CSS - Getting Div Contents To Wrap Sooner?
Hi there!
Okay, I'm working on some CSS for a page that is heavily javascript-based, it's a simple search-utility I'm fooling around with for university coursework and simply loads some amazon results, and finds related eBay results for each one. You can find the tool here (ignore any certificate warnings, I wouldn't recommend firing your credit-card details onto my site anyway =): https://devweb2008.cis.strath.ac.uk/~isimms/MashUp/ It currently only works properly in FireFox 3 or Safari 4 (preferred), and kind of in Google Chrome. I don't care much about this just now so use one of the first-two if you do visit the page! Now, once you enter a search (my typical one is "USB"), you'll get a list, on the left is the amazon image, and to the right of that is a "loading" div which will expand with some eBay results. Now, the problem I'm having is that if you shrink the window (or later on if more results are added) then the eBay box will wrap so that it is underneath the amazon image, before the results within the ebay box start wrapping. What I would like to do instead is have the eBay results wrap within their box, so the box stays to the right of the amazon image, while stretching downwards as required. I can't think of any way to do this though without specifying a width which of course isn't something I want to do as the amazon image is a fixed size (otherwise it won't remain square), while the rest of the page is variable-width. Anyone know what I'm getting at here and have any ideas how this could be done? Similar Tutorialsright now i have a div that is floated left. in Firefox, the width of the box depends on the contents. however, in IE, the width is 100% of the parent element. how can i make IE act like firefox in this situation? Hi guys, I normally just look at forums and lurk without joining however I've run into a problem in which case I have to ask. I apologize be for hand if this is in the incorrect place or if it sounds rude (from a person who just joined.) I'm having problems position my menu inside a wrap and to have it fully extend to the end (100%). I'm met with a couple of problems with everything I try. I would post a picture, however It wont let me as I just signed up. If needed I will reply with the link spacing out the url so its accepted, but thats if you require it. Here is the CSS code I use. #menuwrapper { /*holds menu*/ float:left; position:fixed; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 900px; height: 2em; background-colorink; border: thin solid orange; } #iframe { width:900px; height:500px; border: 1px dashed purple; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-align:center; z-index: 1; } .logo { width:900px; z-index: -1; } /*nav*/ #nav { width: 100%; height:2em; font-size: 14px; color:green; z-index:3; position:absolute; } #nav ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; width:100%; list-style: none; overflow:hidden; } #nav a { text-decoration:none; color:green; } #nav li { position:relative; /*main*/ list-style:none; float:left; width: 8em; height:30px; line-height: 2em; background-color: #e3d0d3; } #nav li:hover { /*hover when mouse goes over - default*/ background-color: #c4c5c7; } #nav li:hover a { /*text hover - col etc*/ display:block; float:left; text-align:center; } #nav li ul { display:none; } #nav li:hover ul{ display:inline; float:left; height:auto; margin:0px; padding:0px; text-align:left; } #nav li:hover ul li { width:100%; height:2em; border:none; border-bottom: 1px dotted black; } Any help on this will be a huge help. Many thanks G. is there another way to make text wrap and not expand the div? i.e a div 200px wide expands if too much text is put in the box. On other websites I have seen this happening and looked at the code but I couldn't see anything I wasn't doing? The only way I can fix it is by adding this to the css: word-wrap: break-word; surely there is another way??? This isn't a problem I just am interested to find out how else you can do it because I can't work out how else you can do it thanks when text is displayed in a div.. it only goes 75% of the width of the div and then line breaks. I want it to go 100% of the div and then line break. How do i solve this. Here is the css for the div. Code:
.message {
float:left;
width:98%;
background-color:#EFEFEF;
border: 1px solid black;
padding:4px;
overflow:auto;
margin-left:3px;
min-height:120px;
}
