I wanted to ask – if I have 3 columns of DIVs that I want to responsively change to 2 and 1 depending on the width of the user's screen (1 column for mobile devices) – what's the best way to do it? The div elements should simply stack under each other.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<!--left-->
<div class="col1">
</div>
<!--/left-->
<!--center-->
<div class="col2">
</div>
<!--/center-->
<!--right-->
<div class="col3">
</div>
<!--/right-->
</div>
</div>
<!-- /.container -->
Thank you!
PS My design looks like this:

you can accomplish this with the float property. You'll just need to clear the floats by adding overflow:hidden to the parent or using a clearfix:
FLOAT EXAMPLE
CSS
.row{
overflow: hidden;
}
.col{
background: red;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
float: left;
margin: 5px;
}
OR
You can use display: inline-block; to do the same
.col{
background: red;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
display: inline-block;
margin: 5px 2px;
}

How i can center div elements horizontally, so when i change the width of the browser, the last div go down with css?
So:
---||||-||||-||||---
--------||||--------
When i write:
<div style="float: left; position: relative; left: 50%;">
<div style="float: left; position: relative; left: -50%;">
<div style="width:315px; height:340px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Text</div>
<div style="width:315px; height:340px; float: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Text</div>
...
</div>
</div>
Then after a element go down, all div elements go to the left side.
I would recommend using display: inline-block on the elements and then using text-align: center on the container to handle the centering you want:
I cleaned up your HTML but here is the basic HTML formatting with a container class and multiple (as many as you want) block class DIVs:
<div class="container">
<div class="block">Text</div>
<div class="block">Text</div>
<div class="block">Text</div>
</div>
The CSS modifies the display settings of the blocks and the text-alignment of the container:
div.block {
display: inline-block; /* this changes the elements to behave more like inline elements (think <span>s) */
width: 315px;
margin: 10px 0;
height: 340px;
}
div.container {
width: 100%;
text-align: center; /* this is the magic that centers the elements */
}
I put together a small demo that should help demonstrate this method: JSFIDDLE
Be Aware: a small 'quirk' exists with the display: inline-block CSS. it causes a small amount of space to occur between the elements. This can be removed multiple ways, my preferred methods being either using comments or wrapping the closing tags of the DIVs. (the issue is caused by the return/spaces between the elements in the HTML):
<div class="container">
<div class="block">Text</div><!--
--><div class="block">Text</div><!--
--><div class="block">Text</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="block">Text</div
><div class="block">Text</div
><div class="block">Text</div>
</div>
reference for the quirk behavior
Create a container <div> that is 100% of a given area. Then set each <div>'s width inside the container to be a % and float: left;. They'll stack next to each other until they do not fit and will break to the next line.
.container {
width: 100%;
}
.three {
width: 33%;
min-width: 225px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="three">
<p>Something</p>
</div>
<div class="three">
<p>Something</p>
</div>
<div class="three">
<p>Something</p>
</div>
</div>
Run the snippet.
You could use media queries to write different css code for different sizes:
Media Queries
There are some answers to a similar question already, but this one has a twist.
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-3 grey">
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="info">(i)</div>
<div class="text"><div class="labeled">This is a long text</div></div>
<div class="icon">[$]</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-12 col-sm-9 green">
Content
</div>
</div>
So I need three divs, aligned in one line at all conditions - info, text, icon - with two divs on the sides having fixed h/w, and one in the middle taking only as much space, as
either it needs, and not more
or is available for it, cutting the context with overflow:hidden
Here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/L7tmt5w1/3/
Here are my mad skills in sketching ideas http://imgur.com/tF0HkD2
For those, who want to feel my pain, you may also try re-ordering the divs - text, icon, info - when the screen size goes mobile (bootstrap's col-xs-)
You can use the display: table-cell; method for this situation:
.wrapper {
display: table;
text-align: right;
width: 100%;
}
.info {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: table-cell;
background-color: #005ea8;
color: #fff;
}
.icon {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: table-cell;
background-color: #eb690b;
color: #fff;
}
.text {
display: table-cell;
background-color: #ccc;
width: auto;
}
This mimics the table display properties and keeps all the children of .wrapper inline and the middle one "elastic" as it has no defined width. You can also remove the floats.
http://jsfiddle.net/L7tmt5w1/7/
maybe this solution will help you DEMO
<aside class="panel">
...
