CSS - Opposite Align Two Elements
Hello, I have this small problem with aligning two elemets. I want the other element to be left aligned and the other right aligned.
This is how it looks like Code: <div class="links"> <div class="name">Kimppa</div> <div class="date">10/20/05</div> </div> <style> .links { width: 700px; } .name { // Left-align this element } .date { // Right-align this element } </style> Both the name and date elements must be horizontally on the same line (so no line breaks). Any idea how I could do this? Similar TutorialsIf you go to the page http://electrojams.com/2010/05/03/n...le-some-chords/ you will see at the top of my post the "social sharing" icons...

Is it possible to align vertically block elements in a fixed-height (unknown) container? If not, this is a serious shortcoming of the css model of placing objects on the screen. Thanks! Hi! I am beginning to use and learn CSS in more depth as of recent, and I've came across an issue which I wonder if it is a known one, or if it is related to my code. Within a parent div, I have floated a div element to the right of another div element with the use of float:right; . The floated div is a class which is used two times in this instance, thus I want to define the margin-left it should have to the leftmost element in the parent div, but also which the second iteration of this will have in relation to the first one. However combining the float:right; and margin-left:xx; lines, the element margin does not start with the end of the leftmost div element which I am seeking to float it to the right of, rather, the margin is for some reason beginning in the middle of the parent div. Is there any known issue here that I need to be aware of, and is it possible to get the margin to start at the end of the first (and leftmost) div element. I am using a margin-right for the time being to get some reasonable positioning, however the result is a compromise of what I originally intended. Hello, I'm having some problems with with the menu and CSS. I'm trying to retouch some aspects of my website, and the last think I need to do now is the menu. Right now, here is how it looks like: www.lightblu.com You see the menu on the very top, then the logo below it, and then the banner below the logo. My users were "annoyed" by the amount of empty space between the top menu and the banner. Having thought of many possibilities, I encountered a template over at TemplateMonster, which is the exact menu I need. The reason I did not purchase it is that usually TM uses tables rather than pure CSS. And here is the menu I'm talking about: http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/18925.html You see the menu? And that's the exact same menu-concept that I'd like to have. Of course the background will be Black just as my website, rather than the greyish one you see at TM. Now here is the problem I'm having. When I'm trying to align the logo with the menu, it just doesn't happen. I have the logo the on top left, which is fine, but then the menu appears below the logo on the right side. And I just cannot figure this thing out. Grrrr.. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a ton guys! Hello all, I'm having a bit of trouble with a list of relative, floated <li> elements, each containing a single absolutely positioned div that appears on hover. I'm using the :hover pseudo-class currently but I will use JavaScript for IE6 once it displays correctly. The code is below. The problem is that the <div> appears on top of it's parent element but behind all other elements. Code: #wrapper-body ul.staff-list{ list-style-type:none; padding-top:10px; position:relative; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team{ width:313px; padding-top:0; padding-bottom:15px; margin-bottom:20px; border-bottom:1px solid #d7e3a9; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list li{ float:left; width:230px; position:relative; padding:8px 0 8px 15px; z-index:1; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team li{ width:151px; padding-left:0; padding-left:5px; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team li.right{ padding-left:5px; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li{ float:none; width:310px; padding-left:5px; } #wrapper-body ul li.highlight{ background-color:#f4f6ec; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list li p{ padding:0 0 9px 0; margin-left:91px; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list li small{ padding:0 0 5px 0; margin-left:91px; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span{ color:#A6302B; display:block; float:left; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span.clerk-name{ width:140px; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span.clerk-phone{ width:120px; background:url(../img/structure/clerks-phone.gif) 0 2px no-repeat; padding-left:23px; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li a.clerk-email{ display:block; float:left; height:16px; width:16px; background:url(../img/structure/clerks-mail.gif) 0 3px no-repeat; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list li div.staff-list-detail{ display:none; background:url(../img/structure/staff-list-bottom.gif) left bottom repeat-x; padding-bottom:3px; margin-top:-15px; left:4px; z-index:10; top:15px; position:absolute; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list li div.staff-list-detail a{ background:url(../img/structure/staff-list-bullet.gif) no-repeat 0 4px; padding-left:8px; } #wrapper-body ul.staff-list li:hover div.staff-list-detail{ display:block; } An image of what is happening below: Thanks for reading! I have a header wrapper for a column heading that sets the width and background of the column header. In that column header I have a tag for the header title, which is aligned left. Know, I find that the customer wants to add an "As of Date", on the same line, but wants it aligned right. Is this even possible to do? I cannot seem to come up with the correct .css code that would allow me to do this. html code Code: <div class="wide_column_header"><span class="headerbartext">Make Your Enrollment Selection</span><span class="headerbartextright">As of 3/31/2008</span></div> css tags: Code: .wide_column_header { float:left; width:558px; margin:0 0 0 5px; background-image:url(../images/wide_header.jpg); height:21px; font-size:100%; font-weight:900; line-height:100%; vertical-align:bottom; color:#fff;} .headerbartext { font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold; text-align:right; padding-left:15px; line-height: 140%;} .headerbartextright { font-size: 12px; font-weight:bold; text-align:right; padding-right:15px; line-height: 140%;} I'm making a webpage for myself, and am coding to current Transitional XHTML and CSS standards. I'm using Firefox 0.9.2 for viewing the page. The problem I'm having is with adding a class to a <td> element and getting it to work correctly in IE 6. The CSS class I'm using for the <td> element is as follows: Code: .w3type{color: black; background-color: #FFCE6B;} Code: .w3type:hover{color: white; background-color: red; background-image: url(images/mrgreen.