This website http://www.elkaniho.com/ has a CSS layout which is what i want, you see, the divs stack on top of each other, not on a precise grid, but just at the bottom and on the side.
And when you re-size the browser, they all re-adjust perfectly?
anyone know how i can get the same layout like at elkaniho.com or what type of layout this is called?
There is also a neat jQuery plugin called Masonry that can deal with div's of varying width and stacks them up as tightly as possible. Depends on your content.
That's just a six column layout. Easily done with 6 divs:
<div id="container">
<div class="column">one</div>
...
<div class="column">six</div>
</div>
As a fluid layout:
#container { overflow: auto; }
div.column { width: 16%; float: left; }
You can of course fix the widths too.
Each column then has several divs which do what divs (and in fact any block element) do: they stack top to bottom.
The effect you are speaking of is created using javascript. If you look at the source code, you will find a link to a javascript file called funciones.js which includes functions called cajas and cajasInterior that are responsible for this effect. Also note that they are using jQuery.
The functions:
Figures out the maximum number of columns based on the body width, box width and margin
Sets all divs with a class of box and boxInterior to have absolute positions and set their width
Goes through each box and calculate the left and top positions.
I would contact the webmaster of the site and ask permission to use this script and change it to fit your needs.

The problem is (which you can see in the pictures below) that the "doner", "Wallet", and "Amount" aren't centered on the page.
I've tried changing the margin and padding and moving divs around and etc, but nothing seems to be working and I don't understand what is wrong or how to fix it. (it is hard to see in the code snippet because it's not full screen so I'm just going to give a link to the HTML here)
The only issue I can find is when I inspect element on google chrome. When I hover my mouse over <div class="container"> (the one underneath div class="learn-more">) It shows that the div container is wider on the right side, but I can't find why!
Thanks for the help! If you need any clarification please ask, I couldn't find anything to fix my problem online so I came here.
Here's a picture of what I mean as well:
The essential problem with your code is the markup. You're using the Bootstrap & putting some div directly inside the container & then another container inside this div. See what I mean:
Here are the first three rules from the 3rd Bootstrap documentation you should follow when building your HTML:
Rows must be placed within a .container (fixed-width) or
.container-fluid (full-width) for proper alignment and padding.
Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.
Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be
immediate children of rows.
So, my suggestion is to revise your HTML layout and use the Bootstrap as it intended instead of applying some hacks.
Start from rearranging containers in the way that the content would be put inside columns and all of the wrappers would be outside of the containers or inside the columns.
put your content that you want to center in a div like
<div class="box">your content...</div>
in your css file just add this :
.box{
display:inline-block;
position:relative;
left:50%;
transform:translateX(-50%);
}
you can also use a float left for your 3 titles and set the same witdh and height for the three with text-center proprety
I am trying to setup a website that consists of two main areas: navigation and content. The navigation portion needs to take up the full height of the left column. The main content will be in the left column. In an attempt to set this up, I'm using the following CSS:
<div class="full-height row">
<div id="navDiv" class="four wide column full-height" style="background-color:#40546C;">
<!-- Nav COntent goes here -->
</div>
<div class="eight wide column">
Main Content
</div>
</div>
I've created a fiddle with the full example here. What I'm trying to do in the nav column is three things: show a title, have tabs aligned against the bottom of the screen, and have the tab content take up the remaining space. Unfortunately, I'm not having much luck in getting this working. Specifically, I'm having problems getting the tab content to fill up the remaining space and the tabs aligned against the bottom of the screen.
Your help is much appreciated!
For future reference, you should try to mention that you were using an external grid system. It took me a couple minutes to realize what was happening and why there were so many classes on things. Not a big deal though :-)
I think this new fiddle should be pretty close to what you're talking about, though:
theFiddle
I first had to set the height of the body and html to 100% so that their children could be 100% as well. I then floated the navDiv left and gave it a width of 25%. You can tweak that width as needed.
#navDiv {
width: 25%;
float: left;
position:relative;
}
I then used absolute positioning to get the tabs at the bottom, and to get the tab content above the tabs.
I added new classes in several places to avoid collisions with the grid library. I also had to use an important to override the margins on the segment class, since I didn't want to remove anything that you were using in your grid.
There may be a way to to this layout using that grid more effectively. As I said, I'm not familiar with it so I just used plain CSS.
Just as an aside, this is one my favorite resources for brushing up on CSS Layout. Thought you might find it helpful:

Atm I'm doing my first attempt at a website, recently got a new job which requires me to learn some basic HTML&CSS so for a starters I set myself up to duplicate an exsisting site.
The question/problem is:
I wanna make 3 columns at 100% height, the left and right being scaleable to 0 upon downsizing the browserwindow, while the middle column is containing the actual content of the site, min-width at 60%. At lower resolutions im planning on implementing media-things in my css to remove the left n right columns when the resolution goes below a certaint limit.
