CSS - Multiple Floats
Similar TutorialsI'm working on a site that has a lot of floated elements, and I'm running into a situation I've run into before with Firefox, where Firefox insists on clearing the floated elements. I figure it's about time to learn the fix, if there is an easy one. Here's a very simple test case: 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=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
.sidebar {float: right; width: 100px; height: 500px; background: green}
.box {background: orange; float: left}
.box_right {float: right; background: blue}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="sidebar"></div>
<div class="box">
<div class="box_right">test</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So you've got a tall right side floated element. Then in the content area you've got a float: left that contains a float: right. I could fix it by removing the float: left, but then the box won't expand with it's floats. I could fix it by removing float: left and switching to overflow: auto. That would make it expand with it's floats, but I have some absolute positioned layer popups within that box that get cut off if I use overflow: auto. So that's a no go. I could fix it by setting a width on the float: left, but this is a liquid width site and I want the float: left box to expand the full width (but not touch the sidebar). Is there a fix for Firefox that would work with the above requirements? 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"

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 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 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 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, 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 {
margin:10px 40px;
border:1px solid #E1DCC6;
}
#priceTable td {
padding:4px;
}
#priceTable td.priceRight {
background-color:#E1DCC6;
font-size:14px;
font-weight:bold;
color:red;
}
#priceTable td.priceLeft {
text-align:right;
color:white;
font-weight:bold;
background-color:#B8A488;
}
.liner {
text-decoration:line-through;
}
Any insight, as per usual, is greatly appreciated. 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:

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? 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? Hi Guys, I am having a problem with floats. Here is the code I am using: Code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> </head> <body> <div style="width:900px; border: 1px black solid; float:left;"> <div style="width:400px; height:100px; border: 1px black solid; float:left; display:inline; background-color:blue;"></div> <div style="width:400px; height:300px; border: 1px black solid; float:left; display:block; background-color:green;"></div> <div style="width:400px; height:100px; border: 1px black solid; float:left;display:inline; background-color:red;"></div> </div> </body> </html> I am trying to get the red box to appear right under the blue box. I don't want to use a 2 column layout. Is this possible? Thanks! Elad I have the code below that basically builds a css based horizontal menu; menu items are floated into the menu bar, then in the same menuvbar, a small search box follows (floated). At this point I'd like to stop elements being floated, but IE7 has some troubles because it keeps floating the next element, regardless the clear:both or float:none issued. No problem in FF 3.5 and Opera 9.64 Can someone help? Just cut the following code and save in a document.htm and test with your favorit browser and IE7. Code:

I'm having some issues with my images showing up properly in IE6. They look fine in Safari & Firefox. Basically there is a container div and then individual divs that display an album cover along with a description. In IE6, the images aren't in the divs, but are at the top. Anyone know what the fix is? #container { padding: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; background: #333; border: 0px; text-align:center; width: 635px; } #center { padding: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; background: #666; border: 2px solid #000000; text-align:left; width: 610px; } #container p.album-cover { float:left; padding:0; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 0px; } #container .album-info { ... just font properties; } Code:
<?php loop through albums to display each one; ?>
<div id="center">
<p class="album-cover">
<?php <a href="..."><img src="..." ></a> ?>
</p>
<p class="album-info">
<?php ..description... ?>

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'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... 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. Code: <!doctype html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style>
body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #00c;
}
div#wrap{
width: 600px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #ccc;
}
div#top{
width: 550px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #0cc;
border: 1px solid red;
}
div#top div#logo{
width: 150px;
float: left;
}
div#top div#links{
width: 400px;
float: right;
text-align:right;
}
div#top div#links ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
div#top div#links ul li{
float: left;
padding-left:10px;
padding-right:10px;
}
div#top div#links ul li:hover{
color: #c00;
}
div#middle{
width: 520px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #ff0;
}
</style>
</head>

<div id="wrap">
<div id="top">
<div id="logo">

<div id="links">

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? 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. |
