I have a fluid article that has 2 columns 1 contains an image that fills whatever space is available for that column, the other column has text but I'm not sure how I can make this column .content-col occupy the space provided by .article. Can anyone advise how this can be achieved?
Jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/R7AuG/
CSS Snippet
.img-col{
width: 25%;
float: left;
}
.content-col{
background: black;
width: 75%;
float: left;
}
.col{
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
I also understand that this could be achieved with display:table but I'm wondering if this can be done without?
If you don't want to imitate a table, you could use a small CSS trick, namely, adding
overflow: hidden
to article, plus applying
margin-bottom:-1000em;
padding-bottom:1000em;
to .content-col

I have a question around vertically centering images which I haven't been able to find a solution to and would love to tap some other folks' brains. I am working on this page: http://www.heirloomtileworks.com/newsite/gift-tiles
The usual solutions haven't been working so far (at least not the way I've implemented them). My images are not contained within a div on a per-row basis; rather the rows of images are created by clearing floats every 4n+1 child elements.
The images may be a variety of heights, and the div is also not of fixed height. Images are added via the content manager. Each image is contained within div styled in this way:
#gift-tile-small-container {
width: 120px;
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
margin-right: 30px;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
These divs containing images currently flow down the page within a div (#gift-tile-container). So each row is created not by a separate div, but like so:
div#gift-tile-container div:nth-child(4n+1) {
clear: both;
}
I would like each #gift-tile-small-container div to align with the others in its row, so that the vertical centerpoint of each div is aligned with that of it's rowmates.
If you need to see the HTML as well, let me know, although it is written in Textpattern native tags and not normal HTML. It should be fairly self-explanatory. I appreciate your help!
You can try this out. Use inline block for the containers. I reduced the right margin because between each div container, there is white space. I tried this in firebug and it seems to work
#gift-tile-small-container {
display: inline-block;
margin-bottom: 20px;
margin-right: 25px;
min-height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 120px;
}
Again, as I mentioned in the comments, if you need to apply the same style to multiple elements. Use class instead of ID.
please see link below
as you can see there's a text on header (header is an image)
the text is:
mail#yahoo.com (this text is a part of image)
I convert that part of header image to link with below code
<div id="hw"><div id="header"><img src="test.jpg" /></div></div>
and this is #link
#ResponsiveLink {
width: 267px;
height:29px;
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:100px;
margin-left:413px;
}
how can we make that link be responsive in other devices? for example when browser is narrow position of the a tag with #ResponsiveLink id changes but i want it be fixed over my text.
The best way I know, is not to put a big part of your screen as an image. On the other hand you probably don't want to cut the image into several separate images. So, I suggest using CSS Sprit.
After separating the image, you can put the parts beside each other using float, clear, and percentage widths, or use a framework like bootstrap.
If you still want to use the image as a whole header, in a single HTML tag which don't recommend at all, using percentage top for your #ResponsiveLink would work. You should just add width: 100% to all its parents: header, hw, and wrapper.
Following the comments:
#ResponsiveLink {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FF0000;
display: block;
height: 0;
left: 58%;
margin-left: 0;
margin-top: 7%;
padding-bottom: 3%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 25%;
}
This will fix the problem because of the difference between percentages of position and margin, top percentage is calculated using first absolute parent's height but margin and padding percentages are calculated using parent's width. There's still a problem caused by the max width which you can fix adding a wrapper inside your #head with a width of 100% and no max width.
The other try of using floats and separated images have too many problems to write here, sorry.
What you're currently building isn't a sustainable solution and you should definitely see other replies on how to improve your site layout.
However, if you need a temporary solution, the following CSS changes will work on your current page:
#header {
margin: 0 auto;
max-width: 980px;
position: relative;
}
#ResponsiveLink {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FF0000;
display: block;
height: 30%;
left: 60%;
position: absolute;
right: 12%;
top: 37%;
}
I am relatively new to front-end dev so a bit lost as to how i can go about this. I created a container that contains a slider and some images. My supervisor has a huge screen so obviously there will be empty space at the bottom of the screen. So he doesn't want that. Instead he wants the container to be centered horizontally and vertically based on the size of the user's screen.
How can I do this properly with as minimal code as possible? I believe there is jQuery plugin but wanted to see if there is a better way or if doing this makes sense at all or not?
Due to the flow-based nature of CSS, without Javascript this can only be done if the vertical size of the centered element is fixed, by applying a position:absolute' andtop:50%` within a fixed container, and then use negative margin to offset the container. Click here for JSFiddle Sample.
Alternatively the same effect can be reached by using display:table-cell, but that's kind of messy and loses you a lot of flexibility. Sample already supplied in the other answer here so I'll save myself the effort :)
You can do it easily using a vertical-align property.
Since vertical-align works the desired way way only in a table cell, this trick with display property can give you the desired effect.
#yourDiv {
// give it a size
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
html {
display: table;
}
body {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
See a fiddle with demo.
Try this:
HTML:
<div class="center"></div>
CSS:
.center {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
margin-top: -150px;
background-color: red;
}

