Div not including image properties - css

I have 2 problems, but the second one can't be address until the first one is corrected. The page was looking and working as intended but when I came to work and started working on the page, it seems to be broken. I am using the same browser in both locations.
The problem is that the background for the div is set to auto, like all my other divs on the same page, but the last one for some reason is not spanning to the bottom of the image.

<div class="items">
<h2><a name="friday">Friday catch of the day:</a></h2>
<img src="images/catch.png" align="right" alt="Sage-rubbed Double-cut Pork Chop" />
<p><span class="title">Alaskan Halibut with a Rich Loire Valley Beurre Blanc Sauce</span> - served with mashed purple Peruvian potatoes and haricot verts.</p>
<p><span class="title">Recommended pairing:</span> '98 Passi Emilio Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc</p>
</div>
CSS
.items {
margin: 20px;
height: auto;
width: 910px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .7);
padding: 10px;
z-index: 1;
}
.items img {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
float: right;
border-radius: 6px;
width: auto;
padding: 8px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.items p {
font-family: 'PT Sans';
font-size: 16px;
}
.items a {
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
}

.items img {
float: left; <---- ???
margin-right: 10px;
float: right; <---- ???
border-radius: 6px;
width: auto;
padding: 8px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
You're floating right and left. Choone one. You also need to clear your floats afterwards for normal flow to resume

add overflow: auto to items class.
.items {
margin: 20px;
height: auto;
width: 910px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .7);
padding: 10px;
z-index: 1;
overflow: auto;
}

One solution could be adding an empty div and clear: both
HTML:
<div class="items">
...
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.clear {
clear: both;
}
JSFiddle

Here you go. Save this code as a snippet for any future development. Just add the class .clearfix to the parent container if it contains floating childs and you're good to go :)
.clearfix{*zoom:1;}
.clearfix:before,.clearfix:after{display:table;content:"";line-height:0;}
.clearfix:after{clear:both;}

I have 2 questions based on the linked(or above) code.
The 5 container div's width was set as:
.itemnumber 6%, .userprofile 14%, .nameandcredit 45%, .ranktitle 15%, .usercredit 20%. So in total they are 100%. But as you see, the last one .usercredit is not in the same line and there're margins between each div, which is not what I want.
for the .username, I have set overflow:hidden, but as you see, when there's a large string, the .username was totally disappeared. If there're spaces in the string, it will only hide the overflow part and show the front part. I want to know what's the problem?
I know it's a little bit messed up of a lot code here. But my question is as listed as above. Thanks in advance for any kind suggestion.
For the spacing, you have two problems:
Implicit spaces between inline-block elements, and
Defining widths for elements with padding.
Regarding username overflow, you have one issue:
Default word wrapping behavior is to wrap the whole word to the next line. You need to change that behavior.
Let's take a look at each of them:
Implicit Spaces
The problem is that your divs have a display: inline-block; style. Elements displayed as an inline-block have any white-space between them converted to a single space.
See the "Fighting the Space Between Inline Block Elements" article on CSS Tricks for more information on how to overcome this.
One fix, for instance, is to have the li element that is wrapping the divs to have a 0 font-size, and reset a non-zero font size to its children, e.g. in your CSS:
.font-size-0 {
font-size: 0;
}
.font-size-0 > * {
font-size: 12px;
}
Any of the links outlined in the link above would work; for example, removing spaces and newlines between your closing tag and opening tag would do the same thing, without forcing you to set and reset the font-size.
Widths for elements with padding
In CSS, a width is defined by default for an element to include only its content area (box-sizing: content-box; by default) and not the padding. Set the box-sizing to border-box and you'll be all set.
E.g.
.font-size-0 > div {
box-sizing: border-size;
}
Properly wrapping a single word without spaces
See this StackOverflow answer to see how to address the issue. You will basically need to add this to your .username rule:
.username {
...
word-wrap:break-word;
}

Issue placing div after facebook friends box

Every time I include the code for the facebook friends like box the div element box below it goes wacky. I cannot control where its positioned. It either disappears or overlaps a different div. Originally I just wanted specials, events, then fbFriends in a row then the box div below the three divs. I have been trying to wrap the divs to control everything better but am still unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated
specials events fbFriends

Here's anwser for your question
EXAMPLE ON CODEPEN
Your build of these box's is weird thats why I had to use top: 40px; with position: relative;
btw. that's how you do on jsfiddle or codepen exampl, thats all community ask. Spend 5 min for your question isnt much to ask?
hope thats help.
EDIT:
I found what what the issue, you didnt closed specialsWrapper div thats why margin dint work.
I also cancel margin-botton from boxes inside specialWrapper and put overflow: auto to specialWrapper to countheight.
Now top: no need to be writen.
I think what you might want it display: inline-block; but without something to see I can't really know what's going on. And your description isn't enough. Could you post what's going on on js.fiddle.net or give us an example site?

