I'm trying to make a table that looks like this:
But I'm not quite sure how to go about doing that.
The end result is supposed to look like this:
I was planning on having making a div, and then setting the background of the div to be the grey textured part, and then creating a table inside that div to organize the content. Is using a table in this situation correct? Or is there a better method? Thanks in advance.
Stick to a non-table markup. Best practices today would suggest you should only use tables for tabular data, and this content is not tabular data.
There's several different methods you could use to get this going, including using floats, displaying inline-block, and others. There's also considerations with the content wrapping around the images (if the content is long, for example).
But here's some sample code to get your rolling.
Styles:
div.left,
div.right {
width: 400px;
overflow: hidden; /* forces the div to clear the floated content */
}
div.left img,
div.right img {
border: 2px solid #888;
}
div.left img {
float: left;
padding-right: 20px;
}
div.right img {
float: right;
padding-left: 20px;
}
The html markup:
<div class="left">
<img src="your_image_source"><p>Lorem Ipsump dolor sit amet</p>
</div>
<div class="right">
<img src="your_image_source"><p>Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
</div>
Here is a DEMO
This should show you exactly what you need.
<body>
<div id="topLeft"></div>
<div id="topRight"></div>
<div id="middleLeft"></div>
<div id="middleRight"></div>
<div id="bottomLeft"></div>
<div id="bottomRight"right></div>
</body>
body {
height:400px;
}
#topLeft {
background-color:#000000;
width:32%;
height:32%;
margin:5px;
float:left;
}
#topRight {
float:right;
background-color: #000000;
width:65%;
height:32%;
margin:5px;
}
#middleLeft {
background-color:#000000;
width:65%;
height:32%;
margin:5px;
float:left;
}
#middleRight {
float:right;
background-color: #000000;
width:32%;
height:32%;
margin:5px;
}
#bottomLeft {
float:left;
background-color: #000000;
width:32%;
height:32%;
margin:5px;
}
#bottomRight {
float:right;
background-color: #000000;
width:65%;
height:32%;
margin:5px;
}
The body can be replaced with a wrapper and sized appropriately.
Code on jsFiddle
Fooey on those haters who say don't use tables. I would totally use a table for this.
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan=1><img src="yadayada"></td>
<td colspan=2>Lorem Ipsum...</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>Lorem Ipsum...</td>
<td colspan=1><img src="yadayada"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=1><img src="yadayada"></td>
<td colspan=2>Lorem Ipsum...</td>
</tr>
</table>

This question refers to the situation shown in this jsFiddle.
As you can see, currently, the div (aka .svg-container; orange background) that contains the svg elements (white background) is about 70px wider than it needs to be. Can I get this div to "shrink-to-fit" its contents using no JS?
EDIT: Just to be clear, the shape and positioning of the remaining elements should remain unaffected by the change. The only thing that should change is the shape .svg-container, and this should be in a way that the orange fringe along its right side has the same width as it has along the three other sides. The final result should look like this. (Of course, to produce this second jsFiddle, I had to explicitly set the width of .svg-container, which is not the kind of solution I'm looking for. I'm looking for the CSS that would translate into "extend beyond content's right edge the same amount as that beyond other three edges.")
And now, the obligatory source code:
*{
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
box-sizing:border-box;
margin:0;
font-family:consolas,monaco,courier,monospace;
}
.centered{
max-width:280px;
background-color:red;
padding:15px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.content{
width:100%;
color:#8f8;
background-color:#333;
}
table td:first-child{
width:75px;
}
.svg-container{
line-height:0;
background-color:orange;
}
svg{
margin:1px;
}
rect {
shape-rendering:crispEdges;
stroke:none;
fill:white;
}
td{
vertical-align:top;
}
<div class="centered">
<div class="content">
<table><tr>
<td>
<div><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam elementum, lectus ut consectetur mattis,</p></div>
</td>
<td>
<div class="svg-container">
<svg width="50" height="50"><rect width="50" height="50"></rect></svg><svg width="50" height="50"><rect width="50" height="50"></rect></svg><svg width="50" height="50"><rect width="50" height="50"></rect></svg><svg width="50" height="50"><rect width="50" height="50"></rect></svg><svg width="50" height="50"><rect width="50" height="50"></rect></svg><svg width="50" height="50"><rect width="50" height="50"></rect></svg>
</div>
</td>
</tr></table>
</div> <!-- .content -->
</div> <!-- .centered -->
This can be achieved if you add float: left to the svg(s) then overflow: hidden to the container (so the background shows), then finally, and the key to it all, add clear:both to the :nth-child(odd) selector to clear every 2nd svg from the float.
