CSS - Div Layout - No Float
Hi,
Is it possible to make the following "LEFT MENU" sits on left side and "RIGHT MENU" on right side without using "float" ? <div id="menu"> <div>LEFT MENU</div>'; <div>RIGHT MENU</div> </div> Thank you. Similar TutorialsI am having some trouble using float to align containers on my page. Here is what it looks like. http://filebox.vt.edu/users/kfalcon...less_broken.JPG In this image the blue area is the "content" id, the red area is the "rostercontainer" and the cream color is the "profilecontainer". I would like the profilecontainers to appear in two columns instead of one as in this image. The problem is when i add 'float : left' to the profilecontainer or rostercontainer I get the following: http://filebox.vt.edu/users/kfalcon...scrn_broken.JPG The two profile containers are now next to each other, but the rostercontainer seems to be missing, and the profilecontainers are not being loaded into the content area. From the index.php page i am using javascript to load the roster.php page into the content area. Code: <div id="main-nav"> <dl> <dt id="roster"><a class="loadinto-content" href="roster.php">Roster</a></dt> </dl> </div> <div id="content"> <h2>Main Page</h2> </div> The roster.php page looks like this: PHP Code: <div class="rostercontainer"> <?php // Go through all profiles while($profile = mysql_fetch_assoc($profiles)) { ?> <div class="profilecontainer"> <img src="image3.gif" class="floatLeft" width="150" height="115" alt="image 3" /> <strong><h3 class="profile"><?php echo $profile['name']; ?></h3></strong><br/> <?php echo $profile['active']; ?><br/> <?php echo $profile['status']; ?><br/> <?php echo $profile['ride']; ?><br/> <?php echo $profile['major']; ?><br/> <?php echo $profile['hometown']; ?><br/> <?php echo $profile['info']; ?><br/> <div class="editlink"> <a href="roster_admin.php?idx=<?php echo $profile['id']; ?>">edit</a> </div> </div> <?php } ?> </div> And here is my css file, ive only included the important parts. Code: #page-container { width: 760px; margin: auto; } #content { font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif; background: blue; border-top: 1px solid #efefef; padding: 25px; } div.profilecontainer { position: relative; width: 325px; height:200px; margin: 10px; padding: 5px; background-color: #ffe; border: 1px dashed black; } div#content div.rostercontainer { background-color:red; float : left; } I am not sure if this is a CSS issue or some problem with the javascript library(HTMLHttpRequest) i am using to load pages into my content area. It is really odd the adding the float to the roster/profile container would cause such a behavior. Any ideas on how i can fix this? Thanks for any help, Karl I'm having trouble with a table layout I'm trying to convert to a float layout my attempt so far is as follows Code: --loop-- lfloat{ float:left } boatLeft{ width:100px; } #cls# gets replaced with a class that only sets the background for odd and even rows. <div class="lfloat boatLeft #cls#" style="border-right:1px solid black;height:150px;"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="displayVessel(#rssearch.YSNNUM#);">View Details*<br /> <img id="thumb#currentrow#" style="border-color:white;width:100px;" src="#getpic.thumbpicname#" alt="#boatname#" /> </a> </div> <div class="#cls#"> <div class="boatLeft lfloat"> <strong>Boatname</strong> </div> <div> <strong>#BOATNAME#</strong> </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="boatLeft lfloat"> LOA </div> <div> #loam#m / #loaft#' #val(loain)#" </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="boatLeft lfloat"> Builder </div> <div> #MFGNAME# </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="boatLeft lfloat"> Naval Architect </div> <div> #hulldsnr# </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="boatLeft lfloat"> Designer </div> <div> #designer# </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="boatLeft lfloat"> Decorator </div> <div> #decorator# </div> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="boatLeft lfloat"> Stylist </div> <div> #stylist# </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div> <div class="clear"></div><!--- clear the float for the outer div ---> -end loop-- in both ie and FF this looks terrible. I'm not sure If I should just be using a table here or if I should be using floats. Gary you should probably have somehting to say about that... the attachment show's how its supposed to look. The black boxes represent block level elements, not borders. Dave I'm doing a 2 column layout via css (my first attempt at doing full css layout) and I'm having some problems in firefox getting it to work right. Code: #navBar{ float: left; width: 20%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: #eeeeee; border-right: 1px solid #0163CB; } #content{ width: 80%; float:left; } then my divs are as follows: <div id=navBar> stuff </div> <div id=content> more stuff </div> The problem is that in firefox the top of content sits directly to the bottom and left of the end of navBar . If I set conent width to 78% it seems to be fine but it there are borders inside content that i want to