CSS - Two Divs Next To Each Other That Expand Their Container?
Hi, what I'm trying to do is get two divs next to each other. That much I can do if I give them both a style of 'float:left;', but the problem with that is that they will overflow out of the div that they both sit in. Is there anyway to get two divs to sit next to each other, but to also expand the parent div if necessary? Thanks!
Similar TutorialsHello, i'm trying to make a tableless image gallery, each image is inside <span></span> (i don't know the dimensions of the image, it's resized by server side) while the div container expands fine, the span container does not expand to fit the image, and i also don't know how to vertically center it. i can't use <div> because images can be in the same row. Code:
body {
margin:0px
padding:10px;
background-color: #ffffff
}
body, div,span {
font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; color: #000000
}
a {
color:#000099
}
a:hover {
color:#0000ff
}
div.paging {
padding:10px;
border:1px solid red;
}
div.paging span {
padding-left:10px;
border:1px solid red
}
div.gallery {
padding:10px;
border:1px solid red
}
div.gallery span {
margin:20px;
border:1px solid green;
}
div.gallery img {
border:1px solid black
}
this is the result http://addf.net/tests/m_g/gallery.php is float the only option? must i float every element on the page? what if it's a module for another not floated website? i'd rather not use float or a table. if you could help thank you 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. Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="border: 1px solid #000; ">
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. The Example I've read a bunch about how div's won't stretch to accomidate div's inside of them if they overrun the height/min-height set for the container div. How do I get around this? You can see the skeleton of the site above. It's fine unless you resize the window smaller than the content. Is there a way to get the #middle div to stretch vertically to fill up the remaining space of the page, say with min-height etc.?

Hi guys! Just wondering if this is an easy fix, otherwise I'll just switch the layout to a table. HTML: Code: <div id="box"> <div id="left"> <h1>MENU left</h1> <p>Content on the left.</p> </div> <div id="content"> <p> content... </p> </div> <div id="right"> <p>content...</p> </div> </div> CSS: Code:
#box {
width:750px;
margin: 0px auto;
padding:0px;
border:1px;
}
#content {
width:400px;
padding:0px;
float:left;
overflow: auto;
}
#left {
width:173px;
padding:0px;
float:left;
background-color: #223344;
border-color:white;
}
#right {
width:173px;
padding:0px;
float:left;
background-color: #223344;
border-color:white;
}
I want all three columns to expand vertically to the size of the largest column. As of right now it's set up using CSS and I would prefer to keep it that way, but if switching the layout to tables would be much easier, I would be happy to do that too. Thanks for the help in advance! --links aren't working so if you have the patience to put the files defined for page and style sheet below after evaxu dot com this is a challenging problem!-- Hey Guys, I've recently got back into web design by making my girlfriend a professional homepage in dreamweaver and css. So far so good, and pretty simple, however I've been trying to format the CV page but now it's starting to unravel... Basically, each element has had a div box put around it so that these can be arranged and floated to the positions I want. This seems to have worked in theory, however the bottom div (or 2 as they're columns next to each other) overlap the container and remove the whole container's background. I have put this online on /resumecssfail.html and you can use the navigation to see how the container background is supposed to be working as on other pages. The /style.css style sheet can be found and the relevant id's are container, maincontent and those starting with cv at the bottom. All that has been changed for this page really are width, float and some padding. However I have tried to use attributes like clear, positioning, display and various re-sizing and float changing to the last elements - whilst also putting the whole CV in other css boxes etc etc. I have put the code through the WC3 CSS validator which says it's valid to css 2.1. I've trawled through blogs and forum posts but just can't seem to find a solution :\ One thing that does seem to help is removing the last div tag (or putting in another tag and putting a character after it - I'm thinking of using a white ".") but this wouldn't be valid css now would it?! I'm going to use these for now on the official site page, but please use the link above to see my error page that I'd like help with. Thanks! Here's the template I'm working on: http://dhost.info/justusvizslas/template.php Here's my problem: I'm trying to create a centered, two-column layout with a header and a footer, sort of like the tutorial he http://nemesis1.f2o.org/aarchive?id=7 I've got everything working correctly and it looks fine in IE. However, in FireFox, the container div doesn't automatically adjust its height to be the same as the height of the divs inside. Instead, I have to set the height at a certain number of pixils to even get the container div to show up. When I do that, in IE the container div defaults to the same height as the larger of the two inner divs, but in FireFox the container div just stays at whatever pixil height I specified. That becomes problematic because I don't plan on having all my pagecontent divs with the same height. Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I've been looking at this for hours and haven't gotten it to work like it should. Here's the relevant code too: CSS Code: #container {
width:792px;
height:50px;
margin: auto auto;
color:#000000;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
background-image:url(design/menuimage.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
}
#navigation {
width:125px;
height:auto;
padding:0px;
float:left;
margin-top:auto;
vertical-align:top
}
#pagecontent {
width:667px;
height:auto;
padding:0px;
float:left;
margin-top:auto;
color:#000000;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
text-align:center
}
PHP Code: <div id="container"> <div id="navigation"><?php include "nav.php"; ?></div> <div id="pagecontent"> <br />Some more content here<br /> </div> </div> Again, thank you in advance for any help with this. If you're stumped and think it should work as-is, go ahead and go to the actual template I'm working on (first http link in this post) and look at it in IE and in FireFox to note the difference. I am having a problem with a couple divs not rendering correctly. I'm building an online tournament bracket system, and I'd like the divs to be flush with each other, but in all browsers it's rendering incorrectly. css Code: Original - css Code <style type="text/css"> div { font-family: Arial, Verdana, "Times New Roman", sans-serif; font-style: normal; color: Black; } .gamecontainer { position: absolute; width: 120px; } .player { font-size: 12px; background-color: lightblue; width: 100%; text-indent: 0.5em; border: solid 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .infoblock { border-right: solid 1px; font-size: 10px; width: 100%; text-indent: 0.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } </style>

