So I am making a little site just for fun - and to learn HTML a little better.
I have four divs. I want the to be arranged kind of like a collage. I have three of them in the perfect positions, but the fourth one does not show up at all unless I make the other three invisible with display:none in the CSS...
Anyone know why this would happen? Im using Chromium on Ubuntu.
<body>
<center>
<div id="content1">
</div>
<div id="content2">
</div>
<div id="content3">
</div>
<div id="cont4">
THIS ONE DOESN'T SHOW UP.
</div>
</center>
</body>
Here is the CSS:
#content1{
width:230px;
height: 160px;
background-color:blue;
border-radius:10px;
position: relative;
left: -240px;
}
#content2{
width:230px;
height: 350px;
background-color:red;
margin-top: 10px;
border-radius:10px;
position: relative;
left: -240px;
}
#content3{
width:230px;
height: 520px;
background-color:red;
border-radius:10px;
position: relative;
top: -520px;
}
#cont4{
width:230px;
height: 350px;
background-color:purple;
position: relative;
left: 240px;
}
From what I saw in Chrome and Firefox, cont4 is showing up, but it's way down on the page (you have to scroll to see it). I don't know exactly where you want it, but adding top: -1040px aligns it at the top of the page with the rest of the divs.
#cont4{
width:230px;
height: 350px;
background-color:purple;
position: relative;
left: 240px;
top: -1040px;
}
Give #cont4 a top: -1040px;. This means, for the previous div, you applied a -520px top to make it align top. So this lengh + height of that div (520+520=1040) is required for your purple div to appear. Here is the demo.
But this is not my solution. Use margin-top: -520px; instead of top: -520px; to your third div. This will shift the fourth div along with the third div. But top wont do this. top is for tweak an element with use of position property. margin-top is for measuring the external distance to the element, in relation to the previous one.
Also, top behavior can differ depending on the type of position, absolute, relative or fixed.
Here is the corrected demo
The tag center is deprecated as Jared Farrish said. Actually, you should use CSS more carefully to get this types of layouts. There are lots of example is available. Trying to search with "Multi Column Layout with CSS". You can check THIS tutorial.
Also, THIS is very useful resource. THIS tool is interesting one. You can check this as well.

I've run into a bit of a snag whilst developing the frontend for a website. I'm competent with CSS, but not fantastic. Anyway, I've created a jsFiddle here that illustrates my problem.
On each page of my website, at the top of the content section, I have a banner image. I wish to put a two colour divider seperating this banner from the content. (As is shown in the mockup my designer gave me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d9opotyiyp0yc9o/menus.jpg)
I'd like to do this in pure CSS+HTML, without just chucking an image in. Anyway, I've done so using the following code:
<img class="banner" src="http://regency.ymindustries.com/static/images/winelist.jpg" style="width: 100%;">
<div>
<div style="width:30%; height: 10px; display: inline-block; background: #6C210C"></div><div style="width:70%; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"></div>
</div>
(Please forgive the inline CSS, it's just for demonstration purposes. Also, unfortunately, if I put the second div on a newline and indent it, it creates whitespace)
The issue I'm having is that there is a large gap between the divider and the image. I have tried adding margin: 0px and padding: 0px to all the relevant elements, and the whitespace is still there.
Could someone help me out please?
Thanks,
YM
To me it's a vertical alignment issue. You can try
.banner {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
div {
height: 10px;
vertical-align: top;
}
That way you don't have to use negative margins (which aren't wrong, just controversial practice).
Check it out here
you can make the position relative and then set the top to something minus. ex:
position: relative;
top:-10px;
left:0px;
this is actually float problem
<img class="banner" src="http://regency.ymindustries.com/static/images/winelist.jpg">
<div style="">
<div style="float:left;width:30%; height: 10px; display: inline-block; background: #6C210C"></div><div style="width:70%;float:left; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"></div>
</div>
css
.banner {
width:100%;
float:left;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/eLbUU/4/
using display block and floating the divs, also making sure the img itself is display block with overflow hidden I was able to tighten up the stripes to the img : fiddle
.banner {
width:100%;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
div div{
float: left;
}
First of all, put the darker brown in the lighter brown div. That way, when the window is re-sized, you don't compromise the sizing percentage and/or spacing.
<div style="width:100%; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"> <div style="width:30%; height: 10px; background: #6C210C;"></div></div>
And with the space, you can either use negative margins or floats like others have mentioned.
.banner {
width:100%;
/* margin-bottom to the banner is negative which moves the div upward */
margin-bottom: -10px;
}
fiddle here
Putting display: block; for the image class and float:left; for all other elements may help.
