I am using a wrapper but I am pretty confused. I want the two resultbox divs to be in line with the submit div.
Take a look here:
http://jsfiddle.net/QtVwr/
What am I doing wrong?
I'm not very familiar with CSS.
Part of the problem is that there are issues with your HTML. Here's a start:
make sure all the divs are closed.
remove the floats from your css
add display:inline-block;
remove the inline styles from your HTML.
correct the .wrapper class to be .wrapper1 (matching the HTML)
So, this is more what you want, I assume:
.wrapper1 {
height:70px;
width: 800px;
background: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid grey;
color: #BDBDBD;
}
.resultbox {
width: 300px;
background: #ffffff;
color: #BDBDBD;
display: inline-block;
}
.submit {
height:15px;
width: 32px;
margin-top:10px;
background: #ffffff;
border: 1px solid;
color: #BDBDBD;
display: inline-block;
}
and the HTML
<div class="wrapper1">
<div class="resultbox" style="" >
<div class="locationresult" style="" form action="weezyresults.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="search" size="36" value="" style="" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="resultbox" style="" >
<div class="locationresult" style="" form action="weezyresults.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="search" size="36" value="" style="" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="resultbox" style="width:35px;" >
<div class="submit"></div>
</div>
</div>
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/QtVwr/2/
You will still need to fiddle with it. But this is a start.
To make div inline you should use the following CSS style:
.mydiv{ display: inline; }
Note: Change width of your wrapper (make it smaller) and you will see the results
There are several issues with the code you have provided.
you have defined css rules for a class wrapper but use class wrapper1 in your html
class wrapper doesn't have enough width for both of the result boxes plus the submit
There are extra quotes on the second result box style="margin-left: 5px; margin-top: 3px;""
form tags are malformed and being intertwined with your div tags
form tags aren't closed
locationresult div tag isn't closed
floats need to be cleared
here is a fiddle
http://jsfiddle.net/e3dg6/
The width of your results boxes combined exceeds the width of your wrapper. You need to either make the wrapper wider or reduce the width on the resultboxes.
Why do you have the submit div within a resultbox div?
Why the margin-left:10px, only with the first div?
I'd do it like this:
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="resultbox"></div>
<div class="resultbox"></div>
<div id="submit"></div>
</div>
And set the width and height of the wrapper, and let the other divs float. It's just a longshot, not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish. I just think your nesting is not okay.

I have a problem, I have this input text fields in a html form, this are wrapped for this div css properties:
.formRight240 { float: left; width: 240px; margin: 5px 12px 5px 0px; }
when I try to this
.field_required{ display: inline; color: red; }
.field_required:after{ content: "*" }
the input text field stay the same and the asterisk jump to the next line, I know the reason, everything is aligned in order to the other elements around, but is there anything I can do to display the asterisk inline with the input text field by doing changes to the field_required class? if not, what I have to change to the .formRight240.
HTML
<div class="rowElem noborder">
<label>Customer ID:</label>
<div class="formRight240">
<span class="field_required"><input type="text" name="p_cust_id_c" id="req" class="validate[required,maxSize[30]]"/></span>
</div>
<div class="fix"></div>
</div>
Check this answer, you can't add :before or :after to an input.
A solution could be to wrap your input in a span:
HTML
<span class="field_required"><input type="text" /><span>
CSS
.field_required input {
display: inline;
color: red;
}
.field_required:after{
content: "*";
}
DEMO
I'm trying to keep everything aligned vertically but can't seem to figure it out
here is the css
fieldset span{
padding:50px 10px 0px 10px;
float:left;
clear:none;
}
fieldset span.buttons{
float:right;
}
and the html markup
<fieldset class="remove">
<span class="itemtype">story</span>
<span class="itemtype">53547</span>
<span class="title">New online education program aimed at curbing dangerous drinking</span>
<span class="buttons">
<img src="img/edit.png" alt="edit story" />Edit
<img src="http://www.bibliomania.com/graphics/read.gif" alt="read story" />Read
</span>
<input type="hidden" name="featured[items][53547]" value="story" />
</fieldset>
and a fiddle you can see how the image pushes down also the text in the 'a' tag text needs to be corrected as well
edit
using background image would be nice but that makes the image go under the text see new fiddle
Try this :
fieldset span a img {
vertical-align: middle;
}
Vertical-align is a CSS property that is often misued to align text. However its aim is to align images (and yes, it also does align text but only in table).
See CSS-tricks.com - What is vertical-align
Fiddle to test
What about just using the padding for both top & bottom:
fieldset span{
padding:25px 10px 25px 10px;
...
http://jsfiddle.net/SxCH2/5/
I'm looking for a way to align a number of elements (spans, inputs, and buttons) such that despite their differing sizes, their vertical mid point is on the same horizontal line:
How do I achieve this in CSS? Here's the HTML file to play with:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.3.0/build/cssreset/reset-min.css">
<style>
.content { font-size: 18px; border: 1px dotted blue; }
.content input, .content button { font-size: 40px; float: left; }
.label { border: 1px dotted red; float: left; }
.clear { clear: both; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="content">
<span class="label">Label: </span><input type="text">
<span class="label">More text: </span><input type="text">
<button type="submit">Submit Me</button>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Set the main div's line-height: height of tallest element in px, then set vertical-align: middle. You may have to set display:inline or display:inline-block on the subelements as well.
That should work.
As others (David Nguyen and thirtydot) have said, adding vertical-align:middle; will accomplish the effect you're after so long as you get rid of the floats that are currently in your code. Adding display:inline-block; will let you have better control over the dimensions, and I don't know if you were planning on it, but I'd definitely swap out your <span class="label"> for actual <label> tags.
Your span, input and button need the property:
vertical-align:middle;display:inline
Eventually, our team would like to move away from tables, but it seems like div tags are so much harder to use. In the above image, the layout was created using a table, but I cant figure out how to get a basic column structure working using div tags. How can I get those buttons on the same line? HTML newbie here.
Not too difficult:
HTML:
<form id="login">
<div>
<label for="user">Username:</label>
<input id="user" type="text" size="20">
</div>
<div>
<label for="pass">Password:</label>
<input id="pass" type="password" size="20">
</div>
<div>
<input id="cancel" type="reset" value="Cancel">
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="Login">
</div>
</form>
CSS:
#login {
background-color: #FEFEDD;
border: 3px solid #7F7F7F;
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px;
text-align: right;
}
#login div {
padding: 5px;
}
#login label {
font-weight: bold;
margin-right: 5px;
}
#login #cancel {
float: left;
}
Live Demo
To be short, if you want to put many elements with div tags in the same line you should give for each div a left float and a width. For example:
<div style="width:50px; float:left;"> Element 1</div>
<div style="width:50px; float:left;"> Element 2</div>
...
As bad as it is to use tables for positioning elements on a page, forms is one exception I often make. Sure you can float your DIVs, but you're going to write a lot more code to do that than using tables. Plus we're talking about a tabular format with rows and columns. If you're not supposed to use tables for a tabular format, then why have the tags in the HTML at all?
If you give the elements a position:absolute then you can set the left: value and the top:value to align the buttons.
div#cancelbutton {
position: absolute;
top:50px;
left:30px;
}
div#loginbutton {
position:absolute;
top:50px;
left:300px;
}
This will place the element quote: relative to the first parent element that has a position other than static.

