I have a div element (1200px width) that contains 3 inner divs.
First and last ones have static sizes (150px and 200px). I want the second one to be centered between logo and buttons. The problem is I don't know how to center this div...
.container {
width: 1200px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: grey;
}
.logo {
width: 150px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
background-color: darkred;
}
.text {
width: auto;
float: left;
}
.buttons {
width: 200px;
height: 70px;
float: right;
background-color: darkgreen;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="text">SOME CENTERED TEXT HERE</div>
<div class="buttons"></div>
</div>
One approach would be to set the display of the .text element to inline-block (and remove float: left), then add text-align: center to the parent element in order to center it. Since the other elements are floated, text-align won't affect them, and it will only center the inline .text element.
.container {
width: 1200px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: grey;
text-align: center;
}
.logo {
width: 150px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
background-color: darkred;
}
.text {
display: inline-block;
}
.buttons {
width: 200px;
height: 70px;
float: right;
background-color: darkgreen;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="text">SOME CENTERED TEXT HERE</div>
<div class="buttons"></div>
</div>
Alternatively, you could also add margin: auto to the .text element and then set display: flex on the parent element. In doing so, the .text element will be centered horizontally with equal space on each side. In doing so, you don't need to float the elements either (since they are flexbox items).
.container {
width: 1200px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: grey;
display: flex;
}
.logo {
width: 150px;
height: 50px;
background-color: darkred;
}
.text {
margin: auto;
}
.buttons {
width: 200px;
height: 70px;
background-color: darkgreen;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="text">SOME CENTERED TEXT HERE</div>
<div class="buttons"></div>
</div>
The problem is that you're floating the centre column. Don't.
The proper way to do what you're doing is to put the left and right columns first, then the centre column won't have to float and you can simply use text-align.
.container {
width: 1200px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: grey;
}
.logo {
width: 150px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
background-color: darkred;
}
.text {
text-align:center;
}
.buttons {
width: 200px;
height: 70px;
float: right;
background-color: darkgreen;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="buttons"></div>
<div class="text">SOME CENTERED TEXT HERE</div>
</div>
Try
.text {
width: auto;
float: left;
text-align: center;
}
Trivial with Flexbox:
.container {
width: 1200px;
height: 100px;
position: absolute;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: grey;
display:flex;
justify-content:space-between;
}
.logo {
width: 150px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
background-color: darkred;
}
.text {
background:#c0ffee
}
.buttons {
width: 200px;
height: 70px;
float: right;
background-color: darkgreen;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="text">SOME CENTERED TEXT HERE</div>
<div class="buttons"></div>
</div>
Here's an (I think) more appropriate solution which centers the entire div and not only the text, using width:calc(100% - 350px);
https://jsfiddle.net/tyvfcbre/1/
.text {
display:inline-block;
width:calc(100% - 350px);
background:lightgrey;
}
Background is there to demonstrate the div position.

How do I right align div elements?

Closed 3 years ago.
How to align element to right side of div box?
My div
<div id="foo">
<div id="tree">Some Text here</div>
</div>
My css
#foo {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: #5e5e5e;
}
#tree {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background: #000000;
}
I need tree placed at top-right side of foo.
There are a few ways to accomplish this. One way is to add an automatic left margin to the tree:
margin-left: auto;
Another option would be to apply float: right; to the tree, which may or may not result in the content flow you need.
And finally, my recommendation honestly would be to just use flexbox.
Margin Example
#foo {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: #5e5e5e;
}
#tree {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background: #000000;
margin-left: auto;
}
<div id="foo">
<div id="tree">Some Text here</div>
</div>
Float Example
#foo {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: #5e5e5e;
}
#tree {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background: #000000;
float: right;
}
<div id="foo">
<div id="tree">Some Text here</div>
</div>
Flex Example
#foo {
display: flex;
justify-content: flex-end;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: #5e5e5e;
}
#tree {
display: flex;
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background: #000000;
}
<div id="foo">
<div id="tree">Some Text here</div>
</div>
Give float:right to #tree.
