CSS - Aligning Blocks At The Bottom Of A Containing Block
Hi,
I'm having a problem which I though should be fairly simple, but I've been hacking at it for many hours now. I want to align blocks horizontally at the bottom of a containing block. The containing block has a fixed height while the contained block do not. Here's a mockup of what I want: URL How should I modify the following code so that it renders like the above? Code: <div style="height:50px">
<div style="float:left">one</div>
<div style="float:left">two</div>
</div>
Thanks! Similar Tutorialsi have a page where i float a block of text to the right. at the bottom of that text, there is a graphic that creates a footer for that block. in ie, it looks fine. but in firefox it's got 12px of space below the text (as opposed to ABOVE the graphic.) because it looks incorrect in ff and ok in ie, my hunch is that i've done something wrong - since ff is so much more reliable than ie. two last things. when i place a 1px border at the bottom of the text, the bottom margin disappears. but if i use a 0px border, the space remains. also, if i remove the <p> tags from within the text, the problem resolves itself. i do not address p formatting within the css document. this is my html: Code: <div id=outerwrapper> <div class=sidebar> <div id=sidebartext style="background: #acba6e url(images/sidebarbg.gif) 0px 0px repeat-y;"> <img src="images/image1.jpg" align=right> Some text. <p> <em>Some text</em> </div> <div class=sidebarbottom> <img src="images/image2.png"> </div> </div> <div class="maincontent"> <h1 style="text-align: right; line-height:120%; border-right: 30px solid #ffffff;">Some text</h1> More text <p> 123 Main Street, Your City, USA 512.555.1212 </div> </div> and this is my css: Code: html, body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0;
font-family: "arial";
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 210%;
color: #847c69;
letter-spacing: .05em;
}
body {
text-align: center;
}
#outerwrapper {
position: relative;
top: 192px;
left: 0px;
margin-left: 45px;
margin-right: 45px;
display: block;
overflow: visible;
zoom: 1;
z-index: 1;
}
.sidebar {
margin-right: -27px;
float: right;
width: 305px;
display: block;
z-index: 1;
}
#sidebartext {
width: 265px;
padding: 0px 20px 0 20px;
font-family: "arial";
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 130%;
color: #ffffff;
text-align: left;
letter-spacing: .05em;
z-index: 1;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.sidebarbottom {
margin-top: 0;
width: 305px;
z-index: 1;
}
.maincontent {
padding: 10px 30px 30px 30px;
background: #ffffff;
text-align: left;
border-right: solid 1px #666688;
border-bottom: solid 1px #666688;
z-index: 1;

i would appreciate any help you can provide. this has stolen hours from my day. I'd like to have a container, a row, really. And I'd like text aligned to the top of the div, and then some more text aligned to the bottom of the div, like this: ------------------------------------------ Top text Bottom text ------------------------------------------ The thing is, I can't use tables, so if someone knows how to accomplish in a completely tableless way, I'd appreciate it! I did try the following, but it didn't work: Code:
.mainDiv{
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 150px;
}
.mainDiv .upper {
top: 0;
position: absolute;
}
.mainDiv .lower {
bottom: 0;
position: absolute;
}
hey all, here's my test page http://www.pyesnflpool.com/ at the top... Im trying to get the two links (Register & Recover Your Password) to be beside the arrows and Email Pye beside the mail image it is running off two scripts, one for the links (snippetSideLine)and the other is holding together the header (elementTopPage) As you can see on side-b I was making some effort to align them to the bottom with no success, my thoughts were to align to the bottom and than do a padding-bottom: 15px; or whatever, because I tried padding-top:120px to side-a which put the links in the right spot but left the rest of the page all over the place any help is much appreciated, thanks Code:

Hello, Let's say this... I have an element that has a height of 600px. I have an element inside of that element that I want aligned to the very bottom. How could I accomplish this feat? So I'm still on my quest to be able to create my 1st entirely CSS site, and need some help as I'm not sure how to do this. I want to be able to align a navigation list at the bottom right of the content area. Also while I'm at it, I want the site to be at a minimum 462px (just an example), but would like for it to increase in height if the content itself expands beyond the 462. And the navigation menu, I'd like to somehow keep at the bottom right of the viewable area. Thanks... here's the code...

