So using PHP I am displaying a page of images. I have a div tag for containing these pictures.
What Im trying to do, is alternate positioning these images on the left and right side of the browser.
So entry 1 is positioned on the left
scrolling down
entry 2 is positioned on the right
etc.
If my div container is style="position:relative;width=100%"
How do I make my images alternate hugging the left and side of the browser?
There are several possible ways, one would be the following:
CSS:
div img{
float:left;
clear:both;
}
div img:nth-of-type(2n){
float:right;
}
Check the Example
If you dont want them alternate that way, use
div img{
float:left;
clear:left;
}
div img:nth-of-type(2n){
float:right;
clear:right;
}
Depending on the browsers you have to support (Internet Explorer 8 and lower don't support that selector), use a class on all even images and replace :nth-of-type(2n) with that class.
for the left-huggers:
style="float:left;clear:left;"
and for the right-huggers
style="float:right;clear:right;"
...though if your container is not wide enough to fit more than 2 images across, you won't need the "clear" declarations.
Set float: left; when index%2 == 0 and float: right; when index%2==1
index being an index variable of a loop iterating over your images.
In a similar vein to the other answers
div img:nth-child(even) { float: right; clear: right; }
div img:nth-child(odd) { float: left; clear: left; }

I have this site header I'm working on but I can't get the logo and the site title to line up horizontally. I'm relatively new to CSS so would appreciate any hand-holding anyone can offer please ;-)
The logo image is styled with:
.logo {
float:left;
}
Whereas the h1.site-title and h2.site-description text is styled thus:
h1.site-title, h2.site-description {
position:relative;
margin-left: 130px; !important
}
I'm pretty sure I need to make another DIV and can't get the positioning right so the logo is at the left, then immediately next to it the site title/description.
(it should be #logo) Floating them both left works
#logo {
float: left;
}
.home-link {
float: left;
}
and remove the margin-left
There are a couple of things that I would recommend changing:
In your HTML, you have logo set to an ID, so in your CSS it should use a # instead of a period.
You do not need to tag qualify your classes in your CSS, meaning the h1 and h2 are not needed, just .site-title and .site-description should work.
Avoid using !important whenever possible. It makes your code very hard to adjust later.
instead of working with .site-title and .site-description work with their wrapping container, .home-link. Float both it and #logo left.
If you want them to line up side by side, you will have to change the width of home-link to something smaller than 100%.
remove the margin-left.
so your CSS would look like this:
#logo { float: left; }
.home-link { float: left; width: 75%; }
I'm really working hard on this thing but I can't figure out how to create this through CSS.
Basically on this website here I'm trying to add images to go outside of the main-content background as you can see on this image below. Where it says "Lattest Lessons" (sorry for the typo) or where it says Receive our newsletter.
Does anybody have a club? I'm lost!
Here is some code:
.main-content {
position:relative;
z-index:100;
padding:1em 0 8.5em 0;
background:#fff;
}
.main-content p {
color:#555;
}
.site-wrap {
position:relative;
min-height:100%;
}
What I would recommend doing is creating a div in the background that looks like this:
HTML:
<div id="backgrounddiv">
</div>
So the HTML is really easy. Don't put anything in those divs. Now for the CSS:
CSS:
#backgrounddiv {
length:100%; //spans length of page
width:100%; //spans width of page
z-index:1; //makes sure background is behind all the other objects
background-color: #000; //black background
position: absolute; //isn't affected or doesn't get affected by other elements
}
What you're likely looking for is positioning the element correctly. This can either be relative or absolute positioning based on your needs. In either case, ensure that the PARENT container is a positioned element (in your example it is: relative)
See this fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/callseng/UUxqG/
The paragraph with class 'move-left' is housed inside of the main-content element, it is relatively positioned and then pushed to the left by 25px.
position:relative;
left: -25px;
I have 2 divs. I want 1 div to be on the left side of my window and the other on the right side. I did this correctly with my logo and a little text next to it. However, under that I would like to have yet another 2 divs. I put those 2 divs in 1 div with style clear:both; this div lines up nicely under the two others. But once I do float: right; with the 2nd div, it goes outside the main div... Why?
The code:
(This should be lined up to the left)
#menu {
background-color:#485D9C;
margin-left:10px;
text-align:center;
width: 200px;
position:absolute;
float:left;
}
(This should be lined up to the right)
#content {
text-align:right;
width:600px;
position:absolute;
float:right;
}
(This is the div where both "content" and "menu" are in)
#middle {
clear:both;
border: thick solid;
position:relative;
}
Do you have an example ? With this little test: http://jsfiddle.net/BouFe/uHJQB/1/ it works !
Whenever I am using floats, I put a div, with "clear: both;" applied to it, inside of the container that holds the elements that have the float applied to them. An example of this can be found here, which I think is what you were looking for.
try placing an outer div and set the position: relative; and the inner elements mark their position as absolute
Don't know exactly what's going on without seeing your code, but I'm wondering if you're simply just no clearing your floats?

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>

I acomplished what I want using display table, table row and table cell in my divs.
Take a look. It's exactily what I want.

I have two floated collumns side by side. The user can hide/collapse one of that collumns. In that case I want the other collumn to expand to fit the entire container.
Is this possible with CSS?
In resume, it's possible to make a float to expand to the size of it's container?
Even if the element is floated, if it has width:auto it should expand. At least that´s way I think it should work.
Nup, I don't think the accepted answer actually works. I was just attempting the same thing, and this is the solution...
.left {
float: left;
}
.right {
overflow: hidden;
/* don't float this one */
}
Play around with the code here: http://jsfiddle.net/simoneast/qPHgR/2/
set overflow:auto; height:auto; for floatet element
:)
If your left column has an implicit size, say 250px and your right column is ONLY floated with no set size, then it should fill the container when the left column is collapsed. Code would be as follows:
#leftcol{
width:250px;
float:left;
clear:none;
}
#rightcol{
float:left;
overflow:hidden;
width:auto; /* This may or may not work */
}
