CSS - Problem Clearing Floated Div
I have some tabular data that I would like displayed in two columns within a div. The div has some basic styling on it to create a block around the tables. The tables should appear side by side at the top of the div, so I floated the tables. I then found that the width of the div was always 100% unless I floated the div as well. This made the div wrap around the tables nicely, but caused the next element to appear to the right of the div, not on the next line as it normally would.
Here is the basic code I have so far: Code: <html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div.box1 {
border: 1px solid red;
background: #afafaf;
padding: 2px;
float: left;
}
div.box1 table {
float: left;
border: 1px solid blue;
margin-right: 15px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Div</h1>
<div class="box1">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Field1:</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Field1:</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Field1:</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Field1:</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Field2:</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Field2:</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Field2:</td>
<td>Value</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
<h1>Next Text</h1>
</body>
</html>
I would like for the "Next Text" to appear on a new line after the div. After reading this page, I added the following to my css: Code: div.box1:after {
content: 'clear me';
clear: both;
display: block;
height: 0px;
visibility: hidden;
}
However, this had no effect on the results in Firefox or Safari. The only way I have found to clear the div is to add style="clear: both" to the h1 tag following the div. I would prefer to not do this because it will be problematic for our graphics guys down the road. Any advice on how to clear the div and keep it wrapping around the tables? Similar TutorialsHello, I have a page where a left-floated <div> is nested within the main <div>. Content then is placed in a <div> next to the left-floated one. My problem is that the main <div> does not stretch to the height of the left-floated <div>, rather just to the height of the content. I placed: Code: <br style="clear: both;"> after the content <div> which usually does the trick but it's not working for some reason... And even more confusing is the fact that if I change the <br> to something else like say <span>, the main <div> does stretch to the proper height BUT the content within the <h1> tag and the content <div> are not displayed until you do something like minimize the window then restore it or bring another window in front of it then bring it back to focus. This happens in IE only. Any ideas? Page html/css: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

hi, i have some divs within my container div. I cant get the container to wrap around the content in #contentMain (which is inside of #content. in IE, the container wraps after the #leftNav (inside the #conent) but FF wraps after the #nav div does anyone know how I cant sort it? thanks html PHP Code: <div id="container"> <div id="header"></div> <div id="nav"> //topNav </div> <div id="content"> <div id="leftNav"> //leftNav </div> <div id="contentMain"> //content, links, images and stuff </div> </div> </div> css PHP Code: #container { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; /*border: 1px solid #666;*/ background: url(../images/bodyImg.gif) no-repeat top left; } #header { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; height: 100px; background: url(../images/header.gif) no-repeat top left; } #nav { width:760px; height: 25px; padding: 0; margin:0; background-color: #eee; } #content { margin:0px auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; } #contentMain { padding: 0; margin: 0; float: right; width: 630px; } #leftNav { color: #000; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 128px; } .imgMap1 { width: 220px; position: relative; top: 200px; left: 30px; } Hey all, Here is my page: tri-m.com/ENGINEERINGSITE/test.html The page looks what I want it to look like in IE... but if you open it up in FF you will see what I mean. If I add my clear float <div class="clear"></div> after .Iimage and .Ifeatures, a large space is placed between .imageFeatures and .IfeatureTEXT. If I do not add the clear (as in my example... than the floats are not cleared in FF obviously). I'm not quite sure what to do with this case. I'm not really able to find a similar problem. If someone could help me out that would be AMAZING! Thanks everyone. - Jacenta I know this is probably something very simple I'm overlooking, but I can't seem to get this page to display corrrectly in IE. The portion I'm talking about is the footer div: although the CSS clears both, in Firefox I see the footer correctly but in IE there is some encroachment of the footer background color on the right side of the screen. URL is: http://www.readaloudproject.org/about/ Please disregard all of the other aspects of the page... this is very much still under construction and a lot more styling needs to be done. But this footer is driving me crazy because I copied working code from other sites that is now no longer working. Help! Thanks! hello, this is my first post so apologies if i give too much information, but rather than miss something crucial, i thought it best to cover all my bases. i am new to CSS and have been trying to reproduce a design that i created as an image, in CSS for a website layout. i have managed the 'bones' of the website but am having difficulty when i get to the actual content. not being the most technical when it comes to CSS terminology, i have uploaded an image which shows what i want it to look like here a cut down version of the page, including just the area in question is available here XHTML css i validated my xhtml, but the css came up with warnings but didn't say it was invalid. i