I have a container of various width, and various number of boxes float inside it. All the boxes have same width and height.
This is a demonstration.
https://jsfiddle.net/kghvmjb6/1/
I am looking for pure CSS solution if possible. Otherwise pure javascript (no jQuery) and CSS solutions are fine.
This example works fine with one line of floating boxes but fail with multiple lines, which is not I want.

Instead of using float left, use display inline-block and in the parent div add text-align center, that will center the boxes in the container

My issue is that I wanted side-by-side elements with borders, but I noticed without doing some margin-hack it was difficult to use the border property and it still didn't look right. However when I use outline or box-shadow, I get this alignment issue at the end.
.inner {
outline: 1px solid black;
width: 50%;
height: 50px;
float: left;
margin: 0;
display: inline-block;
box-sizing: border-box;
position: relative;
background: #fff;
}
<div class="inner">
</div>
<div class="inner">
</div>
<div class="inner">
</div>
<div class="inner">
</div>
<div class="inner">
</div>
It looks alright when there's an even number of elements but when I have this last element it looks odd. Some might suggest I just make it fit to the end which would be okay but the size can be configurable sometimes so this could be a common occurrence.
What is the proper way to achieve this where the last element lines up the border(or outline) correctly?
Because you're using outline to create your border, the outlines at the center are actually overlapping one another. When you get to the bottom where there is only one div the outline is not being overlapped and therefore looks misaligned. You could solve this issues by building it as a table:
.table {
width: 100%;
display: table;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.column {
display: table-row;
}
.inner {
display: table-cell;
border: 1px solid black;
width: 50%;
height: 50px;
background: #fff;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="column">
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>
<div class="column">
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>
<div class="column">
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>
</div>
How i can center div elements horizontally, so when i change the width of the browser, the last div go down with css?
So:
---||||-||||-||||---
--------||||--------
When i write:
<div style="float: left; position: relative; left: 50%;">
<div style="float: left; position: relative; left: -50%;">
<div style="width:315px; height:340px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Text</div>
<div style="width:315px; height:340px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Text</div>
...
</div>
</div>
Then after a element go down, all div elements go to the left side.
I would recommend using display: inline-block on the elements and then using text-align: center on the container to handle the centering you want:
I cleaned up your HTML but here is the basic HTML formatting with a container class and multiple (as many as you want) block class DIVs:
<div class="container">
<div class="block">Text</div>
<div class="block">Text</div>
<div class="block">Text</div>
</div>
The CSS modifies the display settings of the blocks and the text-alignment of the container:
div.block {
display: inline-block; /* this changes the elements to behave more like inline elements (think <span>s) */
width: 315px;
margin: 10px 0;
height: 340px;
}
div.container {
width: 100%;
text-align: center; /* this is the magic that centers the elements */
}
I put together a small demo that should help demonstrate this method: JSFIDDLE
Be Aware: a small 'quirk' exists with the display: inline-block CSS. it causes a small amount of space to occur between the elements. This can be removed multiple ways, my preferred methods being either using comments or wrapping the closing tags of the DIVs. (the issue is caused by the return/spaces between the elements in the HTML):
<div class="container">
<div class="block">Text</div><!--
--><div class="block">Text</div><!--
--><div class="block">Text</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="block">Text</div
><div class="block">Text</div
><div class="block">Text</div>
</div>
reference for the quirk behavior
Create a container <div> that is 100% of a given area. Then set each <div>'s width inside the container to be a % and float: left;. They'll stack next to each other until they do not fit and will break to the next line.
.container {
width: 100%;
}
.three {
width: 33%;
min-width: 225px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="three">
<p>Something</p>
</div>
<div class="three">
<p>Something</p>
</div>
<div class="three">
<p>Something</p>
</div>
</div>
Run the snippet.
You could use media queries to write different css code for different sizes:

