I know there's millions of questions like that, but no approach really helps me. First my code and my fiddle (very simplified because it's from GWT):
<div class="row">
<div class="inline minfirst">Password</div>
<div class="inline min">
<div class="inline"><input type="text" class="text pwd" /></div>
<div class="inline"><button class="toggleButton pwdToggle" /></div>
</div>
.row {
padding-top: 5px;
}
.inline {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.minfirst {
min-width: 200px;
}
.inline.minfirst {
font-size: 0.85em;
}
.min {
min-width: 380px;
}
.text {
border-radius: 22px;
padding-left: 0.5em;
padding-right: 0.5em;
margin: 0;
}
.pwdToggle {
text-align: right;
float: right;
margin-left: 30px;
}
.pwd {
height: 1.85em;
width: 100%;
font-size: 0.6em;
}
.toggleButton {
width: 65px;
height: 34px;
font-weight: bold;
}
What I want to achieve is that the div with the input inside takes up the remaining space of the div with classes "inline" and "min" and the input should take all space inside of the div. But what happens now is that the input is bigger than its parent div and that makes everything behave weird.
I hope you're well aware of CSS property box-sizing: border-box;.
you've given padding to your input field along with width:100% viz causing the extra height as well as width and i.e. why its bigger than its parent div.
Here JSFiddle
I've edited please check.
The general problem is that you have table-cells without a table.
If you define the outer .row as a fixed table with 100% width you are on your way.
I've created a fiddle
The new code for the .row is:
.row { display:table; table-layout: fixed; width:100%; }
Take a look :-)

I make grid system and i have encountered "strage" behaviour of block
for example
HTML:
<div class="l_row">
<div class="l_cell"></div>
<div class="l_cell"></div>
<div class="l_cell"></div>
<div class="l_cell"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.l_row {
min-width: 0px;
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
margin: 2rem auto;
}
.l_row:before, .l_row:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
.l_row:after {
clear: both;
}
.l_cell {
float: left;
padding-right: 15px;
width: 25%;
}
.l_row .l_cell:last-child {
padding-right: 0px;
}
And if .l_cell have some content at least one symbol 1, a, - works well, but if .l_cell is empty it collapses to width:0 and ignoring width in css
Your layout can be fixed with a few minor adjustments.
(1) If you add padding to .l_cell, this will increase the box width and the four .l_cell blocks with width 25% will not fit on a single line. You can fix this by using box-sizing: border-box which will force .l-cell to keep the over width to 25% while also including the 20px right padding.
(2) The "zero collapse width" effect is due to the nature of the floats. Since you did not specify a height or minimum height, any float without content will have zero height but with 25% width. If you have a sequence of floats as in your example, the left edges of the floats will be positioned to the left as far as possible until they hit the right edge of a previous float. If a float has zero height, it has no right edge, to it appears to have zero width. If you add a min-height value, all the floats will position themselves as you expect.
.l_row {
min-width: 0px;
width: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
margin: 2rem auto;
}
.l_row:before, .l_row:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
.l_row:after {
clear: both;
}
.l_cell {
box-sizing: border-box;
float: left;
padding-right: 20px;
width: 25%;
min-height: 20px;
}
.l_cell:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: beige;
}
.l_cell:nth-child(even) {
background-color: lightblue;
}
.l_row .l_cell:last-child {
padding-right: 0px;
}
<div class="l_row">
<div class="l_cell">x1</div>
<div class="l_cell"></div>
<div class="l_cell">x3</div>
<div class="l_cell"></div>
</div>
use   inside it to achieve what you are looking for.
For instance,
<div class="l_cell"> </div>
This considers the div as a block with content.
Hope this helps.

