I experienced a problem with placing divs. The divs "menu" and "content" are meant to be next to each other. They were, until i tried to set their width using % instead of px. After applying that change the effect of 'float: left;' was cancelled. I tried changing the order of parameters in css file, but it didn't work. I want them to maintain the 20/80 ratio, while still being next to each other. Can i achieve that using this method, or am i missing some information, and these can't be used on the same div?
#menu {
background-color: lightgray;
width: 20%;
min-height: 600px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
float: left;
}
#content {
background-color: gray;
width: 80%;
min-height: 600px;
padding: 10px;
float: left;
}
<div id="menu">
menu
</div>
<div id="content">
content
</div>
Seems like your padding is breaking the line because you are filling the 100% of the space.
See https://jsfiddle.net/6dfs27u8/1/
#menu{
float: left;
background-color: lightgray;
width: 20%;
text-align: center;
height: 600px;
}
#content
{
float: right;
background-color: gray;
width: 80%;
height: 600px;
}

I have two containers, one has a width of 30% and the other has a width of 70% however they are not inline, instead one moves lower and by passes the other container as seen in the screenshot below how can i fix this?
main {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
padding: 10px;
float: right;
width: 70%;
}
aside {
text-align: center;
background-color: #c4c4c4;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
width: 30%;
}
Here is the Screenshot

Thanks
Try giving .main box-sizing: border-box;
.main {
box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
padding: 10px;
float: right;
width: 70%;
}
This way you tell the browser to account for padding, you can read more about it in the docs.
The padding actually increases the box width and height
Here i removed the padding and added some height just to see the boxes.
.main {
background-color: #f2f2f2;
height:100px;
float: right;
width: 70%;
}
.aside {
text-align: center;
background-color: #c4c4c4;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
height:100px;
width: 30%;
}
<div class="main"></div>
<div class="aside"> </div>

How to place two divs next to each other? [duplicate]
(13 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I'm creating a webpage and trying to create the basic outline of my site by using div tags, however, I made a side-navigation div and body div. The size of my site is 1500px width and 1000px height, the side-navigation is 300px and body is 1200px.
I thought this would place them side by side, but, the body div, for some reason, went underneath the side-navigation div.
<body>
<div id="encase">
<div id="topNav">
<p> topNav </p>
</div>
<div id="header">
<p> header</p>
</div>
<div id="wholeBody">
<div id="sideNav">
<p> sideNav </p>
</div>
<div id="body1">
<p> body1 </p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p> footer </p>
</div>
</div>
and this is the css
<style>
#encase {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#header {
background-color:black;
width: 1490px;
height:110px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 5px;
}
#topNav {
background-color:green;
width: 1490px;
height: 50px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 5px;
}
#wholeBody {
background-color: red;
width: 1490px;
height: 690px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 5px;
}
#sideNav {
background-color: yellow;
width: 290px;
height: 690px;
/*margin-left: 10.25%;*/
padding: 5px;
}
#body1 {
background-color: purple;
width: 1190px;
height: 690px;
margin-left: 16%;
padding: 5px;
}
#footer {
background-color: blue;
width: 1490px;
height: 110px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 5px;
}
</style>
I tried to do this using percentages as well, but, percentages don't seem to work properly for me. Does anyone have any idea of how to solve my problem? Thank You.
Float your side nav to left. This should fix your problem.
#sideNav {
background-color: yellow;
width: 290px;
height: 690px;
float: left;
padding: 5px;
}
Divs are block elements - this means that, by default, each new div will start on a new line. So we need to cancel that behavior via CSS. We can use the "float" property to make the divs move next to each other:
#sideNav {
background-color: yellow;
width: 290px;
height: 690px;
/*margin-left: 10.25%;*/
padding: 5px;
float: left;
}
Once you add in the float, you can switch this all back to % and it will work fine, too.
In the future, I would encourage you to look at HTML5, if possible, as it has better tag names that can reduce the number of divs you are using. This makes for cleaner, more readable code.
Just include a float:left inside your sideNav class in order to push the other div to the right,
fiddle url: https://jsfiddle.net/eugensunic/j030jyjm/
#sideNav {
float:left;
background-color: yellow;
width: 290px;
height: 690px;
/*margin-left: 10.25%;*/
padding: 5px;
}
Your calculation about the width is wrong, you are using margin-left: 16% in #body1 which is one of the factors causing this problem otherwise float:left would have fixed the problem.

