CSS - Positioning Probl. With Text Wrap

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.

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 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?

Hi all,

Is it possible to wrap text in a Drop Down Box??

I am displaying a list of users on my site. Each user has a picture with some text below. I want to display this image+text block" and I want it to wrap like text.

I made inline div and tables with these elements but it seems to wrap arbitrarily around the page.

any suggestions?

Please realize this question is coming from a new CSSer.

I would like to have the text I have in the content area wrap around the box on the right. So when I type more content, the bottom portion will extend below the box. The box will always stay at the top.

can someone help me do this?

My page

By the way, I know it doesn't render properly in FireFox - I was going to ask about that later.

Seems to work just fine in IE 5.5+, however in Mozilla 1.5 the text just drops below the photo.

Here is the page:

Here is the sites CSS:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi
How can I wrap a long line of text inside a fixed width div?

Hi,

For SEO reasons I'm trying to add an < H1 > tag around some text and have that text appear as the other text in a paragrah.

The problem is any text I put in the h1 tags don't seem to wrap in IE or NS. Instead, if it needs to wrap it puts it on the next line.

For example, if I had something that looked like:

The quick brown fox
jumped over the fence
and ate the cat

And I surround "brown fox jumped" in h1 tags, in IE and NS it would look like:

The quick
brown fox jumped over
the fence and ate the cat

Does that make sense? Any solution to that? The style I'm using is simply

Code:

h1
{	
	position:relative; 	
	font: 12px/14px Verdana;
	display:inline;
	margin:0;
}

TIA!

Hi.

Are doing some tests of a website of mine.

On my local computer it is looking fine in all major browsers.

In IE6 things are not that good.

When visiting pages in IE6 the styling of the page is gone.

And if I click Back button in browser toolbar then I get this in address of browser:

res://ieframe.dll/repost.htm

Another weird thing is that when I visit a page on the site...
then the styling is gone.
Now if I place cursor in browser address field and hit enter then the page is displayed normally with all styling in place.

Same apply if I visit a page, no styling, and click reload button then all styling is correct.

For the two above .. if I then click any link in the site then the page that opens are without styling.

This does not happen on my localhost, only when I test it on www.

ANOTHER weird thing is this:
This is also working on my localhost.

I click a text in the page which runs a JS function that uses window.open to open a window and load a report.php file.

This php script sends a pdf file back to browser.....
the code for sending it back to browser is below:
It works as it should in IE7, Firefox etc.. but IE6 present me with a wrong name of the report calling it report.php (name of the php script itself, though the content of the file is definitely pdf content.... )

(I belive IE6 should be hospitalized)

Note: I have also tried with a super simple $docName instead of the one below. Tried using $docName="report.pdf";
and got same result.

My localhost is on windows xp
My www app is on linux.

Code:

$docName = "Report-Name-Here-".$dateTime.".pdf";

Header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
	Header('Content-Length: '.filesize($file));
	
	header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$docName.'"');
	header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
	header('Pragma: public');
	
	readfile($file);
	//Remove file
	unlink($file);
	exit;

Has anybody experienced this ... and/or know how to fix this IE6 quirks.

Hello,

I'm new to css layouts.

I had to float:left every element so the heights stretch

problem is if the image in "page_c_left" is wider than 45% then "page_c_right" will automatically go on the next line. (in Firefox, IE seems to wrap the text without moving the element).


also, i wanted to have the content displayed first for non-css browsers, but the examples used position:absolute. when the impression i got was that float is preferable to position.

i'm very confused on which method to use for layouts.

what method would you use for complex css layouts? float, position or other?

this is code with the text wrap problem
Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>test</title>
<style type="text/css">

#main_c {
  float:left;
  width:770px;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid black
}

#header_c {
  float:left;
  border:1px solid brown
}

#page_c {
  float:left;
  width:100%;
  border:1px solid red
}

#page_c_left {
  float:left;
  padding:10px;
  border:1px solid blue
}

#page_c_right {
  float:left;
  width:55%;
  padding:10px;

}

#footer_c {

I'm currently working on a page that has a 3-column layout. The layout is fine as along as the content of the columns doesn't extend passed its given width.

Is there a way to have the text either wrap or extend without extending the div it's in.

I have attached a pic of what's happening (this is only when I get errors, the rest of the content doesn't extend the div). Is there a way to hide the text that goes beyond the div width?

CSS
Code:

/* columns */
#lcol {
  float: left;
  width: 190px;
  vertical-align: top;
}
#mcol {
  float: right;
  width: 350px;
  padding-right: 10px;
  vertical-align: top;
}
#rcol {
  float: right;
  width: 200px;
  vertical-align: top;
}
/* gray box */
.gray_box_frame
{
  background-color: #fff;
  border: solid 1px #404040;
  width: 100%;
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 3px 0px 3px 0px;
}

.gray_box_head
{
  height: 18px;
  background-color: #404040;
}
.gray_smm,
.green_smm
{
  display: inline;
  float: right;
  height: 18px;
  cursor: pointer;
}
.gray_box_content,
.green_box_content
{
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 5px;
}

hi,

im trying to get a long text to wrap in a div with a given width

PHP Code:
<div style="
width: 100px;
word-wrap: break-word;
">
aaweofajw;eofija;weoifja;weoifja;woeifja;woeifja;wieofj
</div> 





however, the closest thing i found is "word-wrap: break-word;" which only works in IE. is there anyway i can get it to work in netscape or firefox?

thanks!

justin

How's it going,

If you look at this page, you'll notice that the text doesn't wrap around the image, but instead breaks after the caption just below the image:

http://www.trophyfishingcharters.com/test/

Ideally, I want the text to wrap around the picture, with the caption remaining just below the photo. How can I pull this off?

Thank you.
