I'm trying to make the following pattern in HTML:
CellA CellB
CellC
CellD CellE
CellF
I'm trying to use a mixture of divs and spans to do this. I make CellC inside of a div since browsers always place line breaks before and after the div (Source). I also give this div the CSS property float: right so that it will appear to the right (like shown above). Making it float right is working, but I think by doing this I'm removing the default property of the div, which I believe is display: block, which puts in the line breaks. Even if I add this property in manually, it has no affect.
Here is the code I'm trying out (Along with a fiddle):
HTML
<div>CellA
<span class="floatRight">CellB</span>
</div>
<div class="both">
CellC
</div>
<div>CellD
<span class="floatRight">CellE</span>
</div>
<div class="both">
CellF
</div>
CSS
.floatRight { float:right;}
.both {float: right; display: block;}
The code above will cause my output to look like this:
CellA CellB
CellD CellECellC
CellF
Add following style to both class
.both {
float: right;
display: block;
width: 100%;
text-align: right;
}
Adding another solution to your problem, you can use flexbox to do this.
Try this:
html:
<div class="flex-container">
<div class="item">CellA</div>
<div class="item">CellB</div>
<div class="item">CellC</div>
<div class="item">CellD</div>
<div class="item">CellE</div>
<div class="item">CellF</div>
</div>
css:
.flex-container {
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
justify-content: space-between;
width: 100%;
}
.item:nth-child(3n) {
width: 100%;
text-align: right;
color: red;
}
Demo
But if you can't use flexbox, the #Jaspreet Singh answers its correct.
If you can change the HTML structure, then this approach will be easy for you:
HTML
<div class="clearfix">
<div class="left">
Cell A
</div>
<div class="right">
<div>
Cell B
</div>
<div>
Cell C
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix">
<div class="left">
Cell D
</div>
<div class="right">
<div>
Cell E
</div>
<div>
Cell F
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.right {
float: right;
}
.left {
float: left;
}
.clearfix:after {
content: "";
clear: both;
display: block
}

Why are you using float? If there is no "good" reason to use float, because float removes the element from the flow of the design.
Try using display inline-block instead.
<html>
<head>
<title>foo</title>
<style>
.left {
width: 45%;
display: inline-block;
background-color: #0ff;
}
.right {
width: 45%;
display: inline-block;
background-color: #f00;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div class="left">CellA</div> <div class="right">CellB</div>
<div class="left"></div> <div class="right">CellC</div>
<div class="left">CellD</div> <div class="right">CellE</div>
<div class="left"></div> <div class="right">CellF</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
if you use DL here instead of DIV then it will be easy for you. because it's look like title and description

I m trying to design a score board in following manner:
0 - 0
Home - Away
Now the issue happening here is the if the length of name of Home team is bigger, it pushing the - further. I want - to be aligned with the - in the score above. my html structure is something like following:
<div className="score">
<span>0</span>-<span>0</span>
</div>
<div className="team">
<span>{homeName}</span>-<span>{awayName}</span>
</div>
I have tried putting direction property to the span to use rtl. I also tried providing text-align center and putting the position property as fixed. but it didnt work. Not sure if I m going right here or not. Any help is appreciated
If you can add an extra wrapper you can simply use display:table
.main {
display: table;
}
.score,
.team {
display: table-row;
}
span {
display: table-cell;
}
span:first-child {
text-align: right;
padding-right: 10px;
position: relative;
}
span:last-child {
text-align: left;
padding-left: 10px;
}
/*the line between scores*/
span:first-child::before {
content: "-";
position: absolute;
right:-2px;
top: 0;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="score">
<span>0</span><span>0</span>
</div>
<div class="team">
<span>Home</span><span>away</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="main">
<div class="score">
<span>0</span><span>0</span>
</div>
<div class="team">
<span>Home Home Home</span><span>away</span>
</div>
</div>
You can do something like this, but you always have number of other ways to style as you need.
<div class="main">
<div class="home-screen">
<p> 0 </p>
<p> Home </p>
</div>
<div> - <div>
<div class="away-screen">
<p> 0 </p>
<p> Away </p>
</div>
</div>
style.css
.main {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
I have a div in the following format
<div id="main">
<div id="row1">
<div id="label1"></div>
<div id="value1"></div>
</div>
<div id="row2">
<div id="labe2"></div>
<div id="value2"></div>
</div>
<div id="row3">
<div id="label3"></div>
<div id="value3"></div>
</div>
</div>
I am trying to achieve a layout, where all the values are aligned on top of each other to the right and labels to the left within each row.
I have tried using float:left and float:right like
css
#row1{
display: inline
}
#value1{
float:right
}
#row2{
display: inline
}
#value2{
float:right
}
#row3{
display: inline
}
#value3{
float:right
}
But, this css i tried is missing the layout and row items are colliding into each other. Can someone help what could be the issue?
If you are familiar with how a HTML table works, then you can use display:table-* properties. Btw, use class instead of id. Use id specifically for things such as DOM manipulation or forms. Do not use id for styling unless you have no other choice.

