I am trying to create something like a gallery that shows different number of images per row based on the width of the browser. This has already been achieved using overflow: hidden in the outer div and float: left in the inner div.
However, what happens with this is that my images are always aligned to the left, leaving alot of whitespace on the right. How do I make it such that the gallery is always centered in the screen no matter how many images there are per row.
My code is on http://codepen.io/anon/pen/KzqAs
Thank you very much. :)
How about this: http://codepen.io/anon/full/mtBbF
HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="red box">red</div>
<div class="blue box">blue</div>
<div class="black box">black</div>
</div>
CSS
body{
text-align:center; /*You would need to define this in a parent of .container*/
}
.container{
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
}
.box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
float: left;
}
Demonstration
You need to use an id(or class) on the main div. Set width: 300+px and margin: auto
Also your boxes should be with display: inline-block to allow them to begave "inline"
I have changed colors of the boxes a bit for better visibility.

Just wondering how to style a header like the attached image. Was thinking of using two divs, the left for the text and the right for the horizontal repeating image. Problem is I need the right div's width to change with respect to different header lengths.
Any help would be appreciated!
header image
You can do that in simple;
.header{
width:100%;
height:20px;
background:url('http://jsfiddle.net/favicon.png') repeat;
}
.header span{
background-color:#FFF;
display:inline-block;
height: 20px;
}
<div class="header"><span class="title">Header Text</span></div>
You can include this in various pages and the title space re-size accordingly.
Here is a working Live Demo
Use left and right DIVs with respective width and then to the right div use text-align: right; property so that the content loaded in right div will remain to right and increase to left depending on the size of content
<div class="header">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
</div>
.header{overflow: hidden;} //Considering width: 1000px;
.left{float: left; width: 100px;}
.right{float: right; width: 900px; text-align: right;}
you could do it with just a <h1> tag for semantic reasons, and ad a background-image to it.
With padding-right you now can control the amount of how many times it should repeat itself and filling up the needed space.
This is my relevant page markup:
<div id="header">
<div id="logo">
Home
</div>
<div id="user_box">
test
</div>
</div>
And my relevant CSS:
#header {
width: 960px;
height: 110px;
}
#logo {
background: url('/assets/img/logo.png') no-repeat center;
width: 300px;
height: 110px;
float: left;
}
#user_box {
width: 300px;
height: 60px;
float: right;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Now, I want to position the user_box div in the vertical middle of the header div. After a lot of Google'ing and experimenting, I have learned that this isn't easy. Apparently, I can't vertical align a block element such as a div. So I'm looking for a different way to do this.
I saw the hacky display: table; method and tried using it, but it didn't change a thing. Also tried changing the element to an inline element like a span, but that didn't work either. I even tried using margin: auto 0; for some god awful reason, and that also didn't work at all.
So I'm asking for help. How do I vertically align this div inside my header div?
Thanks!
Set the line-height of user_box equal to the height of header
Working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/AlienWebguy/pyppD/
vertical align doesn't work with divs its for aligning elements in tables. In your case you could just use this
#user_box { margin-top:25px; } /*110-60 = 50/2 = 25*/
So I fiddled around with your code a little bit, and here's what I got: http://jsfiddle.net/3k8XE/
As you can see I'm using a table as the header, and applying the same id to each element, except the two inner divs have changed to td's. I've added an inner td to compensate the space between the two divs since they were originally set to float:left/right.
(Of course the borders are just to show what's actually going on here.)
I'm looking to create a header like:
<div id="header>
<span class="left></span>
<span class="center"></span>
<span class="right></span>
</div>
So have a header that's all inline. the left to all the way to the left, the right is all the way to the right, and the center is in the center of the header.
The challenge is #header is fluid. Any CSS suggestions. right now the best way I can think to get this done is with a table with 3 rows.
Thanks
Try this:

If you adjust the spacer bar in the middle of the page, you will see that all of your "columns" stay appropriately aligned.
The key is that all of the columns' widths add up to 100% and you float them all to the left (or right, it doesn't really matter). When your widths are percentage-based, they will adjust appropriately as the parent changes size.
If you only care about the text being right/center/left (and not images, etc), you could also make all of the columns 100% width and absolutely positioned, and then just use text-alignment:
http://jsfiddle.net/h7qB8/
Is there a reason that floating the left and right spans won't work for you?
Can you re-order the HTML to be left/right/center (or right/left/center)? If so, float the columns and use margins or borders on the center to hold it off the side bars.
This would be a good start:
<div id="header" style="position:relative;width:100%;">
<div class="left" style="position:relative;width:200px;float:left;"></div>
<div class="center" style="position:relative;float:left;text-align:center;"></div>
<div class="right" style="position:relative;width:100px;float:right;"></div>
</div>
This will center everything in the middle div and keep the other 2 divs to the side. Make sure the element containing the header div is set to position:relative;width:100%; as well.
You can also use display: inline-block on the inner elements, on the outer container do a text align center, and then on .left float: left; .right float: right. This would allow you to set a width on the spans, but keep them evenly spaced from the center. See:
#header {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
.left, .center, .right {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
border: 1px solid green;
}
.center {
text-align: center;
}
.left {
float: left;
}
.right {
float: right;
}
You don't mention it in your question but have it in your tag - if you're able to use CSS3 then the possibilities open up more. You can use the flex box layout: http://www.the-haystack.com/2010/01/23/css3-flexbox-part-1/ or css3 columns: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS3_Columns
My problem is best outlined with this schematic/image which outlines how I want it to look:
!