I have a div and within it are many floating divs, each that contain an image thumbnail and caption. I do it this way so the images fit on the page dynamically and it works great. Unfortunately the container div does not wrap around the height of the images. This causes content that should appear below the images to show up behind them. How do I make the container div actually stretch around all the child divs? here is a code sample Code: <div style="border: 1px solid blue; width: 100%; display : inline;"> <div style="float: left; margin: 2px;

I have tried numerous ways of floating and whatnot, here is what i want: I want to have one container, having 3 divs inside. of these 3 divs the left and the right one are fluid, the center one is an image with a fixed width. looking like this: Code: ________________________ l l l fluid fix fluid l ________________________ restrictions: i do not want to use positioning at all. best would be, if it is all achieved with float and margins, looking good in IE and FF .... i have a page up, that will show you my design .... note, that only the box containing the image is the problem part on that page (some of you will recognize this i believe) the names of the classes are textboxleft, textboxright and id big_logo thanx! i want to redesign the page i have to only be displayed with floats and margins and no more positioning .... Hi There - Have a simple container div containing two other divs, top and content. My problem is that I can't get the colorboxtop to stick to the top of its container. There's a wayward space. Can't find any stray margins or padding hanging around. Perhaps fresh eyes can see what I cannot. Please let me know. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Code:

Hello there, first post, just need a quick fix. Hope you don't mind. So I'm trying to make myself a new portfolio site, but there's this 'error' I can't seem to fix... (Can't post a link in my first post, so just copy/paste "hellspike.thanez.org/newsite" in the addybar.) Basically that 150*300 infobar is supposed to be right next to the image, but it always ends up above or below the container. <!--AK47--> <div id="imgcont0"> <div id="imgcont1"><img src="images/ak47/1.jpg"></div> <div id="imgcont2"><img src="images/ak47/info.jpg"></div> </div> <!--/AK47--> imgcont0 is a 825*300 container, in which imcont1 (render) and 2 (infobar) are supposed to be. Stylesheet: #imgcont0 { width: 825px; height: 300px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #imgcont1 { width: 650px; } #imgcont2 { margin-left: 675px; width: 150px; } As you see the code is simple, yet I can't seem to fix this problem. Ideas? Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF. Here's the site in Question: http://www.winchps.vic.edu.au It's a standard fixed width floated DIV columns with a wrapper. One thing it does have is a second DIV inside both columns to display the Gradient background over the top of the repeated background. It works perfect in Firefox & IE7 (with a tweak) but IE6 mkes the sidebar nested div drop below the original sidebar DIV click here for a screenshot for those lucky enough not to have IE6. Here's the CSS code for the basic layout: Code:
body {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px 0px 60px 0px;
padding:0px;
border: 0;
line-height: 2;
}
#header {
width: 802px;
}
#wrapper {
width: 802px;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(images/bodybg.jpg) center repeat-y;
}
#content {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#maingrad {
background: url(images/winchcontentgrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px;
}
#main {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
#mainstop {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000;
font-size: 10px;
}
#sidebargrad {
background: url(images/winchsidebargrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px 5px 0px 10px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
float: left;
background: url(images/winchsidebg.jpg) repeat;
line-height: 2;
font-size: 14px;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? I'm trying to get the footer to dynamically expand with the content in the box 1, 2, 3. How can i do this? The HTML Code:
<div id="footer">
<div id="box1">Content</div>
<div id="box2">Content</div>
<div id="box3">Content</div>
</div>
The CSS Code:
#footer {
min-height:150px
height:auto;
}
#box1 {
float:left;
min-height:150px
height:auto;
}
#box2 {
float:left;
min-height:150px
height:auto;
}
#box3 {
float:left;
min-height:150px
height:auto;
}
I have a page that uses CSS to handle layout. I also use a combination of CSS and javascript to create an expandable menu. I have a simplified version of this page he http://www.stringersites.com/csstest/index.htm Users of Dreamweaver will recognize this as being based on the HaloNavLeft template. As you can see, the page displays fine until you start expanding the menu items contained in <div id="mainMenu">. If you expand enough, the mainMenu box extends beyond the borders of the <div id="pagecell1"> in which it's contained. My primary question to the group is how to get the pagecell div to autoexpand along with the mainMenu div. My secondary question is how to stretch a vertical column to the height of the containing div. Specifically, this is <div class="relatedLinks">, which is contained in pageNav, which, in turn, is contained in pagecell1. The relevant pieces of CSS are included below, but you can link to the entire CSS sheet from the test doc above. Thanks in advance for the help. -Steve Stringer Code:
#pagecell1{
position:absolute;
top: 112px;
left: 2%;
right: 2%;
width:95.6%;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
#mainMenu {
background-color: #EEE;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
color: #000;
width: 350px;
position: absolute;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 20px;
}
#pageNav{
float: left;
width:178px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #F5f7f7;
border-right: 1px solid #cccccc;
border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;
font: small Verdana,sans-serif;
}
.relatedLinks{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 10px 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc;
}
God, this is really simple but I have forgotten how to get the containing box to expand Basically the text div expands but the containing div doesn't PHP Code: <div style="width: 300px; min-height: 200px; border: 1px dashed red;"> <div style="border: 0; width: 110px; height: 110px; float: left;"> <img src="#" width="100" height="80" border="0" align="left" /> </div> <div style="border: 0; width: 190px; min-height: 200px; float: right;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