Hey all! I'm having a major word-wrap issue in IE and it's driving me bonkers. I've tried to research it, but couldn't find anything. Most of the problems people have with word-wrap are in FF, but I'm having noooo problems with it FF. I have a left nav for the site I'm building and I'm forcing a word break at 125px. In FF and IE, it forces the word break just fine. However, in IE, it also bumps out the width of the above div tag to what the width would be if the tag wasn't forced to break. It looks like all the div tags are the correct width, but the #col1 td tag won't allow a max-width. That's what I'm thinking anyway. Here's how it is in IE (ignore the borders): http://www.abellefeuille.com/mg/Untitled-3.gif Here's how it's supposed to look (again, ignore the borders): http://www.abellefeuille.com/mg/Untitled-3-FF.gif Here's the code: CSS: Code: #col1{width:148px;
vertical-align:top;
color:#666666;
font-size:12px;
padding-top:20px;
padding-bottom:20px;
}
.view_ln{max-width:125px;color:#333333;font-size:11px;font-weight:bold;padding:2px 0px 2px 0px;}
.view_ln h1{word-wrap:break-word;}
HTML: Code: <td id="col1" style="border:1px solid green;">
<!-- viewing -->
<div id="view" style="border:1px solid blue;">
<div class="ln-title">Viewing</div>
<div id="ln_keyword" class="view_ln">
<span class="line">Activity:</span><br/>
<h1>ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppa</h1> <a href="" class="x-search">(<span>x</span>)</a>
</div>
<div id="ln_brnd" class="view_ln">
<span class="line">Brand:</span><br/>
<h1>Marmot</h1> <a href="" class="x-search">(<span>x</span>)</a>
</div></td>
Any advice will be most appreciated. THANKS!! I'm creating a textbox that user text will be entered into. It has preset dementions, and I need to be able to scroll down when the text exeeds the height, but I need to be able to force the sides to wrap..... I was using this: <pre style="width:110px; height:130px; overflow:scroll"> but that let's them scroll to the side, too, I want to force a wrap on the sides, but still scroll vertically.... Is there any way to add a link to a wrap image Under Page structure I have made 4 wraps (displaying the relevant one-..image path is made-up) Quote: blah blah... #wrap4 { background:url("http://www.ssswww.com/yyy.gif") no-repeat 95% 0.3%; padding:15px; width:100%; width/* */:/**/auto; width: /**/auto; } #content { max-width:890px; padding:0 30px 50px; ...blah blah And under Body: Quote: <!-- Begin wraps --> <div id="wrap"><div id="wrap2"><div id="wrap3"> <div id="wrap4"> All I want to do is attach a link to the #wrap4 image so that the whole image would be a one giant link. Does anyone know a way how to do it? Thanks! i am making a web page using CSS. At the bottom of the page I have a box from left to right with thumbnails in it. I do not want these thumbnails to wrap. I tried whitespace:nowrap, but this makes the page really wide. The box the images are in has AUTO for the width. So if I re-size the window the width of the box re-sizes. Hi, I have a site which, due to a lot of extraneous code from the CMS, essentially, looks like this: Code: <div id="wrapper"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="left-panel"> [content] </div> <div id="full-panel"> <div class="standard-article"></div> <div id="prices">[table goes here]</div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> Basic CSS: Code: #wrapper {
width: 1007px;
}
#left-panel {
float: left;
width: 216px;
}
#full-panel {
width:735px;
}
The site is designed to be a fixed width of 1007px (and this is set in the CSS in various location: wrapper, header etc). My problem is that, within the 'prices' div, there is a table which can be many columns wide. At the moment, in IE6 (Firefox is fine), the full-panel div wraps down below the left-panel when I would actually prefer it to stretch outwith the boundary of the 1007px wide site. Is this possible? Can anyone assist? Thanks in advance. R I am trying to build a site with centered content that resizes with the browser window. Click here to see a test page of what I am doing. Notice that this looks and functions beautifully in firefox/Opera. Notice that it functions semi-beautifully in IE. The fact that it even works in IE at all is a miracle because when I was searching for an answer to my problem I stumbled upon this: PHP Code: width:expression(document.body.clientWidth > 800? "800px": "auto" ); which allowed me to specify the max-width for my content. Now what I would like to happen is when the browser window is resized, I would like the text to wrap to fit the window within the center content div. To see what I mean, view the page in firefox and narrow the width of your browser window and then try the same thing in IE. Is there a way to make IE behave like firefox?

