How can I allow div to float outside the main container - css

I am working on WP using a template and I'm trying to get a button to float outside the main container. I went through some already posted questions here, but no luck.
I have tried with padding, margin, overflow, etc. The one thing that seems to work is by setting negative margin, but in that case the div is hidden by the main container.
Here's the HTML:
<div class="purchase_options_meta clearfix">
<div class="purchase_options">
<div id="deal_attributes_wrap" class="section ">
</div>
<div class="buy_button gb_ff font_x_large">
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here's the CSS I'm using:
.container.main {
width: 980px;
padding: 20px;
overflow: visible;
}
.purchase_options {
position: relative;
}
.buy_button {
position: absolute;
background: url(http://topgreekgyms.fitnessforum.gr/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Button12.png) no-repeat center;
color: white;
height: 100px;
width: 375px;
left: -54px;
top: -16px;
}
.button {
background-color: transparent;
color: #ffffff;
}
.button:hover {
background-color: transparent;
color: #cccccc;
}
.buy_button a {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 29px;
font-family: arial;
padding: 12px;
display: block;
white-space: nowrap;
position: relative;
margin: 15px 0 0 50px;
}
.buy_button a span {
position: absolute;
right: 33px;
padding: 0 5px;
}
And here's a link to the page. My problem is with the top red button at the left.
I would greatly appreciate any help!

Just in case that helps someone in the future:
I had to add this part of CSS in my code:
#deal_single.clearfix:after {
clear: both !important;
}
Just to be more specific '#deal_single' is the page id.

Display inline block the right way to achieve this

I have the following CSS lines:
.liquid {
display: inline-block;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
}
<h2 class="liquid">Liquid</h2>
It should look like this:
http://imgur.com/B9vblUP
But instead looks like this:
http://imgur.com/8RQTkcO
What am i doing wrong here and how to get it exactly like the first pic?
I tried overflow hidden but that only shows Liquid in 25x25 on the block and the rest is not showing.
Any help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Majin Buu
I think you should create another element for the orange square instead of editing the class of the h2 element because the background attribute it will be applied on that element, so I would make something like:
<div class="liquid"></div>
<h2>Liquid</h2>
.liquid {
float: left;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
}
To have the square floating to the left of the element.
Check out CSS position!
.liquid {
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
}
h2 {
position: relative;
margin-left: 30px;
}
<div class="liquid"></div><h2>Liquid</h2>
Use html like this
<div class="bg_white">
<span class="liquid"> </span><h2>Liquid</h2>
</div>
CSS
.bg_white{background:white; padding:5px; width:auto; float:left;}
.liquid {
display: inline-block;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
float:left;
font-size:18px;
}
.bg_white h2{float:left; margin:0px;}
Pseudo element is better for this solution:
h2 {
background: #eee;
padding: 5px;
display:inline-block;
}
.liquid::before {
content:'';
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
background: #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
}
<h2 class="liquid">Liquid</h2>
You are styling the font part of the wanted result itself. You should either add an element for the orange square or use a pseudo element. This will get you in the right direction.
.liquid {
line-height: 1;
}
.liquid:before {
background: #ff8125;
content: ''; /* important for pseudo elements */
display: inline-block;
height: .9em;
margin-right: .45em;
position: relative;
top: .1em;
width: .9em;
}
<h2 class="liquid">Liquid</h2>
you can use below CSS for this if text is small and always in one line.
.liquid {
display: inline-block;
padding-left: 10px;
border-left: 25px solid #ff8125;
margin-right: 15px;
font: 25px/25px Arial;
font-weight: bold;
}
<h2 class="liquid">Liquid</h2>

