I have a simple image gallery dynamically controlled by PHP to add and remove image thumbnails from a page. The problem I have is that I want the images to be aligned next to eachother until there is no room on that row and is forced to start another.
I have tried using float:left which worked but the containing body div with a height set to auto resized itself to not include the images. I then tried adding clear:both; to the images which fixed the body div issue but now has the images directly underneath eachother.
I've used float:left before in many cases but the containing div had a fixed height.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this?
Thanks heaps :)
You have to add an empty div with "clear: both;" as the last element in the div containing the images.
If you add "clear: both;" to an image, that image will be placed on a new row because it wont allow floated elements on either side of it.

I have a layering issue with a site that I can't seem to figure out how to get around.
Essentially, I have a float:right div that contains some linked images and a bunch of block divs on the same page (in the same wrapper). The text (content) all wraps as expected, but the block elements overlap the floated elements making the image links non-clickable. It becomes quite obvious when viewed using chrome/firebug/whatever that the blocks are getting in the way of the floats but nothing I have tried as yet has floated them to the top.
example from: http://wanganuilibrary.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/280
What I need is a way of allowing the links on the images in the float to be clickable. The float can have a set width but not height, and the rest of the content needs to be free flowing and wrap under the float if/when required, so no forced padding or margins, e.g.: http://wanganuilibrary.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/1519
Any ideas on how this could be achieved would be appreciated.
Usually columns like this are built using floats.
The left content column would be float: left with a set width.
The right content would be float: right with a smaller width.
Otherwise you can set the z-index of the anchors around the images to higher than the other content,
I'm trying to edit a tumblr theme to make my posts centered inside of an image (the image is in a div) I've tried giving the posts and div the same margin in CSS but I can't seem to get the image inside the div to center correctly on the page. I want the posts to be perfectly centered horizontally inside the image even when the browser window is resized. Anybody know how i can do this? Is there an easier way than having the image in a div? here is a link to my code

First of all i would recommend using image as a background image. Would be easy to handle it as it will not affect other things inside a div.
Second, if you were to use image you would position it absolutely which mean main div should be positioned relatively. Then once image has been positioned i.e. top:0; left:0; put z-index:-100; so that way it will be always behind.
To make div always be centered both horizontally, vertically and in both directions. See my example. Here:
http://jsfiddle.net/techsin/TfLTR/
try style=aligen:center;
just you can manage by style sheet tag like padding and margin also .
I have a webpage with links down the left hand side of the page in a div that is floating left. I then have content to the right of that that is in a div floating right. The problem I'm having is that when the page is resized the content moves below the links.
I have tired putting the whole page in a wrapper div but when I did the links stopped working and I could not position the content where I needed too.
Here is the css for the wrapper div
#wrapper {
margin:0 auto 0 auto;
min-width:960px;
}
Floated elements will behave in that manner, since they're out of the page flow.
What you probably are looking for is a fluid two column layout.
The main problem is that you are giving the divs fixed widths so the first step is to change the widths of the divs to % or em.
Do this full screen to begin with, I would even go as far as creating a blank page with no content what so ever, just give the divs a different background colo(u)r. Do this as you then know the width of the content isn't interfering.
I would also float both divs to the left and maybe position them relatively to begin with.
I figured out the best way to go over the window resize issue is do like wordpress and even this site do: put balnk resizable margins around the page and make all the content fixed width.
"Liquid" style (with percents etc.) is cool but doesn't really look right most times, so the best thing is to build your page a little narrower than the full window and let different brawsers just change the margin size.
To do so I actually style the very html tag givin it a fixed width like 1000px or whatever and then margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; to keep it always centered.
EDIT:
Put this in your css
html {
width:66em;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
Doing some css, so threw this quick fiddle together to show the issue I am having.

The div block in center of the demo, is overlapping the container div.
Can you suggest a fix for this please, it always trips me up.
The center div can be larger as content is added, so outer div container needs to handle this also, and retain margins
You can add clear: both to the last element inside the containing div.
This is asked 10 times a day on StackOverflow. It's because you're using float ont he children of the container div. Just impleemnt overflow:hidden to it and it should work.
Search more about clearfix, also.
I'm dealing with a text who goes out of its div. I've coded the frontpage. So, no matter how long the main content is, it should force the sub-content (the grey area and the footer) to move down.
You see how the dummy text is acting

I've accomplish this before but somehow it's not working now.
You've set an explicit height on that div. For it to reshape itself to its content, you'll need to set height:auto. (or never set its height in the first place)
EDIT: As ANeve said, you'll need to remove the height on both .article and .opentext, as well you'll need to put a clear:left on .lower-container to push the footer down.
If you have an element that only contains floating elements, the container's height will be zero. To fix this you can add a clearing div (<div style="clear:both"></div>).
If you add a clearing div at the end of the #under-content section, it will automatically adjust the height of the section to it's contents.
The other issue you have is that you are using relative positioning on your .opentext div elements. When you set a 'top' property, it actually pushes the content down, causing it to overlap with your #lower-container. You're better off using the 'margin-top' property, which will expand the size the .opentext div to fit all the contents.
So in short:
Add <div style="clear:both"></div> at the end of the #under-content <section>
Change the 'top:82px' to 'margin-top:82px' on your .opentext div
I hope this helps!
Just use wordwrap: break-word; for the div and it will break the word to the next line.
You have set the height property of your .article and .opentext divs. If you remove this property, the content should expand accordingly.
However, you will also need to adjust the positioning of your background image. You should set the background image of .footer itself, rather than relying on one statically-sized background image for the entire page.
