I can't seem to get my div to align side by side inside a div, can someone see where the problem is? I am trying to position the divContainer element with a height up to the buttonPanel element and the 2 testDiv elements positioned side by side. I also tried setting the testDiv element with float: left but that didn't work either.

Let me give you an example:
you have two div left-div say ldiv and right-div say rdiv.These divs are inside main-div say mdiv
ie
<div class = "mdiv">
<div class="ldiv">
</div>
<div class="rdiv">
</div>
</div>
then you css shoul be like this:
#mdiv{}
#ldiv {float:left;}
#rdiv{ float:left;}
Make the following changes to your code: http://jsfiddle.net/ak9Gs/. box-sizing instructs the browser to take padding and borders into account when sizing an element.
CSS:
.testDiv {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid blue;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.testDiv:first-of-type {
float: left;
}
.testDiv:first-of-type {
float: right;
}
You are giving width as 50% and border with 2px that's why your div'a were not placed sise by side. If you remove border you can get your div's as you need.
DEMO
CSS:
.testDiv {
display: block;
float:left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#ccc;
}
.testDiv:first-child{
display: block;
float:left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
}
I gave color difference instead of border for both test div's.
change the testDiv class to have display of inline then they will be side by side
.testDiv {
display: inline;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid blue;
}
Hope this helps.

I am a new css programmer and there is a very annoying problem in my code. when I put the grey bars in they are not touching the left side of the screen they touch the right side but not the left side and I do not know why there is nothing in my code that is stopping them so I do not know why it would be doing that please help me fix it thanks! (the big white space in the middle is supposed to be there it is for a picture.)

By default the body on the page has this css:
body {
display: block;
margin: 8px;
}
body:focus {
outline: none;
}
at the top of your css file just add:
body {
margin:0;
}
this way you're working with 0 margins to begin with.
Margins of <body> don't matter because those grey bars are absolutely positioned to the right therefore they stick to the right side of <html> element. If the screen resolution (the width of your screen or window) is bigger then the width: 1870px;, they are gonna stick to the right side and leave an empty space on the left.
If you want those grey boxes to always stick to both sides of your screen, use width: 100%; or no width and left: 0; instead:
.connect {
background-color: #6b6b6b;
position: absolute;
top: 340px;
right: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
border: 3px solid #6b6b6b;
}
or
.connect {
background-color: #6b6b6b;
position: absolute;
top: 340px;
right: 0;
left: 0;
height: 40px;
border: 3px solid #6b6b6b;
}
Both will stretch the element to the width of their parent element.
But it is good to set the body's position to relative and get rid of its default margins. In my opinion, you shouldn't use the <html> tag for styling. It will make those absolutely positioned grey boxes stick to the sides of <body> and not <html>:
body {
margin: 0;
position: relative;
}
See this link to learn more about positioning: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_positioning.asp
I have a CSS file, mastercss4.css:

background-color: red;
}
#topleft {

height: 141px;
background-color: yellow;
float: left;
}
#topmid {
width: 15px;
height: 141px;
background-color: green;
float: left;
}
#topright {
width: 797px;
height: 141px;
background-color: cyan;
float: left;
}
#middle {
width: 1000px;
height: 598px;
background-color: white;
float: clear;
}
#midleft {

