Any clue how to stop a DIV element from getting pushed down in a table?
Here's the page: http://www.panabee.com/domain-name-generator/healthy%20food
As you can see, the "Variations" DIV element in the left-hand side is pushed down unnaturally. It should be top aligned with the "Ask for help..." image, but for some reason the presence of the image pushes down the Variations" DIV element. If I replace the image with a little text, the top boxes in the two columns are again top aligned.
Any clues?
Thanks!
P.S. Feel free to offer feedback/suggestions on the site, too! Thanks all.
you need to add to your css vertical-align:top; for #main_box
add vertical-align: top; for #main_box. Because you have the reset, the td takes vertical-align: baseline; and override the "valign=top" in html.
The anchor a tag in your right side bar (inside the ask_for_help div) has a vertical-align of baseline. Remove that and you will be good to go.

I'm trying to do jquery pagination, however I'm having a problem keeping the navigator on the bottom, even with clear: both.
The problem is that the navigation div <div class="alt_page_navigation"></div> needs to be right where </ul> ends and cannot be in another div, or else the pagination get's broken.
Another problem is that because the page is dynamic, I don't know the width of the alt_page_navigation beforehand.
Here's a live page example, I've tried everything google spit up, to no avail.
If anyone knows of a simple solution, please let me know :)
Thank you :))
Clear won't work with your inline-block display, but you need that for centering.
Try this solution for creating a clearing div, then put
<div class="clearfix"></div>
between your products and your pager.
Put padding at the bottom equal to the height of your nav, and position like so:
.wrapper { position:relative; padding-bottom:1.5em }
.nav { height:1.5em; position:absolute; bottom:0 }
For example: http://jsfiddle.net/CwrMq/
But there's no reason to use absolute positioning, either; just make it a proper display:block item. For example: http://jsfiddle.net/CwrMq/1/
Your .alt_page_navigation div has display: inline-block set on it. If you delete this line in css - your div will clear the floats. If you want its content to be in the center of the page simply add text-align: center to it and make sure that its content is inline-block (now your a are block-level). You can see the working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/6FNH6/
Here is a solution i tend to use in situations like this.
Your paginator needs to go inside a container that positions it horizontally
See this fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/94MwF/1/
Basically you are using text-align to horizontally center it, and position absolute to put it at the bottom.
My page looks like this: http://ink-12.terc.edu/index.cfm
I want to get the picture (kids' drawings) on the left to follow the rest of the centered content, when the window expands:
Per the suggestions I found in other answers, I added an outer div (#maincontent) to hold my two divs that I want to scroll instead of wrap (#tbltframe and #drawings), and some additional coding (overflow:auto; display:inline-block; white-space:nowrap).
Now my page looks like this:
http://ink-12.web5test.terc.edu/index.cfm
So now it doesn't wrap (great!), but it cut off my drop shadow on the right side (you can still see it on the bottom). And I need to get the main content centered again (following the centered header and footer)--similar to the first webpage I listed. After the changes, the main content aligns left. I tried adding margin-right and margin-left:auto, as well as text-align:center, but neither did it. I also added a min-width, which doesn't seem to do it either. I can see the drop shadow again when I change the min-width to something significantly larger (74em), then but I don't know why, because #tbltframe (50em) and #drawings (14em) = 64em total.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Suggestions to move forward with the code on either webpage I listed would be fine. Thank you!
Please try the below css on skeleton.css line 64
#maincontent {
display: inline-block;
overflow: auto;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 1169px;
}
It will increase the width of the main content div so the images will not cut from sides..
Found a solution: http://www.search-this.com/2008/08/28/lets-all-get-inline-in-a-block-in-a-block/
Have to:
Create a min-width or width on the outer div (#maincontent)
Make #maincontent a block element with display:block
Center #maincontent with text-align:center
Make the inside divs (#drawings and #tbltframe)not wrap in #maincontent with white-space:nowrap;
Make the inside divs inline block elements with display:inline-block
Then make the text inside wrap again (if you want) with white-space:normal
I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the my pictures div show in the right place
here is a fiddle which looks worse the my page bust will give you an idea of what i"m trying to do
here is how it really looks a the of the page and at the `!
as you can see the div "pictures" has space above the pictures inside it and they pictures are pushed out at the bottom making my gradient incorrect.
