CSS - When Floats Clash! Pushing Eachother Aside
Hi Folks,
Does anyone know why a floated DIV would push another DIV out of the way? Or even why two floated divs would not want to sit either side-by-side or one infront of the other? Sorry this is actually the jist of a prob I had earlier, but I'm simplifying the question - hope that's okay. Thanks John Similar TutorialsHi Guys... I have posted this in the Javascript forum earlier, but i have decided it could be a CSS issue, or at least the way all the browsers play with the CSS and the Javascript? Of course the JS works fine on a 'flat-no-floats-page'. I have tried it on MSIE 6 and Firefox and get the same result. The Thread is posted http://forums.devshed.com/t243221/s.html Basically the problem is with a DHTML calendar, when it 'pops up' it disapears behind all the floats on the page! Ops! In that post, i have also posted a ZIP containing the page and everything you need to have a look at the result. The button to popup the calendar is half way down the form next to the date box. Charlie So I have a body div which has a left and right div(columns). I need to add 2 more divs inside the left div. But, these 2 divs have to unordered lists in them. I know my CSS is pretty average if not worse. My layout looks fine except for when I add 2 divs.. I have the float:left with %50 widths.. Screen shot of how my layout looks. img209.imageshack.us/img209/2913/idear.gif I did not add any clear tags to my css.. which I think might be what's causing the issue. Side note: In IE compatibility view the top of the page has a gap and so does the right of the page.. the logo and footer are both 100% width and the top div has a -negative margin to close the gap, it looks fine without compatibility view, and fine in firefox, and chrome. XHTML passed validation and so did CSS. This is before even messing with the columns. I didn't do anything with the unordered lists. Maybe i should ask how to correctly make my layout first.. Because what I've been doing is just adding new divs where I see fit, and then going back to edit the CSS till it works. Thanks for helping me out! BTW: what book would you recommend me getting.. I understand basics of CSS and I think I'm good with XHTML, I just need to get a better definition of CSS than w3schools has to offer. Thanks again. I have floating items inside of floating items. The problem is I cannot clear my floating items in the middle column because that ruins the other columns. How can I clear floats in the middle column? Do you have any better ideas to make my layout work? I have attached in image of how the layout should work. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Hey guys, so I've cleaned up my code a bit. Read up on semantic coding. I think it's a bit better. Anyways, I'm trying to make my right and left content div's the same height. I've tried the faux technique, and it doesn't seem to work. Anyways, I was wondering if it's worth the 5 hours of headache to avoid using tables to setup the layout? I think it would be nice to have it in DIV's, that way if I want to switch left to right, and vice versa, it would be a breeze. Also, for the content, I'd like the left (main) side to be the remainder of the page width, and I'd like the right side to be 260px. If it works better, I wouldn't mind having the main part 77% of the width and the right side be 23%. Anyways, here's my code: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict 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> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Beta</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- @import url("layout.css"); --> </style> </head> <body> <div id="container"> <!-- Site Head --> <div id="header"> <div id="banner"></div> <div id="head_user_container"> <div id="head_avatar"><img src="img/layout/avatar_test.jpg" alt="User Avatar" /></div> <div id="head_user_info">Welcome <a href="">Mike Jensen</a> (<a href="">Sign Out</a>)<br /><a href="">Edit Profile</a><br /><a href="">Message Center</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- End Site Head --> <!-- Menu --> <div id="menu"> </div> <!-- End Menu --> <!-- Start Top Ad Banner --> <div id="top_ad"> </div> <!-- End Top Ad Banner --> <!-- Main Content Container --> <div id="content_container"> <div id="main_content"> eh... </div> <div id="right_content">right content <br />yes sir</div> </div> <!-- End Main Content Container --> </div> </body> </html> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> and heres my css: Code:

Here's the site, and what it looks like right now: http://24.16.238.252/sd_beta/working/layout2/ Anyways, thanks for all your help guys! If you need more info, let me know! I am creating a dropdown menu based on suckerfish. The top level appears correctly, however the first submenu level puts all the menu items stacked over top of eachother right under the top level. Everything is correct except the items are overlapping. My html and css are below. <ul id="nav"> <li style="border-left: none;"> <link here> <ul> <li> <link here> <ul> <li> <link here> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <link here> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <link here> <ul> <li> <link here> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <link here> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <link here> <ul> <li> <link here> </li> </ul> <ul> <li> <link here> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <link here> </li> <li> <link here> </li> <li> <link here> </li> <li> <link here> </li> </ul> #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } #nav a { display: block; } #nav li { float: left; padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; width: 200px; color: #FFF; background-color: #000; left: -999em; } #nav li:hover ul { left: auto; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } #nav li ul ul { margin: -1em 0 0 10em; } #nav, #nav ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; line-height: 1; } #nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul { left: -999em; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } #nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul ul { left: -999em; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul, #nav li li li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } #nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul ul ul { left: -999em; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li li li:hover ul, #nav li li li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul, #nav li li li.sfhover ul, #nav li li li li.sfhover ul { left: auto; } My CSS is pulled pretty much straight from suckerfish. there are a few small changes like the widths and background color, but the issue was there even when it was a direct copy. Currently I am only trying to get this to in firefox, as I am getting the same issue in every browser I try. Just an fyi, I am using umbraco as the CMS for this site, and it is generating the html for the menu. There are actual links I just cant post them as I am new here, they contain just the hfer attribute. Thanks For some reason, my table (using this for a calendar) is being pushed down in my <div>. Please look this over and see if you can figure out why this is doing this. (and pay no mind to the width, I'm still working on that part) TIA Javashackgirl http://www.fit4lifehealthclub.com/index2.html My problem is pretty obvious when you look at the following link. Currently only the first three links in the list in the middle work. (Firewall, power backups, tape backup system): http://www.zacwittedesign.com/jeremy/network.html They show/hide correctly, but I need them to end up on top of eachother. I don't know how to do this without using the absolute positioning, but I can't use that because it needs to be reletive to the rest of the page. Can't I somehow anchor the layers at the same point? Thanks, Zac I'm having a problem inserting two DIV columns (left and right) inside another DIV to get a result like the following image: http://www.geocities.com/simonc1204/image.htm What happens is that the DIVs extend outside of their containing block and into the footer below, rather than pushing it down, like so: http://www.geocities.com/simonc1204/bad.htm But, when I replace the two DIVs with some placeholder text, that works OK, with the footer being pushed down, as in: http://www.geocities.com/simonc1204/good.htm I would have thought that wrapping the two DIVs (which are absolute positioned) in a container DIV would make other block elements flow before and after them, but apparently not, and I need to understand CSS a bit more. I've reduced the problem to almost its simplest form, and by looking at the small amount of source, I'm wondering if anybody can tell me where I might be going wrong? Thanks in advance for any replies. Miner2049er. Hey guys, I'm now truly understanding why all my tech friends constantly talk about how much they hate IE. Anyways, im working on a site and am trying to add a corner element to one of my divs. It works perfect in firefox... but in IE it pushes the table below it and adds like a 2px wide sliver to the right of the img. Here is the table layout Code:
<div class='wrapp'>
<img src='Images/tr.gif' />
<table style='width:100%;'>
<tbody>
<tr class='time'>
<td colspan='6' style='text-align:left;'>" . date('F d Y',$key[5]) . ", " . date('g A T',$key[5]) . "</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
[/div]
Then here is the related CSS codes to make the image float to the right. Code:
.wrapp {
margin-bottom:8px;
width:354px;
text-align:center;
}
.wrapp img {
float:right;
display:inline;
}
table {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
So once again what im trying to do is have the corner img show on the top right corner of the wrapp div. It works perfect in firefox but again it does not work in IE... and I have read about 20 articles on google that talk about these problems but I just can't figure the right combination out to make it work. Thanks in advance for any help! Right, so I'm very new at this CSS positioning business. All I'm trying to do is have a centered 100% tall div with some content inside it. The 100% tall div is working. Now, inside, I'm going to eventually have 3 different divs containing information. All will be centered in the large container, , be about as wide as the centered container, and they will appear one on top of the other. Right now, all I have is my title image, which is basically just a placeholder until I make the title image I want. I have it centered just fine, and its at the top obviously. The problem is, I don't want it jammed up against the top of the browser window. So, margin-top, right? When I do that, It pushed the entire page down however many pixels I make the margin.