.banner {
width:100%;
display:block;
float:left;
}

I am trying to put some HTML text over an image that has been popped out using lightbox effect. For this i am using 3
box - the popped out div with lightbox effect
address_box - the div inside the box which is nothing but an outline image
address - i want this div to be imposed upon the address_box image
HTML:
<div class="box">
<div id="move_in_img"><img src="img/ready-to-move-in.gif" /></div>
<div id="address_box"><img src="img/address-box.png" />
<div id="address">The address text
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.box
{
position:absolute;
top:20%;
left:12%;
text-align:center;
width:940px;
height:321px;
background:#F9E5B9;
z-index:51;
padding:10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
display:none;
}
.box #move_in_img{
float:left;
margin-left:20px;
margin-top:50px;
}
#address_box{
position:relative;
}
#address{
position:absolute;
}
the "box" properties are set to give it a lightbox effect and i cant change it from absolute to relative. I have searched a lot and experimented with positioning and z-index but all failed. The text simply appears below the address_box.
What i am trying to do is implement lightbox effect but dont want the text to be displayed as image. M i taking the right approach or there is a better way ??
Here is the paste bin link http://jsbin.com/anehey/1/edit
Just picked a sample image from net for the frame. I want the text to go inside the frame..
Am not getting the thing you are trying to do here as no working demo is provided, generally when you want to do such thing, use position: relative; for the container div and use position: absolute; width: 100%; & bottom: 0; for the imposed text div
HTML
<div class="container">
<img src="#" />
<div class="text"></div>
</div>
CSS
.container {
position: relative;
/*Set Height Width Accordingly*/
}
.text {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: /*Whatever*/;
width: 100%;
}
Demo (Not related to my answer but I fixed what he was asking for)
I''m looking to move an image of a saw in between two borders so it is looks likes this.
I believe I have centered the image correctly but it appears I haven't and I am loathe to use padding if that is not right way, as I want this to be semantic as possible for a responsive design. I also need it to be placed within the two borders with one border stacked in front. Presumably I need use z-index to do that but I haven't got that far.
JsFiddle
Are you looking for something like this:
See Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/rathoreahsan/Fcn96/
Hi Played with positioning and tried to make the results as per your referred image requirement. I hope this will help you.
CSS
#logo-container .saw {
left: 50%;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
top: 46px;
}
#tag-container {
border: 2px solid #00AC9D;
height: 150px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
position: relative;
width: 1140px;
}
see the demo:- http://jsfiddle.net/RJVXE/16/
You need to utilize both z-index and positioning.
.line
{
height:1px;
width:100%;
background:#000;
position:absolute;
left:0px;
}
.item1
{
top:5px;
z-index:5;
}
.item3
{
top:25px;
z-index:15;
}
<div style="width:100%; position:relative">
<div class="line item1"></div>
<div style="position:absolute; top:0px;left:50px;z-index:10">
<img src="saw.png" />
</div>
<div class="line item3"></div>
</div>
(example uses both inline & blocked CSS references only for brevity. Stay away from inline CSS).
You could tryo what AlphaMale suggestes here: How to center image in a div horizontally and vertically
Before your image include a 'span' tag. Then add this properties to 'saw' class:
#logo-container .saw {
text-align: center;
margin-bottom:-50px!important;
}
The !important is to override margin: 0 auto that actually has.

Goal:
A CSS two column layout with main content in the flow first followed by left nav (see example code). This is probably easier than I think but I could not find any clear cut example here or online. The left nav has to have a fixed width.
I would like to position the left nav and main content areas as you would expect (left nav then main content). This is for SEO purposes to place the content as high up in the flow as possible then position it appropriately. I need to have this work in IE6 as well. The main content area needs to expand with the browser window. With my current version the left nav is absolute positioned and overlaps the main content container. Thanks in advance for all you CSS gurus!!! Hopefully this can be of use to others as well.
<style>
.clearly {clear: both; font-size: 1px;}
.contentContainer {border:1px solid; width:800px;}
.leftNav {width:200px;background-color:#CCC;position:absolute;}
.mainContent { position:relative;left:200px;width:100%;float:left;background-color:#A6C9FF;}
</style>
<div class="contentContainer">
<div class="mainContent">
Relative Main Content - Width 100%
</div>
<div class="leftNav">
Absolute Left Nav<br />
Absolute Left Nav<br />
Absolute Left Nav<br />
</div>
<div class="clearly"> </div>
</div>
Drop the containing div.
html, body { width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; margin:0; padding: 0; }
.mainContent
{
position: absolute;
left: 200px;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
overflow: auto;
}
.leftNav{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 200px;
}

P.S. this has an advantage over the other answer in that any backgrounds applied to either nav or content areas will always fill the page. This is usually what is expected from the designer.
