I'm having trouble getting my divs to line up horizontally.
Here's my html doc: https://gist.github.com/Keenangp/9def2bd08eb6244bcf2d
I don't have enough rep to post the style sheet too, but it goes:
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: auto;
}
.column {
display:inline-block
}
.image {
display:inline-block
}
Here's the page: keenansportfolio.bitballoon.com/about
Some things I've tried while going through previous solutions here:
When I check the divs in Chrome dev tools, I see that the inline block property has been applied, and there are no errors in the console. I've tried removing the container rule, removing the container div, so the other divs aren't nested. I've tried using a smaller image, combining the property with float: left, and applying inline-block with the class>direct descendant as a selector. I've also tried each div by itself, and applying the vertical-align: top property in case the baseline was interfering with it, and opening it in different browsers.
This is for an exercise, and I wasn't told to edit any other values or add any other properties. I'm kinda stumped.
You want to align three columns in a row if I get it right.
You have to set width of each columns and sum of those are not supposed to exceed container's width. Set width for all three columns (ex:32%) and if you want to align them even if sum of their widths exceed the container's, add this property to container; white-space:nowrap.
You have to set 'div width' for "image","column" classes. For example,
.image, .column
{
display: inline-block;
width: 30%;
}

I am trying to put an image in a container but for some reason, there is always a small additional space at the end of the image: Here is a fiddle with tests: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/sikAm. If you look at the last one in the right bar, there is no white because the container hides the overflow. This made me think that the problem happens because of the image, not because of the container. So the container's size gets that white because the image "pushes" an additional space inside. However, the image's size is correct and it has no margin that can add this at the bottom, so I might be completely on the wrong track:
img {
border: 0;
width: auto;
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
I don't know what to do about this. What can cause that whitespace? What am I missing?
The problem is that, by default, images are inline elements, and its vertical-align property defaults to baseline. This alignment produces some space below the element.
To fix it, you can use
display: block [Demo]. This way the element will no longer be inline-level, so vertical-align won't apply.
vertical-align: middle [Demo]. This fixes the alignment problem. Other values may also work.
imgs are displayed inline by default, which creates spaces automatically for next line of texts.
Instead set the display to block. It will make those spaces gone.
img {
display:block
}
I am able to center horizontal list with text-align:center, but I wonder how can I keep it centered inside container, but has rows aligned left.
My container has percent width, so I need it working when resizing window and blocks are reordering
Please check the sample image below to understand my problem:
UPDATE:
Please find JsFiddle as per request
I need to center my <ul> inside div.container
Use this:
ul {
margin: auto;
}
li {
float: left;
}
See this fiddle:
You already know to center the <ul> with margin: auto;
The key is to adjust the <li> within it.
You can do that by using float: left;
Alternatively: you can set display: inline-block;
Both have a similar effect, but aren't identical. Play w/it.
By providing margins & percentage widths, you can play w/size and separation of the elements.
Since these are all block-level elements, they'll stack up & wrap automatically.
By floating or changing display of the <li> you keep them left-aligned within their parent element (the <ul>).
Also, by using separate CSS classes instead of targeting the <li> element directly, you leave things flexible in case you want to have a right-aligned list, or some other options later.
Wrap your boxes within another div.
You can then center that div with display: block; margin: 0 auto;, while keeping the boxes left-aligned.
I have a container which has left and right padding. Inside this container are two divs which should be side by side with a space between. Now because this space is fix but the site is responsive, the two text-divs must have a dynamic width. This is the reason why I can't use %-width.
I thought with text-align: justify it will work, but it doesn't.
Here is the JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/qGw48/
Here the JSFiddle how it should look like: http://jsfiddle.net/4ekSm/ (it only works because of the %-widths)
just change:
div#container > div {
display: inline-block;
}
to:
div#container > div {
display: table-cell;
}
UPDATED FIDDLE
This can be done fairly easily if you make the width value take into account the padding. So I'm using the style:
box-sizing: border-box;
http://jsfiddle.net/qGw48/1/
This means that when you set a width then the padding will be included in that value.
Have you seen this http://jsfiddle.net/cUCvY/1/
I think It solves what your looking for
Two Divs next to each other, that then stack with responsive change
you could add some margin to one of the boxes ie
.left{
margin-right: 5px;
}
I have two divs. One that is floated left and one floated right. The one of the left has a width set to 18% and a min-width of 217px. I want to have the div on the right take up the remaining space, while also being able to resize to fit the window.
The problem I am having is that I can set the right div's width to 82% and to float right, which works until I make the window side too small, in which case the min-width of the left div kicks in and it stops shrinking. The right div doesn't have enough space to fit, so it is pushed down.
Here's some sample code.
HTML
<div id="div1">
stuff inside of it
</div>
<div id="div2">
stuff inside of it
</div>
CSS
#div1
{
float: left;
width: 18%;
height: 100vh;
min-width: 130px;
box-shadow: 0px .3em .2em #000;
z-index: 2;
}
#div2
{
width: 82%;
float: right;
z-index: 1;
}
So this is where I'm stuck, how should I approach fixing div2? I've tried using a table instead of divs, but a border appeared around the cells that I couldn't change and it removed my box-shadow, so I would prefer a solution without it.
Your thinking of using tables is somewhat on the right track, as table elements do actually have many properties that make them capable of such a thing, but as people are pointing out in the comments, it's no longer a valid approach to use table elements for the purposes of layout for non-tabular data.
This is why CSS implemented a set of style rules built to reflect those unique properties. You can set a container around two elements with the style display: table;, and then give it's children the style display: table-cell;
Setting the width for the right side div to 100% will ensure it always fills as much space as is available to it.
But, since table cells can't break to a new row when the content exceeds the width of the table, it will automatically adjust to fit. So when another div (the left one) has a specific min-width, the div on the right is given less space in order to keep the cells contained.
Here's an example using your code:
http://jsfiddle.net/Q5rjL/
CSS table display properties give you all the benefits of these unique elements, but without the semantic issues. They are great for complex layouts where other style display types fall short.
You can also contain floats with overflow:hidden:
#div2{
overflow:hidden;
z-index: 1;
}
The DIV will fill up the remaining space (http://jsfiddle.net/MAjwt/)
I have this container div whose width I would like to set according to the widths of the inner divs. The issue I am facing is that the container div with auto width spans the entire page.
I have done a rough mock of what I would like (2nd implementation with constant width set) vs what I am getting with my auto settings.
http://jsfiddle.net/n3Q3n/1/
What do I do to get the div in the center without actually having to specify a width?
change display on all divs and remove the floats from left and right.
on all:
display:inline-block;
on container:
width:100%
or this
http://jsfiddle.net/n3Q3n/15/
please try this, its working well for me, hope it will resolve your issue:
add a property in following class
.container {
text-align: center;
}
from class .left & .right
remove {float:left & float:right} respectively and
add
{display:inline-block}
