Stacking divs next to each other/horizontally - css

My divs do not stack up next to each other
What do I do?
One div comes below the other.
I tried all types of positioning and even relative but it doesn't work.

Try this
div.content
{
margin:0 0 0 160px;
}
It may also be useful to wrap a div around menu and content with a spacific width and then make sure menu and content added together with margins and padding are that width.
div.wrap { width 800px}
div.content {width:640px}

Use the display property in your div, and all divs with this will stack horizontally.
display: inline-block

Use display:inline-block within the CSS definition, that should stack them horizontally for you.

div.content
{
width:calc(100% - 160px);
float:right;
}
This should work
This will keep the div with class menu to the left and the content div in the right

Fiddle
div.menu
{
background-color:#4A5662;
height:210px;
border-radius:8px;
margin-top:20px;
margin-left:5px;
text-align:center;
padding-top:10px;
padding-bottom:10px
}
div.menu a{
display:inline-block;
}
and remove <br/> tag after every anchor

Its easy just do
div.content
{
/*float:right;*/
}
if you want to make it float:right just give it width, check my fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/GafgA/1/

Remove float: right and add a margin - http://jsfiddle.net/xEGRg/
div.content {
margin-left: 230px;
}

I don't know if the title is describing it correctly but anyway;

Well i am sorry i am not sure why its happens but the solution is using vertical-align: top

vertical-align: top;

Having trouble with 0 height div, but no floats. What can I do?

http://www.walkerspencer.com/chrhsweb/max
So I'm currently working on a high school project, and I'm completely stumped. One of my divs, article, isn't behaving how I'd like it to. It has a height of 0. Now, after a lot of googling and research, it seemed like this was a common issue... for containers which contained floating elements. My article contains no floating divs. I even tried removing float from the css for my #buttons div, and it had no effect. I've also tried most of the suggested float fixes: the clearfix method, clear:both. At this point, I just need an outside opinion. I couldn't find any major errors in my code (besides a general disorganization and misuse of semantic elements). The intended behavior is that sections scale while maintaining a 16:9 ratio as the browser resizes, and have a black transparent background that fills the entire article. I could also apply the background to article, but article doesn't have a height either. If you'd just like to critique my bad code habits and formatting, that's alright too :). The images' absences shouldn't be important, though they are in a 16:9 ratio, and I had this problem before adding any jquery. Thank you so much. Sorry if there's an issue with my post or how I've asked it, it's my first time asking a question on here.

If you're keeping the slideshow plugin, and it is what's causing the absolutely positioned children (you're not doing it,) then your only option is to force the height of the article element, if you want to use it for something.
You can either apply a class/ID to it (if you're using other article elements that have nothing to do with this style, and you only use it once per page, then use an ID, or if you want to re-use it somewhere else on the same page, use a class.) So you would have something like:
article.slideshow-container { height: 498px; }
And you can then use it for whatever you want. This is a fixed-height though, so if image height changes, you lose out again.
The problem is definitely with your implementation of the jQuery Cycle Plugin. As setek has mentioned, the slideshow makes your section divs position absolute, which collapses the height of the article element to 0. You can add the following to your cycle script to dynamically adjust the height for each slide/section:
before : function(currSlideElement, nextSlideElement){
$('article').css('height', $(nextSlideElement).height()+'px');
},
You should also clean up your code (it is a bit of a mess) and try to take things step by step. I have created a working example for you here:
http://jsfiddle.net/BCyD8/
You will have to work a bit to get the spacing right.

CSS text-align property

I have the following HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<style type="text/css">
.name {
font-size: 18px;
margin-top: 1px;
text-align: right;
}
.contactInfo {
font-size: 12px;
margin-top: 1px;
text-align: left;
}
</style>
<TITLE>Joe Sixpack</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<div id="name">
<span class="name">Joe Sixpack</span>
</div>
<div id="contactInfo">
<span class="contactInfo">
123 Electric Ave, Mudflap, NS 12345 • (888) 555-1212 • Joe#Sixpack.com
</span>
</div>
<HR>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The problem is that I would like the name class to be aligned to the right but it is not happening. Both the name and the address are on the left. Why is that and how do I fix it?
Set the style on the name div, not the name span:
#name {
font-size:18px;
margin-top:1px;
text-align:right;
}
Also, you might not want to have divs and spans with the same name.
You can align text only inside block-level elements. Rewrite you CSS to be like that:
#name {
font-size:18px;
margin-top:1px;
text-align:right;
}
#contactInfo {
font-size:12px;
margin-top:1px;
text-align:left;
}