For some reason, the bottom section of my layout doesn't seem to be centered when I have set the left and right margin to auto
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/kvtcp
Please see the example.
I have since changed the code with some example you have provide but I have another issue. The bottom div has pushed up to left and right section div?
I have used margin-top 20px and nothing happens
Regards
Just remove:
float:left
from the .bottomsection class
and add
clear:both;
instead...
This is occuring because you have the div set to float left and the screen is the left edge.
Your divs above have margin left to pad them in.
I would suggest center your container.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/sHvCA
body{
background:#90F;
}
#container {
width: 1000px;
height: 1200px;
padding-top: 25px;
overflow: auto;
margin:0 auto;
}
.header {
width: 800px;
height: 100px;
}
.leftimage {
float: left;
}
.middle {
height: 200px;
background:#FFF;
width: 800px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.leftsection {
width: 300px;
background-color: #FFF;
height: 400px;
margin-top: 10px;
float: left;
margin-left: 100px;
}
.rightsection {
background-color: #0F0;
height: 400px;
width: 479px;
float: left;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.bottomsection {
clear:both;
height: 200px;
background: #FFF;
width: 800px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
</style>
That is because you have float:left; on it. Remove that, and add clear:both; instead.
I would recommend wrapping the left and right floated divs in another div, and apply overflow:hidden on the outer div for better control.
Ok,
remove the float from your bottom div.
.bottomsection {
height: 200px;
background: #FFF;
width: 800px;
/*float: left;*/
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
And in your HTML you have to clear the floats with i.e
<div class="leftsection"></div>
<div class="rightsection"></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div class="bottomsection"></div>
This is a quick and dirty solution.
Here is a good link i.e. about floating div´s
http://css-tricks.com/all-about-floats/
It is floating for no reason and this causes showing up on the left side. Remove that. This time it should be fine, but you won't be able to see it because it has nothing in it. Add overflow:hidden; to avoid this. Then you might want to give some margin as well. And please keep in mind, use floats wise, not every problem requires float.
I would like to have two divs sit next to each other. Both divs have their width set to a certain percentage. Between the two divs I want a fixed width margin of 20px. The width of div1 and div2 and the 20px margin should add up to 100% of the available space. (See screenshot below)
Heres a basic jsfiddle to get started: jsfiddle
code for jsfiddle link to work
Is this possible without javascript?
Easiest, safest way I know to do something like this is a nested <div>, using the outside div as a container for layout purposes. See here: http://jsfiddle.net/u7VzB/1/
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="div1">div#1</div>
<div id="div2">
<div>div#2 inner</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#container
{
color: white;
margin-top: 50px;
}
#div1
{
float: left;
width: 30%;
background-color: black;
}
#div2
{
float: left;
width: 70%;
}
#div2 > div {
margin-left: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
You can also do something like this without disturbing HTML code:
#container {
color: white;
margin-top: 50px;
position: relative;
}
#div1 {
float: left;
width: 30%;
background-color: black;
}
#div2 {
float: left;
position:absolute;
left: 30%;
margin-left: 20px;
right: 0px;
background-color: blue;
}
Working Fiddle
try by setting float left, right and reduce the width
#container
{
color: white;
margin-top: 50px;
}
#div1
{
float: left;
width: 29%;
background-color: black;
}
#div2
{
float: right;
width: 69%;
background-color: blue;
}
I have a header on my site, and this has a container and three divs.
The heading container is 100px high.
The first div floats to the left and has a width of 150px
The second div floats to the right and has a width of 150px
The third div has another div inside it, and by default resizes to fill the remaining space.
I want the third div to center vertically. When I add display: table-cell and vertical-align: middle the div shrinks to the size of the text. I can only resize the div using a fixed size.
<div id="#headingcontainer">
<div class="leftimg">Left</div>
<div class="rightimg">Right</div>
<div class="heading">Content to be centered horizontally and vertically</div>
</div>
#headingcontainer
{
border: none;
border-bottom: 2px solid #8c8cd4;
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #000;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
div.heading
{
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
width: auto;
}
div.leftimg
{
width: 150px;
float: left;
}
div.rightimg
{
width: 150px;
float: right;
}
Can anyone let me know how I can center the middle div without knowing the exact width?
If I take out the display: table-cell from the heading class it is no longer centered vertically but is horizontally.
I think this might be what you're looking for... I changed div.header in the css to have padding on top, removed the table-cell and also set the margin to auto instead of width auto. See if this is what you were hoping for. You will have to adjust the padding on top depending on the spacing but this seems like the easiest way to me.
#headingcontainer
{
border: none;
border-bottom: 2px solid #8c8cd4;
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #000;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
div.heading
{
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
padding-top:40px;
}
div.leftimg
{
width: 150px;
float: left;
}
div.rightimg
{
width: 150px;
float: right;
}
<div id="headingcontainer">
<div class="leftimg">Left</div>
<div class="rightimg">Right</div>
<div class="heading">Content to be centered horizontally and vertically</div>
</div>
I have now found an answer that works for me.
First a small change to the HTML (two extra divs in the heading):
<div id="#headingcontainer">
<div class="leftimg">Left</div>
<div class="rightimg">Right</div>
<div class="heading"><div><div>Content to be centered horizontally and vertically<div></div></div>
</div>
Then change to the CSS:
#headingcontainer
{
border: none;
border-bottom: 2px solid #8c8cd4;
background-color: #000;
margin-bottom: 10px;
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
}
div.heading
{
display: table;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
}
div.heading div
{
display: table-row;
}
div.heading div div
{
display: table-cell;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
This allows the final div contain the text to be both centered vertically and also horizontally. The help came from another Stack Overflow question I found after more searching - 818725.