Div tag border with title

I need to display a border around a div tag with a title in the border itself. In order to do this, this is what I have come up with so far
.componentWrapper {
border: solid cadetblue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 10px;
width: 95%;
}
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
width: 15%;
background-color: white;
margin-top: -25px;
}
<div class='componentWraper'><p class='componentTitle'>This is the title</p>This is the component body text</div>
As you can see I am using margin property to push the title up on top of the border. I am not sure if this is the proper approach to do this and I have the following questions.
I am positioning the title using pixels (margin) and a fixed value (-25px). This is a site that has to work on mobile phones, tablets as well. Is this an acceptable approach?
I am setting the background-color to white so that the border does not appear behind the text, is this an ok approach?
Is there a better and more acceptable way to do this, I do not want to use fieldset because we have little control over the border (border-radius).
There are three logical ways you can use to achieve this.
You can use a <fieldset> with a legend which is the basic HTML way of doing this. You can find more information about this here.
Use custom CSS with positioning, not negative margins or etc.:
body {
background: #fff;
}
.componentWraper {
margin: 40px; /* just for contrast */
position: relative;
border: 2px solid tomato;
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 20px;
}
.componentWraper .componentTitle {
position: absolute;
top: -25px;
background: #fff;
padding: 0 10px;
}
<div class='componentWraper'>
<p class='componentTitle'>This is the title</p>This is the component body text</div>
Use custom CSS with pseudo-elements:
body {
background: #fff;
}
.componentWraper {
margin: 40px; /* just for contrast */
position: relative;
border: 2px solid tomato;
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 20px;
}
.componentWraper::before {
content: 'This is the title';
position: absolute;
top: -10px;
padding: 0 10px;
background: #fff;
}
<div class='componentWraper'>This is the component body text</div>
I think you're on the right track. I'd make a few changes to have more control over the styling. You can use ems or pixels.
Wrap the title and content in a new div and give that a negative margin:
<div class='componentWrapper'>
<div>
<div class='componentTitle'>This is the title</div>
<div class='componentContent'>
<p>This is the component body text</p>
</div>
</div>
.componentWrapper div {
margin-top: -1em;
}
Set your title to display: inline-block and use padding to control the white space around it (instead of using width)
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
background-color: white;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em;
}
codepen
snippet:
.componentWrapper {
border: solid cadetblue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 10px;
width: 95%;
margin-top: 1em;
}
.componentWrapper div {
margin-top: -1.2em;
}
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
background-color: white;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em .3em;
}
<div class='componentWrapper'>
<div>
<div class='componentTitle'>This is the title</div>
<div class='componentContent'>
<p>This is the component body text</p>
</div>
</div>
This is what I came up with. I wanted to get rid of the negative margin, but couldn't figure out a way to do that.
See the Pen offset title by Yvonne Aburrow (#vogelbeere) on CodePen.
HTML
<div class="componentWrapper">This is the component body text</div>
CSS
.componentWrapper {
border: 1px solid blue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 16px;
width: 95%;
margin: 3em;
}
.componentWrapper:before {
content: "this is the title";
font-size: 18px;
width: 10%;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid blue;
border-radius: 12px;
display: block;
margin-top: -29px;
padding: 3px;
}
I am not sure how a screen reader would deal with the title text being in the CSS (or how you would scale that up if you have a lot of different titles.

I have 2 questions based on the linked(or above) code.
The 5 container div's width was set as:
.itemnumber 6%, .userprofile 14%, .nameandcredit 45%, .ranktitle 15%, .usercredit 20%. So in total they are 100%. But as you see, the last one .usercredit is not in the same line and there're margins between each div, which is not what I want.
for the .username, I have set overflow:hidden, but as you see, when there's a large string, the .username was totally disappeared. If there're spaces in the string, it will only hide the overflow part and show the front part. I want to know what's the problem?
I know it's a little bit messed up of a lot code here. But my question is as listed as above. Thanks in advance for any kind suggestion.
For the spacing, you have two problems:
Implicit spaces between inline-block elements, and
Defining widths for elements with padding.
Regarding username overflow, you have one issue:
Default word wrapping behavior is to wrap the whole word to the next line. You need to change that behavior.
Let's take a look at each of them:
Implicit Spaces
The problem is that your divs have a display: inline-block; style. Elements displayed as an inline-block have any white-space between them converted to a single space.
See the "Fighting the Space Between Inline Block Elements" article on CSS Tricks for more information on how to overcome this.
One fix, for instance, is to have the li element that is wrapping the divs to have a 0 font-size, and reset a non-zero font size to its children, e.g. in your CSS:
.font-size-0 {
font-size: 0;
}
.font-size-0 > * {
font-size: 12px;
}
Any of the links outlined in the link above would work; for example, removing spaces and newlines between your closing tag and opening tag would do the same thing, without forcing you to set and reset the font-size.
Widths for elements with padding
In CSS, a width is defined by default for an element to include only its content area (box-sizing: content-box; by default) and not the padding. Set the box-sizing to border-box and you'll be all set.
E.g.
.font-size-0 > div {
box-sizing: border-size;
}
Properly wrapping a single word without spaces
See this StackOverflow answer to see how to address the issue. You will basically need to add this to your .username rule:
.username {
...
word-wrap:break-word;
}