take up 100% of the remaining page. Thanks Dave Hi all, This is my first post here so go easy on me. Firstly, please look at this: h ttp://digitalformula.net/temp/layout.jpg - I can't post a proper URL since I'm a new user ... sorry for the space at the start of the address. Anyway, the top part is what I have now and the bottom part is what I'm trying to get to. Can someone please assist with the CSS for this? I know just enough CSS to be dangerous but I can't seem to find the right way to put the captions under the images without the image on the right dropping below the image and caption on the left. I've tried all different types of float etc but nothing seems to work - I know it's something I'm doing wrong as this is probably one of the more basic questions posted here. ANY help would be much appreciated! Thanks, digitalformula Hello all, first time poster here... I was working on a new site for an RP environment I gm using a table based layout. I ran into some problems and got fed up with it, So now for all the great reasons out there I decided to better learn CSS overnight and make the layout based on div tags and all that good stuff instead. After piling all my information into the page I've been having some funky stuff happen to the layout; the right most column moves down below the other two if the window takes up less than the 1000px width I've allotted. Does anyone know why and a way to fix this? Please feel free to rip on my usage of png-s or anything else you'd like to also Here's a temp link to the page on my site: louisjustmanDOTcom/prinz/newMOTD.html ...and a direct to my css file too: louisjustmanDOTcom/prinz/css/master.css Thanks a lot in advance! EDIT: Wow; all that time and it was a stupid mistake... extra closing div tag where i didn't need one. I have been trying to figure out how to achieve this layout with css for about an hour. I'm sure it is something very simple that I am missing. Can anyone help? It looks like the image at the address below. tophermorrison.com/css_layout.jpg I have 3 divs 1.banner (100px tall 100% wide) 2.content (100% tall 650px wide) 3.image (100px x100px) I want the image to stay relative with the content and the content to be centered. The image should be 0 from the top and centered over the right edge of the content. Is this possible? Hello, I'm new to css layouts. I had to float:left every element so the heights stretch problem is if the image in "page_c_left" is wider than 45% then "page_c_right" will automatically go on the next line. (in Firefox, IE seems to wrap the text without moving the element). also, i wanted to have the content displayed first for non-css browsers, but the examples used position:absolute. when the impression i got was that float is preferable to position. i'm very confused on which method to use for layouts. what method would you use for complex css layouts? float, position or other? this is code with the text wrap problem Code: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>test</title> <style type="text/css"> #main_c { float:left; width:770px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid black } #header_c { float:left; border:1px solid brown } #page_c { float:left; width:100%; border:1px solid red } #page_c_left { float:left; padding:10px; border:1px solid blue } #page_c_right { float:left; width:55%; padding:10px; border:1px solid green } #footer_c { float:left; border:1px solid yellow } </style> </head> <body> <div id="main_c"> <div id="header_c"> THIS IS THE HEADER </div> <div id="page_c"> <div id="page_c_left"><img src="../../photos/image.jpg" alt="image" /></div> <div id="page_c_right">RIGHT SIDE paragraph RIGHT SIDE paragraph as ohajst aisdncn uajajs ajshd hfhgg<br />lakshh toyt a bTr asnf f Uahdlalsl jahjsu aujsjdhduwhtn ausud aushd aiua akshdusjj<br /> ka u annf au ffsdjkfjs didjs dd sjskjdk<br /> SIDE paragraph RIGHT SIDE paragraph as ohajst aisdncn uajajs ajshd hfhgg<br />lakshh toyt a bTr asnf f Uahdlalsl jahjsu aujsjdhduwhtn ausud aushd aiua akshdusjj<br /> ka u annf au ffsdjkfjs didjs dd sjskjdk<br />RIGHT SIDE paragraph RIGHT SIDE paragraph as ohajst aisdncn uajajs ajshd hfhgg<br />lakshh toyt a bTr asnf f Uahdlalsl jahjsu aujsjdhduwhtn ausud aushd aiua akshdusjj<br /> ka u annf au ffsdjkfjs didjs dd sjskjdk<br /> SIDE paragraph RIGHT SIDE paragraph as ohajst aisdncn uajajs ajshd hfhgg<br />lakshh toyt a bTr asnf f Uahdlalsl jahjsu aujsjdhduwhtn ausud aushd aiua akshdusjj<br /> ka u annf au ffsdjkfjs didjs dd sjskjdk<br /></div> </div> <div id="footer_c"> THIS IS THE FOOTER </div> </div> </body> </html> if you could help, thank you 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. At the moment I have a css layout nearly done. It works fine in IE and Firefox except for that the left navbar does not push the footer down. Instead it jumps out the parent div. The 2nd (maincontent) and 3rd (right column) do push the footer down. This wouldn't be such a problem if the navbar would contain static content, but it is dynamic and database driven. A simple solution would be to move the navigate thing to the right bar, but sadly I'm not allowed to do that.

