CSS - Multiple Floating
Ok.
So after some one i don't know on a website i was reading told me i should replace my tables with CSS i decided to listen to them. Now the website's top bar should look like this: http://www.leeksoftware.co.uk And i decided to do each box as a DIV. BUT! I can't get them all in a line. I can get the yellow one to the right of the long one but then i cant get the rest in the line. So far the CSS is: Code: div.logo { height: 70px; width: 618px; background-color: #476cD9; float: left; } div.home { height: 70px; width: 100px; background-color: #E29942; margin-left: 619px; float: left; } div.soft { height: 70px; width: 100px; background-color: #CC3333; margin-left: 719px; } div.tuto { height: 70px; width: 100px; background-color: #006666; margin-left: 819px; } div.cont { height: 70px; width: 100px; background-color: #254D78; margin-left: 919px; } I tired adding float left to all of them but that made them go diagonal. Can any one help? Thanks Matt Similar TutorialsTrying to achieve this: I'm having trouble figuring out how to float the right ad space correctly. This is what i've got so far: http://gatehouse.graffetto.com/floating_divs.html Code: Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .mainDiv {margin: 0; border: 1px solid black; padding: 10px; width: 600px; float: left;} .image {height: 100px; width: 100px; background-color: red; float: left;} .rightAd {float: right; background-color: blue; height: 250px; width: 300px; clear:right; margin-top: 300px;} </style> </head> <body> <div class="mainDiv"> <div class="image">test</div> <div class="rightAd">test</div> <div class="textDiv"> Text content </div> </div> </body> </html> I know this is simple i just can't figure it out for some reason.. thanks for any help. Hello I am very new to CSS. One of my problems is that my web experience is only in tools that generate the code. I"m needing what I"m told is a simple thing to do, but not finding it easy for me I tried to post with some links to my site, etc, but the rules won't let me post any links. I have posted in another CSS site, but fine it very inactive and not getting any help. What I'm trying to do All items below to make up the header of the site. A background graphic which fills across the screen, no matter the size of the window. I have this working, although if I shrink the window too far, it overwrites the graphic in item 2 below. A left justified logo graphic. Working fine. A Centered graphic. I have this showing, but it is not quite centered right, and it is a bit smaller than actual, and I cannot get it to space down a bit. (tried padding, does nothing. Trying margin spaces everything down, including item 1 above. A right justified graphic. This shows, but is VERY SMALL, much smaller than original graphic, and it does not right justify. NOTES The current code, below, is based on a tutorial I went through, using % for width. The idea being that if it is built based on percent of width, then whatever width of window, it would adjust. I used 900px for original calculations. I find that it only fills the window as if it is 900 px wide. So I redid the percentages based on 1500px. I've done lots of reading, Googling, and been trying all kinds of stuff and getting not too far with it. Tried px for width too, seems worse. Here is a print screen of the header: [IMG]URL[/IMG] Sigh...sorry...even img code has a url, and even though it showed in preview, I see it will not display it in actual message. The site I"m working on is shuttermaster.co (not com), where you can see what it looks like now. CSS Code Only including the code relevant to the header issue. I do have menu code in CSS, but it is not complete, and I'm not having problems with that. Code: #myHeader {width:auto;height:133px; background:url(/photos/i-QXfPgvM/0/S/i-QXfPgvM-S.jpg) repeat-x} #myLogo { float:left; width:10%; height:150px ; margin-left:2.22%; display:inline; background:url(/photos/i-sttGP6Z/1/O/i-sttGP6Z.png) no-repeat} #myConame { width: 15.33%; height:90px; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; background:url(/photos/i-T3ZjJ8R/2/Th/i-T3ZjJ8R-Th.png) no-repeat} #myBanner { float:right; width: 29.73%; height:150px; background:url(/photos/i-BkhSxLJ/1/Th/i-BkhSxLJ-Th.png) no-repeat} The HTML Code Code: <div id="myHeader"> <div id="myLogo"></div> <div id="myConame"></div> <div id="myBanner"></div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> <div class="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="http://shuttermaster.co">Home</a></li> <li><a href="#">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a class="drop" href="http://shuttermaster.co/galleries" >Galleries <!--[if gte IE 7]><!--></a><!--<![endif]--> <!--[if lte IE 6]><table><tr><td><![endif]--> <ul> <li><a href="http://rogerewingphotography.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Landscapes/19892237_mHBK84">Landscape</a></li> <li><a href="Link">Drop 2</a></li> <li><a href="Link">Drop 3</a></li> </ul> <!--[if lte IE 7]></td></tr></table></a><![endif]--> </li> <li><a href="#">About Me</a></li> <li><a href="#">Guestbook</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> I hope I have been clear enough. Hoping someone can point me the right direction. Regards, and thanks.... I currently have the following layout Code: <table> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </table> how do i go about making the same layout but using CSS. Each <td> is 50% wide I have 3 tables in a div. I have two of the tables one on top of the other. I wanted to place the third table to the left of the bottom table. So I placed the second table relative and left -50px. I placed the third with position absolute, top -70px and float right to achieve this layout. Is there a better way of doing this out of curiousity? Hi Everyone, I've been doing modest CSS for a while now and feel like I have a good grasp of it, and generally find a way of doing what I want. But, this has always bugged me and I need to understand what is going on... I think it's a question of Floating. This is in reference to http://www.arabellamusic.co.uk I want the blog posts to be on the left, and some other content on the right. How is the best way to go about doing this? You can check my source, but this was my thinking: Code: HTML <div class='inner'> <div class='left'> BLOG PHP HERE </div> <div class='right'> SOME OTHER STUFF HERE </div> </div> And the CSS: .inner { width:788px; } .left { float:left; width:50%; } .right { float:left; width:50%; } If you grab my stylesheet and my source, you will see that I have a couple more things in there, but I don't think they could be affecting the rest (text-align etc...) So, am I doing this wrong? I have floated columns in other websites this way and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Incidentally, once it would only work when I set 49% to each, I was assuming this was something to do with the