</aside>
<div class="content">
...
</div>
.content {
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid;
}
.panel {
float: right;
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid;
}
You can try this http://jsfiddle.net/L7tmt5w1/3/
Remember: If you want to float an element to the right, it must be the first element. For example:
<div style="float:right"></div>
<div style="float:left"></div>
AND DIV's are already block elements, so you don't have to add display:block to a DIV-element
I don't know if this is what you want: jsfiddle
if not content on "text" no div... if too much content it's hidden
(but you can add
overflow:auto
to the text div for scroll bars
I want to place divs next to each other. I dont't know number of divs, since this is dynamically created and changed. I would like to have one parent div which will have scrollbar in case there are many child divs (and their width is greater than parent).
Here's the jsFiddle example. So, basically I would like to have all this three columns, next to each other and with scrollbar on the bottom of parent div.
HTML:
<div class="content">
<div class="column">Column</div>
<div class="column">Column</div>
<div class="column">Column</div>
</div>
CSS:
content {
width: 100px;
background- color: #355E95;
overflow: visible;
}
.column {
width: 50px;
display: inline-block;
}
Add white-space:nowrap to your parent div.
FIDDLE
You would need to use a content div for the scroll and then a wrapper for the columns, adjusting the width of the wrapper to fit all 3 of your columns (150px in your example).
The column structure is made by floating div's left, but it will float to the width of your parent container, in this case your parent container is only 100px so we need to add a wrapper for them to fit inside.
If you also want a vertical scroll you will need to set a height to your container.
Jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tYnH3/
css:
.content {
width: 100px;
background-color: #355E95;
overflow: auto;
}
.content-wrapper {
width: 150px;
}
.column {
width: 50px;
float: left;
}

<div class="content">
<div class="content-wrapper">
<div class="column">

I have an issue with floating divs. I have a container st to fixed width, and I have child elements inside that which are all div elements. What I want is that, I need two elements to be shown in a row. The code that I wrote is as follows.
CSS
#container
{
width: 400px;
}
.item1
{
width: 180px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
}
.item2
{
width: 180px;
height: 250px;
border: 1px solid red;
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
}
HTML
<div id="container">
<div class="item1">1</div>
<div class="item1">2</div>
<div class="item1">3</div>
<div class="item1">4</div>
<div class="item1">5</div>
<div class="item1">6</div>
<div class="item1">7</div>
<div class="item1">8</div>
<div class="item1">9</div>
</div>
This can be viewed at Demo1
But what I want is like this result. The only thing is that the height of the individual items can be different.
Hope I have made everything clear.
Thanks in advance
Additional clarification
The content elements will be generated dynamically in server and will be passed to the client.
Also the order should be like 1,2,3,4,...
The only thing is that in a row there should be two items and the first one should be aligned to the left side of the container.
You can't accomplish that with CSS only, but there is a jQuery plugin to do the trick. It's called jQuery Masonry, give it a try
You need a second wrapper:
<div id="container">
<div class="wrapper"><div class="item1">1</div></div>
<div class="wrapper"><div class="item1">2</div></div>
...
</div>
Float the wrapper and give it a fixed size. The items inside can have their own height.
I prefer using lists for this type of thing. Better HTML semantics.
