CSS - Spacing Divs Evenly
Using tables, I can evenly space the cells apart. For instance:
Code: <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<th align="center"> qwerty1 </td>
<th align="center"> qwerty2 </td>
<th align="center"> qwerty3 </td>
</tr>
</table>
There's nothing terribly wrong with this - it works! But I'm trying to switch to using CSS whereever possible. How would you achieve the same effect using stylesheets? Similar TutorialsAlright, here's the situtation: Imagine a bunch of random DIVs... let's say a hundred. These DIVs come in three different widths, but their heights are entirely variable. Now, let's give these DIVs margins of 5px each. I want all of the DIVs to show up, in their respective dimensions, in order as much as possible... but I want them all 10px apart from all sides... including top and bottom. How would I achieve this effect? I tried floats, but that doesn't quite work for EDIT* - vertical spacing in all cases. Basically, if a smaller DIV can fit in an empty space, I want it to go there, so everything--despite the randomness--is uniformly spaced. Is this possible using CSS? Maybe with Javascript? Hi folks, I hope this is achieveable ... I have tried numerous ways of floating and whatnot, here is what i want: I want to have one container, having 3 divs inside. of these 3 divs the left and the right one are fluid, the center one is an image with a fixed width. looking like this: Code: ________________________ l l l fluid fix fluid l ________________________ restrictions: i do not want to use positioning at all. best would be, if it is all achieved with float and margins, looking good in IE and FF .... i have a page up, that will show you my design .... note, that only the box containing the image is the problem part on that page (some of you will recognize this i believe) the names of the classes are textboxleft, textboxright and id big_logo thanx! i want to redesign the page i have to only be displayed with floats and margins and no more positioning .... IE strikes again! My problem is that in ie there seems to be a space in between the main header images and the navigation. In firefox it works great. Any ideas where I might be going wrong? You can see what I mean he html: http://www.kenjones.co.za/norman/ css: http://www.kenjones.co.za/norman/styles/screen.css And it should look like this: http://www.kenjones.co.za/norman/images/norm2.jpg I haven't tried this before, so if I'm way off beat, I'll take directions. What I'm trying to do is take a psd file and make a webpage from it. So far, I think I've got the images cut correctly. I tried using divs to begin with, but found I had to apply position:relative to compensate for extra spacing coming after images and divs. I'm placing an image then a div then an image. The spacing between the two are different. I've tried padding:0 and margin:0 just about everywhere I could think of putting it, but that didn't fix it. So, I used RP. But, after getting it to look right in Safari, but not Firefox [just checked before posting here], I found that making the text bigger caused the divs and images to overlap. So, I thought about tables. Yeah, same thing, so I figure I must not know something pretty basic and was wondering if anyone could help. Both pairs of files validate. Here are the links for the: div based layout and it's css file AND table based layout and it's css file Just in case this looks absolutley nuts on other browsers, here is a picture of where I'm trying to get to. I'm feeling a little tortured over this one What is the best way to evenly space these links inside the div? PHP Code: <div id="contain_header"> <div id="header"> <a href="index.php" class="nav">Homepage</a> <a href="manufacturers.php" class="nav">Manufacturers</a> <a href="contact.php" class="nav">Contact Us</a> <a href="carfinder.php" class="nav">Advanced Car Search</a> <a href="specialoffers.php" class="nav">Special Offers</a> <a href="faq.php" class="nav">FAQ's</a></div> </div> I have a menu within my content thus: Code: div class="contentMenu"> <ul> <li> <a href="#" title="Find out more"><img src="images/stories/memories/FamilyLife/thumb/familyFWHarveysBuildingsDorchester.jpg" alt="" /> <span>Family life</span></a> </li> . . . <li> <a href="#" title="Find out more"><img src="images/stories/memories/SightsAndSounds/thumb/sightsMOOsmington1963.jpg" alt="" /> <span>Sights/Sounds</span></a> </li> </ul> </div> I want the menu items not to spill onto the next line when I shrink the browser. I have tried overflow:hidden; but does not stop the last one taking up a new "line". There are 7 menu items across the page. The CSS so far is: Code: .contentMenu {
background-color:#FFFFCC;
border:1px solid #B9C0F7;
margin-bottom:6px;
padding:8px 0 5px;
}
#main .contentMenu ul, #main2 .contentMenu ul {
margin:0 auto;
overflow:hidden;
width:95%;
}
#main ul, #main2 ul {
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:square;
margin:0 0 0 20px;
padding:10px 0;
}
#main ul li, #main2 ul li {
margin:0;
padding:0 0 0 10px;
}
.contentMenu li {
float:left;
list-style-image:none;
list-style-position:outside;
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
text-align:center;
width:15%;
}
.contentMenu a {
padding-top:4px;
text-decoration:none;
}
.contentMenu img {
border:medium none;
height:62px;
width:55px;
}
