Div goes to the next line in CSS [duplicate] - html

Two divs side by side - Fluid display [duplicate]
(9 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
Div with class name main goes to the next line. I don't need it. It's wrong. I've vertical navbar with display block. I don't know why it goes to the next line.
Here's HTML code:
/* Nav */
nav {
padding-left: 30px;
padding-top: 30px;
height: 100vw;
width: 290px;
border-right: 1px solid #333333;
}
.nav__link {
color: #FFFFFF;
width: 250px;
display: block;
border-radius: 8px;
padding: 6px 0px 6px 30px;
transition: background-color .2s linear;
font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
font-weight: 700;
font-size: 18px;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.nav__link:hover {
background-color: #707070;
}
/* Main */
.main {
margin-left: 300px;
}
<!-- Nav -->
<nav>
Project 1
Project 2
Project 3
Project 4
</nav>
<!-- Main -->
<div class="main">
<div class="project">
<h1 class="project__name">Project 1</h1>
<p class="project__description">Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing, elit. Facere voluptates sapiente soluta velit aliquid unde similique quas fugit animi, fugiat, non? At provident totam esse, molestias? Quos, quam. Adipisci, animi.</p>
</div>
</div>
Any ideas to solve this problem, guys?

Add display: flex; to their parent, which is currently <body>:
body {
display: flex;
}
block elements take up entire width, so nav will push the <div> to next line by default.
Side note: I recommend using more semantic elements like <aside> and <main>
/* Nav */
body {
display: flex;
}
nav {
padding-left: 30px;
padding-top: 30px;
height: 100vw;
width: 290px;
border-right: 1px solid #333333;
background: grey;
}
.nav__link {
color: #FFFFFF;
width: 250px;
display: block;
border-radius: 8px;
padding: 6px 0px 6px 30px;
transition: background-color .2s linear;
font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
font-weight: 700;
font-size: 18px;
margin-top: 20px;
}
.nav__link:hover {
background-color: #707070;
}
/* Main */
main {
margin-left: 300px;
}
<aside>
<nav>
Project 1
Project 2
Project 3
Project 4
</nav>
</aside>
<!-- Main -->
<main>
<div class="project">
<h1 class="project__name">Project 1</h1>
<p class="project__description">Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing, elit. Facere voluptates sapiente soluta velit aliquid unde similique quas fugit animi, fugiat, non? At provident totam esse, molestias? Quos, quam. Adipisci, animi.</p>
</div>
</main>

How can I position an elements header in the top right corner of the div at any media size?

I need help getting the header title (h2,h3,h4) region always appear in the top right corner of their respective div region, no matter what view is being displayed.
Also, the header content keeps overflowing as I shrink the web browser, how can I stop that from running over?
I tried moving the margins and the padding of the header, and the header won't move to the right past 350px.
I tried to adjust the size of the div to allow the header to move top right.
Should I have used the "section element" instead of div?
I haven't tried using absolute or relative positioning.

So, a few things to go over:
First off, you don't need to use different heading tags for the same hierarchical elements. You already have your first heading as your title, and since you don't have anything that follows you can stick with just <h2> from there.
We can use CSS specificity to target your various headings to change the colors as you prefer. You could also have done this with ids, classes, really there are several ways to approach any layout in CSS; this is just what I chose for simplicity.
floats are very outdated and have been replaced by flex-box techniques which we're going to use to position your headers on your menu items. Could we use position attributes? Sure. But if we're using flex already, we can take advantage of what it's capable of to position elements using a container element to house all of your items and then make the items themselves utilize flex as well.
We can use align-self: flex-end; to position your <h2> tags as needed and then add some margin to give them some breathing room away from the edges of the menuItems.
There's much more that can be done here, but I think this cleans it up quite nicely and you get a much simpler, more easily-responsive layout with less code and less attributes.
Hopefully, that covers everything. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for updating your post after my comment. Make sure to keep that in mind moving forward ;)

Image won't fill div

Did you try to just add:
.img-container {
position:relative
}
.img-container img {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
To define image size you can add for example:
.img-container {
position:relative;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
but be sure you add it to .img-container, not .img-container img. In .img-container you define size in pixels but in .img-container img you make it 100% for width and height to fill whole container
Try adding this:
.img-container {
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
.img-container img {
height: 100%;
min-width: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
position: absolute;

Oveflow hidden to hide any part of the picture that comes outside the container. Object-fit cover to make it cover the container. If you want smaller picture just specify height and width on the container.

