CSS - Div Flows Outside Of Parent Div, It Is Not A Float
should have read more in the forum. sorry.
Similar TutorialsIf you are getting results as in the above image, simply add "clear:both;" to the container (blue) div which you do not want affected and it will flatten its ceiling and stop any float's escaping. -Luke Hi, I have an irritating issue with netscape 6.2 on the PC. I have a div that is floated left and this div contains two child divs, also flaoted left. My understanding is that the parent div should be stretched by its children and this is what happens in msie 5.5+, mozilla firefox, netscape 7 and all the decent Mac browsers. Not however NS 6.2. Does anbody know why or a way of making it behave properly? Here is my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

many thanks Greetings, I want to make a layout of a web page, where there are two columns (or more), for instance, and when, later on, anyone pastes text in the left column (first column), it automatically fills the fixed height column and flows into the right column (second or next column), which may or may not be of fixed height, depending on the amount of content (i.e., if the content is too much, another identical page would be made and accessed by a "next" button, if it is not too much, then a fixed height that can take all the remaining text can be assigned). How can I code these two columns/divs and make them work correctly? Can they be made with future users in mind, who want to update the text themselves, but have no knowledge of code whatsoever? Like, for instance, they can only use Macromedia Contribute? Thanks for anyone taking the time to help and give tips. subject isn't too good anyhow.. i have 4 cells __ __ |1 | |2 | --- --- __ __ |3| |4 | --- --- 2 and 4 are said to float right, such that 1 and 3 define the height of the page.. but.. when the contents of 2 go LONGER than the contents of 1, number 4 doesn't float right properly.. instead this happens __ __ |1 | |2 | --- | | --- | | |4| --- --- __ |3| --- do you see that? 4 tries to float right, but since it's called underneath 1, and 2 is extended, floating right relative to the page doesn't make it ACTUALLY float right any thoughts that will render this properly? (namely that cells 1 and 3 will inherit the height of 2 and 4 somehow?) Hi There - Am converting another design from tables, working with a CMS (Drupal) and an existing CSS / table combination that I didn't write and have no choice about. Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section. Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later. Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page. On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section. Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links. ---------- First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back. Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section. If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug. So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu. --------- It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners. Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow. Code: <div id="top part" logo and searchbox </div> <div> that pesky space that disappears in IE when roll over primary links </div> <div id=navcontainer> dropdown and tabbed menu </div> <div id="navigation" class="menu> <!-- couldn't find the menu class in the css --> <div id="primary" class="clear-block"> contains barmenu - very fussy </div> </div> Here's the relevant CSS: Code:

This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture. here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at: http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages Code: div.float {
float: left;
BORDER-RIGHT: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-RIGHT: 2px;
BORDER-TOP: #808080 2px solid;
PADDING-LEFT: 2px;
FONT-WEIGHT: lighter;
FONT-SIZE: medium;
PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px;
MARGIN: 16px 2%;
BORDER-LEFT: #808080 2px solid;
COLOR: #000000;
PADDING-TOP: 2px;
BORDER-BOTTOM: #808080 2px solid;
HEIGHT: 200px;
WIDTH: 150px;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
div.float p {
text-align: center;
}
div.container {
border: 2px dashed #333;
background-color: #ffe;
}
div.spacer {
clear: both;
}
MY HTML is like this: Code: H1>How to create pages</H1> <P>The headings are used for splitting up the content file. An H1, H2 or H3 heading will dynamically split the document into new pages in the table of contents. An H4-heading is used as a heading within a page. See the following pages...<BR></P> <P></P> <DIV class=container> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 1" src="image1.gif" width=100> <P>caption 1</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 2" src="image2.gif" width=100> <P>caption 2</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 3" src="http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/image3.gif" width=100> <P>caption 3</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV></DIV></DIV> Hi all, I have a bit of an odd situation (prob not odd if you seen it before but I have no clue why its doing it!).... I have my webpage: http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text. They are links with the following CSS attached: div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab { PHP Code: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0'); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3em; background-color: #BCD6BC; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5; margin: 0 5px 0 2px; height: 1.5em; width: 140px; padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px; } div#Header #MenuSection { float:left; margin-top: 30px; } here is the HTML code for that part of the page. PHP Code: <div ID="MenuSection"> <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a> </div> <div style="clear:left"> </div> I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work! I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help and advice. Hey AHH I know that there is a lot of code to look at but I'm only working on the middle box with the cross. All I am wanting to figure out right now is how to get the parent div.icross to show all it's background in FF. It shows and looks how I want it to look in IE, so you can use that as reference. You guys are always so much help and I REALLY appercaite it. Thanks so much to whoever helps me. - Jacenta Here is the page: tri-m.com/index_newlayout.html Here is the css that only corresponds to the middle to make things easier for you to see: Code:

Please look at this page http://osake.garychus.com/menu2.asp I am trying to wrap a div (red border) around each category on this restaurant menu. For some reason the code looks right but the red border does not enclose the entire category section(s). I validated the html but think the issue is css related. Any help is appreciated. Is there a way to get the style sheet to let the inner tag to override the parent's tag? Seem that only one webpage need that while many other doesn't. I'll post the code below, take a look at the text-align:left ...... Code: <div style="margin:0px;padding:25px 30px;text-align:left;"> <img style="text-align:center;" src="..."> </div> I'm using a web application for an online survey system. The pages rendered are XHTML transitional ("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">")... but it doesn't validate (a big problem, I know). It looks like this initially... ...and I'm trying to indent the entire element below the header text like so... ...but the problem is that it applies the change not only the parent TABLE/DIV combo, but then the children as well (which is why the radio buttons ended up being shifted over too I believe). I can't change any of the code of the application, but the application references an external CSS file that I can edit only (so I can't change the fact that there aren't many/any classes assigned to the elements to use directly... but I can modify this one file and have the changes applied). What I've tried thus far is to use either of the following... Code: TABLE DIV {position: relative; left: 25px;}
TABLE DIV {padding-left: 25px;}
I found the tree using Firebug for Firefox. Is there a way to make the CSS code be applied to only the first/parent TABLE/DIV combo and not it's children? Maybe I could start with BODY TABLE DIV or something? I would really appreciate any assistance possible. Please look at this page - http://hometown.tmhdesign.com/ask.asp?faq=9 See how the <p> exceeds the containing box at the bottom? I put a border-bottom on the containing div to show you where the issue occurs. It does not happen in IE7 I just noticed it does it also on this page http://hometown.tmhdesign.com/staff.asp http://weightlossforever.ca/ Works fine in everything but ie7 the leaves appear in front of their parent, they should be behind it. Thoughts? I am confused by the "rules" of how to indicate what you are trying to style when an element is within other elements. Specifically in this case (but hopefully this lesson will be portable to other contexts). I have a UL with an LI (classed) that is within an id'd UL that is within an id'd DIV. Code: <div id="horzmenu">
<ul id="horznavmenu">
<li><a href='rooms.php'>Accomodations</a></li>
<li class='hot'>Location & Info
<ul>
<li><a href='/otherprops.php'>Other Properties</a></li>
<li><a href='/news.php'>News & Photos</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href='booking.php'>Booking</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
So if I were to wish to style this new UL and its LI's do I refer to: The parent UL as in: #horznavmenu ul ul { The parent UL and the class'd LI as in: #horznavmenu ul ul li.class{ Or? Thanks in advance for any feedback or suggested reading... Is there a way to get the style sheet to let the inner tag to override the parent's tag?

Hi guys, i have a problem with my CSS, i think there's something i'm not quite understanding. I should have a header which is one long div separated into three equal sized columns (three divs), each contain text which is inside its own div. Here's my code: HTML Code: <body> <Div class="Header"> <Div class="Left"> <div class="Logo"><img src="Images/ACE.png" alt="Logo" height="36px" width="56px"/> <div class="LeftText"> AIR CHARTER EXPRESS </div> </div> </Div> <Div class="Middle"> <div class="RightText"> Left </div> </Div> <Div class="Right"></Div> <div class="MiddleText"> Right </div> </Div> </body> and css: Code: @charset "utf-8"; /* CSS Document */ .Header { position:relative; height:40px; width:900px; border:solid 1px black; margin-left:200px; /*background-color:#000000;*/ } .Left { position:relative; height:40px; width:299px; /*background-color:aqua;*/ border-right:solid 1px black; float:left; display:inline; } .LeftText { display:inline; Height:38px; width:200; position:relative; top:-11px; border:solid 1px black; } .Middle /* actually right div */ { position:relative; height:40px; width:299px; /*background-color:yellow;*/ float:right; } .MiddleText { display:inline; Height:38px; width:200px; position:relative; border:solid 1px black; margin-left:60px; top:10px; } .Right /* actually middle div */ { position:relative; height:40px; width:300px; /*background-color:green;*/ float:right; border-right:solid 1px black; } .RightText { display:inline; Height:38px; width:200px; position:relative; border:solid 1px black; margin-left:60px; top:10px; } .Logo { Height:36px; width:66px; padding-top:2px; display:inline; }
its actually a little confusin seeing as the middle div appears on the right and the right div in the middle but i dont want to change any of the names in case it breaks so i'll live with! everything works fine except for the middleText div is not appearing inside it parent (right div) but on the outside of the whole header div. Can somebody please tell me why this is happening?thanks. Hello I have struggled to understand this issue. I have a large container and I want 2 or more dives to stay side my side but if I apply float left to the div(s) it leaves the large container. How do I do it so that the left divs push the large container with them. I've included my example. and a screen shot here [IMG]atrexstudio.com/float_left/Untitled-4.jpg[/IMG] <body> <style type="text/css"> .container { width: 600px; background-color: #0F0; } #left1{ background-color: #633; height: 100px; width: 100px; float: left; } #left2 { background-color: #639; height: 100px; width: 100px; float: left; } </style> <div class="container">why do the two left divs jump out the container? <div id="left1">left</div><!--left --> <div id="left2">left2</div> </div><!--container --> </body> </html> If I can understand this then I will not have to keep setting the length of the container manually. Thank you I appreciate you time. I have just a few more CSS bugs to iron out and I can't seem to figure this one out. Here's a link: http://www.plml.org/multitool/index.php In IE8/Firefox it works just as it should: the #solution_area div (contains the multiplication problems) doesn't stretch to its max width. In IE7 the #solution_area div stretches. I've tried taking out all of the contents of the .tab_content divs (just inside the #solution_area div) except for some gibberish text and it works fine. As soon as I put a single thing in, it stretches. What's going on? Hey guys, I am working on www. paulfenton .tk/wordpress: The side margins of this site are filled with background gradients. (they take up the left and right halfs of the site, with the main content drawn over the middle). The problem is, the div "bottomLeftGradient" is the width of the whole screen. I know this might be because I am using position:absolute, but that seems to be the only way I can make bottom:0px; take effect and cause this to sit on the bottom of the div rather than the top. It seems that if I use width:50%; that it works, but I did not have to do that for bottomRightGradient so something must be messed up here. Thanks for the help, -Paul |
