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 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'm new to design and I need to place the two imgs beside each other, with some space between.
This is what currently my site looks: Dont worry about the cut off, it is suppose to be like that. I need to prepare this to allow me to later on add responsive elements on to it so I cannot use absolute positions or anything that will lock the image into place.
Both Images are the same height at 125 px. When I float both the pictures left or right, the pictures appear 95% cut off at the edges of my webpage. I dont understand why it's being place underneath each other, there seems to be plenty of room for the second image to be on the same level.
Heres what I have so far: "navi" is my container or wrapper... mainlogo and slidertop i used to experiment and currently have no code under each.
<div id="navi">
<div id="mainlogo"><header></header></div>
<div id="slidertop"><header id="topad"></header></div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>
#navi{
height: 130px;
}
#mainlogo{
}
#slidertop{
}
This is how Im calling my images:
header{
background: url(../Images/logo1.gif) no-repeat 15% 0px;
border: none;
height: 125px;
top:100px;
}
header#topad{
background: url(../Images/TopAd.gif) no-repeat 80% 0px;
border: none;
height: 125px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
In the original code you posted, I think the divs are all 100% of the available width, and they will appear on top of each other on the page. You can see this for yourself if you temporarily add a coloured border around each div so you can see where they are.
If you want them side by side, you have to add styles to accomplish this. For example, you could float them and specify the widths:
header { width: 45%; float: left; }
header#topad { float: right;}
E.g.: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/ynuoa
Have you tried floating the divs?
#mainlogo{
float: left;
}
#slidertop{
float: left;
}
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%;
I've found a lot of similar questions, and tried out several solutions (including some of the so-called "holy grail" CSS layouts), but they don't quite do what I need.
I have a containing div (a CSS containing block) with id right. Inside it on the left side, I want a fixed-width div (a splitter bar, but it doesn't matter what it's being used for; id splitpane); on the right, filling the rest of the space, another div (id right-box below).
I've tried making the two inner divs display: inline-block (with vertical-align: top), setting the left one to width: 3px, but then there's no way to set the right to have width 100% - 3px. I've also tried using the float: left/margin-left: -100%/margin-left: 3px trick, but it has the same problem: the 100% plus the 3px overflows the parent containing block and causes a scroll bar to pop up. (Of course, it's not the scroll bar per se that's the problem; I could use overflow: hidden to remove it, but then content on the right would be truncated.)
Currently I'm using width: 99.5% for the right div, but that's a terrible hack (and is subject to overflow depending on screen width). It looks a bit like this:
<div id="right"><div id="splitpane"></div><div id="right-box">
...
</div></div>
With CSS as follows (float version, but the inline-block version is similar):
#right {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
width: 85%; /* this is part of a larger div */
}
#right-box {
width: 99.5%; /* stupid hack; actually want 100% - 3px for splitter */
height: 100%;
}
#splitpane {
float: left;
width: 3px;
height: 100%;
background: white;
border-left: solid gray 1px;
border-right: solid gray 1px;
cursor: e-resize;
}
Is it even possible to do this? This is for an internal app., so solutions only need to work in Firefox 3 (if they are specific to FF3, though, preferably it's because the solution is standards-compliant but other browsers aren't, not because it's using Firefox-only code).
DIVs are the wrong element type for this since they don't "talk" to each other. You can achieve this easily with a table:
<table style="width:200px">
<tr>
<td id="splitpane" style="width: 3px">...</td>
<td id="rightBox" style="width: 100%">...</td>
<tr>
</table>
The 100% will make the rightBox as wide as possible but within the limits of the table.
This is possible. Because block level elements automatically expand to take up any remaining horizontal space, you can utilise a block level element next to an uncleared floated element with your desired width.
<style type="text/css">
div {
height: 100px;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
}
#left {
background: #FF0;
}
#splitpane {
position: relative;
float: right;
background: #000;
width: 3px;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="splitpane"></div>
<div id="left"></div>
</div>
See http://jsfiddle.net/georeith/W4YMD/1/
why you didn't use margin-left (since it was float layout) on right box?
so no need to create a splitter div...
#right{
width:200px; /*specify some width*/
}
#rightbox{
float:left;
margin-left: 3px; /*replace the splitter*/
/*margin: 0 3px; /*use this to give left & right splitter*/ */
}
yeah something like that, i hate empty div, it's not semantic and it's like putting a splitter on the "old" table way
If the div #right-box is only going to contain non-floated content it might be an idea to just put the content inside #right instead and let it wrap around the floated #splitpane.
How can I get an image to stretch the height of a DIV class?
Currently it looks like this:
However, I would like the DIV to be stretched so the image fits properly, but I do not want to resize the `image.
Here is the CSS for the DIV (the grey box):
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
}
The CSS being applied on the image:
.product{
display: inline;
float: left;
}
So, how can I fix this?
Add overflow:auto; to .product1
In the markup after the image, insert something like <div style="clear:left"/>. A bit messy, but it's the easiest way I've found.
And while you're at it, put a bit of margin on that image so the text doesn't butt up against it.
Assuming #John Millikin is correct, the code
.product + * { clear: left; }
would suffice to do the same thing without forcing you to manually adjust the code after the div.
One trick you can use is to set the <div>'s overflow property to hidden. This forces browsers to calculate the physical size of the box, and fixes the weird overlap problem with the floated image. It will save you from adding in any extra HTML markup.
Here's how the class should look:
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This looks like a job for clearfix to me ...
Try the following:
.Strech
{
background:url(image.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:500px;
height:500px;
}
display:inline
float:left
is your problem
Floating makes the parents width not be stretched by the child, try placing the image without the float. If you take the float off, it should give you the desired effect.
Another approach would be to make sure you are clearing your floats at the end of the parent element so that they don't scope creep.
Update: After viewing your link Your height issue as displayed, is because the floats are not being cleared.