I can't figure out where the extra space is coming from
additional
there is additional space on the right that grows while you expand the browser window until the next picture can fit then it shrinks. how can I make it so it stays at like 10px until the next picture fits
The problem you're having is that the div.spacer at the top of your pictures DIV is clearing the floated a.home (the sidebar, if I'm not mistaken). A possible solution would be to put overflow:hidden on the pictures DIV.
(Basically, you can control the "scope" of CSS clear by using overflow to create what is called a "block formatting context". If you apply overflow:hidden to the pictures DIV, then clear:both elements inside of that DIV cannot clear floats outside of that DIV.)
You have top: 200px; in the CSS of your pictures div
Hard to tell with the JSFiddle but:
div.pictures {
position:relative;
top:200px;
width:90%;
margin:auto;
background: rgba(255,255,238, 0.25)
}
Looks like that top:200px; rule is adding significant space.
try putting a <br style="clear:both;" /> at the end of the div!
Set top in the div.pictures to 0px;. However, it's difficult to tell if this is the result you want using Fiddle.
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.

I'm using a background image to add a custom bullet to list items in my content. In the content there are also images floated left. When an image and a list item are next to each other, the bullet appears where it would do if the image wasn't there, but the text wraps around the image.
Here is an example:
http://golf2.test.textmatters.com/content/greenkeepers/turfgrass/turfgrass_speci/cool_season_gra
is there a way to make the bullet appear where is should (i.e. next to the text)?
In Firebug / Firefox (you'll have to check other browsers) I solved your problem adding a:
li {
overflow:hidden;
}
Don't know why exactly, but that magical line solves lots of problems around floated stuff :-)
Edit: Solution if you can change the html slightly
If you have any control over the html, you could perhaps use paragraph tags instead of list items:
p.list_item {
background: transparent url(/++resource++stylesheets/images/bullet.gif) no-repeat scroll left 0.45em;
padding-left: 11px;
}
However, that would kind of change the semantic meaning of the list items...
This is an old topic... but thought I would add how I usually do this in case someone stumbles in here via a search...
If I have an image on the left, and plan to have graphic bulleted unordered list (UL) to the right of it, I place the image statement inside DIV tags, and add a float:left style to that DIV.
Then, I wrap my UL tags inside a DIV, and give that DIV a float:left style as well, causing it to appear to the right of the first DIV.
If I have additional text that I would like to resume UNDER my UL, then I give the second DIV a width that equals the total width of the page/column minus the graphic width - basically, to account for all of the space to the right of the image. That will force continuing text to flow directly under the UL DIV, and if the UL is shorter than the graphic, the text will flow to the right of the graphic and then under the graphic as expected.
If the UL extends lower than the graphic, then the text will just start under the image, as expected.
If you want the text to simply start UNDER the left graphic regardless of the height of the UL, then you could just apply a clear:both style to the ensuing , i.e.
In general this approach works so long as the UL isn't too much taller than the left image, because obviously in this scenario, the list itself isn't going to wrap under the image, leaving whitespace - so to make a long list look right may require some purposeful image sizing, or stacking a couple of images in the first DIV, or whatever other solution you might have.
If you really want to get whacky, I've had a few times where I've used the two DIV method described above, but setting the first DIV to position:relative, and placing the second DIV containing the UL INSIDE the first, with a position:absolute and of course top:??px and right:??px, set of course to absolutely position my UL to the right of the image. It takes the right kind of layout to use this method, obviously...
OK that's all I had to say, hope this makes sense & good luck to whomever!
Try wrapping your list items in a <p> tag, and then give that tag a left margin.
Why do you have div.fig width set to 0 in the html?
<div class="fig" style="width: 0px;"><img src="/images/43_Fescue.jpg" float="0"/></div>
Remove that and the list will float around the image.
Well, it's not the best fix from a stylistic point of view, but floating the images right avoids this problem. Thanks for everyones suggestions
If you want the whole ul to NOT float under the image try adding overflow:hidden to the ul