My question is about CSS and DIV tags. I have a dynamic page, and I would like one container DIV. There are two scenarios: in one case, this container DIV will just have one DIV in it, with a width of 50%, and should be centered. In the other case, there will be two DIVs in it, and they should be side by side, each taking up 50%.
I have tried float:center (using overflow: hidden on the container DIV), and that works for 1 DIV in it, but with two, they are stacked on top of each other. If I use float: left, then the 2 DIVS appear correct, but the single DIV is left aligned, not centered.
Any help on how to achieve this effectively would be greatly appreciated!
<div style="width:800; margin: 2px; background-color:blue">
<div style="width:50%; background-color:orange;">
Text
</div>
<div style="width:50%; background-color:red;">
Text
</div>
</div>
jsFiddle
For the two-div scenario:
<div style="width:800; margin: 2px; background-color:blue; display: table;">
<div style="background-color:orange; display: table-cell;">
Text
</div>
<div style="background-color:red; display: table-cell;">
Text
</div>
</div>
Now for the one-div scenario:
<div style="width:800; margin: 2px; background-color:blue; display: table;">
<div style="background-color:orange; display: table-cell;">
Text
</div>
</div>
In each case, the inner divs, whether there are 1 or 2, will take up a combined 100% of the outer div. Essentially, it acts like the <table> element without having the semantics of a <table>.
check this fiddle
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="divholder">
<div style="background-color:orange;">DIV 1</div>
<div style="background-color:red;">DIV 2</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.divholder div{
display:inline-block;
margin:auto;
width:49%;
}
.divholder {
text-align:center;
margin: 0 auto;
position:relative;
}
.wrapper{
width:100%;
background-color:blue;
}
This perfectly deals with your need..While there is only one div, the div gets centered and if two divs come then both will be equally divided and floated left.Please see the fiddle..
Similar to chharvey's answer, this can be achieved nicely with display: table;
In my example it is centered horizontally and will work with any number of columns as they will fit themselves to the full width of div.wrap. The columns are currently given a height of 100%, this can be adjusted.
Have a jsBin example!
HTML
<div class="wrap">
<div class="column">
</div>
<div class="column">
</div>
</div>
CSS
html,body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrap {
display: table;
width: 800px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.column {
display: table-cell;
background: #FF0;
}
.column:first-child {
background: #F00;
}
Sorry, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but if there anyway to do the following:
I have three divs in-line like the diagram shown below, when the browser window is shrunk it automatically drops each div to the next line. I know that I could use the #media command and assign a different css stylesheet if the browser is a certain size, but it would be great if I could make it fluid.
Before:
After:
Thank you!
Wrap the divs in a container element, like....
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="elem1"></div>
<div id="elem2"></div>
<div id="elem3"></div>
</div>
Then make sure .wrapper has a set width, most likely a percentage. If it has a set width and the inline elements are all floated left, once there is no longer room within the .wrapper div, they'll shift to the next line.
Try:
<div class='box'></div>
<div class='box'></div>
<div class='box'></div>
and:
.box {
background: #000;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
float: left;
}
They should automatically drop when below 900px, see: http://jsfiddle.net/JQFH7/
Elements into it
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="inner"></div>
<div>
CSS
.inner
{
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display: inline-block;
background: black;
}
div#wrapper
{
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}

There are some answers to a similar question already, but this one has a twist.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3 grey">
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="info">(i)</div>
<div class="text"><div class="labeled">This is a long text</div></div>
<div class="icon">[$]</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-9 green">
Content
</div>
</div>
So I need three divs, aligned in one line at all conditions - info, text, icon - with two divs on the sides having fixed h/w, and one in the middle taking only as much space, as
either it needs, and not more
or is available for it, cutting the context with overflow:hidden
Here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/L7tmt5w1/3/
Here are my mad skills in sketching ideas http://imgur.com/tF0HkD2
For those, who want to feel my pain, you may also try re-ordering the divs - text, icon, info - when the screen size goes mobile (bootstrap's col-xs-)
You can use the display: table-cell; method for this situation:
.wrapper {
display: table;
text-align: right;
width: 100%;
}
.info {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: table-cell;
background-color: #005ea8;
color: #fff;
}
.icon {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: table-cell;
background-color: #eb690b;
color: #fff;
}
.text {
display: table-cell;
background-color: #ccc;
width: auto;
}
This mimics the table display properties and keeps all the children of .wrapper inline and the middle one "elastic" as it has no defined width. You can also remove the floats.

maybe this solution will help you DEMO
<aside class="panel">
...
</aside>
<div class="content">
...
</div>
.content {
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid;
}
.panel {
float: right;
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid;
}
You can try this http://jsfiddle.net/L7tmt5w1/3/
Remember: If you want to float an element to the right, it must be the first element. For example:
<div style="float:right"></div>
<div style="float:left"></div>
AND DIV's are already block elements, so you don't have to add display:block to a DIV-element
I don't know if this is what you want: jsfiddle
if not content on "text" no div... if too much content it's hidden
(but you can add
overflow:auto
to the text div for scroll bars
