As the parent-parent node of pink div, the blue div included the css style overflow:hidden, which is essential in my project for other parts of content.
But now I have to show the pink square across the border, it seems a part of it was overlapped because of it parent's overflow:hidden. What should I do if I want to make it?
Thanks!
This is not possible. If you declare overflow:hidden on an element, all child elements have to obey this rule.
What you can do is to move the box out and position it accordingly:
<div class="paper">
<div class="container">
</div>
<div class="box">
</div>
</div>
Remove to you parent class .papaer overflow:hidden and
add this css
.paper:after{
content:'';
overflow:hidden;
display:table;
}

I still have problem to well understand how the float property works in CSS. I do apologize because I know this is css basics but I really want to understand that and get a good explanation. I've created an example to show you.
Here is my page :
I just want to resize the second div at the right. When I look at it in the Chrome Developer Tools, I see that this div begins at the top left of the window and not after the red square. I'd like it to begins just after the red square to change the width properly without calculating the size of the square and doing something like
width = square size + width i want
Do you know how this it happens and how to properly resize the width of the second div ?
EDIT: the solution consists in add the float property to the second div too. The explanation is the following : floated elements are removed from the flow, so they don't stack with the non-floated elements.
You need to set float for another div too.
We generally do like below:
html
<div class="float-left">
<p>floated left</p>
</div>
<div class="float-left"><!--- to float next to previous div--->
<p>floated left</p>
</div>
css
.float-left{
float: left;
}
As per your comment:
We do clear the float values because the container contents would never been collapsed.
You need to float the second div.
Heres an example.
<div class="parent-div">
<div class="left">
</div>
<div class="left">
<p>This is the description of the image</p>
</div>
</div>
You need to set
p { display:inline; }
or
div { display:inline; }
since paragraphs and divs are block elements.
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#block-boxes
the reason is that floated elements are removed from the flow, so they don't stack with the non-floated elements. - therefore they don't "take up space" like before. This is why your text div starts at the top left of its container.
from MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/float
The float CSS property specifies that an element should be taken from the normal flow and placed along the left or right side of its container, where text and inline elements will wrap around it. A floating element is one where the computed value of float is not none.
You have to set float for both DIVs
Here is the updated code:
HTML:
<div id="main_container">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right">
<p>This is the description of the image <i>Random text</i>
</p>
</div>
<!--Comment below <DIV> to see the result-->
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
CSS
#main_container {
border:5px solid #000;
}
.left, .right {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
float:left;
}
.right {
background: blue;
width: calc(100% - 100px);
}
.clear {
clear:both;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
Also, just to add one more important fact related to "float" is, make sure you add "clear:both" property after "float".
Why?? Because, a common problem with float-based layouts is that the floats' container doesn't want to stretch up to accomodate the floats. If you want to add, say, a border around all floats (ie. a border around the container) you'll have to command the browsers somehow to stretch up the container all the way.
Here is the Fiddle for the same: http://jsfiddle.net/1867ud9p/7/
Hope this will help!
Once assigning overflow with a value other than visible, all its child elements will be clipped. It is the purpose of the overflow property. However, I have to make one of the child elements to be 'floated' and not clipped (like a popup) -- just one of them; not all. Is it possible?
Take the following as an example. Is there any CSS setting that does not clip the yellow div, while clipping the blue element? (Currently they are both clipped)
<div style="position:absolute;width:100px;height:50px;overflow:hidden;border:1px solid black">
<div style="top:30px;width:50px;height:100px;background:yellow">
</div>
<div style="position:absolute;left:50px;top:0;width:50px;height:100px;background:blue">
</div>
</div>
The code can be also found at http://jsfiddle.net/kZBxD/
Do you need something like this:
check this fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/kZBxD/3/
<div style="position:absolute;width:100px;height:50px;overflow:hidden;border:1px solid black">
<div style=" position:fixed;width:50px;height:100px;background:yellow"></div>
try the below fiddle: the yellow div is floating outside and blue div is inside as per you need.

