I've got a set of divs in my page with some images inside of them. I would like them to be arranged horizontally instead of vertically ie:
X X X X X
X X X X X
Instead of
X
X
X
...
X
I've tried using the float, position:absolute properties but when using them the elements are "unattached" from the normal flow of the document and positioned outwith the content area.
What is the best way to position elements in such a way without altering the normal flow of the document?
Edit:
<div id="content" class="column"><div class="section">
<h6 id="choose">CHOOSE WHAT YOUR PLANB IS</h6>
<div class="region region-content">
<div class="canvas-wrapper">
<div class="canvas-triangle" id="one">
<canvas id="one"></canvas>
</div>
<div class="triangle-caption">One</div>
</div>
<div class="canvas-wrapper">
<div class="canvas-triangle" id="two">
<canvas id="two"></canvas>
</div>
<div class="triangle-caption">Two</div>
</div>
//ANOTHER 8 LIKE THAT
</div>
</div>
That's the code I have that creates the divs with the images in them. What I would like to do is arrange them as indicated above. Let me know if you need any more details.
Thanks
You don't need to use position, just use float:left for the divs you want in a row. Than you can use some element with clear:left under those divs, so the divs will not overlay this element or any other element further in the code...
edit:
To understand it, try this code with and without clear:
#wrap {width: 500px; background:#ffa;}
div.row {float:left; width:150px; height:150px; background:#aff}
div.right {float:right; height:250px;}
div.clear {clear:left; width: 250px; background:#faf}
<div id="wrap">
<div class="row"><p>div</p></div>
<div class="row"><p>div</p></div>
<div class="row"><p>div</p></div>
<div class="row"><p>div</p></div>
<div class="row right"><p>right</p></div>
<div class="clear"><p>clear</p></div>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit...... </p>
</div>
Also notice the difference if you use clear with value left or both in this case.
Get rid of the absolute positioning. You should give us something more to play with if that's not enough help.
EDIT: See this jsfiddle and let me know what's not clear: http://jsfiddle.net/FH7cg/.

I'm trying to set some divs to width: 100% on Twitter Bootstrap 3 (including no paddings or margins).
JSfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/rq9ycjcx/
HTML:
<div class="container">
<header>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">
<img src="http://placehold.it/150x50">
</div>
<div class="col-md-10">Menu</div>
</div>
<div class="row gray">
<div class="col-md-6">
<h1>Page Title</h1>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<div class="breadcrumbs">Main page > page </div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" />
</div>
</div>
</header>
<footer>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">Content</div>
</div>
<div class="row dark">
<div class="col-md-3">Footer 1</div>
<div class="col-md-3">Footer 2</div>
<div class="col-md-3">Footer 3</div>
<div class="col-md-3">Footer 4</div>
</div>
</footer>
</div>
What is the right way to get image http://placehold.it/350x150 width: 100%, including no paddings or margins?
Page title and breadcrumbs height is 80px.
If I resize window to smaller screen (e.g. mobile), text Main page > page disappears (it's somewhere but not on own row).
How to fix it?
Use <div class="container-fluid">. As per Bootstrap Docs: Use .container-fluid for a full width container, spanning the entire width of your viewport.
There is 0 padding on container-fluid.
In your code you have what appears to be body content in your header and you also have a div class="container" outside of your header and footer. This is not correct, you should have your container/container-fluid inside of your body. Also for your header you should use <nav="nav navbar-nav">.
Updated Fiddle
As suggested above, you can create a helper class
.padding-0 {
padding: 0;
}
and apply it to any HTML elements for which you need a padding reset. So in your case, it would look like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12 padding-0">
<img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" />
</div>
</div>
For the second problem, set height of .gray class to auto :
#media () {
.gray {
height: auto;
}
}
Note: You could also remove line-height: 80px, it's optional :)

