My code is something like the below. When theres 3 images everything is fine once theres 4 it gets full and moves the entire div.top into another row. How do i make the div inside top just start a new row instead?
I tried writing .top width=500px but once it hits or passes it instead the images inside are squeeze together instead of each being 150x150. I tried max-width on top instead and in opera and chrome i see the border of top as 500width but the images continue to render pass it. (i have a firefox problem with my div so the width looks fixed to something else).
So how do i make these divs go into another row? and not try to squeeze together
<div class="top">
<div><a href><img/></a></div>
<div><a href><img/></a></div>
<div><a href><img/></a></div>
</div>
I may need more information here, it's hard tell exactly what's happening. A screen-shot perhaps?
I would probably start with something like this:
.top {
width: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.top div {
display: inline;
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
}
Here's a solution that might help (used it in my example, just customized to fit your example)
.top {
display: block;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.top div {
float: left;
display: block;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
width: 47%; /* Not needed, but in my case I needed 2 columns */
}
Basicall, the .top div float: left; is what is making my images to go to next row if columns are full.

I'm using bootstrap 'featurette' feature. On the page there is a text on the left and image on the right. when you shrink the browser size, they go on top of each other, with the text at the top and the image at the bottom. How do I change this so that the image is frist and then the writing underneath?
Ad example is here http://getbootstrap.com/examples/carousel/
If you notice the feature part you will see what I mean when you resize.
I have tried changing the float position as thats the only thing I can think of but it didnt work.
P.s just to clarify, I still want them the same place when over 756px (or whatever the size is) but just want the image at the top when it changes size in the example above.
You should use display:flex property to the container for both and use order property for the elements for example is below. Try changing the order of the elements and have a look.
.elements-container{
background: #000;
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
display: flex;
}
.text-box{
order: 2;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
color: #ffffff;
background: #ff0000;
display: block;
}
.image-box{
order: 1;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
display: block;
}
<div class="elements-container">
<div class="text-box">This is text</div>
<div class="image-box"><img src="http://lorempixel.com/200/200" /></div>
</div>
Ok, I'm fairly new to CSS and am following this Rollover Buttons code (http://www.elated.com/articles/css-rollover-buttons/). The thing is I want 9 buttons (3x3). If I repeat the code and rename the id's, they all repeat in line down the page. I'm thinking I want to make div's, but not sure where to go next.
HTML:
<a id="emailUs" href="#" title="Email Us"><span>Email Us</span></a>
CSS:
#emailUs
{
display: block;
width: 107px;
height: 23px;
background: url("emailUs.gif") no-repeat 0 0;
}
#emailUs:hover
{
background-position: 0 -23px;
}
#emailUs span
{
position: absolute;
top: -999em;
}
How would I now repeat this code so that I have 9 buttons in a 3x3 grid?
There is a lot of ways to go about this, the simplest would probably be to make three divs each being a row of three links. You can see it here on codepen
You can put all 9 a tags something like this<div id="wrapper"> 9*<a href="..."> </div>. Beacause your a tags are having fixed width (107px) you can force your wrapper to have fixed width of 240px, but you still have to remove display: block;
Try hacking this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bk44c/
Other solution for your grid: add a float: left; margin: 5px to your a tags and increase the width of your wrapper width: 400px;

I am relatively new to front-end dev so a bit lost as to how i can go about this. I created a container that contains a slider and some images. My supervisor has a huge screen so obviously there will be empty space at the bottom of the screen. So he doesn't want that. Instead he wants the container to be centered horizontally and vertically based on the size of the user's screen.
How can I do this properly with as minimal code as possible? I believe there is jQuery plugin but wanted to see if there is a better way or if doing this makes sense at all or not?
Due to the flow-based nature of CSS, without Javascript this can only be done if the vertical size of the centered element is fixed, by applying a position:absolute' andtop:50%` within a fixed container, and then use negative margin to offset the container. Click here for JSFiddle Sample.
Alternatively the same effect can be reached by using display:table-cell, but that's kind of messy and loses you a lot of flexibility. Sample already supplied in the other answer here so I'll save myself the effort :)
You can do it easily using a vertical-align property.
Since vertical-align works the desired way way only in a table cell, this trick with display property can give you the desired effect.
#yourDiv {
// give it a size
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
html {
display: table;
}
body {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
See a fiddle with demo.
Try this:
HTML:
<div class="center"></div>
CSS:
.center {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 50%;
margin-left: -150px;
margin-top: -150px;
background-color: red;
}

