How can I get an image to stretch the height of a DIV class?
Currently it looks like this:
However, I would like the DIV to be stretched so the image fits properly, but I do not want to resize the `image.
Here is the CSS for the DIV (the grey box):
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
}
The CSS being applied on the image:
.product{
display: inline;
float: left;
}
So, how can I fix this?
Add overflow:auto; to .product1
In the markup after the image, insert something like <div style="clear:left"/>. A bit messy, but it's the easiest way I've found.
And while you're at it, put a bit of margin on that image so the text doesn't butt up against it.
Assuming #John Millikin is correct, the code
.product + * { clear: left; }
would suffice to do the same thing without forcing you to manually adjust the code after the div.
One trick you can use is to set the <div>'s overflow property to hidden. This forces browsers to calculate the physical size of the box, and fixes the weird overlap problem with the floated image. It will save you from adding in any extra HTML markup.
Here's how the class should look:
.product1 {
width: 100%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0px 0px 15px -5px;
background: #ADA19A;
color: #000000;
min-height: 100px;
overflow: hidden;
}
This looks like a job for clearfix to me ...
Try the following:
.Strech
{
background:url(image.jpg);
background-size:100% 100%;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:500px;
height:500px;
}
display:inline
float:left
is your problem
Floating makes the parents width not be stretched by the child, try placing the image without the float. If you take the float off, it should give you the desired effect.
Another approach would be to make sure you are clearing your floats at the end of the parent element so that they don't scope creep.
Update: After viewing your link Your height issue as displayed, is because the floats are not being cleared.

I have a layout using DIV tags and I have having a hard time controlling the fill of the div tags as well as unnecessary scroll bars. When the content in the "rightside" div tag doesn't fill the screen there is still a scroll bar on the page. How do I cut the tags so they don't fill past the first screen if not needed.
A second issue that I have is when there is enough content in the "rightside" div tag to create the need for a scroll bar, the background of the "sidebar" div tag does not extent to match the bottom of the "rightside"
I have played around with so many of the tag, I have no clue where to go from here. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Here is my CSS Code:
.content_container {
border:2px solid red;
overflow: auto;
height:100%;
}
#sidebar {
background:#a4c2c2;
width:231px;
font:12px georgia;
color: #336666;
line-height:18px;
float:left;
position: absolute;
overflow:hidden;
z-index:-1;
height:100%;
min-height:auto;
}
#sidebar div {
height:2000px;
}
#rightside {
float: left;
width: 500px;
height:100%;
margin-left:231px;
padding: 10px 0px 0px 25px;
}

EDIT-
I solved my issue, well almost, with a table. However there is a weird border issue happening and I can't seem to solve it. The side bar and rightside div tags dont seem to completely cover the content_container div. Any suggestions?

Hopefully I've understood your issue... You had a couple of stray /div tags plus you'd opened paragraphs with P and closed with /p and some duplicated classes in your CSS :)
EDIT - Updated fiddle; http://jsfiddle.net/richardblyth/L9afr65f/
The key is setting all relevant elements to
height: 100%;
position: relative;
And on your container
overflow: hidden;
See my fiddle :)
I'm trying to center images in a container but it is not working. Til sofar the css looks like this;
#wrap{
min-height: 100%;
}
#imagebar{
position:fixed;
margin:0 auto;
top:60%;
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background: yellow;
}
#albums{
margin:8px;
display: inline-block;
}

I thought that margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto; would be good but thinks are not working how I thought it would be.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks...
#imagebar {text-align:center;}
Your images aren't block-level elements, so simply applying text-align:center; to their parent will do the trick.
Since #imagebar has a width of 100%, its automaticly centered. You can center the images by using text-align: center within #imagebar.
I however think you want a specific 'content box' within #imagebar that is centered.
You can fix that by making a div inside #imagebar with a fix width (in px or %) and add margin: 0 auto to that inner div.
I have here a code in Dabblet: http://dabblet.com/gist/5705036
I wanted to have these segment to stick at their position even if the browser is re-sized without using absolute positioning. Like for example, The main content container breaks a new line when the browser is re-sized [I use CSS Floats in most of my containers].
Is there something wrong with my coding?
Do floats proper for layouts ? or I need to use anything else?..
I just can't fix it by myself and by doing a lot of research , still, haven't got a good idea to use it as a way to fix this. [Also, I use HTML5 tags such as: section, article, nav, etc.. ]
Just remove the float:left; from maincontent id and apply a display:table-cell;. Your issue will be resolved.
Here is the code.
#maincontent {
border: 1px solid #BBBBBB;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
display: table-cell;
margin-top: 15px;
min-height: 400px;
padding: 2px 6px;
width: 700px;
}
Hope this helps.
First of all You should always clear parent element if You use floats inside the parent element. Your right element go down because You don't have minimal width of container, ther is sample of code:
#contentWrapper {
width: 1000px;
overflow: hidden; /*scroll / auto it's depends on You */
}
I noticed that in your code you had a space in <div id="contentWrapper "> which stopped your CSS for that element from appearing. Also, you needed 2 more pixels of width on your #contentWrapper.
#contentWrapper {
width: 992px;
}
Removing the space and changing the width of #contentWrapper worked for me. I had a quick look at the maths but haven't worked out why it needs to be 992px. Anyone?
So, in answer to your question, I'd say floats are fine and your approach is good, there were just those two minor errors.
.mainCoverWrapper {
position: relative;
min-width:312px;
background:red
}
I'm trying to center a div with min-width of 312px and make it expand according to its dynamic content while keeping it centered.
Right now the min-with doesn't work at all because it needs a float. I can't use a float because I need the div centered on the page.
In other words, div starts out with margin auto with a width of 312px and expands with its added content while being centered. Is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a working example of the parent to follow the width of the child, and the child will expand according to the text given in it.
.myCoverWrapper {
border: 1px solid Peru;
margin:auto;
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
background: red;
}
.test {
height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
background: cyan;
}
This makes the parent div follow the width of the kid.
This however, will disallow you to "center" it. There's no way you can have both. This is because you cant center an image without knowing the width of the element.
The solution is to use jQuery, to add CSS in when necessary.
Here's an example. There's some bugs, but well, you have the general idea.
If you want the width to be fluid, your best bet is to set display: inline-block; on the to-be-centered element, and text-align: center; to the parent element.
See: CSS center display inline block?
I have an image with float:left, and I’d like it to overflow its parent, but cut off the overflow. Here’s what it looks like without any overflow rules:
Here’s what I want:
Here’s a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZA5Lm/
For some reason, it was decided that overflow:hidden without an explicit height results in the element growing.
Can I somehow achieve the effect I’m after without setting an explicit height? An explicit height doesn’t work because I want this div to size automatically based on content length and browser width.
In my opinion using overflow: hidden without setting dimensions doesn't make sense. If you don't want to specify the height of the container and if your images have a fixed width you could use this solution: http://jsfiddle.net/ZA5Lm/11/
The image is positioned with absolute, taking it out of the text-flow. However - and I'm aware that this may be ugly - you need to specify a padding-left to move the text away from the image.
It's a bit tricky (I use relative + absolute positioning and a specific padding to position text) but it does the effect you asked without changing markup or setting height:
body {
padding: 10px;
}
img {
float: left;
position: absolute;
left : 10px;
}
div {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 280px;
position : relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
I just inserted style (even if float:left would be no longer necessary)
I seen a post over at CSS-Tricks and it talked about this. Go check it out at -

It might be useful :) Good luck
Also just looked at your code and I added float: right to your div so it looks like this -
div {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px;
float: right
/*overflow: hidden;*/
}
Not sure if that's what you want?