/* Stuff I've added to your CSS */
.svg-container {
overflow: hidden;
}
svg {
float: left;
}
svg:nth-child(odd) {
clear: left;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/eerLa/7/
EDIT
I just noticed your final result fiddle.
Option 1
Here's one option that feels pretty hacky: http://jsfiddle.net/P9pq7/7/
Change .svg-container to a span with no style. Add border: 1px solid orange; margin-top: -6px; to svg and margin-top: 0 to svg:first-child - works in FF, Chrome, and Safari
OR
Option 2 (better than option 1)
http://jsfiddle.net/eerLa/5/: Creates a table within your td using css
Use these styles:
.svg-container {
line-height:0;
display: table;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
svg {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid orange;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
OR
Option 3 (if you don't like tables)
http://jsfiddle.net/P9pq7/10/
.svg-container {
line-height:0;
font-size: 0;
}
svg {
display: inline-block;
padding: 1px;
background: orange;
}
svg:nth-child(even) {
clear: right;
}
original answer
Without setting explicit width on the containing div or td, you can set clear: both; display: block on svg to do this: http://jsfiddle.net/P9pq7/4/
I get a little lost on css stylesheet syntax. My dilemma is that I have four <div> tags with ROUGHLY the same style, except the colors are different or one may float: left but another tag might not have that.
So I was thinking I could add id to all of these so that I can move these style statements into the stylesheet.
How would I address each individual id in the stylesheet? I'm thinking something like div#id or something. Lets assume basic div is already unavailable, but I want some abstract stylesheet tag that at least contains display:block and font-size:11px and then a more specific stylesheet tag to address each <div> tag by its id or class or name.
<div style="display:block; color:steelblue; float:left; font-size:11px;">Open Requests </div>
<div id="openNumber" style="display:block; color:steelblue; font-size:11px; clear:right;">13</div>
<div style="display:block; color:green; float:left; font-size:11px;">Completed Requests </div>
<div id="completeNumber" style="display:block; color:green; float:left; font-size:11px;">13</div>
I get a little turned around on the syntax for different selector types
Thanks for any insight
You could try the following:
css:
.floatLeft { float: left; }
.clearRight { clear: right; }
.open { color: steelblue; font-size: 11px; }
.complete { color: green; font-size: 11px; }
html:
<div id="openRequests" class="open floatLeft">Open Requests </div>
<div id="openNumber" class="open clearRight">13</div>
<div id="completeRequests" class="complete floatLeft">Completed Requests </div>
<div id="completeNumber" class="complete floatLeft">13</div>
A <div> is already a block-level element, so you don't need to specify display: block on it.
You can create a class .numbers(or whatever best describes your grouping of divs) to hold the shared styles, and add that class to the divs in question. Then, target individual divs with their id's for tweaking colors.
Something like this might help:
CSS
.numbers {
/* shared styles */
}
#one {
/* unique styles */
}
#two {
/* unique styles */
}
#three {
/* unique styles */
}
Organizing your styles, in a semantic and meaningful way, can be challenging, but the time you save maintaining your code is well worth it. For a much better summary of how to do this, you can read this article.
