I have two divs, both are floating left. "Left" div would be left column of the page. "Right" div would be the main content.
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
<div id="left">
</div>
<div id="right">
</div>
<div id="docked_div">
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 35px;
width: 1005px;
}
#content {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: white;
}
#left {
float: left;
width: 250px;
background: red;
}
#right {
float: left;
background: blue;
}
This works fine. Now I have the third div named docked_div. This div should be outside the wrapper and on the right side of right div (about 20px from top of right div).
So, the black div now is on the left side, but it should be on the right side and outside the wrapper.
I have tried to set position to relative or absolute in different ways, but I cannot get
the result I want. I do not have much CSS knowledge on creating layout, so, I would appreciate any suggestions and guidance.
Here is the full example:
http://jsfiddle.net/TA7Rh/
I think this will work
#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 35px;
width: 1005px;
position: relative;
}
#docked_div {
/*background: url(../images/mazais_fons.png);*/
background-size: 100%;
width: 53px;
height: 212px;
position: absolute;
right:-60px;
}
jsFiddle Link
change the right position as per your requirement.
Try this.
#docked_div {
background-size: 100% auto;
height: 212px;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
width: 53px;
}
This will take the div to be on the right of the main div. Hope this helps.

What would be the best way to achieve a style that looks like this? By this, I am asking, how can I set up rules so that the spacing and locations of the buttons are perfectly aligned in the center (they are not aligned correctly right now). I was thinking of a div that wraps the whole thing together, a div that floats left holding the first angle and the title, and a second div that floats left holding the icons. The icons are from the font-awesome package and I do not understand how to align them correctly.
Something along the lines of this should do:
HTML:
<div class="bar">
<div class="first button"></div>
<dic class="second button"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.bar{
width: 960px;
height: 60px;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
padding: 5px;
}
.button {
width: 50px;
height: 100%;
float: right;
margin-right: 10px;
background-size: 50px 50px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center; /* This is what will centralize it vertically and horizontally */
}
.first { background-image: url('image.png') }
.second { background-image: url('image2.png') }
I hope this helped.
Well, its hard to answer it exactly unless you post what you currently have.
However, your on the right track.
What I would do:
Wrap the whole thing in a div (as you said)
float the text left (which you said as well)
float the icons right (not left)
As far as spacing, put a margin/padding left/right to the two buttons.
EDIT:
As per my discussion with Luiz Berti:
You are almost right.
Try this instead:
http://jsfiddle.net/GYPK5/1/
HTML
<div class="bar">
<div class="text">Lots of stuff here</div>
<div class="buttons">
<img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/led24.de/led/16/page-white-edit-icon.png" />
<img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/led24.de/led/16/bin-closed-icon.png" />
</div>
<div class="clear"> </div>
</div>
CSS
.bar {
width: 400px;
border: 1px solid black;
height: 20px;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 20px;
}
.text {
margin-left: 20px;
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
.buttons {
float: right;
margin-right: 20px;
position: relative;
top: 2px;
}
.buttons img {
margin: 0 10px;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
width: 0;
height: 0;
}
I have what is a fairly common page layout where the content div is centralised on the page using margin:auto 0. The width of the div itself varies depending on available page width.
I want another div featuring a logo to 'stick' to the outside left hand side of this div (ie no gap or overlap between the two) at a fixed height. What CSS should I use for this?
something like
html:
<html>
<div id='content'>
<div id='stickything'>a</div>
</div>
</html>
css:
html {
width: 100%;
}
#content {
position: relative;
width: 100px;
height: 600px;
margin: auto;
background-color: green;
}
#stickything {
position: fixed;
width: 25px;
height: 30px;
top: 0px;
margin-left: -25px;
background-color: red;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Kkcnn/
Use position:absolute. It must help:
.container-div{
position: relative
}
.outer-div{
position:absolute;
top: 0 (your choice)
left: -/outer div's width/
}
I'm having some trouble figuring out how to do this. I want to have a wrapper so my site is centered, but one of the header elements needs to stretch all the way to the right edge of the page, but without expanding the width of the page and adding scrollbars.
