CSS - Css Float Constraining Divs
This is hard to explain, so a visual aid is he
http://dev.dave.imarc.net/examples/css-wants/ I have a page of content divs (grey blocks containing content) extending 100% wide, going down the page. I want to float a block of text to the right, and have it constrain any 'content' div it comes in contact with like this (pushing 1 box) or this (pushing 2 boxes) But all I get is the content div extending accross the page, and only it's content running arround the float like this: http://dev.dave.imarc.net/examples/css-wants/ the two CSS styles are listed in each box. Any ideas?? Thanks... Similar TutorialsHopefully an easy fix and I'd appreciate any reference links I can bookmark. I have the following site with a navigation bar and content: jimspace.dreamhosters.com/whirligig The content is first in the source with a float: right and the nav bar next in the code with a float: left. In FF the items in the nav bar flow out of the DIV box as they should. When I switch to IE6, the DIV box expands to the size of the longest text causing a float drop. An overflow: hidden solves it, but then of course the nav bar items are cut off. Here's the relevant HTML: Code: <div id="content"> <h2>get whirligigged!</h2> <p>CONTENT</p> </div> <!-- content --> <div id="navcontainer"> <ul id="navlist"> <li class="a"><a href="#">Item one</a></li> <li class="b"><a href="#">Item two</a></li> <li class="c"><a href="#">Item three</a></li> <li class="d"><a href="#">Item four</a></li> <li class="e"><a href="#">Item five</a></li> <li class="f"><a href="#">Item six</a></li> <li class="g"><a href="#">Item seven</a></li> <li class="h"><a href="#">Item eight</a></li> <li class="i"><a href="#">Item nine</a></li> <li class="j"><a href="#">Item ten</a></li> </ul> </div> <!-- navcontainer --> And the relevant CSS: Code:
div#content{float: right;
margin: 90px 25px 0 0;
height: 420px;
width: 700px;
clear: right;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#navcontainer
{
float: left;
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
How can I get this to behave in IE6? Hi all, This is really annoying me and I don't think it should happen!! If you see this page, you will see one of the divs spans the whole page and it has gone behine the floated left element. Now if it wnt below it that would be OK as a block level element, but the content is in the right place. If you reduce the width it sits in its place OK. I think this is strange behavior.... is it correct????? http://www.wellandpower.net/website...req=www_contact Regards Charlie HTML: Code:
<div id="title" class="title_lower_color">
<div class="title">TITLE</div>
</div>
<div id="main">
<div class="grouptitle1">Group 1
<div class="grouptext1">blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

I've only just started using CSS rather than tables. The title bit is ok. The problem is the main <div>. In Firefox l can't seem to get the two divs (grouptitle1 & grouptitle2) to float side by side. The only way l can do it is by setting grouptitle2 to a certain width. But l want grouptitle2 to fill the remaining width of the screen whatever size the browser is and not be a set width. Is there any way so that l can make the two divs appear side by side without adding a width to the grouptitle2?? here's a working version: Clicky Here is the relevant HTML code: <table> <tr> <td> <div style="float:left;"> <div class="middle"><div class="r"><div class="l"> <a id="gridtitle" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="reload()"></a> </div></div></div> <div style="width: 200px;"> <a href="#" onclick="addheader()"><img border="0" src="tab_new_header.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> <a href="#" onclick="addfooter()"><img border="0" srctab_new_footer.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> </div> </div> <div style="float:right;"> <a href="#" onclick="javascript:toggleLayer('newgrid');"><img border="0" src="button_add.png" alt="Add a grid"/></a> <a href="#" onclick="deleteGrid()"><img border="0" src="button_delete.png" alt="Delete this grid"/></a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <div id="gridbox3" class="gridbox" width="870px" height="600px" style="background-color:white;"></div> </td> </tr> </table> And the relevant CSS code [which just sets the background of the tab]: .l {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg1.png) 0 0 no-repeat; height: 43px;} .r {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg2.png) 100% 0 no-repeat; height: 43px;} .middle {background: url(../../datadir/client/images/billinggrid/name_sidebg.png); height: 43px;} This is the output (i can't post images?) http://i34 [.] tinypic [.] com/4hpqag [.] png The first problem I am having is that the div my gridtitle (CIBC) is in does not set its width automatically to the text width. Instaed, it spans the whole table ... Position-wise, I would like the tab with "CIBC" to be to the far left, the header and footer tabs to be right of "CIBC" but still floating left, and the + and x signs to be floating right, all on the same line. Help? Thanks in advance. Well, I'm trying to make a comments-page for a certain thing, and I can't get the image to stop going over the bottom of the div, without using the min-height property. Can someone help?

