I need both divs to have dynamic width.
The gray one has to be centered, while the blue one to float right BUT both be horizontally alingned.
These to are sitting in a wrapper.
The problem is that in order to have varying width I use display:block and this makes the gray div to push the other one down.
How can I manage this without setting a fixed width for the gray div?
EDIT
This is how it should look like. I just put another left floating div.
The red div has to be perfectly centered.
All divs' width must be dynamic.
You can nest the blue div within the grey one and absolutely position it, using left:100% will make it horizontally dock to the right side of the grey div.
Just one of many options.
Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/HnsEx/
Here's a fiddle :)

and css
#parent {
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid red
}
.right {
float: right;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: #888;
}
.left {
overflow: hidden;
height: 100px;
background: #ccc
}

I'm creating a small view on my page where I have a centered 500x650 div with some text in it.
I have a bootstrap div as a container, <div class="container">. Inside that I have my centered 500x650 div, with a CSS like this:
.desc {
position: relative;
margin: 30px 245px 0px;
height: 500px;
width: 650px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px dashed #cbd0d8;
padding: 5px;
}
This looks good. Now, I'm trying to add a small image which is supposed to be right by the left bottom corner of the dashed border. Problem is, I centered it with margin: auto, creating a huge horizontal margin on the sides of the .desc-div, so I can't position my img, which is in a div with position: relative, as the margin pushes it down under the corner.
I could use position: absolute on my image but I'm trying to avoid that as I understand it looks different on different sized monitors, and I want this image to sit pretty exactly in one spot.
How do I solve this?
To place your image exactly into the lower left corner of your .desc DIV, put your image tag inside the .desc DIV and give it the following settings:
img.yourclass {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 40px;
height: 30px;
}
Since your DIV already has position: relative, it will act as the position anchor for the absolutely positioned image, and the bottom and left settings place it in the lower left corner.
The width and height of course depend on the image itself . adjust that as needed.
I want to simply center 2 divs horizontally regardless of the screen width and without using a wrapper. I have the following simple code:
#div1 {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
#div2 {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
I created the following fiddle for illustration:

The reason I don't want to use a wrapper is that I want to make a cross platform website and if I define a width for the wrapper it will break mobile screen.
#setek has the solution above, just wanted to add this quick rule of thumb:
To horizontally center display:inline and display:inline-block items, use text-align:center;.
To horizontally center display:block items, use margin: 0 auto;.
as alluded to by setek, you can define a container for your divs, with a width of 100% so that it scales with the screen/device width. Also set its text align to center to achieve your desired effect.
#container{text-align:center;width:100%;}
here is your updated fiddle
and for slightly modified markup and css - http://jsfiddle.net/axe89/5/
Use css margin properties.
margin-left:40%
to the first div.
You can add
text-align: center;
to the body tag or to whatever you are planning to wrap the divs with.

How come in this example, http://jsfiddle.net/eVdFH/ the divs don't align?
And what do I need to do in order to make them align in the center?
Theoretically for the "navigation" it should be set to center, set width of 600px, then moved left 300px so it is in the center
Why don't they align in the center then?
Should be:
#navigation {
margin-left: -322.5px;
}
Because you have padding: 20px; and border: 2.5px on that element.
First you sould look at the final effect; it's diffcult to describe. It seems perfect, but there is a little problem.
When your cursor moves close to the square's left border in very small steps, the white shadow also trembles a lot.
How can I fix that?
You should add overflow: hidden on the #container div.
The #shadow div is overflowing to the left, expanding the hoverable area from its parent.
#container{
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
}
suppose we have a visible area 300 x 200 pixels
suppose we have an image of any size. It can be bigger or smaller than the visible area.
Question:
1.center the image vertically and horizontally inside the visible area. Crop overflowing parts of the image
1a. vertical centering is unimportant and can be omitted
2.draw the border around the visible part of the image. Note that the border can match either the outer div border or image border
2a.clarification: I want to find the way of (for example) creating the third div whose borders would repeat the borders of the visual part of the image
Cropped or not, in browser has to be seen the border around the visible part of the image
mercator has already done some of the job here as described below:
You can make it work if you wrap
another element around the image:
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner"><img src="" alt="" /></div>
</div>
And the following CSS:
.outer {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
overflow: hidden;
*position: relative;
}
.inner {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
img {
display: block;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
The position: relative on the
'outer is marked with * so it will
only work in IE6/7. You could move it
to a conditional IE stylesheet if
that's what you prefer, or remove the
* altogether. It's needed to avoid
the now relatively positioned children
from overflowing.
I'm not to sure what you mean by your 2d clarification, but I think you can achieve this with the follow markup:
<div class="outer"></div>
and css:
.outer {
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
background: #fff url(/path/to/image.jpg) 50% 50% no-repeat;
}
This will create a div of 300x200px with a 1px red border. It will then position an image in the div centered vertically and horizontally, or default to white the image cannot be found.
The border, you'll need to draw in another fashion. Simple borders can be added using css. More complex borders and shadows are limited in css and only implemented in some browsers, but you can use javascript to help you add a more complex shadow. There are many snippets and jQuery plugins that can help you.
You can center the image in the visible area by giving it margin-left = margin-right = auto.
