Given the following code:
<div id='upperDiv' style='min-height:200px'>
<div id='rightDiv' style='float:right; width:75%'>
content1
</div>
<div id='leftDiv' style='float:left; width:25%'>
content2
</div>
</div>
<div id='lowerDiv' style='height:50px; margin-top:5px'>
content3
</div>
When content of rightDiv and leftDiv passes the 200px height (the value of min-height), upperDiv does not grow, so its content overlaps the lower div.
If the float attribute is removed from the large content, it grows and causes problems.
I do not know which of rightDiv or leftDiv exceeds 200px inheight.
How can this be fixed?
Set #upperDiv any of the following:
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
or
float: left;
width: 100%;
or create a rule using CSS pseudo-elements (IE8+ compatible) like this
#upperDiv:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
Best solution
Creating a reusable class rule like the following.
.group:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
Now you can apply it to anything that needs this same functionality. For example...
<div id='upperDiv' class="group" ... >
P.S. If you require IE 6/7 compatibility, checkout this post.
This is intentional as floats are designed for things like images in paragraphs (where multiple paragraphs can wrap around the image).
Complex Spiral has a fuller explanation as to why and Ed Elliot describes a number of approaches to making containers expand around floats. I find the overflow: hidden approach works best in most situations.
After
<div id='leftDiv' style='float:left;width:25%;'>
content2
</div>
add
<div style="clear:both"></div>
It will solve your problem.
There is a new property introduced recently display: flow-root; Which will fix this issue without any hacks and have almost all major support
<div id='upperDiv' style='border: 1px solid #000000; display: flow-root;'>
<div id='rightDiv' style='float:right;width:75%;'>
content1
</div>
<div id='leftDiv' style='float:left;width:25%;'>
content2
</div>
</div>
<div id='lowerDiv' style='height:50px;border: 1px solid #000000;margin-top:5px;'>
content3
</div>

We are animating a calendar using GSAP. The calendar is draw using css table, row and caption...
We wanted to animated some part of this table.
But better than words here is a codepen to open on safari:
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/rmrJRy
var body = document.getElementById('body')
TweenMax.to(body, 1, {x: 400});
.table {
display: table;
width: 500px;
}
.header-group {
display: table-header-group;
}
.body {
display: table-row-group;
}
.caption {
display: table-caption;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: solid 1px blue;
text-align: center;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/gsap/1.19.1/TweenMax.min.js"></script>
<div class="table">
<div class="caption">Fevrier 2017</div>
<div class="header-group">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">L</div>
<div class="cell">M</div>
<div class="cell">M</div>
<div class="cell">J</div>
<div class="cell">V</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="body" id="body">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">1</div>
<div class="cell">2</div>
<div class="cell">3</div>
<div class="cell">4</div>
<div class="cell">5</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
PS: I just decided to hack around with some position absolute. But would like to hear to better solutions.
The key point in your example is the "TweenMax" operation, which will adds a "transform" property to the "body" class. It seems a bug of Safari: if a positioned element, or a element who creates a new stacking context, appears as a child element of the table, a re-render bug of caption will be caused in Safari.
Unfortunately, there seems no better solution, for now.
Absolute position maybe the best choice you should rely on.
Yes, here maybe a better solution. We already known that Safari cannot handle the situation we've mentioned above by itself, appropriately. So, we can try to tell it how to prepare a rerender for the table caption. Adding a will-change property to the caption element is the way. In this case, we add the will-change with the value "transform" to the caption. Then, everything will be Okay.
The details about will-change property could be checkout here
I have a special structure of divs and want for both divs the same height without setting height in css. Can anybody help me and explain why the following jsFiddle doesn't work as I want it?

You will have to add few more divs having table properties like :demo
.table {
display: table;
width: 88%;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
I have two div's that I am trying to position side by side but am having trouble. I understand that div's are block elements but I have never had trouble positioning them side-by-side before..
HTML:
<div class="contact">
<div class="team" id="staff-1">
<div id="DIV_2">
<img id="brian" src="../img/brian.png">
</div>
</div>
<div class="team" id="staff-1">
<div id="DIV_2">
<img id="brian" src="../img/brian.png">
</div>
</div>
</div>
I do not want to post all of the CSS because it is rather long for a SO post, but here it is loaded in a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/rynslmns/5pQJ7/
You can either use floating or inline-block elements:
.team {
float: left;
width: 33%;
}
OR
.team {
display: inline-block;
width: 33%;
}
I would choose "display: inline-block" as you don't have to clear the floating afterwards.
IDs "staff-1", "brian" and "DIV_2" are repeated. DOM id is unique.
You simply need to use css float to get them to be side by side.