#foo {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: #5e5e5e;
}
#tree {
float: right;
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background: #000000;
}
<div id="foo">
<div id="tree">Some Text here</div>
</div>
It is possible with position:absolute
#foo {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
position: relative;
background: #5e5e5e;
}
#tree {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background: #000000;
color: #fff;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}
<div id="foo">
<div id="tree">Some Text here</div>
</div>
One way would be to use a position: relative / absolute combination:
#foo {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: #5e5e5e;
position:relative;
}
#tree {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background: #000000;
position:absolute;
right:0;
}
<div id="foo">
<div id="tree">Some Text here</div>
</div>
Update your css like this. #tree div will always be at the top right corner of #foo
#foo {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background: #5e5e5e;
position: relative;
}
#tree {
width: 100px;
height: 30px;
background: #000000;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
I have divs that i want to wrap to the next line when the browser window gets smaller. I also want margin to be put in between the divs so that there's a gap between them. The problem I'm having is that the margin on the centre divs causes the divs to wrap incorrectly if the browser is set to a specific size. At a certain size you have 2 divs underneath one div. See my screenshot below as an example and this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uhh2jwe2/ (change the width of the window)
This really needs to be dynamic as it will be a framework solution for laying out differently sized divs. The parent div will be fluid similar to the example. Any help would be great
#outer {
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
margin: 5%;
overflow: auto;
background-color: red;
}
.inner1 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.inner2 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.inner3 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
background-color: blue;
}
<div id="outer">
<div class="inner1">1</div>
<div class="inner2">2</div>
<div class="inner3">3</div>
</div>
You can use media queries to alter the css on smaller screen.
#outer {
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
margin: 5%;
overflow: auto;
background-color: red;
}
.inner1 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.inner2 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.inner3 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
background-color: blue;
}
#media (max-width: 435px) {
#outer > div {
margin-right:auto;
margin-left:auto;
margin-bottom:15px;
float:none;
}
}
<div id="outer">
<div class="inner1">1</div>
<div class="inner2">2</div>
<div class="inner3">3</div>
</div>
Use Media query like this:
#outer div:last-child {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
#media screen and (max-width:570px) {
.inner1, .inner2, .inner3 {
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width:411px) {
.inner1, .inner2, .inner3 {
float: none;
margin: auto;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
}
#outer {
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
margin: 5%;
overflow: auto;
background-color: red;
}
.inner1 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.inner2 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
.inner3 {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
background-color: blue;
}
#outer div:last-child {
margin-bottom: 0;
}
#media screen and (max-width:570px) {
.inner1, .inner2, .inner3 {
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
}
#media screen and (max-width:411px) {
.inner1, .inner2, .inner3 {
float: none;
margin: auto;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
}
<div id="outer">
<div class="inner1">1</div>
<div class="inner2">2</div>
<div class="inner3">3</div>
</div>
I would recommend a solution that extracts the grid-elements from the content-elements. Therefore you have a lot more control about your layout and you can be more flexible with content you want to place into it.
Use your .inner elements as grid-elements and wrap content inside them into .inner-content
Wrap all inners into a row to get rid of the outer-gutter
Give the .inner elements a percentage-width and a px-max-width. So the elments can take alwyay 33.33% of the avaiable width but never more then 150px.
I added some adjustments for small screens, so the .inner elements wrap below each other and take more then 33.33% of the .outer container width.
Inspect the code: http://jsfiddle.net/uhh2jwe2/5/
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
/* flexible outer container */
.outer {
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
margin: 5%;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: red;
}
/* remove outer gutter */
.row {
margin: 0 -10px;
}
/* .inner will take care of the width */
.inner {
width: 33.33%;
max-width: 150px;
float: left;
padding: 0 10px;
}
/* .inner-content take care of the height */
.inner-content {
height: 150px;
color: #fff;
background: blue;
}
#media (max-width: 435px) {
/* this wraps .inner elements below each other and extends width */
.outer .inner {
padding: 10px 0;
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
float:none;
}
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="row">
<div class="inner">
<div class="inner-content">1</div>
</div>
<div class="inner">
<div class="inner-content">2</div>
</div>
<div class="inner">
<div class="inner-content">3</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I would suggest to use bootstrap's technique for that. Have padding on both sides of your inner elements, and negate it with negative margin on the container.