.col {
border-top: 1px solid white;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
padding-top: 1rem;
padding-bottom: 1rem;
min-height: 1px;
}
I have a <div> called "bottom" which holds 2 divs together. The 2 divs inside are "manufacturers" and "main" which are located side by side with each other. What I want is that the <div id="bottom"> must be auto resizable when either the two divisions expands (the <div id="main"> lists down all the available products that is why it also has an auto height). The problem is that when I use a float property or a "display: inline" property in the main and manufacturers divs it overrides the bottom div causing it not to expand.
here's my css code:
#bottom{
padding: 1.5em;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 3.7em;
margin-bottom: 5em;
background-color: white;
width: 67em;
height: auto;
}
#manufacturers{
padding: 1em;
width: 13em;
height: auto;
border: 1px solid #CFCFCF;
font-size: 17px;
float: left;
}
#main{
float: right;
padding: 0.5em;
width: 47em;
height: 10em;
background: blue;
position: relative;
display: inline;
}
In your case element with ID "bottom" collapsed because of elements inside have floats (left or right). You should use clearfix class with #bottom:
.clearfix: before,
.clearfix: after {
display: table;
content: " "
}
.clearfix: after {
clear: both
}
Answer to question about "clearfix"
#main{
display: inline-block;
}
you could try this:
#bottom{
width: 100%;
}
#manufacturers{
width: 50%;
}
#main{
width: 50%;
}
Add above css properties in your existing CSS stylesheet. Apart from it:
Expanding Downward to fit the content is the expected behavior. If you have specified floats somewhere in your style you may need to clear them.
<div style="clear:both"></div>
Example
There is a margin-bottom set for each sidebar-block of 10px, it appears as the inner div which is sidebar-block.body is flowing out of the container.
I researched and debugged and cannot find the cause for this, the only time I use floats is on the main #sidebar itself.
HTML
<div id="sidebar">
<div class="sidebar-block">
<div class="sidebar-block title"><div class="text-with-margin">profile</div></div>
<div class="sidebar-block body"></div>
</div>
<div class="sidebar-block">
<div class="sidebar-block title"><div class="text-with-margin">forum activity</div> </div>
<div class="sidebar-block body"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#sidebar {
float: right;
width: 268px;
margin-top: 10px;
}
.sidebar-block {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.sidebar-block.title {
background-color: #2E392F;
min-height: 47px;
color: white;
font-size: 1.2em;
}
.sidebar-block.body {
overflow: hidden;
background-color: white;
}
.text-with-margin {
width: 100%;
padding: 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em 0.5em;
display: block;
}
Fixed, it was because I used .sidebar-block title, .sidebar-block body in a way so that the css for .sidebar-block would automatically be applied to them, not my intention so I renamed the divs.
According to your comment. Change your code for that
#sidebar > .sidebar-block
{
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/fvjw5/1/
You have to set the maximum width of the Sidebar element.
As it is, the Sidebar element does not have a fixed size, which will nullify the
.text-with-margin {
width: 100%; // The width. You should change this.
...
}
See this post for information about position: CSS Positions
You should try something like:
#sidebar {
width: 100%; // Or whatever size you want the sidebar to be.
position: relative; // You can play with this for different results.
...
}

Responsive web design
I would like to understand the correct way to align different size type between different div classes. Right now, the code forces the smaller type to align with the top of the larger type. How do I align the type across all divs on the same typography baseline with the cleanest code. This seems like really easy stuff, but I cannot find an answer.
I also hope this is semantically correct (I am trying to create a row of data that is responsive and can resize and rearrange (float) on different devices). All suggestions welcome.
Link to Demo
You need to adjust the line-height and possibly the vertical margins for each font size so the match a baseline grid.
I'd recommend reading this : http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012/12/17/css-baseline-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/
Sounds like you need CSS' line-height property. That way you can make the lines of text the same height but affect font-size separately
#artist { /* Selector to affect all the elements you want */
color: #000;
font-size: 18px; /* Default font size */
line-height:18px; /* Line height of largest font-size you have so none go */
/* above the top of their container */
}
Demo
Adjusting where text is placed is done with padding and margin. but for this setting a p class to each of your divs gives you control of wher eyou want text placement within the div. of course your padding will vary for your baseline shift since you have mutiple em sizes of your fonts. fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/rnEjs/
#artist {
padding: 5px;
float: left;
width: 100%;
background-color: #036;

