How to align text within div - html

I have 2 simple intertwining issues related to my Unordered List which have caused me hours of headache. Each li within the ul contains 1 image, and 3 divs. The divs are titlebox, locationbox, and pricebox. There is text inside each of these divs. A JsFiddle demo is below along with a screenshot of what I need.
The li looks like:
<li>
<center><img src="LINK_TO_PHOTO"></center>
<div class="titlebox">Circa 1930 on the River</div>
<div class="locationbox">Lawrencetown</div>
<div class="pricebox">Offered at $249,000</div>
</li>
My issues are:
I want the titlebox (and the text within it) to stretch the exact width as the image above it, so there's no overhang. This means the text will have to get bigger if the user's monitor is larger, because the image width is a % and is responsive, so the text-size must be responsive as well.
I also need the pricebox (bottom div) to sit at the bottom of the green box. And I want the location box to sit equally between the titlebox above, and the price box below.
The 3rd box has a title of 2 lines, but I still need the location "Medford" to be aligned with those to the left. So I can't use a margin-top: % here because it would push the third box's location/price down too far (since the 2 lined title).
Here is a screenshot of what I need. Screenshot
See how I need the title and price to stretch the same width as the image?
And here is what it currently looks like: jsFiddle
Any help whatsoever would be great! Thank you so much

I use the following to horizontally center block and inline elements...
CSS Class
.center
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
}
Note you will in some circumstances need to apply the CSS class to the parent element instead of directly to the element itself. Additionally if the width of the parent element is collapsed (e.g. using a float) you'll have to center that element as well by moving the class to the parent element's parent.

I am not sure this is the best way to solve your price spacing issue, but since you know there are 3 divs and one image, you could simply divide the height of a parenting div. Something like this:
#pictureBox
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
height: 50%;
}
#titleBox
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
height: 25%;
}
#locationBox
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
height: 15%;
}
#priceBox
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
height: 10%;
}
I am sure you will have to play around with the percentages until you find a reasonable space you like, but I think that would distribute the space properly.

Here's what I came up with given some of the things you were looking for: http://jsfiddle.net/00gdax7m/8/
.titlebox {
width: 80%;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 17px;
font-size: 1.9vw;
margin-left: 10%;
margin-right: 10%;
line-height: 100%;
font-family: Garamond;
color: #002000;
text-align: center;
height: 20%;
}
.locationbox {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 25px;
line-height: 100%;
font-family: Garamond;
color: #002000;
font-style: italic;
text-align: center;
height:20%;
}
.pricebox {
position:relative;
bottom:0;
width: 100%;
font-size: 32px;
line-height: 100%;
text-align: center;
font-family: Garamond;
color: #002000;
height: 20%;
}
.houseImage
{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 5px;
height: 36%;
}
Key notes:
I found an answer here which explains the use VW units which helps with your font sizing. The answer says to be careful of browser compatibility though. Pure CSS to make font-size responsive based on dynamic amount of characters
As another user mentioned. Make sure you are using CSS correctly to center.
To make your elements evenly space adjust the height % of your divs within the li (BlueBaroo answered similarly while I was typing)

Aligning last div elements

I've tried to align last div element / elements using text-align-last property but it didn't work. I have much divs in the center, but my page is different on each resolution so I can't control if elements will be perfectly and none of them will be in last line alone or so, that's why I want to align them to left.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ecn8c0pt/
Picture of my site:
Adding the following CSS will work.
http://jsfiddle.net/ecn8c0pt/1/
#gallery h2{
margin: 0;
height: 80px; /*Added height for the Heading */
font-size: 1.1em;
font-weight: 300;
color: #33CCFF;
}
.project{
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 15px 40px;
width: 156px; //To show in jsfiddle i reduced the width.
text-align: left;
float: left; //MUST CHANGE: Once you align left it will automatically float to left. Also the number of count per row will depends on the window width and div width.
}
.project .thumbnail{
width: 156px;//To show in jsfiddle i reduced the width.
height: 144px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
try adding styles to your CSS like these:
float:left;
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 200px;
and try to fix the width for the wrapping div tag
for example:
.wrapper {
width:1000px;
}
see in example DEMO and try to predict the width now when you control it good luck!

