I want to center the three divs that appear in the mockup below (all have "float:left").
Is this possible?
I don't mind having wrapper-divs.
Text-align:center and display:inline-block won't work with the code I have.
If you want to center them, you can't float them. A better alternative would be to make them all display: inline-block so you can still stylize them as a block element, and they'll still pay attention to your text-align: center on the parent wrapper. This would appear to be a good solution for the limited example you've provided.
In order to account for browser compatibility, you'd need to change them to <span> rather than <div> before adding the display: inline-block on to them. This would be supported in everything IE7 and up, and all other modern browsers. IE6 would not be supported, but it's only widely used in China anymore.
div#wrapper {
width:960px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

edit:
Moved complete code from fiddle to answer as per suggestion
<div id="outer-wrapper">
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="one"></div>
<div class="two"></div>
<div class="three"></div>
</div>
</div>
HTML
div#outer-wrapper{
border:2px solid black;
padding:10px;
width:100%;
}
CSS
div#wrapper{
width:99px;
margin:0 auto;
}
div {
width:33px;
height:20px;
}
div.one{
background:red;
float:left;
}
div.two{
background:blue;
float:left;
}
div.three{
background:green;
float:left;
}
You can also use a list and get the same results:
CSS:
.wrap
{
border:2px solid black;
width:100%;
}
ul
{
width:99px;
margin:0 auto;
height: 20px;
}
ul li
{
width:33px;
height:20px;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
ul li.red
{
background-color: red;
}
ul li.blue
{
background-color: blue;
}
ul li.green
{
background-color: green;
}
HTML:
<div class="wrap">
<ul>
<li class="red"> </li>
<li class="blue"></li>
<li class="green"></li>
</ul>
</div>
Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/nvpXx/3/
You can wrap your floated divs with an inline-block element and center it within its parent.
HTML
<div id="main">
<div class="wrap">
<div class="item">thing 1</div>
<div class="item">thing 2</div>
<div class="item">thing 3</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#main {width: 600px; background-color: #eee; margin: 0 auto; padding: 10px; text-align: center;}
#main .item {float: left; border: 1px solid #ccc; margin: 5px; }
.clear {clear: both;}
.wrap { display: inline-block; padding: 5px; bordeR: 1px solid black; margin: auto;}
Potential Pitfall
This doesn't work well if you have so many floated items that they wrap to a second line. At that point, the div.wrap expands to 100% of its container and as a result everything is off-center.
Try this one, keep it simple:
<ul>
<li> one </li>
<li> two </li>
<li> three </li>
</ul>
<style>
ul{margin:0 auto;max-width:500px}
ul li{float:left;margin:0 auto 1em;text-align:center;width:33%}
</style>
This will make it responsive although it breaks on some point, it helps to create a media query for the max-width:
<style>
#media screen and (max-width:520px){ ul li{float:none} }
</style>
Fiddle here
Floats, as the name suggests, are completely independent of their containers. So, you cannot center them according to a container, because they will know no container.
Hope this helps:
<body>
<div style="width:306px; border:#333333 1px solid; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto">
<div style="width:100px; border:#333333 1px solid; float:left;">div A</div>
<div style="width:100px; border:#333333 1px solid; float:left;">div B</div>
<div style="width:100px; border:#333333 1px solid; float:left;">div C</div>
</div>
</body>
What I would do is add a container div for them.
Then add overflow:auto so that the container div wraps around the 3 divs and then set the container div in the center with margin:0 auto.

In IE8, I am trying to display 4 child div's side by side withing a parent div. I would like the parent div to overflow and scroll horizontally and for the child div's to be next to each other horizontally as well. Thanks
HTML:
<div id="a">
<div class="b">One</div>
<div class="b">Two</div>
<div class="b">Three</div>
<div class="b">Four</div>
</div>
and CSS:
#a{
position:relative;
height:130px;
width:800px;
background:purple;
overflow:auto;
}
.b{
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
height:100px;
width:400px;
background:red;
border:1px solid #000000;
float:left;
}
Here are my suggestions:
Use classes for repeated elements. ids are unique, but classes can be used multiple times.
Use inline-block instead of float, not in addition.
Set white-space:nowrap on the container to prevent the children
from wrapping.
<div id="a">
<div class="b">One</div>
<div class="b">Two</div>
<div class="b">Three</div>
<div class="b">Four</div>
</div>
#a{
height:130px;

overflow:auto;
white-space:nowrap;

display:inline-block;

