CSS - Having Trouble Using Floats
I'm having a problem where my submit button isn't floating over to the right inside of the div. It's supposed to be inside of the "test" div, but it's just below it. I thought that if I floated an element it would expand the parent element when necessary. What am I missing? This is just a test snippet I was working with to get this functionality to work correctly. Is there a different way I should be trying to achieve this?
I've got a form that I'm floating the labels to the left so they lineup properly with their related input. I then want to float the submit button over to the right of the form, but that's when it jumps outside of the div just below it. Code: html <div id="mainT"> <div id="test"> <h4>Enter New Values and Submit</h4> <label>ID: </label>#URL.system# <input class="submitT" type="Submit" value="Submit"> </div> </div> Code: css
div#mainT{
border:1px solid #CCC;
margin-bottom:25px;
width:600px;
padding:10px;
font-size:10px;
color:#000;
background-color:#EEE;
}
div#mainT input.submitT{
/*margin:0 0 0 15px;*/
float:right;
}
div#mainT label{
width:120px;
float:left;
/*margin:0 0 0 15px;*/
}
div#test{
border:1px solid red;
}
Similar TutorialsHere is the page: http://www.sdtars.com/development/o...tion/atwork.php (Note: Some pages don't work due to development) I have a class named sized and within the class there is always a img a p tag. I am trying to get the img tag to float to the left, and then have the p tag follow that up to it's right (still left aligned), with a left-margin of 10px. Every time I attempt to do that, it just forces the p tag down to the next line. Any ideas how I can get them to be inline? So I have a body div which has a left and right div(columns). I need to add 2 more divs inside the left div. But, these 2 divs have to unordered lists in them. I know my CSS is pretty average if not worse. My layout looks fine except for when I add 2 divs.. I have the float:left with %50 widths.. Screen shot of how my layout looks. img209.imageshack.us/img209/2913/idear.gif I did not add any clear tags to my css.. which I think might be what's causing the issue. Side note: In IE compatibility view the top of the page has a gap and so does the right of the page.. the logo and footer are both 100% width and the top div has a -negative margin to close the gap, it looks fine without compatibility view, and fine in firefox, and chrome. XHTML passed validation and so did CSS. This is before even messing with the columns. I didn't do anything with the unordered lists. Maybe i should ask how to correctly make my layout first.. Because what I've been doing is just adding new divs where I see fit, and then going back to edit the CSS till it works. Thanks for helping me out! BTW: what book would you recommend me getting.. I understand basics of CSS and I think I'm good with XHTML, I just need to get a better definition of CSS than w3schools has to offer. Thanks again. I have floating items inside of floating items. The problem is I cannot clear my floating items in the middle column because that ruins the other columns. How can I clear floats in the middle column? Do you have any better ideas to make my layout work? I have attached in image of how the layout should work. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Can you guys tell me why code below does not show properly in firefox 2 when it shows up right in IE7? If I add clear:both to footer then it displays right, but should not it show it alongside the div #2 anyways? Code:

After fighting with JS to get scrolling content to work, I now have a problem with IE8/9, where a wide div bleeds outside of containing div. Works fine in FF and Chrome code and css are in http://rentz.phi.co.uk/testanimate.html Any ideas? Hello, I'm currently working on a website layout that uses CSS for everything. I have a header, and two columns below that. The header works perfectly. I used float:left on both of my two columns, and they both appear side-by-side as intended. However, I want the right column to fill up the entire right side of the screen. When I try to use CSS's width: 100%; the entire right column jumps down below the left column, which is not what I want. I made a little screenshot: http://img282.echo.cx/img282/6555/tms1od.png I believe it can be done, but I'm stumped. Help is appreciated Hello everyone, Newbie here Can anyone show me how to CSS objects or text inline horizontally in the banner/header such as at the top of this forum? My banner/header uses large text for a logo on the left, and I would like to put a search form or something on the right side of the header. Do I have to declare the width of each? See how much newbie I am? Thanks for any help. Ken Hey, yet again I am having issues with some floated elements in IE (6 + 7). Have a look here. The product details start under the bottom of the photo of the product, and I've tried a bunch of different things to get it lined up with no joy. Here's the CSS: Code:
#features {
position:relative;
float:right;
margin:0 20px 20px 20px;
width:350px;
border:1px solid #E1DCC6;
border-top:0;
}
* html #features {
margin:0 10px 0 10px;
}
#features p, #features p strong {
font-size:10px;
margin:4px;
padding:2px;
}
#picbox {
width:350px;
height:350px;
margin:0 20px 0 20px;
float:right;
border:1px solid #E1DCC6;
border-bottom:1px dashed #E1DCC6;
}
* html #picbox {
margin:0 10px 0 10px;
}
#detail-list {
margin:10px 60px;
}
#detail-list li {
list-style:square inside;
margin:2px;
}
#buynow {
margin:5px 10px 5px 30px;
}
#priceTable {

