CSS - Float Left, Simple Border Box Problem
Hi,
Small problem he http://www.salewhale.com/z.html The box with the "What would you like to do?" is as follows: Code: <div class="boxarea"> <div class="boxarea_left"><b>What would you like to do?</b></div> <div class="boxarea_right"><a href='3_changepass.php'>Change Password</a></div> </div> The CSS for this is: Code: .boxarea {
border: 1px solid #0000FF;
background-color: #F5F5F5;
padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
}
.boxarea_left {
width: 140px;
float: left;
}
.boxarea_right {
width: 300px;
}
The point is to have the left column (boxarea_left) as 140px, so that the text wraps to the next line. Does anyone have any idea why the border box doesn't really take account of the new line? It simply ignores the divs and has a basic one line height. Of course, if I put a spacer within the boxarea div, the problem will be solved - but this leaves a gap at the bottom of the box - which I dont want. Is there a simpe fix? Thanks very much! Similar TutorialsThe site is he http://andamu.org/main/yarn/ or "andamu.org /main /yarn" The appearance of the date, byline, comments/trackbacks and tags on the left, aligned beneath one another in IE 8 is the desired appearance. In Firefox, the date appears in the correct spot, but the rest appears to its right instead of below it. (I am modifying the Pico theme in MT5.) I'll try to get the relevant bits here, but please ask if I can provide more detail. The html part: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <h2 class="date-header">September 6, 2010</h2> <div class="asset-footer"> <p class="asset-footer-info"> <span class="byline"> <span class="vcard author">Sivani</span> at <abbr class="published" title="2010-09-06T18:47:04-08:00"> 6:47 PM</abbr> </span> <span class="separator"><br /></span> <a href="http://andamu.org/main/yarn/2010/09/the-socks-of-doom---part-ii-sucked-in-again.html#comments"> No Comments</a> <span class="separator"><br /></span> <a href="http://andamu.org/main/yarn/2010/09/the-socks-of-doom---part-ii-sucked-in-again.html#trackbacks"> No TrackBacks</a> </p> </div> <!-- class="asset-footer" -->
The css part: Code: .date-header {
float: left;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 4px 0;
margin-left: 20px;
border-right: 1px solid #eee;
width: 128px;
color: #999;
}
.asset-footer {
float: left;
text-align: right;
padding: 5px 20px 4px 0;
margin-left: 20px;
border-right: 1px solid #eee;
width: 128px;
color: #999;
clear: all;
}
Note: I have tried using clear: all; in the .date-header to no effect. 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 {

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? I am modifying an X-Cart implementation that the template originally put the product image in a seperate td. I have modified it to put the image in the same td as the description and used a float style on a div tag. The text is wrapping correctly. The problem is that I have a border-bottom style on the product name and it is ending up under the product image. The image is also covering the bullet on li tags. An example is http://www.adaappliances.com/produc...48&cat=0&page=1. Please do not attempt to order anything! This is not a live site yet. This is a snippet of the code. I am using inline styles for testing. Code: <div style="float:left; padding:5px"> <IMG id="product_thumbnail" src="/image.php?productid=16148" width="168" height="230" alt="Eurotech EDW254E Dishwasher" border="0"></div> <p style="border-bottom: 1px solid black"><font size="3"><strong>Eurotech EDW254E Dishwasher </strong></font></p> I have not found a way to fix this. Any suggestions? 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:

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. I'm trying to put in a column to their right that runs vertical called "right", to be spaced out about 110 px from the top of the page so it sits vertically below the banner and the navs. I tried giving it a left margin to clear the floated DIV's but to no avail. You can see the page he http://yourthreshold.com/playground/ It seems to clear in Firefox but not in IE .. The main CSS: Code: * {

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; }
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. An H1, H2 or H3 heading will dynamically split the document into new pages in the table of contents. An H4-heading is used as a heading within a page. See the following pages...<BR></P> <P></P> <DIV class=container> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 1" src="image1.gif" width=100> <P>caption 1</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 2" src="image2.gif" width=100> <P>caption 2</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer> <DIV class=float><IMG height=100 alt="image 3" src="http://www.yourline-online.com/demo05/image3.gif" width=100> <P>caption 3</P></DIV> <DIV class=spacer></DIV></DIV></DIV> Hi, Here's my problem: css Code: Original - css Code <div style="width:69%; text-align:center; float:left;"> <div style="width:80%; min-height: 98px; border: black thin solid;"> BLEH </div> </div> <div style="width:30%; text-align:center; float:right;"> RIGHT </div> <div style="width:69%; text-align:center; float:left;"> The above code, should in theory make two "cells", one on the left and one on the right, side by side. Within the left one there should be another box, aligned centrally. This is fine in internet explorer, yet in Firefox & similar browsers it refuses to do this - I'm sure this is something very simple. Many thanks, Alan Hi, I have this page: Code:

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 am sure that you've seen these types of divs/boxes that people use on their webpage. almost everyone uses it pretty much it's a div or a table cell where the cell has background colour and a thin border around it (usually lighter) for a nice effect. Then obviously within the box, there is text to be displayed. I can't seem to get this!! I've tried using tables but what happens is that the border starts overlapping with the other cells and I don't have the effect I won't what's the easiest way of implementing this type of design? thanks! I came across this today and realized I didn't have a nice clean answer for how to handle it. A client was editing a page where text was wrapping around an image. Something like this: Code: <div style="border: 1px solid blue; float: left; width: 100px; height: 200px">image</div> <p>This is some text.</p> <ul> <li>list item1</li> <li>list item2</li> <li>list item3</li> </ul> She asked why the bullets weren't appearing. Sure enough, the bullets appear underneath the float, not next to it. Now I could enclose the bullets and the paragraph in a div and give that div some left padding, but this is a free form text page where she should just be able to type and have the text flow around the floated element. I shouldn't have to manually tweak styles on elements just so she can have bullets show up in the right place. Is there an easy CSS method to make the bullets appear in the right place whether they're next to a floating element or not? hey all, i have divs within a div but the inner div with the text does not expand the main wrapping div with so the main wrapping div is very thin and the text just goes over it?? here is the code Code: <div id="greyinset"> <div id="insetcontent"> <form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <div id="insetcontentL"> <div align="left"> <label>Smoking:</label> <br> <label>Bed Type:</label> <br> <label>Accessible:</label> <br> </div> </div> <div id="insetcontentR"> <div align="left"> <input name="smoking" type="radio" value="yes"> yes <input name="smoking" type="radio" value="no" checked> no<br> <input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton"> King <input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton"> Two Beds <input name="radiobutton" type="radio" value="radiobutton"> No Preference<br> <input name="accessible" type="checkbox" id="accessible" value="yes"> </div> </div> </form> </div> </div> and the css code Code:
#greyinset { width: 100%; background-color: #eee; border: 1px solid black; clear:left; }
#insetcontent {width: 100%; padding: 3px 10px 3px 10px; white-space:normal;}
#insetcontentL {width: 50%; float: left;}
#insetcontentR {width: 50%; float: right;}
any ideas?? or do i have to go back to trusty tables thanks RF Internet Explorer 7 has an odd way of dealing with adjacent left and right floats in a container without set width. Instead of leaving the parent div to its natural content width as a float, IE7 forces the right-floating div to float right until it meets an element with a fixed width, or otherwise the document margin. IE8 and other browsers float the items correctly. The example below was meant to do a menu with rounded buttons, the two rounded images floated to the left and right edges of the button containing the text. The button should only be the width of the text link plus the rounding divs. This is easily fixed by adding a fixed width to the floating container div. However this may not always be the desirable action when div content widths may vary -- especially if space is at premium. Is there any decent way to fix this without resorting to ugly hacks? An easy way to make rounded corners for buttons that are floating. Perhaps use ul/li as the menu item container elements -- would that make any difference? ul/li come with their semantic limitations however, as far as their contents are concerned. (No divs for one.)

Say I have the code: Code: <div style="float: left">left</div> <div style="float: right">right</div> In Opera, Firefox and IE, "left" will be on the left side of the scren, "right" will be on the far right. Now let's say I nest those two in a parent. I want the parent to expand with the child's content, so I float it too: Code: <div style="float: left;"> <div style="float: left">left</div> <div style="float: right">right</div> </div> In Firefox in IE, "left" is still on the far left and "right" on the far right. In Opera, it collapses the div so they're right next to each other, or "leftright". Now I could set a width of 100% on the parent, but the situation I'm actually using something like this in is more complicated -- padding, margins, etc. So setting a width of 100% makes the parent overflow it's parent nodes. I've tried not floating the parent and setting it to overflow: auto, but that doesn't seem to work either. Is there an easy fix I'm missing? Hello everyone, I am having some problems making my website show the same in all browsers (this is not a doctype problem, I am using a proper one). My problem is with float:left, and here is how I am using it on my website at the moment: Code: #ctr1{float:left;width:189px;}
#ctr2{float:left;width:590px;}
<div id="ctr1">blahblahblah</div>
<div id="ctr2">blahblahblah</div>
This shows fine with IE, but with all the Netscape based browsers (NS, Mozilla, Moz Firefox).. and also in Opera, it shows wrong. Is there anything I can use instead of float:left? Thanks. Hey, so I am a beginner in css and I can't seem to figure out this problem. I am trying to get a td to float: left, and it works just fine on firefox, but IE7 is not showing the float. Here is the code I have for it /* Style for Entries in Category View (Cards View) */ /* -------------------------------------------------------- */ table.sobi2Listing { } table.sobi2Listing td { vertical-align: top; float: left; height: 1%; width: 97%; } /* new */ div.vcard_item { margin: 1px 0px 2px 0; padding: 6px; width: 97%; border:1px solid #dddddd; background-color:#fbfaf2; -moz-border-radius: 5px; The actual page is findawebsitedesigner.info/directory-2.html If you look at the entries, they are all floated perfectly in firefox, but not in IE7. If anybody has the fix to this I would love your help. The code below displays the boxes i want but i do not understand why those that could be aligned to left are not aligned. I would like to have those boxes to be aligned to the left. Any help is appreciated. Code:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" >
<title></title>
<style type="text/css">
div {
position: relative;
width: 10em;
padding: 0.25em;
margin: 0.25em;
border: 1px solid black;
text-align: center;
overflow: auto;
float: left;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="top: 0em; height: 2em;"> 8 pm</div>
<div style="top: 5em; height: 2em;"> 9 pm</div>
<div style="top: 10em; height: 2em;">10 pm</div>
<div style="top: 8em; height: 5em;">Box A</div>
<div style="top: 9em; height: 5em;">Box B</div>
</body>

How come sometimes when I try to float left a div next to another div, it appears underneath the original and not all next to it? <div1></div1> <div2></div2> If I use float left on div1, div2 appears underneath div1, not next to it? confused beyond help! Hey all, I'm having an issue with the float property. I have 2 nested div tags both floated left, to create two columns, but the div tag holding them doesn't seem to stretch around them. it's looks basically like this... <div id="container"> <div id="leftCol"> stuff </div> <div id="rightCol"> more stuff, WOOT! </div> </div> I only run into the problem with FireFox, so i know that i'm not doing something right! Can anyone help.. thanks! |
