CSS - A Little Help With My Css Divs And Floats Please
I thought I'd got this CSS stuff figured out but now I'm stuck again. I want the last div on this page to be alongside the one above it, but can I get the b****** thing to go there? No!
Link I just want them side-by-side with a nice centered gap between them. Can you help? Thanks, John. Similar TutorialsI'm having some issues with my images showing up properly in IE6. They look fine in Safari & Firefox. Basically there is a container div and then individual divs that display an album cover along with a description. In IE6, the images aren't in the divs, but are at the top. Anyone know what the fix is? #container { padding: 0px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; background: #333; border: 0px; text-align:center; width: 635px; } #center { padding: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; background: #666; border: 2px solid #000000; text-align:left; width: 610px; } #container p.album-cover { float:left; padding:0; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 0px; } #container .album-info { ... just font properties; } Code: <?php loop through albums to display each one; ?> <div id="center"> <p class="album-cover"> <?php <a href="..."><img src="..." ></a> ?> </p> <p class="album-info"> <?php ..description... ?> </p> </div> ?> I swear that I really am learning a great deal about CSS but you wouldn't think so as many threads as I've started in the past few days... Anyhow, consider the following code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>My site</title> <style type="text/css"> #base { clear: both; padding-top: 1px; border-top: 1px solid #ffffff; border-bottom: 1px solid #ffffff; width: 100%; background: #00ff00; } /* end #base */ #main { background: #0000ff; margin: auto; text-align: left; width: 800px; } /* end #main*/ #content { background: #ffffff; border-left: 1px solid #0000ff; padding-top: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em; border-right: 1px solid #0000ff; } /* end #content */ #bottom_part { padding: 0; line-height: 130%; padding-left: 1em; padding-right: 1em; display: block; margin: 0; border: 0; clear: both; } /* end #bottom_part */ #column_a { padding: 1em; margin: 0; float: left; width: 33%; } /* end #column_a */ #column_b { margin-left: 33%; margin-right: 33%; padding: 1em; padding-right: 0; width: 25%; } /* end #column_b */ #column_c { display: block; float: right; padding: 1em; width: 33%; } /* end #column_c */ #bottom { background: #ff0000; border: none; } /* end #bottom */ .header { font-weight: bold; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="base"> <div id="main"> <div id="content"> <div id="bottom_part"> <div id="column_a"> <p class="header">Column A</p> <p>A - A</p> <p>A - B</p> <p>A - C</p> </div> <div id="column_c"> <p class="header">Column C</p> <p>C - A</p> <p>C - B</p> <p>C - C</p> <p>C - D</p> <p>C - E</p> <p>C - F</p> </div> <div id="column_b"> <p class="header">Column B</p> <p>B - A</p> <p>B - B</p> <p>B - C</p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="bottom"> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> The problem is that the content in Column C does not completely render inside the white box. The same problem occurs when the content is really long in Column A. Column B will extend the height of the white box and I'm certain it is because there is no float style associated with it. How can I achieve this for the other two columns? Removing the floats will do the trick but will also place the columns on top of each other. Hi all, I'm a beginner to floating divs etc. so I've been following a tutorial to get what I need and I'm tweaking it here and there. Trouble is I've obviously tweaked something incorrectly. The two column's in the contentHoldingDiv don't line up correctly. Does anyone feel like taking a look at my code and telling me what I've done wrong (any other comments freely welcomed - it's the only way I'll learn).

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 Hello, not sure I know how to explain this. I have a page that I want to divide in two parts. To do so I am using floats. The problem is that the content in one div is not the same as the content in the other div and therefore the height of the two floated div is different from one another. However, I want that the div's have a border that seperates them and I would like this border to be from top to bottom of the containing div regardless of which of the two floated div is the highest. I could do this with javascript but I would like to know if there is some pure html/css option. Here is my example; Code: <html> <head> <style> .main { margin: 0px auto; width: 800px; border: 2px solid red; } .wrap:after{ content: "."; display: block; position:relative; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; } .wrap{ display: inline-block; } /* Hides from IE-mac \*/ * html .wrap{height: 1%;} div.wrap{display: block;} /* End hide from IE-mac */ .left { float: left; width: 100px; } .right { float: left; width: 680px; border: 10px solid blue; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="main"> <div class="wrap"> <div class="left">My left div has more.<br/>more..<br /><br />more...<br /><br /><br />lines then the right one</div> <div class="right">My Right div has only one line but need border till down there ...</div> </div> </div> </body> </html> As you can see in the example the border of the right div does not go down till the bottom border of the main div. I have a positioning puzzle for you. It's as part of a web design assignment, so broad accessibility is not required. even working on IE is not required. YES! here is the problem, explained by means of an image. because a picture speaks a thousand words. so they say. [IMG](URL address blocked: See forum rules)[/IMG] Any assistance or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. 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.

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. 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? This may be a stupid question, but I recently noticed something with floats and side by side elements that confuses me. I thought you always had to specify a width when it came to floating elements along side each other, as block level elements inherit 100% width usually. But on the last 2 sites I coded, I was able to float divs without specifying a fixed width. The div boxes only took up the width of there content. Worked in FF, Chrome, Safari, IE7/8. This is great, as it saves time, but makes no sense. Am I confused? 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. Hi All, I am almost tearing he little hair I have left out! I can't get the div in the middle to clear the floats. Works just lovely in FF, but that IE thing won't work!!! Grrree http://www.tuxdiscs.com/sscp7b/ Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks After fighting with JS to get scrolling content to work, I now have a problem with IE8/9, where a wide div bleeds outside of containing div. Works fine in FF and Chrome code and css are in http://rentz.phi.co.uk/testanimate.html Any ideas? 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.

Hello everyone, Newbie here Can anyone show me how to CSS objects or text inline horizontally in the banner/header such as at the top of this forum? My banner/header uses large text for a logo on the left, and I would like to put a search form or something on the right side of the header. Do I have to declare the width of each? See how much newbie I am? Thanks for any help. Ken 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 Can you guys tell me why code below does not show properly in firefox 2 when it shows up right in IE7? If I add clear:both to footer then it displays right, but should not it show it alongside the div #2 anyways?