See here: http://i49.tinypic.com/6rkaxc.jpg (new poster so can't add image)
The blue outline represents the centered wrapper, and the orange box is the header div that I'm trying to get to fit to the right side of the page. I've got it to work using 100% width but it creates a horizontal page scroll since it's making it the same width as it's parent. I want it to expand for users that have higher resolutions so it always fits snug to the right side. I hope this makes sense.
my code looks something like...
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="left">
</div>
<div id="right">
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
div#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1020px;
position: relative;
}
div#header {
height: 150px;
position: absolute;
left: 510px;
width: 100%;
}
div#left {
width: 510px;
float: left;
}
div#right {
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
I'm pretty new to this stuff so if you notice any errors here or bad practices please point them out! Thanks for the help! :)
Since you want your content to be fixed width, a strategy would be to have containers for both left and right contents. This allows you to use width: 100% for the header which will extend to the end without scroll bars. You then make the header relative to the right container. Here is a jsfiddle you can play with.
Note I made the widths smaller so it would fit in my jsfiddle window.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="leftContainer">
<div id="left">
This is left
</div>
</div>
<div id="rightContainer">
<div id="header">
This is a header
</div>
<div id="right">
This is right
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
div#wrapper {
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
div#header {
z-index: 1000;
height: 150px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
background: green;
}
div#leftContainer {
float: left;
width: 50%;
height: 500px;
display: inline-block;
}
div#left {
float: right;
width: 260px;
height: 300px;
background-color: purple;
}
div#rightContainer {
position: relative;
float: right;
width: 50%;
height: 500px;
display: inline-block;
}
div#right {
width: 260px;
height: 300px;
background-color: yellow;
}
Try this one. I changed the wrapper width to 80%. Not sure if that's ok. But I works well when expanding the page. Moved the header outside of wrapper and also added background color for clarity.
Note 1: right DIV's margin-top is same size as header DIV's height.
HTML
<div id="outerWrapper">
<div id="header">
Header
</div>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left">
Left
</div>
<div id="right">
Right
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
div#wrapper {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
div#header {
height: 150px;
float: right;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
width: 50%;
background-color: yellow;
}
div#left {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
div#right {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
margin-top: 150px;
background-color: blue;
}
Hope this helps.
This question already has answers here:
Align <div> elements side by side
(4 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have a small problem. I am trying to align two divs side by side using CSS, however, I would like the center div to be positioned horizontally central in the page, I achieved this by using:
#page-wrap { margin 0 auto; }
That's worked fine. The second div I would like positioned to the left side of the central page wrap but I can't manage to do this using floats although I'm sure it is possible.
I would like to push the red div up alongside the white div.
Here is my current CSS concerning these two divs, sidebar being the red div and page-wrap being the white div:
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
height: 400px;
background: red;
float: left;
}
#page-wrap {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 600px;
background: #ffffff;
height: 400px;
}
If you wrapped your divs, like this:
<div id="main">
<div id="sidebar"></div>
<div id="page-wrap"></div>
</div>
You could use this styling:
#main {
width: 800px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
height: 400px;
background: red;
float: left;
}
#page-wrap {
width: 600px;
background: #ffffff;
height: 400px;
margin-left: 200px;
}
This is a slightly different look though, so I'm not sure it's what you're after. This would center all 800px as a unit, not the 600px centered with the 200px on the left side. The basic approach is your sidebar floats left, but inside the main div, and the #page-wrap has the width of your sidebar as it's left margin to move that far over.
Update based on comments: For this off-centered look, you can do this:
<div id="page-wrap">
<div id="sidebar"></div>
</div>
With this styling:
#sidebar {
position: absolute;
left: -200px;
width: 200px;
height: 400px;
background: red;
}
#page-wrap {
position: relative;
width: 600px;
background: #ffffff;
height: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I don't understand why Nick is using margin-left: 200px; instead off floating the other div to the left or right, I've just tweaked his markup, you can use float for both elements instead of using margin-left.
Demo
#main {
margin: auto;
width: 400px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 100px;
min-height: 400px;
background: red;
float: left;
}
#page-wrap {
width: 300px;
background: #0f0;
min-height: 400px;
float: left;
}
.clear:after {
clear: both;
display: table;
content: "";
}
Also, I've used .clear:after which am calling on the parent element, just to self clear the parent.
