CSS - Text-wrap Text (top)

I am working on this site design for a client:

http://universalcorner.com/testsite/

In the center of the site, there is a text box with a dark blue square-shaped div inside of in it, positioned in the bottom right corner.

CSS:
Code:

#textbox {
	width: 636px;
	height: 292px;
	float: left;
	display: block;
	border: solid #000027;
	border-width: 0 12px 12px 0;
	background: #C1BDFF;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

#textbox p {
	margin: 10px;
}

div.cube {
	width: 150px;
	height: 140px;
	border: solid #000027;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
}

HTML:
Code:

<div id="textbox">
		
		<div style="background: #002455; float:right; border-width: 12px 0 0 12px; margin-top: 140px; margin-left: 10px" class="cube"></div>
		
		<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi sapien urna, scelerisque nec, imperdiet vitae, luctus non, nisi. Duis et magna et tellus imperdiet tempor. Sed ipsum.</p>
		<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi sapien urna, scelerisque nec, imperdiet vitae, luctus non, nisi. Duis et magna et tellus imperdiet tempor. Sed ipsum.</p>
		<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Morbi sapien urna, scelerisque nec, imperdiet vitae, luctus non, nisi. Duis et magna et tellus imperdiet tempor. Sed ipsum.</p>
	
</div>

The client would like the text in this box to wrap around the top of the dark blue square-shaped div, filling in the empty space above it. My current code has the square div positioned correctly, but because of the margin-top, it only wraps around the left side of the div, leaving the space above it blank.

I also tried setting the square div's position to relative and top: 140px. This positioned the div correctly, but it overlapped the text rather than letting it wrap. Still had the blank space above it, too.

Is there a way to achieve what the client wants?

Is there a way to have texts wrap an image? For example, I want to have a small image 120x146 jpeg image aling top left on the page. I then want the texts to start from the top next to the image on the right side of the image just like in MS Word. Is this possible?

Currently I have this:
<div style="padding:5px; overflow:auto; border:1px solid #c0c0c0; font-size:13px; background: #EEE;">
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
</div>

I want to make it so that it will always stay on 1 line, and a horizontal scroll bar will appear if the window gets too narrow. How can I do this?
edit: I can't use <pre> tags because the destroy the formatting in a more annoying way.

Seems to work just fine in IE 5.5+, however in Mozilla 1.5 the text just drops below the photo.

Here is the page:

Here is the sites CSS:

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I am displaying a list of users on my site. Each user has a picture with some text below. I want to display this image+text block" and I want it to wrap like text.

I made inline div and tables with these elements but it seems to wrap arbitrarily around the page.

any suggestions?

Please realize this question is coming from a new CSSer.

I would like to have the text I have in the content area wrap around the box on the right. So when I type more content, the bottom portion will extend below the box. The box will always stay at the top.

can someone help me do this?

By the way, I know it doesn't render properly in FireFox - I was going to ask about that later.

Hi,

Here is the problem I'm having:
This:
see attached cssprobl.jpg
should become:

Here's the CSS code I have:
Code:

	background-color:	#FFFFCC;
	margin:		0px;
	padding:		0px;
}

.holder{
	background-color:	red;
	width:			250px;
	height:		400px;
	float:			left;
	margin:		10px 10px;
	}

.img{
	padding:		0px;
	width:			200px;

	border:		2px white solid;
	}

	color:			white;	
	}

	font:			14px Arial, Helvetia, sans-serif;
	color:			white;	
	}	

.omschrijvingholder{
	background-color:	black;
	width:			250px;
	height:		100px;	
	margin-top:		0px;
	}

.prijsholder{
	background-color:	green;
	width:			80px;
	height:		40px;	
	vertical-align:	bottom;
	float:			right;
	}

and this is one of the sections:
Code:

<div class="holder">
	<h1>Theeglas
	</h1>
	<div class="img">
		<img src="theeglas.jpg" alt="theeglas met bedrukking" title="theeglas met bedrukking" width=200 height=200></img>
	</div>
	<div class="omschrijvingholder">
		<div class="omschrijving">
			Een mooi theeglas met een doorzichtige bedrukking.
		</div>
		<div class="prijsholder">
			<div class="prijs">
				<span class="euro">&euro;</span> 9,<span class="dec">95</span>
			</div>
		</div>		
	</div>
</div>

SO: how do I get that green part exactly there (and without going outside the red box), and how do I wrap the text in the grey part around it? After 2 hours of trying all kinds of options I give up and call for help

Here is the full link:

Second problem: in IE the white border around the img is too low, leaving a red space. How to avoid that?

Thanks in advance,

PS How do I put an uploaded image in this message?