Div behaving like a link to index.html

So, what I am trying to do is divide the page (of width 700 pixels) in 60:40 ratio. In the 40 I want a pic, and the rest 60 text. I have used div to wrap both image and the text. But, the problem is that whenever I hover the cursor on the block, it acts as link to the index.html. I mean I want text selection over the text not hand cursor as default.
Here's the CSS, I am using:
#image {
width: 40%;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 50px;
float: left;
}
#contentwrap {
width: 60%;
float: left;
text-align: justify;
font-size: 18px;
height: 225px;
}
#contentwrap p {font-family: arial, helvetica;}
#contentwrap pre {
margin-top: 45px;
text-align: center;
}
The structure of html is as follows:
<div id = "image"><img src = "asd.jpg"></div>
<div id = "contentwrap"><pre> *text* </pre>
<p> *text*</p> </div>
Image is 175x175 px
That shouldn't be happening unless there is, indeed, a link OR you explicitly set cursor: pointer in your css. Try setting cursor: auto !important.

How can the centre column of a css page layout expand rightwards if right-hand column is empty?

I am trying to convert a three-column web-page layout from HTML tables to CSS, but there is one characteristic which I have so far been unable to replicate.
The HTML solution allows a photograph to be placed by php into a column to the right of the main text, but in the absence of a photograph, that column collapses, and the main text content extends up to a final right-hand 'spacing' column to maintain a right-hand margin.
So far, the only way I have found of achieving the three-column array in CSS is to use a container of fixed width, and to use fixed width styles for the div tags defining the columns, together with floats. The basis of the HTML code is:
<div class="container">
<div class="title_strip"><img src="headline_text.png"></div>
<div class="hdr_img_space"><img src="leaf_header.jpg"></div>
<div class="lh_col"><p align="center">ADMINISTRATION<br/>[WEBMASTER]</p></div>
<div class="main_content"><p>This is the location for the main administrative page
content, and will hopefully be able to contain all the necessary text, even if it
over-runs</p></div>
<div class="rh_image"><img class="rh" src="photo.jpg"></div>
<br style="clear: both"></div>
and the core CSS styling is:
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #200542;
}
p {color: #CCCCCC; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height:1.4em
}
.container {
width: 1000px;
min-height: 600px;
max-height: 2200px;
margin: 8px auto 0 auto;
background: #333333;
padding: 0px;
}
.main_content {
float: left;
min-height: 600px;
max-height: 2000px;
margin-left: 0px;
width: 516px;
padding-top: 20px;
background: #333333;
}
.lh_col {
float: left;
width: 200px;
min-height: 600px;
max-height: 2000px;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 24px;
margin: 0;
background: #333333;
}
.rh_image {
width: 200px;
min-height: 620px;
max-height: 2000px;
float: right;
padding-top 20px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
background: #333333;
}
img {
display: block;
}
.rh {
margin-top: 40px;
}
Because the columns are fixed width, the removal of the image tag leaves a wide gap to the right of the main text, and none of the suggestions I have found in web searches shows a satisfactory solution - generally the collapse of the right-hand column leaves the text layout in the centre column unchanged, despite the apparent availability of more space.
I want to avoid solutions which would give problems with browser compatibility - is there any way of achieving what I want in CSS, or shall I have to persist with the now deprecated use of the HTML table tag?
Peter N.
If I understand correctly, what you need is if there is no image in the right column, your main content should be without "gap", or complete layout should look like 2-column page, if so try this:
first thing is to move your
<div class="rh_image"> before
<div class="main_content">
next just adjust css like this:
.main_content {
min-height: 600px;
max-height: 2000px;
margin-left: 0px;
padding-top: 20px;
background: #333333;
}
it should do the trick
Sorry I just saw your fiddle

