I am trying to make a header with a search input and the name of the user next to each other. As the name of the user can be very long, the search input has to vary its width (as well as the username div). Like the image below:
<div class="container">
<div class="left" style="width: 80%">DYNAMIC WIDTH - search input</div>
<div class="right" style="width: 20%">SHORT NAME</div>
</div>
codepen is here.
I'm setting the width manually there (80% and 20%, or 70% and 30%), I want it to change dynamically according to the name's length and both div's have to sum 100%.
It looks very simple but I can't think of a way of doing it.
Thanks for any help!
It easier to set them as display: table-cell elements, since cells adjust their width to fit the parent.
If you set the left div to width: 100% it will always take the remaining space left by right div:
http://jsfiddle.net/fzmj5q2r/
.container {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.left {
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
background: red;
}
.right {
display: table-cell;
background: green;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Have you tried setting the margins to auto? Like so:
<div style="margin-left:auto; margin-right: auto;">Sample Text</div>

All I did was have a wrap, inside your input and name ...name is over the input text
Tell me if this is a solution that works for you
.name {
position:absolute;
right:0;
top:0;
height:100%;
background:red;
padding:20px;
vertical-align:middle;
box-sizing:border-box;
}

Hi,
See the screenshot, I'd like to know how I can fit my simple countdcown to always take 100% of the screen? I've made it to fit my phone, but Id like it to be 100% on the desktop aswell.
What I've tried:
html{
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
body{
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
But, this will only make the body 100%..
Where do I start? Does anybody have a tutorial or anything?
A simple example of using vw or vh (viewport), try it and you will see the difference.
Also with to center your element. you could use:
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
Vertical Centering
REF: https://philipwalton.github.io/solved-by-flexbox/demos/vertical-centering/
Viewport
REF: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozilla/Mobile/Viewport_meta_tag
body {
margin: 0;
}
.test1 {
background: red;
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.test2 {
background: green;
width: 100vw;
height: 300px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.innerwraper {
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
background: aqua;
}
<div class="test1">
<div class="innerwraper">This is 100% width</div>
</div>
<div class="test2">
<div class="innerwraper">This is 100vw</div>
</div>
Automatically the height and the width of the body is 100% and it can not be changed to an other value so your code is unuseful.
To make the content take bigger height and width you should modify the css height and weight properties of the content (buttons, text inputs, divs, etc).
You will have to define all sizes, lengths and widths in 'vw' and 'vh'. It stands for viewport width and viewport height. This will tell the browser to render every objects size relative to the width of the screen (or height, depending on what you choose).
In your example every object should be about 20vh heigh, with a margin of 5vh. Four objects make then a perfect 100vh (100% viewport height).
You could start with this css:
input, div {height: 20vh; margin: 5vh 1vh;}
You can wrap the entire combination of buttons and views in a div, for example:
<div id = "wrapper"> </div>
Then inside of the div modify each element's height and width based on percentages. For example, you have 4 elements vertically, and three buttons on the bottom. So your three buttons on the bottom could be further wrapped in another div making them act as one element. Then you can split the 4 elements to height: 25%; and make width inherited.
So it would look something like this:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="element"> insert element here such as input </div>
<div class="element"> element here such as input button </div>
<div class="element"> element here such as counter </div>
<div class="element">
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.element{
height:25%;
width:inherit;
}
#wrapper{
height:100%;
width: 100%;
}
Above all the properties inside the block of codes if there is no * {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
The Content will not fit in...
I want to create two divs beside each other, however I want the one on the left side to be 300px, and the right one to take up the remaining amount on the screen. How would that be possible? Thanks!
The most straight-forward (and I would say correct) way is to use display: table:
#wrapper {
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
#left, #right {
display: table-cell;
color: white;
}
#left {
background: blue;
width: 300px;
}
#right {
background: red;
}
<section id="wrapper">
<aside id="left">Left 300px</aside>
<div id="right">Right the rest</div>
</section>
http://jsfiddle.net/YbLZE/1/
Try resizing the bottom right frame.
Updated with HTML5 elements section and aside, which you should use if you have an HTML5 doctype. I have to remember to use those...
This is the working example:
http://jsfiddle.net/tnm62/
Explenation:
1. Place both elements in one container.
2. Position your left element absolute, set its width to 300px.
3. Set left margin to your right element to 300px.
One solution is to float: left; the left div that's 300px wide, and then apply overflow: hidden; to your right div. Here's the basic outline:
HTML:
<div class = "left">
Glee is awesome!
</div>
<div class = "right">
Glee is awesome!
</div>
CSS:
.left {
width: 300px;
float: left;
}
.right {
overflow: hidden;
}
And a little demo: little link.
Here's something for newer browsers (not IE):
CSS:
#container {
display: box;
}
#left {
width: 400px;
}
#right {
box-flex: 1;
}
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="left">Left</div>
<div id="right">Right</div>
</div>
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/N5zhH/1/
This should be sufficient:
<div style="overflow: hidden;">
<div style="width: 300px; float: left;"></div>
<div style="margin-left: 300px;"></div>
</div>
overflow: hidden will stretch the container div to accommodate the tallest child element
float: left floats the element left (doh!)
width: 300px and margin-left: 300px together assures that if the right column is taller than left it will not flow below the left floated div; it will maintain a 300x gap from the left edge of container div
Tip: change to margin-left: 320px to add a 20px gutter
Here is a nice little DEMO
I have a webpage containing a centered container with content and I want to display a logo next to it.
The layout is as following: div - container. Where the container is centered and the div lef of the container needs to fill out the width left on the screen.
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#container {
width: 800px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
min-height: 100%;
}
<div id="container">
</div>
<div id="lef">
</div>