<div id="fourth">Fourth</div>
<div id="second">Second</div>
</div>
i think you might be looking for this one:
This is for your reference if you are having such a thing then you can do the trick with this, i exactly don't know how your css looks like but this is basic idea.
Demo Here
CSS
#wrapper
{
width:960px;
}
#first
{
float:left;
width:240px;
}
#second
{
width:240px;
float:left;
}
#third
{
float:left;
width:240px
}
Here your last div width will be set automatically.
I have an image which is inside a div. It appears as expected, within the div. When margin-top is added, the background for this div extends downwards. I don't want to have this behavior. How can I change this?
My code is as follows :
<div id="content">
<div class="page">
<div class="half">
<p>Text goes here.</p>
</div>
<div class="half">
<img src="imghere.png" alt="img" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.page {
width:500px;
margin:0 auto;
padding: 5px;
}
.half {
display:inline-block;
width:44%;
margin:0 2%;
}
This ensures that the column with the <p> tag goes on the left side of the screen, and the column with the image goes on the right, and it resizes as you resize the window :).
How can I make this webpage go from
-----div-----------
Text Image
-----/div-----------
to
-----div------------
Text
--/div--Image----
Image illustrating what I would like :
Edit:
I originally skipped over the fact that you provided some HTML and CSS in the question, so in my original answer I just went off the image provided. Looking at the HTML and CSS you provided, the only thing you'd have to do to get the desired result is set a negative bottom margin in your CSS on the img tag. Here's a jsFiddle using your original markup with the only significant addition to the CSS being the negative bottom margin set on the img tag.
The added benefit of doing it this way is that the image will stay in the desired spot (extended slightly below the div that contains it), even when adding more lines of text to the paragraph (p) changes the height of the containing element (.page div).
CSS
.page {
width:500px;
margin:0 auto;
padding: 5px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #ED1C24;
border-top: 3px solid black;
border-bottom: 3px solid black;
text-align: center;
}
.half {
display:inline-block;
width:44%;
margin:0 2%;
}
img {
margin-bottom:-50px;
}
Original answer:
You could just position the image below the text, float the image, and set a negative top margin on the image to make it cut back into the element containing the text. This way, the image will keep sitting in the right spot, even when adding more lines of text changes the height of the containing element.
Here's a jsFiddle
HTML
<p>Text
<br/>Text
<br/>Text
<br/>Text
<br/>Text
<br/>Text
<br/>Text
<br/>Text
<br/>
<img />
</p>
CSS
p {
width: 100%;
background-color: #ED1C24;
border-top: 3px solid black;
border-bottom: 3px solid black;
text-align: center;
}
img {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: yellow;
border: 3px solid black;
float: right;
margin: -70px 100px;
}
I don't quite understand the question completely, but I coded what you wanted in css with your HTML untouched. Hopefully that helps. Check out the JSFiddle.
http://jsfiddle.net/bH8qA/
HTML:
<div id="content">
<div class="page">
<div class="half">
<p>Text goes here.</p>
</div>
<div class="half">
<img src="imghere.png" alt="img" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.page{
background-color:#cc0000;
border-top:4px solid #000;
border-bottom:4px solid #000;
width:500px;
margin:0 auto;
padding: 5px;
position:relative;
}
.half{
display:inline-block;
width:44%;
vertical-align:top;
text-align:right;
}
.half + .half{
position:absolute;
top:20px;
text-align:left;
margin-left:4%;
}
.half > img{
display:block;
height:100px;
background-color:#F5EB00;
border:4px solid #000;
}
use css and use the overflow: hidden on the parent of that div.

