CSS - Clear:left ...inserts Big Gap
Hi
i am trying to display small divs next to each other on one row, when i put clear left on the div that i want on the left, so that it puts it on the next line, the 3 divs then jump right down the page, putting a massive gap between this and the content above, is there a way to stop this happening? the code i have is html Code: <div id="arrow1">arrow1</div> <div id="arrow2">arrow2</div> <div id="arrow3">arrow3</div> Code: #arrow1 {
background-image:url(images/arrow.gif) ;
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:176px;
height:96px;
float:left;
display:inline;
clear:left;
}
#arrow2 {
background-image:url(images/arrow.gif) ;
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:176px;
height:96px;
float:left;
display:inline;
}
#arrow3 {
background-image:url(images/arrow.gif) ;
background-position:top left;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width:176px;
height:96px;
float:left;
display:inline;
}
Similar TutorialsI've been unable to replicate this issue in IE, but it's plaguing all other "free" browsers I use (Firefox, Galeon, etc.). Take a look at http://www.skudd.com/blog/view/1370 for example. The bar on the left is floated left, as are the label elements in my comment form. In the li of each form item, I have a br with the clear property set to "left". What I'm trying to accomplish is I want to clear the previous label, so as to prevent the "stair step" effect. Why would "clear: left;" in this case cause the element to clear everything that has been floated left? What should I try in place of it? OK, so I have this nice clean form that I wanted to style up like the table-forms of old. I did it by floating the labels and form elements left, then clearing the labels left so they use their own lines. This works beautifully in Firefox and Safari, but IE (Win, at least) seems to think everything not cleared left should go on the same line! Is this a known IE bug/discrepancy? If so, is there a way to combat it without introducing meaningless elements to the markup (such as encasing each label/element pair in a div)? Here's some example HTML: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> @import url("style.css"); </style> </head> <body> <form name="form" action="test.php" method="post"> <label for="name">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="name" /> <label for="thoughts">Your Thoughts:</label> <textarea name="thoughts"></textarea> <label for="fun">Having fun?</label> <input type="checkbox" name="fun" value="yes" /> </form> </body> </html>
And the CSS: css Code: Original - css Code label { display: block; float: left; clear: left; width: 8em; margin-right: .5em; text-align: right; } input, textarea { display: block; float: left; }
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;
}

padding : 0px;
}

}
.image3 {

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 \*/

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? Hi, Creating a Wordpress theme. I need help to clear:left JPG thumbnails in my 2nd-column div, but WITHOUT clearing the 1st-column div that is floated:left. In other words, I want these two columns to work independently, just like <TD> in html. Here is my setup -- it is a 2-column layout, with the left column being a navigational sidebar (navigation content automatically generated by wordpress), and the Right Column is the "real content" div. Wordpress generates the content in the right column, also. And since Wordpress generates the content based upon what the reader selects, I cannot assign any HEIGHT attributes to the Divs, because I do not know whether the selections have a lot of content, or very little. ----------------- HEADER DIV------------------------------------------ -- Sidebar Div-- __________ --- RIGHT DIV (not floated) ----------------- FOOTER DIV ---------------------------------------- (property of footer is set to clear:both) SIDEBAR DIV is float:left; width 160px RIGHT DIV is not floated, and contains all the content. 600px; Problem I need to solve: In column #2 -- the right div, I want to float-left small thumbnail jpgs, and write text flowing along the right side of the thumbnail. If the text does not naturally drop below the jpg, I want to clear:left to drop down to a new line and start the process over (new thumbnail, new text beside it). *** The problem is that when I clear:left on the jpg, it NOT ONLY clears the JPG, but also clears:left on the whole Sidebar DIV, thereby dropping the next line WAY DOWN on the page. So it looks like this: ___ HEADER ____ Sidebar __________________ Thumbnail #1: Text text text (clear:left clears everything....) __________________________ Thumbnail #2: Text ---- FOOTER --- Attempted solution: If I set the sidebar div to position:absolute, it works ok EXCEPT (and big except) that if there is not much content in the RIGHT DIV, then the FOOTER DIV is not low enough on the page, thereby overlapping the Sidebar Div. Obviously, this whole design could be EASILY accomplished with TABLES, but those are blasphemy these days, so I would like a more "modern" solution. I have googled this all day, and have not seen a solution. Help is appreciated. Hi all, I've got an item like this: <div (holder)> <div (image) style="float: left;">image</div> text here <div style="clear: left;"> </div> </div> But the trouble is that In the layout, I've got the menu floated left, too, and that 'clear: left;' seems to be clearing the left menu as well... Why? Cheers I've got different CSS layout problems concerning the redesign of a website which will be dedicated to an online shop selling items for online roleplaying games. The redesigned website is planned to be set up in valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Though it at first validated unter Strict, too, I've chosen this doctype because the content (main text, items etc.) is generated automatically by a content management system (CMS: OScommerce) and pasted into the XHTML template I did. This PHP generated code seems to contain presentational markup such as layout tables. For I am not allowed to change the PHP-Scripts I thought Transitional would fit the best. You can reach my original template he URL (URI of the CSS file: URL) The problem now is, while beeing viewed in IE6/Win and Mozilla Firefox, the template of mine shows no mistakes concerning these browser's rendering output. After inserting the HTML code of the CMS generated content IE6 inserts about 300 pixel space between a sample table and the rest of the content. Firefox doesn't show this behaviour. An demonstration of the final HTML containing the CMS output is available he URL (URI of the CSS file: same as above) As for a second, someone also sent me a screenshot he made while displaying the first of both sites in a newer Opera Browser. The layout wasn't displayed as I wanted it to do, too (spaces between or at the top of the graphics on the left caused the layout to break). I suppose the second website shows the same behaviour, I wasn't allowed to check it, yet. I checked out different css relating websites and tried a lot, but didn't found any resolution to these problems. Would anyone help me, please? I'd be glad about responses and/or helpful css snippets! With regards, Andreas Kwiatkowski Hello, I have two columns, one is on the left and another in the middle (center). Left column is where I want it to be, central column is also aligned properly, however, it is below left column. I want it to be on the same level as left. See here see how it got below ? It is XHTML validated and CSS is fine too (some background color warnings). Plz help me to make central column go up. Thanks. I always seem to run into this problem and somehow get it fixed but this time I am stuck. I have a main wrapper and 2 footers that line up together and are all floated to the left.

