I'm pretty sure this is fairly easy, but i'm stumped.
I am working on a responsive layout design. Regardless of the size of the page, I always want there to be a 10px margin on the left and a 10px margin on the right. I am able to achieve the 10px margin on the left, but I can't figure out the right margin. How would I do this with css? I can estimate the % width based how much space I want on the right, but obviously as the page size scales so does this margin. How do I always keep margin-right? Here is an example of my code:
form {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
'form' sits inside '#wrap' and '.left' all of which have the same margin-right applied:
#wrap {
width: 95%;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #CCC;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px#CCC;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #CCC;
background-color: #fff;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
.left {
float: left;
text-align: left;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-left: 18px;
font-weight: lighter;
font-size: 12px;
color: #777777;
padding-top: 10px;
width: 100%;
margin-right: 10px;
}
This will do the magic:
form {
width: auto;
display: block;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
}
The problem is that the form ends up being 100% the width of its parent container plus the 20px for the two margins.
It would be easier to set the form inside a parent element and put padding on that. e.g.
body{
padding:0px 10px;
}
form {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
}

Why is the floated image being moved next to a paragraph inside of a div move outside of that div when I float other div elements?
For example, I have a div class with a paragraph in it and that when I float the image inside of that class it wraps around it the way I want?
.container {
margin:0px auto;
width: 1400px;
background-image: url(back.png);
padding-top:10px;
height: 2000px;
}
.main {
background-color: #f7f4f4;
margin-right: 600px;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 10px #705656;
border-radius: 10px;
border: 2px solid red;}
.green {
border: 2px solid blue;
width: 400px;
margin-right: 40px;
background-color: #8bed8f;
float: right;}
.aside {
background-color: #f47575;
width: 400px;
margin-right: 40px;
border-radius: 4px;
float: right;
clear: right;}
.trac input[type=button] {
background-color: #9b878b;
font: weight: bold;
font-size:15px;
color: white;
border-radius: 6px;
border: none;
padding: 20px 10px;
margin-left: 300px;
margin-top: 5px;}
.tmac {
float: left; }
If I understanded your problem (the question you asked is a bit messy), you have to consider that floating HTML elements wraps to the closest position relative container.
If you want to stick a float to a specific container, you just have to add to the CSS class of that container the rule position: relative
I'm having a problem on my new website. But first I should give you some information.
I'm building a full responsive website with a portfolio. My portfolio images stands in a DIV and response to the screen size. On a screen with more then 1005px it's working perfect. Also the scaling works great. This is because the following CSS line:
#media only screen and (max-width: 1005px) {
The div with my image is newtextportfolio. The image itself doesn't use CSS except 100% width and height. When i give my div the follow definition (height: auto;) i get a white line under my images. And i don't want the white line :(
.newtextportfolio {
width: calc(95% + 10px);
height: auto;
margin-right: 25px;
}
I can make it disappear if I make the height for example 200px. But when I view my site on an iPad this makes the images stretch (because it's fixed and not responsive).
Does anyone know how i can make the white line disappear? I already tried some things with calc, percentages but this also makes the line, only fixed pixels doesn't.

Make the img element display:block.
https://jsfiddle.net/jmarikle/95gsk2tu/
An alternative approach is to give the image vertical-align: top;. This is being caused by the fact that images are inline elements with some block attributes. They retain line height, letter spacing, etc. Block level elements do not have those added calculations to their size, and aligning vertically collapses the attributes that cause the gap at the bottom.
I have the following code:
.mod-prb {
display: block;
width: 250px;
height: 35px;
border: 2px solid #809097;
border-radius: 8px;
padding: 3px;
}
.mod-prb > div {
display: block;
height: 20px;
height: 30px;
border: inherit;
border-radius: 8px;
text-align: right;
padding: 0 10px;
}
<div class="mod mod-prb">
<div class="perc"></div>
</div>
The problem is that the <div class="perc"> can go up to width:95%;. How would I go about calculating pixels so that I can use JS 1%-100%. To clarify: I'm adding width with JS, so that's not an issue.
Why this happens
This issue is happening because you are setting the width to 100%, but the inner box also has a padding of 10px (in left and right) and a border of 2px. That makes it have an actual width of 100% of its parent width + 20px (10px margin on both sides) + 4px (2px border on both sides).
How to fix it
You could fix it in different ways. The easiest one would be to use box-sizing with a value of border-box:
The width and height properties include the padding and border, but not the margin.
The code would look like this (note how the height changes too):
.mod-prb {
display: block;
width: 250px;
height: 35px;
border: 2px solid #809097;
border-radius: 8px;
padding: 3px;
}
.mod-prb > div {
display: block;
height: 35px;
width:100%;
border: inherit;
border-radius: 8px;
text-align: right;
padding: 0 10px;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
<div class="mod mod-prb">
<div class="perc"></div>
</div>
I am trying to make an expandable div that will have a minimum width of 200 px but will expand if the content is longer. the problem is the width always displays as 100%, If i put a width: 200px it will stay 200 and will not expand.
This is my CSS code for the div:
#section_title {
background-color: #2b65ae;
border-radius: 10px;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 5px 30px 0px;
background-size: 100% 100%;
font-size: 24px;
min-width: 200px;
height: 30px;
text-align: center;
font-style: italic;
margin: 0 auto;
text-transform: uppercase;
-moz-box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px #444444;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px #444444;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 8px #444444;
}
You may use display:table properties to achieve this :
Update your CSS with :
display:table;
width: 200px;
DEMO , using just words and white-space to keep all on one line for the demo purpose.
You can use this
div {
float: left; /* or right according to your requirement */
width: auto;
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 100%;
}
This will keep the minimun width 200, will expand on more content and won't go beyond 100% width.
Try like this:
#section_title {
display:inline-block;
width: auto;
min-width: 200px;
max-width:100%;
}
Updated fiddle
If it's just for one line of content, then you can add a float to your css.
#section_title {
min-width: 200px;
height: 60px;
background-color: rgb(14,87,145);
float: left;
}

Ok this is my problem:
The left float and right float are somehow not put into my container and the footer only pays attention to the middle content part. What am I doing wrong?
I could show it with a picture but I cannot add one because I don't have 10 rep.
It must be a simple fix, I have read about clear:both etc but that all does not work unfortunately.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve without knowing your html structure, but the problem stems from the fact that you have absolute positioning on your left and right containers as well as a floted positioning.
The default positioning for a html element is static, so you either float everything or absolute position everything. Here's something to help you understand positioning better, it's very easy and you'll be on your way in 5 minutes: http://www.barelyfitz.com/screencast/html-training/css/positioning/
Also, you should post a jsfiddle link with the html included so we'll understand better what you are trying to achieve if you need further help. My guess is that Rohit Azad's solution is correct, you just have trouble understanding positioning.
Hi i check to your code i think you want to this

</div>