This will require more markup tough. While .row and .container could be merge on the same element, the background-color would overflow to the left because of the negative margin.
.container {
background-color: green;
width: 510px;
}
.row {
font-size: 0;
margin: 0 -15px;
}
.block {
font-size: 12px;
padding: 0 15px;
display: inline-block;
}
.content {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
background-color: red;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="block">
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
<div class="block">
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
<div class="block">
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
<div class="block">
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
<div class="block">
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
in your example, the first two divs are 170px wide (150+20), and the third is 150px wide because it doesn't have a margin, thats the problem.
avoid #media if you mant it to be fully responsive and not jumping from 4 items a line to 1 item a linefor example.
you can solve your issue by simply adding a margin-right:20 to your last element, but it is better to to like so :
.inner1, .inner2, .inner3{
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin: 2px 10px; //left & right sides to half of 20px
background-color: blue;
}
because it will split the margin to the two sides, making it more symetrical.
For laying out differently sized divs.
if all your divs can change size but stay equal, it will work, but if the first div is 70 and the 2nd and 3rd are 50, there will always be two divs on the bottom line at some point.
I think I've found the simplest solution to what I'm trying to do without having to use media queries. I simply added the right margin to all fields including the last field rather than adding it to every field except the final field.
I then wrap all the fields in another div and add a minus margin (the same size as the gaps) so that the fields will wrap when they hit the side of the container. Here's a fiddle with the solution: http://jsfiddle.net/rahg1ky3/
#outer {
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
margin: 5%;
overflow: auto;
background-color: red;
}
#inner {
margin-right: -20px;
}
.cont {
float: left;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
<div id="outer">
<div id = "inner">
<div class="cont">1</div>
<div class="cont">2</div>
<div class="cont">3</div>
</div>
</div>
I have 3 divs (colored squares) and a button.
How can I center the button under the divs?
With my current code the button appears in the same line as #squares and it's floating to the left. Thanks for your answers.
#div1 {
background-color: red;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
#div2 {
background-color: green;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
#div3 {
background-color: blue;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
#squares {
display: flex;
position: absolute;
margin-left: 35%;
}
#button {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
clear: both;
}
<div id="squares">
<div id="div1"></div>
<div id="div2"></div>
<div id="div3"></div>
</div>
<div id="button">
<button>Click me!</button>
</div>
Since you're already using flexbox, there are multiple solutions, all of them relatively simple.
Here's one:
Wrap both containers in a parent container.
Add display: flex and flex-direction: column to this new container.
Now you can easily align the squares and the button both vertically and horizontally.
#container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
#div1 {
background-color: red;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
#div2 {
background-color: green;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 10px;
}
#div3 {
background-color: blue;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
#squares {
display: flex;
align-self: center;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#button {
align-self: center;
text-align: center;
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="squares">
<div id="div1"></div>
<div id="div2"></div>
<div id="div3"></div>
</div>
<div id="button">
<button>Click me!</button>
</div>
</div>
Is there a specific reason you are using position: absolute for the square-container?
If not, you can just make the position relative, recenter the content and center the button.
Important code changes:
#squares {
position: relative;
justify-content: center;
}
#button {
margin: 0 auto;
}
Fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/q17fa25w/
Other way to solve it, you can set padding left and top for #button div like this:
#button {
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
clear: both;
padding: 120px 35%;
}
Hi I have been having a problem with coding my layout I want to have my sidebar stay the same with regardless of screen size, but I also need my content area to be fluid. The header stays at the top which is what I want the problem is the footer I need it to stay always at the bottom and the full width of the content area. If anyone can help it would be muchly appreciated.
Here is my code.
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#content {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#left {
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
#right {
float: left;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
#right header {
background: blue;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
#right footer {
background: brown;
text-align: center;
color: white;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 80%;
}
<div id='content'>
<div id='left'>Testing</div>
<div id='right'>
<header>TITLE</header>
<div class="content">
<p>lorem ipsum and the like.</p>
</div>
<footer>FOOTER</footer>
</div>
</div>
Use inline-block over float:left to avoid problems with clearings, but when using inline-block better use vh over % to fill the viewport.
