CSS - Float Inside A Div Next To A Floated Div
sure i read an article on this somewhere but cant remember where, the problem is this
Code: <div class="floated and cleared right"> stuff </div> <div class="fixed width" > <img class="floated left"> lots of text <div> related to my previous layout post. the problem is that the img (infact any floated element, cleared or not) falls below the right floated div! (red box in attatched gif) if i float and clear the first div left then the img is in the correct place within it but the div itseld drops below the right floated div help! Similar TutorialsHey, Why does this look different in IE and in Firefox? Code: <html><body> <div style="float:left;border:3px solid green;">Left div</div> <div style="width:200px;border:8px solid black;">Right div</div> </bodY></html> In FF, the right div's border starts at the same place as the left div's border. In IE, the right div's border starts to the right of the left div. Thanks in advance... Hi, I'm trying to redesign my website to be CSS and XHTML compliant. While I've managed it and everything is almost perfect, IE has one very minor glitch. The page is http://hiveworldterra.ibboard.co.uk/HWTv2.html My 3-col design is based on (and modified from) a 3 col layout I found on the net (there is a credit in the CSS of the page).IE displays everything perfectly and even resizes horizontally without a problem, but as soon as you try to resize vertically, the left column will often overlay the center column. Refreshing the page without resizing the window fixes it and resizing the page horizontally fixes it. As per usual, Firefox is perfectly fine, no matter how you resize the page (until you get down to rediculously small, at which point its to be expected!) It doesn't seem to be a width issue, as I've got a 1280x1024 monitor at work and at full width on one monitor or down at 500px wide there are only a handful of vertical sizes where the left column doesn't overlap, but every time it does overlap then if you resize horizontally by a single pixel then it fixes itself. Anyone have any ideas or IE only hacks (preferably neat ones!) to stop this minorly annoying behaviour? From problems I had while modifying the original layout, it almost seems as if IE is losing the float on the left column. Thanks hi my page involves having a form element inside of a div. the div is floated left. relevant (seemingly) css from my stylesheet & html code (all simplified for readability) form { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } .mydiv { float: left; } html looks vaguely like: <div class="mydiv"><form name="blah" action="blahblah"> .... all form controls </form></div> PROBLEM!!!! in mozilla, none of the form elements display. in ie, everything displays as expected. PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE I GO INSANE AND START KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE. thanks in advance. d Iv got my boxes sorted!!! but im quite newbie to CSS layout and stuff... so i want to put two boxes in side my container box side by side. i decided to use float... but they float outside my container box, which i suppose is what they are supposed to do. This is what im trying to achieve. Code: ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------- --------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Float Left | | Float right | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | --------------------- --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- Ok so either I'm tired and not thinking straight or I'm going crazy... Never had this problem before... The top wrapper has a gap below it in IE6 so it's not flush with the middle wrapper... Any ideas... See my source code below... Thanks for the help.

I'm creating a navbar using ul lists with items as images, and want to center it. I'm using the blueprint css framework, and the list items contains images instead of text. Here's the HTML code : Code: <body> <div class="container"> <div id="header" class="span-24"> <div id="header_wrapper"> <ul> <li><img src="images/nav_03.png" /></li> <li class="selected"><a href="#"><img src="images/nav_04.png" /></a></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="images/nav_05.png" /></a></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="images/nav_06.png" /></a></li> <li><a href="#"><img src="images/nav_07.png" /></a></li> <li><img src="images/nav_08.png" /></li> </ul> </div> </div><!--End Header--> </div> </body> Here's the CSS code : Code: #header{ padding-top:53px; border:#F00 solid 1px } #header_wrapper ul { text-align: center; } #header_wrapper ul li { display: inline; } I tried many code configurations but can't get it to work! a live preview is available here 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? I tried to use height:auto, and put it into the main container, then I put it in the div that is floated. Nothing works in firefox for me. Ive tried searching on google but I cant find anything that works. Basically, its not just an issue with floats, in general, what is the correct way to set divs, to auto expand to cover what is inside and that works in IE, Firefox and safari, is there a way to ? Thanks in advanced. In Firefox, I've got a right div that is not repsonding to an auto width in FF. I am not a pro a CSS (yet ) and I hope that someone can give me the one line solution that I am missing. I've included a screen shot of the problem, any help is greatly appreciated. - K CSS Code Code: #MainContainer { float: left; width: auto; } #Main { margin-right: 0.2em; } #MainContent { padding: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em; } #SidebarContainer { float: right; width: 250px; border-top: 1px solid #C0C0C0; padding-top: 5px; clear: right; } #Sidebar { padding-bottom: 5px; background: #ADADAD; background-image: url(../images/SidebarBackground.