CSS - Force 2 Div's To Be On The Same Line Using Css
how can i keep these 2 divs i have on the same line, i tried min-width for the div they are in and it works perfect but IE doesn't support it, i even tried a extra div to use as a spacer but IE seems to make keep them on the same line even though there is already enough space for it, here is the html i'm using
Code: <div id="ms_all" ><!-- Start all mapserver --> <div id="ms_main_map_div"> <input alt="Map" id="ms_main_image" type="image" name="mapa" src="map_img.phtml?[data_to_img]" /> </div> <div id="ms_side_bar" > <!-- A bunch of form stuff --> </div><!-- End Side Bar --> </div><!-- End all mapserver --> and here is the css Code: #ms_all { /*padding:5px;*/ height:610px; min-width:810px; position:relative; } #ms_main_map_div { padding:2px; left:5px; float:left; /*top:2px;*/ width:600px; } #ms_main_image { cursor:crosshair; width:600px; height:600px; } #ms_side_bar { right:2px; float:right; padding-top:20px; /*top:10px;*/ padding:2px; width:200px; /*clear:both;*/ } i want the 'ms_main_map_div' and the 'ms_side_bar' to be on the same line, but the 'ms_side_bar' stuff keeps jumping to the bottom of the page if it doesn't fit in the window, so does anyone know of a way to get IE to display this the right way or maybe make IE support the min-width thing, preferably keeping my CSS and XHTML valid Similar TutorialsI heve three images - all in their own div - across the page. I want these images centered. I then want text UNDER these images. As you can see in my page, the text is actually starting to the right of my images. Why is this happening? http://69.89.31.86/~gentryfo/ Thanks. I have some code like this: Code: <a href="">My Link is Long</a> <a href="">My Link is Longer Than Yours</a> The second link is coming at the end of a line and is breaking to the next line in the middle. Is there a way to force the entire <a> tag to go to the next line if it wont all fit on the current line? something like Code: a { behavior-when-getting-split-lines: do-not-split; } Here is a snippet of the DIV I am working on. Regardless of what I put in between the h-2 tags, I would like the box to be 320 pixels wide instead of only being as wide as the text within the h-2 tags. I have ended up padding the h-2 content with blank spaces to widen it out. There must be a cleaner solution? Code: <div id="box_header"> <h2>Make This 320 pixels wide?</h2> </div> Code: #box_header h2{ color:#359764; line-height: 35px; font-size: 14px; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; border: double #5B85C5; display:inline; font-weight: bold; width: 320px; } Pretty Common issue.... I think... I need my div's background to go all the way down the page.... even on small pages!! Here is an example... Sign Up Page I hate it when browsers jump when the scrollbar appears on a longer page. Is there any way to force scrollbars to stay on the page on all browsers? Hello all. I have a site with 2 columns. I would like the left column to be the same height as the right column. The right column will always be longer than the left.

