I have a table that I'm styling with CSS. Yes I know, tables are bad and all that. I want the "grid" of TD's to all have the height of the row they are positioned in.
http://jsfiddle.net/p87Bv/1/
You'll see if they have varying content, they look all jumbled up! Would prefer not to use Javascript.
tables are not automatically bad. tables are perfect for displaying tabular data... even though that doesn't seem to be what you are doing.
move the style from the div to the table cell...check out my updated fiddle for some CSS changes. i think you could remove the divs from the markup now that they aren't being used for anything via CSS
http://jsfiddle.net/p87Bv/5/
All you have to do is give you tds a height, and then give the divs inside a height: 100%.
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/p87Bv/2/
It's hard to understand your question. Maybe you can clarify - is this what you're looking for? Also notice how the overflowing text is in a scrollable div - more on that later.

If it is, it's as simple as adding the height CSS property. Also, it's always good to address the text overflow, especially in this manner, in case the text inside the table row (div) is larger than the div itself. Add these to the 'table td div' property to achieve the affect in the new fiddle:
height:200px;
/* or whatever height you'd like them to be */
overflow:auto;
/* makes all overflowing text have a scrollbar */

I need to construct something like this: https://youtu.be/-pv77UW1w6g
But I'm facing problems to set div side by side with no space between them.
I made a wireframe to help to show my idea like the video above: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9095670/multiple-divs.jpg
It's important to say that I'm using bootstrap and it's a responsive project. So, I don't want use fixed width or heigh (if possible) to do that. I've tried use display: inline, but I got many holes between them due the fixed min-height.
Thanks a lot for the help.
The issue lies in the fact that you markup likely has whitespace between the elements, the simplest way to avoid this is to set font-size: 0px; in the document body, then add a class to each child div that re-sets the font size back to whatever you want.
just do this:
<div class="wrap">
<div class="children">1</div>
<div class="children">2</div>
<div class="children">3</div>
</div>

Ok here you go.
You can comment out the keyframes, but I have put a bit animation in it, your video made me:-).
To explain this...as you see, there is no height declaration on the divs, only on the main wrapper div. And on the img tags, for demo purposes.
As you can see the divs will adapt height to whatever content is placed in to them.
Same for the pictures, you make them the size you want.
With the flexbox layout as it is there, I make the divs being placed as column, i.e. vertically. There is a height declaration on the main div, this one you will need if you want to display it like this, but only this one, without a height on main div, flexbox would never create a next column, it would just stack them one over the next. This way, as soon the height is reached, it creates a new horizontal column. This would be possible in other ways as well and takes some understanding of the flexbox model, do look into it, i thinks it is the future of layout.
And you set a width on the children class, i set it to 30% here, for 3 rows(flex will still create a 4th,5th etc, but these would fall out of the wrap div, so, a bit calculation is needed on your part.
Play around with it and see what happens if you change the children class width, or put more/less text in it, careful with margin, margin is bit odd with flexbox, this is beyond the scope here though.
Do not be afraid when flexbox creates a new row, don't try to fix it with margins when it looks odd(new or od row having a gap etc, you will see what i mean).
And this will be fully responsive as it is.
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#keyframes bro{
1% {transform: skew(5deg, 6deg);}
25% {transform: skew(10deg, 5deg);}
75% {transform: skew(15deg,9deg);}
90% {transform: rotate(720deg) scale(0.1);}

Thanks for all help, but I solved my problem with Masonry as hungerstar said. The Masonry is good if you're using Angular.js too.
I've got the following JS Fiddle to demonstrate what I'm trying to accomplish:
http://jsfiddle.net/sVKU8/2/
1) I assume this first part is easy - Is there a way to update the parent label class to automatically have it's width set based on the total width of the two child <div>s so the border only wraps around the green and red <div>s? I thought setting width: auto was supposed to do that, but my CSS skills are apparently lacking.
2) What I'd like to accomplish next would be to remove the width attribute from my label-text class and have the width set (or grow automatically, if possible) whenever I apply text to that <div> via JavaScript without text wrapping (i.e. keeping the original height of the label class).
I wasn't sure if I needed to try to calculate the width based on the actual text, or if there is a way to just apply the text with a width setting that will allow it to grow.
Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Add this property to your css :
.based-on-text{
display: inline-block;
}
This way, the div will act like a block but will have exactly the width it needs instead of taking the whole parent level width !