Hi,

For SEO reasons I'm trying to add an < H1 > tag around some text and have that text appear as the other text in a paragrah.

The problem is any text I put in the h1 tags don't seem to wrap in IE or NS. Instead, if it needs to wrap it puts it on the next line.

For example, if I had something that looked like:

The quick brown fox
jumped over the fence
and ate the cat

And I surround "brown fox jumped" in h1 tags, in IE and NS it would look like:

The quick
brown fox jumped over
the fence and ate the cat

Does that make sense? Any solution to that? The style I'm using is simply

Code:

h1
{	
	position:relative; 	
	font: 12px/14px Verdana;
	display:inline;
	margin:0;
}

TIA!

Hi
How can I wrap a long line of text inside a fixed width div?

hi,

im trying to get a long text to wrap in a div with a given width

PHP Code:
<div style="
width: 100px;
word-wrap: break-word;
">
aaweofajw;eofija;weoifja;weoifja;woeifja;woeifja;wieofj
</div> 





however, the closest thing i found is "word-wrap: break-word;" which only works in IE. is there anyway i can get it to work in netscape or firefox?

thanks!

I'm currently working on a page that has a 3-column layout. The layout is fine as along as the content of the columns doesn't extend passed its given width.

Is there a way to have the text either wrap or extend without extending the div it's in.

I have attached a pic of what's happening (this is only when I get errors, the rest of the content doesn't extend the div). Is there a way to hide the text that goes beyond the div width?

CSS
Code:

/* columns */
#lcol {
  float: left;
  width: 190px;
  vertical-align: top;
}
#mcol {
  float: right;
  width: 350px;
  padding-right: 10px;
  vertical-align: top;
}
#rcol {
  float: right;
  width: 200px;
  vertical-align: top;
}
/* gray box */
.gray_box_frame
{
  background-color: #fff;
  border: solid 1px #404040;
  width: 100%;
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 3px 0px 3px 0px;
}

.gray_box_head
{
  height: 18px;
  background-color: #404040;
}
.gray_smm,
.green_smm
{
  display: inline;
  float: right;
  height: 18px;
  cursor: pointer;
}
.gray_box_content,
.green_box_content
{
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 5px;
}

Hello,

I Have an div of an sertain width.
And there is some text like.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Which is wider then the div itself.
Now the tekst overlaps the div borders.

How can i fix this without getting a scrollbar.

Thx in advance.

Hello,

I'm new to css layouts.

I had to float:left every element so the heights stretch

problem is if the image in "page_c_left" is wider than 45% then "page_c_right" will automatically go on the next line. (in Firefox, IE seems to wrap the text without moving the element).


also, i wanted to have the content displayed first for non-css browsers, but the examples used position:absolute. when the impression i got was that float is preferable to position.

i'm very confused on which method to use for layouts.

what method would you use for complex css layouts? float, position or other?

this is code with the text wrap problem
Code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>test</title>
<style type="text/css">

#main_c {
  float:left;
  width:770px;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 1px solid black
}

#header_c {
  float:left;
  border:1px solid brown
}

#page_c {
  float:left;
  width:100%;
  border:1px solid red
}

#page_c_left {
  float:left;
  padding:10px;
  border:1px solid blue
}

#page_c_right {
  float:left;
  width:55%;
  padding:10px;
  border:1px solid green

}

#footer_c {
  float:left;
  border:1px solid yellow
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<div id="main_c">

Hi there, I recently started up an internship at a music magazine and they asked me to do a simple side site to present some information. I left it pretty simple for most of it but wanted to challenge myself a bit with some CSS for one of the pages.

The page in question is the 05 Panel Page It looked better in Firefox earlier, but I recently made some changes according to the site editors which made it look a lot less clean in Firefox and damn ugly in IE. I would like to have that introductory block of text be where it is with the panel information on the left side and the photos and text wrapping where appropriate. I've been fiddling with padding a lot, but haven't made too much headway.

I know that there's a lot going on to be helped out with specific parts (although I wouldn't mind if anyone could). But if you had any topics that I should concentrate looking up information on, then that would be just as helpful.

Edit:
I was also having problems giving the entire side enough padding to stay away from the edges of the browser window. However I ran into problems on the right side of the page: some of the text would go too far past the headers. And if that didnt happen, extra space in general appears on that right side.

How's it going,

If you look at this page, you'll notice that the text doesn't wrap around the image, but instead breaks after the caption just below the image:

http://www.trophyfishingcharters.com/test/

Ideally, I want the text to wrap around the picture, with the caption remaining just below the photo. How can I pull this off?

Thank you.