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>inline</title>
<style>
#main {
border: 5px dotted grey;
display: table;
width: 300px;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.value {
border: 1px solid red;
display: table-cell;
width: 50%;
}
label {
border: 1px solid blue;
display: table-cell;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<main id="main">
<div class='row' id="row1">
<label for='value1'>V1</label>
<div id="value1" class='value'>44</div>
</div>
<div class='row' id="row2">
<label for='value2'>V2</label>
<div id="value2" class='value'>ALPHA</div>
</div>
<div class='row' id="row3">
<label for='value3'>V3</label>
<div id="value3" class='value'>💀</div>
</div>

If I've understood your question right you want to have labels on the left and values on the right just in front of their labels.
Here is example for you http://codepen.io/g1un/pen/PGKEwB
Add to your rows class row and to labels class label and apply the next css to it:
.row::after {
clear: both;
display: table;
content: '';
}
.label {
float: left;
}
And don't apply to your rows display: inline; - it just does harm to your code.
Here's my solution - rather simple, replaced your whole CSS (i.e. no other CSS):
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
}
div {
border: 1px dotted #fa5;
}
#main > div > div {
display: inline-block;
width: 49.8%;
padding: 10px;
}
Codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/GjvykB
Change the width value to any desired setting < 50%
P.S.: border isn't necessary, used only to visualize the elements, th very last padding also isn't necessary
If you don't need to support older IE browsers, go with flexbox
Side note: Don't use id like that, use class
.main > div {
display: flex;
}
.main > div > div {
margin: 0 10px;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="row1">
<div class="label1">1</div>
<div class="value1">One</div>
</div>
<div class="row2">
<div class="label2">2</div>
<div class="value2">Two</div>
</div>
<div class="row3">
<div class="label3">3</div>
<div class="value3">Three</div>
</div>
</div>
on my opinion - try display: inline-block; I will hope it help you.
Looking through some documentation, it looks like you an try using position for left and right alignment. I would suggest trying out something like in the documentation:
.right {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
width: 300px;
}
I have a main div with 2 divs inside it, and a secondary div. To get the divs inside the main to be in the poisition i wanted them to be i set position to relative and it worked but the secondary div is now above the main div(in the browser) for some reason. I probably used position wrong, if someone can correct my it will help me a lot.
#main {
position: relative;
}
#right {
float: right;
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
#left {
float: left;
position: relative;
displayLinline-block;
}
#subDiv {
position: relative;
}
<div id="main">
<div id="left">
</div>
<div id="right">
</div>
</div>
<div id="subDiv">
</div>
browser shows:
<div id="subDiv">
</div>
<div id="main">
<div id="left">
</div>
<div id="right">
</div>
</div>
what's my mistake?
You need to wrap a clearfix around the 2 floating divs. Also, display inline-block is used instead of floating, not in additon too. You also have a typo in your css "displayLinline-block;" but that could just be your example.
You can make a new class like such:
.cf:after { visibility:hidden; display:block; content:"" ; clear:both; height:0px;}
and then wrap all your floated elements in a classed called "cf" and this will fix your issue.
<div class="cf">
<div class="fleft"> this is a div floating left </div>
<div class="fright"> this is a div floating right </div>
</div> <!-- //clearfix -->
<div> another div with more content that is not interferred with content above. </div>
It's not entirely clear what look you are trying to achieve but it sounds as though you need to clear the floats.
There are multiple methods of clearing which are detailed in THIS Stack Overflow question
#left,
#right,
#subDiv {
height: 50px;
}
#left {
float: left;
width: 50%;
background: red;
}
#right {
float: left;
width: 50%;
background: blue;
}
#subDiv {
background: green;
clear: both;
}
<div id="main">
<div id="left">
</div>
<div id="right">
</div>
</div>
<div id="subDiv">
</div>
Clear divs of floats. Also, be careful that you have a typo in the CSS. "displayLinline-block".
Does any have an idea how to do so?
I created this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/matusko/2pctr9ok/3/ and all I want to do is, that the input behave the same way as the upper divs.
CSS:
.left {
float:left;
width:180px;
background-color:#ff0000;
}
.right {
width: 100%;
background-color:#00FF00;
display: block;
}
HTML:
<div>
<div class="left">
left
</div>
<div class="right">
right
</div>
</div>
<br/>
<div>
<div class="left">
left
</div>
<input type="text" placeholder="right" class="right"/>
</div>
I dont understand why input doesnt behave like div, even when propriety inspector says that its display is block.
You can use calc in CSS to dynamically calculate the width for you.
Sample below:
.left {
float: left;
width: 180px;
background-color: #ff0000;
}
.right {
width: calc(100% - 180px);
background-color: #00FF00;
display: inline-block;
}
input[type="text"] {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100%;
}
<div>
<div class="left">left</div>
<div class="right">right</div>
</div>
<br/>
<div>
<div class="left">left</div>
<div class="right">
<input type="text" placeholder="right" />
</div>
</div>
For < IE9 I would suggest the following http://jsfiddle.net/2pctr9ok/4/
Putting the left bottom in position:absolute, the whole bottom block in overflow:hidden and apply a padding-left:180px on the input.
I have this HTML code:
<body>
<div id="div0" style="display:inline; background-color:green; width:100%">
<div id="div1" style="display:inline; background-color:aqua;width:33%"> </div>
<div id="div2" style="display:inline; background-color:red;width:33%"> </div>
<div id="div3" style="display:inline; background-color:yellow;width:33%"> </div>
</div>
</body>
I want to fill the page with div1, div2 and div3 but they don't fill the entire width.
What it's happening?
Taken from display declaration:
display: inline means that the element
is displayed inline, inside the
current block on the same line. Only
when it's between two blocks does the
element form an 'anonymous block',
that however has the smallest possible
width.
You cannot give an inline element set width or height dimensions, they will be ignored. An element must have a display type of block to do that. Setting display: block however will not achieve what you want since each element will fill the entire width. float: left will cause them to stack to the left and also forces display: block.
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrap {
width:100%;
}
#wrap:after {
/* Prevent wrapper from shrinking height,
see http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html */
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
#wrap .container {
float: left;
width:33%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div class="container"> </div>

