I've been encountering some problems. I dont know why my div.clear does not do the job. As you can see the button next should be surrounded in the red div. Please check my source thanks!
http://www.w3dominik.com/x/vocabito/dashboard.php
<div id="buttonsx">
<div id="next">next</div>
<div class="clear"> </div>
</div>
Simply add overflow:auto to the button. It works - I tested it.
#buttonsx {
padding: 10px;
color: #fff;
background-color: red;
overflow: auto;
}
The reason this was occurring was because the content was collapsing on the button, as it didn't have a set height. Setting overflow:auto will force the parent to contain the child.
You have this in your main.css at line 126
#buttonsx>div {
border-radius: 5px;
display: inline-block;
float: left; /* <-- this is the problem */
}
This float: left; rule is causing the problem, if you remove float: left; from this, it'll work as it suppose to do.

I've run into a bit of a snag whilst developing the frontend for a website. I'm competent with CSS, but not fantastic. Anyway, I've created a jsFiddle here that illustrates my problem.
On each page of my website, at the top of the content section, I have a banner image. I wish to put a two colour divider seperating this banner from the content. (As is shown in the mockup my designer gave me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d9opotyiyp0yc9o/menus.jpg)
I'd like to do this in pure CSS+HTML, without just chucking an image in. Anyway, I've done so using the following code:
<img class="banner" src="http://regency.ymindustries.com/static/images/winelist.jpg" style="width: 100%;">
<div>
<div style="width:30%; height: 10px; display: inline-block; background: #6C210C"></div><div style="width:70%; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"></div>
</div>
(Please forgive the inline CSS, it's just for demonstration purposes. Also, unfortunately, if I put the second div on a newline and indent it, it creates whitespace)
The issue I'm having is that there is a large gap between the divider and the image. I have tried adding margin: 0px and padding: 0px to all the relevant elements, and the whitespace is still there.
Could someone help me out please?
Thanks,
YM
To me it's a vertical alignment issue. You can try
.banner {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
div {
height: 10px;
vertical-align: top;
}
That way you don't have to use negative margins (which aren't wrong, just controversial practice).
Check it out here
you can make the position relative and then set the top to something minus. ex:
position: relative;
top:-10px;
left:0px;
this is actually float problem
<img class="banner" src="http://regency.ymindustries.com/static/images/winelist.jpg">
<div style="">
<div style="float:left;width:30%; height: 10px; display: inline-block; background: #6C210C"></div><div style="width:70%;float:left; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"></div>
</div>
css
.banner {
width:100%;
float:left;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/eLbUU/4/
using display block and floating the divs, also making sure the img itself is display block with overflow hidden I was able to tighten up the stripes to the img : fiddle
.banner {
width:100%;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
div div{
float: left;
}
First of all, put the darker brown in the lighter brown div. That way, when the window is re-sized, you don't compromise the sizing percentage and/or spacing.
<div style="width:100%; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"> <div style="width:30%; height: 10px; background: #6C210C;"></div></div>
And with the space, you can either use negative margins or floats like others have mentioned.
.banner {
width:100%;
/* margin-bottom to the banner is negative which moves the div upward */
margin-bottom: -10px;
}
fiddle here
Putting display: block; for the image class and float:left; for all other elements may help.
.banner {
width:100%;
display:block;
float:left;
}

