I have a parent container div and 2 sub ones in it, one to the left of the parent and one in the horizontal middle. how can I do that using css? suppose the html code is like this:
<div id="ParentContainer">
<div id="SubContainerToLeft"></div>
<div id="SubContainerInHorMiddle"></div>
</div>
Here you go: :)
http://jsfiddle.net/bzUSY/
Try this.
#ParentContainer {
height: 100px;
width: 500px;
}
#SubContainerToLeft {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
#SubContainerInHorMiddel {
margin: auto;
width: 50%;
}
And then just play with margin and padding as much as you like. You know what margin and padding is, right?

I'm not very good at CSS, I guess that will we easy to one of you.
Look at image below, i'm trying to center my text but center it with the div parent's width, as if there was no button, but I don't know how to proceed.
<div class="parent" style="width:500px;">
<div class="container" style="width:400px;"> My text here </div>
<button style="width:100px;">My Button</button>
</div>
I tried :
.parent { text-align: center; }
but that center the text with the .container width (so at 200px) but i'm looking for a way to center it a 250px here (.parent width)
I think about doing that with a padding-left but that's not a "clean" method in my case because button is not always displayed.
If someone knows how can I do that please :)
image:
One option would be to use absolute positioning on the button!
.parent {
position: relative; // position the button within the parent div
}
button {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0; // or whatever, position it where you want it
}
.container {
padding-right: 100px; // so the text doesn't overlap with the button
padding-left: 100px; // so the text is balanced
text-align: center;
}
EDIT:
And when the button isn't needed, you could use a conditional on the parent --
.container--with-button {
padding-right: 100px;
padding-left: 100px;
}
.container--without-button {
padding: 0;
}
If I understand you right then all you'll need to do is add a text-align property to your div.
.div { text-align: center }
I made a quick example that matches your diagram here, hope it helps.

From what I see you only need to add display: block; to the .parent element. That way they'll be both displayed as a block and then all the text will be centered. ;)
I have a parent div, and 2 child divs. I want [child 2] to be centered in the parent. And I want [child 1] to hang over the left side of the parent. If I I give [child 1] a position of absolute, I can make the child left-hang outside of the container. However, [child 2] is still vertically displaced by the height of [child 1].

I've worked up an example in this jsFiddle. Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks

Your .slide-left-overhang (which is child 1, right?) has position: relative. Set it to position: absolute and it won't interfere anymore.
Other notes:
.slide-container-content has a width that is greater than its containing element - set it to 100% or whatever width you want the text to be, and then set your margin autos.
You set a bunch of <p> tags inside of an <h4> - I'm not sure what you plan to do with that, but it's semantically troubling.
here, see my update (minor tweaks) of yours: http://jsfiddle.net/Ye5us/
Use this structure:
HTML
<div class="div_container">
<div class="div_left">
</div>
<div class="div_right">
<div class="div_right_content">
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
div {
position: relative;
height: 200px;
background: yellow;
}
.div_container {
width: 500px;
margin: 0px auto;
}
.div_left {
width: 200px;
float: left;
}
.div_right {
width: 300px;
float: right;
background: blue;
}
.div_right_content {
margin: 0px auto;
width: 100px;
background: red;
}

I have a container on my test site:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
}
Then I added the left vertical menu and on some small screens that menu is not fully visible.
Like my old laptop :-)
I want to keep the margin:auto setting in place but I want to move the whole #container a little bit to the right.
Could it be done some how?
I have tried #container {margin-left:10px;}, but to no avail.
Playing with firebug, it's good to use:
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
position:relative;
left:10px;
}
Hope it solves...
The simplest approach would be to introduce another element (or style another element if it's already available). Thus, you might have:
<div style="margin-left: 10px;">
<div id="container" style="margin: auto;">...</div>
</div>
That way the centering is being done within a container div that's already got the appropriate left-hand padding.
If you wrap your #container div in another div with double the left margin, that will work.
#wrap {
margin-left: 20px;
}
.centre { /* this would be your #container */
width: 100px;
height: 40px;
margin: auto;
background-color: #f00;
}
#wrap .centre {
background-color: #00f;
}
The HTML:
<div class="centre"></div>
<div id="wrap">
<div class="centre"></div>
</div>

