CSS - Css Float Won't Clear Even With Width & Overflow Fix
Hey all, up until recently I have used the various styles and hacks using :after or clear:both; to rectify and force divs to clear. However knowing that these methods won't validate and aren't strictly proper, I've decided to ditch all those methods and try to sort floated divs out correctly.
Here is the culprit; Code: <div style="height:144px; margin-bottom:10px;"> <div style="height:110px; padding:0px 0px 5px 0px;"> <div style="width:80px; height:110px; float:left;"> <div><!-- DYNAMIC IMAGE --></div> </div> <div style="width:655px; height:110px; float:left;"> <div style="padding:5px 0px 2px 10px;"><!-- DYNAMIC TEXT --></div> <div style="padding:5px 0px 2px 10px;"><!-- DYNAMIC TEXT --></div> <div style="padding:5px 0px 2px 10px;"><!-- DYNAMIC TEXT --></div> <div style="padding:5px 0px 2px 10px;"><!-- DYNAMIC DESCRIPTION --></div> </div> </div> <div style="height:29px; background-color:#D8D8D8;"> <div style="padding:7px 0px 0px 10px; margin:0px 5px 0px 0px; float:left;"><!-- DYNAMIC TEXT --></div> <div style="padding:7px 0px 0px 10px; float:left;"><!-- DYNAMIC TEXT --></div> <div style="padding:3px; float:right;"><!-- DYNAMIC TEXT --></div> </div> </div> The problem is with the contents of <!-- DYNAMIC DESCRIPTION -->. This is user entered through a HTML editor in their admin console. This can have line breaks etc. and therein is where my problem lies. I have restricted the showing of the "Description" text to 175 chars. Meaning, and providing the user enters more than 175 chars before a line break, it would rarely go on to a new line when displayed in the above page. However if a user added multiple line breaks the content would still display overlaying the bottom, and final div. Now I understand I could remove line breaks etc before rendering, but I would like not to have to do that, I would rather the "Description" div stretch to accomodate the text however it presents itself than run the risk of one day having "leaking" overlaying content. I tried the width:100%; overflow:auto; but this results in scrollbars. I don't want to use hidden either because again it rendered badly. I've also used clear:both; on the final div with no joy. Is there anything that can be done? I'm sure there is, maybe I just can't see the wood for the trees at the moment. Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance. Similar TutorialsI have some simple code that works in all recent browsers, including IE8+. But with some people out there still using IE7, for which it does something odd, and I've been asked to make it work with that as well. I've dumbed it down to it's basics, and it's just easiest to see with a visual. http://www.poweredpages.com/test.php I have four boxes, labeled 1 through 4. It's supposed to wrap at 3, with 4 to the right of that box. In IE7, It wraps at 3 (correctly, because of the clear), but then box 4, which has a float:left after the cleared 3 box, jumps back up to the 1 and 2 row. Any thoughts on how do get this working with the least amount of editing would be appreciated. In real life, I have the left boxes as a class "label" and the right boxes as another class "input", so if I could just add something to one of these classes and be done w/ it, that would be great. Of course, I could put another entire DIV around each row to fix this, but that would require altering a whole bunch of code. Thanks!

Hi, Im not sure whats going wrong with this, but I have two DIV elements on the page: 1st div "googleMap" CSS for googleMap: #googleMap { height: 300px; width: 500px; float: left; } 2nd div "page_right" CSS for page_right: #page_right { width: 300px; clear: left; float: right; } Could someone please tell me why page_right DIV is not clearing the googleMap div? I've just about had enough so hope some kind person will no the answer!! Here is the live page (showing the flaw): belvoir-mortgages.co.uk/contact.php Thanks Lee In this header www.johnschureman.com I have an image, an h1 and a subtitle div. Code: <div id="header">

<div id="subtitle">
<!-- Here's the tagline -->
<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>

</div>
I cannot figure out in my css how to make the subtitle appear below the h1. Code: #header {

Hope this is enough info. I've been playing with clear, position, etc. Help? Thanks in advance. - Willi I can't figure out how to clear the float for the columns with the text column 1 and 2.