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; clear:left; } #SidebarContent { margin: 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em 0.2em; } subject isn't too good anyhow.. i have 4 cells __ __ |1 | |2 | --- --- __ __ |3| |4 | --- --- 2 and 4 are said to float right, such that 1 and 3 define the height of the page.. but.. when the contents of 2 go LONGER than the contents of 1, number 4 doesn't float right properly.. instead this happens __ __ |1 | |2 | --- | | --- | | |4| --- --- __ |3| --- do you see that? 4 tries to float right, but since it's called underneath 1, and 2 is extended, floating right relative to the page doesn't make it ACTUALLY float right any thoughts that will render this properly? (namely that cells 1 and 3 will inherit the height of 2 and 4 somehow?) Hi There - Am converting another design from tables, working with a CMS (Drupal) and an existing CSS / table combination that I didn't write and have no choice about. Think of the header as having three sections. The top section has logo on the left, search box on the right. Rounded corners. I'm cool with that section. Then there's a space. Created a div for the space. Love the space. Problems with the space in IE. Will go into it later. Then there's the next section. Rounded corners. Contains the entire page. On the left is a pulldown menu, about 1 cm from the top. On the right is a tabbed menu. This menu has flexible height. It needs to be right up against the bottom with the menu below it. Call this section the tabbed menu section. Third section. Immediately below that is a bar menu like the one Apple's got. Looks like a metal bar with divisions. Call this primary links. ---------- First, the space between. In IE, when you roll over the bar menu, the space disappears. Won't come back. Initially, in the second section, floated the pulldown menu left and the tabbed menu right. That worked fine, except that the tabbed menu had a width of 100% and pushed up the pulldown menu so the section was too wide. When I put it to 65%, all hell broke loose with the bar menu in the third section below it and bits of it snuck up into the second section. If I left it alone, and left the tabbed menu at 100%, when I checked over its container with firebug, it said that it was being affected by the primary links. I figured that out also because the background for that container was a really weird color that I finally found in the background of the navigation id and changed to white. Primary was overlapping it so I couldn't see it with firebug. So after fiddling with several clearing methods, I gave up and decided to try a table. Table worked fine, and the second section looks good except that there's a one pixel space between the tabbed menu and the bar menu. --------- It is my greatest wish right now to be able to float the pulldown to the left, the tabbed menu to the right and have the primary links stay below. I wish I could get the space to work and I wish for a clear understanding of it all so I can then figure out where to put the corners. Anyone who can enlighten me on this would have my undying gratitude. I've been working on this all day and the deadline's tomorrow. Code: <div id="top part" logo and searchbox </div> <div> that pesky space that disappears in IE when roll over primary links </div> <div id=navcontainer> dropdown and tabbed menu </div> <div id="navigation" class="menu> <!-- couldn't find the menu class in the css --> <div id="primary" class="clear-block"> contains barmenu - very fussy </div> </div> Here's the relevant CSS: Code: div#navigation { background: #fff url(../images/blue/menu-bg.png) 100% 100% repeat-x; } #primary { line-height: 30px; } #primary ul { padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none; } #primary li { display:inline; } #primary a { font-weight:bold; display:block; float:left; padding:0px 14px 0px 14px; margin: 0px 1px 0px 0px; font-size: 95%; } #primary a { background-position:0% 0px; } #primary a:hover { text-decoration: none; background-position:0% -42px; } #primary a.active { background-position: 0% -84px; } #primary a { background: url(../images/blue/menu-div.png) 100% 0 repeat-y; color:#666666; font-size: 120%; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; } #primary a:hover { color: 666666; background: #B8B8B8; } #primary a.active { color: 666666; background: #B8B8B8; } This is my first try at css and i have been at it about a week on and off. I have tried to use examples from here and the o'reilly CSS cookbook. I want to create a two column row of pictures with a caption. I selected DIV as the tool (my css is below). The container DIV looks great. I want the div.float, however, to start a second row when a third picture is added and to continue thereafter with successive two column rows. Unfortunately, each of my rows contain only one picture. here is my css style sheet. A demonstration of the problem can be seen at: http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/?How_to_create_pages Code: div.float { float: left; BORDER-RIGHT: #808080 2px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 2px; BORDER-TOP: #808080 2px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 2px; FONT-WEIGHT: lighter; FONT-SIZE: medium; PADDING-BOTTOM: 20px; MARGIN: 16px 2%; BORDER-LEFT: #808080 2px solid; COLOR: #000000; PADDING-TOP: 2px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #808080 2px solid; HEIGHT: 200px; WIDTH: 150px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff; TEXT-DECORATION: none } div.float p { text-align: center; } div.container { border: 2px dashed #333; background-color: #ffe; } div.spacer { clear: both; } MY HTML is like this: Code: H1>How to create pages</H1> <P>The headings are used for splitting up the content file.