box model I read about, but wasn't too sure. I will try not to play around with the site too much until I get a reply or two, but a few things may jump around as I try stuff! Thanks in advance... James hi, i am a total newbie with css and trying to create a floating divider. an example can be seen at www.payjunction.com. does anyone know a tutorial on how to create one? thanks for the help in advance Hi, Can someone help me with why the following header bar doesn't work in Firefox? It just shows the very top of the bar with the two other divs inside of it. Code: <div class="cmsHeader"> <div style="float: left;">Page Name</div> <div style="float: right;"><a href="" title='Add Page'><img src='images/icons/file_(add)_16x16.gif' border='0' alt='Add Page'></a></div> </div> .cmsHeader{ background: #809096; padding: 5px; width: 98%; color: #FFFFFF; } .cmsHeader a{ color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } .cmsHeader a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } Learning CSS and trying to emulate the following table: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Text 1 |----------------| | | Text 2 | Inner box text| | | Text 3 |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| I can get a nested div to work vertically but not horizontally. I'm trying: Code: div#container { float: left } div#title { float: right } <div id="container"> hello<br>hello <div id="title"> Text 1<br /> Text 2 </div> </div> Which is producing: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Hello | | Hello | | |----------------| | | | Text 1 | | | | Text 2 | | | |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| Perhaps a positioning thing which I don't understand yet? It's not homework so you don't have to do it for me, but rather you could just point to knowledge sources.... Tx! http://jordanmeeter.com/new/links.php If you view that page in Firefox, it displays how it is supposed to. But if you view the page in Internet Explorer, you can see that it is severely ****ed up! Any suggestions? Thanks, Jordan Hi, I'm trying to display text in a floating div in the middle of the page. The style is as follows: Code: .mainContentAreaBackground { position:absolute; z-index:11; top: 190px; left: 230px; width:70%; height:72%; } #mainContentArea{ z-index:12; position:absolute; overflow:auto; overflow-x:hidden; width: 67%; height: 68%; top:205px; left:246px; text-align:left; font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10.0pt; visibility:visible; } There are two anomalies which I think might be bugs in IE's implementation of CSS, and I was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice as to how to get around them. The first problem is that, when going to highlight text in the main content area, all objects on the page are selected, rather than just the intended text. The second anomaly is that, when using the mouse wheel to scroll down in the mainContentArea div when there's overflow, the cursor needs to be hovering over text. If it's hovering over any place with a "hole" in it, such as the space between paragraphs, then it will not scroll. Everything works fine in Firefox. You can see what I'm talking about he http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~jbeard4/lepdev If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Thanks! -Jake I saw this appealing menu from a css contest page and i've studied the code over and over again but i can't seem to get the same effect as this person has done. He has created a menu that just floats while the screen is able to scroll up and down. the site is : http://contest.prestontalk.com/index/FluidFixed/0/4/1/ if anyone knows how this effect is done, let me know. thanks! Please look at this page in FF http://www.roadhousecamper.com/camper.asp?rv=17 Notice div with the red background and the thumbnails? It should float to the right of the large image but is does not. It does though in IE7? Thanks for any help. T 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>"; I have a web page in which I have a table and within that table I have a sub table with two columns. I am using css and allow visitors to move the first column from right to left (they both are different sizes). I now have a need the text in column one be wrapped under column two (as you can do with pictures in say MS word). I can't write the text ahead of time at the bottom of column two as that column floats from left to right -- meaning that the text that should go underneath would be different each time. I assume it is not possible with tables to do such a thing, but thought to ask the experts to see if it is possible or there is another logical way of accomplishing it. I could simply call two different files based on the right-float and left-float and right text accordingly in both files, but to me that does not sound such a great idea. 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 Hi again could someone help me figure out why my left and right box's on thid design are not inline with the content (middle) box thanks see attached pic to see what i mean. Code: CSS CODE body { background:#ffffff; color:#000000; font:76% Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,sans-serif; margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; } /*** Main container ***/ #container { background:#EAEAEA url() repeat-x; color:#000000; width:90%; margin:5px; min-width:770px; padding:0; } /*** Content ***/ #content { background-color:#EEEEEE; border:1px solid #DEDEDE; color:#000000; padding:15px 20px 5px; height:500px; margin:5px; } /*** Main Banner ***/ #Banner { background-color:#EEEEEE; height:55px; border:1px solid #DEDEDE; padding:15px 20px 5px; margin:5px; } /*** Left Side Navigation ***/ #SideNav { width:15%; float:left; background-color:#EEEEEE; border:1px solid #DEDEDE; color:#000000; min-width:200px; padding:15px 20px 5px; margin:3px; } /*** Right Side content ***/ #RightCon { float:right; width:15%; background-color:#EEEEEE; border:1px solid #DEDEDE; color:#000000; padding:15px 20px 5px; min-width:200px; margin:3px; } Thanks I have a page with content on the left and a menu with "latest" news sitting directly under it. When the pages get longer, when you scroll down there is whitespace there. So I want the "latest news" section to follow the page, however, when I set the position to fixed the news overlaps the menu.. only to be made worse by the fact that I use jquery's accordion plug-in. I'm a new member so I can't directly post a link..but freezerburned dot org /tikigaq.com/old.php I'm out of ideas. Thanks for the help. 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 http://tonglebeak.com View it in FF, and the floating boxes correctly appear on top of the white div underneath of it. 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? The image below is how I want my website to look (div-wise, that is). 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!
