float a horizontal centered div - css

I'm sorry if this is a duplicate question, but I can't find an easy solution.
The Problem: I have a divdisplaying a timeline. This div is centered at the top by:
margin: 0 auto
Now I have a search field, which should be displayed on the top right of the page. When the window is wide enought, both elements shoulb be displayed on the top.
If the window is too small, the timeline should float under the search field.
My Html:
<div class="search">
<form.../>
</div>
<div class="timeline">...</div>
My Css:
.search {
float: right;
margin-right: 14px;
position: relative;
top: -1px;
}
.timeline{
width: 768px;
height: 15px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: visible;
padding: 48px 40px 15px;
}

You can use mediaqueries like in this FIDDLE :
add this CSS :
#media screen and (max-width:1000px) {
.search {
float:none;
margin: 0 auto;
}
}

Centering div without it to jump to top?

When I am trying to center div like
.div {
display: block;
width: 288px;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
}
It is centered, alright, but I don't have that box around div when I am inspecting element in Chrome, and my div shows at top of the page on chrome, inside inspected element.
If I float it left than I will get that box, but centered with margin, no.
How to fix this?
Are you looking for this kind
.container {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.center-div {
display: block;
width: 288px;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 100px;
background: #000;
}
<div class="container" >
<div class="center-div"></div>
</div>

Setting up two rows on a left and right sides of a horizontal center using CSS

I am facing a same problem. I'm trying to create two separate rows (marked as red background color) to be aligned horizontally in the center. One of the row on the left side of center part, and second one on the right side of the center part.
Do I need to add something or change some values? I've been trying to do this for 2 hours now.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you :)
.others {
position: relative;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 70%;
background-color: #d0d0d0;
height: 500px;
margin: auto;
padding: 40px 15% 20px 15%;
display: table;
}
.others p {
margin: 0px;
height: 300px;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
<DIV CLASS="others">
<P ID="leftside">
News will be shown here as they appear.
</P>
<P ID="rightside">

</DIV>
.others {
position: relative;
vertical-align: middle;

background-color: #d0d0d0;

margin: auto;
padding: 40px 15% 20px 15%;
display: table;
}
.others p {
margin: 0px auto;
height: 300px;
width:50%;
display-inline-block;
text-align:center;

<DIV CLASS="others">
<P ID="leftside">

</P>
<P ID="rightside">

</P>
</DIV>
Worked for me just by removing float:left; and add display:table-cell; to .others p.
Fiddle
.others p {
margin: 0px;
height: 300px;
background-color: red;
display:table-cell;
}
.others p {
margin: 0px;
height: 300px;
background-color: red;
display:inline-block;
}
i think you shouldnt use <p> for positioning.
use <div> instead.
also using float:left or float:right might solve your problem.
Read up on using floating items here:
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_class_float.asp
Also, when using floats, browsers will assume there is nothing inside your 'container' <div>.
So i'd also suggest you read up on using css attribute overflow.

.others
{
position: relative;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 70%;
background-color: #d0d0d0;
height: 500px;
margin: auto;
padding: 40px 15% 20px 15%;
display: table;
}
#leftside
{
display:inline-block;
margin: 0px;
height: 300px;
width:50%;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
#rightside
{
display:inline-block;
margin: 0px;
height: 300px;
width:50%;
float: right;
background-color: green;
}
<DIV CLASS="others">
<P ID="leftside">
News will be shown here as they appear.
</P>
<P ID="rightside">
Here you will be able to see our products.
</P>
</DIV>
You just need to provide to p a width value because you are floating the p elements to the left, every p element into the container will get out of the normal document flow and flow from left to right.
Just add width: 50% to every p element. like this:
.others p {
margin: 0px;
height: 300px;
float: left;
background-color: red;
width:50%;
}
Also provide a clearfix or overflow:hidden; to the .others in order to contain the floated elements within it's body.
Here is a demo to work with
Edit: Almost forgot. If you want to gain control onto your layout, provide also a min-width and a max-width value to the body container, so it doesn't strech to much on wide screens, nor it is contained to much on narrower screens. Also, try a css framework, like bootstrap. It will give you fine control onto your layout.
Cheers!

CSS style formatting

My footer and its content do not re-position proportional to each other when I reduce the height of the footer.
CSS code:
#footer {
clear: right;
background: #d1dceb;
text-align: right;
padding: 20px;
width: 70%;
float: right;
height: 5px;
}
#footer p.left {
float: left;
text-align: left;
margin-left: 5px;
}
#footer p.right {
float: right;
text-align: right;
margin-right: 5px;
}
And this is what I am getting:
Anything I should do to resolve this?
Remove height and add overflow: hidden:
#footer
{
clear: right;
background: #d1dceb;
text-align: right;
padding: 20px;
width: 70%;
overflow: hidden;
}
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
just before footer div ends and also try removing height from footer
Well, you're not adding any context and any HTML markup. But this is important:
#footer {
clear: right; /* why are you doing this? **/
background: #d1dceb;
text-align: right;
padding: 20px;
width: 70%;
float: right; /* why are you doing this? **/
height: 5px;
}
take a look at those commented lines, which quite probably you don't need at all.
Now, into your issue, you can use two options:
1) clear floats by using the "clearfix" method: simply add an empty div that clears the floats of preceding elements, like this:
<div class="clearfix"></div>
and then in CSS:
.clearfix{clear:both; float:none;}
Obviously you can use this as many times as you want since you're using re-usable classes.
The option 2 is as follows:
#footer p.right:after {content:'';clear:both; float:none; }
What we do here is to add some "empty" content, yet we assign it a "clear:both" property to clear everything, more or less as if we have added that div in option 1
Of course option 1 is way better, but well, there you go
You're using float to position elements, which means that the height of the floated elements are set to 0, just like if you're using positioning: absolute. DON'T use floats! Use flex.
#footer {
background: #d1dceb;
padding: 20px;
width: 70%;
display: flex;
margin: 0 auto; /* center element */
}
#footer p {
flex: 1 1 auto; /* fill up the entire available space */
}
#footer p.right {
text-align: right;
}
<div id="footer">
<p>Left footer element</p>
<p class="right">Right footer element</p>
</div>

