Align div to top of container - css-float

You can see in this JSFiddle that the search div is centre aligned, how can I make it align to the top?
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="banner">
<a href="#"><h1>Title</h2><br />
<h2>Subtitle</h2></a>
<div id="search">
<label>Search</label>
<input type="textbox"/>
<input type="submit" />
<img src="images/logo.png" alt="logo"/>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#wrapper{
width:85%;
margin:35px auto;
}
#banner{
height:150px;
padding:30px;
padding-bottom:5px;
}
#search{
float:right;
display:inline;
width:38%;
}
#banner h1, #banner h2{
margin:0;padding:0;color:#A2A2A2;display:inline;
}
#banner h1{
font-size:50px;
}
#banner h2{
font-size:35px;
}

You have at least two options. If you want to float the search div to right, move it up in the html code. Now the search div floats right to the elements that are after it in the code. (Note that you had an unclosed div in the original code.)
See the Fiddle
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="banner">
<div id="search">
<label>Search</label>
<input type="textbox"/>
<input type="submit" />
<img src="images/logo.png" alt="logo"/>
</div>
<a class="" href="#"><h1>Title</h2><br />
<h2 class="">Subtitle</h2></a>
</div>
</div>
Other option is to make the preceding elements (a and h2) float to the left side of the search div but that doesn't look so good as the search div is not at the right edge of the browser window.

Input field should take the remaining width

I am trying to build a form to add new users to some kind of entity. The idea is to have user avatars in a line and on the end of the line there is a input-field with a typeahead to insert new users.
I tried this some years ago and ended up using javascript as I was not able to do this in plain css (2).
The big question: is this somehow possible in css3?
Basic idea of code:
<div class="availableWidth">
<div class="list">
<ul>
<li><div class="avatar">...</div></li>
...
</ul>
</div>
<div class="form">
<div class="typeaheadField">
<input ...>
</div>
<button>+</button>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.list ul li {
list-style-type:none;
display:inline-block;
}
button {
width:50px;
}
Basic Idea is that the box .availableWidth has some width (100%) the box .list grows in width (when new li items are added) as the box .form should shrink in width. Right to the input is a some pixels wide button. The input should take the remaining space.
Is that possible in css3 or will I need Javascript?
You can use flexbox, or you can use display table attributes in CSS. Take a look:
.container {
display: table;
width: 100%;
position:relative;
}
.avatar {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
display: table-cell;
}
.input {
height: 50px;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.input input {
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 5px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="avatar">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/50x50/000/fff&text=Avatar"/>
</div>
<div class="avatar">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/50x50/000/fff&text=Avatar"/>
</div>
<div class="avatar">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/50x50/000/fff&text=Avatar"/>
</div>
<div class="input">
<input type="text"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="avatar">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/50x50/000/fff&text=Avatar"/>
</div>
<div class="avatar">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/50x50/000/fff&text=Avatar"/>
</div>
<div class="avatar">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/50x50/000/fff&text=Avatar"/>
</div>
<div class="avatar">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/50x50/000/fff&text=Avatar"/>
</div>
<div class="avatar">
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/50x50/000/fff&text=Avatar"/>
</div>
<div class="input">
<input type="text"/>
</div>
</div>
You can add all the avatars that you want at left side and the input rearrange automatically.
You want to make input 100% width relative to some container from avatars to button. You can get it by using table, flexboxes or formatting contexts and floats.
Here is last one http://jsfiddle.net/53f0yzeL/
Notice overflow:hidden rule for .avatars-wrapper, it make container to fit exactly between floated elements and .avatars side so you can make input 100% wide.

Tweak pull-right in bootstrap

I would like the button to also be inside the div with 'border-blue', but it doesn't. If I remove 'pull-right' from the button's class, it will be in. So, how to keep the button inside the div, and also float it to the right.
http://www.bootply.com/KRnvb6Kk4W
HTML :
<form id="LoginForm">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="centering text-center col-lg-3 border-blue">
<div class="drop-shadow raised">
<input type="text"/>
</div>
<br />
<div class="drop-shadow raised">
<input type="text"/>
</div>
<br />
<div>
<span id="spMsg"></span>
<button type="submit" class="btn-login-base pull-right">
<i class="fa fa-share-square"></i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
CSS :
.border-blue {border:1px solid blue;}
.row-fluid
{
height: 100%;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.centering
{
float:none;
margin:0 auto;
padding:0;
}
.btn-login-base
{
width:32px;
height:34px;
padding:0;
background:transparent;
border:none;
}
//bootstrap's .pull-right{float:right !important;}
Add .clearfix class to .border-blue, like this:
<div class="centering text-center col-lg-3 border-blue clearfix">
It will force the container not to collapce because of the inner floated elements.