background-color: aquamarine;
float: left;
}
#midmid {

}
#midright {

I have an HTML file, default09.html:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="description" content="test">
<meta name="author" content="Algomeysa">
<title>test</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="mastercss4.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<div id="top">
<div id="topleft">tl</div>
<div id="topmid"></div>
<div id="topright">tr</div>
</div>
<div id="middle">
<div id="midleft">ml</div>
<div id="midmid"></div>
<div id="midright">mr</div>
</div>
<div id="bottom">bottom</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
what should result is the Red, White, and Blue bars completely overwritten
Top row: Yellow box, thin Green section, Cyan box
Middle row: Aquamarine box, thin Orange section, Blueviolet box
Bottom row: Blue box
What happens instead is the top right cyan box gets dropped down to the middle left, and everything else is staggered.
Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong?
set topright width to 792px. You have 5 more pixels than your parent container width:
#topright{
width: 792px;
}
clear is not a valid value for the float property. left, right, none, initial and inherit are the only valid values for float.
clear itself is a css property and accepts left, right, both, none, initial or inherit.
It looks like you have a couple of instances of float: clear; in your code. Change those to something like clear: both; and you should be fine.
make it simple just change
float:none
to #topright
and reduce the width of topright as rquired
I have the following HTML5 code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
<style>
body {
max-width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
font-size: 120%;
}
header, nav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid black;
}
header {
border-color: red;
}
img.mainpicture {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<img class="mainpicture" src="http://s29.postimg.org/ajjbb0n07/apic.jpg" alt="A picture"/></header><nav>Navigation area.</nav>
</body>
</html>
Can someone please explain why there is about 5 pixels of empty space between the <header> and the <nav> content, and how can I remove it?
By adding
header {
padding-bottom: 1px;
}
to the CSS file, the height of the white space is extended by one pixel, so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the padding of <header>.
EDIT: I would like to do it without using <nav style="position: relative; top:-7px;">.
Set display block on the image for fixing fitting issues.
body {
max-width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
font-size: 120%;
}
header,
nav {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid black;
}
img.mainpicture {
width: 100%;
display: block;
}
<header>
<img class="mainpicture" src="//lorempicsum.com/futurama/960/200/2" alt="A picture" />
</header>
<nav>
Navigation area.
</nav>
Just add
img.mainpicture{
.....................
.....................
vertical-align: top;
}
That will fix the issue:)
It could be because of the inner elements having a margin, that is protruding outside! And also since you have an <img />, give a display: block; to it. Try overflow: hidden; for both header, nav:
header, nav {
overflow: hidden;
}
header img {
display: block;
}
Set the property margin-bottom equal to zero.
margin-bottom: 0;
I have the following simple example of an img and a p floated next to each other in a div. If you uncomment the last bit of CSS, the text drops below the image and stays there - but only in IE8 Standards mode. How do I get the image to resize in IE8 without this unfortunate side effect?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.slide {
border-style: solid;
border-color: #DDDDDD;
border-width: 7px;
display: inline-block;

*display: inline;
}
.slide img {
border-right-style: solid;
border-color: #DDDDDD;
border-width: 7px;
float: left;
}
.slide .caption {
width: 230px;
float: left;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 20px;
}
/* Here's the issue. */
/*.slide img, .slide, .slide_wrapper {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}*/
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="slide_wrapper">
<div class="slide">
<img src="http://placehold.it/362x250" />
<p class="caption">
test2
</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Setting an explicit width makes the text behave as expected:
.slide {
width: 629px;
}
Put this in your <head></head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
It probably fix the problem.
I'm trying to set up a simple horizontal tab structure for a page I'm working on, and I'm running into some trouble with floating div's combined with z-index.
Viewing the following code in a browser:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
#main { width: 500px; z-index: 1;}
.left { float: left; width: 96px; background-color: red; border: 2px solid orange; z-index: 2; margin-right: -2px }
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 3; }
.clear { clear: both; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<div class="left">
LEFT
</div>
<div class="right">
RIGHT
<br />
RIGHT
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Why doesn't the left div's orange border overlap the right div's green border?
z-index property will not apply to statically positioned elements. In order to use z-index the CSS must also include any position value other than static (ie relative, absolute, fixed).
.left { float: left; width: 96px; background-color: red; border: 2px solid orange; z-index: 3; margin-right: -2px; position: relative; }
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 2; position: relative; }
Will give you what you want I think. I added position: relative; and changed the z-index of the .left to 3 (from 2) and changed the z-index of .right to 2 (from 3).
z-index has no effect on elements that are not positioned (eg position:absolute;)
Use the position property for element upper. Adding position:relative to .left.
Negative margin-left?
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 3; margin-left: -5px;}
