I have a layout like this:
Header div
divLeft divRight
Footer div
divLeft is a bunch of text and divRight is a div with some stuff in it. divLeft is a lot longer and I would like the text to wrap under divright. right now it's just making two columns and there's a lot of white space under divRight. Help? Thanks!
Put divRight inside divLeft and float it.
Try this:
CSS
<style type="text/css">
#primary, #header, #footer {
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
#secondary {
float: right;
width: 200px; /* or whatever width you want */
}
</style>
HTML
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="primary">
<div id="secondary">
<p>Put your content here that goes on the right</p>
</div>
<p>Put your content here<br />
that goes on the left<br />
and should wrap under the right-hand column</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
You can float divRight right. That should allow the left div to wrap under the right text.
Edit: You will also need divRight inside of divLeft as described by Donut.
Place divRight inside divLeft and give it these properties:
.divRight {
display: inline-block;
display: -moz-inline-box;
-moz-box-orient: vertical;
vertical-align: top;
zoom: 1;
*display: inline;
}
I have a very nice solution; take a look at the source of the example here.

I am creating a simple css chart responsive that works on any browser.
This is my code:
<div style="width:500px;height:300px;">
<div style="width:10%;height:20%;background:#00ffff;float:left;"></div>
<div style="width:10%;height:40%;background:#00ffff;float:left;"></div>
<div style="width:10%;height:80%;background:#00ffff;float:left;"></div>
</div>
But as you can see, the chart is inverted:
http://jsfiddle.net/xkd6twsq/
I tried with:
position:relative;
bottom:0px;
but doesn't work:
http://jsfiddle.net/xkd6twsq/1/
Use display: inline-block instead of float. The parent needs display: table-cell and vertical-align to align graph to bottom.
<style>
div {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
div div {
display: inline-block;
width: 10%;
background: #0ff;
}
</style>
<div style="width:500px;height:300px;">
<div style="height:20%;"></div>
<div style="height:40%;"></div>
<div style="height:80%;"></div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/xkd6twsq/4/
The problem is the float:left, using display: inline-block will get what you want:
<div style="width:500px;height:300px;">
<div style="width:10%;height:20%;background:#00ffff;display:inline-block;"></div>
<div style="width:10%;height:40%;background:#00ffff;display:inline-block;"></div>
<div style="width:10%;height:80%;background:#00ffff;display:inline-block;"></div>
</div>
All about floats from CSS-tricks explains when to use floats and this display types answer details why floats are not the best option.
I have a link and a button, each in their own div, and then wrapped in a shared div. The link is centered on the page, and the button is aligned to the right side of the page. I want to keep this, but have the two items on the same line. How can I do this?
Use floats on your divs, something like this:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="center">
center
</div>
<div class="right">
right
</div>
</div>
and for css:
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
}
.center {
float: left;
margin-left: 50%;
}
.right {
float: right;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/uK5hM/
This code:
<div id="columns">
text
</div>
<div id="columns">
text
</div>
<div id="columns">
text
</div>
Is coded with this css:
#columns {
width: 200px;
float: left;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
The problem is that if I put any text below the three columns created, it just adds another column! I want the footer to be below these columns, but I can only do this so far by setting this:
footer {
/*height: 50px;*/
text-align: center;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
}
And this just makes the page longer, i.e. puts a huge gap between this content and the footer.
Any solutions?
Thanks
Elements are floated left making document flow modified. Document flow needs to be reset right before writing footer. It can be done by setting property clear:both for the footer (in fact just after .columns are finished).
A working jsfiddle is here.
CSS:
footer{
clear: both;
}
Suggestion (outside scope of question):
You should change id="columns" to class="columns" as in valid html markup, id's should be unique. (thanks michael)
try this
demo
css
*{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#columns {
width: 200px;
float: left;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
background-color:red;
}
.clearfix{
clear:both;
}
footer {
/*height: 50px;*/
text-align: center;
position:absolute;
border:1px solid red;
}
html
<div id="columns">
text
</div>
<div id="columns">
text
</div>
<div id="columns">
text
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<footer>footer</footer>
When using any floated items, the default behavior is for them not to count towards other content in that area, so they'd appear to one side of other content.
Of course, if you want to prevent that, the clear property will essentially continue below any floated items on one (or either) side before it.
footer {
height: 50px;
clear: both; /* can also use `clear: left` here */
}
try after removeing bottom:0; and put below html code after third column
<div id='footer'>
<p>Footer Content</p>
</div>
You need to use the css clear for your problem
like clear :both for id/class of you div
text
<div id="columns">
text
</div>
<div id="columns">
text
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
<footer>footer</footer>
The body of my html document consists of 3 elements, a button, a form, and a canvas. I want the button and the form to be right aligned and the canvas to stay left aligned. The problem is when I try to align the first two elements, they no longer follow each other and instead are next to each other horizontally?, heres the code I have so far, I want the form to follow directly after the button on the right with no space in between.
#cTask {
background-color: lightgreen;
}
#button {
position: relative;
float: right;
}
#addEventForm {
position: relative;
float: right;
border: 2px solid #003B62;
font-family: verdana;
background-color: #B5CFE0;
padding-left: 10px;
}

Floats are okay, but problematic with IE 6 & 7.
I'd prefer using the following on the inner div:
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 0;
See the IE Double Margin Bug for clarification on why.
You can make a div that contains both the form & the button, then make the div float to the right by setting float: right;.
Old answers. An update: use flexbox, pretty much works in all browsers now.