I've set html&body&all to hight & width 100%.
I'm trying to do something a bit like here: The site im trying to duplicate
My current attempt can be found here: My attempt
Some code for the lazy ones that don't wanna inspect the site:
<div id=all>
<div id=leftmargin></div>
<div id=wrapper>
<div id=header></div>
<div id=nav></div>
<div id=content></div>
<div id=rightmargin></div>
</div>
</div>
Since im very new to web development, please excuse me if you need more info.
My problem is in essence that "leftmargin' and 'rightmargin' overlaps the 'wrapper'-div. I'd very much like that to be in the center of the page and then make the margin-divs 'expendable' at lower resolution by css.
I hope I made myself relatively clear, thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Mike
I'd avoid using a div for the sole purpose of creating a margin space. Instead, let your side bar content create the margin you're looking for. The content is overlapping the margin because it's not contained within the margin div. You'll need to tweak how the main content is centered by using "margin-left: " the same size as the sidebars or some other way, but it'll improve your overall structure.
As for text overlapping the container at small sizes, remove the "width: 18.8%;" and "white-space: nowrap;" from #lefttop and "max-width: 18.8%;" from #leftnav. This will let the text be the full width of the gray container on the left, and the words will wrap if the line doesn't fit.
Finally, to get rid of the side bars at small widths, as jerrylow recommended, use
/* screen sizes smaller than 750px apply these styles */
#media screen and (max-width: 750px) {
#leftnavwrap {
display: none;
}
#shortcut {
display: none;
}
#content {
width: 100%;
}
}
I am putting together a series of boxes with lists in them of variable lengths. The boxes are all the same width, but of varying heights. I would like to have the boxes populate on the top of the screen from left to right across the screen forming columns, with the number of columns dictated by the width of the screen. The problem that I am having is vertical gaps in the columns when the boxes wrap around. Please view the following pages with your browser at 850-1150px wide so that the content appears in 2 columns.
Using float:left I got this result
I found an example of another way to do it using display:inline-block; vertical-align:top; which looks better, but still has some vertical gaps.
The complete css code that I'm currently using on the page is as follows:
div {
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
padding:15px;
border:2px;
border-color:#000;
border-style:solid;
width:400px;
}
with the content being a bunch of <div>CONTENT HERE</div> boxes.
Thank you in advance for any help, it's much appreciated.
Solution using Masonry: Go to the masonry site masonry.desandro.com (listed above by nevermind in the comments), and download the "masonry.pkgd.min.js" production file. In the header of the page where you want the grid to work, reference the masonry file. In the body of the page, create an outer div container using the "Initialize with HTML" code snippet from the above site. Within that block, have div containers of the class "item" (or whatever the itemSelector is set to). Please note that you cannot format (at least that I can tell) the div class="item" so if you want to have a box around your content like I did, you will need a 3rd div within the floating div to perform that formatting.
I'm trying to make a HTML "showcase". I am thinking of using elements like this:
<div id="index-showcase-tabs">
<div id="index-showcase-tabslide">
<div class="index-showcase-tab" id="showcase-tab-1">Item1</div>
<div class="index-showcase-tab" id="showcase-tab-2">Item2</div>
...
<div class="index-showcase-tab" id="showcase-tab-N">ItemN</div>
</div>
</div>
The showcase items are floated left, and I don't know their precise width, nor the number of them.
Problem is: if the combined width of the items is bigger than the container (index-showcase-tabs), I don't want them to break line (which they do by default). I want them in one line, and I want to hide the overflow and then let the user scroll them with javascript (not by scrollbar...).
How would I do that?
PS: There's not much css for the items yet. I only gave the slider a specific heigth:
#index-showcase-tabslide
{
height: 34px;
}
Edit: Here you can see my problem.
Edit2: explaining more with a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TbSfj/19/
For this, you cannot use float: left. Instead use display: inline - this will have the same effect for what you want to accomplish, and it will not be constrained to the parent div in the DOM model.
check out this sexy control:
http://jsfiddle.net/SoonDead/U6QdQ/20/
this way made for my project, but I think it does what you want.
The tricks are:
Because you use a lot of characters that can "linebreak" and even forcefully disable linebreaks have different results in 1-2 browsers, I would recommend against it.
Instead make the overflowing width wide enough to hold all the elements easily, so if javascript is disabled it will not look ugly.
(I know that you are fine with jquery, so I use it within the example, also the outerWidth property in simple js has bugs in webkit (tends to be 0 in some cases).)
So you need to sum up the elements' outerWidth() and set the content holder's width, so you can use scrollLeft, and not overscroll.
There is no other trick, just a scrollTo function because calculating positions are not that trivial if you are new to jquery and you might want to use that.