I found a good answer to your question from this Stackoverflow thread: Why is vertical-align:text-top; not working in CSS.
The gist of it is the following:
Understand the difference between block and inline elements. Block elements are things like <div> while inline elements are things like <p> or <span>.
Now, vertical-align attribute is for inline elements only. That's why the vertical-align didn't work.
Using the Chrome dev tool, you can tinker with your demo and see that it works: specifically, inside <div> tags, put <span> tag with appropriate style.
I have fixed height divs that contain text in them. I would like the text to be vertically aligned in the middle of the div, but the problem lies in the fact that some of the text is single-line, and some splits itself over onto two lines. For IE8, Chrome and Firefox, using display: table-cell and vertical-align: middle provides the solution I need:
JS Fiddle is here. Take the asterisk off the width: 300px to see the formatting when the text is on one line.
However, IE7 does not support the display: table-cell property. The only solutions I have found to this apply only to single lines, and not to text that may be 1 or 2 lines. How can I have it display in IE7 as it does in more modern browsers, without the use of any scripts?
How about an IE7 CSS call putting position:relative on the div, and absolute on the h6, and keep the code for vertical-align for modern browsers.
http://jsfiddle.net/yap59cn3/
<!--[if IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie7.css">
<![endif]-->
ie7.css
div
{
/* Use inheritance, and override only the declarations needed. */
position:relative;
}
h6
{
height:auto; /* override inherited css */
position:absolute;
top:45%;
}
The goal is to make IE7 "presentable" -- no matter what you do, it will never look as pretty as a modern browser. To me, it's not worth the headache (not even a little).
Personally I've started to (ab)use padding to get vertical aligns. It's especially handy if you use fixed height, since you can offset the height with the value of the padding to get a perfect full-height element.
Note: This solution only works if you know what text will come in the <h6> in advance. If you dynamically add it, I'd suggest wordcounting to try to figure out if it's gonna wrap or not.
Solution:
HTML
<div>
<h6 class="OneLineVertCentered">Here is some text. Look at this lovely text. Isn't it nice?</h6>
</div>
<div style="margin-top: 1em;"> <!-- Margin only for displaying the boxes properly -->
<h6 class="TwoLineVertCentered">Here is some text. Look at this <br />
lovely two-line text. Isn't it nice?</h6>
</div>
CSS
div {
background-color: yellow;
height: 30px;
width: 200px;
width: 300px;
}
h6.OneLineVertCentered,
h6.TwoLineVertCentered {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1em;
}
h6.OneLineVertCentered {
padding-top: 10px;
}
h6.TwoLineVertCentered {
padding-top: 3px;
}
Fiddle:

Snippet (same as fiddle):
div {
background-color: yellow;
height: 30px;
width: 200px;
width: 300px;
}
h6.OneLineVertCentered,
h6.TwoLineVertCentered {

You can use a helper span element to vertical align your text like the following example:
html
<div class="container">
<span class="aligner"></span>
<h3>Text to be aligned center in the beloved ie7</h3>
</div>
css
div.container {
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
height: 300px;
width: 250px;
position:relative;
margin:12px auto;
text-align:center;
}
.aligner {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
content: ' ';
margin-right: -0.25em;
vertical-align: middle;
}
h3 {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/groumisg/dbx4rr0f/
Normally, we would use a pseudo element for this, but ie7 (what a surprise!) does not support :after, :before...etc. Also, note that ie7 does not support display: inline-block for elements that are not inline by default, like div. To use display: inline-block for a div you would have to use the following hack:
div {
display: inline-block;
*display: inline;
zoom: 1;
}
as suggested here Inline block doesn't work in internet explorer 7, 6
You should be able to accomplish this with line-height and vertical-align: middle;.
div {
background-color: yellow;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px;
width: 200px;
*width: 300px;
}
h6 {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1em;
height: 30px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
check this out
http://jsfiddle.net/CnmKN/59/
CSS Code
div {
background-color: yellow;
height: 30px;
width: 200px;
*width: 300px;
display:table;
}
h6 {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1em;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
height:90px;
}
I know two other methods to vertically center elements than with table-cell:
1) With line-height:
.element {
height: 60px;
line-height: 60px
}
This will only work if the text is in a single line.
2) position absolute/margin auto
.parentElement {
position: relative;
}
.element {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
margin: auto 0;
}
You maybe will have to use height (auto or a value) and display inline/inline-block. Just try.
Key point is not to use pixels for alignment, use only %-s.
Works even on IE5 :)
here is Demo
.wrapper{
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 200px; /* change this value to see alignment*/
background-color: red;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.cell{
position: absolute;
display:block;
background-color: blue;
left:50%;
top:50%; /*this puches element half down*/
margin-left:-100px; /* this is the half size of cell width:200px;*/
margin-top: -.5em; /*this is the half size of font size*/
width: 200px;
color: #fff;
text-align:center;
}
<div class='wrapper'>
<div class='cell'>vertically aligned text</div>
</div>
div {
background-color: yellow;
height: 400px;
width: 200px;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 300px;
}
h6 {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1em;
height: 30px;
}