Does anyone know why the clear: left isn't working on firefox 1.0 on this page. Generic Page with floating divs and then clearing them for a new line. http://section31.us/temp/float_boxes.html Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? This page works fine in Firefox, but in IE, the float makes the content move off the page to the left. I figured out that without a background-color applied to the .textBox style (which is the DIV that contains the text and image I am floating) it works. However, I really would like the .textBox to have a background color. Anybody knows what to do? Here is the page: http://www.jbbdesign.com/wip/index4.html many thanks, Julia Scenario::: So I got < div > or < p > with < img > inside. < img > that has < float:left >, so that text nicely warps around the < img > along its right side. I also got my < p > with < border:1px solid #CC33CC >, as I have lets say five words within < p >, now my < p > element and its border wraps around text and does not take < img > into consideration and it will seem fine as normal flow has been broken as explained by CSS standard, but I want to make sure that this border of my < p > or < div > element warps around the < img > as well, so we fix it with < div > that has < clear:both > and style, just an empty element. Question::: I would like to illuminate insertion of empty element with < clear:both >, although it makes perfect sense to insert such styled empty element to fix the flow so that it will wrap the < img > as well. But I wonder if there is another method available. It just feels redundant. Hi gyus! I am trying to recode an form we use, which is based on table layout, to use CSS layout instead, using the label element. The old layout had one input per row with a description text next to the input. After coming up with a successful CSS layout in Safari/Firefox/Opera I tried the page in IE and the layout failed. All my inputs are floated to the left (at the top, stacked after each other), but the labels are rendered correctly (one label per line) It seems like the label elements doesn't seem to clear the float (so that the label and inputs are aligned) I broke the code down to the following example: (sorry guys, I don't have the possibility to put it on an publicly accessible server) Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" []> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Testing</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="test.css"/> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8;"/> </head> <body> <form name="service" action="label2.html" method="post" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" accept-charset="UTF-8"> <div> <label for="audio_level">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level1">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level1" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level2">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level2" value="0"/> <label for="audio_level3">Audio Level:</label> <input type="text" id="audio_level3" value="0"/> </div> </form> </body> </html> And the CSS: Code:
body {
width:800px;
}
label {
display:block;
float:left;
clear:left;
width:100px;
text-align:left;
}
input {
display:block;
float:left;
width:100px;
}
Applying a <br> element with clear:left after each input seems to fix it, but I is adding extra markup really necessary? I can't figure out what I am missing to get the one label/input per "line" ...I am having a problem with images, they display correctly in mozilla firefox (i.e above the text) but incorrectly in internet explorer. I think it may be due to the float and/or clear functions or maybe the z-index function. here is the htm file... http://www.ajc.kwmaher.com/teebs/...and here is the css file http://www.ajc.kwmaher.com/teebs/style.css . Help appreciated. Teeb(s) My skills are a little suspect when it comes to properly using the clear and float elements in CSS and I have searched around for a good tutorial showing when and when-not to use the elements, but have not found anything that will suffice. Anyone have any pointers or tutorials that you think might be worth checking out? TIA. Hi all, I've spent several hours to solve this problem, but found nothing working . The problem (well, there are much more problems ) is that I use 2-cols layout, so the left column (menu) is floating left. And now I need in the one page's head to get 2 images, one aligned to the left, the other to the right and actual text of the headings. I've found 2 good solution: 1) Classic, use float:left on one image, float:right on the other, and text-align: center on the headings. First thing I don't understand, why the image on the right is moved down? You can see it here. Then, the clear property should be used to force the headings to end bottom the images, but clear can't be used, because it also clears the menu (floating to the left) so the headings ends bottom the menu. 2) Using absolute/relative positioning - headigns can be made relatively positioned, images absolutely, one with left:0 and the other with right:0, but then the contents following after the headings is moved to the top, mixed with the heading. Similar problem is being solved in this thread, but I didn't found there anything working . Can anybody help, please? Here are used CSS: Web.css, Fotogalerie.css. In a nutshell, I want the following page: http://kznf.com/test/example.html to display in IE7 how it does in FF3 and Safari 3.1 The only "solution" I've been able to come up with is to enforce a width on some wrapping div. The problem is that sometimes I want it to have a wider width, as seen in example2 http://kznf.com/test/example2.html Am I doing something wrong? Is there some ridiculous IE7 only solution out there somewhere? I've googled and searched forums and I'm about to give up and go back to table based layout! Someone help! Code:

Hello, I'm trying to float an image inside a content div that is inside a wrapper div that already has a float left (nav) div earlier in the html. I know that this means that the floated image div will not be cleared until after the already floating nav div, since this is the one that comes earlier in the html and is quite large. It leaves a large gap until it clears the nav div. I have tried a couple of things, here is the page I'm working on and this is the css file This hasn't been tested on Windows, so I have no idea how it looks. It has been tested on the Mac: Safari, Opera, Netscape and Firefox display as described above, but IE Mac is way off whack. The current setup of the page is this: HTML: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="breadcrumb"><a href="http://www.huntacular.com/">Homepage</a></div> <div class="image1"> <img class="left" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="red">Etiam vulputate rutrum dui. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.</p> </div> <div class="image2"> <img class="right" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="orange">Donec accumsan. Pellentesque ac est vitae sapien scelerisque auctor. Nunc pede diam, interdum vel, dictum ut, egestas eget, metus. Maecenas eget sapien.</p> </div> <div class="another3"> <img class="left" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150"> <p class="blue">Etiam vulputate rutrum dui.