And to have a fixed sidebar, just give it a fixed width and use calc to calculate the remaining space.
you can do something like this:
Snippet
html,
body {
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
}
#content {
width: 100vw;
font-size: 0; /* fix inline-block gap */
}
#content > div {
font-size: 16px; /* revert font-size 0 */
}
#left {
width: 150px;
height: 100vh;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: red;
}
#right {
display: inline-block;
width: calc(100vw - 150px);
height: 100vh;
background: green
}
#right header {
background: blue;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
#right footer {
background: brown;
text-align: center;
color: white;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: calc(100vw - 150px);
}
<div id='content'>
<div id='left'>Testing</div>
<div id='right'>
<header>TITLE</header>
<div class="content">
<p>lorem ipsum and the like.</p>
</div>
<footer>FOOTER</footer>
</div>
</div>
Here's what you should do :
First, replace the float:left; with display: table-cell; for your #left and #right selectors.
Then, use display: table; for your #content selector.
Then, remove the width: 80%; of your #right and #right footer selectors
Add right : 0; to your #right footer selector
Finally, set the left of your footer and the width of your sidebar to the same fixed with and you're there.
The beauty of this approach, is that it also works on IE8 and other browsers that do not have support for calc().
A demo :
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#content {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: table;
}
#left {
width: 100px;
height: 100%;
display: table-cell;
background-color: red;
}
#right {
display: table-cell;
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
#right header {
background: blue;
text-align: center;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
}
#right footer {
background: brown;
text-align: center;
color: white;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right : 0;
left : 100px;
}
<div id='content'>
<div id='left'>Testing</div>
<div id='right'>
<header>TITLE</header>
<div class="content">
<p>lorem ipsum and the like.</p>
</div>
<footer>FOOTER</footer>
</div>
</div>

How can I make this html structure
<div id="1"></div>
<div id="2"></div>
<div id="3"></div>
be displayed like this while div#1 and #2 have css float:left
( id names are integers only for demonstration purposes )
First of all, you will need to change the id's of your <div>'s to start with an alphabet rather than just one single digit since you won't be able to style your <div>'s using CSS then. Moreover, to achieve the sort of a layout which you're trying to create, you will need to wrap your two floated <div>'s inside a <div> and set the display property of that <div> to inline-block.
Here's a demo:
#one,
#two {
float: left;
}
#one {
display: block;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}
#two {
display: block;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}
#three {
display: block;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}
#one {
background: pink;
}
#two {
background: brown;
}
#three {
background: gray;
}
div#row-left {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
vertical-align: top;
}
div#row-right {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
vertical-align: top;
}
<div id="row-left">
<div id="one">One</div>
<div id="two">Two</div>
</div>
<div id="row-right">
<div id="three">Three</div>
</div>
Edit: If you want to align the three boxes to the right side of the page then you will need to wrap your HTML inside another <div> and set the text-align property of that <div> to right, like this:
#wrapper {
text-align: right;
}
#one,
#two {
float: left;
}
#one {

If you want to keep the given HTML structure, here's two different methods. One is working around the floats, the other is simply using absolute or relative positioning to force the third div into place.
HTML
<div id="d1">One</div>
<div id="d2">Two</div>
<div id="d3">Three</div>
CSS using inline-block (jsfiddle):
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
margin: 10px;
}
#d1 {
float: left;
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.3);
}
#d2 {
float: left;
clear: left;
background-color: rgba(0,255,0,0.3);
}
#d3 {
background-color: rgba(0,0,255,0.3);
display: inline-block;
}
CSS using relative positioning (jsfiddle):
div {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
margin: 10px;
}
#d1 {
float: left;
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,0.3);
}
#d2 {
float: left;
clear: left;
background-color: rgba(0,255,0,0.3);
}
#d3 {
background-color: rgba(0,0,255,0.3);
clear: both;
position: relative;
left: 220px;
top: -430px;
}
