CSS - Float An Image To The Right

Hello,

I'm trying to float an image inside a content div that is inside a wrapper div that already has a float left (nav) div earlier in the html. I know that this means that the floated image div will not be cleared until after the already floating nav div, since this is the one that comes earlier in the html and is quite large. It leaves a large gap until it clears the nav div.

I have tried a couple of things, here is the page I'm working on and this is the css file

This hasn't been tested on Windows, so I have no idea how it looks.
It has been tested on the Mac: Safari, Opera, Netscape and Firefox display as described above, but IE Mac is way off whack.

The current setup of the page is this:

HTML: Code:

<div id="content">
	<div id="breadcrumb"><a href="http://www.huntacular.com/">Homepage</a></div>
	
	<div class="image1">
		<img class="left" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150">
		<p class="red">Etiam vulputate rutrum dui. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis 
		parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus.</p>
	</div>
	<div class="image2">
		<img class="right" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150">
		<p class="orange">Donec accumsan. Pellentesque ac est vitae sapien scelerisque auctor. Nunc pede 
		diam, interdum vel, dictum ut, egestas eget, metus. Maecenas eget sapien.</p>
	</div>
		
	<div class="another3">
		<img class="left" src="./images/pic.png" alt="Mystery Image" width"260" height="150">
		<p class="blue">Etiam vulputate rutrum dui. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient 
		montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Sed vulputate. Nulla ac leo sollicitudin mauris fringilla 
		consectetuer.</p>
	</div>

CSS: Code:

img.left {
	float: left;
	border: solid 1px black;
	padding: 10px;
	margin-right:10px;
	margin: bottom: 10px;
}

img.right {
	float: right;
	border: solid 1px black;
	padding: 10px;
	margin-left:10px;
}

.image1 {
	border: red 1px solid;
	padding : 0px;
}
.image2 {
	border: orange 1px solid;
	padding : 0px;
}
.image3 {
	border: blue 1px solid;
	padding : 0px;
}
/* Trying to sort the float problem - this sends IE Mac nuts, not checked on IE Win */
.another:after {
    content: ".";
    display: block;
    height: 0;
    font-size: 0;
    clear: both;
    visibility: hidden;
}
.another {display: inline-table;}

/* Hides from IE5/Mac \*/
* html .another {height: 1px;}
.another {display: block;}
/* End hide from IE5/Mac */

/* .clearer {
	clear: both;
} */

p.red {
	color: red;
}
p.orange {
	color: orange;
}
p.blue {
	color: blue;
}

Is there a work around? I thought I'd found one in the third attempt - the one with blue text, but I'm not sure if I've implemented it correctly. Also, IE Mac isn't doing any of these correctly either (well, nearly the second one, but I haven't tested this stuff on Windows either.

Is there a solution?

I have been trying to figure out how to achieve this layout with css for about an hour. I'm sure it is something very simple that I am missing.

Can anyone help?

It looks like the image at the address below.

tophermorrison.com/css_layout.jpg

I have 3 divs

1.banner (100px tall 100% wide)
2.content (100% tall 650px wide)
3.image (100px x100px)

I want the image to stay relative with the content and the content to be centered. The image should be 0 from the top and centered over the right edge of the content.

Is this possible?

This is my code essentially:

<div id="bottom">
<div style="float:left">store hours</div>
<img src="map">
<div style="float:right">contact info</div>
</div>

It looks fine in Safari but it messed up in Firefox. I fixed it a bit by adding overflow:auto to the parent item (bottom div), so it actually has the red background and doesn't collapse. I haven't yet uploaded that fix yet as the problem still isn't solved. Now the div is expanding too much because the 3 items aren't being displayed inline. In firefox the image is pushing the first div beneath it. Any solutions please?

I'm including some images within a UL. I've coded them in there to float. IE displays the list as I want but NN and Opera won't play along. In fact they both "get it wrong" in different ways. What am I doing wrong? (as you can see it is for a course and it is important to me to get it right not just good enough).

Here's the address. The CSS coding is on the actual page for easy viewing.

Hi everyone,

I have a problem I'm trying to overcome with displaying an image next to the text in a table cell. I've set the table cell to valign=middle and this achieves the layout I want (hopefully this demonstration will look right..)
Code:

PICTUREHERE
PICTUREHERE
PICTUREHERE   The text goes here
PICTUREHERE
PICTUREHERE

So the text and the picture are laid out along the middle of the cell. However as soon as the text gets too big for the cell (or the cell gets smaller) this happens:
Code:

PICTUREHERE
PICTUREHERE
PICTUREHERE  The text goes here, but when it's longer
PICTUREHERE
PICTUREHERE
the remainder comes here

I knew this to be because the img is still an inline element in the cell. I tried to solve the problem by making the img float:left, but the following happens, even if the valign=middle property is set in the cell:
Code:

PICTUREHERE   The text goes here, but when it's longer
PICTUREHERE   the remainder comes here
PICTUREHERE
PICTUREHERE
PICTUREHERE

Is it possible to achieve the top layout. If it is can someone help me please (it's probably staring me in the face)

Thank you in advance
Andy

Hi There -

Am converting another design from tables, working with a CMS (Drupal) and an existing CSS / table combination that I didn't write and have no choice about.

Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section.

Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later.

Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page.

On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section.

Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links.

----------

First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back.

Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section.

If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug.

So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu.

---------

It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners.

Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow.

Code:

<div id="top part"
logo and searchbox
</div>

<div>
that pesky space that disappears in IE when roll over primary links
</div>

<div id=navcontainer>
dropdown and tabbed menu
</div>

<div id="navigation" class="menu> <!-- couldn't find the menu class in the css -->
<div id="primary" class="clear-block">
contains barmenu - very fussy
</div>
</div>

Here's the relevant CSS:

Code:

div#navigation {
  background: #fff url(../images/blue/menu-bg.png) 100% 100% repeat-x;
}


#primary {
  line-height: 30px;
}

#primary ul {
  padding:0;
  margin:0;
  list-style:none;
}

#primary li {
  display:inline;
}

#primary a {
  font-weight:bold;
  display:block;
  float:left;
  padding:0px 14px 0px 14px;
  margin: 0px 1px 0px 0px;
  font-size: 95%;
}

#primary a {
  background-position:0% 0px;
}

#primary a:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
  background-position:0% -42px;
}

#primary a.active {
  background-position: 0% -84px;
}

#primary a {
  background: url(../images/blue/menu-div.png) 100% 0 repeat-y;
  color:#666666;
  font-size: 120%;
  font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
}

#primary a:hover {
  color: 666666;
  background: #B8B8B8;
}

#primary a.active {
  color: 666666;
  background: #B8B8B8;
}

This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture.

here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at:

http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages
Code:

div.float {
    float: left;
    BORDER-RIGHT: #808080 2px solid;
    PADDING-RIGHT: 2px;
    BORDER-TOP: #808080 2px solid;
    PADDING-LEFT: 2px;
    FONT-WEIGHT: lighter;
    FONT-SIZE: medium;
    PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px;
    MARGIN: 16px 2%;
    BORDER-LEFT: #808080 2px solid;
    COLOR: #000000;
    PADDING-TOP: 2px;
    BORDER-BOTTOM: #808080 2px solid;
    HEIGHT: 200px;
    WIDTH: 150px;
    BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff;
    TEXT-DECORATION: none
  }
  
div.float p {
   text-align: center;
   }
div.container {
  border: 2px dashed #333;
  background-color: #ffe;
  }
div.spacer {
  clear: both;
  }

MY HTML is like this:
Code:

H1>How to create pages</H1>
<P>The headings are used for splitting up the content file. An H1, H2 or H3 heading will dynamically split the document into new pages in the table of contents. An H4-heading is used as a heading within a page. See the following pages...<BR></P>
<P></P>
<DIV class=container>
<DIV class=spacer></DIV>
<DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 1" src="image1.gif" width=100> 
<P>caption 1</P></DIV>
<DIV class=spacer></DIV>
<DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 2" src="image2.gif" width=100>
<P>caption 2</P></DIV>
<DIV class=spacer>
<DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 3" src="http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/image3.gif" width=100>
<P>caption 3</P></DIV>
<DIV class=spacer></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Hi all,

I have a bit of an odd situation (prob not odd if you seen it before but I have no clue why its doing it!).... I have my webpage:

http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html

which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text.

They are links with the following CSS attached:

div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab {

PHP Code:
 filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0');
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 1.3em;
    background-color: #BCD6BC;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 1px;
    border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5;
    margin: 0 5px 0 2px;
    height: 1.5em;
    width: 140px;    
    padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px;
}

div#Header #MenuSection {
    float:left;
    margin-top: 30px;
} 





here is the HTML code for that part of the page.

PHP Code:
<div ID="MenuSection">
                    <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a>
                    <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a>
                    <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a>
                    <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a>
                    <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a>
                </div>
            <div style="clear:left"> </div> 





I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work!

I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone.

Thanks for the help and advice.

Basically, following link:
www.projectfinalfantasy.com

Works fine in FF but IE, it piles the divs under eachother, whether the float tag is applied or not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Joe.

I almost feel guilty about posting this question, as it has probably been answered in some form before and i just need to figure it out myself, but this is giving me some difficulty. My page displays just how I want it right now to display in Firefox. However, in IE6, it does not display correctly. The XHTML and CSS are both validated and it works perfectly in the more "standard-compliant" browser. But I'm sure there is a way to get this to work in IE as well.

the site is fusiondesign.awardspace.com (new user policy will not let me use links )

the relevant XHTML:
Code:

<div id="container">

<div id="nav">
<a href="#" onclick="changeTab('Home','hcontent');" id="Home">Home</a>
<a href="#" onclick="changeTab('About','acontent');" id="About">About</a>
<a href="#" onclick="changeTab('Services','scontent');" id="Services">Services</a>
<a href="#" onclick="changeTab('Order','ocontent');" id="Order">Order</a>
<a href="#" onclick="changeTab('Contact','ccontent');" id="Contact">Contact</a>
<a href="#" onclick="changeTab('Links','lcontent');" id="Links">Links</a>
</div>

<div id="content">
<noscript>
I noticed you have Javascript disabled. This site will not work correctly unless you have Javascript enabled. Please enable Javascript now.
</noscript>
</div>

...

