Here is the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/STG22/3/
I want that span would not split in two different rows (like third did in the example above). How can I do it?
CSS:
span
{
background: red;
border-radius: 5px;
width: 60px;
}
HTML:
<div style="width: 250px">
<span>omg omg omg</span>
<span>omg omg omg</span>
<span>omg omg omg</span>
<span>omg omg omg</span>
</div>
Simple CSS:
white-space: nowrap;
Updated jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/STG22/5/
Full CSS:
span
{
background: red;
border-radius: 5px;
width: 60px;
white-space:nowrap;
}
you can set the css property white-space to nowrap, this will suppress line breaks due to space limitations
Use white-space:nowrap or display:inline-block (without width set).
If you weren't aware: width doesn't affect inline elements like <span>.

I am trying to prevent a contenteditable div from word wrapping.
The white-space: pre property does not work for a contenteditable.
This is the css:
.preDiv{
border:1px solid blue;
overflow:auto;
width:100px;
white-space:pre;
}
Here is a fiddle:contentEditable-fiddle
I want it to work the way it does as if it wasn't a contenteditable.
I need this because, in my real code the div has line numbers next to it and they are no longer correct when the div starts word-wrapping, when the width of the div changes.
I have tried to use white-space:nowrap but then the entire text is set on one line.
Does anyone have an idea how I can prevent this rearranging of the text when the width changes?
Luckily the answer was out there on this fiddle:contenteditable with white-space pre
This is the CSS this person used:
#editor {
border: 1px solid black;
height: 200px;
width: 300px;
white-space: pre;
word-wrap: normal;
overflow-x: auto;
}
So it needed the extra: word-wrap: normal;
Thank you Rick for your help, it boosts the morale!
Really interesting question.
I've gotten it to work in Chrome (at least) by:
Putting preDiv in a wrapper element.
Moving the overflow style to the wrapper.
Adding display: table-cell; to preDiv.
No idea why #3 is needed. I got there through trial and error.
changeWidth=function(){
document.getElementById('wrapper').style.width='100px';
}
#wrapper {
overflow:auto;
border:1px solid blue;
}
#preDiv{
width: 500px;
white-space: pre;
display: table-cell;
}
<div contenteditable id="wrapper">
<div id='preDiv'>
<span>hello hello hello hello</span>
<span>Here I am, Here I am,Here I am,Here I am,</span>
and so forth, and so forth and so forth
</div>
</div>
<button onclick='changeWidth()'>change Width</button>
I've run into a bit of a snag whilst developing the frontend for a website. I'm competent with CSS, but not fantastic. Anyway, I've created a jsFiddle here that illustrates my problem.
On each page of my website, at the top of the content section, I have a banner image. I wish to put a two colour divider seperating this banner from the content. (As is shown in the mockup my designer gave me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d9opotyiyp0yc9o/menus.jpg)
I'd like to do this in pure CSS+HTML, without just chucking an image in. Anyway, I've done so using the following code:
<img class="banner" src="http://regency.ymindustries.com/static/images/winelist.jpg" style="width: 100%;">
<div>
<div style="width:30%; height: 10px; display: inline-block; background: #6C210C"></div><div style="width:70%; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"></div>
</div>
(Please forgive the inline CSS, it's just for demonstration purposes. Also, unfortunately, if I put the second div on a newline and indent it, it creates whitespace)
The issue I'm having is that there is a large gap between the divider and the image. I have tried adding margin: 0px and padding: 0px to all the relevant elements, and the whitespace is still there.
Could someone help me out please?
Thanks,
YM
To me it's a vertical alignment issue. You can try
.banner {
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
div {
height: 10px;
vertical-align: top;
}
That way you don't have to use negative margins (which aren't wrong, just controversial practice).
Check it out here
you can make the position relative and then set the top to something minus. ex:
position: relative;
top:-10px;
left:0px;
this is actually float problem
<img class="banner" src="http://regency.ymindustries.com/static/images/winelist.jpg">
<div style="">
<div style="float:left;width:30%; height: 10px; display: inline-block; background: #6C210C"></div><div style="width:70%;float:left; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"></div>
</div>
css
.banner {
width:100%;
float:left;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/eLbUU/4/
using display block and floating the divs, also making sure the img itself is display block with overflow hidden I was able to tighten up the stripes to the img : fiddle
.banner {
width:100%;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
div div{
float: left;
}
First of all, put the darker brown in the lighter brown div. That way, when the window is re-sized, you don't compromise the sizing percentage and/or spacing.
<div style="width:100%; height:10px; display: inline-block; background: #E5C697;"> <div style="width:30%; height: 10px; background: #6C210C;"></div></div>
And with the space, you can either use negative margins or floats like others have mentioned.
.banner {
width:100%;
/* margin-bottom to the banner is negative which moves the div upward */
margin-bottom: -10px;
}
fiddle here
Putting display: block; for the image class and float:left; for all other elements may help.
.banner {
width:100%;
display:block;
float:left;
}

