CSS - Problem Floating Elements Within 3 Col Stetchy Layout
Hi everybody
I'm having a problem (only in IE) with the following layout http://www.ruthwhiteyoga.com/shop/test2/list.htm The left fixed width column, right fixed width column and centre stretchy column all sit inside a holding div (100% wide) The left column is floated left, the right column is floated right and the centre column has margin left and margin right values that clear the two floated columns The problem is that in IE the floated product divs (in the centre column) ignore the margin-right. As soon as the content ends in the right column the product divs spill into the area that the margin should be keeping them out of (you might need to alter the width of your window to see this happening) I think the problem is that I can't give the centre column a width (100%) because it also needs a margin to force the content in - 100% plus 230px for the left column plus 230px for the right column will totally screw up the page Beyond sticking these three columns into a table (something I really really don't want to do) or using percentage for all three columns (so I can give the centre column a width value) is there anything I can do about this. Really appreciate any help Similar TutorialsHello 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! Hello all, sorry if this is a "newb" question, but I am having trouble with the code on my site. The element "#arrival" is not displaying the proper height unless I literally type code in to fill it up the full 400px. I haven't implemented any paragraph styles, I just want to get the basic elements done for this landing page. How would I go about fixing this? Also, do I have to "float" the "#arrival" element? I would like to have the dog house overlap the first div element of the dog jumping (#dog) like in the jpg. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what it should like: http://i33.tinypic.com/2uh7evm.jpg But this is actually what is happening: http://www.amandambruce.com/DROH/index.html Thanks in advance, Amanda p.s. here is the code directly from the source: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//w3c//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "(URL address blocked: See forum rules)"> <html xmlns="html://(URL address blocked: See forum rules)/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>The Dachsund Rescue of Houston</title> <style type="text/css"> body{ background: url(images/background.jpg) no-repeat top center;} #contain{ width: 800px; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #menu{ width: 466px; height: 98px; float: right; margin-top: 15px; } #dog{ width: 491px; heigth: 257px; margin-top: 19px; margin-left: 22px; float: left; } /* margin-top is the menu plus the remaining pixels (19) so, from the very TOP of the page.

I have a form "behind" the div. For some weird reason, the drop down elements on the form "bleed through" the div. Is there any way to fix this? I am using a <dl> list to render dates and titles for a press release page. I want to display the date first and then display the title on the same line next to the date. If the title needs to wrap to more than 1 line, it should not wrap below the date - its left margin should be consistent. Simple example: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.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"> dl { width: 100%; } dt, dd { float: left; margin: 5px; } </style> </head> <dl> <dt>12.24.2006</dt> <dd>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi consectetuer cursus lacus. Nullam imperdiet diam sit amet dui. Suspendisse nonummy, ante ut pharetra vehicula, augue neque porta arcu, vel adipiscing lorem augue eu purus. Aenean vulputate pellentesque arcu.</dd> </dl> <body> </body> </html> My problem is that with a long title that wraps to more than 1 line, Firefox is putting the <dd> on its own line - it will not float it next to the <dt> as it should. If you change the title to something shoter like Code: <dd>A ShortTitle</dd> It displays as it should. Any ideas why this is happening? Hi! Does floating an inline element automatically converts it to a block-level element? If yes, what does this give for an inline element: float: left; display: inline; ? Is it bad practice to float inline elements directly? (img, span, input, and so on). Thanks I am pretty much a css newbie, but I get everything that I have learned so far. The only problem I have is understanding how floating for layout works. I want to create a 3 column layout, with the nav menu on the left, content in the middle, and sidebar on the right. I just can't get them to align where I want them to. How would I go about in doing this? I have followed many tutorials and tried doing it on my own, and just can't get it right. I've tried various methods such as floating left and right, clearing left and right, padding, added width and negative margins. It's really frustrating. Can someone please help me out? Thanks in advance! OK, I have been trying to figure this one out but it's been a while since I last messed with floating stuff around on a page. The layout I want is an element taking up the full width at the top, a navigation bar on the left and any number of elements taking up whats left under the top one to the right of the nav bar. I have gotten this working sans top element by absolutely positioning the nav bar and giving the main elements appropriate left margins, but with the top element this would require setting a top position for the nav bar perfectly fitted to the height of the top element. I was hoping to be able to float the nav and main elements, and clear the top one (in case it's narrow). The problem is, ideally I'd have the nav bar be a fixed width, and the main elements can then scale with the browser window. But I can't get it to work right. Any suggestions? Basically I have some body text with a sidebar, and a colored box within the body text. If the body box is below the sidebar, I want it to stretch to the width of the page. below sidebar If the body box is beside the sidebar, I don't want it to touch the sidebar (for whatever reason, the background will touch it but not the text). What I want is illustrated he not touching I've currently accomplished this by floating the sidebar to the right, floating the body box to the left, and clearing the float after the body box. This works great in Internet Explorer, but in Firefox and Opera, the body box is always placed below the sidebar: Firefox view I can accomplish what I want by using tables, but obviously I'd like to avoid that. Is there a cross browser way to get what I want? Greetings: I need to essentially create a table out of DIV tags. The reason is because I need to grant the user the ability to use scrollbars to navigate in a given cell. The problem I am running into, is when the DIV elements fall outside of the wrapper DIV, they wrap to new lines. The DIV "table" within the HTML table is by design. This is because I cannot create a scrollable subset of elements within TD tags. I am simply looking for the way to ensure the following: 1. The DIV "cells" do not wrap (as they are now) and 2. Scrollbars exist to move horizontally and vertically within the "cell" I've experimented with all sorts of combinations of CSS in several of the elements to no avail. Thanks for any help. The HTML for the table: Code: <table id="optionsMatrixTable" border="1"> <thead id="optionsMatrixTableHead"> <!-- <tr id="optionsMatrixTableHeadRow"></tr> --> <tr class="menuRow"