I am finding it bit confusing working around this problem.
I have parent DIV and 3/more Child DIV.
Parent DIV is center aligned and child DIV should be floating left but should be aligned center.
CSS contains,
.center {
float:left;
height:250px;
width:15%;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px solid black;
}
I have a sample of the code link here...
If you want to horizontally align your elements centrally, then don't float them.
Change the way they are displayed to inline-block and align them in the center by changing the text-align style of their parent:
#parent {
text-align:center;
height:450px;
width:75%;
border:1px solid blue;
}
.center {
display:inline-block;
height:250px;
width:15%;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<div id="parent">
<div id="child1" class="center"></div><!--
--><div id="child2" class="center"></div><!--
--><div id="child3" class="center"></div>
</div>
Be sure to have no white-space or newlines between your children <div>s (in your HTML, that is) or comment it out. Now that these are inline elements, this white-space will be interpreted as a space.
#parent{
display: flex;
justify-content:center;
flex-direction:row; /*default value is row*/
height:350px;
width:75%;
border:1px solid blue;
padding: 10px 0;/* not mandatory */
}
.center {
height:250px;
width:15%;
margin:5px;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<div id="parent">
<div id="child1" class="center">
</div>
<div id="child2" class="center">
</div>
<div id="child3" class="center">
</div>
</div>
Flex helps us achieve certain things with ease.
Automatic margins will not apply to an element which has a float applied. Removing the float should get you started...
Center horizontally & vertically
Use top for vertically center and calc is calculating dynamically top value.
the top will work with position - relative.
Using text-align:center in parent & display:inline-block in child for Horizontally center.
.parent {
height:400px;
width:400px;
position:absolute;
border:1px solid black;
text-align:center;
}
.child {
position:relative;
height:70px;
width:70px;
border:1px solid red;
top:calc(50% - 70px/2);
display:inline-block;
}

its not coming that way.. so what should i do?
this is my complete code ... this is what i am trying but failing to do it ... so guys pls take a look at this and tell me my fault
guys i am still struggling with this
I hope you'll find this example useful. Notice that, as you said, the size is fixed but still fluid relative to it's parent by using percentage.
HTML
<div id="example">
<div class="box01"></div>
<div class="box02"></div>
<div class="box03"></div>
</div>
CSS
#example {
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
}
div.box01 {
float: left;
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #eee;
}
div.box02 {
float: right;
min-width: 100px;
min-height: 100px;
background-color: #ccc;
}
div.box03 {
float: right;
width: 80%;
min-height: 100px;
background-color: #aaa;
}
Code Example
The trick is to realize you need more divs than just those three. That is to say, divs 2 and 3 need to have a parent that is a sibling of div 1. Try something like this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/rLDqc
HTML:
<div id="left">This is your div on the left</div>
<div id="center">
<div id="main">Hello, this is the third div</div>
<div id="right">This is the div in the top right</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
CSS:
#left{
width:30%;
background:red;
height:100px;
}
#center{
width:70%;
background:blue;
height:100px;
}
#left, #center{
float:left;
}
#right{
position:relative;
display:inline;
float:right;
}
#main{
margin-top: 57px;
float: left;
}
.clear{
clear:both;
}
You may do something like this:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="div1"></div><div class="div2"></div>
<div class="div3"></div>
</div>
and CSS:
div{border:solid 1px black;}
.div1 {
width:50px;
height:100px;
float:left;
}
.div2 {
width:50px;
height:18px;
float:right;
}
.div3 {
width:250px;
height:80px;
float:left;
}
.wrapper{
width:304px;
border:none;
}
Demo
Or maybe even something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/4YX9H/1/ - width and height of div2 may be almost any (it just must be not wider than its parent)
#div1 {
width: 100%;
}
#div2, #div3, #div4 {
width: 33.3%;
float: left;
}
<div id="div1">
<div id="div2"></div><div id="div3"></div><div id="div4></div>
</div>
Change width of inside divs according to your needs.
Most confusing job in web designing for me is to align divs like these but if you understand every aspect of float, display and some other properties important for layout designing then you can easily create such layouts.
Check this fiddle for an example
http://jsfiddle.net/DeepakKamat/xQKXz/1/
The HTML :
<div class="container">
<div id="div1">Div 1</div>
<div id="div2">Div 2</div>
<div id="div3">Div 3</div>
</div>
The CSS :
.container {backgroundcolor:yellow;display:block;width:400px;height:150px;padding:10px;}
.container div {margin:2px;color:white;}
#div1 {background-color:blue;width:20%;height:100%;border:2px dashed white;float:left;}
#div2 {background-color:green;display:inline-block;width:20%;height:70px;float:right;border:2px dashed white;}
#div3 {background-color:red;display:inline-block;width:76%;height:48%;border:2px dashed white;}
I hope this helps you.
Not sure what is the values of your div width and height.