Is there a work around? I thought I'd found one in the third attempt - the one with blue text, but I'm not sure if I've implemented it correctly. Also, IE Mac isn't doing any of these correctly either (well, nearly the second one, but I haven't tested this stuff on Windows either. Is there a solution? Heys, I have the following code: <html> <head></head> <body> <div style="width: 100px; height: 100px; border: 1px solid red;"> <div style="width: 200px; border: 1px solid green; float: left;">-</div> </div> </body> </html> In FF and IE7 it works the way I'm desiring; specifically, the child div (width: 200px is contained inside a box, however it breaks outside of it due to the width. ||||||||| ||||||||| |||||||||||| |||||||||||| ||||||||| ||||||||| That's how it should look; but I can't replicate it in IE6. Any ideas? Thanks It always amazes me how Microsoft can mess something up that was working before. Take the following example, a table cell set to a specific width, containing a div, width set to 100% of its containing block element (the table cell). Overflow:auto is applied to the div and content is placed in the cell that cannot be wrapped. See the code that follows: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <table width="200px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td style="width: 200px;"> <div style="width: 100%; overflow: auto;"> <p style="white-space: nowrap;">Content that should not be wrapped.</p> </div> </td> </tr> </table>
One would expect to have the table cell display with a width of 200 pixels and scrollbars will be displayed for the un-wrappable content. IE7 does not do that. It widens the cells width to accommodate the content. FF follows this perfectly. To fix this, one has to set the div to the same width as the table cell, like so: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <table width="200px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td style="width: 200px;"> <div style="width: 200px; overflow: auto;"> <p style="white-space: nowrap;">Content that should not be wrapped.</p> </div> </td> </tr> </table>
Only then, IE7 will correctly display it. Just something to keep in mind when working with percentage widths. I cant get the side menu (colored in red at the moment...will eventually be white like the rest) to overflow: auto with 100% height....i know that you need a fixed with for overflow and the only solution i could find (havent tried it tho) was to use javascript to get the window dimensions but i am trying to avoid using javascript. heres the code: <b>The Page:</b> Code:

I know that most of the css is in the page and not the external css but thats because i was modifying it heavily to see what would work and what wouldnt. The problem is the fixed width on the side menu as it wont be consistent across different screen resolutions. any help would be much appreciated as i dont want to continue work on this page until i can figure this problem out. I have a site with a fixed width, but a few pages on the site are reports with wide tables that overflow that fixed width. Per the spec, they overflow their containers instead of expanding the containers (as happened in the old table layout). Is there a way to get the old table behavior out of the styled div tags? This is a short example of what the site uses for layout. The first block is normal content. The second has content overflowing and I would like all containers to expand (Main expands for the content, Page expands b/c Main expanded, Header* and Footer expand b/c their container (Page) expanded). The third is what it'd look like after that expansion (table rendered). Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

I won't go back to tables, but I'd really like a general solution that can be applied to all pages, instead of doctoring widths and margins on the pages in question to get tolerable results. The page should be the set fixed width unless the content demands otherwise, then the entire page should stretch to flow. Any ideas? A screenshot for viewing sans personal test file. Dear all, IE problems trying to get a large amount of content to sit in a smaller div with overflow set to auto. In FF it works perfectly, but in IE the outer div ignores the width value I have set and instead expands to the width of the content. My code: Code: <div id="calendarWrapper" style="width:800px;height:600px;overflow:scroll;"> <div style="width:4000px;height:1000px;overflow:auto;background-image:url(img/calendarBackground.gif);position:relative"> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:76px;left:150px;width:1000px;height:74px;">Test</div> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:151px;left:300px;width:750px;height:74px;">Test</div> <div style="background-color:#FFFFCC;position:absolute;top:1px;left:75px;width:100px;height:74px;">Test</div> </div> </div> I found a couple more threads similar to this but none with a solution. any help most appreciated. Mark Hi, I've created a fixed width Div/CSS design for my forum, and while Firefox can handle excessively wide user-posted images, IE handles it badly and stretches the div that the image is in, breaking the layout. An example is he http://forums.hiveworldterra.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=496 (currently with my CSS work around - not pretty) What I would like is a non-Javascript, CSS-based method (or very minimal that gives acceptable results when JS is off) of making the containing Div of the image scroll horizontally when the image is over 590px wide, but not show a vertical scroll bar and not show any scroll bars if the image is under 590px. Is that even possible? thanks for any suggestions IBBoard I'm new to css web design and am attempting my first full layout. What I would like to do is have a hanging picture in the upper-righthand corner of the page that overlaps the header and content sections. All is well, until I specify a width or height on the content section. Although it looks fine in Firefox, IE either: a) moves the content section down or b) squishes the content to the side (if <!--<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>--> is in the html) Here's some much-simplified code to illustrate the problem: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
<link href="images/style_test.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<title>Sandbox</title>
</head>
<style type="text/css">
#header {
background-color: #cccccc;
border: 1px solid #564b47;
}
#content {
background-color: #c6dedf;
border: 1px solid #564b47;
width: 100%;
height: 400px;
}
#hanging {
float: right;
background-color: #ccff99;
border: 1px solid #564b47;
margin: 20px;
padding: 0;
width: 300px;

}
#footer {

}
</style>

Anyone know a work-around or how to fix this? Thanks! |