</div>

and the relevant CSS:
Code:

div#container {
	position:absolute;
	left:50%;
	top:50%;
	width:760px;
	height:332px;
	margin-left:-380px;
	margin-top:-186px;
	border:#FFFFFF 1px solid;
	}
	
div#nav {
	float:left;
	width:170px;
	padding:0;
	}
div#content {
	text-align:justify;
	width:558px;
	padding:1em;
	color:#000000;
	height:300px;
	overflow:auto;
	/*border:#FFFFFF 1px solid;*/
	}

Any direct help or a link to a solution would be greatly appreciated

I always have trouble with floats. I'm just trying to get these two bulleted lists to display next to each other so that the page is shorter.

It isn't exactly working. Close but not quite. Changing the left margin hasn't helped (even bumped it to 55, but it had no effect.)

<span style="float:left;"><h4>New Listings</h4>
<p>Be prepared with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sales Price</li>
<li>Property particulars</li>
<li>Company</li>
<li>Address</li>
<li>Your name</li>
<li>Phone number</li>
</ul></span>

<span style="margin-left: 15em;"><h4>Price and Property Changes</h4>
<p>Please state:</p>
<ul>
<li>Price change or any changes</li>
<li>Address</li>
<li>Company</li>
<li>Name</li>
<li>Phone number</li>
</ul></span>

<span style="float:clear;"><h4>Buyer Wants</h4><span>
<p>Describe your buyer's wants and needs. You will have 30 seconds to present your buyer wants.</p>

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

If I use float: none; in my css the result in IE is perfect. However in Firefox it doesn't work.

Is there a workaround for this?

see "Past Pierced Shows" bottom left corner of page

in IE the images and text line up, in Firefox, they are one under another.

Hi, this bug is driving me nuts. I don't know why it happens. All I know is that it is not even consistent.

Here's a screenshot of the problem: http://www.argsoccertours.com/float-problem.jpg



And here's the code for that part:

Code:

<p>The bus will take you to your hotel, where you can leave your luggage and take a shower.</p>
  <p>This day we suggest the Buenos Aires City Tour. Discover one of the most amazing cities in the world. Buenos Aires is a thoroughly modern city with more than 400 years of history. Visit Florida street, one of the most surprising pedestrian streets in South America. You don't want to miss Palermo Soho, the trendiest neighborhood in Argentina, where you will find tourists from all over the Globe;<img src="images/caption10.jpg" alt="Caminito" width="300" height="300" class="floatright" /> visit Puerto Madero, the preferred area for luxury offices and restaurants; and also check out San Isidro, the most exclusive neighborhood in Buenos Aires.</p>
  <p>You will also get to see Argentina's historic buildings, the <em>Casa Rosada</em> (which means "Pink House" and is the President's office), the <em>Obelisco</em> (a huge tower with a lot of history), and some of the oldest, yet best mantained museums and theaters in the world.</p>
  <p>Finish the day with a short visit to Recoleta, the neighborhood of choice for expats in Buenos Aires to have a good time and eat at the best restaurants.</p>
  <h2>Thursday, March 4 - <span class="redsubtitle">Practice + Palermo Soho + Recoleta</span></h2>
  <p>Your team will have a practice in the morning. A complimentary transfer will be available for you and your Tour Manager will help you with any arrangements that you need.<img src="images/caption11.jpg" alt="Rugby practice" class="floatright" /></p>
  <p>In the afternoon you can have <em>Tapas</em> -a Spanish typical dish- in Palermo Soho, a place that is so cool you will never forget it.</p>

The CSS for floatright is:

Code:

.floatright {
	float: right;
	margin-top: 10px;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
	margin-left: 10px;
}

As you can see in the code, in both cases I insert the image the same way, but the first one looks OK and the second one doesn't. This happens on IE7 (not sure about other versions of IE), but for sure it doesn't happen on FF.

Anybody has any clue on what could cause this?

My home page at mypricesavings.com

I would like to have the twitter banner under the headline to be in its own div. if you look at my style.css I have this code

Code:

#twitter {
	width:590px;
        float:left;        
        background:#fff;
	padding:10px;
	font-size:1.05em;
	line-height:1.5em;
	margin: 10px 0;
	}

Which in fact does what I need it to do when I then add the div to the index.php

however, the store deals and matchups which is the featured div no longer floats to the right of the headline, it will drop all the way down and float next to the twitter.

I do not understand how CSS exactly works and would like to know how to make the twitter be the way I would like it and have the featured work corectly too.

thank you in advance for helping

Derrick

can anyone tell me where I am going wrong? I am trying to float just a side column and a main together, but no matter what I try I cannot get the main to go up next to the sidebar. It works if I put the sidebar to the left, but not the right. I cleared 'both' after the main window, supposedly to make them float together in a container, but nothing I do works.
