I currently have an event tracker made using html and css. My issue is that I would like to get ride of display: flex; due to browser-compatibility issues. Is there an alternative to achieve the same result? I tried using display:inline-block because without flex all steps were coming in different lines.
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="row event">
<div class="col-xs-3 event-step">
<p class="event-stepnum">Step 1</p>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-bar"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3 event-step complete">
<p class="event-stepnum">Step 2</p>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-bar"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-3 event-step">
<p class="event-stepnum">Step 3</p>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-bar"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.event > .event-step {
padding: 0;
position: relative;
}
.event > .event-step .event-stepnum {
color: #595959;
font-size: 16px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.steps .step-on,
.steps .step-done {
background-color: #1b7e28;
color: #1b7e28;
border: 1px solid transparent;
}
.progress {
position: relative;
border-radius: 0px;
height: 5px;
box-shadow: none;
margin: 20px 0;
}
.progress > .progress-bar {
width: 0px;
box-shadow: none;
background: #fbe8aa;
}
.event-step.complete > .progress > .progress-bar {
width: 100%;
}
.row {
display:flex;
}
JSFiddle Demo
Just replace the display:flex by display:inline-block and give your step divs a fixed width:
.event > .event-step {
padding: 0;
position: relative;
width: 200px;
}
.row {
display: inline-block;
}

Thank you!
You'll need to add display:table to the .widgetable.
Since you're using table-row, using table on the parent element helps in mimicking a table structure.
After adding that, just do a quick spelling fix -- you have widgettable (with two T's) in the css, and a class named widgetable (with one T) on your actual element.
.widgetright {
border-bottom: 1px solid #b7b7b7;

.widgettext {
font-size: 16px;

I have a group of stats styled as shown below, but if I want to center the group, it will use the width of the descriptions that extend past and have a larger width. What's the easiest way to center according to the width of just the stat numbers and still have the descriptions below them?
.container {
text-align: center;
}
.stats {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto 30px auto;
}
.left-stats {
text-align: right;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 40px;
}
.left-stats .single-stat {
text-align: right;
}
.right-stats {
display: inline-block;
}
.right-stats .single-stat {
text-align: left;
}
.single-stat {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.number {
font: 60px"Bebas Neue";
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: -5px;
}
<div class="container">
<h3>Header</h3>
<div class="stats">

I have a solution using your HTML and using display: table-cell instead of display: inline-block. Instead of a 40px margin to create the space between the columns, I added 20px left/right padding in the relevant elements.
Note that I added dotted blue borders for demonstration purposes, you can remove them.
.container {
text-align: center;
}
.stats {
display: table;
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto 30px auto;
border: 1px dotted blue;
}
.left-stats {
text-align: right;
display: table-cell;
width: 50%;
padding-right: 20px;
border: 1px dotted blue;
}
.left-stats .single-stat {
text-align: right;
}
.right-stats {
display: table-cell;
width: 50%;
padding-left: 20px;
border: 1px dotted blue;
}
.right-stats .single-stat {
text-align: left;
}
.single-stat {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.number {
font: 60px"Bebas Neue";
font-weight: bold;
margin-bottom: -5px;
}
<div class="container">
<h3>Header</h3>
<div class="stats">
<div class="left-stats">
<div class="single-stat">
<div class="number">1,200</div>
<div class="desc">Staff on campus supported</div>

You mean something like this?

text-align: center;
}
I have a HTML structure with given CSS.
Both caption and progress elements should be rendered in same line. caption elements should not have fixed width and progress elements should fill up the rest of the space next to caption based on their inline-set width, which means that every progress element will have a different total pixel-width but should fill up only the given percentage of available space.
HTML structure and CSS rules can be changed in any way.
Is it possible to solve this problem with CSS only?

