I have a gallery of floated thumbnails which I'd like flush against both sides of the containing div, but with whitespace between them.
JSfiddle of the desired behaviour.
Relevant CSS:
.thumb {
display: block;
float: left;
width: calc((100% - 72px)/3);
margin-top: 18px;
margin-right: 36px;
transition: opacity 750ms ease-in-out;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 1553px) {
.thumb:nth-child(3n+3) {
margin-right: 0;
}
}
#media screen and (min-width: 1554px) and (max-width: 2059px) {
.thumb {
width: calc((100% - 108px)/4);
}
.thumb:nth-child(4n+4) {
margin-right: 0;
}
}
#media screen and (min-width: 2060px) {
.thumb {
width: calc((100% - 144px)/5);
}
.thumb:nth-child(5n+5) {
margin-right: 0;
}
}
In Chrome and Firefox on OSX, at some resolutions (such as 1024px), the thirteenth thumbnail centres itself in the container and puts all the :nth-child styles out of whack, breaking the layout below. I've changed the order of the thumbnails, but it's always the thirteenth one. Thinking it may have something to do with fractions of pixels resulting from the calc() division, I subtracted 1px from the width of the thumbnails, with no luck either.
I don't see any relevant difference between what I've done in the JSfiddle and the WIP site. What am I doing wrong?
Well it's not your real answer, but i think you are getting hard to your self!
There are very cool and easy ways to create what you want.
I recommend you to read more about Foundation Block Grid and FlexBox.
don't try to reinvent the wheel.

I have an issue with a media query. Using the following HTML and CSS, the b-class element is supposed to narrow to 128px when the window narrows to the point it would otherwise overlap with the a-class element (roughly). This works on my 3000x2000 laptop display, but in Firefox on my mobile in landscape mode, the elements overlap without the media query rule kicking in.
Example code: codepen.io/krainert/pen/KKzVQLPcode below
<p class="a">Here is a headline</p>
<p class="b">Here is a nav element with several menu items</p>
body, p {
margin: 0;
font-family: 'calibri';
}
.a {
font-size: 50px;
background-color: blue;
}
.b {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
font-size: 24px;
background-color: red;
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 832px) {
.b {
width: 128px;
}
}
I reckon this is caused by discrepancies between differences in device-width and the screen-relative sizes of elements across devices -- that is to say, the difference between device-width on mobile to that on my laptop is greater than the difference between the widths of the elements on mobile to those on my laptop relative to the sizes of their screens. Or maybe I'm confusing myself. What's the best way to fix it?
Try limiting the width of the .a container, so they don't overlap:
#media only screen and (max-width: 832px) {
.b {
width: 128px;
}
.a {
width: calc(100vw - 128px);
}
}
I feel like I'm about to feel very silly in a second, but I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong with my media query. I'm using Adobe's Brackets as my code editor, and originally thought there was a glitch in the program. But then I tested the code in jsFiddle and it's not working there either, so I must be fudging something up with the code.
Can anyone see what's wrong?
Here is my jsFiddle
HTML
<div class="helpful">
<span class="thumb">Did you find this helpful?</span>
<span class="readers">82 Readers found this helpful</span>
</div>
CSS
.helpful .readers {
color: #35cb1a;
font-size: .9em;
}
.helpful .thumb {
float: right;
color: #7b7b7b;
font-size: .9em;
}
#media screen and (max-width: 1020px) {
.helpful .readers,
.helpful .thumb {
display: block;
margin: auto;
}
}
display: block; margin: auto on elements with no specified width has no effect, since blocks with auto width stretch to the full width of their container leaving no room for margins.
Furthermore, auto margins have no effect on a floated element, and a floated element is display: block by definition.
So your media query is working, but the styles in it don't have any apparent effect on the given layout.
If you want the floated element to stop floating at 1020px and narrower, you need to override the float declaration.
If you want the text to be centered, use text-align: center instead of margin: auto.
If you want the two elements to stack vertically, keep the display: block declaration.
Putting it all together:
#media screen and (max-width: 1020px) {
.helpful .readers,
.helpful .thumb {
display: block;
text-align: center;
}
.helpful .thumb {
float: none;
}
}
you code is perfectly fine as you want to centre align those div after some 1020px width and for that you have use this css
#media screen and (max-width: 1020px) {
.helpful .readers,
.helpful .thumb {
display: block;
margin: auto;
}
}
But you always need to mention width if you are using margin:auto.
I am assuming width of 200px so css should be like this
#media screen and (max-width: 1020px) {
.helpful .readers,
.helpful .thumb {
display: block;
margin: auto;
widht:200px;
}
}
Working fine in this fiddle https://jsfiddle.net/vgrtety9/3/
The div in question is:
.fixed {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 200px;
background-color: white;
}
What I want is:
#media screen and (max-width: 720px){
.fixed { display: none; }
}
However apparently that's not how fixed containers work?
So how can I hide a "sticky" container when the screen gets resized to something too small to display both the container and the main content and thus making the container overlap the content?
Your css code seems to be working fine, perhaps there is a rule that has more importance/weight than the one in your media query, add !importat and see if it works:
#media screen and (max-width: 720px){
.fixed { display: none !important; }
}
here my website I´m working on: http://www.whatsahoy.com/
My problem: I want the input field next to the button. If I add a float left, it goes next to each other but with a weird <br>. And then the whole thing is also on the left. I want it to be in the middle.
Can somebody help me please?! Thank you very much!

