How to place two elements side by side in one div? [duplicate] - html

Question

This question already has answers here:
Float 2 elements side by side inside a container div
(2 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I have loop that goes trough all pictures that I have and displays them. I would like to display them in one row, from left to right, but with css that I have is displaying them one under other. I have use flow but not sure if I used it correctly.
Here is my code:
.column.is-narrow {
float: right;
}
.box {
float: right;
}
<div class="column">
<div class="columns" ng-repeat="a in $ctrl.f">
<div class="column is-narrow">
<div class="box" style="width: 200px;">
<p class="title is-5">{{album}}</p>
<figure class="image is-128x128">
<!--<img ng-src="{{src}}"> remove and replaced for demo purpose-->
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/128x128" />
</figure>
<p class="subtitle">{{person}}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I am aware that my css is not correct I have been searching for answer but couldn't find it.

Answer 1

Basically, when you float things, they'll still wrap if there isn't enough space to display both side by side. The easiest solution is to set a width on them to ensure that their container will always be wide enough to fit the content. You can do it with percentages or pixels, depending on your use case.
Note: If you use percentages, percentages adding up to 100% may still cause it to wrap, because they may not take into account padding, margin and/or border depending on other things. I usually do something like 49% for both, then float one right and one left.

Answer 2

You may use display and mind this inline-style <div class="box" style="width: 200px;"> wich is to start with, not wide enough to hold texts and img side by side
display:table/table-cell;
.column.is-narrow {
float: right;
}
.box {display:table;}
.box> p, .box> figure {display:table-cell;vertical-align:middle/* or top or else */
}
<div class="column">
<div class="columns" ng-repeat="a in $ctrl.f">
<div class="column is-narrow">
<div class="box" style="width: 200px;">
<p class="title is-5">{{album}}</p>
<figure class="image is-128x128">
<!--<img ng-src="{{src}}"> remove and replaced for demo purpose-->
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/128x128" />
</figure>
<p class="subtitle">{{person}}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
display:flex;
.column.is-narrow {
float: right;
}
.box {
display: flex;
/* removed width:200px from inline-style*/
}
p {
margin: auto;
}
<div class="column">
<div class="columns" ng-repeat="a in $ctrl.f">
<div class="column is-narrow">
<div class="box">
<p class="title is-5">{{album}}</p>
<figure class="image is-128x128">
<!--<img ng-src="{{src}}"> remove and replaced for demo purpose-->
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/128x128" />
</figure>
<p class="subtitle">{{person}}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Answer 3

The easiest way is to declare the parent div as a flex container by setting the property display: flex and flex-direction:row. If you don't want to wrap your pictures, you can set flex-wrap:nowrap.
Here http://the-echoplex.net/flexyboxes/ is nice playground for flex box.

Answer 4

So I found the answer and it was pretty simple :)
I just had to add one more div with class with which I will float it to left. This is what I wanted:
.html
<div class="column">
<div class="columns">
<div class="float" ng-repeat="a in $ctrl.f"> /* added this line of code */
<div class="column is-narrow">
<div class="box" style="width: 200px;">
<p class="title is-5">{{album}}</p>
<figure class="image is-128x128">
<!--<img ng-src="{{src}}"> remove and replaced for demo purpose-->
<img src="http://dummyimage.com/128x128" />
</figure>
</div>
</div>
<p class="subtitle">{{person}}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.css
.float{
float:left;
}
That was it. It's working. :)