Is there a way to align something from the bottom of the page? I seem to have messed up while slicing...If my font size is too large, it'll mess up my table positioning...I'd like to know if there's any way to align text to the bottom of a table collumn? Is there anything I can put in my style sheet to do this? Am I not being clear enough? Please help. EDIT : I've got a picture uploaded. See how on the left there's that white space? And under "Welcome" there's also a lot of space? I figure if I could align the text to the bottom, it'd fix both problems. =/ I have decided to move another of my sites over to css, but I seem to be stuck at the first problem. I have added a small code sample... What I am wanting to do is remove the table and acheive the same result with css and div tags. How can I align text to the bottom right with css like the sample code? PHP Code: <!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" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <title>Text aligned bottom right</title> </head> <body> <table border=0 height="90px" width="100%"> <tr><td style="vertical-align: bottom;background:white;text-align:right;"> <a href="">Home</a> | <a href="">About</a> | <a href="" >Contact</a> </td></tr></table> </body> </html> Ok, so I just used Pagination for the first time (Yay). I'm creating a make shift shopping cart, and was trying to align "Add to Cart" to show at the bottom of the product listing. Right now, the products show 5 per row, and the format is: image of item item name price Then there is some padding and I want the submit button to appear at the very bottom of the div (within the a href if possible). I have the a href set as display:block, so when hovered over, the area is gray. I want the submit button to be within that area. I have tried with several variations (I did move the </a> to after the </form> line: - Placed the <form> lines within a separate div and tried aligning it to the bottom using margin-bottom - Tried styling the <input> using margin-bottom as well. My knowledge of divs isn't really that good as I never really used them much before, so I'm sure it's something simple enough. Right now when I do place it in the <a href></a> area, the Add to Cart button shows up right under the item_name... so it's staggered as item names may take up 1, 2, or 3 lines. And keeping it under the link area makes the button too far down. If you need further info, let me know. Here's the code to pulling the info from the products table: Code:
$query = "SELECT `id`, `image`, `item_name`, `msrp` FROM products $limit";
$result = mysql_query($query, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
$i == 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
extract($row);
$i ++;
$image_loc = "images/products/" . $image;
$j = $i/5;
$display .= "<div id=\"store\"><a href=\"view_item.php?id= ".$id."\"><img src=\"".$image_loc . "\" style=\"width:100px; padding-bottom:5px;\"><br />" . $item_name . "</a>";
if ($logged_in != 'false') {
$display .= "<form action=\"add_cart.php\" method=\"post\">";
$display .= "<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"".$id."\">";
$display .= "<input style=\"margin-left:20px;\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Add to Cart\">";
$display .= "</form>";
$display .= "</div>";
}
if (is_int($j)) {
$display .= "<div style=\"clear:both;\"></div>";
} else {
}
}
Here's the CSS: Code:
#store {width:150px;
float:left;
padding-bottom:30px;
padding-left:15px;
padding-right:15px;
}
#store a{display:block;
text-decoration:none;
padding:10px;
height:200px;
}
#store img{border:0;
}
#store a:hover{background:#ccc;}
The problem that I am having stems from attempted compatability for 1. IE/other browsers, and 2. Not scrolling or having an absurd amount of dead space on different resolutions. Given that I'm currently using a 16:9 laptop, anything that I make for my resolution is very likely to scroll vertically on anything else. I would like to preface this by saying that, while I am a young person and am .. relatively web savvy, I'm also pretty miserable at CSS. I'll pick it up whenever I need to use it, but these times generally end up being a year plus apart, and so I generally .. forget everything that I picked up the last time, and have to re-learn. I am very good at nesting tables, and using an absurd number of them to get things to look how I want, but .. I really want to get away from that. CSS is cleaner and less .. well, less flat out dumb than using seven tables in one page to align things the way you want them? The Actual Problem I Have: (Do ignore the hideously coloured background, the green/blue combo is temporary until I get the code working properly. Anyway, so apparently I can't post URLs so: clocktock.com is the website in question, code on it is Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="poing.css"> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="img/RL16.png"/> <title>[ eroding.net ]</title></head> <body> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" class="main" height="100%" width="100%" valign="bottom"><tr><td width=100% align=center valign="bottom"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="90%"> <tr><td background="img/top_left.png" width=14 height=39></td> <td background="img/top.png" width=622 height=39><img src="img/top_left2.png" border=0></td> <td background="img/top_right.png" width=14 height=39></tr></td> <tr><td background="img/left.png" width=14 height=1></td> <td bgcolor="black" width="700" height="800" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 background="img/table_bg_grunge.png" valign="top"> <br><br> <center> aaa <br><br> </center> </td><td background="img/right.png" width=14></tr></td></table> </tr></td></table> </body></html> CSS Code: body { font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal;

