Delete white space between divs - css

I'm getting some strange whitespace between two divs I have.
Each div has the css property display: inline-block and each have a set height and width.
I cannot find where the whitespace is.
Here is a Fiddle

You get whitespace there because you have whitespace inbetween the divs. Whitespace between inline elements is interpreted as a space.
You have:
<div id="left_side">
<div id="plan">
<h1>div 1</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div id="right_side">
<div id="news">
<h1>div 2</h1>
</div>
</div>
Change for:
<div id="left_side">
<div id="plan">
<h1>div 1</h1>
</div>
</div><div id="right_side">
<div id="news">
<h1>div 2</h1>
</div>
</div>
However, this is a bad way to do what you want to do.
You should float the elements if thats what you want to do.

Use:
float:left;
clear:none;
In both div

If you want to retain your coding layout, avoid floats and keep each div on it's own line entirely...
<div id="leftSide">Some content here</div><!--
--><div id="rightSide">Some more content here</div>

Only add this to your CSS
h1 {
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
Space between div is only due to h1 Margin and Padding

This does the trick:
<div id="left_side">
...
</div><div id="right_side">
...
</div>
Notice how the right-side div starts immediately after the closing tag of the left-side div. This works because any space between the elements, since they are now inline, would become a space in the layout itself. You can mirror this behavior with two span elements.
Demo.

You can also add display: flex; to the divs' parent container (in this case, body). Fiddle.

best way is settings parent element's font-size to 0 then normal font-size to child elements inside that parent (otherwise inherits zero from parent)

Floated both of the elements left, also made the 30% width into 40% to fill all the space, but this isn't necessary. Please be aware, "inline-block" isn't supported by IE7 but can be fixed with a workaround.

Move these statements onto the same line:
</div><div id="right_side">

Tried using float instead of "inline-block", no problems. Just changed the display:inline-block to:
#left_side {float: left;}
and
#right_side {float: right; margin-right: 10%}
No apparent problems. Could be wrong.

Don't know why but I resolved this problem by adding border: 1px solid red;(vertical) and float: left;(horizontal) to related DIV style statement and white-spaces removed.

Parent div set to font-size: 0px and chiilds to wanted size like 17px :)

How to resize the width of div left to another which has float:left;?

I still have problem to well understand how the float property works in CSS. I do apologize because I know this is css basics but I really want to understand that and get a good explanation. I've created an example to show you.
Here is my page :
I just want to resize the second div at the right. When I look at it in the Chrome Developer Tools, I see that this div begins at the top left of the window and not after the red square. I'd like it to begins just after the red square to change the width properly without calculating the size of the square and doing something like
width = square size + width i want
Do you know how this it happens and how to properly resize the width of the second div ?
EDIT: the solution consists in add the float property to the second div too. The explanation is the following : floated elements are removed from the flow, so they don't stack with the non-floated elements.
You need to set float for another div too.
We generally do like below:
html
<div class="float-left">
<p>floated left</p>
</div>
<div class="float-left"><!--- to float next to previous div--->
<p>floated left</p>
</div>
css
.float-left{
float: left;
}
As per your comment:
We do clear the float values because the container contents would never been collapsed.
You need to float the second div.
Heres an example.
<div class="parent-div">
<div class="left">
</div>
<div class="left">
<p>This is the description of the image</p>
</div>
</div>
You need to set
p { display:inline; }
or
div { display:inline; }
since paragraphs and divs are block elements.
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visuren.html#block-boxes
the reason is that floated elements are removed from the flow, so they don't stack with the non-floated elements. - therefore they don't "take up space" like before. This is why your text div starts at the top left of its container.
from MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/float
The float CSS property specifies that an element should be taken from the normal flow and placed along the left or right side of its container, where text and inline elements will wrap around it. A floating element is one where the computed value of float is not none.
You have to set float for both DIVs
Here is the updated code:
HTML:
<div id="main_container">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right">
<p>This is the description of the image <i>Random text</i>
</p>
</div>
<!--Comment below <DIV> to see the result-->
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
CSS
#main_container {
border:5px solid #000;
}
.left, .right {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: red;
float:left;
}
.right {
background: blue;
width: calc(100% - 100px);
}
.clear {
clear:both;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
Also, just to add one more important fact related to "float" is, make sure you add "clear:both" property after "float".
Why?? Because, a common problem with float-based layouts is that the floats' container doesn't want to stretch up to accomodate the floats. If you want to add, say, a border around all floats (ie. a border around the container) you'll have to command the browsers somehow to stretch up the container all the way.
Here is the Fiddle for the same: http://jsfiddle.net/1867ud9p/7/
Hope this will help!

CSS Positioning: Creating exact overlap with negative margin is off by several pixels

I have 2 divs I want to exactly overlap horizontally using negative margin-left.
HTML:
<div id=one></div>
<div id=two></div>
CSS:
body{margin:0px;padding:0px,border:0px}
#one {width:100px;height:100px;background-color:red;}
#two {width:100px;height: 50px;background-color:blue;}
#one,#two{display:inline-block;}
#two{margin-left:-100px;}
Before negative margin each div is 100px wide:
After negative margin the divs are 4px from overlapping exactly:
Why does setting a negative margin on the second div not cause it to exactly overlap the first div?
BTW, I'm just experimenting with margin-left...I know I can absolutely position the 2 divs inside a relative wrapper.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!
Inline elements are sensitive to their structure in your HTML. Since both divs are separated by a line break, they have a small "margin" between them like letters in a sentence would (which is pretty much the point of inline elements).
<div id=one></div> <!-- Here -->
<div id=two></div>
Change the structure of your HTML to remove this space:
<div id=one></div><div id=two></div>
Or you can use comments to negate the line break:
<div id=one></div><!--
--><div id=two></div>
Inline block has weird "bug" you could call it, that applies a 4px space between elements assuming a default font-size. This is created from the line-break between your div's. You'll find that you can fix this quite simply by making your negative higher.
margin-left: -104px;
This will fix your issue, but it's also not the only way to fix it.
You could do this... Instead of:
<div id=one></div>
<div id=two></div>
Delete the line-break between the div's so they are this:
<div id=one></div><div id=two></div>
This will also fix the issue.
You could alternatively set the font-size of their containing element to 0.
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div id=one></div>
<div id=two></div>
</div>
CSS:
.container { font-size: 0; }
But wait! There is more. You could comment out the line-break.
<div id=one></div><!--
--><div id=two></div>
You could drop the ending > to the beginning of the next element.
<div id=one></div
><div id=two></div>

How to do padding on a fluid row in twitter bootstrap

<div class="internal-wrapper row-fluid">
<div class="Header span12">
<div class="HeaderTitle span6"></div>
<div class="span6"></div>
</div>
</div>
Now, when I do padding on internal-wrapper, I am expecting the padding to effect on the entire grid! inside it. But an overflow is occurring (I think, the right padding is not working)
.internal-wrapper {
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 30px;
}
The blue bar below represents Header class. The green box, represents padding! So, Its happening on left but not right
.row-fluid is 100% width. Because it's using a border-box layout, any padding you put is added to that 100%. See http://paulirish.com/2012/box-sizing-border-box-ftw/. However, setting it to use the content-box model will probably cause other problems in Bootstrap.
How to fix it - add an inner element with the padding.
<div class="row-fluid">
<div style="padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px;">
...
</div>
</div>
I can't see (or discern) from your post what's wrong, but here's my guess: By placing padding on an element that Bootstrap sizes, you've altered its width. Try putting margin on .Header instead.

Extra space at the bottom of div float container

This is the current setup:
<div id="youtubelatestnews">
<div class="box youtubebox">
</div>
<div class="latestnews">
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
But the problem is the container <div> which is "youtubelatestnews" has too much space at the bottom.
Here's the site: http://voila.easywebprojects.com/
The <div>s I'm referring to are the sneak peek & Latest News portion.
The reason for the extra space is the clear div, which will clear below the elements on the left also.
You can remove the clear div, and use overflow: hidden; on the #youtubelatestnews div. As you don't have a height specified for it, the overflow style will only make the element contain its children.
Try to add float:left; style to youtubelatestnews div, it worked for me ;-)
The margin-bottom on .box-product > div plus the margin-bottom on .box are combining.
The extra space can be caused by the default height of clear item sometimes,
Try to add height:0px for the clear .

why div background does not contain inner element unless floated?

I have a block of html like this. Judging by the background color of the divs, the outer div is not containing the inner div, unless I remove "float:left" from the inner div, or add "float:left" to the outer div. Why is that? http://jsbin.com/ihiqoz/2/edit
<div style="width:900px; background-color:#1EFF1E">
<p>outside</p>
<div style="float:left; width: 25%; background-color:#BD78C8">
<p>inside</p>
</div>
</div>
You need to clear your float:
<div style="width:900px; background-color:#1EFF1E">
<p>outside</p>
<div style="float:left; width: 25%; background-color:#BD78C8">
<p>inside</p>
</div>
<div style="clear: left;"></div>
</div>
Floating elements break out of the layout, so your div doesn't get considered by the elements around it. The clear css property forces an element to move after the last floating element, so when you place an empty div below your floating element by giving it the clear style, the outer div will stretch to contain it.
#ray; if you have float in your child element so you have to clear it's parent so just write overflow:hidden in it's parent div to clear it.
For Example:
<div style="width:900px; background-color:#1EFF1E; overflow:hidden">
<p>outside</p>
<div style="float:left; width: 25%; background-color:#BD78C8">
<p>inside</p>
</div>
</div>
read this article for more http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html
You can also add <BR> at the end of the div, after the floated one.
Edit: You need to clear the div.