And have two questions. First, why the gap between the left div and mainDiv in IE? I thought 3px bug was only for block elements with no dimensions? Second, why does padding left not take effect in FF untill I have overcome the width of the float? Even padding-left in the para does not take effect, which should be based off of its parent. Any help is appriciated, CJB I have a site with a bunch of floats. It looks something like this: [HTML]<div id="nav" style="float: left"> </div> <div id="content"> <div style="float: left"> </div> <div style="float: right"> </div> <br style="clear: both" </div>[/HTML] Now that clear:both also clears #nav instead of the two divs in #content. Is there any way to fix this so it doesn't clear #nav? Hello, The divs numbered #4(extra2) and #5(navigation2) cannot give way to other divs . How can I clear the other divs?

Thanks!... I've got a div that incorporates some inline styling. Looks fine on a blank page, but when I insert it into a more complex page it inherits all the styling of the stylesheets. Is there anyway to I can have this div ignore all inherited styling and just format itself according to browser defaults and its own inline styling? I'm using float:left for my left nav bar, and then clear:both for my footer. Trouble is, I need to use some content boxes that will be using floats and then clears, however, when I use clear:both in my content box, it clears EVERYTHING (meaning it pushes below my navbar, because the navbar is quite long). Is there a workaround or am I using floats/clear wrong? TIA Javashackgirl Hello, Consider the following design: <div id="container"> <div id="A" class="A"></div> <div id="B" class="B"></div> </div> And the CSS classes: .A {float:left; clear:left} .B {float:left; clear:right} This does not work well. So I always do as follow: <div id="container"> <div id="A" class="A"></div> <div id="B" class="B"></div> <div id="clear" class="clear"></div> </div> Whe .A {clear:both} This always happens when I have divs inside other divs. Does anyone knows how to solve this? Thanks, Miguel I'm trying to get a container div to stretch to the size of it's contents. Note, #navigation and #title will be for aesthetics only and aren't being used yet. Am I wrong in thinking that the clear has to go in the containing div, not the component divs? Anyway, I've tried both and neither works.

<body>
<div id="title">
<!-- title -->
</div>
<div id="navigation">
<!-- search -->
<!-- jumpbox -->
<!-- subscription_and_rss_images -->
</div>
<div style="border:3px solid red; clear:both">
<div class="leftcolumn" style="border:3px solid green;">
<!-- menu --> <!-- leave this tag in for menu in Admin CP -->
<!-- referrers -->
<!-- photo -->
<!-- calendar -->
<!-- baby -->
</div>
<div class="rightcolumn" style="border:3px solid blue;">
<!-- content -->
</div>
</div>
<div style="border:3px solid yellow;">
<!-- credit -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
And CSS: Code: div.leftcolumn{
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
div.rightcolumn{
position: relative;
margin-left: 205px;
padding-left: 5px;
border-left: 1px solid #222222;
}
This produces: Hello, I have used the containment hack in several of my projects. However I found examples where they use "<div style="clear:both"></div>". The result is the same. So which one should I use? I have some simple code that works in all recent browsers, including IE8+. But with some people out there still using IE7, for which it does something odd, and I've been asked to make it work with that as well. I've dumbed it down to it's basics, and it's just easiest to see with a visual. http://www.poweredpages.com/test.php I have four boxes, labeled 1 through 4. It's supposed to wrap at 3, with 4 to the right of that box. In IE7, It wraps at 3 (correctly, because of the clear), but then box 4, which has a float:left after the cleared 3 box, jumps back up to the 1 and 2 row. Any thoughts on how do get this working with the least amount of editing would be appreciated. In real life, I have the left boxes as a class "label" and the right boxes as another class "input", so if I could just add something to one of these classes and be done w/ it, that would be great. Of course, I could put another entire DIV around each row to fix this, but that would require altering a whole bunch of code. Thanks!