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: flex-end">
<div>I'm on the right</div>
</div>
And you can get even fancier, simply:
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around">
<div>Left</div>
<div>Right</div>
</div>
And fancier:
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-around">
<div>Left</div>
<div>Middle</div>
<div>Right</div>
</div>
You can use flexbox with flex-grow to push the last element to the right.
<div style="display: flex;">
<div style="flex-grow: 1;">Left</div>
<div>Right</div>
</div>
Note that while this answer is not wrong, it is very outdated methodology written in 2015
Other answers for this question are not so good since float:right can go outside of a parent div (overflow: hidden for parent sometimes might help) and margin-left: auto, margin-right: 0 for me didn't work in complex nested divs (I didn't investigate why).
I've figured out that for certain elements text-align: right works, assuming this works when the element and parent are both inline or inline-block.
Note: the text-align CSS property describes how inline content like text is aligned in its parent block element. text-align does not control the alignment of block elements itself, only their inline content.
An example:
<div style="display: block; width: 80%; min-width: 400px; background-color: #caa;">
<div style="display: block; width: 100%">
I'm parent
</div>
<div style="display: inline-block; text-align: right; width: 100%">
Caption for parent
</div>
</div>
Here's a JS Fiddle.
If you have multiple divs that you want aligned side by side at the right end of the parent div, set text-align: right; on the parent div.
Do you mean like this? http://jsfiddle.net/6PyrK/1
You can add the attributes of float:right and clear:both; to the form and button
Maybe just:
margin: auto 0 auto auto;
Simple answer is here:
<div style="text-align: right;">
anything:
<select id="locality-dropdown" name="locality" class="cls" style="width: 200px; height: 28px; overflow:auto;">
</select>
</div>
Sometimes float: left leads to design problems, for that cases you can use display flex like this:
.right {
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-end;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 0;
}
<div>
<div class="right">Right</div>
</div>
If you are using bootstrap, then:
<div class="pull-right"></div>
One way could be setting a parent div for those elements that need to be pulled right and do the rest like the way shown in the the example below to have them right-aligned:
.parent-div {
display: flex;
float: right;
}
/*Below: child-div styling is not needed for this purpose! this is just for demonstration:*/
.child-div {
text-align: center;
background-color: powderblue;
margin: auto 10px;
height: 100px;
width: 50px;
}
<div class="">CANVAS div </div>
<div class="parent-div">
<div class="child-div">child 1</div>
<div class="child-div">child 2</div>
<div class="child-div">...</div>
<div class="child-div">child n</div>
</div>
If you don't have to support IE9 and below you can use flexbox to solve this: codepen
There's also a few bugs with IE10 and 11 (flexbox support), but they are not present in this example
You can vertically align the <button> and the <form> by wrapping them in a container with flex-direction: column. The source order of the elements will be the order in which they're displayed from top to bottom so I reordered them.
You can then horizontally align the form & button container with the canvas by wrapping them in a container with flex-direction: row. Again the source order of the elements will be the order in which they're displayed from left to right so I reordered them.
Also, this would require that you remove all position and float style rules from the code linked in the question.
Here's a trimmed down version of the HTML in the codepen linked above.
<div id="mainContainer">
<div>
<canvas></canvas>
</div>
<div id="formContainer">
<div id="addEventForm">
<form></form>
</div>
<div id="button">
<button></button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here is the relevant CSS
#mainContainer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
#formContainer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
hasnt been mentioned. if there are 2 elements (even if one is an empty div) it will place one on the left and one on the right.
<div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-between;">
<div id="emptyDiv"></div>
<div>I'm on the right</div>
</div>
You can simply use padding-left:60% (for ex) to align your content to right and simultaneously wrap the content in responsive container (I required navbar in my case)
to ensure it works in all examples.
You can do it easy by just add this css:
(Works in IE11)
<div>
<!-- Subtract with the amount of your element width -->
<span style="margin-left: calc(100vw - 50px)">Right</span>
</div>
I know this is an old post but couldn't you just use <div id=xyz align="right"> for right.
You can just replace right with left, center and justify.
Worked on my site:)
I'm having an issue aligning three divs inside a parent div, the effect I need is the following
|IMAGE| +TEXT+ |IMAGE|
Each div contains an Image (2) and the text (1) respectively. Aligning them is easy, the problem is that I want the CENTER div to auto width to the size of the browsers' window and keep the other IMAGE divs always on the right and left side respectively.
Something like this for example, if the user maximizes the window:
|IMAGE| +++++++++++++++++++TEXT++++++++++++++++++++++++ |IMAGE|
As you can see, the idea is that the center div grows, and auto width but keeping the structure.
How could I get that behaviour? Thanks in advance.
#container { text-align: center; }
#div-1 { float: left; }
#div-2 { display: inline; }
#div-3 { float: right; }
If that still doesn't behave how you want, please give more detailed requirements.
Here is another inline implementation for three images side by side:
<div style="text-align:center">
<div style="float: left"><img src="image1.png"/></div>
<div style="display: inline"><img src="image2.png"/></div>
<div style="float: right"><img src="image3.png"/></div>
</div>
This works rather well as well.
.container{width: 100%; padding: 5px;}
.fig-left {float: left;}
.text {float: left;}
.fig-right{float: right;}
/* add margins maybe */
.text, .fig-right, p{margin: .75em;}
and HTML https://codepen.io/tradesouthwest/pen/MWELwGN to test
<div class="container">
<div class="fig-left">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/id/1055/200/300"/>
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP don't forget the alt in images QRSTUVWXYZ</p>
</div>
<div class="fig-right">
<img src="https://picsum.photos/id/1055/200/300"/>
</div>
</div>