<div class="container">
<ul>
<li><div class="item1">1</div></li>
<li><div class="item2">2</div></li>
</ul>
</div>
style:
.container ul {
width:400px;
}
.container li {
float:left;
height:200px;
width:180px;
}
If you want each pair of items to be in a row, and you have control over the dynamic generation of the content, see my edits to your fiddle here
To summarize:
Markup -
<div id="container">
<div class="itemrow">
<div class="item1">1</div>
<div class="item1">2</div>
</div>
<div class="itemrow">
<div class="item2">3</div>
<div class="item1">4</div>
</div>
<div class="itemrow">
<div class="item2">5</div>
<div class="item1">6</div>
</div>
<div class="itemrow">
<div class="item1">7</div>
<div class="item2">8</div>
</div>
<div class="itemrow">
<div class="item1">9</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS -
#container
{
width: 400px;
}
.itemrow
{
float: left;
clear: both;
}
.item1
{
width: 180px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid red;
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
}
.item2
{
width: 190px;
height: 250px;
border: 1px solid red;
float: left;
margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
}
Edit: Just read your above comment about having to edit the server side logic for rendering. Obviously this will only work if you can control that.
you're specifying item2 to be 10 pixels wider than item1 so I'm not clear on what you're trying to do....
I'm reworking a layout currently using tables for a two-column design, and ran into some problems.
<div id="frame">
<div id="leftcol">
<div id="1">blah</div>
</div>
<div id="leftcol">
<div id="2">blah</div>
<div id="3">blah</div>
</div>
</div>
#leftCol
{
margin-right: 10px;
width: 49%;
float: left;
}
#rightCol
{
width: 49%;
float: left;
}
Originally I had a two-columned table with width=100% - this worked perfectly in Firefox, but in IE the table overflowed the #frame div container. I removed this table and added two floated divs, but I still have issues getting the columns to be equal.
All of my content resides inside the div #frame, which has height constraints as well as padding and a margin (I use this to leave a "gutter" around the edge of the page).
I need the two floated DIV columns to be the same width, and sit next to each other with a 10px (ish) gutter in between. I tried making both width: 50%, but this fails because the container they are in (#frame) is smaller width-wise then the whole body of the page. (If I get rid of the gutter padding, it works in FF but still not in IE.
Making each column width: 49% works, but looks ugly as the size changes between browsers and the right column does not line up with the edge of the #frame container.
I tried doing this before but ultimately went back to tables 9since it seemed to be working), but now that I see it's incompatible with IE I've been working for hours to find a cross-browser css solution. Any ideas?
Setting each column to 50% should work, if you make sure they don't have any margins or paddings.
If they need padding, put in an extra wrapper div, that can have as much padding/margins as neccesary.
For the gutter in between, you could give these wrapper divs a border on left/right side to make it look like a space in between the columns.
Posting a full code example (on jsbin.com for example) would also help us understand your problem more easily. :)
I think you might benefit from a css framework like 960gs or blueprint css it allows absolute grid placement and is cross browser compatible out of the box.
http://www.blueprintcss.org/
http://960.gs/
If you know the width of the frame, you can do this
#frame {
background-color: green;
width: 500px;
overflow: auto;
}
#leftCol
{
width: 245px;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
#rightCol
{
width: 245px;
float: right;
background-color: blue;
}
<div id="frame">
<div id="leftCol">
<div id="1">blah</div>
</div>
<div id="rightCol">
<div id="2">blah</div>
<div id="3">blah</div>
</div>
</div>
Otherwise, an add an extra div, and do this
<div id="frame">
<div id="leftCol">
<div id="hack">
<div id="1">blah</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="rightCol">
<div id="2">blah</div>
<div id="3">blah</div>
</div>
</div>
#frame {
background-color: green;
width: 500px;
overflow: auto;
}
#leftCol
{
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
#hack {
margin-right: 10px;
background-color: red;
}
#rightCol
{
width: 50%;
float: right;
background-color: blue;
}
Ok here you go. This is how it can be achieved.
CSS
#leftCol, #rightCol{
width: 48%;
float: left;
background: red;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#leftCol{
margin-right: 1%;
}
#rightCol{
margin-left: 1%;
}
HTML
<div id="frame">
<div id="leftcol">
<div id="1">blah</div>
</div>
<div id="rightCol">
<div id="2">blah</div>
<div id="3">blah</div>
</div>
</div>
If you need here is the vendor prefix for box-sizing.
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
Note that you have typo in your HTML wher both div are called #leftCol. There is no#rightCol.