There is no "right" way to do that in Bootstrap 3. It means you have to reset padding for the exact column.
You can create a class such as this one:
.col-md-12.resetPadding { padding:0px }
About Main page > page disappearing, I don't see this problem on my browsers (tested on Chrome and FF), but you have line-height: 80px there and as you said your breadcrumbs div has height: 80px;, so try to reduce line-height property and see how it works.
A simple way would be to remove the <div class="col-md-12">...</div> and add your content directly inside the row tag. The row tag removes the left & right gutters, whereas the cold-md-12 essentially adds the gutters back in.
The Bootstrap 3 documentation says that for single full width items you don't need any markup, eg just wrap it in <p> tags. However this will show the 15px gutters due to the page markup. So by simply adding in the row tag and placing your content directly inside this you will get 100% width content and be compliant with the BS3 documentation.
I have some divs in my layout having 50% width. Each div may have a variable height depending on its content. What I would like to do is "floating" them to the top. This means that each div fills gaps with above divs. Something like that:
Is it possible to achieve this effect with some CSS? Of course, width can also be set to other values, not only 50%. Thanks in advance.
You can change the html markup as follows
<div class="left col50">
<div class="first"></div>
<div class="third"></div>
</div>
<div class="right col50">
<div class="second"></div>
<div class="fourth"></div>
</div>
and the css
.col50{
width:50%;
}
.right,.left{
float:left;
}
I have a CSS question.
<div id="middle">
<div id="middle-left">
<div id="middle-left-top">
MLT
</div>
<div id="middle-left-bottom">
MLB
</div>
<br class="clearFix">
</div>
<div id="middle-right">
MLR
</div>
<br class="clearFix">
</div><!-- #middle-->
the example is at http://jsfiddle.net/Z2yeq/
my questions is why does middle-left not contain the two divs inside?
I want middle-left to expand as middle-left-top and middle-left-bottom
get taller
Thanks for any help
Absoloutely-positioned elements are no longer part of the layout. The parent has no idea how large child items are.
If you want the parent to be as large as the positioned child items to need to calculate and set this using JavaScript.
In general you shouldn't use absolute-positioning for layouts. You should use FLOATS.
The reason it doesn't is because you have it set to position:absolute; Remove position absolute to fix the problem.
#middle-left{
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 800px;
}
I don't know if this can be done with CSS, but before going the JavaScript way, I would like to know if it's possible to center (as a whole) a set of absolute positionned divs:
<div id="container">
<div id="item1" style="position:absolute;left:100px;top=50px>...some content...</div>
<div id="item2" style="position:absolute;left:0px;top=0px>...some content...</div>
<div id="item3" style="position:absolute;left:150px;top=100px>...some content...</div>
<div id="item4" style="position:absolute;left:75px;top=75px>...some content...</div>
</div>
I would like to center the bounding box of those items in the page.
Of course since they're styled with "position:absolute", they're out of the flow, so the container div has a size of 0 px... and the usual tricks didn't work.
Finally, the snippet above being just illustrative, in practice the items would be arbitrarily positionned (some of them dynamically), and their size and content is not known (and can be dynamic too). Because of all this dynamicity, I would prefer to have everything handled by CSS is possible, rather than having hook a whole bunch of events.
Hey now you can change your html and css than u can easily as like this
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="item1">...some content...</div>
<div id="item2">...some content...</div>
<div id="item3">...some content...</div>
<div id="item4">...some content...</div>
</div>
Css
#container{
background:red;
overflow:hidden;
}
#item1, #item2, #item3, #item4{
background:pink;
margin:10px;
margin-left:100px;
}

How about to give a fix width to #container and giving a position:relative;
Please check this http://jsfiddle.net/65vk2/
I have a container div, inside which I want to pack a variable number of divs of unknown (variable) height but with a given min-width. My requirements are:
If the container is wide enough to accommodate two columns, I want them to distribute themselves nicely in two columns without unnecessary whitespace.
It not, they should just go above each other.
Currently, I've given the divs width:48% margin-right:2%;float:left; which works nicely in the one-column state but when I resize the browser window, making room for two columns, every div which ends up in the left column insists on aligning itself horizontally with the bottom of the last div which went to the right:
what I have http://img602.imageshack.us/img602/5719/whatihave.png
This is how I would like them to go (no wasted space):
what I want http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/6985/whatiwantu.png
I would like a pure CSS solution if possible.
Thank you! /Gustav
EDIT:
This markup illustrates my problem:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.box {
width: 48%;
min-width:550px;
margin-right:2%;
margin-bottom: 1.5em;
background:blue;
color:white;
height:180px;
float:left;
}
.tall {
height: 250px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="box">1</div>
<div class="box">2</div>
<div class="box">3</div>
<div class="box tall">4</div>
<div class="box">5</div>
<div class="box">6</div>
<div style="clear:both"/>
</body>
</html>
The .boxes are generated dynamically, and so are their heights, I just threw in one taller to illustrate.
I don't think you can achieve the desired effect with pure CSS. I've used jQuery Masonry to replicate the effect you're after and it worked really well.
I'd love to see a pure CSS solution for this but haven't seen anything come close yet.
I believe that if you have a div for each column into which you put the numbered divs you will get what you want. Something like this:
<div class="containerDiv">
<div class="column">
<div class="content">
1
</div>
<div class="content">
4
</div>
</div>
<div class="column">
<div class="content">
2
</div>
<div class="content">
3
</div>
</div>
</div>
The next step appears to be "how do I balance my columns". Some code somewhere is generating the boxes you mentioned. It is deciding on the height of each box. This code will need to generate a balanced list of boxes for each column prior to forwarding the request to the JSP for presentation. By balanced, I mean "the height of column1 is similar to the height to column2"