This Can be Done by Style Property.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#main {
display: flex;
}
#main div {
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 0;
flex-basis: 40px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main">
<div style="background-color:coral;">Red DIV</div>
<div style="background-color:lightblue;" id="myBlueDiv">Blue DIV</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Its Result will be :
Enjoy...
Please Note: This works in Higher version of CSS (>3.0).
The HTML code is for three div align side by side and can be used for two also by some changes
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="first">first</div>
<div id="second">second</div>
<div id="third">third</div>
</div>
The CSS will be
#wrapper {
display:table;
width:100%;
}
#row {
display:table-row;
}
#first {
display:table-cell;
background-color:red;
width:33%;
}
#second {
display:table-cell;
background-color:blue;
width:33%;
}
#third {
display:table-cell;
background-color:#bada55;
width:34%;
}
This code will workup towards responsive layout as it will resize the
<div>
according to device width.
Even one can silent anyone
<div>
as
<!--<div id="third">third</div> -->
and can use rest two for two
<div>
side by side.
It's also possible to to do this without the wrapper - div#main. You can center the #page-wrap using the margin: 0 auto; method and then use the left:-n; method to position the #sidebar and adding the width of #page-wrap.
body { background: black; }
#sidebar {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
width: 200px;
height: 400px;
background: red;
margin-left: -230px;
}
#page-wrap {
width: 60px;
background: #fff;
height: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
However, the sidebar would disappear beyond the browser viewport if the window was smaller than the content.
Nick's second answer is best though, because it's also more maintainable as you don't have to adjust #sidebar if you want to resize #page-wrap.
The easiest method would be to wrap them both in a container div and apply margin: 0 auto; to the container. This will center both the #page-wrap and the #sidebar divs on the page. However, if you want that off-center look, you could then shift the container 200px to the left, to account for the width of the #sidebar div.
Ok so I have a website and the entire thing is wrapped in a container. This container is centered with margin:auto. I would like to float a piece of content to the right of this centered container and have it sort of stick to the side of it no matter if the user resizes the browser window, etc. I'm wondering if there's a real simple way to do this rather than adding another huge div, giving it width and floating the centered portion to the left and the piece of content to the right. Thanks!
Piggybacking on #NickAllen, you want to use absolute positioning so that the width of the sidebar isn't included in the centering on the primary container.
#container {
position: relative;
width: 500px;
border: 1px solid #f00;
margin: 0px auto;
}
#sidebar {
position: absolute;
width: 200px;
right: -200px;
border: 1px solid #0f0;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="sidebar">
[ sidebar content ]<br>
[ sidebar content ]<br>
</div>
[content]<br>
[content]<br>
[content]<br>
</div>
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but isn't this what you want:
#container {
width: 960px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="sidebar">
some content
</div>
</div>
Give the container div the property position: relative; place your floating div as the first child of the container div and give it
#floatingDiv
{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: -{widthOfFloatedDiv};
}
I think that will work, but untested
Okay so tested it and it works
<div style="position: relative; width: 980px; margin: 0 auto; border: 1px solid #000; height: 400px;">
<div style="position: absolute; top: 0; right: -200px; width: 200px;">
<p>Floated DIV</p>
</div>
<p>container div</p>
</div>
Old question, but contributing since other answers were kinda lacking that "something" and it's still on top of Google. The simplest, cleanest way to achieve this is with two wrappers.
<div class="bigWrapper">
<div class="sidebar">Hello, I'm your sidebar</div>
<div class="smallWrapper">
Put the thing you want to center here.
</div>
</div>
With the following css:
.bigWrapper {
width: 1000px;
height: auto;
margin: auto;
}
.smallWrapper {
width: 500px;
height: auto;
margin: auto;
}
.sidebar {
width: 250px;
float: left;
height: auto;
}
Floating is the way to go for this. They will always stick together, unless the container is smaller than the sum of their widths.
Tip: make sure your container is wide enough to hold both inner divs; if not, and the user has a narrower window, they will show one below the other.