I have a background image and 2 divs for text over the top of it (headline, and intro-text). I also have 2 divs on either side of the headline - these are for the white horizontal stripes.
My issue is that the headline is changeable in a CMS, and I want the horizontal white stripes to automatically fill up the space to the left and to the right of it, regardless of the headline's width.
I can't figure out how to make those 2 horizontal white stripes resize automatically.
Here's my HTML:
<div id="masthead">
<div id="headline-container">
<div id="left-stripe"> </div><div id="headline">{headline}</div><div id="right-stripe"> </div>
</div>
<div class="clear-both"> </div>
<div id="intro-text">{intro_text}</div>
</div>
And here's my CSS - ignore the widths specified for the left-stripe and right-stripe - they're just placeholders:
#masthead {
height: 260px;
}
div#headline-container {
width:960px;
padding:none;
}
div#left-stripe{
float: left;
background-color:#fff;
height: 3px;
width:500px;
display: inline;
}
div#right-stripe{
float: right;
background-color:#fff;
height: 3px;
width:100px;
display: inline;
}
div#headline {
text-align:right;
color: #fff;
font-size: 200%;
float: left;
display: inline;
}
div#intro-text {
text-align: left;
float: right;
width: 300px;
color: #fff;
}
Ideas? Please let me know if I can provide more detail.
I'm a bit too busy to actually test this, but this might give you some direction. i'm not sure the exact effect you're trying to achieve (see comment about finding a live demo someone made).
Regardless, this kind of fluid layout is a bit difficult to achieve reliably with straight CSS. To make it easier I would suggest making the right-stripe a static width.
This CSS solution MIGHT work... no promises.
markup
<div class="container">
<div class="headline-container">
<div class="left-stripe"></div>
<div class="headline">Headline goes here</div>
<div class="right-stripe></div>
</div>
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
CSS
//static width for right stripe
.right-stripe { width: 20px; }
.headline { width: auto; }
.left-stripe { width: auto; }
Using javascript would make it really easy though... here's how i would do it with jQuery. Again, I would make the right-stripe a static width to achieve this effect.
(same markup...)
..
js
var totalWidth = $("#container").width();
var leftWidth = totalWidth - ($("headline").width() + $("right-stripe").width());
$("left-stripe").width(leftWidth);
You can do this dynamically, with jQuery, for example. You take the full width of the 3 div's, drop the size of the inner div and assign dynamically the widths of the 2 outer div's in which the bar should repeat horizontally.
Basically, you will need:
$("#whole-div").width() - $("#inner-div").width() for the outer div's total width. Then, depending on your positioning of the inner-div, you assign values for the outer div's.
For example: whole div has 1000px, inner div has 200px and inner div is positioned 600px left. You will then assign 600px to the left div ($("#whole-div").width() - $("#inner-div").css('left')) and 200px for the right div ($("#whole-div").width() - $("#inner-div").css('left') - $("#inner-div").width()). Of course, you will then set a background-repeat property on the outer div so that the image repeats.
Hope that helps!
UPDATE CSS only fluid solution: http://jsfiddle.net/SebastianPataneMasuelli/XnvYw/1/
it uses the same background image twice, on #masthead and on #headline-container. except ton headline container the background is offset to match its left position relative to its parent element. then we only need one div.line behind it, which gets covered by the background image under the headline and copy, giving the illusion of a seamless image.
do you mean like this?: http://jsfiddle.net/SebastianPataneMasuelli/XnvYw/
Yo. There's a tendency in placing divs to follow each other vertically, but what i'm trying to accomplish right now is to is basically to place a number of divs (two) inside a parent div like so:
<div id='parent'><div id='onediv'></div> <div id='anotherone'></div> </div>
And i'd like to place 'anotherone' just to the right of 'onediv'. Sadly, float:right is pretty much ruining the layout with the divs popping out of their parent divs and whatnot. Any suggestions are welcome.
Edit: It might be worth noting that the parent div and 'anotherone' has no height elements at all, with 'onediv' planned to be thought as the "height support" div, allowing the contents of 'anotherone' to make the parent div larger at will.
Edit again: Here's the CSS for the specified stuff:
.parent
{
width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
border:solid black 1px;
}
.firstchild
{
width: 20%;
margin: 5px;
border: solid black 1px;
height: 180px;
}
.secondchild
{
width: 60%;
border:solid black 1px;
margin: 5px;
}
You can float both inner divs and give the outer div an overflow so that it grows with the inner divs.
Example:
#parent {
overflow: hidden;
}
#parent div {
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
Try this:
<div id="parent">
<div id="onediv" style="float:left;"></div>
<div id="anotherone" style="float:left;"></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
I think this is what you want (note the re-ordering of DOM elements):
<div id="parent">
<div id="anotherone"></div>
<div id="onediv"></div>
</div>
/*CSS*/
#anotherone{
float:right;
width:50%;
}
#onediv{
float:left;
width:50%;
}
Note, if this is what you want, IE6 will still mess it up. ;-)
You certainly need to specify a width as indicated in #Kevin's answer to get the layout you described, simply specifying float left/right will not have the desired effect. Try specifying the width in pixels rather than a percentage. Failing that or if that's not appropriate for you, I think you possibly need to specify the width of the outer div (through css if you like).
#onediv { float: left; width: 50%; } #anotherone { float: right; width: 50%; }
Just use the <span> tag. Its the equivalent of except it doesn't start a new row.
