CSS - Text Flow For Buttons

What are some reasons that a div box could come out of the flow of the page. I know when you set an elements position to absolute, it comes out of the flow. Fixed does this as well. Any other reasons, or bugs. I have a couple div boxes which are positioned relatively and floated left and right. They have come out of the flow and now overlap other elements. I have no idea why.

Hi All,

I am using DIV tags to hold content rather than using a table.
I have about 16 elements with the following style applied:

Code:

div.game {
	text-align: center;
	float: left;
	height: 180px;
	width: 150px;
	overflow: hidden;
}

This works well, the DIVs will fit as many per row as possible but it can leave a lot of empty space to the right of the screen (up to 150px obviously) and if the last row has less DIVs they to the left of the screen like this:

|--- page ---|
[ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ]

I would like to be able to either center the DIVs or to space them out like this:

|--- page ----|
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
[ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]
______ [ ]

Hope that is clear.

I can't set relative widths, as I want the page to scale. So is there any way I can acheive the effect I want? Thanks.

I'm running into a problem with an interface that I'm developing. Basically it's a collapsible treeview using DHTML and the display property to 'open' and 'close' tables.

I need to have several of these tables side by side but without overflowing horizontally so that the user has to scroll horizontally. The best way I've found was to float the elements so that any overflowing tables would be wrapped.

Example:

[] [] [] []
[] [] [] []
[] [] [] []

However, a problem arised when I 'open' and 'closed' the tables repeatedly (three times or more). The other tables started to wrap immediately after the first table (the one I was opening and closing). So that all the tables lined up in a single column eventually and not flowing as they should've been.

Example:

[]
[]
[]
[]
[]

Upon refreshing the page, everything flows as it should.

Please let me know if I'm unclear in my description.

I've got a 2 column layout. It goes like this:

.leftnav {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}

.content {
position: absolute;
left: 150px;
top: 0px;
}

In the html:

<div class="leftnav">A bunch of navigation</div>
<div class="content">A bunch of content</div>

Now, underneath both of these columns, spanning the width of both, I want a footer div. The leftnav and the content will not be the same length down the page. I don't know which of these 2 columns will be longer on any given page. However, underneath the longest column, I want to put my footer div.

I could do this with a table easily enough. But how fun would that be?

Hello,

My page when correct should show the HeaderContainer, blow that the ActionContainer which has, 3 column divs, then below that the FooterContainer.

It is important that the page build starts with the CenterContainer, then the LeftContainer, then RightContainer.

My issue is that the LeftContainer and RightContainer columns both are aligning to the bottom of each other, and to the bottom of the CenterContainer column. I think this could be an issue with floats. What do you think?

See online demo, http://tlcgiftsandbaskets.com/demo/positioning/position_css.php

Code:

body{
margin: 0pt; margin:0 15px 0 0;
text-align: center;
}

z-index:1;

height:auto;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -350px;
border-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-left-style: solid;
border-right-style: solid;
border-color: #ccbbaa;
background-color: #ffffff;
text-align:left;
}

#ActionContainer	{ margin:0 0 0 0; text-align:left; border:1px solid orange; }
#CenterContainer	{ margin:0 0 0 175px; text-align:left; border:1px solid yellow; width:250px; }
#LeftContainer		{ margin:0 0 0 10px; text-align: left; width: 150px; border:1px solid green; float:left; }
#RightContainer		{ margin:0 0 0 450px; text-align: left; width: 150px; border:1px solid blue; float:right; }
#HeaderContainer	{ margin:0 0 0 0; width: 700px; height: 245px; border:1px solid red; }

'Ello,

This problem is a bit complex to try and explain on here so if this gets too confusing just let me know and I'll try and clear up whatever you are confused about.

I am currently building a site that has a wrapper div with a width set to 100% and a max-width of 1000px so that on smaller screens the site will appear nicer and not have horizontal scrollbars. In this wrapper div is a content div that is 84% of the wrappers width and has it's margin set to 0 auto to make in then content div centre in the wrapper.

What I'm wondering is if there is a way to change the content divs width from 84% to 100% once the wrapper div get to a small enough size. At the moment when the screen gets too small the content div is still 84% size of the wrapper div and centred, but say on a screen with a resolution of 800x600 I think it would be more beneficial to have to content div take up the whole wrapper to display more content.

I was thinking of setting a min-width but then if the screen gets smaller than the min-width a horizontal scroll bar would appear.

I was just wondering if something like this was possible, if not it doesn't matter to much as I can set the min-width up for a 800x600 screen resolution and anything below that probably isn't too important anyway.

Hello,
I'm stumped on how to float an image to the left, and still keep it in the flow of the document. Here is an example off my head.

Code:

#container {
border: 1px solid #000;
}

img.floatleft {
float:left;
}

div {
display: inline;
}

<div id='container'>
<img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>

<div id='container'>
<img src='myimage.jpg' class='floatleft'>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>text</div><br>
<div>

The image will exceed the bounds of 'container' if the image is larger than the text is tall. How can I get around this?

Thanks again for the help.

I have three layers starting at the same position on the page. Each layer has a Y-repeat repeating image that tiles seamlessly. There is one for the left spacer, the middle content, and the right spacer. The Nav menu on the left are just images placed in at the top of the left spacer layer. I'm trying to get each of these layers to expand as content fills up the middle Content layer. This doesnt work at all in Firefox - with any excess content just heading off into white space. And it works somewhat with IE - with only the Content layer to expand as content fills it.

I know this is a recurring issue with CSS, but is there a simple fix for this? I've seen this done before without any Javascript hacks, but can't remember where. I do remember, it didn't look like the most graceful solution.

And in IE, the navigation .gifs on the left have a gap between each of them. I found that odd since they're just <IMG>s within the layer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

My vertical CSS navigation menu buttons overflow when adding 10 or more buttons. The new buttons end up to the right side of the top buttons.

If I change the html format for paragraph format it stops this, but in IE there becomes big space between the buttons.

Here is the site:

I want to get buttons like these with my CSS: http://members.cox.net/npalmi188/test.jpg
how do I do this? (don't worry about the color codes)
everytime I try to get something near it I get this gay gray extra bevel to my button, anybody know how to fix that? here's the code I was using that had the gray bevel:
Code:

input.button 
     { 
       font-family: MS Sans Serif;
       font-weight: none;
       font-size: 10px;
       color: #ffffff;
       background: #4C5844;
     }

Is there a way to create oval buttons with CSS? I have an image of the button, and if I slice the image up in three sections, for example with two ends and a middle section for text, it becomes a mess if you go over a certain length. Is there a better way using CSS?

I'm designing a web site and I have everything look identical in IE 5.01-7, Firefox 1.5 and Opera 9 (I still have to check mac compatibility) - though one thing that isn't the same on all is the input buttons. In IE, they're relatively the same but in Firefox it is completely off. I've attached an image to show what they all look like. I've tried a few things but I can't manage to get the firefox button to align correctly with the text input to the left of it.

Here's my CSS for the inputs:
Code:

input {
	background: #fff;
	border: 1px solid #000;
	height: 23px; }

any help is appreciated, thank you!

Simple question but I'm curious if anyone can work out how the 'Browse' buttons are done on this page, they have rounded corners yet looking through the css I can't see any images that account for them... http://www.haveamint.com/forum/

I have 2 buttons that are not lining up in IE7. I have it working Safari and Firefox on the MAC, but my PC IE browser won't align the buttons. I have tried everything, but no luck.

Here's the site: http://www.caillouette.com/Utilitrek/four/

Here's the CSS for the button elements:
Code:

#bottombox{