Fix the alignment of two child divs

The project is to create a micro-blogging website similar to Twitter. I chose to name the site Chirper (how clever of me). Each post is structured by a parent div, an avatar div and a content div. The avatar and content divs are displayed inline, but they are not aligned properly. Any help is appreciated.
HTML:
<div class="chirp">
<div class="chirp_avatar_region">
<img src="img/avatar/default.png" alt="Avatar" width="64" height="64">
</div>
<div class="chirp_content">
<p>
USER
<span class="timeStamp">2013-11-22 16:43:59</span>

COMMENT

ReChirp!

</div>
The div's aren't aligned how I want them to be (level and 100% of the parent).
I can't post images, so here is a link to an imgur page: http://imgur.com/Mn9mE5q
Relevant CSS:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #000;
background-color: #666;
font-size: 1em;
}
/* Containers */
div {
margin-top: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 3px;
border-color: #000;
padding: 10px;
}
div.pane {
width: 70%;
background-color: 0099FF;
}
div.chirp {
border-width: 1px;
margin-bottom: -1px;
width: 80%;
padding: 5px;
}
div.chirp_avatar_region {
display: inline-block;
width: 10%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
/*border-style: none;*/
}
div.chirp_content {
display: inline-block;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
/*border-style: none;*/
}
div.chirp_avatar_region > img, div.chirp_content > p {
margin-top: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
}
You can either float your inner divs then clear the float following the container
or
use vertical-align:top to position your divs at the top of the container
Not entirely sure, but what I think is happening is that by defining position:inline-block, it's putting them on the same line, and making the line-height the height of the chirp_content container. In a sense anyway.
Set to vertical-align:top; and it should solve it.
Ex.
.chirp_content, .chirp_avatar_region{ vertical-align:top; }
JS Fiddle
Give to the avatar_region a float: left, and remove its width: and height: setting. Remove the chirp_content div, it circumvents the inlining.

How can I vertically align .link a (the button) within .link without giving a height or width? Like this...
Here's my fiddle
Here is one way that you can do it. Your HTML is good, no need to change anything.
For the CSS:
.body { width: 920px; }
.banner {
background-color: #454545;
border-bottom: 3px solid #F9F9F9;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 0 5px;
padding: 0;
display: table;
}
.banner > div {
outline: 1px dotted yellow; /* optional to show cell edges... */
display: table-cell;
}
.banner .name {
width: 25%;
vertical-align: top;
padding-top: 25px; /* control top white space */
text-align: center;
}
.banner .name h2 {
color: #F9F9F9;
max-height: 55px;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .title {
width: 50%;
vertical-align: top;
padding-top: 25px;
}
.banner .title h3 {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 15px;
margin: 0px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .title p {
font-size: 12px;
max-height: 35px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .link {
width: 25%;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left; /* set to left, center or right as needed */
}
.banner .link a {
margin-left: 25px; /* controls left offset */
background-color: #FA9800;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block; /* use inline-block if you want to center element */
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
height: 23px;
line-height: 23px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100px;
}
See the fiddle at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/jsG8F/
How This Works
The trick is to use display: table on your .banner container and then display: table-cell on your child div elements, and set the % widths to 25%, 50%, 25% respectively for .name, .title, .link.
You can then use vertical-align and text-align to control vertical and horizontal placement of the various text blocks.
I added comments related to using padding-top to control white space from the top of the banner.
For the .link a element, you can adjust the left margin (or right) as needed.
These CSS rules offer you a lot of fine control over the placement of the various elements within the banner.
Backwards Compatibility
The display: table-cell property is backwards compatible back to IE8.
Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display
If the size of the element and banner are fixed, use margin-top to offset the element.
Marc Audet was very close but I ended up going a slightly different route.
I gave .link a a fixed top margin and made margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; and that did the trick.
Here is the fiddle for reference.

How can I allow div to float outside the main container

I am working on WP using a template and I'm trying to get a button to float outside the main container. I went through some already posted questions here, but no luck.
I have tried with padding, margin, overflow, etc. The one thing that seems to work is by setting negative margin, but in that case the div is hidden by the main container.
Here's the HTML:
<div class="purchase_options_meta clearfix">
<div class="purchase_options">
<div id="deal_attributes_wrap" class="section ">
</div>
<div class="buy_button gb_ff font_x_large">
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here's the CSS I'm using:
.container.main {
width: 980px;
padding: 20px;
overflow: visible;
}
.purchase_options {
position: relative;
}
.buy_button {
position: absolute;
background: url(http://topgreekgyms.fitnessforum.gr/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Button12.png) no-repeat center;
color: white;
height: 100px;
width: 375px;
left: -54px;
top: -16px;
}
.button {
background-color: transparent;
color: #ffffff;
}
.button:hover {
background-color: transparent;
color: #cccccc;
}
.buy_button a {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 29px;
font-family: arial;
padding: 12px;
display: block;
white-space: nowrap;
position: relative;
margin: 15px 0 0 50px;
}
.buy_button a span {
position: absolute;
right: 33px;
padding: 0 5px;
}
And here's a link to the page. My problem is with the top red button at the left.
I would greatly appreciate any help!
Just in case that helps someone in the future:
I had to add this part of CSS in my code:
#deal_single.clearfix:after {
clear: both !important;
}
Just to be more specific '#deal_single' is the page id.
