I'm going for three columns (I didn't want this originally but it looks best for my project). The right-hand one is insisting on staying below the middle one even while it floats on the right. What should I change?
The whole thing will actually be put inside another div, but that doesn't seem to be relevant. I've simplified the code down to the problematic area:
<style>
.contain {
border:1px solid;
width:639px;
height:500px;
}
.subAreaLeft{
float:left;
position:relative;
width:205px;
border:1px solid;
}
.subAreaMid{
margin: 0 auto;
position:relative;
width:205px;
border:1px solid;
}
.subAreaRight{
width:205px;
position:relative;
float:right;
border:1px solid;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="contain">
<div class="subAreaLeft" id="contactInfo">
ONE
</div>
<div class="subAreaMid">
TWO
</div>
<div class="subAreaRight">
THREE
</div>
</div>
</body>
In order for all three of the divs to float to the left, all three of the divs need float: left in the CSS.
<body>
<div class="contain">
<div class="subAreaLeft" id="contactInfo">
ONE
</div>
<div class="subAreaRight">
THREE
</div>
<div class="subAreaMid">
TWO
</div>
</div>
</body>
you just need to put middle DIV after the THird

The solution is not to modify any CSS. Leave that alone.
Instead, move the subAreaMid div to directly after subAreaRight in the HTML.
<div class="subAreaLeft" id="contactInfo">
ONE
</div>]
<div class="subAreaRight">
THREE
</div>
<div class="subAreaMid">
TWO
</div>
This ensures that the subAreaMid div will not clear, and gives the desired result.

This is what I have done till now.
<div style="overflow:visible;width:1050px;border:1px solid green;height:50px;margin-left:115px">
<div style="border:1px solid red;position:absolute;width:730px;">
<br/><br/><br/>
<div class=''><div class='tagstyle'>FRESHER</div><div class='tagstyle'>IT JOBS</div><div class='tagstyle'>2013</div><div class='tagstyle'>BANGALORE</div></div>

<div>
<div style="border:1px solid blue;height:900px;position:absolute;width:340px;margin-left:735px;">
<!------ right --->

</div>
Problem is, right side div going downward, when left side div has any content.
Aha! Saw your edit now! It's really simple with some css3 table display properties, but that doesn't work in old browsers.
However, you could use some simple css to make a standard blog template with sidebar, header and main content:
<style>
.body-wrapper {
position:absolute;
top:20px;
left:50%;
width:900px;
margin-left:-450px; /* Half the width (negative) */
background:red;
}
.header {
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:100px;
margin-bottom:10px;
background:blue;
}
.main {
float:left;
width:70%;
background:green;
}
.sidebar {
float:right;
width:30%;
background:yellow;
}
</style>
<div class="body-wrapper">
<div class="header">
Header!
</div>
<div class="main">
Content!
</div>
<div class="sidebar">
Sidebar!
</div>
</div>
Here is a jsFiddle as proof: http://jsfiddle.net/Kepk9/

Another answer!
If you just would like to position divs after each other, you could set them to display:inline-block, like this:
<style>
.inline {
display:inline-block;
}
</style>
<div class="inline">
Labalodado
<br/>multiline content
</div>
<div class="inline">
Less content
</div>
<div class="inline">
Another div
<br/>with
<br/>multiline content
</div>
The reason why your code doesn't work is really simple actually. I made some other answers first because I think that they are a better approach.
position:absolute doesn't automatically move the item to {0,0}
You have to set top:0px by yourself.
Oh.. and there are some mistakes in your code too, but just go with one of my other too answers and you'll be fine :)
I have got the following code working fine on FF. As you can guess, I want the following two divs stays on one line without breaking when browser resize.
<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; ">
</div>
<div style="overflow: hidden;">
</div>
But as per usual, when I tested the page with IE 9, the right div was already below the left one.
Can someone pls help me out here, thanks,
Either add "float:right" in your second div or
add "width:XXpx" into your first div.
Wrap it with another div
<div>
<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; ">
</div>
<div style="float:right; overflow: hidden;">
</div>
</div>
you also float the other div
<div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; ">
</div>
<div style="float:right; overflow: hidden;">
</div>
==========================================================>>>
UPDATE
HTML
<div class="marginRight"></div>
<div></div>
CSS
div {
float:left;
border:1px solid red;
width:45%;
height:100px;
}
.marginRight {margin-right: 10px;}
WORKING DEMO
it is working fine
if you want more configuring
<div style="display:table-row;">
<div style="width:49%; margin-right:2%; height:100px; float:left; display:table-cell;"> any thing you wanted </div>
<div style="width:49%; height:100px; float:left; display:table-cell;"> any thing you wanted </div>
</div>
Use a container div and set the two divs to either % of total width or total px of the page.
#containerdiv {
width:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#leftdiv {
width:20%;
overflow:hidden;
float:left;
#rightdiv {
width:80%;
overflow:hidden;
float:left;
}
<div id="containerdiv">
<div id="leftdiv"> TEST </div>
<div id="rightdiv"> TEST </div>
</div>
Remember if you use margins and paddings you will need to adjust the percentages or pixels for it to line up next.
For example. If you add padding 1% to left div, it will push the right div down to second line since you are now at a total of 101% of the container divs width.
I have a wrapper. Inside that wrapper I have 3 divs. I would like #contentOne standing above #contentTwo and contentThree standing on the right side of those two. I am sure someone can help. Thank you in advance for your replies. Cheers. Marc. (This positioning thing is killing me....)

My HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="contentOne" class="content">contentOne</div>
<div id="contentTwo" class="content">contentTwo</div>
<div id="contentThree" class="content">contentThree</div>
</div>
My CSS:
#wrapper{

float:left;
height:auto;
border:2px solid blue;}
.content{
border:1px solid black;
background-color:yellow;
width:200px;
height:100px;}
#contentThree{
height:130px;}
Can you put them in floated column wrappers?
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="column1" class="column">
<div id="contentOne" class="content">contentOne</div>
<div id="contentTwo" class="content">contentTwo</div>
</div>
<div id="column2" class="column">
<div id="contentThree" class="content">contentThree</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.column {
float: left;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/xbcxs/
That's how I would've done it. Notice the position:relative on the wrapper div and position:absolute; right:0; on the third div.

HTML is lacking in providing functions for vertical positioning. They are getting better with newer display values, but you need to limit your audience to only modern browsers. Barring that you need to change the order of the HTML to get the vertical position you want. In this case if you put the 3rd section at the top and gave it a float:right you get what you are after.

Why not use a table for layout?

try this:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="contentThree" class="content">contentThree</div>
<div id="contentOne" class="content">contentOne</div>
<div id="contentTwo" class="content">contentTwo</div>
</div>
#wrapper{
width:430px;
float:left;
height:auto;
border:2px solid blue;}
.content{
border:1px solid black;
background-color:yellow;
width:200px;
height:100px;}
#contentThree{
height:130px;
float: right;
}
Can someone please help me with this problem as i have been dealing with it for a long time now....
I am trying to get 3 divs on the same line next to each other one of the divs looks like this:
<div>
<h2 align="center">San Andreas: Multiplayer</h2>
<div align="center">
<font size="+1">
<em class="heading_description">15 pence per slot</em>
</font>
<img src="http://fhers.com/images/game_servers/sa-mp.jpg" class="alignleft noTopMargin" style="width: 188px; ">
<a href="gfh" class="order-small">
<span>order</span></a>
</div>
and the other two are the same divs please help me get all three divs on the same line one on the right one on the mid and one on the left
I'm surprised that nobody gave CSS table layout as a solution:
.Row {
display: table;
width: 100%; /*Optional*/
table-layout: fixed; /*Optional*/
border-spacing: 10px; /*Optional*/
}
.Column {
display: table-cell;
background-color: red; /*Optional*/
}
<div class="Row">
<div class="Column">C1</div>
<div class="Column">C2</div>
<div class="Column">C3</div>
</div>
Works in IE8+
Check out a JSFiddle Demo
See my code
.float-left {
float:left;
width:300px; // or 33% for equal width independent of parent width
}
<div>
<h2 align="center">San Andreas: Multiplayer</h2>
<div align="center" class="float-left">CONTENT OF COLUMN ONE GOES HERE</div>
<div align="center" class="float-left">CONTENT OF COLUMN TWO GOES HERE</div>
<div align="center" class="float-left">CONTENT OF COLUMN THREE GOES HERE</div>
</div>
I'm not sure how I ended up on this post but since most of the answers are using floats, absolute positioning, and other options which aren't optimal now a days, I figured I'd give a new answer that's more up to date on it's standards (float isn't really kosher anymore).
.parent {
display: flex;
flex-direction:row;
}
.column {
flex: 1 1 0px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="column">Column 1</div>
<div class="column">Column 2<br>Column 2<br>Column 2<br>Column 2<br></div>
<div class="column">Column 3</div>
</div>
here are two samples: http://jsfiddle.net/H5q5h/1/
one uses float:left and a wrapper with overflow:hidden. the wrapper ensures the sibling of the wrapper starts below the wrapper.
the 2nd one uses the more recent display:inline-block and wrapper can be disregarded. but this is not generally supported by older browsers so tread lightly on this one. also, any white space between the items will cause an unnecessary "margin-like" white space on the left and right of the item divs.
Old topic but maybe someone will like it.

