CSS - Help With Css Wrap.

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....

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.

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?

Hi all,

How do you wrap text in a div from the x-coordinate but the y-coordinate must have a scroll bar.


CSS Code:
Original - CSS Code .leftHand { height:300px; overflow-y:scroll; position:relative; width:550px; background-color:#F7FAFC; word-wrap:break-word; display: block; }

  

  


 .leftHand


     {


         height:300px;


         overflow-y:scroll;


         position:relative;


         width:550px;


         background-color:#F7FAFC;


         word-wrap:break-word;


         display: block;


  


     } 

HTML Code:
Original - HTML Code <div class="leftHand" id="leftHand"> </div>

  

<div class="leftHand" id="leftHand">
</div>

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:

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.

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.

I am working on this site design for a client:

http://universalcorner.com/testsite/

In the center of the site, there is a text box with a dark blue square-shaped div inside of in it, positioned in the bottom right corner.

CSS:
Code:

#textbox {
	width: 636px;
	height: 292px;
	float: left;
	display: block;
	border: solid #000027;
	border-width: 0 12px 12px 0;
	background: #C1BDFF;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

#textbox p {
	margin: 10px;
}

div.cube {
	width: 150px;
	height: 140px;
	border: solid #000027;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

HTML:
Code:

<div id="textbox">
		
		<div style="background: #002455; float:right; border-width: 12px 0 0 12px; margin-top: 140px; margin-left: 10px" class="cube"></div>
		
		<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi sapien urna, scelerisque nec, imperdiet vitae, luctus non, nisi. Duis et magna et tellus imperdiet tempor. Sed ipsum.</p>
		<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi sapien urna, scelerisque nec, imperdiet vitae, luctus non, nisi. Duis et magna et tellus imperdiet tempor. Sed ipsum.</p>
		<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi sapien urna, scelerisque nec, imperdiet vitae, luctus non, nisi. Duis et magna et tellus imperdiet tempor. Sed ipsum.</p>
	
</div>

The client would like the text in this box to wrap around the top of the dark blue square-shaped div, filling in the empty space above it. My current code has the square div positioned correctly, but because of the margin-top, it only wraps around the left side of the div, leaving the space above it blank.

I also tried setting the square div's position to relative and top: 140px. This positioned the div correctly, but it overlapped the text rather than letting it wrap. Still had the blank space above it, too.

Is there a way to achieve what the client wants?

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.

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;*/
}

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?

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?

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.

i am making this page...

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...