What I would, ideally, like to have is for the box to take a percentage of space. Say, vertically 80 or 90%, and then a blank remainder on the top. Horizontally, say, 10 or 15% on either side and then 70 or 80% for the "box." But, google as I might, I just can't find the right CSS commands to do it. It just gets funny looking and shrinks all my border images (Though I erased the code that caused that). Please view: http://www.archanix.com/aib/about/ Notice the red square aib logo towards the bottom of the page. I have been successful in aligning the image to the bottom of the div. But because I'm using position:relative; bottom:72px; it pushes my footer down farther than I want. Any way i can get around that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jesse Hi, I'm a bit confused with the relative/absolute positioning issue. I thought that relative would carry the normal flow of things, but as you can see with the code below, all of the DIV items that should follow each other are overlapping even though positioning is set to relative. Can anyone help me out as to what I am doing wrong?

I have a multi-column layout. The "main" column has text within <p> tags defined thusly:
Code: #main p {
font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1.7em;
padding:0 10px;
}
Within that main columns are some <div> blocks that are arranged in a row at a certain place, define like this: Code: .mid_nav {
float:left;
width:110px;
margin:0px 10px 8px;
background:url("./images/pic_nav_bg.gif");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
I would like to define different qualities to the <p> tags within these <div> blocks, but the original #main p definitions seem to over-ride whatever I try. Incidently, the reason I've defined the font-size in pixels is I need uniformity between IE and FF. Any suggestions? Code: a {
display:blocks;
width:100px;
height:20px;
border:1px solid #000000;
background:#CCCCCC;
}
This code works great in Internet Explorer, but Firefox doesn't seem to like the width and height settings. Does anyone know a way to do this in firefox? Thanks in advance! I am creating a top nav with links that are turned into floated blocks. I have 2 issues that I can't seem to figure out. 1. How do I keep the elements from wrapping? 2. How do I make the set of floated items centered? Here is what I have so far (see code below). Because the items are floated to the left, they stay anchored to left and aren't centered. I tried giving the nav div a width. That did allow it to be centered, but I don't know what the exact width of the combined link blocks would be, so if it is too short, it wraps, and if it is too wide it doesn't center evenly. Code:
#nav{
text-align:center;
padding-top:24px;
}
#nav a{
display:block;
float:left;
padding:13px;
text-transform:uppercase;
color:#9BA047;
background:#FFF;
line-height:1em;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:bold;
}
#nav a:hover{
color:#85231C;
}
#nav a#logo{
float:left;
padding:0px;
}

I am using "Stylin' With CSS" book to learn how to do my website layout and I need to put some images on my website. I just need something simple... I have an image showing what I am trying to do but I can't post the url.... I basically just need to create a horizontal row of n images, n being 1 to 5. The images are very close in dimensions, but not exactly the same. How can I do this... Thanks, CD Hello. My first post at this section I'm trying to familiarize with all the positioning properties in CSS but got stuck when trying to migrate the table at the bottom of this code, to div blocks: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head></head>
<style>
body
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 90%;
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #FFF;
color: #000;
}
table, div {
padding: 15px;
margin: 0;
background-color: #464646;
height: 30px;
width: 100%;
}
tr, div div {
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 18px;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
<body>
<table class="top"><tr><td>Product Name</td><td align="right">Company Name</td></tr></table>
</body>
</html>
I tried wrapping two <span> inside a <div> and float the second <span> to the right, but from what I read so far, floating is not the solution because it sets the element as a block even if it's inline. Although it works using plain old tables - btw why is IE rendering a somewhat different page then FF? - and I should follow the KISS rule I want to learn how can I make this work. Thank you a lot! hi, im not sure if im posting in the right page but after viewing the page source, i think its the best way to post it right here i just want to know what should i learn to make such beautiful block/tables whatever call it just like at kathymarks dot com? any suggestion what should i learn from? links? thanks! on the side note, how about the tables/blocks on deviant art? thanks for the replies! |
