How can I make two floated <divs> not overlap? - css

I'm designing a website that has banners that are floated left and right. When I make the window very narrow, the banner on the right begins to cover the banner on the left. How can I stop the banners from overlapping and simply stop moving once they hit each other?

The easiest way is to set a min-width on the containing element. The min-width is the size of both floated elements widths.

Is there a way to prevent a div from falling under another div when shrinking browser size?

I have div which has row-fluid class and within it are two divs which are side by side. When I reduce the window size I can see the right div go under the left one. I am pretty new to bootstrap and css. Is there a way to fix this?

Best way to position over image

I got a navigation menu as image. I made a nav div with the image as background and a fixed width and height. Now in the little boxes under the lines I want nav links. So what I did is I made multiple divs in the nav div and positioned them in the little boxes. So they are all positioned perfectly inside firefox but, unfortunately in other browsers like chrome they have different positions (nothing extreme, but they arent perfectly aligned in the little boxes).
What I thought was that whenever you have a certain fixed height and width of the container div. The margins of the child divs will be the same on all browsers and screen sizes as they will always be the same size. How is this possible and what would be the best options to make this nav menu possible?
Try use this http://www.image-maps.com/ ... image maping tool lets you to set link coordinates.
If you know where these boxes are located pixel-wise in the background image, you could absolute position the nav divs and get them precisely where you want using top and left based on pixels of the parent div (with the image) instead of using margins.

how to use css to float the div from bottom left to top right when reduce the windows screen size

I would like to know if I can float the div like this using CSS. What I would like to do is to move the DIV which is CSS DIV 2 under the CSS DIV 1 to the right when reducing the windows size. See the screenshot below:
This is how three DIV would display on bigger windows size. First DIV is at the top left corner, the second DIV is under the first DIV. Then the third DIV is on the top right.
When I resize the browser windows, the third DIV which has wider width will drop to the botton under the first DIV, and the second DIV will automatcially move to the top right corner to fill in the space.
Anyone think that this is possible to do it by using CSS, and might not need to use JS or others?
Thanks
I'd say that change is achieved either by changing from a columnar layout to a row layout, or else by swapping the order of the two elements. Either way, it requires JavaScript.

Div Floats and Overflow in relation to size of the browser

I have a website built with divs floated to various parts of the pages to create the look I want. My problem is, when I make my browser smaller the floats all cram to the left side instead of holding their positions and simply giving a scroll bar.
All I want is for my pages to hold their form when the browser is not maximized.
I suggest you put a min-width on the div wrapping all your floating divs.
Than all your div will be floating as normally, but when the browser will be smaller you will have a scroll bar.
Yeah the code would really help, but a solution (I think) would be to wrap all your floated divs in a div that has a defined width.

How do I make a div resizable in the browser?

I have 2 divs...each are float left, and each have a "width".
When I resize my browser, the right div goes down to the bottom of the left div. Why? I'd like it so that during resize, it stays there.
There are a lot of solutions to this. A solution that preserves your existing float layout:
Enclose those two div's in a parent div where the width is set wide enough to hold both those divs.
They are "wrapping" because you marked them as floated elements and when their parent container becomes too small to put them on the same "line", the second one pops below, just like text, etc.
You are likely making the browser width too small for both floated divs to be side by side.
One way to prevent this is to wrap them in a larger semantic div that has a fixed or min-width. Or, simply give the body itself a min-width. Min-width is not supported in IE 6, just set the width for IE6 and it will treat it as min-width.
Give Width as "50%"
