I am making a WYSIWYG webpage editor: http://brokenmyriad.com/editor2.php, however I have come across a problem when trying to add image functionality.
Note: the image is not inside a contenteditable element, but is just a normal floated image.
The problem can be recreated by clicking into either the paragraph or the heading and the clicking the insert image button on the toolar (the far right button). (on the above linked page).
In standards based browsers it works as expected, and the heading and the paragraph are both to the right of the image, however in ie6 the paragraph is under the floated image like in this picture: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2mfcfo8&s=3
My simplified code structure is as follows:
<div>
<img style='float:left'>
<h1>Click here to edit!</h1>
</div>
<div>
<p>Click here to edit!</p>
</div>
What I want is for the <p> element to be alongside the floated image, and under the <h1> element as it is in standards based browsers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Why is the paragraph in a separate div? Wouldn't the following work:
<div>
<img style='float:left'>
<h1>Click here to edit!</h1>
<p>Click here to edit!</p>
</div>
If you must have the divs, then the second one needs to be nested
<div style="float: left;">
<img style='float:left'>
<h1>Click here to edit!</h1>
<div style="float: left;">
<p>Click here to edit!</p>
</div>
</div>
Your second div should be floated left:
<div>
<img style='float:left'>
<h1>Click here to edit!</h1>
</div>
<div style="float:left;">
<p>Click here to edit!</p>
</div>
It turned out that the elements had width:100% on them, which was causing the error.

I am having trouble with aligning DIV tags. I am making a very basic page with Lightbox. In the old days, I would just make a table, align every cell vertically to the bottom, and move on. But trying to use DIV tags, having some trouble. When I do the code below, its pretty jumbled. 2 shorter DIV containers may align on one "row". Can someone point to me the best way to achieve this?
HTML CODE
<div id='wrapper' style='width:924px;>
<div style='float:left;width:308px;background-color:green'>
<a href='' title='title' rel='lightbox[10]' title=''>
<img src='' width='250px'>
</a>
<br/>
TITLE
</div>
<div style='float:left;width:308px;background-color:green'>
<a href='' title='title' rel='lightbox[10]' title=''>
<img src='' width='250px'>
</a>
<br/>
TITLE
</div>
<div style='float:left;width:308px;background-color:green'>
<a href='' title='title' rel='lightbox[10]' title=''>
<img src='' width='250px'>
</a>
<br/>
TITLE
</div>
...
</div>
Thanks!
See this fiddle. use a class instead of inline styles. I'm using inline-block here instead of float. the result is the divs are aligned at the bottom instead of the top. but be aware of whitespace in the code. see how I smashed your divs together. If there is whitespace a width of 33% is too much and will knock the third div down a line.The width of 33% is one third of the container so they each take up the same width.
I have a DIV that I want to use to display some formatted content in. However, I have problems with some text TAGs inside the DIV.
You can see my problem in jsfiddle.
Can you please help me solve this?
I need the content of the second "column" to be able to word-wrap and when it would do that, I want the next "line" to be moved down so it would not overlap it.
Basically I want to text to look normal inside the DIV.
<div class="container-right">
<div class="topul" style="background-color:#2ecc71; width:352px;"></div>
<div class="parent" style="min-width:350px; width:350px; height:445px;">
<p class="myp" style="color:#2ecc71; font-size:2em; margin-bottom:0px"> <b>Worker information</b>
</p>
<div class="topul2" style="float:left; background-color:#2ecc71;"></div>
<div class="d-table">
<div class="d-tablerow">
<div class="d-tablecell" style="text-align:right; width:30%">
<p class="myp3" style="color:#2ecc71">Name:
<p>
</div>
<div class="d-tablecell" style="text-align:left; width:70%;">
<p class="myp4" style="color:#2ecc71"><b>Some name</b>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="d-tablerow">
<div class="d-tablecell" style="text-align:right; width:30%">
<p class="myp3" style="color:#2ecc71;">Address:</p>
</div>
<div class="d-tablecell" style="text-align:left; width:70%;">
<p class="myp4" style="color:#2ecc71; display:inline-block"><b>Here goes a long text as address that does not word-wrap and exits the DIV</b>
</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="d-tablerow">
<div class="d-tablecell" style="text-align:right; width:30%">
<p class="myp3" style="color:#2ecc71">Other info:</p>
</div>
<div class="d-tablecell" style="text-align:left; width:70%;">
<p class="myp4" style="color:#2ecc71; "><b>Here is other information</b>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can see the CSS in the jsfiddle link above.