Maybee is better to use float:let then display: inline-block; because IE9 could display textboxes in two rows.

I have an outer div with background and border and then I need to have two columns within the colored box. Some reason when I place the floating divs inside the outer div, the outer div does not grow.
Here is my HTML:
<div class="tip_box">
<h3>Send</h3>
<hr />
<form id="email_form">
<div class="three-columns">
<div class="contact_form_input">
<h6>Your Name</h6>
<input type="text" name="name_text_box" class="form_input" id="name_text_box" />
</div>
<div class="contact_form_input">
<h6>Your Email</h6>
<input type="text" name="email_text_box" class="form_input" id="email_text_box" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="three-columns">
<div class="contact_form_input">
<h6>Recipient Name</h6>
<input type="text" name="name_text_box" class="form_input" id="Text1" />
</div>
<div class="contact_form_input">
<h6>Recipient Email</h6>
<input type="text" name="email_text_box" class="form_input" id="Text2" />
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<p>This is where your message will go. Anything you want, as long as you want. Make it personal; make the recipient know you care.</p>
Here is my CSS:
.three-columns {
width: 290px;
float: left;
margin-right: 45px;
}
.tip_box {
padding: 20px;
margin: 20px 0px;
-moz-border-radius: 7px;
-webkit-border-radius: 7px;
-khtml-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 7px;
padding-left: 55px;
background: #eee;
font-style:italic;
background: #eff7d9 url(../images/icons/tip.png) no-repeat scroll 10px 15px;
border: 1px solid #b7db58;
color: #5d791b;
}

Non-float blocks containing float blocks will not automatically expand, since float blocks are taken outside the normal flow (or at least specially outside the flow). One way to correct that is to specify the overflow property to hidden or auto.
.tip-box { overflow: auto; }
See quirksmode for more.
Add following HTML after <div class="tip_box"></div>:
<div class="clear"></div>
Here is the CSS:
.clear{
clear:both;
}
It will surely work.
.tip_box { overflow:hidden; zoom:1; }
this establishes new block formatting context in ie7+ and other browsers, triggers haslayout in ie6 to contain floats
You're going to need what is commonly known as a clearfix. In this case a overflow: hidden on the containing element will do - see: http://www.jsfiddle.net/yijiang/zuNwH/2
.tip_box {
overflow: hidden;
}
As an aside, you might also want to use label elements instead of h6 to markup labels for your form elements, and use a list instead of individual divs for containing each label - input pair, and reduce the amount of class attribute you use by relying on more complex selectors for your CSS file.
<li>
<label for="recipient_email">Recipient Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email_text_box" id="recipient_email" />
</li>
In this case I wouldn't float the divs left, I would make them display: inline or inline-block.
Your 3 columns will turn into 2 columns, then 1 column if the browser window shrinks.
