CSS - Divs And Clear
I'm trying to get a container div to stretch to the size of it's contents. Note, #navigation and #title will be for aesthetics only and aren't being used yet. Am I wrong in thinking that the clear has to go in the containing div, not the component divs? Anyway, I've tried both and neither works.
I have: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

And CSS: Code: div.leftcolumn{
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
div.rightcolumn{
position: relative;
margin-left: 205px;
padding-left: 5px;
border-left: 1px solid #222222;
}

Hey all, please check this page: http://www.trshady.com/eminemdownloads/ You'll see for floated grev divs. These are working well but the red sentence underneath is not adding margin like it should and it seems the block element is starting in line with the 1st floated div when it shouldn't as the width is too large. I'm unable to use clear as that would place the red sentence below the left hand menu which is floated.Any idea what I could do here? The only solution I see is to wrap the four boxes within a div and add a height larger then all boxes, but there must be a straight forward method. Cheers I've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.). Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left". What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it? Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="border: 1px solid #000; ">
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF. Here's the site in Question: http://www.winchps.vic.edu.au It's a standard fixed width floated DIV columns with a wrapper. One thing it does have is a second DIV inside both columns to display the Gradient background over the top of the repeated background. It works perfect in Firefox & IE7 (with a tweak) but IE6 mkes the sidebar nested div drop below the original sidebar DIV click here for a screenshot for those lucky enough not to have IE6. Here's the CSS code for the basic layout: Code:
body {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px 0px 60px 0px;
padding:0px;
border: 0;
line-height: 2;
}
#header {
width: 802px;
}
#wrapper {
width: 802px;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(images/bodybg.jpg) center repeat-y;
}
#content {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#maingrad {
background: url(images/winchcontentgrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px;
}
#main {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
#mainstop {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000;
font-size: 10px;
}
#sidebargrad {
background: url(images/winchsidebargrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px 5px 0px 10px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
float: left;
background: url(images/winchsidebg.jpg) repeat;
line-height: 2;
font-size: 14px;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? The Example I've read a bunch about how div's won't stretch to accomidate div's inside of them if they overrun the height/min-height set for the container div. How do I get around this? You can see the skeleton of the site above. It's fine unless you resize the window smaller than the content. I have a site with a bunch of floats. It looks something like this: [HTML]<div id="nav" style="float: left"> </div> <div id="content"> <div style="float: left"> </div> <div style="float: right"> </div> <br style="clear: both" </div>[/HTML] Now that clear:both also clears #nav instead of the two divs in #content. Is there any way to fix this so it doesn't clear #nav? Can someone explain to my why my "spacer" div is not working (i'm looking in IE7 & Firefox)? Here's the page (I put a 1p border around the "clear" div so that you can see it for testing): http://www.welcome-home-interiors.net/services.php Below is the HTML and CSS... HTML: Code: <body>

Thanks!... Hello, Consider the following design: <div id="container"> <div id="A" class="A"></div> <div id="B" class="B"></div> </div> And the CSS classes: .A {float:left; clear:left} .B {float:left; clear:right} This does not work well. So I always do as follow: <div id="container"> <div id="A" class="A"></div> <div id="B" class="B"></div> <div id="clear" class="clear"></div> </div> Whe .A {clear:both} This always happens when I have divs inside other divs. Does anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks, Miguel 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've got a div that incorporates some inline styling. Looks fine on a blank page, but when I insert it into a more complex page it inherits all the styling of the stylesheets. Is there anyway to I can have this div ignore all inherited styling and just format itself according to browser defaults and its own inline styling? Does anyone know why the clear: left isn't working on firefox 1.0 on this page. Generic Page with floating divs and then clearing them for a new line. http://section31.us/temp/float_boxes.html Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? Hi i am trying to display small divs next to each other on one row, when i put clear left on the div that i want on the left, so that it puts it on the next line, the 3 divs then jump right down the page, putting a massive gap between this and the content above, is there a way to stop this happening? the code i have is html Code: <div id="arrow1">arrow1</div> <div id="arrow2">arrow2</div> <div id="arrow3">arrow3</div> Code: #arrow1 {
background-image:url(images/arrow.gif) ;
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:176px;
height:96px;
float:left;
display:inline;
clear:left;
}

hello all, once again, IE is presenting problems where everything else is just fine. specifically, my footer isn't clearing. i've looked around and apparently this is nothing new, but none of the fixes seem to be working. so first, the offending page (one look in IE and all will be understood instantly): http://www.teamsnowvalley.com/news/headline.php?id=12 i've made the footer RED to indicate the snafu in IE. relevant CSS (i stripped out unnecessary crap): #content { float:left; display:block; margin:0 0 25px } #content .full { float:left; width:500px; padding-right:15px; border-right:solid 2px #CCC } #rightSideBar { float:left; padding-left:15px; width:207px } #footer { clear:both; padding:20px 0; background:red url(/images/footerBG.gif) repeat-x top } HAAAAALLLLLPPP thanks m Hi again , I've got one more question: when you've used a 2 or 3-col layout for your webpage (the right, possibly the middle col holds the actual content, the others are floating divs used as menus), you can no more use the clear property for the actual content? Because it clears the space until all floating elements ends - including menus , so it finally looks like here. Here are CSS used for this page: CSS_1 (used for the fotogallery only) and CSS_2 (used mainly for layout of the web). I think there is a solution, I've already thought it can be found on BonRouge's pages (very useful pages by the way), but he made the menu using absolute positioning . So has anyone any idea how to solve this? And maybe one more detail: can be pictures in this fotogallery centered in their parent <div> (red bordered)? They're all floating, so it's not so easy, if possible. Oh man, rebuild these pages without tables, it really drives me mad... Hello, I have used the containment hack in several of my projects. However I found examples where they use "<div style="clear:both"></div>". The result is the same. So which one should I use? never mind. |
