In the following code, the #wrapper div contains the #left and the #right div. But they do not turn out to be contained inside the #wrapper div.
I want them to be treated as the content of the #wrapper div, so they are contained inside it, leaving the 10px padding applied to the #wrapper. Why are they displaced?
JSFiddle here.
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left">Alpha</div>
<div id="right">Bravo</div>
</div>
The CSS is as follows.
#wrapper {
background-color:grey;
border-top: 1px solid black;
border-botton: 1px solid black;
padding:10px;
}
#left {
background-color:yellow;
float:left;
}
#right {
background-color:pink;
float:right;
}
I want to solve this without manipulating position attributes of the #wrapper as that might disrupt the normal structure of my page (I'm afraid so).
Because you are floating them so they sit outside of the DOM flow. If you want the parent to consider them, add overflow: hidden to the parent CSS or add a div at the bottom of the container with the rule clear: both;
Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/cros1mrv/1/
You should set the overflow of your wrapper to overflow: auto to flow around your floating divs.
#wrapper {
background-color: grey;
border-top: 1px solid black;
border-botton: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px;
overflow: auto;
}
See this fiddle.
Because of floating. One way to clear that is to use:
#wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}

There is an odd problem here that I don't really understand.
I'm trying to just make the middle of the 3 vertical divs have another div inside it which has a black border and 10px of margin on all sides.
However, on the right side there is no visible margin, and on the bottom the div flows right out of the parent div and out of site into the footer.
What am I doing wrong? CSS for the middle div pair...
#mainContent {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#platter {
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 10px;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Lf7wuty0/1/
Solution: http://jsfiddle.net/efordek0/1/
Borders are applied outside of the element, therefore if your element is width:100%; with a border: 1px solid black;, the border will fall outside of your desired constraint.
Instead of applying a margin to the inner-div #platter, apply a padding to the outer div #mainContent. This way the 100% values will still apply but be subtracted by the 10px padding of the #mainContent and your borders remain inside the desired area.
Here's the correct solution : http://jsfiddle.net/5L4tnwtg/
The changes:
Add:
*{
box-sizing:border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
}
Modify:
#mainContent {
height: 100%;
width:100%;
padding: 10px;
}
#platter {
border: 1px solid black;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
I have a link and an inline div next to it (to the right). I want the div to occupy the rest of the space to the right. Is there a way to do that?
what<div style="display:inline-block;width:200px;border:1px solid red">hello</div>
If you can wrap a span around the div, like:
what<span><div>hello</div></span>
jsFiddle example
You can apply this CSS to get what you're after:
a {
background: #ccc;
float: left
}
span {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 4px 0 6px
}
div {
width: 100%;
display:inline-block;
border:1px solid red
}
You could wrap everything within a div and give it table and table cell to children:
http://jsfiddle.net/T4Qcd/
.inner{
border:1px solid red;
display:table-cell;
width:100%;
}
a{
display:table-cell;
}
.wrapper{
display:table;
}
You can do so by applying width to both anchor tag as well as the div.
a{
width:10%;
}
div{
width:90%;
}
Your html would be.
what
<div style="display:inline-block;border:1px solid red">hello</div>
Consider this:
<div id="parent">
This is some text
<div id="child">
<ul><li>test</li></ul>
This some other text
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#parent{line-height: 55px}
#child{line-height: 20px}
ul{ margin:0; padding:0; list-style:none}
Problem: Ths links in div "child" not getting line-height:20px. It's getting line-height:55px from the main "parent" div. I tried putting !important, but does not work.
But when I put line-height to the li, then it works.
Who said it's not getting the line-height: 22px;? The line-height of the parent element pushes #child down.
Demo
Demo (When child Inherits the parents line-height)
If you are wishing the child element to stick the parents text, than I think you are not using the right property, you should use padding-top instead.
#parent {
padding-top: 30px;
border: 1px solid #f00;
}
#child {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
Demo
After you edited your question, it still works as expected, I don't know what makes you think it doesn't work. In the below example, I've deliberately added more line-height for demo purpose.
Demo (After you edited your question)
#parent {
line-height: 55px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
#child {
line-height: 100px;
border: 1px solid #0f0;
}
ul {
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
}
ul li {
border: 1px solid #f00;
}
If this is all what you got in your document, than you are wrong, it it still doesn't work in any case, than specificity might be an issue for you which I cannot bet on, as I don't have sufficient resources from your side.
Following my code:
HTML:
<div>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<span>test</span>
</div>
CSS:
div{
width: 60px;
border-bottom: 1px solid red;
word-break:break-all;
}
span{
float: right
}
I would get this result: http://oi41.tinypic.com/2py25w1.jpg
I would like the text right-floated should not have to get out the div, so it must go to a new line inside the div when needed, as in the code that I posted.
In this case, for example, there is no need to let go of the text in a new line, because the text fits on the right of the text: http://jsfiddle.net/3kRan/2/
Set the overflow on your div to hidden like so:
div{
width: 60px;
border-bottom: 1px solid red;
word-break:break-all;
overflow: hidden;
}
Your contents are overflowing when the span tries to float. This will allow your span to stay within its parent container.
This answer depends on your ability to wrap your text in an element, such as p. The ending result would be:
<div><p>aaaaaaaaaa</p>
<span>test</span>
</div>
div{
width: 60px;
border-bottom: 1px solid red;
word-break:break-all;
height: 100%;
overflow: auto; /* fix to clear the parent */
}
p {
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
span{
float: right
}
Updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3kRan/5/
This is how i configured the divs in HTML
<div id="wrapper"><div id="content"><div id="details-middle" class="box">
..........content.........
</div></div></div>
And this the css for the div's
#wrapper {
border-radius: 12px;
font-size:13px;
line-height:140%;
width:1008px;
margin:0 auto;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom:15px;
}
#content {
margin-left:20px;
width:1008px;
}
#details-middle
{
float:left;
width:700px;
}
.box {border: 1px solid #CCC;
border-radius:12px;
margin-bottom:7px;
padding:10px 12px;
background-color: #FFF;
}
Everything is showing out of the div's ..
You are floating details-middle, which means non floated elements will not make room for it, unless they themselves are floated, or you clear the float.
My preferred solution is to give the parent overflow: hidden; which will force the parent to make room for its floated children:
#content
{
margin-left:20px;
width:1008px;
overflow: hidden; /* change here */
}
Not exactly sure what you're wanting, there isn't a lot of description in regards to your question, but you need:
$('#details-middle').text();
to gather just the text from that DIV.
If you're not wanting to display children elements of the DIV, then refer to this answer I gave recently - it might be your scenario too:
jQuery pull out text inside div but not in p tag