Hello, I am a javascript noob trying to do a javascript dropdown and this does not seem to be working at all. When ever I add in the list for the drop down, everything gets pushed to the left and where ever the list begins, every link after that just disappears. I'm pretty sure the link is being put inline instead of block like I wanted it to but i'm not sure how to correct it and I am getting completely frustrated doing it. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what I was doing wrong. Also, I used the suckerfish method for the drop down. HTML Code: Code: <div id="nav">

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've opened up a .css file so forgive me. I have a couple of questions about this partiular site. It's a test site I'm workig on... http://www.karenwilliamson.com/joom2/ I would like if possible to fix the footer in a fixed position and not have it rise and fall according to the amount of content on each page. Click some of the random links and you'll see what I mean. Also, while I'm here I can't figure out how to adjust the spacing in the main content area to be more uniform between IE7 and FF. It seems to my novice eyes that it should be controlled by Code: table.contentpaneopen Maybe I'm being too nitpicky but I'm sure there is a way to make it more uniform among the two browsers? Thanks for any input Rob Hello, I'm currently in the works of converting an old HTML site of mine into CSS and have run into what seems to be a notorious problem with the page text not pushing the footer down when the text gets to a certain length. Instead the text just covers and hides the footer. I've been trying to remedy this problem for about a week, but to no avail. I've Googled this problem and tried the suggested fixes, but once again have had no such luck. I'm left to believe that every instance is unique. If you view the Style Sheet, I have the 'footerlinks' set at an "Absolute" position because it looks fine on the other pages and I do relize this will have to be changed. As to what else has to be changed I would really appreciate some input as to what I need to do to get the footer to slide down when the text gets lengthy. ------- Here's a link to the page thats having issues with the footer... *** Note: I keep getting an error message saying I can't post URLs on this forum because I have a new user account so below this line is the link to the page I'm having trouble with without the http:// ........ infoheaven.bravepages.com/Testamonials/Testimonials.htm The URL to the STYLE SHEET is located at the top of the page between the "Head" tags of the website source code I provided above. I tried listing my CSS code here, but once again I kept getting the "New user accounts are not permitted to create posts containing URLs" error message. Sorry for the inconvenience.... Dan - hi. I need some formatting help. I am using niftycorners and the linked list tabs I am building seem to rest at the bottom, pushing the bottom of the rounded corners to the right of them. I have tried clear:left, clear:right, clear:both at the div and ul levels but that doesnt work. any ideas? I have attached a picture of the problem. Here is the CSS/HTML: Code:
<style>
body {
margin:20px;
}
#toptabs {
clear:left;
}
#toptabs ul {
clear:left;
position:relative;
width:100%;
margin-bottom:0;
list-style:none;
line-height:1em;
padding:100px 0px 0px 0px;
}
#toptabs ul li {
float:left;
margin-right:5px;
padding:0;
}
#toptabs ul li.clear {
clear:right;
}
#toptabs a {
display:block;
color:#444;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:bold;
background:#ddd;
margin:0;
padding:0.25em 1em;
border-left:1px solid #fff;
border-top:1px solid #fff;
border-right:1px solid #aaa;

