When I try to move the div #planet up (I change margin-top from -76px to -86px) my whole site "lifts up".
You can view the page here (and see the problem) http://rssreaderbg.net/pubsubbub/example/cssexam/index.php
It's because a div is a block element, so it stretches from one end to the other. So when you change the top of that particular div, you're changing the tops of all the following divs.
See the trick (an oldie but a goodie) at the bottom of this page http://css-tricks.com/the-css-box-model/ (as a for instance) to see how this works and to find out how to duplicate it for yourself.
try to add height parameter to "icons" div... when you change that margin now, size of parent div(icons) is affected and whole site moves up because that div changed height
just apply padding-top:10px; for the #container
Remove all margin of the class .iconss
Use position:absolute on #icons and set the position:relative in the class .iconss
Now, use top and left css property to set the icon position.
Cleber.
id=icons are above the id=nav. When you edit the top margin of an element in id=icons it effect id=icons. When id=icons goes up the others goes up too. I suggest you to use position css for icons and nav too.

I have a span element which I want to be present at teh right corner of the page. For that I have used margin-right:10px. But it shows no effect. Where as margin-left works. Why is this? And how to make the span element appear at the right side of the page?
Try this (jsFiddle)
.right-corner {
float:right;
}
or this (jsFiddle)
.right-corner {
position:absolute:
top:0;
right:0;
}
The reason that margin-right doesn't work is because it's just giving your element a right margin not repositioning it. To help you understand, if you put something after your element with margin-right there will be a gap between them which is the margin.
margin-left does this as well, it's just doing it on the left side and since elements are places from left-to-right there is the gap on the left side which looks like it just shifted to the right.
Have a look at this little example to try to understand. You should read up on the CSS box model if you don't understand.
Margin-right is the right margin.
If you want to align it to the right you can use right:10px that is if position is absolute.
otherwise you can use float:right
You can also set the display:inline-block to the span.

I think what you're looking for is float:right;
In order to complete #Tyriar answer, here's a fiddle also showing you the use of text-align: right. And why a margin can exist but have no observable effect. Also how to use the clear property after a floating element and/or a clearfix on containers of floating elements (both are not necessary here)

One more advice: do NOT use absolute positioning if you're not really (really) sure of what you want to achieve and how; most of the time it's not the best solution to a CSS problem. Completely out of the flow, its content will display over other content without any care...
I'm confused in some CSS trick. The scenario is painted below. In the 2nd container is a plugin like http://workshop.rs/projects/coin-slider/
I want to move that 2nd container up (the green one), to be connected with the menu bar. The purpose is, I want the Image Logo overlaping the 2nd container. How can I achieve that ?
I tried simply set the negative value of the margin-top property of the 2nd container but it causes that the div's are moved.
This should do it:
#container-2 {
display:block;
position:relative;
top:-0px /* <-- Put actual value here */
}
It would be easier if you could post you css code.
Somes possibilites:
set "image logo" margin-bottom to a negative value and make sure container#1 height isn´t preventing the bottom container go up.
or set both containers position: absolute and then set property top to match the desired result.
I would go for a position: absolute for the image logo.
The problem I'm having is I have two divs at the top of my page, one contains a repeating blue background, the other contains a background image.
I have to set the height of both divs in order for them to expand vertically, the don't expand with the content. I have that form on the right hand side set to overflow. Which I believe is what's causing the problem.
I have tried not having the height css in the code, but it still won't expand vertically.
In order to get the backgrounds to even show up I have to manually set the height.
This is the page: http://www.repipespecialists.com/landing/google/repiping.html
This is the CSS code:
#top_container {
width:100%;
height:1040px;
background-image:url(../images/top_bg_repeat.jpg);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
background-color:#83b4e9;
}
#top_header {
width:1200px;
height:1040px;
background-image:url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-color:#83b4e9;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I agree with WDan in that the issue you are having is due to your use of float: left and float: right on the left_content and right_content div elements.
When you use float on an element, you are basically removing it from the normal flow of the document. By default, elements will appear on the page in whatever order you specify in the markup. Using float (or things like position: absolute) will remove the element from this "order", or "document flow", such that the floated element will be ignored when placing other elements in their default position on the page.
Since the space used by these floated elements are ignored, the top_header div does not take the floated element's size into account when determining its own size. This is why your div is not automatically expanding.
Another alternative to float is to use display: inline-block. Here are some links you can read to learn more about the differences:

http://robertnyman.com/2010/02/24/css-display-inline-block-why-it-rocks-and-why-it-sucks/
I think the problem is you use float in 'left_content' and 'right_content'
Use “overflow: hidden” in the wrapper div.
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.
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