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: right;} I add this class to a <td> tag: Code: <td class="w3type"> and when i view it in FF, the text and background work correctly, changing color and adding a little image to the right when I hover my mouse over it. The problem is that when I go to view the code in action with IE 6, neither the background nor the image will appear on hover. Is this a problem with IE, or my code? If you want to see the code on my site, here's the link. The css formatting in question is on the lower left corner of the page (the W3C webbadges). Thanks for any help Hi, I know this must be a real stupid question but I've tried loads of googling around and just cant figure out how to do this. Please could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I can usually figure out most CSS problems but this one is a mystery. The following creates a curved box by covering the corner with an image. The problem is in IE6.0, the corner images do not align at the top but display about 10 pixels below it, so therefore I have a the box line and corners at the top and then the curved corners below it. Other browsers display fine, including IE7.0. Why is it doing this? Here is the CSS: Code: <style type="text/css"> .contain { position:relative; top:0; left:0; text-align:left; padding:0; border:1px solid #ccc; margin:0 0 10px 0; background-color:#fff; vertical-align:top; } .corner-top { display:block; font-size:0; line-height:0; margin:0; height:8px; width:100%; position:relative; top:-1px; right:-1px; background:transparent url(/images/crn_tr_bb.gif) no-repeat top right;} .corner-top .corner-left { display:block; font-size:0; line-height:0; margin:0; height:8px; width:8px; position:relative; left:-2px; background:transparent url(/images/crn_tl_bb.gif) no-repeat top left; } .corner-bottom { display:block; font-size:0; line-height:0; margin:0; height:8px; width:100%; position:relative; bottom:-1px; right:-1px; background: transparent url(/images/crn_br_bb.gif) no-repeat bottom right;} .corner-bottom .corner-left { display:block; font-size:0; line-height:0; margin:0; height:8px; width:8px; position:relative; left:-2px; background: transparent url(/images/crn_bl_bb.gif) no-repeat bottom left; } </style> <div class="contain"> <div class="corner-top"><div class="corner-left"></div></div> <div class="intro" style="position:relative;"><p>Text here...</p> <div class="corner-bottom"><div class="corner-left"></div></div> </div> I'm trying to learn CSS. I've taken great pains to get everything right. My pages all validate and they look correct on Firefox and mostly correct on Chrome. However IE is all over the place. If you view the below pages side by side on Firefox and IE, the following occur (in order of importance): - the top main box is pushed below where the left boxes end - the upper-right drop-down stuff is totally off in the weeds (Chrome also looks like IE) - "Recipes" tab isn't borderless on the bottom edge - left boxes are the wrong size and push "Clear List" out of bounds - search button is off in relation to search box mcrackan.com/recipes/csstest.htm mcrackan.com/recipes/css/default.css (Sorry about the non-links. I'm apparently not allowed to post click-able links yet.) Can anyone point me in the right direction for whatever I'm doing wrong? - Dinah Hi Guys, I have a generic Question/Problem to do with a Block Element (in this case a div) in an li tag. This seems to be a problem in browsers like IE8 and Safari but not IE7 and the latest FireFox version. Where with the div item 'drops down' a line from the li bullet. Like this (. is the li): . Here is My Div Content I want it to be like this: . Here is My Div Content Now this only doesn't happen if I just have plan text between the div with no class, so I'm thinking that something in my css dragHandle class may be at fault. Either that or I need to add something to it to do with float or display: line or block etc? Any thoughts or ideas are most appriciated (note I'm using a div in an li as I'm using the AJAX reorder list control and need something for a 'drag handle' to select an item in the list. The reorderlist uses ul and li to display itslef to I have to use this markup structure). Here is my markup. <ul> <li> <div class="dragHandle"> </div> </li> </ul> DragHandle class is as follows .dragHandle { width: 20px; height: 25px; background-image: url(/styles/icons/selectarrow.JPG); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; cursor: move; } I have a header set up as a div. Inside the header are three elements: #logo, #picture and #contact_info. #logo and #picture are images (image tags in the "html") and #contact_info is a div. I want #logo to float to the left (no problem), #picture to float to the right (problem), and #contact_info to be flush against #picture's left side. How might I accomplish this? Nothing is positioning correctly except #logo. the (pertinent) css is: Code: #main { width: 875px; background-color: #FFCC77; border-style: inset; border: 2px solid #008080; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } #header { width: 875px; height: 177px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background:url("gradient2.jpg") repeat-x; border: 2px solid #008080; } #logo { width:300px; height:155px; float: left; } #contact_info { color: #800080; font-variant: small-caps; font-family: sans-serif; font-weight: 500; font-size: 14px; padding-top:0px; padding-right:10px; float: right; } #picture { width: 160px; height: 139; margin: 10 10 10 10px; } The html is: Code: <body> <div id="header"> <img src="Styles/redonelogo.jpg"> <img src="Styles/picture.jpg"> <div id="contact_info"> <p>Casa Grande Acclaim Realty<br/> 11283 N.

The way elements are placed relative to each other was designed by someone very kind on another forum. I find it quite confusing to be honest (Im a total newb.) and was wondering if this is the best way to do this or if there is a way of aligning elements by just specifying where on the page they should be without necessarily affecting the position of other elements? (Is this possible using z-index?) If this is possible, how might I go about it and is it a good or bad idea? (the guy who helped me previously appeared to be pretty smart, so I'm guessing there's a reason he laid things out the way he did) Here is my CSS: Code: * { padding:0; margin:0; list-style-type:none;