2019 answer:
Using CSS grid:
.parent {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr 1fr;
grid-template-rows: 1fr;
}
Just add float left property on all the divs you want to make appear in a row other than last one. here is example
<div>
<div style="float: left;">A</div>
<div style="float: left;">B</div>
<div>C</div>
</div>
This is easier and gives purpose to the never used unordered/ordered list tags.
In your CSS add:
li{float: left;} //Sets float left property globally for all li tags.
Then add in your HTML:
<ul>
<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
</ul>
Now watch it all line up perfectly! No more arguing over tables vs divs!
Check out the foundation rapid prototyping framework they handled this quite nicely, basically they allow you to use HTML like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="four columns">
</div>
<div class="four columns">
</div>
<div class="four columns">
</div>
</div>
This is the simplest HTML/CSS grid system that I've come across, it's based on 12 column grid.
Basically the columns are given a % width and left margin relative to the parent row. They columns have float set to left, position set to relative, and display set to block.
The row has several properties set on it that care core of an issue that normally causes the containing div to collapse to height of 0 preventing the following divs from getting 'pushed' down as they should.
You can find examples of using the foundation grid system here: http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/grid.php
If you don't want to use the entire framework the following CSS should do the trick with the example code I provided:
.row:after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
.four.column {
float: left;
width: 33%;
}
If you really specifically want a left center and right columns then use code like this:
CSS:
.row:after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: table;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 100px;
}
.center {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 100px;
}
.right {
float: right;
width: 100px;
}
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="left">left</div>
<div class="right">right</div>
<div class="center">center</div>
</div>
Put the divisions in 'td' tag. That's it done.
Another possible solution:
<div>
<h2 align="center">
San Andreas: Multiplayer
</h2>
<div align="center">
<font size="+1"><em class="heading_description">15 pence per
slot</em></font> <img src=
"http://fhers.com/images/game_servers/sa-mp.jpg" class=
"alignleft noTopMargin" style="width: 188px;" /> <a href="gfh"
class="order-small"><span>order</span></a>
</div>
</div>

Why don't try to use bootstrap's solutions. They are perfect if you don't want to meddle with tables and floats.
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <!--- This line is just linking the bootstrap thingie in the file. The real thing starts below -->
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4">
One of three columns
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
One of three columns
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
One of three columns
</div>
</div>
</div>
No meddling with complex CSS, and the best thing is that you can edit the width of the columns by changing the number. You can find more examples at https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/
I have div with position absolute and I want to put another div under.
The two divs have diffrent widths.
The div above is with position absolute and is centered. The div that should be at the bottom has 100% width.
How to make that?
Thanks!
make one div that contains both
use float:right
example:
div#p8015buttons {
position:absolute;
bottom:0.5em;
right:0.5em;
width:90px;
}
div.p8015 {
float:right;
margin:1px;
}
Wrap both DIVs in a third one and position that one absolute instead of the original one.
Not tested, but this should do it.
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="one">
Content
</div>
<div class="two">
More content
</div>
</div>
And the CSS:
.wrapper
{
position:absolute;
width: 500px;
height: 400px;/*whatever you want*/
}
.one,
.two
{
position:relative; /*or static*/
}
Hope it helps :)
Tested
HTML MARKUP
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left-ontent>
</div>
<div class="right-ontent>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.wrapper{width:980px;margin:0 auto;position:absolute;}
.left-content{float:left;width:630px;}
.right-content{float:right;width:320px;}
Try this one, you can then move style to your css
<div style="width:500px; margin: auto; height:200px; background-color:black;">
</div>
<div style="width:100%; height:200px; background-color:green;">
</div>