I have a div like this: Code: <div class="image_box"> <img src=""> </div> I have a border and background-color going on w/the div, but I want it to only be as wide as the image. It is stretching as wide as the screen. How do I force it shrink down and only be as big as the image that is inside of it? This should be simple, I just don't know how to do it. Thanks. What I have: I have a <div id="content"> that contains the main content of the site. In this <div> I have two other <div>s that are arranged in columns, using float. The left column forms the Navigation for the site and is surrounded by a black border. Here is the problem: If the content on the right is small, the border on the left stretches from top to bottom (since the left div controls the height). However, when there is a lot of content on the right, the border on the left only surrounds the content of the left div and leaves space underneath the bottom border-line. My question: Is there a way to "stretch" the left div so the border touches the top of its parent div on top and the bottom of its parent div on the bottom? Or in other words: Can I force the left div to have the same height as the right div? Here is an example of what I have right now (before tackling the problem): CSS: Code: #content { width: 800px; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #contentNav { width: 140px; float: left; border: thin solid black; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #contentMain { width: 600px; float: right; margin: 0; padding: 0; } HTML: Code: <div id="content"> <div id="contentNav"> <a href="">Link1</a><br /> <a href="">Link2</a><br /> <a href="">Link3</a><br /> </div> <div id="contentMain"> <p>Here comes a lot of text that spans over many lines. </div> </div> Suppose this: ----- Header Div Content Dive Footer Div ----- Is there a way to force a footer div to the bottom of the window even when there isn't enough content above to fill the window? Maybe some way to "pad" the content div? Hi everyone I am running a blog that uses xhtml and css style sheets to generate templates. I have about 10 templates that I would like to switch to and from. I want to add a banner on the bottom of the page, but I cannot figure out how to do it correctly. If I add it to the footer templates, before the </body> tag, it does not always come out correctly. Sometimes it the banner ends up in the 3rd column over to the right, sometimes the banner is obscured by the body of the main column. I am trying to find a way to forcefully push the banner to the bottom of the page, below all of the text that is generated. I was thinking that perhaps javascript could be used to force a banner underneath, but I am not too familiar with the sort of code that is in my blog. any ideas? thanks Roy Hi all, I made a recent post having trouble with a three column layout. Its not really had much attention however it wasn't really clear what i was asking. I wanted the two outside columns which only contained background images to be hiden in the background from the viewpoint. You can see my original post here, it includes two diagrams: http://forums.devshed.com/css-help-...ion-584924.html Now I have edited the layout to a single column and used the images on the sides as borders. I am still having the same problem so I am now wandering if I can force the browser to centre on the main column... This would leave overhang on ether side but its only images to make the site look better. Currently the site will look good using a wide resolution but on standard 1024x768 i want the centre of the column to be in the middle of the browser window on load. Can I do it with css? javascript or ajax? If in javascript or ajax could you please like me a tutorial or something as i have no ability in those categories! Any help is great. Cheers. Greetings, I have a class called "header" and I am trying to give it a touch of extra space between it and the next line. All of my headers are just a few words and thus on one line. I tried placing "line-height: 1.5em" in my "header" class and it shows up correctly in Dreamweaver but not in IE. My thought is, because it is only a single line, that class value does not kick in because there is no second line for that class. Is there a way to conrol this in CSS or am I going to have to resort to using a....gulp.....spacer? Thanks in advance! Greetings, I am relatively new to CSS and am using background image bullets. Problem is, in the case of a two line link, the bullet aligns in between the two lines and I need it to align to the top line. Below is the CSS, and attached is a screenshot of the link to better illustrate my predicament. Thanks for any help! li { list-style-type: none; background: url(../images/bullet.gif) no-repeat left; padding: 0 0 0 10px; } I've got two lines of text. Want the spacing the two lines to increase, so I set a line-height. When I do this, not only does it increase space between the two lines, it also increases spacing above the first line (and maybe below the second). How can I increase spacing between the two lines only, without increasing above and below? Thanks! 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! justin I have set font size to 8px, and IE, FF, Safari and Chrome all respect this and size the font to the value in question, but Opera refuses to comply. When I tested it, I've found out it wont show fonts that are smaller than 10px or 1em. Is there a way to force Opera to display fonts less than 10px or 1em? Is there any way to force a background color to print in all browsers or at least IE & FF? In the past I have just used an actual image; instead of a background color, but I was wondering if there was a 100% sure way to do this. I tried using media="print" and !import - neither of these worked. So if there is a will, place let me know the way. How could I Force a parent div to vertically expand to size of its child div? Thanks in advance, Richard Carson Okay here's the problem, I have used px instead of % and I have a feeling it's ruined my whole site because of the fact that users can set their font size custom which TOTALLY messes up margins and things that I have set so precisely. Here is my site: www.msredimp.000webhost.info At small it works perfectly and the forms stay all normal, but when it's increased or decreased it totally ruins it. Is there a way to force the settings in Mozilla to normal size? Or any other way? Thank you, and sorry for being such a newbie.