This is my code essentially: <div id="bottom"> <div style="float:left">store hours</div> <img src="map"> <div style="float:right">contact info</div> </div> It looks fine in Safari but it messed up in Firefox. I fixed it a bit by adding overflow:auto to the parent item (bottom div), so it actually has the red background and doesn't collapse. I haven't yet uploaded that fix yet as the problem still isn't solved. Now the div is expanding too much because the 3 items aren't being displayed inline. In firefox the image is pushing the first div beneath it. Any solutions please? 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 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:

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 {

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 all, I have a bit of an odd situation (prob not odd if you seen it before but I have no clue why its doing it!).... 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. 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. 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. 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? 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;
}

}
.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! My home page at mypricesavings.com I would like to have the twitter banner under the headline to be in its own div. if you look at my style.css I have this code Code:
#twitter {
width:590px;
float:left;
background:#fff;
padding:10px;
font-size:1.05em;
line-height:1.5em;
margin: 10px 0;
}
Which in fact does what I need it to do when I then add the div to the index.php however, the store deals and matchups which is the featured div no longer floats to the right of the headline, it will drop all the way down and float next to the twitter. I do not understand how CSS exactly works and would like to know how to make the twitter be the way I would like it and have the featured work corectly too. thank you in advance for helping Derrick Basically, following link: www.projectfinalfantasy.com Works fine in FF but IE, it piles the divs under eachother, whether the float tag is applied or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Joe. Hi, this bug is driving me nuts. I don't know why it happens. All I know is that it is not even consistent. Here's a screenshot of the problem: http://www.argsoccertours.com/float-problem.jpg And here's the code for that part: Code: <p>The bus will take you to your hotel, where you can leave your luggage and take a shower.</p> <p>This day we suggest the Buenos Aires City Tour. Discover one of the most amazing cities in the world. Buenos Aires is a thoroughly modern city with more than 400 years of history. Visit Florida street, one of the most surprising pedestrian streets in South America. You don't want to miss Palermo Soho, the trendiest neighborhood in Argentina, where you will find tourists from all over the Globe;<img src="images/caption10.jpg" alt="Caminito" width="300" height="300" class="floatright" /> visit Puerto Madero, the preferred area for luxury offices and restaurants; and also check out San Isidro, the most exclusive neighborhood in Buenos Aires.</p> <p>You will also get to see Argentina's historic buildings, the <em>Casa Rosada</em> (which means "Pink House" and is the President's office), the <em>Obelisco</em> (a huge tower with a lot of history), and some of the oldest, yet best mantained museums and theaters in the world.</p> <p>Finish the day with a short visit to Recoleta, the neighborhood of choice for expats in Buenos Aires to have a good time and eat at the best restaurants.</p> <h2>Thursday, March 4 - <span class="redsubtitle">Practice + Palermo Soho + Recoleta</span></h2> <p>Your team will have a practice in the morning.

.floatright {
float: right;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
}
As you can see in the code, in both cases I insert the image the same way, but the first one looks OK and the second one doesn't. This happens on IE7 (not sure about other versions of IE), but for sure it doesn't happen on FF. Anybody has any clue on what could cause this? |