CSS: div positions dislocated

On my computer I have it perfectly looking, it is a 17"
I went to see my web under development on www.hrcprojectconsulting.com on another computer, an old screen of 1080 x 600 i think
and the right panel has dislocated itself from its position and taken the middle container
I conceived it as One main container that wraps, a left container, a center container and a right container. I positioned the main container centered with margin: 0 auto; and it all looked good. Then I had to had the banner, the blue stripe that you will see:
This is my blueprint for all pages:
<link rel="stylesheet" href= "<?php echo base_url() ?>css/style.css" />
<script type ="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url()?>js/1.8.js"></script>
<div id = "contenedor_principal">
main wrapper
<div id = "left_container">
content for left panel
</div>
<div id="container-center"><!-- 1 -->
content for the center panel
</div> <!-- end of container center 1 -->
<div id = "right_container">
and for the right panel
</div>
</div>
and this is the header:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<link rel="stylesheet" href= "<?php echo base_url() ?>css/main_style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href= "<?php echo base_url() ?>css/webform.css" />
<script type ="text/javascript" src="<?php echo base_url()?>js/1.8.js"></script>
</head>
<div id="header" class = "header"><h1 class="header">Real Estate Worldwide</h1>
<body>
And this is the CSS:
#contenedor_principal
{
background:orange;
width:1040px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div.panel,p.flip
{
margin:0px;
padding:5px;
text-align:center;
background:#FFFFFF;
}
#container-center{
width:635px; /*** Set to = center col width ***/
height:500px;
font-size:8px;
display:inline;
position:absolute;
left:485px;
top:80px;
/* \*/
margin-left:-1px;
/* Hidden from IE-mac */
}
#left_container{
width:200px; /*** Set to = center col width ***/
height:500px;
float:right;
margin-right:0px;
font-size:8px;
display:inline;

top:80px;

margin-left:-1px;

}
#right_container{

height:600px;
float:right;
font-size:8px;
display:inline;
position:absolute;

background:url('../assets/uploads/miweb/bg_body.png');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
top:80px;
/* \*/
margin-left:-1px;
/* Hidden from IE-mac */
}
#header {
float:inherit;
background: url("../jq185/css/start/images/ui-bg_gloss-wave_75_2191c0_500x100.png") repeat-x scroll 50% 50% #2191C0;
font-family: 'trebuchet ms',geneva,arial,tahoma,sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 2px;
padding: 0;
width: 1050px;
height:75px;
h2 {color:#ffffff;}
}
Than can anyway be seen live on my web like I said. I am using 1660 x 900 and 17" but it should be viewable on any resolution and screen.
Any clue as to why it went all upside down?
thank you
The layout you are using is wrong. no need to use position: absolute for every div and then set the top and left.
Instead of that follow the below structure.
HTML
<html>
<head>
<title>Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content">
<div id="left_content"></div>
<div id="middle_content"></div>
<div id="right_content"></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>​
CSS
#container {
width:960px;
margin:0 auto;
}
#header {
background: blue;
height:50px;
margin-bottom:20px;
}
#left_content {
float: left;
width:150px;
background: red;
min-height: 600px;
margin-right:20px;
}
#middle_content {
float: left;
width:620px;
background: green;
min-height: 600px;
margin-right:20px;
}
#right_content {
float: right;
width:150px;
background: red;
min-height: 600px;
}​

Hope this will help you.
Well, in your css, you clearly coded everything in order it comes correctly only on your screen.
In particular what is going wrong is your #right_container in which you say float:right and than right:260px.
A quick (but bad) solution to your css would be to put float:left instead of float:right and define the number of pixels from the left left:1190px (1190 is approximate)
A better solution would be learn properly css and play with it afterwards!

Why does the background of my container/wrapper not extend behind all content

To fix your problem you just need to add overflow: auto to #wrapper.
#wrapper {
background-color:#FFF;
padding:3%;
-webkit-border-radius: 25px;
-moz-border-radius: 25px;
border-radius: 25px;
display:block;
margin:auto;
width:60%;
margin-top:2%;
overflow: auto; /* add this line */
}
However, another issue is that you are using HTML5 elements and the HTML5 shiv but you have not used the HTML5 doctype:
<!DOCTYPE html>
I assume you are having problems in IE? You are missing a doctype declaration. If you add a transitional doctype as per the example on W3Schools below it should work.
HTML doctype declaration
Basically the css-property 'float' on the section#year is the bad guy here.
If I replace your sections with div's and add an extra div to clear block rendering it works:
