Hopefully the title of my question was clear enough.
Here's a really simple version of my CSS Combo Box. I think I'm just missing something minor and hope you can help with it. Basically I have a container Div, then I have a dropdown Div that holds the floated button on the right. Inside this dropdown Div I also have a Menu Div that is hidden until the user hovers the floated button Div.
I can get it to work by hovering over the dropdown Div since the menu Div is a child of it HOWEVER, I wanted to be able to hover over the button Div which is the first child of dropdown Div and display menu Div, which is the second child of dropdown div and not of button div.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Since #menu comes after #button, you can use the adjacent sibling selector (+) instead of the descendant selector (space):
#container #dropdown #button:hover + #menu {
display: block;
float: right;
background: #555555 url('assets/img/ddw.png') no-repeat center;
height: 25px;
width: 25px;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-right: 3px;
}
Try placing your div#menu inside your div#button. Then, give div#menu the following properties: position: relative, display: block, and top: 25px. Give your button div an overflow: hidden. then, change your #container #dropdown #button:hover #menu selector to #container #dropdown #button:hover, and give it the following properties: width: auto, height: auto, overflow: visible. See this jsFiddle for a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/kzEek/

I can't seem to get my div to align side by side inside a div, can someone see where the problem is? I am trying to position the divContainer element with a height up to the buttonPanel element and the 2 testDiv elements positioned side by side. I also tried setting the testDiv element with float: left but that didn't work either.

Let me give you an example:
you have two div left-div say ldiv and right-div say rdiv.These divs are inside main-div say mdiv
ie
<div class = "mdiv">
<div class="ldiv">
</div>
<div class="rdiv">
</div>
</div>
then you css shoul be like this:
#mdiv{}
#ldiv {float:left;}
#rdiv{ float:left;}
Make the following changes to your code: http://jsfiddle.net/ak9Gs/. box-sizing instructs the browser to take padding and borders into account when sizing an element.
CSS:
.testDiv {
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid blue;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.testDiv:first-of-type {
float: left;
}
.testDiv:first-of-type {
float: right;
}
You are giving width as 50% and border with 2px that's why your div'a were not placed sise by side. If you remove border you can get your div's as you need.
DEMO
CSS:
.testDiv {
display: block;
float:left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#ccc;
}
.testDiv:first-child{
display: block;
float:left;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
}
I gave color difference instead of border for both test div's.
change the testDiv class to have display of inline then they will be side by side
.testDiv {
display: inline;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid blue;
}
Hope this helps.
The HTML/CSS below works in recent browsers, but not in CF9's cfdocument. Anyone with ideas?
I would like to use the inline-block property in cfdocument, if I can. Or perhaps there is an alternative to render similar results?
WHAT DO I KNOW?
I am aware that CF's cfdocument supports a limited set of CSS properties (CSS1/CSS2). The CF documentation says it supports the "display" CSS property. However, it doesn't identify what values are supported. I have included the Expected Output and some Example Code.

You may try float instead display : follow link
.container { margin-left: 2em; width: 35em; border: none; }
div { margin: 1em 0; border: solid 1px red; }
p { margin: 1em 0; border: dotted 2px blue; }
div#one p { float: right; width: 6em; text-align: center; }
div#two p { float: right; width: 6em; text-align: center; }
div#three p { float:right; width: 6em; text-align: center; }
.clear {clear:both; border:0px}
I have searched and searched and tried many of options to fix this "bug", and I cannot get it to work. I have a div that has a background image that is half-way hidden behind the wrapper. On hover, it animates towards the top. The link is inside an absolute positioned div, and has no text. On IE there is no "pointer", therefore making the link un-clickable. This works in Chrome/FF.
I've tried:
border-right 1px transparent (this i actually can get a "pointer"
on the far right, but it's so small
background:
url(/images/transparent.gif) 0 0 repeat; (yes i made a 1x1px trans
image)
put another div inside the anchor that has the background
image
z-index: 0 or 1 or 2
I would like the CSS/HTML fix for this, not javascript. Thanks so much!

i figured it out. in IE, you cannot have an anchor w/ a negative z-index, b/c it hides it behind the body or whatever, and the event doesn't get passed through. basically what I ended up doing is placing the anchor around the div (login-btn), and giving the div a z-index of -1, therefore relieving the z-index on the anchor

I'm experiencing an issue with my CSS when working in Firefox. It should be pretty simple. Everything is working fine except that I cannot seem to get the links in the header aligned to the right (the color will change as well as any other modifications except alignment). The only way I can do it is to float it right, but that reverses the order of the links and seems wrong. Maybe there is a better way to deal with the links in the header than the span that I've used? I will have some more links in the header in another position, though, so I need to specify which links I'm referring to somehow...
Take a look at the code below:
First, the HTML:
"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<style type="text/css" media="screen">#import "layout2.css";</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="all">
<div id="head">
<span class="headlinks">
Logout
</span>
</div>
<div id="menu">
</div>
<div id="content">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>"
Now, the CSS:
/* Layout2.css */
#all {
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 0%;
top: 0%;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
.headlinks a {
text-align:right;
color:#ffffff;
}
#head {
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 0%;
width: 100%;
height: 10%;
background-color:#336699;
}
#head h1 {
margin-top: 1%;
text-align:right;
}
#menu {
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 1%;
top: 12%;
width: 20%;
height: 90%;
padding-left: 1%;
padding-right: 1%;
background-color:#b1b2a3;
}
#content{
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 25%;
top: 12%;
width: 72%;
height: 90%;
padding-left: 1%;
padding-right: 1%;
background-color: #eeeeee;
}
Thanks!
Change <span class="headlinks> to a <div>, and add text-align: right to its CSS style.
You want:
#head { text-align: right; }
The head div is a block element with 100% width. Headlinks is an inline element containing one link. text-align is used on a block element its contents, not on inline elements to indicate how to place them inside their parent.
An alternative approach is to make headlinks a block level element:
span.headlinks { display: block; text-align: right; }
Which to use depends on what you want to achieve.
Try putting the 'text-align:right' on the 'head' div rather than the 'headlinks' span. This style applies to block level elements like div, not inline elements like span.
I'm trying to set up a simple horizontal tab structure for a page I'm working on, and I'm running into some trouble with floating div's combined with z-index.
Viewing the following code in a browser:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<style type="text/css">
#main { width: 500px; z-index: 1;}
.left { float: left; width: 96px; background-color: red; border: 2px solid orange; z-index: 2; margin-right: -2px }
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 3; }
.clear { clear: both; }
</style>
</head>

<div class="left">
LEFT
</div>
<div class="right">
RIGHT
<br />
RIGHT
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Why doesn't the left div's orange border overlap the right div's green border?
z-index property will not apply to statically positioned elements. In order to use z-index the CSS must also include any position value other than static (ie relative, absolute, fixed).
.left { float: left; width: 96px; background-color: red; border: 2px solid orange; z-index: 3; margin-right: -2px; position: relative; }
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 2; position: relative; }
Will give you what you want I think. I added position: relative; and changed the z-index of the .left to 3 (from 2) and changed the z-index of .right to 2 (from 3).
z-index has no effect on elements that are not positioned (eg position:absolute;)
Use the position property for element upper. Adding position:relative to .left.
Negative margin-left?
.right { float: left; width: 396px; background-color: #09c; border: 2px solid green; z-index: 3; margin-left: -5px;}