I'm getting some strange whitespace between two divs I have.
Each div has the css property display: inline-block and each have a set height and width.
I cannot find where the whitespace is.
Here is a Fiddle
You get whitespace there because you have whitespace inbetween the divs. Whitespace between inline elements is interpreted as a space.
You have:
<div id="left_side">
<div id="plan">
<h1>div 1</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div id="right_side">
<div id="news">
<h1>div 2</h1>
</div>
</div>
Change for:
<div id="left_side">
<div id="plan">
<h1>div 1</h1>
</div>
</div><div id="right_side">
<div id="news">
<h1>div 2</h1>
</div>
</div>
However, this is a bad way to do what you want to do.
You should float the elements if thats what you want to do.
Use:
float:left;
clear:none;
In both div
If you want to retain your coding layout, avoid floats and keep each div on it's own line entirely...
<div id="leftSide">Some content here</div><!--
--><div id="rightSide">Some more content here</div>
Only add this to your CSS
h1 {
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
Space between div is only due to h1 Margin and Padding
This does the trick:
<div id="left_side">
...
</div><div id="right_side">
...
</div>
Notice how the right-side div starts immediately after the closing tag of the left-side div. This works because any space between the elements, since they are now inline, would become a space in the layout itself. You can mirror this behavior with two span elements.
Demo.
You can also add display: flex; to the divs' parent container (in this case, body). Fiddle.
best way is settings parent element's font-size to 0 then normal font-size to child elements inside that parent (otherwise inherits zero from parent)
Floated both of the elements left, also made the 30% width into 40% to fill all the space, but this isn't necessary. Please be aware, "inline-block" isn't supported by IE7 but can be fixed with a workaround.
http://jsfiddle.net/RVAQp/3/
Move these statements onto the same line:
</div><div id="right_side">
Tried using float instead of "inline-block", no problems. Just changed the display:inline-block to:
#left_side {float: left;}
and
#right_side {float: right; margin-right: 10%}
No apparent problems. Could be wrong.
Don't know why but I resolved this problem by adding border: 1px solid red;(vertical) and float: left;(horizontal) to related DIV style statement and white-spaces removed.
Parent div set to font-size: 0px and chiilds to wanted size like 17px :)
This is the current setup:
<div id="youtubelatestnews">
<div class="box youtubebox">
</div>
<div class="latestnews">
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
But the problem is the container <div> which is "youtubelatestnews" has too much space at the bottom.
Here's the site: http://voila.easywebprojects.com/
The <div>s I'm referring to are the sneak peek & Latest News portion.
The reason for the extra space is the clear div, which will clear below the elements on the left also.
You can remove the clear div, and use overflow: hidden; on the #youtubelatestnews div. As you don't have a height specified for it, the overflow style will only make the element contain its children.
Try to add float:left; style to youtubelatestnews div, it worked for me ;-)
The margin-bottom on .box-product > div plus the margin-bottom on .box are combining.
The extra space can be caused by the default height of clear item sometimes,
Try to add height:0px for the clear .

In this example http://jsbin.com/inoka4 no width is defined for parent element
if i want to wrap red boxes in container border.
then we can make this in 5 ways
to giving float also to <div class="container">
overflow:hidden or overflow:auto
any clearfix hack to <div class="container clearfix">
Giving height to <div class="container">
adding one more html element (for example another div or <br >) after 2
boxes in <div class="container"> enter code hereand give
clear:leftor:bothor:right` to that
element
my question is any other option except float do not make any changes in <div class="container"> and inner boxes width. but if we use float:left or right to parent box then it's shrink the whole box and inner-boxes as well.
Why?
example link: http://jsbin.com/inoka4
Edit: My question is not about which method i should use, the question is why Float shrink the width
I think the better option is to use overflow:hidden. It is a simple one line change and it works.
div#container {
...
overflow: hidden;
}
Adding extra divs for clear fix requires changes in html for something that is really css. Alternatively, when using clear fix by doing hacks like...
div:after {
content:....
...
}
your css just gets bigger and messier. But it still is a good option (especially when you need to have things that overflow the box)
Reference:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/css-fudamentals-containing-children/
If you dont' use float on the container it's width is set to 100%. If you add a floating, it only takes the space it needs. In this case the width is calculated by the two divs inside.
To wrap the red boxes in the container border there is not other option except adding float to the container. The only other option would be to absolutely position all the elements but in this case you have to know the width and height of all elements in advance. So that really isn't an option.
So my advice is to use float on the container and add a clear: both on the element after the container.
Your best bet is to always clear your floats. Just after you close the div with class .right, and just before you close the div with class .container, add a new div like this:
<div class="clear"></div>
.clear is just {clear:both;} in your stylesheet. That's what I use all day long, and works like a treat.
The final markup would be:
<div class="container">
<div class="left"> ... </div>
<div class="right"> ... </div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
Edit: Just like your last example, apparently. :)