Yo. There's a tendency in placing divs to follow each other vertically, but what i'm trying to accomplish right now is to is basically to place a number of divs (two) inside a parent div like so:
<div id='parent'><div id='onediv'></div> <div id='anotherone'></div> </div>
And i'd like to place 'anotherone' just to the right of 'onediv'. Sadly, float:right is pretty much ruining the layout with the divs popping out of their parent divs and whatnot. Any suggestions are welcome.
Edit: It might be worth noting that the parent div and 'anotherone' has no height elements at all, with 'onediv' planned to be thought as the "height support" div, allowing the contents of 'anotherone' to make the parent div larger at will.
Edit again: Here's the CSS for the specified stuff:
.parent
{
width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
border:solid black 1px;
}
.firstchild
{
width: 20%;
margin: 5px;
border: solid black 1px;
height: 180px;
}
.secondchild
{
width: 60%;
border:solid black 1px;
margin: 5px;
}
You can float both inner divs and give the outer div an overflow so that it grows with the inner divs.
Example:
#parent {
overflow: hidden;
}
#parent div {
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
Try this:
<div id="parent">
<div id="onediv" style="float:left;"></div>
<div id="anotherone" style="float:left;"></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
I think this is what you want (note the re-ordering of DOM elements):
<div id="parent">
<div id="anotherone"></div>
<div id="onediv"></div>
</div>
/*CSS*/
#anotherone{
float:right;
width:50%;
}
#onediv{
float:left;
width:50%;
}
Note, if this is what you want, IE6 will still mess it up. ;-)
You certainly need to specify a width as indicated in #Kevin's answer to get the layout you described, simply specifying float left/right will not have the desired effect. Try specifying the width in pixels rather than a percentage. Failing that or if that's not appropriate for you, I think you possibly need to specify the width of the outer div (through css if you like).
#onediv { float: left; width: 50%; } #anotherone { float: right; width: 50%; }
Just use the <span> tag. Its the equivalent of except it doesn't start a new row.
I have been attempting to split a div into two columns using CSS, but I have not managed to get it working yet. My basic structure is as follows:
<div id="content">
<div id="left">
<div id="object1"></div>
<div id="object2"></div>
</div>
<div id="right">
<div id="object3"></div>
<div id="object4"></div>
</div>
</div>
If I attempt to float the right and left divs to their respective positions (right and left), it seems to ignore the content div's background-color. And other code that I have tried from various websites doesn't seem to be able to translate to my structure.
Thanks for any help!
This works good for me. I have divided the screen into two halfs: 20% and 80%:
<div style="width: 20%; float:left">
#left content in here
</div>
<div style="width: 80%; float:right">
#right content in there
</div>
When you float those two divs, the content div collapses to zero height. Just add
<br style="clear:both;"/>
after the #right div but inside the content div. That will force the content div to surround the two internal, floating divs.
Another way to do this is to add overflow:hidden; to the parent element of the floated elements.
overflow:hidden will make the element grow to fit in floated elements.
This way, it can all be done in css rather than adding another html element.
None of the answers given answer the original question.
The question is how to separate a div into 2 columns using css.
All of the above answers actually embed 2 divs into a single div in order to simulate 2 columns. This is a bad idea because you won't be able to flow content into the 2 columns in any dynamic fashion.
So, instead of the above, use a single div that is defined to contain 2 columns using CSS as follows...
.two-column-div {
column-count: 2;
}
assign the above as a class to a div, and it will actually flow its contents into the 2 columns. You can go further and define gaps between margins as well. Depending on the content of the div, you may need to mess with the word break values so your content doesn't get cut up between the columns.
The most flexible way to do this:
#content::after {
display:block;
content:"";
clear:both;
}
This acts exactly the same as appending the element to #content:
<br style="clear:both;"/>
but without actually adding an element. ::after is called a pseudo element. The only reason this is better than adding overflow:hidden; to #content is that you can have absolute positioned child elements overflow and still be visible. Also it will allow box-shadow's to still be visible.
For whatever reason I've never liked the clearing approaches, I rely on floats and percentage widths for things like this.
Here's something that works in simple cases:
#content {
overflow:auto;
width: 600px;
background: gray;
}
#left, #right {
width: 40%;
margin:5px;
padding: 1em;
background: white;
}
#left { float:left; }
#right { float:right; }
If you put some content in you'll see that it works:
<div id="content">
<div id="left">
<div id="object1">some stuff</div>
<div id="object2">some more stuff</div>
</div>
<div id="right">
<div id="object3">unas cosas</div>
<div id="object4">mas cosas para ti</div>
</div>
</div>
You can see it here: http://cssdesk.com/d64uy
Make children divs inline-block and they will position side by side:
#content {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
}
#left, #right {
display: inline-block;
width: 45%;
height: 100%;
}
See Demo
You can use flexbox to control the layout of your div element:
* { box-sizing: border-box; }
#content {
background-color: rgba(210, 210, 210, 0.5);
border: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0.5rem;
display: flex;
}
#left,
#right {
background-color: rgba(10, 10, 10, 0.5);
border: 1px solid #fff;
padding: 0.5rem;
flex-grow: 1;
color: #fff;
}
<div id="content">
<div id="left">
<div id="object1">lorem ipsum</div>
<div id="object2">dolor site amet</div>
</div>
<div id="right">
<div id="object3">lorem ipsum</div>
<div id="object4">dolor site amet</div>
</div>
</div>
Best way to divide a div vertically --
#parent {
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.left {
float: left;
width: 60%;
}
.right {
overflow: hidden;
width: 40%;
}
Pure old school CSS
I know this post is old, but if any of you still looking for a simpler solution.
#container .left,
#container .right {
display: inline-block;
}
#container .left {
width: 20%;
float: left;
}
#container .right {
width: 80%;
float: right;
}
If you don't care old browser and need a simple way.
#content {
display: flex;
}
#left,
#right {
flex: 50%;
}
Floats don't affect the flow. What I tend to do is add a
<p class="extro" style="clear: both">possibly some content</p>
at the end of the 'wrapping div' (in this case content). I can justify this on a semantic basis by saying that such a paragraph might be needed. Another approach is to use a clearfix CSS:
#content:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
#content {
display: inline-block;
}
/* \*/
* html #content {
height: 1%;
}
#content {
display: block;
}
/* */
The trickery with the comments is for cross-browser compatibility.
This is best answered here Question 211383
These days, any self-respecting person should be using the stated "micro-clearfix" approach of clearing floats.
Make font size equal to zero in parent DIV.
Set width % for each of child DIVs.
#content {
font-size: 0;
}
#content > div {
font-size: 16px;
width: 50%;
}
*In Safari you may need to set 49% to make it works.
Divide a division in two columns is very easy, just specify the width of your column better if you put this (like width:50%) and set the float:left for left column and float:right for right column.
