CSS Float Images, Remove margin each line - css

Im trying to align multiple Images or DIVs.
i get the content from wordpress.
#wrapper{
width:800px;
}
.image{
width:125px;
height:100px;
float:left;
margin-left:10px;
}
This causes the last image to go to the next line.
i found
#wrapper div:first-child{
margin-left:0px;
}
helps me with the first line but the next lines are "broken" again.
how can i align 6 images in a row with ^n Pictures?

That's indeed a common design problem. I used to fix it by adding 10px to the container, but nowadays I always use a jQuery fix:
$("#wrapper .image:nth-child(6n+1)").find('img').css('margin-left','0');
See jsfiddle here
Or you could do it CSS only, but this will only work in real browsers (not in <=IE8)
.image:nth-child(6n+1) {
margin-left:0px;
}
See jsfiddle here

Sounds like the total width of the images, padding and margin are too wide for your container width. Try increasing the container width to confirm this.

Two full screen floats with border

I am designing a website with two floating columns which I want to fill the whole screen.
#column_main{
position:relative;
background:#ffffff;
float:left;
width:70%;
height:auto;
min-height:550px;
}
#column_side{
position:relative;
background:#dbdada;
float:left;
width:30%;
height:auto;
min-height:550px;
}
if I had the line below to #column_main
border-left:solid 1px #c0c1c4;
The float messes up and they are no longer side by side.
In IE I have been able to fix the problem by setting the #column_main width to auto and it fills the rest of the page. This doesn't work in firefox and I have tried reducing the percentage slightly but that leaves a gap between the #column_main and the right edge of the page. Is there a way to have the 1px border on the left and make the float fill the remainder of the screen.
The float no longer works because of the box model where the border is added to the width instead of included in the width, you have already used up 100% of the width by doing width:70% and width: 30%.
If you plan on applying a border you might want to apply it to a child element inside one of the wrapping floated columns and use those parent columns only as a grid system to structure your other content.
Alternatively try bootstrap grids
add box-sizing: border-box; to #column_main
This property basically says you want the box size to apply to the border and everything inside it.
This blog post explains this, and some other options to fix this particular problem.

Centered floating logo stuck on right only in IE9

I have a fluid width site with a logo centered in the header area. The logo stays in the center regardless of the window size. Works in all browsers except ie9. In ie9 it is stuck on the right. If I could get it stuck on the left that would be an ok compromise but the right will not do. My best guess is that ie9 does not support the css code:
.logo {
width:100%;
position:relative;
}
.logo img {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
display:block;
}
Here is the website http://www.cyberdefenselabs.org/
Anyone know a workaround for ie9 that will not affect other browsers or involve drastic recode?
Your .social-header-wrap element contains floating elements that are not properly cleared. Add this style:
.social-header-wrap {overflow:hidden}
The person above is correct - you have floats that are not properly cleared.
But you should sort out your layout before making style changes as you have the same main menu 3 times but with 1 of them hidden and 1 (the first one) with white on white links.
Simply removing the first main menu (the div with the class "social-header-wrap") also solves the problem.
When using
margin:auto;
you should say
margin:0 auto;
Get rid of margin-left and -right and change to margin:0 auto;
Also the containing element needs to be text-align:center which you undo by putting text-align:left in the element you are centering.

CSS Error that is driving me wild

I am currently working on a website which was all going well until the css now thinks that the bottom of the page, even though i have positioned the image with
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
is actually about 100 pixels above the bottom! I can't figure it out and my only answer could be because of how I am repeating things across the layout.The site can be found at SemaphoreDesign The paste bin for the style sheet is here And for the HTML go here I really cannot figure out why the header and the endside are not at the bottom of the page and why there is a scroll bar.Thanks
you can do a fixed position for these 2
#endside {
width:100%;
float:left;
height:112px;
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
overflow:hidden;
background-image:url(images/main_09.png);
z-index-2;
}
#footer {
width:915px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-image:url(images/main_10.png);
height:112px;
position:fixed;
bottom:0px;
z-index:11;
}
Mostly likely you're scrolling down when you see the problem?
You should be using position:fixed if you want it to not move when the user scrolls.
The reason you're getting a scrollbar in the first place is because you set your "content" <div> to height:100%, which means 100% of the window height. Since there's other elements the height exceeds the window height.
Something like this might help:

CSS: http://pastebin.com/mbV44Jef
I don't think you want to use position:fixed. This site has good CSS for footers you can copy:

Really Frustrating CSS Stepdown in IE

In my site, I have two divs - right and left. Both are contained within a wrapper div. Here is my code:
#wrapper{
width:1000px;
height:750px;
margin:auto;
}
#left{
width:500px;
height:750px;
float:left;
position:relative;
}
#right{
width:500px;
height:750px;
float:right;
position:relative;
}
In Chrome, no problem.
In Firefox, no problem.
In Safari, no problem.
In Opera, no problem
In IE, the #right div is in the same location horizontally, but vertically it's below the #left div.
I've tried a few different techniques to remedy this. Setting the wrapper line height to 0, setting the right display to inline, reducing the size of the right and left divs (I thought maybe there was a margin/padding issue). I've run out of ideas now, can anybody offer any help of the issue?
In All Browsers (except IE):
In IE:
There's nothing wrong with the CSS you've posted. It will work in all browsers as expected (I've decreased the widths in my example).
What's happening is that you've got an element in one of your columns that's forcing the width of either #left or #right to be greater than 500px. The easiest way to fix this is to start removing elements until the float drop disappears. Then you can figure out if there's a solution for the offending element (i.e. set its width or set overflow: hidden or scroll).
Try using float:left for both the #right and #left divs. You could also probably take out the position: relative as well.
put both left and right divs as float:left

Fixing odd spacing between divs on my site

Hey, I appear to have a CSS problem, regarding the spacing of my <div>s on my site.
If you point your browser to www.marioplanet.com you will see an odd space after my Apple-themed navigation bar.
I was wondering if anyone can help me identify why this spacing was added, and how I can eliminate it, as it's undesired.
Also, I believe it has something directly related to the nav bar, because without the nav bar, this is no spacing problem.
Thanks!
It is because of <a></a> present in <li id="gn-support"><a></a></li>
That #globalheader DIV that contains the menu bar has 18px of vertical margin (top and bottom). So naturally what follows is displaced by 18px.
#globalheader {
height:37px;
margin:18px auto;
position:relative;
width:771px;
z-index:1;
}
You might want to remove the gn-ipad, gn-itunes and gn-support <li> elements from your html.
Get rid of the 18px portion of the margin in the globalheader item, then change the width of the globalnav item to 1000px:
globalnav {
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:1000px;
}
Ok the problem has to do with you fixed width on:
#globalheader{
width: 769px; //this is too small and actually not needed.
}
The contained list (#globalnav) has a rendered width of 830px (it has some white space at the end didn't investigate to see where it came from. So if you remove the fixed width from globalheader and add a margin-left of 200px to #globalnav you will center it and get rid of the space.
Additionally if you can see why your list have a bunch of white space to the right of it expanding its size to 830px you can just do a margin-left and margin-right of auto and center the list inside the global header div.
Figured out where the extra space at the end of the ul is comming from list items gn-itunes and gn-support are both rendering with 103px in width. this is comming from the (#globalheader #globalnav LI A css rule) You can override the width in (#globalheader #globalnav li#gn-support A) as well as the (#globalheader #globalnav li#gn-itunes A) css rules and that should fix it as well without resorting to fix above.
If you change the width of globalheader will work.
#globalheader {
height:37px;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
width:515px;
z-index:1;
}
If you want to add more navigation links later you will have to increase the width of globalheader.