Nested <DIV> does not align to top

<div id="outer" style="position:relative; width:100%; height:100%">
<div id="1" style="position:relative; width:25%; height:auto;"></div>
<div id="2" style="position:relative; width:65%; height:auto;">
<div id="2a" style="position:relative; width:15%; height:auto;"></div>
</div>
</div>
The problem is that the #2 and #2a are not aligned to #1 and I have to use top:-xxpx to align to top.
http://jsfiddle.net/D7HZR/
Fiddle. Is it what you are looking for?
#1, #2{
float:left;
}
Frankly speaking I'm not sure what you want. I think you want that :
<div id="outer" style="position:relative; width:100%; height:400px; border:#000000 solid 1px;">
<div id="1" style="float:left; width:25%; height:400px; background:#fff000;"></div>
<div id="2" style="float:left; width:65%; height:400px;background:#ff0000;">2
<div id="2a" style="float:left; width:15%; height:auto;background:#000fff;">2a</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/D7HZR/2/
Ok, i think that i've understand your problem, just add the display property on your divs of id 1 and 2
<div id="outer" style="width:100%; height:400px; border:#000000 solid 1px;">
<div id="1" style="display: inline-block; width:25%; height:400px; background:#fff000;"></div>
<div id="2" style="display: inline-block; width:65%; height:400px;background:#ff0000;">
<div id="2a" style="width:15%; background:#000fff;"></div>
</div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/p5KQJ/
#outer div {
float: left;
}
You also need to set a height on the inner div if you want it to take up vertical space.
It's unclear if you want the 3rd div nested or not so I made a fiddle that has one version nested and one with them all side by side.

CSS: Using 100% of remaining width

I'm making a list consisting of an image, title, buttons, source code and am having a problem with using 100% of the remaining width.
My main problem is that I'm not being able to make a <textarea> use all the remaining width and height.
Here's what I'm getting:
And what I intend to have:
Below the source code, CSS:
.listing {width:100%;background:#f1f1f1;display:table;}
.leftimage {clear:none;display:table-cell;padding:20px;}
.listing .information {padding: 20px;width:100%;display:table-cell;}
.listing .information .title {font-size:20px;color:#016b98;}
.listing .information .title a {color:#016b98;text-decoration:underline;}
.listing .information .outsideButton {float:left;padding-top:5px;padding-right:5px;clear:none;}
.listing .information .outsideButton {clear:right;}
.listing .information .outsideButton .button {border: 1px solid #626262;background:#d8d8d8;}
.listing .information .outsideButton .button .label {padding:5px;}
.listing .information .outsideButton .button .label a {color:#626262;}
HTML:
<div class="listing">
<div class="leftimage">
<div style="height:150px;"><!-- Allows to change image position on click without changing .listing size -->
<a><img class="preview" height="150px" src="img.png"></a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="information">
<div class="title">
<a>TITLE</a>
</div>
<div class="outsideButton">
<div class="button">
<div class="label">
<a>BUTTON 2</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="outsideButton">
<div class="button">
<div class="label">
<a>BUTTON 3</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="outsideButton">
<div class="button">
<div class="label">
<a>BUTTON 4</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="outsideButton">
<div class="button">
<div class="label">
<a>BUTTON 5</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- END OF BUTTONS -->
<!-- HERE I WANT TO DISPLAY THE TEXTAREA WITH HTML CODE -->
<div style="float:left;padding-top:10px;clear:left;width:100%;">
<textarea style="padding:0;margin:0;width:100%;"><?php echo htmlspecialchars("<div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div>"); ?></textarea>
</div>
<!-- END OF TEXTAREA WITH HTML CODE -->
</div><!-- END OF .information -->
</div>
Thanks.
SOLUTION:
Set vertical-align:top; for every table-cell
As also referred in my comments maybe this helps you to achieve the same result but without the usage of floats at all:
CSS for HTML dynamic layout with not fixed columns?
Build the layout with display: table; and display: table-cell; properties and then use width: 100% on your <textarea>
EDIT:
You still use floats for your buttons - clear them correctly - e.g. wrap them in a <div class="clearfix"> and use this css for it:
.clearfix {
*zoom: 1;
}
.clearfix:before,
.clearfix:after {
display: table;
line-height: 0;
content: "";
}
.clearfix:after {
clear: both;
}
EDIT:
For anyone refering to this question: as pointed out by 2013Asker, don't forget to set the vertical-align: when using display: table-cell
First you have to tell the container div to get the remainder space and then tell textarea to get all that space of its parent. Add 'width: 100px' to each one.
<div style="float:left;padding-top:10px;clear:left; width:100%">
<textarea style="padding:0;margin:0; width: 100%"><?php echo htmlspecialchars("<div> <span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div><div><span>Whatever...</span></div>"); ?>
</textarea>
</div>

How to - CSS background for border right

I'm having problems setting an image as the right hand border to #left in the example below. Currently the border appears but it is about 200px to the right, rather than 500px to the right.
Any idea what's going wrong please?
Thanks!
<html>
<STYLE type="text/css">
#wrapper, #left, #right, .sub_box
{ border: 1px solid black; }
.sub_box
{ float:left; }
#left
{ background: url("dots.gif") right repeat-y; }
</STYLE>
<div id="wrapper" style="width:882px">
<div id="left" style="width:500px;float:left">
<div class="sub_box" style="width:200px">
<p>sub box</p>
</div>
<div class="sub_box" style="width:200px">
<p>sub box</p>
</div>
<div class="sub_box" style="width:200px">
<p>sub box</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="right" style="width:200px;float:right">
<p>Right column here</p>
</div>
</div>
</html>
Try this one...
background: url("dots.gif") 500px 0px repeat-y;
Or adjust, as you want.