Mmmmm, semantics
See answer from Phunky for further comments on floating.
Use relative positioning on the outer <div> and float the inner <div>s. Don't use display: inline.
<body>
<div id="div0" style="border: 1px solid red; background-color: green; width: 100%; position: relative;">
<div id="div1" style="background-color: aqua; width: 33.33%; float: left;">a</div>
<div id="div2" style="background-color: red; width: 33.33%; float: left;">b</div>
<div id="div3" style="background-color: yellow; width: 33.33%; float: left;">c</div>
</div>
</body>
display:inline shrink wraps the content. You might want to try float:left instead.
Rory Fitzpatrick more or less has the ideal answer for you, although there is no need to set pos:rel on the #wrapper as it is already a relative block element and will span the full width by default.
When you float a block element it mimics the alignment functionality of display:inline and in an ideal world we would have access to the very useful display:inline-block which would have done exactly what you was expecting it to do.
But one thing you should remember when floating elements is that they will only take up the space they require (this includes margin and padding) unless you set a fixed width.
This is why Rory used width:33%; as that is the best you are ever going to get :)
Ideally this would have been a comment on Rorys post, but i've not got a high enough post count yet.
<body>
<div id="div0" style="float: left; background-color:green; width:100%">
<div id="div1" style="float: left; background-color:aqua;width:33%"> </div>
<div id="div2" style="float: left; background-color:red;width:33%"> </div>
<div id="div3" style="float: left; background-color:yellow;width:33%"> </div>
</div>
</body>
This should work for you. And the reason IIRC is that display: inline does not take % width.
Instead of using float you could use flexbox for a more responsive resizing. Also this forces the elements to remain in a row.
Example:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrap {
width:100%;
display:inline-flex;
}
#wrap:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
display: inline-flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.container1 {
width:20%;
}
.container2{
width:80%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div class="container1"> </div>
<div class="container2"> </div>
</div>
The best way to accomplish this, contrary to all the answers given before, can be found referencing the answer to this question:
3 inline-block divs with exactly 33% width not fitting in parent
The quickest and easiest way is not the prettiest to look at (putting your div's on the same line to remove the automatic single white space provided normally), but will work tremendously for what you want. The answer I am referencing list plenty of other way that, in my opinion, are better than any provided before, and address the true problem you are having.
Here is the code working exactly how you'd like, and a link to the fiddle!
<body>
<div id="div0" style="float: left; background-color:green; width: 100%;">
<div id="div1" style="margin: 0px; display: inline-block; background-color:aqua;width:33.33%"> </div><div id="div2" style="margin: 0px; display: inline-block; background-color:red;width:33.33%"> </div><div id="div3" style="margin: 0px; display: inline-block; background-color:yellow;width:33.33%"> </div>
</div>