Placing elements using CSS position-absolute

I'am triyng to make Link A,B goes inside to Left element (green box), and Link C,D goes inside to Right element (yellow box), wrapped by container.
As the picture show, also i managed placing Link C,D on the right side using CSS position: absolute; right: 0;
but when i using position: absolute; left: 0;for Link A,B this link is not on the left side aligned to upper elements
Picture
this is my code:
<head>
<style>
.container {
width: 1000px;
border: 3px solid black;
margin: auto;
padding: 16px;
}
.left, .right { width: 400px; }
.left {
background-color: #197b30;
float: left;
color: white;
font-style: italic;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
}
.left span {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: large;
font-style: normal;
text-decoration-line: underline;
}
.left ul {
color: rgb(243, 9, 126);
list-style-type: disc;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
}
.left a { color: #ff0000}
.right a { color: #ff0000}
.right {
background-color: #fff200;
float: right;
color: black;
font-style: italic;
text-align: right;
position: relative;
}
.right span {
font-weight: bold;

}
.right ul {
color: rgb(243, 9, 126);

clear: both;
}
</style>

</ul>
</div>
<div class="right">

<ul>
<li>Right Link C</li>
<li>Right Link D</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
When you are using the ul element there's a default padding on the left hand side of every li element.
Try this:
.left ul {
color: rgb(243, 9, 126);
list-style-type: disc;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
padding: 0; /* Add this */
}
That removes the padding and will position the navigation as you expect.

How to have footer at bottom without adding padding to body content

On my page the footer is right under the content, which makes perfect technical sense. However, since the content is short and doesn't fill the whole page, only half of it, this leaves the footer in the middle of the screen. I was wondering how to have the footer at the bottom of the page for whatever screen size it's viewed on. I know this can be done with padding to the body content, or margin on the footer, however I don't know if I could do that to adapt to every screen size. Any help would be appreciated!
CSS
footer {
background-color: #242424;
color: #fff;
margin-top: 50px;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
}
.search_wrapper {
display: inline-flex;
margin-top: 50px;
}
.search_ins {
font-size: 25px;
border: 1px solid #a6a6a6;
border-radius: 25px 0px 0px 25px;
padding: 3.2px 30px;
outline: 0;
width: 600px;
height: 100px;
}
.search_ins:hover .search_ins:focus {
border-color: #a6a6a6;
}
.search_button {
font-size: 30px;
border: 1px solid #a6a6a6;
border-left: 0;
padding: 0 12px;
color: #fff;
outline: 0;
border-radius: 0px 25px 25px 0px;
background-color: #fff;
cursor: pointer;
}
Easiest way to do this is using the vh unit for height of your main content. Assuming a structure similar to the below...
<main>Your content</main>
<footer>Footer</footer>
Set a min-height on your main content that's equal to 100% of you window minus your footer height.
main { min-height: calc(100vh - 60px); }
footer { height: 60px; }
Bam! Footer's always at the bottom, and you don't have to worry about padding, margins, or absolute positioning!
You need to display the parent of the footer as a column flexbox (column is a must because you need the flex items to stack vertically not horizontally); then set the margin-top of the footer to auto.
html,
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
.text-center {
text-align: center;
}
.page-wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
main {
padding: 0 15px;
}
footer {
background-color: #242424;
color: #fff;
padding: 15px 0;
margin-top: auto;
}
<div class="page-wrapper">

site doesn't scale properly

When I scale my site down or view on mobile/tablet, there is all of this margin/whitespace on right side and it cuts off text content in #main section. Why is this happening and how can I make it all scale correctly? I have tried overflow hidden on various parts which didn't solve anything and I have tried zeroing out margins and messing with padding. I'm unsure how to make it scale correctly and get rid of that extra margin/space on the right. There isnt much yet, only header, nav and #main section.
Thank you for your help in advance

Your main issue is you're not letting bootstrap take care of margins padding with rows and columns properly. In order to fix this immediate issue you have two problems:
First,
http://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#grid-media-queries
#main .container {
margin-top: 55px;
margin-left: 150px;
}
Is getting in the way. Let the .container class take care of itself. It uses media queries to accurately define the margin-left at different widths. What you've done here is hard code it to always be 150px, and on an iphone that is most of the screen.
Second,
http://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#grid
Container > rows > columns.
You are missing a row class here:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8" id="welcome-text">
