I'm trying to use display: table with fieldset, but it's not scaling properly. The same thing works if I change <fieldset> to <div>.
I tried with Safari and Firefox.
Am I missing something?

Basically, the default rendering of fieldset can't actually be expressed in CSS. As a result, browsers have to implement it in non-CSS terms, and that interferes with application of CSS to the element.
Pretty much any element that can't be recreated using pure CSS will have issues of that sort.
The fieldset is an element with special behavior, so it is likely for this issue to occur.
Add another div wrapper inside your fieldset wrapper, and use the div. Change fieldset back to normal, or block.
<fieldset style="background: pink; width: 100%">
<div style="display: table; width: 100%">
<div style="display: table-cell; background: red; width: 33%">a</div>
<div style="display: table-cell; background: green; width: 33%">b</div>
<div style="display: table-cell; background: blue; width: 33%">c</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
When you change the width of the fieldset, you are changing the size of the border of it. Its function is to group elements and draw a border around them. Its size doesn't affects the content inside it. So, follow this.
.fieldset {
display: table;
padding:0;
border:none;
}
.div {
display:table-cell;
border: 1px solid black;
width:calc(100vw * 1/3);
}
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<div class="div">1</div>
<div class="div">2</div>
<div class="div">3</div>
</fieldset>

An Example: Only DIVs, that containing a LABEL should get the style text-align: right
Following try did not work:
div label:only-child {
text-align: right;
}
Not the label but the div should get this style.
you can use this way
div class="test" style="text-align:left"
div class="test" style="text-align:right"
The solution is to set the width of the label and display property to block. Here's the code
div{
width: 500px;
padding: 20px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
}
div>label:only-child{
text-align: right;
width: 100%;
display: block;
}
<div>
<label>adfasdf</label>
</div>
this cannot be done with CSS .
CSS = Cascading Style Sheets so by definition you can select elements from top to bottom of the HTML structure, not the other way around.
so you can't select a parent depending on it's children
you can do this with JQ , there are a number of ways to do it but this would be one of them :
$( "div:has(label)" ).css({ "text-align":"right" });
.div {
height:50px;
border:2px solid red;
margin:2px 0;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="div">
<label>Has Label</label>
</div>
<div class="div">
<p>
i am NOT a label
</p>
</div>
<div class="div">
<label>Has Label</label>
</div>
You can't style parent element based on child element using CSS.
Since, it seems that you are trying to align the label element to right, you can do that using float as shown below:
div label:only-child {
float: right; /* instead of text-align: right */
}
Updated (parent has flexbox layout):
div label:only-child {
flex: auto;
text-align: right;
}
You cant't do this in CSS only. Well, of course you can add class to div but there is no parent selector.
But there will be in the future (selectors lvl4 - see last row of selectors overview): https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors4/
I am trying to make a number of columns the same height, and have decided to go down the display:table CSS route.
<div class="header" style="display: table; width: 100%; background-color: yellow">
<div class="title" style="font-size: 30px; display: table-cell;">Navigation Title</div>
<div class="navigation" style="display: table-cell;">
<a class="navigation-link" style="background-color: red">Home</a>
<a class="navigation-link">About</a>
<a class="navigation-link">Contact</a>
</div>
</div>
I would like the navigation-links to the the full height of the header table (so as to add background-color to them), but the navigation seems to have some padding automatically added to the top and bottom. How would i set the height of navigation, and navigation-links to be the height of the header table.
I have tried using height:100% in various places but that did not seem to work (I am probably missing something). Here is a diagram to show what i mean:
Try to play with display: inline-block;, vertical-align: top;, padding-top and height of your navigation links:
.navigation {
...
vertical-align: top;
}
.navigation-link {
...
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
padding: 7px 5px;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/y8AF5/
This seems to solve your problem : DEMO
CSS
.navigation > a {
display:inline-block;
border:1px solid #CCC;
line-height:2.5em;
}
What you have done so far is styling the classes but no styling was done for a tag.
Now, the trick is to change the display type of a and using line-height to provide appropriate spacing of full height!!!
I've been searching for hours but I can't find a way to place 2 div's next to each other.
The below example works fine when the div's are smaller then the screen but when they are bigger then the screen they are below each other.
Also I would like the same classes for 2 pages:
1 page they both fit on the screen and I'd like to display them next to each other (not one on the left and one on the right)
the other page together they are bigger then the screen. (Sideways scrolling is no problem)
Take this example:
<style>
.wrapper
{
border:1px solid Red;
display: inline-block;
}
.left
{
float:left;
color: Green;
border:1px solid Green;
}
.right
{
float:right;
color: Blue;
border:1px solid Blue;
}
</style>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left">

In the actual design ASDF is replaced by a big <table>.
As I said above I've been searching for hours but can find a solution so I'm sorry if this has been asked before.
The wrapper div isn't necessary for the two to be lined up, but if you have it for other reasons (like a border, background, etc.), then it does not need to be set to inline-block.
Nothing technically needs to float. inline-block has the same effect and is more appropriate. Having said that, one float is needed to make things as fluid as possible and will be mentioned in a second.
Something that makes this and other css magic involving inline-block tricky and error-prone is that the element is treated in some ways like an inline element and in other ways like a block. This is not cross-browser consistent. Generally, this means that it can have block-level styling (like border, and width), and inline-level styling. Generally people just think of it as blocks that fall horizontally, "in a line". But inline element properties from a wrapper div such as font-size and white-space come in to effect as well (which is just annoying).
Having said all of that, here is the bare-bones recipe for side-by-side block elements that exceed the browser window and are inside of a block-level wrapper:
The inner blocks need to be set to inline-block.
The outer wrapper needs to have white-space set to nowrap, just as if you wanted a long line of text to expand horizontally beyond the browser window.
The outer wrapper needs to be set to float: left; clear: both;, because otherwise the wrapper's width will not go past the window width. The alternative is to set the width of the wrapper, but if you don't know how far it will expand, the float will force the wrapper to automatically shrink or grow to the width of it's contents. The clear:both prevents the floating from affecting any surrounding elements.
So for the following HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left">ASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDF</div>
<div class="right">ASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDFASDF</div>
</div>
You would need the following CSS as a bare minimum:
.wrapper {
white-space: nowrap;
float:left;
clear: both;
}
.left, .right{
display: inline-block;
}
And then, for your example, you would add:
.wrapper {
border: 1px solid red;
}
.left
{
color: Green;
border:1px solid Green;
}
.right
{
color: Blue;
border:1px solid Blue;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/crazytonyi/jTknm/
This is one approach that could be used, coupling white-space: nowrap in the parent .wrapper element with display: inline-block in the child .left and .right elements:
.wrapper
{
/* other stuff */
white-space: nowrap;
}
.left
{
display: inline-block;
/* other stuff */
}
.right
{
display: inline-block;
/* other stuff */
}
JS Fiddle demo.
You can do this without floating by setting the inner divs to display: inline-block and letting the outer div have white-space: nowrap:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left">left</div><div class="right">right</div>
</div>
.wrapper { border: 1px red solid; white-space: nowrap }
.wrapper div { display: inline-block; width: 70% } /* 2*70% = 140% of .wrapper */
See it in action.
Be careful to not leave any whitespace between closing the first and opening the second div, because that will manifest as visible space in the render.
Erm, you need to use float:left for both them to begin with. Then force overflow:show for the wrapper or perhaps use the newer CSS 3 property overflow-x:scroll. Let me know if it still doesn't work.
Okay I have tested for you. The reason why this is not working is because you haven't specified fixed widths and some other stuff. Here is the working code:
<style>
.wrapper
{
border:1px solid Red;
width:100%;
overflow-x:scroll;
}
.left
{
float:left;
width:500px;
color: Green;
border:1px solid Green;
}
.right
{
float:left;
width:500px;
color: Blue;
border:1px solid Blue;
}
</style>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left">

<div class="clear" />
</div>
Then if you want to specify widths, either use Javascript to determine them on page load or use CSS.
Your divs need widths, try:
<div id="left"><p>Some content here...</p></div>
<div id="right"><p>Some content here...</p></div>
<style>
#left, #right { float:left; color: Green; border:1px solid Green; width:49%; }
#left { margin-right:1%; }
</style>
I have a div which wraps a number of images that are generated dynamically. I don't know how high the list of images is. My problem is the div that contains the dynamically generated images doesn't behave like it is housing any content - I want it to extend to the height of the list of images. Each image is itself wrapped in a div.
This is the wrapper div:
.block { padding:10px; margin-top:10px; height:auto; background-color:#f9f9f9; }
This is the markup dynamically generated for (one of) the images:
<div class="block">
<div style="float: left; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;"><IMG SRC="45.jpg" BORDER="0"/></div>
.....
How do I get the block div to extend down with the images?
Thanks
The problem you're observing happens when you float an element, which takes it out of the normal flow of the elements (by normal flow I mean the way the elements would appear with no styling). When you float an element, the other elements still in the normal flow will simply ignore it and do not make room for it, which is why your block div does not extend the full height of your image.
There are a few different solutions:
1) Add the rule overflow: hidden; to the block class:
.block { overflow: hidden; padding:10px; margin-top:10px; height:auto; background-color:#f9f9f9; }
2) Add a element after your image that clears the floating:
<div class="block">
<div style="float: left; padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;"><IMG SRC="images/login1.png" BORDER="0"/></div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
Both will work, but I prefer the first solution.
REMOVE float:left from Image style and height:Auto from block style
ADD display:inline-block; in block style (container style)
I had the same problem. I got the wrapper element to wrap the content by setting the wrapper element's display to "table". So for your situation try
.block {padding:10px; margin-top:10px; height:auto; background- color:#f9f9f9; display: table;}
Add this in your CSS file:
.group:after { content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .group {display: inline-block;}
/* Hides from IE-mac \*/ * html .group {height: 1%;} .group {display: block;} /* End hide from IE-mac */
And add the "group" class to your block div so the float is cleared:
<div class="block group">
...
Add the following code in your css:
.block::after{
content : '';
clear : both;
display : block;
}
It will solve your problem.
It just inserts a blank "after" the block class.
I have a div tag that expands (horizontally and vertically) depending what I have in it. I have:
<div id="summary" style="float:right;margin:5px 5px 0;" ALIGN="right">
I also put a table within it to hold all my information:
<table style="margin-left:1em; border:2px solid #000000; background-color:#f2f2f2; padding:1px; float:center; clear:right; font-size:85%;">
How can i set content to overflow in fieldset?
It works in IE but not in FF.
Same functionality I can achieve with div element in both browsers.
Sample:
<fieldset style="border:thin solid #990033;">
<legend>test</legend>
<div style="background-color:#0033FF; height: 30px; width:800px;" >FIXED DIV</div>
</fieldset>
<p> </p>
<div style="border:1px solid #999999; padding:0 8px 8px 8px;">
<label style="background-color:#FFFFFF; padding:0 5px; position:relative; top:-10px;" >test</label>
<div style="background-color:#0033FF; height: 30px; width:800px;" >FIXED DIV</div>
</div>
Found solution, add conditional css style:
fieldset {
display: table-column;
}
<!–[if IE]>
fieldset {
display: block;
}
<![endif]–>
This is actually a bug in Firefox and it exists for almost 8 years. :D
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261037
From a blog post by Emil Björklund:
body:not(:-moz-handler-blocked) fieldset {
display: table-cell;
}
you don't need to overflow the content! In IE(6), by default, the "fieldset" tag has no padding, in FF it has! That is why you have a different behavior!
You can reset the padding (padding:0px;) of the fieldset but in this case, in FF, the label doesn't look fine! To fix that, you can reset the padding-bottom of the fieldset and apply a "margin-left:-12px" to the div inside the fieldset.
However, that solves the problem with FF but generates an issue in IE!
So, my suggestion is to use conditional CSS statements to apply to each browser the right rules of style!