.contact {
overflow: hidden;
}
.team {
float:left;
}
Here is your example code:
http://jsfiddle.net/jcfB3/
Note, your IDs were incorrect, you can't have 2 IDs that have the same value, I made them unique. Also, utilizing floats without any other content in a bounding block element has some issues which I fixed in the example code. See http://www.quirksmode.org/css/clearing.html for more info. It is the reason why I added overflow: hidden.
How to make a div stop wrapping?
Set this style on your div. It works in Chrome and IE. I haven't tested other browsers.
overflow: auto;
Do you mean you want <div class="objectives"> to appear below <div class="icon">? If so, div.objectives { clear: left; } should do the trick.
Or do you want the entirety of <div class="objectives"> to appear alongside <div class="icon">? If so, div.objectives { float:left; } should make it happen. You may also need to specify a width on div.objectives. Alternatively, remove the float code and set both div.objectives and div.icon to { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; }.
This works just edit the code and replace it with the code below
<div class="icon"><img align="left" alt="" src="/resource/uploads_scope/issues/090113/090113_pairedText_featuredSkills.png"></div>
<div style="overflow: auto;">
<h5>Featured Skills:</h5>
<p>Compare and contrast; vocabulary; shades of meaning.<br>
<strong>Other Key Skills: forming and supporting a claim, inference, author’s craft, key ideas.</strong></p>
</div>
<div style="clear:both;">
</div>
</div>
I have multiple elements in the a single div.
I want to align one element as "text-align: right" and another element "text-align: left"
Check the below code:
<div class="image_meaning" style="display: none; background-color: white; height: 35px; margin-left: 1px;">
<input type="checkbox" id="points" value="Temporal Filter" style="text-align: left; "/>
<label for="tempral_filter" style="text-align: left; ">Points</label>
<img style="text-align: right;" src="{{ STATIC_URL }}img/cross.png"/>-abc
<img style="text-align: right;" src="{{ STATIC_URL }}img/blue_triangle.png"/>-cde
</div>
but when I run the code it places both the element to the left.
any idea how to do it?
Answer
There are a few ways to solve your issue the most common one is using the css float property (as of 2016). The more modern ways are using flexbox or grid.
Solution using flexbox
You could use display: flex to do this.
Flexbox is only supported by newer browsers, If IE (9 and below) is your friend please stay away from this method.
Example html:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="block"></div>
<div class="block"></div>
</div>
Example css:
.wrapper { display: flex; }
.block { width: 50%; }
Live demo.
Solution using grid
You could use the new display: grid to do this.
Grid layout is only supported by the most modern browsers (Sep 2017), If you are building on evergreen browsers then great, if not use flex.
Example html:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="block"></div>
<div class="block"></div>
</div>
Example css:
.wrapper {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
}
Live demo.
Solution using float
The css float property is the classic way to do this and can be dated back to prehistoric times so it supports basically every browser. The only caveat to this would be the clearfix issue (see below).
Example html:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="block-left"></div>
<div class="block-right"></div>
</div>
Example css:
.block-left { float: left; }
.block-right { float: right; }
Please be aware that floated elements cause their parent to disregard them when it comes to their height. If that is an issue (usually it is), you can use the clearfix hack to solve this situation.
You would define it like so:
.cf:before,
.cf:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
.cf:after { clear: both; }
And then on your parent element:
<div class="wrapper cf">
This will allow the parent to correctly receive the floated elements height.
Read more about what is the clearfix hack.
Live demo.
Other solutions
Solution using inline-block
You could also possibly use the inline-block property to put your elements side by side.
Note that the inline-block option will need to account for white space in the html between the blocks. To counter this, either remove the space like below, add a negative margin or define the font-size on the parent as 0.
Example html:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="block"></div><div class="block"></div>
</div>
Example css:
.block { display: inline-block; }
/* Optional zero font for wrapper
Then reset blocks to normal font-size */
.wrapper { font-size: 0; }
.block { font-size: 16px; }
/* Optional negative margin if you can't
remove space manually in the html.
Note that the number is per use case. */
.block { margin-left: -.25em; }
Live demo.
Solution using position: absolute
Another way to do it would be to absolutely position your elements with a relative container. This method has the issue of being less flexible than the others when building responsive layouts and alike.
Example html:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="block block-left"></div>
<div class="block block-right"></div>
</div>
Example css:
.wrapper { position: relative; }
.block { position: absolute; }
.block-left { left: 0; }
.block-right { right: 0; }
Live demo.
Why your solution is not working
You are using the text-align css property which will effect inline elements and text but it can't be used to shift the element like you would with the float property.
The text-align property effects the children of the element it is applied to.
Use float: left and float: right instead of text-align