I have my webpage: http://www.houseofhawkins.com/index.html which works great in IE. the part in question is the menu tabs at the top. Within IE they keep the width I have given them.. In firefox they only go to the width of the text. They are links with the following CSS attached: div#Header #MenuSection a.MenuTab { PHP Code: filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Gradient(endColorstr='#A8DBA8', startColorstr='#A4B7A4', gradientType='0'); font-weight: bold; text-align: center; font-size: 1.3em; background-color: #BCD6BC; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-color: #A5BEA5 #BCD6BC #BCD6BC #A5BEA5; margin: 0 5px 0 2px; height: 1.5em; width: 140px; padding: 5px 1px 1px 1px; } div#Header #MenuSection { float:left; margin-top: 30px; } here is the HTML code for that part of the page. PHP Code: <div ID="MenuSection"> <a Class="SelectedMenuTab" Title="You are currently viewing the Home page">Home</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Curriculum Vitae for Jonathan Hawkins, Author of House of Hawkins">CV</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/projects/index.html" title="Portfolio of Work created by Jon Hawkins">Portfolio</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="" title="Online Photo Gallery of Jon, friends and family">Photo Gallery</a> <a Class="MenuTab" href="http://houseofhawkins.com/games.html" title="Games created by House of Hawkins">Games</a> </div> <div style="clear:left"> </div> I just dont get why firefox wont be nice and give me the width I ask for... the oddest bit is if I put float:left into the menutab part they do work! I wish to understand why its like this... I have attached the CSS and the file if that helps anyone. Thanks for the help and advice. Hi, I'm having a familiar problem: with this page The the content on a contained and floated div is over running it's containing div. I have had this problem before and using something like: Code: #innerwrap:after { content:"."; display:block; clear:both; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } Has worked before, but this time it's not. I'm having to specify a unique class and heitht for the #main box or use <br/>. It would be nice not to have to do this. Can anybody advise me what to look into please. Thanks James Hello, I have a page where a left-floated <div> is nested within the main <div>. Content then is placed in a <div> next to the left-floated one. My problem is that the main <div> does not stretch to the height of the left-floated <div>, rather just to the height of the content. I placed: Code: <br style="clear: both;"> after the content <div> which usually does the trick but it's not working for some reason... And even more confusing is the fact that if I change the <br> to something else like say <span>, the main <div> does stretch to the proper height BUT the content within the <h1> tag and the content <div> are not displayed until you do something like minimize the window then restore it or bring another window in front of it then bring it back to focus. This happens in IE only. Any ideas?

I'm almost done with it, but the problem I'm having is that I have 2 floated divs below a horizontal navigation bar. In IE these two floated divs are not positioning themselves directly beneath the nav bar like they do in FF. There looks to be a 3px or so gap between them. I will post screenshots for a better idea of what I'm talking about. The HTML is: Code: <div id="container"> <div id="top"></div> <div id="brands"> ....stuff here.... </div> <div id="slides"></div> <!-- Slides and Vert_nav are not appearing directly below brands in IE--> <div id="vert_nav"> ....stuff here.... </div> </div> CSS Code: /* CSS Document */ html, body { background: #000000; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; color: #FFFFFF; } #container { width: 760px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; } #top { width: 760px; height: 239px; background: url(../images/top.jpg) top left no-repeat; } #brands { width: 760px; height: 31px; } #slides { width: 667px; height: 350px; float: left; background: url(../images/slides.jpg) top left no-repeat; T} #vert_nav { width: 93px; height: 350px; float: right; } should.jpg is how the page is supposed to look. shouldnt.jpg is how it is appearing in IE. Aaaah! another problem... now i have 2 divs, left one floated, and right one set that it's left margine distances him from left div. when i print that page from FF it's ok, but when i try to print it from IE it looks like left one isn't floating - divs are one beneath other (right one shifted to right for that margin value). what now? thanks 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; } <div align="center"> <div id="nav"> <a href="/" id="logo"><img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Associated Group" border="0" /></a><a href="/about-us.html">About Us</a><a href="/exterior.html">Exterior</a><a href="/interior.html">Interior</a><a href="/display.html">Display</a><a href="/employment.html">Employment</a><a href="/location.html">Location</a><a href="/contact.html">Contact</a> <div class="clear"></div> </div> </div> I have some tabular data that I would like displayed in two columns within a div. The div has some basic styling on it to create a block around the tables. The tables should appear side by side at the top of the div, so I floated the tables. I then found that the width of the div was always 100% unless I floated the div as well. This made the div wrap around the tables nicely, but caused the next element to appear to the right of the div, not on the next line as it normally would. Here is the basic code I have so far: Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> div.box1 { border: 1px solid red; background: #afafaf; padding: 2px; float: left; } div.box1 table { float: left; border: 1px solid blue; margin-right: 15px; } </style> </head> <body> <h1>Div</h1> <div class="box1"> <table> <tr> <td>Field1:</td> <td>Value</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Field1:</td> <td>Value</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Field1:</td> <td>Value</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Field1:</td> <td>Value</td> </tr> </table> <table> <tr> <td>Field2:</td> <td>Value</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Field2:</td> <td>Value</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Field2:</td> <td>Value</td> </tr> </table> </div> </div> <h1>Next Text</h1> </body> </html> I would like for the "Next Text" to appear on a new line after the div. After reading this page, I added the following to my css: Code: div.box1:after { content: 'clear me'; clear: both; display: block; height: 0px; visibility: hidden; } However, this had no effect on the results in Firefox or Safari. The only way I have found to clear the div is to add style="clear: both" to the h1 tag following the div. I would prefer to not do this because it will be problematic for our graphics guys down the road. Any advice on how to clear the div and keep it wrapping around the tables? |