I would use multiple classes to group silimar styles together. Try to extract semantic meaning:
Something like this:
CSS:
.block11 { display:block; font-size:11px; }
.left { float:left; }
.clear-right { clear:right; }
.steelblue { color: steelblue; }
.green { color: green; }
HTML:
<div class="block11 steelblue left">Open Requests </div>
<div class="block11 steelblue clear-right" id="openNumber">13</div>
<div class="block11 green left">Completed Requests </div>
<div class="block11 green left" id="completeNumber">13</div>
since the id's have to be unique, you could add an ID to those and then use:
#openRegistration{display:block; color:steelblue; float:left; font-size:11px;}
#openNumber{display:block; color:steelblue; font-size:11px; clear:right;}
#completedRequests{display:block; color:green; float:left; font-size:11px;}
#completeNumber{display:block; color:green; float:left; font-size:11px;}
NOW, given the above, we can simplify it as:
#openRegistration,#openNumber,#completedRequests,#completeNumber{display:block;font-size:11px;}
#openRegistration{ color:steelblue; float:left; }
#openNumber{color:steelblue; clear:right;}
#completedRequests{ color:green; float:left;}
#completeNumber{ color:green; float:left; }
or IF you want, give them a class and use that:
.myClass{display:block;font-size:11px;}
#openRegistration{ color:steelblue; float:left; }
#openNumber{color:steelblue; clear:right;}
#completedRequests{ color:green; float:left;}
#completeNumber{ color:green; float:left; }
EDIT:
or IF you want, give them more than one class and use that:
.myClass{display:block;font-size:11px;}
.complete{ color:green;}
.open{ color:steelblue;}
#openRegistration{ float:left;}
#openNumber{clear:right;}
#completedRequests{ float:left;}
#completeNumber{ float:left; }
<div class="myClass complete" ...
You can define some CSS classes and assign them to your elements according to what you need. Just an example:
CSS:
.myDiv {
display: block;
font-size: 11px;
}
.left { float: left; }
.clear-both { clear: both; }
.steelblue { color: steelblue; }
.green { color: green; }
HTML:
<div class="myDiv left steelblue">Open Requests </div>
<div class="clear-both"></div>
<div id="openNumber" class="myDiv steelblue">13</div>
<div class="myDiv green left">Completed Requests </div>
<div id="completeNumber" class="myDiv green left">13</div>
In this way you can separate your classes and use them only when you really need it.
You can use a class for the similarities, and an id for the differences.
<div class="common" id="some-id"><!-- ... --></div>
CSS:
.common {
display: block;
float: left;
font-size: 11px;
}
#completeNumber {
color: green
}
I have a top nav that extends across the page
Within that top nav I have various elements
two that must align left
one that must align right
The nav is fluid the elements are fixed widths
Do not want the elements to wrap when the browser window is minimized
Needs to work in IE6 on up due to high Chinese audience.
See example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/4SUwg/
<div id="header">
<div id="headerContent">
<div class="search-list"> Search List </div>
<div class="social-buttons"> Social </div>
<div class="signin"> Login Drop Down </div>
</div>
</div>
I would like the div elements within the nav to not wrap. I searched around on stack and could find answers that come close but nothing that completely addressed the issue. My need to have the div element aligned right complicates matters. Must work in all browsers, especially IE's.
Thanks all for your help in advance!!!
Use SPAN .. It's INLINE and not BLOCK ??
<div id="header">
<div id="headerContent">
<span class="search-list"> Search List </span>
<span class="social-buttons"> Social </span>
<span class="signin"> Login Drop Down </span>
</div>
</div>
And your CSS, remove floats
<style>
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#header {
background: #404040;
height: 35px;
color: white;
margin: 0 0 12px 0;
overflow-x:auto; overflow-y:hidden;
}
#headerContent {
height: 32px;
border:1px dashed #fff;
}
.search-list {
width:150px;
background:#039;
}
.social-buttons {
width:150px;
background:#060;
}
.signin {
width:200px;
background:#F00;
}
You want a fluid layout but the most important rule of a fluid layout is not to set a definite width of elements but you have set the width.
The CSS have a <style> tag, which is not required, probably you put it by mistake.
I have set the width of divs inside headerContent in percentage value. The CSS is
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#header {
background: #404040;
height: 35px;
color: white;
margin: 0 0 12px 0;
overflow-x:auto; overflow-y:hidden;
}
#headerContent {
height: 32px;
border:1px dashed #fff;
}
.search-list {
width:28%;
float:left;
background:#039;
}
.social-buttons {
width:28%;
float:left;
background:#060;
}
.signin {
width:28%;
float:right;
background:#F00;
}
Just changed the width value and on my browser it looked fine, better than the before version. Here's a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/DeepakKamat/s52Hn/8/
I found a solution that works in all browsers, specifically IE6 on up since that was a requirement for this project. If you have something better that accomplishes the same thing please post! My sincere thanks to everyone who answered/helped.