Exactly Center an Image/Div Horizontally and Vertically:
http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/exactly-center-an-imagediv-horizontally-and-vertically/
I'm trying to build the liquid layout shown below in CSS.
The left column should stretch to all available space, and if it's possible, on same line.The column on right should became with the same width.
I have already achieved a result very close to what I want. Take a look at http://jsfiddle.net/tcWCC/34/embedded/result/
But there are two problems. The height of both aligned DIVs should be equal. The first or second DIV should grow to be the same height as the other.
The second question is that when the width is not sufficient for 2 DIVs, I want the first (NomeEvento) div to be on top. and not the second div (DataEvento).
I am not sure I understood your question correctly. Is the following layout something similar to what you want? http://jsfiddle.net/5sjgf/
Here's more CSS to try out. If you wanted a margin on that left side. I added background colors to help differentiate.
div.NomeEvento {
text-align: left;
float: left;
width: 75%;
background-color: #eee;
}
div.DataEvento {
text-align: left;
margin-left: 5%;
width: 20%;
float:left;
background-color: #ccc;
}
It seems like a lot of extraneous CSS to me. But maybe the other stuff is in there for a reason. This works fine as the sum-total of your CSS though:
div.Evento {
overflow: hidden;
margin-top: 10px;
}
div.NomeEvento {
background: #eee;
padding-right: 20%; /* the same as the right column width */
}
div.DataEvento {
float:right;
background: #ddd;
}
...BUT, if you're right-floating an element, place it first in the layout - here it's element class DataEvento:
<div class="Evento">
<div class="DataEvento">#evento.Data</div>
<div class="NomeEvento">#evento.Nome</div>
</div>

How to horizontally center a floating element of a variable width?
Edit: I already have this working using a containing div for the floating element and specifying a width for the container (then use margin: 0 auto; for the container). I just wanted to know whether it can be done without using a containing element or at least without having to specify a width for the containing element.
Assuming the element which is floated and will be centered is a div with an id="content"
...
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div id="content">
This will be centered
</div>
</div>
</body>
And apply the following CSS:
#wrap {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
#content {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
Here is a good reference regarding that.
.center {
display: table;
margin: auto;
}
You can use fit-content value for width.
#wrap {
width: -moz-fit-content;
width: -webkit-fit-content;
width: fit-content;
margin: auto;
}
Note: It works only in latest browsers.
This works better when the id = container (which is the outer div) and id = contained (which is the inner div). The problem with the highly recommended solution is that it results in some cases into an horizontal scrolling bar when the browser is trying to cater for the left: -50% attribute. There is a good reference for this solution
#container {
text-align: center;
}
#contained {
text-align: left;
display: inline-block;
}
Say you have a DIV you want centred horizontally:
<div id="foo">Lorem ipsum</div>
In the CSS you'd style it with this:
#foo
{
margin:0 auto;
width:30%;
}
Which states that you have a top and bottom margin of zero pixels, and on either left or right, automatically work out how much is needed to be even.
Doesn't really matter what you put in for the width, as long as it's there and isn't 100%. Otherwise you wouldn't be setting the centre on anything.
But if you float it, left or right, then the bets are off since that pulls it out of the normal flow of elements on the page and the auto margin setting won't work.
The popular answer here does work sometimes, but other times it creates horizontal scroll bars that are tough to deal with - especially when dealing with wide horizontal navigations and large pull down menus. Here is an even lighter-weight version that helps avoid those edge cases:
#wrap {
float: right;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
#content {
left: 50%;
position: relative;
}
Proof that it is working!
To more specifically answer your question, it is probably not possible to do without setting up some containing element, however it is very possible to do without specifying a width value. Hope that saves someone out there some headaches!
Can't you just use display: inline block and align to center?
Example.
for 50% element
width: 50%;
display: block;
float: right;
margin-right: 25%;