I give up... I am a newbie with CSS and HTML and so far this is done manually by me after digging on google. But now I have no idea how to solve this.
Please help.
Thanks
The problem is with your .myp4 styles
To avoid the overlap remove height: 2px;
To avoid bleeding from the div set max-width: 200px;
As mentioned above set heights are a bit of a nightmare unless you're going for a specific look. It's better to use min-height or max-height
NOTE: You should seriously split all your CSS into a separate file rather than having them in the elements
Also is there a particular reason for you to use crazy displays? You could achieve the same effect easily by having a div wrapping two other divs that are float left. display: block; will give you less of a hard time if you're a newbie. Aim for less code, not more.
Try setting min-height instead of height on the rows and/or cells.
The width of the table is the culprit, it's allowing its children to run wild on your page. .d-table {
width: 350px;
}
I don't understand why the fiddle at http://jsfiddle.net/zHH4D/
doesn't show the "to the right" outside the red area and to the right,
but inside the red block?!
I can put the div outside the parent div and this kind of works but it just doesn't make sense to me.
Where am i thinking wrong?
You have a typo:
<div style="width:340px;float:left;background-color:#f00;">
<div>above ok</<div> <!-- TYPO -->
<div>under ok</div>
</div>
This causes the browser to interpret your markup as best as it can, which results in this (copied from Chrome inspector):
<div style="width:340px;float:left;background-color:#f00;">
<div>above ok<!--<div-->
<div>under ok</div>
</div>
<div style="float:left;">
to the right?
</div>
</div>
Here's a fixed version:
<div style="width:340px;float:left;background-color:#f00;">
<div>above ok</div> <!-- Notice the closing div tag -->
<div>under ok</div>
</div>
I need to achieve something like this:
<a style="display:block;" href="#">
<div style="float:left;display:block;">Left</div>
<div>
<div style="display:block;">Right</div>
<div style="display:block;">Right Bottom</div>
</div>
</a>
Basically a button with 2 columns and the right column having 2 rows.
It shows up correctly in modern browsers with inline/block support but in IE6 and IE7, whenever I hover the left div (with float) it'll display as the 'select' text icon instead of the hand icon (i believe once float, block will be cancelled and displayed as inline). Is there any way I can achieve this without using an image as a whole? I need it to be text because it's important for SEO and retina displays.
:( :(
<a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank" style="display:block; overflow: hidden" href="#">
<div style="float:left; width:150px;">Left</div>
<div style="float:right; width:150px;">
<div style="display:block;">Right</div>
<div style="display:block;">Right Bottom</div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div><!-- This will clear the floats for IE -->
</a>
To avoid text cursor add this CSS -
a div{cursor: pointer;}

I have a problem where if I write divs like this:
<div class="asdf">
Some content..
</div>
<div class="asdf2">
Some content
</div>
Then the two divs render with a space in between. If I write it has such:
<div class="asdf">
Some content..
</div> <div class="asdf2">
Some content
</div>
Then a space appears between the divs... BUT i I write it as such:
<div class="asdf">
Some content..
</div><div class="asdf2">
Some content
</div>
Then no space appears between the divs. How is it that this is the case? How can I fix this?
In short, HTML renders white space. I assume that you're rendering these div's inline? The solution you gave is, simply put, the solution.