width:400px;
}
#leftWrapper {
width:400px;
}
#middle {

}
</style>
See Demo of it working here. Copy the code and try it out in all the IE's since JSfiddle does not work in all IE's.

I know there are several posts about this but none of the solutions are working for me. With that said, my containing div will not grow with my content. I know why this is happening, because it is 'float'ing but even when I use 'clear' it will not expand with the parent div. I've tried using using clear in nearly every element below with no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to add overflow hidden to the parent li
.product li {
....
overflow: hidden;
/*height: 100px;*/
}
The problem with overflow:hidden is it will hide overflowing elements if you have them in your layout. So by using clearfix which is i suppose the best practice you can acheive it like below.
.clearfix:after {
content: " "; /* Older browser do not support empty content */
visibility: hidden;
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
}
Then, basically you just need to add the class in your container elements. More about Clearfix
<li class="clearfix">
<div style="float: left;">
<div class="content">Big content</div>
</div>
</li>
FIDDLE DEMO
Adding a clearfix should solve your problem:
.clear{width: 100%; clear: both; height: 0px; line-height:0px;}
<div class='clear'></div>
.clear{width: 100%; clear: both; height: 0px; line-height:0px;}
<div class='clear'></div>
Add the above div at the very end of your container div (i think after product-column-right) and just before your closing li tag. That should ensure that the div spans the content.
Your product.li style has a height of 100px, so that's going to constrain the box no matter what. Remove that setting (or change it to height:auto) and then add an empty clear div just before the closing li tag and you should be fine.
So your CSS definition would change to:
.product li{
list-style:none;
margin: 0 0 15px 0;
padding:15px;
border:1px solid #ccc;
height:auto;
color:#000;
}
And then the relevant HTML:
<img style="margin-top:10px; border:0;" type="image"src="images/add-to-cart-button.png" width="90" height="25" />
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
I was using overflow: for a while with much success - but I had a few problems and decided to go back to this clear fix. If you have any problems - check it out.

I know there are many variations of this question posted, but none I've found quite provide an answer that works for this case.
I basically have two left floated divs. Inside those two divs are div headers and tabled content.
I want the Div headers (Hour/Minute) to stretch to the width of the tabled content, but they only do this in FF and Chrome, not IE7. IE7 is my works official browser so the one I need it to work with the most.
Here is the CSS:
#ui-timepicker-div { padding:0.2em; }
#ui-timepicker-hours { float:left; }
#ui-timepicker-minutes { margin:0 0 0 0.2em; float:left; }
.ui-timepicker .ui-timepicker-header { padding:0.2em 0; }
.ui-timepicker .ui-timepicker-title { line-height:1.8em; text-align:center; }
.ui-timepicker table { margin:0.15em 0 0 0; font-size:.9em; border-collapse:collapse; }
.ui-timepicker td { padding:1px; width:2.2em; }
.ui-timepicker th, .ui-timepicker td { border:0; }
.ui-timepicker td a {
display:block;
padding:0.2em 0.3em 0.2em 0.5em;
text-align:right;
text-decoration:none;
}
Here is the HTML (did not include tabled content):
<div style="position: absolute; top: 252.667px; left: 648px; z-index: 1; display: none;" class="ui-timepicker ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-helper-clearfix ui-corner-all" id="ui-timepicker-div">
<div id="ui-timepicker-hours">
<div class="ui-timepicker-header ui-widget-header ui-helper-clearfix ui-corner-all">
<div class="ui-timepicker-title">Hour</div>
</div>
<table class="ui-timepicker">
</table>
</div>
<div id="ui-timepicker-minutes">
<div class="ui-timepicker-header ui-widget-header ui-helper-clearfix ui-corner-all">
<div class="ui-timepicker-title">Minutes</div>
</div>
<table class="ui-timepicker">
</table>
</div>
</div>
Sorry to answer my own question, but after literally hours on this I just found out that by removing the 'ui-helper-clearfix' class from the ui-timepicker-header, all now works well in IE7 and FF