T10L New and on the page, i am trying to float the right column on the right... like it is.. but problem is, when the text on the left continues past the right column, it isnt wrapping... like on this page... T10L Old i know it is because i have a width set on the "maincontainer" div... which is the left side, but if i dont do this, the right div will just be pushed to the bottom... any help or suggestions would be great... Greetings, How do you make a paragraph wrap around an image that is floated to the right or left? And what I mean here is not placing the image in a specific place in the middle of the paragraph code and then floating it, but wrapping text that comes from a tag like <p>$paragraphContent$</p> around an image that is floated left or right. Like basically, you don't know what exactly the text of the paragraph is, but whatever the text will be like, you want it wrapped around the image, and the image to be nicely placed in the middle of that paragraph. And can you do this with a number of paragraphs inserted in a <div> tag for instance? I mean just one image for all those paragraphs, to be placed neatly in the middle? Thanks for anyone taking the time to help and give tips. Can someone help me with this please...I've been attepting to beat this for several days, without success (although I've learned alot). My goal is displaying images, while using the browser to automatically wrap the images, so the user doesn't have to pre-define rows/cols. Currently, I just use HTML and stick a bunch of IMG elements one after the other. I would like to start using CSS to create border(s) and [optionally] image info. The page is laid out such that I have a DIV element containing all the images. Inside that DIV, I want each row vertically aligned, and horizontally centered (in the DIV), again, with the browser auto-wrapping the "list" of images at the width of the containing DIV. Although I've tried dozens (or more) combinations, I have been consistently testing with an IMG, surrounded by a DIV to create one border, surrounded by another DIV to create another border. In between the DIVs, I may add text info about the image. I originally started with a single DIV, and defined the IMG with a class that added a border. I switched to the two DIVs, to make it easier to test combinations. If the DIV holding the IMG has it's "display" set to "inline", I think that it would be the same as having an IMG with a class, anyway. It seems that I can get close to the alignment (both vertical and horizontal) I'm looking for, if I make the DIVs "Display: Inline", and do not float them; and set the IMG to "Vertical Align: middle". This creates various problems in different browsers. So I doubt this is the right way. If I float the DIVs left, everything about each image looks correct, but I can't get the vertical alignment nor the horizontal centering. Another side-effect that I don't like is that if an IMG is moved to the next line, it may not get floated all the way to the left if a previous IMG on the same row was taller (ie. sticks down further in the row). I think this is because of the rule that says floats should go the top as much as possible, so rather than the wrapped IMG going down a few extra pixels and then going all the way to the left, it stops at the IMG from the prvious row that sticks down the most. I think I've stated clearly what I'm trying to do, I'll include some sample code to help clarify further. Any help or suggestions is very much appreciated. -Jeff Code:

I hate to make this a forum post, as I am sure this issue comes up all the time. I've found a few blogs on this matter, but their fixes are not working for me. I am building a template @ http://curt.homelinux.com/campaign I have one main wrapper div called 'frame' that is supposed to wrap around all of the divs inside of it. All the while I had it set to a fixed height and just now realized that I need to attack this issue. Since the content will be dynamic, the 'frame' should be able to shrink and grow with the child divs. If any of you know how I can accomplish this, your help is greatly appreciated. Hi folks, Heres a basic layout I created that includes a transparent PNG file with text wrapping around the image pretty well. http://agogo.dnsdojo.com/img/png_test/1.html I would like the layout to look more like this though: http://agogo.dnsdojo.com/img/png_test/indesign.png With the text wrapping around the circle. Considering the PNG file has transparency is there a way to do this with CSS. Thanks for taking the time to read my quesiton. I have an image, that if I use float: I can get the text to wrap around the image, but if I try to position the image and get the text to wrap, it doesn't. The text just shows up underneath the image. Instead of using float, I've tried display: block; but that didn't help. What do I need to change so that I can get the text to wrap around the image? Thanks, Brad Image is in textbox1 CSS: Code: .textbox1 {
height: 180px;
width: 280px;
font-size: 20px;
padding: 3px;
position: absolute;
top: 55px;
left: 15%;
border-style: solid;
border-color: red;
border-width: 2px;
/*display: block;
float: left;*/
}
Ok, I thought this would be simple, but I was wrong. I have a simple <textarea>. In this textarea, I do not want to have the text wrap at the edge of the text box. Seems simple. Well, here's where the monkey **** starts to fly. It turns out that the w3c has deprecated the "wrap" attribute in XHTML 1.0 (which is the standard I use). Ok, there should be a CSS property to take care of this then, right? Wrong, as far as I can find anyway. I have found the white-space property and this sort of works in IE (but no horizontal scroll bar) and not at all in Firefox. Is there anything that I have missed that actually works correctly in multiple browsers, besides the "wrap" attribute (which, incidentally, works perfectly in both browsers)? My advice to me is to start drinking heavily. cadrunk: Is there a way to have texts wrap an image? For example, I want to have a small image 120x146 jpeg image aling top left on the page. I then want the texts to start from the top next to the image on the right side of the image just like in MS Word. Is this possible? ljCharlie Hi everyone. I have a div with text and directly after that I have an image. Since a DIV is a block level element, it causes the image to wrap to the next line. Is there some way I can prevent it from doing so? Thanks for any help or suggestions. Hi all, Is it possible to wrap text in a Drop Down Box?? Regards, Stephen |