Here is my code.
The HTML:
<div class=column1of4>
<a rel="Appendix" href="images/watermarks/watermark_pic1.jpg" title="Bottle in the mirror"><img src="images/250-width/pic1.jpg" alt="" width="250px" height="250px" id="Bottleinthemirrorpic"></a>
<span id="Bottleinthemirror" class="spanlink"><p>Bottle in the mirror<p></span>
</div>
<div class=column1of4>
<a rel="Appendix" href="images/watermarks/watermark_pic9.jpg" title="The empty glass"><img src="images/250-width/pic9.jpg" alt="" width="250px" height="250px"></a>
</div>
<div class=column1of4>
<a rel="Appendix" href="images/watermarks/watermark_pic10.jpg" title="The last drop"><img src="images/250-width/pic10.jpg" alt="" width="250px" height="250px"></a>
</div>
The CSS:
#Bottleinthemirror {
width: 250px;
height: 90px;
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.55);
margin-top: 10px;
color: white;
line-height: 20px;
font-size: 12px;
}
.column1of4 {
margin: 50px;
float: left;
}
The Javascript:
$('#Bottleinthemirror').hide();
$('#Bottleinthemirrorpic, #Bottleinthemirror').hover(function(){
//in
$('#Bottleinthemirror').show();
},function(){
//out
$('#Bottleinthemirror').hide();
});
Basically, I have three pictures, two of them beside each other and the third one is below the first one. Which I hover over the first picture, I want the #bottleinthemirror span to appear, which it does. The problem is, even when the span is hidden, it still rearranges the layout of the website and moves the picture below it to another place even though it's position is set to absolute. Any idea why? When I remove the span, the website layout is normal. It changes when I put in the span even though the spans position is absolute.
Probably the problem is that span can not contain p, and in your code there are technically 2 p elements in the span (both p tags are opening). When browsers fix this incorrect markup, part of the last p may appear outside the span. If there is a need to have p inside .spanlink, it's better to use div instead of span. But is the p really necessary here?
Add
display: block;
to
#Bottleinthemirror
I set this up in a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/r2XG2/1/ and it appears to be working for me in Chrome. What browser are you in? I would try the following if it's still not working for you:
Set z-index: 100 to see if that will force it to appear over the other elements. You could also try setting the top or left values in css, that may also force it to appear in the correct place. Adding display: block; couldn't hurt either.
Edit: Updated fiddle with latest update from asker it also appears that IE won't load jsfiddle. I added position: relative to the parent div to see if that helps.
#Bottleinthemirror {
width: 250px;
height: 90px;
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.55);
margin-top: 10px;
color: white;
line-height: 20px;
font-size: 12px;
z-index: 100;
display: block;
}
.column1of4 {
margin: 50px;
float: left;
position: relative;
}
Just a simple image that uses some jQuery to fade some content over the top when moused over.
Only problem is that when the hover over takes effect, the hover spills into the div gutter making the hover over bigger than the actual container.
each image is layed out like so
<li class="large-4 columns item">
<div class="description"><h1>Image hover</h1></div>
<img class="display" src="http://placehold.it/400x300">
</li>
Can see a live example here.
http://jsfiddle.net/QLUMH/
Any ideas on ways to fix/improve what I am doing here? Cheers
Demo
Here you have live example,
you are giving 100% to width and height.
so that really goes overflow.
Code edited-
#portfolio .description {
position: absolute;
background: rgba(0,199,134,0.8);
display: none;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
}
The issue is that your description fills the entire column, which is wider than your image. If you add an "inner column"/container that collapse to the same width as your image, it will work alright. I've created a fork of your demo that demonstrates this.
I've added a wrapper "ib" (Just stands for inner block. rename this to a proper name) inside each .column.item like so:
<div class="ib">
<div class="description">
<h1>Image hover</h1>
</div>
<img class="display" src="http://placehold.it/400x300">
</div>
And then just created a very simple CSS rule for making this wrapper collapse to its contents:
.ib {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
You did not style your li. The issue is that in foundation.css it is getting padding-left and padding-right. You need to remove that and use margin-left and margin-right instead. And you also need to fix the width of the li. As .description will get its 100% height. So you need to include a small css in your own file (don not modify foundation.css).
#portfolio li.columns{
/* You can use the width in '%' if you want to make the design fluid */
width: 400px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px 0.9375em;
}
Fiddle
You'll just have to get rid of the padding on tne li
li{ padding:0 }
or use the the box-sizing property:
`li { box-sizing:border-box; -moz-box-sizing:border-box; }
Change in CSs will help,
I have updated the same in fiddle
with change in CSS,
#portfolio .description {
position: absolute;
background: rgba(0,199,134,0.8);
display: none;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
}
#portfolio .description h1 {
color: white;
opacity: 1;
font-size: 1.4em;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 20%;
width:400px;
height:300px;
overflow:hidden;
}
Update:
If the H1 created extra cutter and wrapping issue(for some), please use the DIV tag instead, which should work fine!
I hope this will solve your problem :)
I have two divs that are not nested, one below the other. They are both within one parent div, and this parent div repeats itself. So essentially:
<div id='parent_div_1'>
<div class='child_div_1'></div>
<div class='child_div_2'></div>
</div>
<div id='parent_div_2'>
<div class='child_div_1'></div>
<div class='child_div_2'></div>
</div>
<div id='parent_div_3'>
<div class='child_div_1'></div>
<div class='child_div_2'></div>
</div>
I want to get each pair of child_div_1 and child_div_2 next to each other. How can I do this?
Since div's by default are block elements - meaning they will occupy full available width, try using -
display:inline-block;
The div is now rendered inline i.e. does not disrupt flow of elements, but will still be treated as a block element.
I find this technique easier than wrestling with floats.
See this tutorial for more - http://learnlayout.com/inline-block.html. I would recommend even the previous articles that lead up to that one. (No, I did not write it)
#parent_div_1, #parent_div_2, #parent_div_3 {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid red;
margin-right: 10px;
float: left;
}
.child_div_1 {
float: left;
margin-right: 5px;
}