To provide you with the best solution, it would be helpful to see the source code of your form. The <br> is probably in there somewhere. However, here is my reply based on what I can see. If it does not help, I suggest you update your question.
Adding the following styles to your custom CSS will put the field and button next to eachother until screen width of 767px.
.wpcf7-form p {
display: inline-block;
width: 470px;
max-width: 95%;
}
.wpcf7-form p br {
display: none;
}
If you would like them next to eachother on smaller screens, you could change the width of the frame. This changes on 767px as set by your theme. I'm not sure this will not have an undesired effect elsewhere on your site, but you could try.
#media only screen and ( max-width: 767px ) {
.et_pb_row {
width: 600px;
}
}
However, it then will be crippled on screens as from 600px. It may be better to make the text field smaller then...
#media only screen and ( max-width: 600px ) {
.wpcf7 input {
max-width: 50%;
}
}
You might want to fine tune this a bit, but I hope you get the idea.
GL!
.wpcf7-form-control-wrap {
display: inline-block !important;
margin: -8px;
}
form.wpcf7-form.init.mailchimp-ext-0\.5\.55 {
display: flex !important;
justify-content: center !important;
}
input.wpcf7-form-control.has-spinner.wpcf7-submit {
border-radius:0px !important;
width: 30%;
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 50px) and (max-width: 600px) {
div#wpcf7-f698-p10-o1 {
width: 130%;
}
#media only screen and (min-width: 50px) and (max-width: 600px) {
input.wpcf7-form-control.wpcf7-text.wpcf7-email.wpcf7-validates-as-required.wpcf7-validates-as-email {
width: 235px;
}
form.wpcf7-form.init.mailchimp-ext-0\.5\.55 {
display: flex !important;
padding-right: 70px;
}}
First of all, here's the jsfiddle for the particular markup/styling in question.
Main question is why the img and text box (dark_block) do not have the same margin. Both are set to 100% width of the container div, so I'm not sure what's up. Mind taking a look?
Other things I'm still trying to figure out and googling (thus far) has not helped me:
When the text box is in-line (to the left) of the photo container, how do I get it to be the same height as the photo container
If the image's width is smaller than the photo container, how do I get it to center horizontally and vertically?
For accessibility sake, can I just create a non-responsive version of the css before the #media tag stuff?
Sorry, I'm sort of new to web development, and any help would definitely be appreciated. Also if anything in the code fragment seems awfully done, call me out! I'd love to learn some best-practices in addition to solving the issue at hand. Especially display types, having a hard time wrapping my head around 'em.
Appreciate you taking the time to look at this!

CODE:
<div id="home_top_container">
<div id="photo_slider">
<img src="redacted">
</div>
<div id="dark_block"></div>
</div>
#home_top_contianer {
width: 100%;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 800px){
#photo_slider{
float:right;
background-color: #cccccc;
padding: 0px;
width: 69%;
min-width: 500px;
display: inline-block;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 799px){
#photo_slider{
float:none;
background-color: #cccccc;
padding: 0px;
width: 100%;
min-width: 500px;
display: inline-block;
}
}
#media screen and (min-width: 800px){
#dark_block {
float:left;
background-color: #383838;
padding: 10px;
width: 28%;
display: inline-block;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 799px){
#dark_block {
float:left;
background-color: #383838;
margin-top: 20px;
padding: 10px;
width: 100%;
min-height: 200px;
display: inline-block;
}
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
You need to read up on the CSS box model. The width of an element refers to its content. The padding, border and margin are then added it to it. That means your #dark_block is actually 100% + 2*10px wide.
The proper solution would be to set #dark_block to display: block and remove both floatand width. The default value for width is auto, which automatically makes the block as wide s possible without overflowing. Rule of thumb in web development: If you give a display: block element width: 100%, then you are doing something wrong.
Another simple solution would be to set box-sizing: border-box; on #dark_block, however box-sizing is a relatively new property, so it won't work if you need to support older browsers.
Getting them to the same height, is not a trivial thing. You could use the display: table-* properties, and give them height: 100% but that requires you to put #dark_block first in the HTML.
Quick example:
<div id="home_top_container">
<div>
<div id="dark_block"></div>
<div id="photo_slider">
<img src="http://caldwellfellows.ncsu.edu/wp/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Justin-sews.jpg">
</div>
</div>
</div>
#home_top_container > div > div {
display: table-cell;
width: 50%;
border: 1px solid red;
}
img {
width: 100%;
}
Again centering vertically is not a trivial thing in CSS. Your best bet would be to use display: table-cell with vertical-align: middle.
Most certainly. Especially you should move all properties that are common to all media-variants to outside the media rules, so that you don't repeat them.
Also it's no need to repeat the media rules around each rule. Just have one media rule:
#media screen and (min-width: 800px) {
#photo_slider {
/* ... */
}
#dark_block {
/* ... */
}
}
#media screen and (max-width: 799px) {
#photo_slider {
/* ... */
}
#dark_block {
/* ... */
}
}