Have you considered using Flexbox?
Just add this rule:
.row {
display: flex;
}
If your are concerned about browser support, an alternative would be using display:table. You should change your markup and CSS, like this:
.table {
border: 1px solid black;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 15px;
width: 280px;
}
.inner-table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.caption {
display: table-cell;
white-space: nowrap;
width: 1%;
}
.progress {
background-color: green;
border: 1px solid white;
border-radius: 4px;
display: table-cell;
height: 14px;
}
.value {
margin-left: 5px;
display:block;
width:0;
overflow: visible;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="inner-table">
<div class="row">
<div class="caption">Short text: </div>
<div style="width:1.65%" class="progress">
<span class="value">1.65</span>
</div>
<div class="remainder"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="inner-table">
<div class="row">
<div class="caption">A bit longer text: </div>
<div style="width:100%" class="progress">
<span class="value">100.00</span>
</div>
<div class="remainder"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="inner-table">
<div class="row">
<div class="caption">X: </div>
<div class="progress" style="width:45.50%">
<span class="value">45.50</span>
</div>
<div class="remainder"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Please try this - padding-right: 5px; display:inline; add these properties in progress class and also remove width in progress.
Well, just for the future reference, I was playing a bit with the flexbox thingie and came up with this:
.table {
padding: 15px;
width: 280px;
border: 1px solid black;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
.row {
display: flex;
}
.caption {
margin: 1px 5px 1px 0;
}
.progress {
flex-grow: 1;
margin: auto;
}
.progress-content {
height: 14px;
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: green;
}
.value {
margin-left: 5px;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="caption">Short text:</div>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-content" style="width:11.65%">
<span class="value">11.65</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="caption">A bit longer text:</div>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-content" style="width:100%">
<span class="value">100.00</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="caption">X:</div>
<div class="progress">
<div class="progress-content" style="width:45.50%">
<span class="value">45.50</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
If I get a solution without flexbox, will accept it as an answer :)
I have the following code:
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
}
.colspan2 {
/* What to do here? */
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan2">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Pretty straightforward. How do I add a colspan (or the equivalent of colspan) for elements with display: table-cell?
As far as I know, the lack of colspan/rowspan is just one of the limitations of display:table. See this post:
http://www.onenaught.com/posts/201/use-css-displaytable-for-layout
Since OP does not explicitly rule that solution must be pure CSS, I'll be stubborn and throw in my workaround I figured out today, especially since it's much more elegant than having a table inside a table.
Example equals to <table> with two cells per row and two rows, where the cell in the second row is a td with colspan="2".
I have tested this with Iceweasel 20, Firefox 23 and IE 10.
div.table {
display: table;
width: 100px;
background-color: lightblue;
border-collapse: collapse;
border: 1px solid red;
}
div.row {
display: table-row;
}
div.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid red;
}
div.colspan,
div.colspan+div.cell {
border: 0;
}
div.colspan>div {
width: 1px;
}
div.colspan>div>div {
position: relative;
width: 99px;
overflow: hidden;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">cell 1</div>
<div class="cell">cell 2</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan">
<div><div>
cell 3
</div></div>
</div>
<div class="cell"></div>
</div>
</div>
Live action (demo) here.
EDIT:
I finetuned the code to be more printer-friendly, as they leave background-colors out by default. I also created rowspan-demo, inspired by late answer here.
A simpler solution that works for me in Chrome 30 :
Colspan can be emulated by using display: table instead of display: table-row for the rows :
.table {
display: block;
}
.row {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
}
.row.colspan2 {/* You'll have to add the 'colspan2' class to the row, and remove the unused <div class=cell> inside it */
display: block;
}
The only pitfall is that the cells of stacked rows won't align vertically, as they're from different tables.
If you're looking for a straight CSS way to simulate a colspan, you could use display: table-caption.
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
.colspan2 {
/* What to do here? */
display: table-caption;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan2">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Simply use a table.
table's are only frowned upon when being used for layout purposes.
This seems like tabular data (rows/columns of data). Therefore I would recommend using a table.
See my answer to this question for more information:
creating the same thing with divs as tables
Here's one way to span columns in CSS I used for my own situation.
https://jsfiddle.net/mb8npttu/
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px dotted red;
}
.colspan {
max-width: 1px;
overflow: visible;
}
<div class='table'>
<div class='row'>
<div class='cell colspan'>
spanning
</div>
<div class='cell'></div>
<div class='cell'></div>
</div>
<div class='row'>
<div class='cell'>1</div>
<div class='cell'>2</div>
<div class='cell'>3</div>
</div>
</div>
There is a solution to make the colspan the widht of the entire table. You can not use this technique to colspan a part of the table.
Code:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.table {
display: table;
position: relative;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid red;
padding: 5px;
text-align: center;
}
.colspan {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.dummycell {
border-color: transparent;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell dummycell"> </div>
<div class="cell colspan">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Explanation:
We use position absolute on the colspan to make it the full width of the table. The table itself needs position relative. We make use of a dummycell to maintain the height of the rows, position absolute does not follow the flow of the document.
Of course you can also use flexbox and grid to tackle this problem these days.
CSS
.tablewrapper {
position: relative;
}
.table {
display: table;
position: relative
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
border: 1px solid red;
display: table-cell;
}
.cell.empty
{
border: none;
width: 100px;
}
.cell.rowspanned {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100px;
}
.cell.colspan {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
HTML
<div class="tablewrapper">
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell rowspanned">
Center
</div>
<div class="cell">
Top right
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell empty"></div>
<div class="cell colspan">
Bottom right
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Code
It can be done just with pure CSS and centering the text across the "fake" colspan.
The trick is to set the rows to position:relative, then to place "empty divs" in the row where you want to make the colspan (they must have height in order to work), set the cell where the content is in as display:grid, and finally, applying position:absolute to the element inside the cell (and center it as you may center any other absolute element).
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
position: relative;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
background-color: blue;
color: white;
height: 26px;
padding: 0 8px;
}
.colspan2 {
display: grid;
}
.colspan2 p {
position:absolute;
left: 50%;
transform:translateX(-50%);
margin: 0;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan2"><p>Cell</p></div>
<div class="cell"></div>
</div>
</div>
By using the appropriate div classes and CSS attributes, you can mimic the desired effects of the colspan and rowspan.
Here's the CSS
.table {
display:table;
}
.row {
display:table-row;
}
.cell {
display:table-cell;
padding: 5px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Here's the sample HTML
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">X</div>
<div class="cell">Y</div>