Edit
Just noticed that you need a fixed width on the container. Add .container to the html,body list above, then also add another rule to ste it's width to 100%;
Is this what you are after:
http://jsfiddle.net/Mutant_Tractor/8uws6/
Simple semi-fluid + fixed layout:
Fluid column:
padding-left: 170px;
Fixed:
width:150px;
float:left;
background:red;
position:absolute;
I am trying to get my right sidebar to fill to extend the full length of the content within my #wrapper on this site: http://www.starmedianetwork.com/
I put a red border around it to try to see where my #right is on my page. I have tried working with:
height:100% on that #right and others. Also searched on google about clear fixes but I couldn't get that too work, also came across some solutions on experts-exchange, but those didnt work.
Any ideas how I can get my sidebar to extend with the background-color to fit the length?
You could try this approach: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/multicolumnlayouts/
You can achieve this with a faux sidebar:
<div class="sidebar_back"><.div>
<div class="sidebar">
<p>The sidebar content</p>
</div>
With this css:
.sidebar_back {
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
z-index: -1;
width: 200px;
background: #444; // the color you want the sidebar to be
position: absolute;
}
.sidebar {
float: left;
width: 180px;
padding: 10px;
}
The .sidebar_back will extend all the way to the bottom of the page, so just give that the color that you'd like the sidebar to be, and the actual sidebar div will appear to be full-height. You can use a percentage-based width instead of pixels too. Here's a codepen showing an example:
http://codepen.io/poopsplat/full/jquBv
You cannot get a div to fill the height of it's parent. It may work in one browser, but I've had this problem and it is not simply solved by a height:100%.
You can simulate the background by creating a background that tiles all the way down the side. This isn't the most elegant solution.
The only other solution I have found is to use javascript. After the page loads, you can set the height of the div to precisely what it needs to be based upon the height of the div that you want it to expand within.
There may be some javascript libraries out there to assist you with positioning of this troublesome div, but I can't conjure up one at the moment.
I haven't tried this, but...it feels like it should work (which of course is likely the kiss of death to the attempt):
#wrapper
{position: fixed;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
display: block;
width: 100%;
background-color: #ffa;
}
#right {position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 15%; /* this has to be fixed-size so you can account
for it in the next bit; but can still be kinda
fluid-ish... */
display: block;
background-color: #ccc;
overflow: auto;
}
#left {width: 83%; /* 100 - (15% + 2% (for a gutter)) */
margin-left: 1%;
margin-right: 16%; /* less than 100 - 83, to allow for rounding of % or px */
display: block;
background-color: #0ff;
overflow: auto;
}
p {display: block;
margin: 0.5em;
padding: 0.2em 0.5em;
}
...
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left">
<p>The left-hand content</p>
</div>
<div id="right">
<p>The right-hand content</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
It's not terribly pretty, but it does work. Though I'm not a fan of using position: absolute (or fixed) so if anyone's got a better suggestion I'd go for it =)
Incidentally, there's working demo of the implementation (with added 'lorem ipsum' goodness) over at: http://www.davidrhysthomas.co.uk/so/cols.html.
(Okay, I lied: I clearly have tried it now...)
Here is the way I have found to solve this issue:
You have to use four div tags - one main container which contains the sidebar, the main content, and a footer.
First, add and style the elements in your stylesheet:
#container {
width: 100%;
background: #FFFAF0;
}
.content {
width: 950px;
float: right;
padding: 10px;
background: #FFFAF0;
}
.sidebar {
width: 220px;
float: left;
padding: 5px;
background: #FFFAF0;
}
#footer {
clear:both;
background:#FFFAF0;
}
You can edit the different elements however you want to, just be sure you dont change the footer property "clear:both" - this is very important to leave in.
Then, simply set up your web page like this:
<div id=”container”>
<div class=”sidebar”></div>
<div class=”content”></div>
<div id=”footer”></div>
</div>
I wrote a more in-depth blog post about this at [http://blog.thelibzter.com/how-to-make-a-sidebar-extend-the-entire-height-of-its-container][1]. Please let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps!
I solved my sidebar problem for my admin page using jQuery with just a couple of lines of code
$('aside').height($(window).height()-($('#header').height()+$('#secondary_bar').height())-2); // Extend sidebar to bottom of viewport
$(window).resize(function(){
$('aside').height($(window).height()-($('#header').height()+$('#secondary_bar').height())-2); //change size of bar when viewport height changes
$('#main').height($(window).height()-($('#header').height()+$('#secondary_bar').height())-2); //change size of main content when size of viewport changes
});
It seems to work in all browsers, however, when the content on the right is larger then the viewport and issue will occur when you scroll down. It can be fixed with some content height checks but for me it doesn't matter. Hope that helps someone out there =)