I just can't get it to work without messing up the 3rd column. 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: div#navigation { background: #fff url(../images/blue/menu-bg.png) 100% 100% repeat-x; } #primary { line-height: 30px; } #primary ul { padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none; } #primary li { display:inline; } #primary a { font-weight:bold; display:block; float:left; padding:0px 14px 0px 14px; margin: 0px 1px 0px 0px; font-size: 95%; } #primary a { background-position:0% 0px; } #primary a:hover { text-decoration: none; background-position:0% -42px; } #primary a.active { background-position: 0% -84px; } #primary a { background: url(../images/blue/menu-div.png) 100% 0 repeat-y; color:#666666; font-size: 120%; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; } #primary a:hover { color: 666666; background: #B8B8B8; } #primary a.active { color: 666666; background: #B8B8B8; } 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.

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. Hello, I am using an OS Commerce layout for a client's website. On this page - www.mts-diesel.com you will see how I have the homepage laid out in anticipation of design, with 3 divs of varying colors. One div with an id of #hp_left is where I want to put a nice jquery code. But when I insert that into #hp_left it breaks the whole layout, was seen here www.mts-diesel.com/index2.php I'm not sure what in the css in the code for this script is breaking my layout but Ithought someone here might be willing to shed some light. A big thank you. Tom I am working on the new home page which is based on a template. The left sideColumn is working fine, however I am having a few problems with the mainColumn layout. Here is a static image to show what I want it to look like Here are the problems I am having: 1) The #scroll box is place where I want it in IE but in foxfire it is right up against the left side of the #sideColumn partially hidden. There will be text that scrolls into this box and stops. I haven't started on the part yet - in case that makes a difference. Not my choice, but that is what the bosses want. 2) I want the image centered horizontal within the #mainColumn. Here is what I have for the css: #home img { margin: 5px auto 5px auto; } which I thought would do the trick, but it's not. 3) I want the p text to have a 40px margin on the right and left side like the .large does. Here is what I have for the css: #home p, .large { margin: auto 40px auto 40px; } It works for the .large (Welcome to Vitalograph), but not for the text below it. At one point I had it working, but after addtional changes fixing other problems, now it doesn't and I can't figure out why.

Hi there and thanks for reading & helping! I am new to this site, but here is my question: I need to build about a 20 page website. I have been told I should do the "layout" for each page using CSS. Is it possible for each page to "link" to one CSS file for layout instructions? I have found suitable CSS layout templates but am unsure how to link each page to the external CSS file for a basic "header, 2 column, footer" layout, or if it is even possible? My home page at mypricesavings.com I would like to have the twitter banner under the headline to be in its own div. if you look at my style.css I have this code Code: #twitter { width:590px; float:left; background:#fff; padding:10px; font-size:1.05em; line-height:1.5em; margin: 10px 0; } Which in fact does what I need it to do when I then add the div to the index.php however, the store deals and matchups which is the featured div no longer floats to the right of the headline, it will drop all the way down and float next to the twitter. I do not understand how CSS exactly works and would like to know how to make the twitter be the way I would like it and have the featured work corectly too. thank you in advance for helping Derrick I am trying to put a float to the right side of a layer and then have it go over the right side of the layer. But when I do this the part that is moved over is not visible in IE. I have included an example to make it easier to explain. The green layer should be partially outside the blue layer by 100px. I would appreciate any help getting this done. Thanks Code: <style type="text/css"> .main { position: relative; top: 100px; width: 700px; background-color: #5577cc; height: 500px; } .floatright{ margin-right: -100px; float: right; width: 300px; height: 300px; background-color:#339900; } </style> </head> <body> <div class = "main"> Main <div class = "floatright"> Float </div> </div> </body> Hey all, I'm wanting to create something like this: HEADER TITLE ___________________ TEXT HERE + - _______________________________ TEX HERE + - _______________________________ TEX HERE + - Ignore the underscores. Now I'm trying this code: Code: <div> <h2 style="display:inline;">HEADER TITLE</h2> <div style="float:right; padding:0; margin:0;"> TEXT HERE + - <br /> etc.. </div> </div> But no matter what I try the 'TEXT HERE' does not appear on the same inline and the floated div appears one line down like so: HEADER TITLE _______________________________ TEXT HERE + - _______________________________ TEXT HERE + - _______________________________ TEXT HERE + - Any suggestions on how to correct this? Thanks Basically, following link: www.projectfinalfantasy.com Works fine in FF but IE, it piles the divs under eachother, whether the float tag is applied or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joe. |