Good Day All, I have a basic layout question. In this page, any many others, I have my image element floated to the left of a table. This seems to work well in big resolutions but when I view the page on smaller resolutions, the table gets pushed down below the image. In some cases, this is ok... but if I want to prevent this from happening and keep the img and table together to prevent the dropping, how can I do this? What is the cleanest/easiest way? In the example below, the 4th table from the top is the one that will drop first. Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to keep my liquid layout other than grouping these two items together - and I only need to apply this to a few of them, not all. http://029c92a.netsolhost.com/abrasives/cutmetalm.html Colin Please view the attached image.

It looks like this on all platforms and on all browsers except IE 5.0 and 6.0: IE 5.0 and 6.0 render the following: I have included my html + css code below. I have tried to make #sidenav float:left instead of float:right. This makes no difference for browsers but IE 5.0 and 6.0, which then again render the page wrong. Also decreasing the width of #sidenav (i.e. to 20px) doesn't help; the result is the same. Could somebody please help me fixing this There must be at least one css guru out there today All help is greatly appreciated!

View it in IE, and the floating boxes push the white div below them. How can I get IE to render this the same as FF? I use form field hints on my sign up page. I am trying to float it to right with the codes below but its not happening. .hint { float:right; display: none; position:absolute; width: 150px; border: 1px solid #aaaaaa; background: #d7d7d7; } www.pearl.ru/isdunyasi/signup.asp Hi All I seem to have an issue with floating an element in IE6&7. All other browsers (including IE8) are fine. When using a right float element, IE7 seems to push the elements to the left of it below the right-floated element, instead of to the left where they are suppose to be. Is there a work-a-round and/or hack for this? Cheers! Russ Hi I use DIV to display image thumbnails in a row from php loop. for each div containing image I have set the attribute float: left; so that multiple images can be displayed in parallel. Now the problem is that if I have a single image then there is no need to show it on the extreme left of the page but in the center, but the thumbnail is displayed on the extreme left, here is my code till now, PHP Code: echo "<div style=' text-align: center; border: solid 1px #993333; padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: left; margin-left: 6%; '>"; echo "<div style=' text-align: center; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;'> <a href='/$path' rel=\"lightbox\"><img src='/print_resize_image.php?image=$path&type=$extension' width=200 height=150 border=0 ></a> </div></div>"; Hi.. I have a problem with ie rendering floaring dd's. What happens is the dd stay next to each other even if i had cleared it. It works fine in FF. Can anyone share some light? ... here is the code... Code: <dl> <dt>Email:</dt> <dd><input type="text" /></dd> <dt>State:</dt> <dd> <select> <option>option1</option> <option>option2</option> <option>option3</option> </select> </dd> <dt>Year of Birth:</dt> <dd> <select> <option>option1</option> <option>option2</option> <option>option3</option> </select> </dd> </dl> and the css: Code: dl{ } dl dt{ clear:both; width:80px; text-align:right; margin:10px 0; } dl dd{ margin:8px 0 0 5px; } dl dt,dl dd{ float:left; } thank you in advance I dont know what I am doing wrong. I checked one of the online templates and actually I got the idea from an online template. I want to float columnist image to left, short text to right with these codes. It appears fine at ie but in firefox text appears line under image. Here; http://www.pearl.ru/isdunyasi #maincontentcolumns { float:left; margin-right:2px; width:598px; height:150px; background:#FFFFFF url(images/innerheadline_bg.gif) top no-repeat; } #maincontentcolumns h1 { padding:0px; margin-bottom:5px; font-size:14px; font-weight:bold; color:#FFFFFF; } #maincontentcolumns .c { float:left; margin:0px 2px 0px 2px; width:292px; height:80px; } #maincontentcolumns .c img { float:left; position:relative; height:80px; width:80px; padding:2px; } #maincontentcolumns .c p { float:right; padding:2px; margin:0; font-size:14px; } PS: This is my last working with ie not with firefox message. I started testing with firefox. When it works with firefox it surely works with ie. [code] <div id="wrapper" style="background-color:black;padding:2px;overflow:visible;"> <div id="left-floating-box" style="background-color:red;float:left;">asdfsadf</div> <div id="right-floating-box" style="background-color:blue;float:right;">asdfsadf</div> </div> [code] here is a problem, warpper div doesnt strech to the height of the floating divs, ofcourse when you get rid of floating then everything work but i need this to work as it intended and that is two floating boxes with in one div and this div would wrap around two floating boxes and that way background would stretch as well. I rember solving this problem. Long time ago, but for some reason i am stock right now with this problem. Any one can refresh or sugest anything. Thank you. |