I found the below code very useful, it might help anyone who comes searching here

<body>
<div style="width: 50%; height: 50%; background-color: green; float:left;">-</div>
<div style="width: 50%; height: 50%; background-color: blue; float:right;">-</div>
<div style="width: 100%; height: 50%; background-color: red; clear:both">-</div>

Using flexbox it is super simple!
#parent_div_1, #parent_div_2, #parent_div_3 {
display: flex;
}
Fiddle example
Using the style
.child_div_1 {
float:left
}
Best that works for me:
.left{
width:140px;
float:left;
height:100%;
}
.right{
margin-left:140px;
}

I have a containing div that is NOT restricting the width of its child divs. The divs are stretching all the way to the full width of the screen, when i have a set width on both the container and the child. Why is this happening. I do NOT have any positioning or floating going on.
Please view my HTML:
<ul class="tabs_commentArea">
<li class="">Starstream</li>
<li class="">Comments</li>
</ul>
<div id="paneWrap">
<div class="panes_comments">
<div class="comments">member pane 1</div>
<div class="comments">member pane 2</div>
<div class="comments">member pane 3</div>
</div>
My CSS, the relevant parts of it at least:
#MembersColumnContainer {
width: 590px;
float: left;
padding-right: 0px;
clear: none;
padding-bottom: 20px;
padding-left: 2px;
}
ul.tabs_commentArea {
list-style:none;
margin-top: 2px !important;
padding:0;
border-bottom:0px solid #666;
height:30px;
}
ul.tabs_commentArea li {
text-indent:0;
margin: !important;
list-style-image:none !important;
padding-top: 0;
padding-right: 0;
padding-bottom: 0;
padding-left: 0;
float: right;
}
#paneWrap {
border: solid 3px #000000;
}
.panes_comments div {
display: ;
padding: px px;
/*border:medium solid #000000;*/
height:150px;
width: 588px;
background-color: #FFFF99;
}
You could set max-width on either, or both, of the div elements to prevent their expansion:
#containerDiv {
min-width: 400px; /* prevents the div being squashed by an 'extreme' page-resize */
width: 50%; /* defines the normal width of the div */
max-width: 700px; /* prevents the div expanding beyond 700px */
}
It might also be that you're allowing the div's overflowed contents to be visible, as opposed to hidden (or auto). But without specific examples of your mark-up and css it's very difficult to guess.
Generally giving elements layout is pretty straight forward (always assuming you have a good understanding of floating, positioning and the box model), and in most cases you wouldn't have to use max- min-width to control elements on the page.
My two cents: If I was you, I'd start stripping out code (starting with the !important rule), and see when the problem is solved. De-constructing the code like that is a good way to find bugs.
Sorry I couldn't help, but I'm reluctant to give advice since the code you provided shows a lot of other stuff going on elsewhere that might be contributing to your problem (like having to use !important).
:D
I figured out the problem. The file that was calling in the css was conflicting with another external css file that had the same element with the same name in it. Thank you all for your help though.