scrolling horizontally through divs

I am trying to make it possible to align divs with a lot of text horizontally, so you can scroll through them horizontally. Not really experienced and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong..
Here is my css:
#content {
font-size: 18px;
text-align: justify;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
overflow-x: auto;
height: 70%;
margin-top: 15%;
margin-bottom: 15%;
}
.item {
width: 50%;
max-height: 70%;
margin-bottom: 30px;
margin-top: 100px;
margin-left: 25%;
margin-right: 25%;
overflow: scroll;
}
Thanks!
I assume you want to put multiple .items into the #content and they should then wrap horizontally. Is that correct?
You would then need a wrapper over your #content that has a fixed width (this is going to be your 'scroll window'). The #content itself needs to be wider so that you can scroll it while the wrapper needs the property overflow-x:scroll. Since you don't know how wide your #content should be (except if you know the number of .item divs) I suggest to set it with Javascript. Finally it's important to have float: left in your .item, otherwise they won't wrap horizontally.
Additionally you could let JS set your #contents height to the heighest .item if you don't want this to be same for all .items.
Take a look at this fiddle if this is what you try to achieve.
Optionally you could use css3 columns. However you wouldn't yet use it, as you won't have any support for IE9 and below. See here how this works.

Use CSS to position elements within a DIV

I admit, I'm not that good at CSS. Must be my lack of design skills.
So I am trying to accomplish four small tasks.
Move the time box (i.e '01:04' and '12:13') so it floats to the right top edge of the image?
Move the description of the workout to display to the right of the image beneath the time box and the routineID?
Allow the bottom border of class 'routine' to always be right beneath the image just like it is to the top of the image.
keep class 'routine' the same size even if more text in description is added. I want every 'routine' to have the same width and height dimensions.
I have everything layed out here: http://jsfiddle.net/n2learning/xMsrN/
Sorry to be that annoying guy with four questions in one question. Any help is appreciated!
Here is an updated jsfiddle link: http://jsfiddle.net/n2learning/xMsrN/22/
Follow up questions and comments -
The 'workout description' is still jacked up. Trying to get this to display beneath the top row, which includes the 'time' and 'ID'. The top row will also (eventually) include small image symbols.
I just noticed that the image sizes are different. I tried modifying '.routineImage' to give it a width and height property, but doing that screwed things up. How/where do I standardize the size of each image? (the images are coming from youtube and other video sources)
<ul id="routinefilter">
<li class='routine' data-id="15">
<div class='routineImage'><img src=http://img.youtube.com/vi/UheCchftswc/2.jpg></div>
<div class="routineTimeID"> <!-- added wrapper to keep it a single row -->
<div class='routineID'>16</div>
<div class='routineTime'>01:04</div>
</div>
<div class='routineDesc'>Use lighter weights on a barbell due to higher counts</div>
</li>
</ul>
CSS
#routineframe {
height: 400px;
border: dashed;
font-family: Arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
cursor: pointer;
width: 60%;
overflow: auto;
}
#routinefilter {
list-style: none;
clear: both; /*keeps each <ul> seperate*/
}
.routine{
background: #F4F4F4;
color: #41383C;
font-size: 18px;
border:2px solid #666;
margin:5px;
padding:5px;
width: 95%;
overflow: hidden; /*allows this to contain the floats*/
}
.routine .routineImage{
position: relative;
float: left;
display: inline;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.routine .routineTime{
position: relative;
top: 0;
float: left; /*this was floated the wrong way*/
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 3px;
border: 1px solid #666;
background: white;
color: navy;
}
.routineTimeID { /*class added to keep the description from being in between the two elements*/
width:140px;
float: left;
}
.routine .routineID{
top: 0;
float: right;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border: 1px solid #666;
background: white;
}
.routine .routineDesc{
top: 0;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
font-size: 16px;
}
I tried to notate all the changes I made and why. I think i got all of them...
For the last question, though, you can't do this with CSS. As I understand it, you want the text size to automatically shrink if more text is added? That will have to be done with JavaScript, solution here