hope this is OK? in firefox it looks fine, but in IE 6, you can see that the photo of the product is not flush to the left of the bordered div. i'm not sure if i have gone about it the wrong way or if it is IE. a friend suggested that rather than have the 2 divs overlapping, i should just use a background image to create the effect, but being stubborn, i would like to try to fix this way, just for experience. would anyone mind having a look? hopefully i have provided enough info, but apologies if not. just ask and i will do my best to explain. thank you for your time J I really hope somebody can help me out with this one. It might require some yucky hack, but I hope there's a good way to achieve it with regular css. I got a header (140px height), main container and a footer. The main container consists of three areas (from left to right): - a fixed sized column with some illustration (48px) - main contents column, (all available space) - a fixed sized column with newsfacts and such (301px) I've got an absolutely positioned div-element with an unordered list inside. The list-items got no bullets and are float: right, so the end result is a horizontal box. Each item is a link. I want this div-element to be positioned at the top of the middle contents column with the unordered list bar right-aligned. For this I tried using a right-margin: 302px. Also, each list-item is divided by a slim stripe/bar by giving the each li-element a left border. AND... the whole div-element got a bottom border which stretches as wide as the contents column is. Here's a screenshot fragment in Firefox, the only browser in which I got it to work: http://www.stack.nl/~rem/linksbox.jpg I've got the following code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Important note... since I was on the verge of screaming, I replaced the Unordered list temporarily with a div tag of class=links, to simplify things in a feeble attempt to isolate the problem. It shows correctly in Mozilla Firefox 0.9.3 (0.1R1) by the way, but my boss wants it to be good in Firefox and Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0. Especially IE. I want it good in Firefox but darn... Firefox is the only one I get okay :P The problem is.... with IE it puts the links to the right side of the screen. I've tried lots of things to get it 302 pixels from the right side of the screen, but everything gave problems. I really hope somebody can give me an idea how I can fix it. It feels like it's just a small thing. Hello, I have this arrow icon at the end of each <li> that is floated right. When the user clicks on it, he gets a dropdown list with options. I'm just having some trouble positioning it. here is the screenshot of before and after the user clicks the arrow icon: Here is the HTML that I am using to place it: Code: <ol>
<li><a class="control" href="javascript:toggleLayer('controlgroup01');"> </a><a href="">System Executive Summary</a></li>
<div class="controlgroup" id="controlgroup01">
<a href="#">1</a><br />
<a href="#">2</a><br />
<a href="#">3</a><br />
<a href="#">4</a><br />
</div>
</ol>
I also tried encapsulating the <div> whithin the <li> in hopes that it would only affect that item like this: Code: <ol>
<li><a class="control" href="javascript:toggleLayer('controlgroup01');"> </a><a href="">System Executive Summary</a>
<div class="controlgroup" id="controlgroup01">
<a href="#">1</a><br />
<a href="#">2</a><br />
<a href="#">3</a><br />
<a href="#">4</a><br />
</div>
</li>
</ol>
Here is the CSS I am using to position the above <div> (which is invisible at first): Code: .control
{
float: right;
border: 0px solid #000000;
border-left: 1px dotted #cccccc;
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 8px;
margin: 0px;
margin-left: 8px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 100% 50%;
text-decoration: none;
}
.controlgroup
{
display: none;
/* position: relative; */
/* left: 70em; */
border: 1px solid #fddc9a;
background-color: #fff3ce;
float: right;
}
.controlgroup a
{
padding: 4px 4px 4px 24px;
background-image: url(bulletarrow.bmp); /* Photoshop this into transparent GIF */
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 4px 50%;
}
I can't really use position: absolute; because depending on how the user resizes the browser, the box will be in a different place as it is supposed to be right justified, not left. It can't be positioned the way it is b/c the items below it bump into it and get schootched over to the side. I wish there was some waay to do this. Does anybody know? Thanks So... I've got a page I'm working on where I can't seem to get to floats to clear without compromising the layout of the divs that are floating. http://www1.romenews-tribune.com/multimedia2/ http://www1.romenews-tribune.com/multimedia2/style.css If I try the clear:after class fix, it doesn't work. If I try the overflow: hidden fix, it looks fine until the page is resized - and the overflowing content is hidden. What I want is for the right and left div is to stretch to the bottom of the page regardless of the page height, and clear to the div they are floating in. Any suggestions? Let me know if I need to provide better examples or more info, as I'm stumped on this one and feel like I've been doing this for far too long. hi my page involves having a form element inside of a div. the div is floated left. relevant (seemingly) css from my stylesheet & html code (all simplified for readability) form { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .mydiv { float: left; } html looks vaguely like: <div class="mydiv"><form name="blah" action="blahblah"> .... all form controls </form></div> PROBLEM!!!! in mozilla, none of the form elements display. in ie, everything displays as expected. PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO INSANE AND START KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE. thanks in advance. d Hello all. I've got a layout with three columns. The first column contains the navigation and