Hi, My page has 3 elements: one at the top(header banner), one in the middle (a middle content area) and one at the bottom (footer banner). Now I want those positions to remain intact regardless of the number of lines output in the middle element. The content is going to be determined at runtime by a server-side routine so I don't want to use a fixed positioning for the footer banner. I want it to be displayed at the bottom - after the middle content is displayed. And I want the middle content to be visible in the page i.e. I don't want a scroll area within the page. I have tried various approaches and read up on positioning but so far have not been able to do it using css. Any help is much appreciated. Jim Hi I have a vertical menu containing main and subcategories. subcats are hidden, when a main cat is clicked then subcats are displayed, all is done with css no javascript. here is the structure, Code:

<a href="/clothes.html"><span>Clothes</span></a>

I am attaching a screenshot to explain the problem, i have given border to the OL to explain the problem. In the screenshot the pink arrow is pointing the place, BEFORE BEDS, where i want to give more space but the child list keeps overlapping rather than pushing the parent list downwards. any help is much appreciated I am really stuck with this. Hello, I'm currently working on a website layout that uses CSS for everything. I have a header, and two columns below that. The header works perfectly. I used float:left on both of my two columns, and they both appear side-by-side as intended. However, I want the right column to fill up the entire right side of the screen. When I try to use CSS's width: 100%; the entire right column jumps down below the left column, which is not what I want. I made a little screenshot: http://img282.echo.cx/img282/6555/tms1od.png I believe it can be done, but I'm stumped. Help is appreciated Hey, yet again I am having issues with some floated elements in IE (6 + 7). Have a look here. The product details start under the bottom of the photo of the product, and I've tried a bunch of different things to get it lined up with no joy. Here's the CSS: Code:
#features {
position:relative;
float:right;
margin:0 20px 20px 20px;
width:350px;
border:1px solid #E1DCC6;
border-top:0;
}
* html #features {
margin:0 10px 0 10px;
}
#features p, #features p strong {
font-size:10px;
margin:4px;
padding:2px;
}
#picbox {
width:350px;
height:350px;
margin:0 20px 0 20px;
float:right;
border:1px solid #E1DCC6;
border-bottom:1px dashed #E1DCC6;
}
* html #picbox {
margin:0 10px 0 10px;
}
#detail-list {
margin:10px 60px;
}
#detail-list li {
list-style:square inside;
margin:2px;
}
#buynow {
margin:5px 10px 5px 30px;
}
#priceTable {
margin:10px 40px;
border:1px solid #E1DCC6;
}
#priceTable td {
padding:4px;
}
#priceTable td.priceRight {
background-color:#E1DCC6;
font-size:14px;
font-weight:bold;
color:red;
}
#priceTable td.priceLeft {
text-align:right;
color:white;
font-weight:bold;
background-color:#B8A488;
}
.liner {
text-decoration:line-through;
}
Any insight, as per usual, is greatly appreciated. Hey, k, as per usual, all's well in FF with this site. The list to the right is forcing the paragraphs below in IE tho...I've tried a bunch of different 'clears' and what not, but can't seem to figure it out. Here's the html; Code:
<div id="homelistbox"><b>Upcoming Tradeshows:</b>
<ul class="homelist">
<li><a href="http://www.torontoinwaterboatshow.com">Toronto In-Water
Boat Show,</a> Sept 14-17 2006</li>

and the CSS; Code:

margin-top:-1px;
height:1px;
overflow:hidden;
}
p {
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:8pt;
line-height:11pt;
color:#555;
text-decoration:none;
width:650px;
margin-top:5px;
padding:10px;
}
#homelistbox {
width:180px;
padding:5px;
margin:2px 10px;
border-top:1px dotted #CCC;
border-left:1px dotted #CCC;
min-height:120px;
float:right;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:8pt;
color:#255CB8;
}
.homelist li {
margin-top:5px;
padding-left:10px;
list-style:none;
}
.homelist a {
color:#FF0000;
text-decoration:underline;
}
.homelist a:hover {
color:#255CBE;
text-decoration:none;
}
i'm also having similar issues with simple image floats, as seen here. It forces the paragraph underneath in IE...boourns. Anyways, any guidance'd be greatly appreciated. Cheers. |