Align div next to two other grouped div's

How can I get that yellow box aligned like on the picture? I tried some stuff with table cells but it kinda destroyed everything. I also played a bit with the float conditions but the results were horrible too. Can you help me?
Here's my code:
HTML
<div class="job_board">
<div class="job_box">
<span class="job_title_working_field"> <!-- Just made that span for grouping but it's unnecessary. -->
<div class="job_title"><h1>Product Development <span class="light">(m/w)</span></h1></div>
<div class="working_field">Fahrzeugtechnik · Mechatronik · Maschinenbau</div>
</span>
<div class="slide_button"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.light {
font-weight: normal;
}
.job_box {
width: 100%;
padding: 30px 50px;
background-color: #082730;
color: white;
text-align: center;
display: table;
}
.working_field {
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0;
font-size: 0.8em;
}
span.job_title_working_field {
table-cell;
}
.slide_button {
position: absolute;
width: 50px;
height: 100%;
background: yellow;
display: table-cell;
}
JSFiddle
Since .slide_button is within an element, you would simply relatively position the parent element:
.job_box {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
padding: 30px 50px;
background-color: #082730;
color: white;
text-align: center;
display: table;
font-family: "Helvetica", sans-serif;
}
And then absolutely position the yellow .slide_button element at the top/right - relative to the parent.
UPDATED EXAMPLE HERE
.slide_button {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
width: 50px;
height: 100%;
background: yellow;
}
If you look at the above example, you will notice that a horizontal scrollbar is present. If you want to remove this, use box-sizing:border-box in order to include the padding within the .job_box element's dimension calculations.
UPDATED EXAMPLE HERE
.job_box {
box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
}
It's also worth noting that I removed the default 8px margin on the body element.. body{margin:0}
I changed the markup order a little and updated the css
you are combining too many styles: table-cell + absolute + float don't mix well

CSS to always center text in a page

I am trying to add text to center of the page. Even if a user try to resize the page, text in the page should be aligned to center. I am close to the solution but missing some position in the code. Here is my code. Any help would be highly appreciated.
html code
<div class="errorMessageContainer">
<div class="errorMessageIcon">
:(
</div>
<div class="errorMessageHeaderContainer">
<div class="errorMessageHeader">
I am trying to center me in a page.
</div>
<div class="errorMessageText">
<span class="errorMessageSubHeader">I want to float.</span>Even if page is restored or forced minimized. <span class="errorContact">Please </span> help me on this.
</div>
</div>
</div>
css code
body {
background-color: #666666;
}
.errorMessageContainer {
width: 620px;
margin: 200px 0 0 300px;
}
.errorMessageIcon {
font-family: Segoe UI Semibold;
font-size: 72px;
color: #29abe0;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
.errorMessageHeaderContainer {
display: inline-block;
width: 500px;
padding: 20px 0 0 30px;
}
.errorMessageHeader {
font-family: Segoe UI Light;
font-size: 28px;
color: #ffffff;
}
.errorMessageSubHeader {
font-weight: bold;
}
.errorMessageText {
font-family: Segoe UI;
font-size: 13px;
color: #ffffff;
width: 450px;
}
.errorContact a {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: underline;
}
this will put your message container in center of the page :
.errorMessageContainer {
width: 620px;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -310px;
margin-top: -50px;
}
see the fiddle
Try this:
.errorMessageContainer {
width: 620px;
margin: 200px auto 0;
}
You can use margin: 200px auto 0 auto; for the .errorMessageContainer see fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/DSATE/
.errorMessageContainer{
position: absolute;
height: 200px;
width: 400px;
margin: -100px 0 0 -200px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
}
The best approach is to set up your display and margins correctly. Do not set values for this otherwise it will fail if the div changes in size. heres an example I made up using a div wrapper and the value display:table-cell