Of course the meni images need to be evenly spaced across the page. Would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. Hi, I am using nested tables in order to create a recursive tree-like effect. I got it to look how I want on IE 8, and it looks almost identical in Firefox. However, Chrome is not distributing table rows evenly. It seems to make the first row in a table a minimum size, and then the second row a maximum size. I'm looking for some css property that will help this to work across all three browsers, and I'm also open to another way of doing this - (instead of nested tables) - but I did spend weeks getting it to look this way before I decided I wanted to try tackling Chrome, and have been unable to figure it out. Here is a simple example that clearly demonstrates what I'm trying to get working on Chrome. (as a new user I can't post a url to the working page I have up on the internet) Code:

Thanks for any help you can provide! Hello! Im Using Joomla to build my website. Im using a module and im changing the css styling. There only one problem im having. The tabs on the module align to the left and because i dnt have enough tabs to fill out the space it leave a blank space on the right. I just want to know how to edit the CSS to make the taps justify / spread out evenly. The makers of the module say any question on customization will be ignored that why i post this question here to see if i could get some help. Its "Tabs Manager GK3" from Gavick Heres the CSS.

Ok, so I've learned to stay away from tables when you don't need them, and I have an instance where this is the case. I have a container div that has a header, content and a footer. On my home page, I have to divs next to each other with the same height and a div below them towards the right. To simplify my problem, look at this example. Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
If there's a "float:right" on that div, the hr tag below doesn't get pushed down. But if I use relative positioning and don't use the floats, I can't put the two top divs next to each other. The other option is to use absolute positioning, but again content below doesn't get pushed down correctly. It seems that using "clear:both" works, but it seems weird that this has to be done. For example if I have floating divs in a container, I can get them to stretch out the container like so: Code:
<html>
<body>
<div style="border: 1px solid #000; ">
<div style="float:right">
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
Hello there!<br />
</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Am I missing something fundamental here? Is there a better solution? Thanks in advance. Here's the site in Question: http://www.winchps.vic.edu.au It's a standard fixed width floated DIV columns with a wrapper. One thing it does have is a second DIV inside both columns to display the Gradient background over the top of the repeated background. It works perfect in Firefox & IE7 (with a tweak) but IE6 mkes the sidebar nested div drop below the original sidebar DIV click here for a screenshot for those lucky enough not to have IE6. Here's the CSS code for the basic layout: Code:
body {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: center;
margin: 0px 0px 60px 0px;
padding:0px;
border: 0;
line-height: 2;
}
#header {
width: 802px;
}
#wrapper {
width: 802px;
margin:0px;
padding: 0px;
text-align: left;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(images/bodybg.jpg) center repeat-y;
}
#content {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#maingrad {
background: url(images/winchcontentgrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px;
}
#main {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
#mainstop {
width: 589px;
float: right;
background: url(images/winchcontentbg.jpg) repeat;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
border-bottom: solid 1px #000;
font-size: 10px;
}
#sidebargrad {
background: url(images/winchsidebargrad.jpg) top left repeat-x;
padding: 10px 5px 0px 10px;
}
#sidebar {
width: 200px;
float: left;
background: url(images/winchsidebg.jpg) repeat;
line-height: 2;
font-size: 14px;
border-left: solid 1px #000;
border-right: solid 1px #000;
}
I obviously need to put a conditional comment in there, same for what I did for the minor IE7 tweak, but I'm struggling to suss out what's causing it, I haven't found the specific issue on any of the regular sites (PIE etc). Anyone got any ideas? Centering DIVs inside other DIVs in Firefox? Can it be done in a straight forward way? Setting the inner DIVs float to none seemed to work for IE but not FF. The Example I've read a bunch about how div's won't stretch to accomidate div's inside of them if they overrun the height/min-height set for the container div. How do I get around this? You can see the skeleton of the site above. It's fine unless you resize the window smaller than the content. Alright, I've been working on my own custom border box for a while and I've almost got it, but it has a few problems still. How I do it is I have one div that contains it all (.box) that defines the height and width of the whole box. Then I have three boxRows to lay out the images, and then I define how three cells in each of those rows should behave, very much like how custom borders used to be done with tables. Here are the problems: In both firefox and internet explorer, the bottom row and the far right column actually appear OUTSIDE the .box containing box. There are two additional problems in internet explorer. First, the middle row handles the auto height differently and only expands about 10px instead of the height of the containing box. The second is that the whole middle row for some reason appears to be pushed to the right by about 16px. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the code: HTML: Code: <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="reset.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="testBox.css"> </head> <body> <div class="box"> <div class="boxRowTop"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowMiddle"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> <div class="boxRowBottom"> <div class="boxCellLeft"></div> <div class="boxCellMiddle"></div> <div class="boxCellRight"></div> </div> </body> </html> And here is the layout css file: Code: /* Box classes */
.box {
background: rgb(120,120,120);
height: 200px;
width: 500px;
}
.boxRowTop {
height: 16px;
position: relative;
width:%100;
}
.boxRowMiddle {
height: auto;
width:%100;
position: relative;
}
.boxRowBottom {
height: 16px;
width:%100;
position: relative;
}
.boxCellLeft {
height: 100%;
left: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
}
.boxCellMiddle {
height: 100%;
margin-left: 16px;
margin-right: 16px;
width: auto;
}
.boxCellRight {
height: 100%;
left: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 16px;
}
/* Define Cell Backgrounds/Images */
.boxRowTop .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/topleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowTop .boxCellMiddle {
background: url(../LandingImages/top_border.png) repeat-x;
}
.boxRowTop .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/topright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/left_border.png) repeat-y;
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellMiddle {
background: rgb(255,255,255);
}
.boxRowMiddle .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/right_border.png) repeat-y;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellLeft {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottomleft_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellMiddle {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottom_border.png) repeat-x;
}
.boxRowBottom .boxCellRight {
background: url(../LandingImages/bottomright_circ_corner.png) no-repeat;
}
And last, the reset CSS, which I don't think has anything to do with the problems because if I take it out it still has them. Code: html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre,
a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp,
small, strike, strong, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li,
fieldset, form, label, legend, caption

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, as I've been working on this for a while! Thanks! I have a drop down menu that works great in Chrome but in IE 9 I am getting spaces between my images for my navigation bar. My HTML is as follows...

Does anyone see what I am doing wrong here? Thanks for taking the time to read my question. The contents in my .ContentContainer are positioned differently in IE6 and FF. I want them to look like FF. What is wrong with my CSS that makes IE6 have more space on the left side of the green globe than FF? My goal is to have the 2 blue vertical lines line up. They line up in FF and IE7, but not in IE6. www.scopicdesigns.com/ZoneAll/index.htm Thanks, Brad Hi there, we have created the following list menu and we want to reduce the space between the left hand page margin, and the disc, at the 1st part of the text closer. Example: This is what we see now. | Text Here Example: This is what we would like to see. | Text Here Any suggestions? ul a, li a{ margin:0; padding:0; } Hi Guys I am having trouble trying to work out a bug that is creating a space between two div containers. To see what i mean click here for web page the css can be viewed here in firefox the two containers appear correctly but in internet explorer there is a 10px space between them. Could it have something to do with the background images? The div containing the login form also drops down in ie and i am convinced this is related to the main problem i am facing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is. Any help would be much appreciated! Hello All, I wanted to ask a question. I'm having trouble with spacing between two divs. Here's the site I'm working on: johnraymondonline.com/mjbfoundation/ The problem is that I'm trying to put a 20pixel margin between the bottom footer div (that contains "test test") and the div just above it. I'm not having much luck at all. I've done a clear and also have checked the divs several times to see if I've missed any. I've even put a div between with some height and that doesn't work. I'm not sure if one of the div's above it has a fixed height. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! This is starting to bug me this problem, but on my site www.readinginfo.co.uk the background image (inner shadow and small gradient) at the top is playing up. It doesn't seem to want to align all the way over to the left, however as is always the way, it is working in firefox, ie7, 8 and safari. I've tried some of the ie6 fixes mentioned but I have the sneakiest of feelings that it is to do with the form element (the search box), positioning absolutely just bumps it over to the side. Thanks in advance for any reply!! |