}
#priceTable td.priceLeft {
text-align:right;

.liner {

}
Any insight, as per usual, is greatly appreciated. This may be a stupid question, but I recently noticed something with floats and side by side elements that confuses me. I thought you always had to specify a width when it came to floating elements along side each other, as block level elements inherit 100% width usually. But on the last 2 sites I coded, I was able to float divs without specifying a fixed width. The div boxes only took up the width of there content. Worked in FF, Chrome, Safari, IE7/8. This is great, as it saves time, but makes no sense. Am I confused? Hi All, I am almost tearing he little hair I have left out! I can't get the div in the middle to clear the floats. Works just lovely in FF, but that IE thing won't work!!! Grrree http://www.tuxdiscs.com/sscp7b/ Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks Hey, k, as per usual, all's well in FF with this site. The list to the right is forcing the paragraphs below in IE tho...I've tried a bunch of different 'clears' and what not, but can't seem to figure it out. Here's the html; Code:

i'm also having similar issues with simple image floats, as seen here. It forces the paragraph underneath in IE...boourns. Anyways, any guidance'd be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Hi, I have started developing a new website. I am using all the knowledge I gained from this forum, however I want to improve on my previous design. Basically I have the following Html with CSS.

Now as you can see I have the logo div and links div inside the top div. The logo div is set to float left, while the links div is set to float right. I have also given the top div a border of 1px red. Now in IE7 this is displayed correctly while in FireFox and Opera it is not. I once came with this issue here, and Kravvitz suggested me to use the following hack from this website: http://www.csscreator.com/attributes/containedfloat.php. My question is; Is there another way how to do this without having to introduce that hack? Also I have another question. In reality I am not going to have a border and background in the top section. I have set the width of the logo div to 150px and the width of the links div to 500px. 150px + 400px make up 550px which is the total width of the top div. This means that the content div is placed under the top div and not onto it. I have seen it work on both IE7 and FireFox, but do not know about IE6.0 and Opera!! However is this considered as correct? My third (and final) problem is that I want my list to be aligned right! However it keeps coming to the left! How should I accomplish this with the current CSS I have? Any comments are more then welcome. Thanks and Regards Sim085 Okay so i have this: http://www.prxa.info/area51/ A left and right float, is there a way to push them together? I can't seem to figure out the reason that they are so far apart? Hi, My current code is designed to have a flexible number of columns depending on the width of the screen. It is just divs with a left and right margin: HTML 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"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css.css" /> </head> <body> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> <div><img src="1.jpg" alt="Angry face" title="Angry face" /></div> </body> </html> CSS: Code: div{

margin-bottom:13px;

The trouble is, the right column isnt spaced correctly to the right side of the browser. Ive included an image to show more accuratly what im hoping to achieve. Can anyone help me with this? http://62.190.48.108/intertest/news.php Basically, I want to sort out the header on the box just below the filter button. I want to get the date to stop where it is now, move where it says test to the center of the bar, and the print floated item to the far right. I am floating three elements id's .news_date, .news_headline and .news_print, but .news_print squashes .news_headline down, and I cant seem to change the width (The element needs to only be as big as the workd PRINT). Any ideas Thanks in advance. Joel I thought I'd got this CSS stuff figured out but now I'm stuck again. I want the last div on this page to be alongside the one above it, but can I get the b****** thing to go there? No! Link I just want them side-by-side with a nice centered gap between them. Can you help? Thanks, John. I'm using float:left for my left nav bar, and then clear:both for my footer. Trouble is, I need to use some content boxes that will be using floats and then clears, however, when I use clear:both in my content box, it clears EVERYTHING (meaning it pushes below my navbar, because the navbar is quite long). Is there a workaround or am I using floats/clear wrong? TIA Javashackgirl I'm trying to construct a simple navigation bar that looks like the attached image. It's a simple bar with rounded corners on the ends. If I where going to use tables, I would make one row with three cells. But I hear that these days, tables for positioning are out... I'm thinking two sets of DIVs where one contained the left end, and one the right. What's confusing me is how to get the images to line up right rather than looking "stacked". I imagine it has to do with the "float" attribute, but I can't seem to find the combination that does what I need. Code:
<div>
<div>
Nav | Bar | Content
</div>
</div>
As well, how to make the full height of the end images show? My experiments seem to truncate the image height at the height of the text. Pointers? Thanks... |