How to horizontally center a floating element of a variable width?
Edit: I already have this working using a containing div for the floating element and specifying a width for the container (then use margin: 0 auto; for the container). I just wanted to know whether it can be done without using a containing element or at least without having to specify a width for the containing element.
Assuming the element which is floated and will be centered is a div with an id="content"
...
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div id="content">
This will be centered
</div>
</div>
</body>
And apply the following CSS:
#wrap {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
#content {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
Here is a good reference regarding that.
.center {
display: table;
margin: auto;
}
You can use fit-content value for width.
#wrap {
width: -moz-fit-content;
width: -webkit-fit-content;
width: fit-content;
margin: auto;
}
Note: It works only in latest browsers.
This works better when the id = container (which is the outer div) and id = contained (which is the inner div). The problem with the highly recommended solution is that it results in some cases into an horizontal scrolling bar when the browser is trying to cater for the left: -50% attribute. There is a good reference for this solution
#container {
text-align: center;
}
#contained {
text-align: left;
display: inline-block;
}
Say you have a DIV you want centred horizontally:
<div id="foo">Lorem ipsum</div>
In the CSS you'd style it with this:
#foo
{
margin:0 auto;
width:30%;
}
Which states that you have a top and bottom margin of zero pixels, and on either left or right, automatically work out how much is needed to be even.
Doesn't really matter what you put in for the width, as long as it's there and isn't 100%. Otherwise you wouldn't be setting the centre on anything.
But if you float it, left or right, then the bets are off since that pulls it out of the normal flow of elements on the page and the auto margin setting won't work.
The popular answer here does work sometimes, but other times it creates horizontal scroll bars that are tough to deal with - especially when dealing with wide horizontal navigations and large pull down menus. Here is an even lighter-weight version that helps avoid those edge cases:
#wrap {
float: right;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
#content {
left: 50%;
position: relative;
}
Proof that it is working!
To more specifically answer your question, it is probably not possible to do without setting up some containing element, however it is very possible to do without specifying a width value. Hope that saves someone out there some headaches!
Can't you just use display: inline block and align to center?
Example.
for 50% element
width: 50%;
display: block;
float: right;
margin-right: 25%;
I've found a lot of similar questions, and tried out several solutions (including some of the so-called "holy grail" CSS layouts), but they don't quite do what I need.
I have a containing div (a CSS containing block) with id right. Inside it on the left side, I want a fixed-width div (a splitter bar, but it doesn't matter what it's being used for; id splitpane); on the right, filling the rest of the space, another div (id right-box below).
I've tried making the two inner divs display: inline-block (with vertical-align: top), setting the left one to width: 3px, but then there's no way to set the right to have width 100% - 3px. I've also tried using the float: left/margin-left: -100%/margin-left: 3px trick, but it has the same problem: the 100% plus the 3px overflows the parent containing block and causes a scroll bar to pop up. (Of course, it's not the scroll bar per se that's the problem; I could use overflow: hidden to remove it, but then content on the right would be truncated.)
Currently I'm using width: 99.5% for the right div, but that's a terrible hack (and is subject to overflow depending on screen width). It looks a bit like this:
<div id="right"><div id="splitpane"></div><div id="right-box">
...
</div></div>
With CSS as follows (float version, but the inline-block version is similar):
#right {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
width: 85%; /* this is part of a larger div */
}
#right-box {
width: 99.5%; /* stupid hack; actually want 100% - 3px for splitter */
height: 100%;
}
#splitpane {
float: left;
width: 3px;
height: 100%;
background: white;
border-left: solid gray 1px;
border-right: solid gray 1px;
cursor: e-resize;
}
Is it even possible to do this? This is for an internal app., so solutions only need to work in Firefox 3 (if they are specific to FF3, though, preferably it's because the solution is standards-compliant but other browsers aren't, not because it's using Firefox-only code).
DIVs are the wrong element type for this since they don't "talk" to each other. You can achieve this easily with a table:
<table style="width:200px">
<tr>
<td id="splitpane" style="width: 3px">...</td>
<td id="rightBox" style="width: 100%">...</td>
<tr>
</table>
The 100% will make the rightBox as wide as possible but within the limits of the table.
This is possible. Because block level elements automatically expand to take up any remaining horizontal space, you can utilise a block level element next to an uncleared floated element with your desired width.
<style type="text/css">
div {
height: 100px;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
}
#left {
background: #FF0;
}
#splitpane {
position: relative;
float: right;
background: #000;
width: 3px;
}
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="splitpane"></div>
<div id="left"></div>
</div>
See http://jsfiddle.net/georeith/W4YMD/1/
why you didn't use margin-left (since it was float layout) on right box?
so no need to create a splitter div...
#right{
width:200px; /*specify some width*/
}
#rightbox{
float:left;
margin-left: 3px; /*replace the splitter*/
/*margin: 0 3px; /*use this to give left & right splitter*/ */
}
yeah something like that, i hate empty div, it's not semantic and it's like putting a splitter on the "old" table way
If the div #right-box is only going to contain non-floated content it might be an idea to just put the content inside #right instead and let it wrap around the floated #splitpane.