HTML/CSS - What rules should I set to get this proper alignment?

Here is an image that illustrates my goal:
http://imgur.com/80v5bRk
What would be the best way to achieve a style that looks like this? By this, I am asking, how can I set up rules so that the spacing and locations of the buttons are perfectly aligned in the center (they are not aligned correctly right now). I was thinking of a div that wraps the whole thing together, a div that floats left holding the first angle and the title, and a second div that floats left holding the icons. The icons are from the font-awesome package and I do not understand how to align them correctly.
Something along the lines of this should do:
HTML:
<div class="bar">
<div class="first button"></div>
<dic class="second button"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.bar{
width: 960px;
height: 60px;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
padding: 5px;
}
.button {
width: 50px;
height: 100%;
float: right;
margin-right: 10px;
background-size: 50px 50px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center; /* This is what will centralize it vertically and horizontally */
}
.first { background-image: url('image.png') }
.second { background-image: url('image2.png') }
I hope this helped.
Well, its hard to answer it exactly unless you post what you currently have.
However, your on the right track.
What I would do:
Wrap the whole thing in a div (as you said)
float the text left (which you said as well)
float the icons right (not left)
As far as spacing, put a margin/padding left/right to the two buttons.
EDIT:
As per my discussion with Luiz Berti:
You are almost right.
Try this instead:
http://jsfiddle.net/GYPK5/1/
HTML
<div class="bar">
<div class="text">Lots of stuff here</div>
<div class="buttons">
<img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/led24.de/led/16/page-white-edit-icon.png" />
<img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/led24.de/led/16/bin-closed-icon.png" />
</div>
<div class="clear"> </div>
</div>
CSS
.bar {
width: 400px;
border: 1px solid black;
height: 20px;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 20px;
}
.text {
margin-left: 20px;
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
.buttons {
float: right;
margin-right: 20px;
position: relative;
top: 2px;
}
.buttons img {
margin: 0 10px;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
width: 0;
height: 0;
}

Keeping floated divs inline

I'm having trouble getting my layout working correctly, I have a main div and a sidebar div these are both float: left if the screen size is resized or if its viewed on screen smaller that what I have designed on (1920x1080) then the sidebar div drops below the main content.
I tried placing a wrapper around each div, but this has no effect.
<div id="header">
[Header]
</div>
<div id="content">
[Content]
</div>
<div id="sideBar">
[SideBar]
</div>
<div id="footer">
[Footer]
</div>
body
{
width: 100%;
color: #000000;
background-color: #000000;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#header
{
width: 100%;
height: 110px;
background-color: #336699;
color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#content
{
float: left;
margin-left: 50px;
width: 70%;
height: 700px;
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
#sideBar
{
float: left;
margin-left: 50px;
width: 15%;
height: 400px;
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#footer
{
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
background-color: #174555;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
color: #ffffff;
clear: both;
}
Basicly both div's should resize until a certain size is reached, then scrolling should be enabled. I'm pretty sure I have done something simple wrong but i'm not much of a design person.
Example can be shown here : Link
Thanks for any advice :)
Karpie's right.
Also why not simply start out with one main div, say measuring 1000px in width, then work within that? If you can't do that then choose a measurement type, like px, and stick with for the widths, padding and margins of those elements. At least that would make it easier to do your math and know how much space you do or don't have.
I generally stick to relative measurements, like pixels (I don't like absolutes, it's personal. :P).
EDIT
Ok, try this, add a wrapper around the entire page (just to test, so bear with me). Give that wrapper an id of like #main-body or something, and define a width. Set the widths of the content and sidebar. If you minimize the screen, the sidebar shouldn't fall below the content div. It wil go outside the view port, though.
/* Wrap all in #main-body with specified width */
#main-body{
width:1000px;
margin:0 auto;
}
/* give these elements a relative width */
#content
{
float: left;
margin-left: 50px;
width:600px;
height: 700px;
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
#sideBar
{
float: left;
width:100px;
margin-left: 50px;
height: 400px;
margin-top: 40px;
padding: 30px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
Sorry for the length of this. :P
You're mixing up percentages and pixels. 70% width + 30px padding + 50px margin (all on content) + 50px margin + 15% width + 30px padding (all on sidebar) can add up to more than 100%.