From what I'm seeing in both the questions, and most responses, is people seem to forget that in any given div that's acting as a "table-cell" you can insert another div that's acting like an embedded table, and start the process over.
***It's not glamorous, but it does work for those looking for this type of formatting and they want to avoid the TABLEs. If its for DATA LAYOUT, TABLEs do still work in HTML5.
Hopefully, this will help someone.
You can set the position of colspan content as "relative" and the row as "absolute" like this:
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
position: relative;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
}
.colspan2 {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
You can't achieve this at present.
AFAIK this would be covered by CSS Tables, a specification which appears to currently be at "work in progress" state.
You can try this solution, where you can find how to apply colspan using div

Use nested tables to nest column spans...
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Or use 2 tables where the column span covers the whole row...
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
Even if this is an old question, I would like to share my solution to this problem.
<div class="table">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
<div class="cell">Cell</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell colspan">
<div class="spanned-content">Cell</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<style>
.table {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.cell {
display: table-cell;
}
.colspan:after {
/* What to do here? */
content: "c";
display: inline;
visibility: hidden;
}
.spanned-content {
position: absolute;
}
</style>
Here is a fiddle.
It's not really a span, and the solution is a bit hacky, but it is usefull in some situations. Tested on Chrome 46, Firefox 31 and IE 11.
In my case, I had to present some non-tabular data in a tabular way, keeping the width of the columns and giving title to sub-sections of the data.