CSS alternative without additional JS using traditional floating elements approach
This fiddle (Click HERE) shows using inline-block on the div text-label and a little JS to set the width on the outer box with the border.
This is the javascript. Pretty ugly. There's probably a better way:
$(".label").css("width",
parseFloat( $(".label-image").css("width"))
+ parseFloat( $(".label-text").css("width"))
);
I have a set width and the height is set to auto.
Each row is a div, inside is a div for each column. and there is a <p> tag inside the column divs where text should be.
The CSS involved is very basic, just some padding and set width/heights...
and float left.
Something I'm missing?
It's actually expected behavior for your code. You have a single "word" in your "cell", with no spaces in it. So browser doesn't know where to wrap and automatically extends the box. You should add word-wrap: break-word CSS rule to .orderHistoryTable selector (or to orderHistoryTable div.row1 if you want this behavior only on this cell)

Did you try setting the CSS overflow property?

I live and breath by the Clearfix method. It will solve many of your layout problems w/ divs. It might solve this issue you're having, or might not, but overall it's great to use when doing div heavy layouts. I use Jeff Starr's method from Perishable Press: http://perishablepress.com/press/2009/12/06/new-clearfix-hack/
I am new to CSS, so please bear with me. I have this form which I'm trying to style. Everything works fine, except the confirmation label which is in a div. I want some space to be there between div.field, and while this works for all the input elements, it doesn't work for the label message which is at the bottom. I tried increasing margin-top, but to no avail. I would like that element to be positioned in the center.
Using the web-developer addon of Firefox, it shows me that the width and height of div.field of label tag specifically is 284px and 209px respectively. Why is this so, when I haven't set it that way?
You can view the code live at jsfiddle: http://www.jsfiddle.net/yMHJY/
The solution is simple, really. Add a margin-top to the parent of the label element, and add overflow: hidden to the div#contact div .field selector.
However, can I just say that the code can be rewritten for much better efficiency and semantic correctness. For instance, I would contain the last massage in a p tag and not a label in a div. Also, I would have each input element placed in an unordered list ul instead of divs. You also have a lot of unnecessary floats and the br at the end of each input is wholly uneeded. Oh, and unless you are embedding Calluna somehow, don't use it - stick to web safe fonts (and if you are, you still need to suggest an alternative, in the user's browser does not support it, and also to give the browser something to display while the font loads).
Edit
Fixed the load for ya, I should be paid for this kind of stuff :) Just stick to better HTML and CSS next time.

To center you could add a parent container
<div id="parent">
<label id="label">Your Message Has Been Sent</label>
</div>
div#parent {
text-align:center;
}
or add an id to your original parent div to target it with above css
with regards to the margin, you seem to have an issue with a float:left being set in the
div#contact div input[type=text] class. You need to clear this as it could be causing you margin problems. Try removing this and amending your styles. Why are you floating the inputs left?
I need help to align CSS buttons. I tried many different variations and I just cannot center my button the way I want.
Firstly, have a look at this url: http://www.front-end-developer.net/cssbuttons/example.htm
I'm using 2 images to form a button (this could be done on 1 image, but in this case we've got two). Everything works as expected as long as we apply float:left or float:right to the parent div element, to 'limit' width of the div and close it as soon as the content of the div ends. You can remove float:left from the button to see what I mean.
But what about center positioned buttons? I cannot add float:left/right because I want align it in the middle.
In theory, I could set
{
width:XXpx;
margin:0 auto;
}
And I will get what you can see on this picture:
(source: front-end-developer.net)
But I don't know the length of the text inside. Having different translations my button can be very short, or 5 times that long.
I also tried to use <span> instead of <div>, but unfortunately nested inline elements don't respect their padding correctly...
And yes, I must use <a> inside, so buttons can be accessed by web crawlers.
I'm really stuck on this one.
.button {display:inline-block;}
Seems to do the trick.