the second two are variable content. All the columns can be any length, and consist of any number of divs; each div is a bordered block of variable-sized content. The problem is if I want to float an image around some text in the second or third column. Since the image is floating, its container doesn't extend fully, and the image overlaps the border and the block below it. However, if I put a "clear: both" spacer within the block, then the container clears elements in the left or right columns, and extends way too far down! What I really need is a way to just clear a single level of nesting, but "clear" seems to be pretty much all or nothing. I've also tried the pseudoclass :after trick to extend the box, but that didn't appear to do any good. It just added the content inside the border of each block, but doesn't enclose the image at all. I hope somebody has suggestions - I actually haven't found anything about this problem, but perhaps I'm just looking for the wrong terms. It seems like a fairly fundamental thing to do... Thanks! In Firefox, I've got a right div that is not repsonding to an auto width in FF. I am not a pro a CSS (yet ) and I hope that someone can give me the one line solution that I am missing. I've included a screen shot of the problem, any help is greatly appreciated. - K CSS Code Code:
#MainContainer
{
float: left;
width: auto;

Hi all, I have a problem with clearing my CSS in IE and opera. My website is b-artdesign. I know no links are allowed but couldnt explain it different. its a com Seems to work fine in firefox... worked just perfect in IE.. but when adding some CSS code it all went wrong.. dono what happened... cant figure it out. thanks in advance.. Bart Aaaah! another problem... now i have 2 divs, left one floated, and right one set that it's left margine distances him from left div. when i print that page from FF it's ok, but when i try to print it from IE it looks like left one isn't floating - divs are one beneath other (right one shifted to right for that margin value). what now? thanks As always IE woes... Anyway I have a design that I'm currently reworking into a css/div positioned site. I'm almost done with it, but the problem I'm having is that I have 2 floated divs below a horizontal navigation bar. In IE these two floated divs are not positioning themselves directly beneath the nav bar like they do in FF. There looks to be a 3px or so gap between them. I will post screenshots for a better idea of what I'm talking about. The HTML is: Code:
<div id="container">
<div id="top"></div>
<div id="brands">
....stuff here....
</div>
<div id="slides"></div> <!-- Slides and Vert_nav are not appearing directly below brands in IE-->
<div id="vert_nav">
....stuff here....
</div>
</div>
CSS Code:
/* CSS Document */
html, body {
background: #000000;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
#container {
width: 760px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#top {
width: 760px;
height: 239px;
background: url(../images/top.jpg) top left no-repeat;
}
#brands {
width: 760px;
height: 31px;
}
#slides {
width: 667px;
height: 350px;
float: left;
background: url(../images/slides.jpg) top left no-repeat;
T}
#vert_nav {
width: 93px;
height: 350px;
float: right;
}
should.jpg is how the page is supposed to look. shouldnt.jpg is how it is appearing in IE. Hi, I'm having a familiar problem: with this page The the content on a contained and floated div is over running it's containing div. I have had this problem before and using something like: Code:
#innerwrap:after {
content:".";
display:block;
clear:both;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
Has worked before, but this time it's not. I'm having to specify a unique class and heitht for the #main box or use <br/>. It would be nice not to have to do this. Can anybody advise me what to look into please. Thanks James I have been working on a website design for some days now. I thought I had it pretty much done until I checked some of my longer pages out in IE9 and the clear:both is not working in one position causing the footer to sit over some of the content. It is fine in FF. I have spent hours going over the code and I just cannot understand why. Can anyone give me any pointers? http://nationwideinnovations.co.uk/garage-doors.html Thanks in advance I have a list item like this: <li><img src="" /><a href="#">NAME</a><br class="clearleft" /></li> quick css: li { border-top: 1px solid #ccc; } li img { float: left; } .clearleft { clear: left; } the problem: The image that is floating is of taller than the text next to it. On FF and Safari, the border lines up below the image, on IE, the border is under the single line text. I need some help with aligning a top of a div with another div. My web site is just a screw around hobby thing but here is the web address for it www.penguin.lhup.edu/~ewhite2 the two divs that I am focusing on are .link and #content here is the css code for them css Code: Original - css Code .link{ float: left; width: 115px; background-color: #000000; text-align: center; margin: 10px 0 0px 13px; clear: both; } #content{ margin: 10px 17px 4px 0; width: 625px; float: right; }
any help would be awesome and a head of time thank for all who take the time to read this post and for responding to it if you do. http://abodycars.homelinux.net/forums/login.php - HTML http://abodycars.homelinux.net/themes/default.css.php - CSS It's a site I'm starting to build. For whatever reason, in firefox, the navigation menu is on the left side of the screen and the form is on the right side. In IE, the desired behavior I want (nav bar on top, form underneath) is there. Although I know how IE is and there might be something wrong with my code. Everything validates... The navigation menu is wrapped in a div, so I would expect the div to auto-clear since it should be expanding to 100% width. But that doesn't seem to be happening for some reason...can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks. |