Just a simple image that uses some jQuery to fade some content over the top when moused over.
Only problem is that when the hover over takes effect, the hover spills into the div gutter making the hover over bigger than the actual container.
each image is layed out like so
<li class="large-4 columns item">
<div class="description"><h1>Image hover</h1></div>
<img class="display" src="http://placehold.it/400x300">
</li>
Can see a live example here.
http://jsfiddle.net/QLUMH/
Any ideas on ways to fix/improve what I am doing here? Cheers
Demo
Here you have live example,
you are giving 100% to width and height.
so that really goes overflow.
Code edited-
#portfolio .description {
position: absolute;
background: rgba(0,199,134,0.8);
display: none;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
}
The issue is that your description fills the entire column, which is wider than your image. If you add an "inner column"/container that collapse to the same width as your image, it will work alright. I've created a fork of your demo that demonstrates this.
I've added a wrapper "ib" (Just stands for inner block. rename this to a proper name) inside each .column.item like so:
<div class="ib">
<div class="description">
<h1>Image hover</h1>
</div>
<img class="display" src="http://placehold.it/400x300">
</div>
And then just created a very simple CSS rule for making this wrapper collapse to its contents:
.ib {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
You did not style your li. The issue is that in foundation.css it is getting padding-left and padding-right. You need to remove that and use margin-left and margin-right instead. And you also need to fix the width of the li. As .description will get its 100% height. So you need to include a small css in your own file (don not modify foundation.css).
#portfolio li.columns{
/* You can use the width in '%' if you want to make the design fluid */
width: 400px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px 0.9375em;
}
Fiddle
You'll just have to get rid of the padding on tne li
li{ padding:0 }
or use the the box-sizing property:
`li { box-sizing:border-box; -moz-box-sizing:border-box; }
Change in CSs will help,
I have updated the same in fiddle
with change in CSS,
#portfolio .description {
position: absolute;
background: rgba(0,199,134,0.8);
display: none;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
}
#portfolio .description h1 {
color: white;
opacity: 1;
font-size: 1.4em;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 20%;
width:400px;
height:300px;
overflow:hidden;
}
Update:
If the H1 created extra cutter and wrapping issue(for some), please use the DIV tag instead, which should work fine!
I hope this will solve your problem :)
I have two divs that are not nested, one below the other. They are both within one parent div, and this parent div repeats itself. So essentially:
<div id='parent_div_1'>
<div class='child_div_1'></div>
<div class='child_div_2'></div>
</div>
<div id='parent_div_2'>
<div class='child_div_1'></div>
<div class='child_div_2'></div>
</div>
<div id='parent_div_3'>
<div class='child_div_1'></div>
<div class='child_div_2'></div>
</div>
I want to get each pair of child_div_1 and child_div_2 next to each other. How can I do this?
Since div's by default are block elements - meaning they will occupy full available width, try using -
display:inline-block;
The div is now rendered inline i.e. does not disrupt flow of elements, but will still be treated as a block element.
I find this technique easier than wrestling with floats.
See this tutorial for more - http://learnlayout.com/inline-block.html. I would recommend even the previous articles that lead up to that one. (No, I did not write it)
#parent_div_1, #parent_div_2, #parent_div_3 {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid red;
margin-right: 10px;
float: left;
}
.child_div_1 {
float: left;
margin-right: 5px;
}

User float:left property in child div class
check for div structure in detail : http://www.dzone.com/links/r/div_table.html
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.