I think that the best solution for doing something like this is just using javascript / jQuery.
Depending on which browsers you wish to support, you could use calc().
Basically, you want 50% of the viewport width (50vw) minus half of width of #container (so you're measuring from the center of your #container and you use half of all the values) - I'm assuming that you're OK with absolute positioning #lef to the viewport to keep it to the right?
CSS (fiddle here):
#lef {
background-color:yellow;
width:calc(50vw - 100px);
height:20px;
position:absolute;
right:0;
top:0;
}
Add this to your css:
#lef{
float:left
}
And change the order of the divs in the html, like this:
<div id="lef"></div>
<div id="container"></div>
First of all, you should wrap your markup in a wrapper div so elements stay tight.
I made some changes, take a look:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="lef">
</div>
<div id="container">
</div>
</div>
And the css:
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#wrapper{
width: 360px;
}
#container {
width: 200px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
height: 100px;
background-color:red;
}
#lef {
background-color:yellow;
width: 160px;;
height:100px;
float: left;
}
Example
If using flexbox is an option, you can do this with the flex-grow property:
With the following markup
<div class="main-row">
<div class="filler"></div>
<div class="row-content">Fixed width centered div</div>
<div class="filler"></div>
</div>
you need to set flex-grow: 1 on the filler divs. See this fiddle.
This question already has answers here:
2 column div layout: right column with fixed width, left fluid
(8 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Im searching for a way to have 2 divs as columns where div on right has a fixed width and div on left fill remaining space.
Does anyone happen to know if this can be done?
My attempt (renders block2 underneath block1):
<style>
.block1 {
width: auto;
height: 200px;
background-color: green;
}
.block2 {
float: right;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<div class="block1">test1</div>
<div class="block2">test2</div>
You can do it like this:
HTML:
<div class="right">right</div>
<div class="left">left</div>
CSS:
.left{
background:red;
}
.right{
float:right;
width:200px;
background:green
}
Check this live example http://jsfiddle.net/QHTeS/2/
Float Both of the elements left:
<style>
.block1 {
width: auto;
height: 200px;
float: left;
background-color: green;
}
.block2 {
float: left;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<div class="block1">test1</div>
<div class="block2">test2</div>
You should wrap them in a container as well to prevent messing up the rest of your layout. :)

That was wrong!
Use display: table; on parent and display: table-cell; on children:
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="block1">test1</div>
<div class="block2">test2</div>
</div>
#wrapper
{
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.block1 {
width: auto;
height: 200px;
display: table-cell;
background-color: green;
}
.block2 {
display: table-cell;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
background-color: red;
}

This is my solution without floats. The only caveat is that I need to use a wrapper. So, if the desired HTML is
parent (has a border, margin, padding,...)
left (fixed width)
right (variable width, fill the entire space)
I must rewrite it as
parent (has a border, margin, padding,...)
wrapper (has no styling)
left (fixed width)
right (variable eidthm, fill the entire space)
My HTML is
<div style="border:1px solid black; background:red; margin:10px; padding:10px;" >
<div style="">
<div style="display:table-cell; padding:10px; min-width:100px; max-width:100px;background:green;">Left</div>
<div style="display:table-cell; padding:10px; width:100%; background:yellow;">Main content</div>
</div>
</div>
The main points here are:
No use display:table because then we can not set the border
The use of min-width, max-width
The use of width:100%
Check this jsfiddle
Start out with a container <div> (#container) that holds both the left and right <div>s. Float one <div> to the right and give it a specific width (320px in my example). Then give the other <div> an absolute position starting at the absolute left (0px) and ending at the left edge of the <div> on the right (320px).
If you adjust the width of #container, the right <div> will remain fixed at 320px while the left <div> will expand to fill whatever the remaining area is.
I want to float a div to center. Is it possible? text-align: center is not working in IE.
There is no float to center per se. If you want to center a block element inside another do this:
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">Stuff to center</div>
</div>
with:
#outer { width: 600px; }
#inner { width: 250px; margin: 0 auto; }
Now that won't make the text wrap around it (like it would with a float left or right) but like I said: there is no float center.
This has always worked for me.
Provided you set a fixed width for your DIV, and the proper DOCTYPE, try this
div {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
Hope this helps.
The usual technique for this is margin:auto
However, old IE doesn't grok this so one usually adds text-align: center to an outer containing element. You wouldn't think that would work but the same IE's that ignore auto also incorrectly apply the text align center to block level inner elements so things work out.
And this doesn't actually do a real float.
floating divs to center "works" with the combination of display:inline-block and text-align:center.
Try changing width of the outer div by resizing the window of this jsfiddle
<div class="outer">
<div class="block">one</div>
<div class="block">two</div>
<div class="block">three</div>
<div class="block">four</div>
<div class="block">five</div>
</div>
and the css:
.outer {
text-align:center;
width: 50%;
background-color:lightgray;
}
.block {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border: 1px solid lime;
display: inline-block;
margin: .2rem;
background-color: white;
}
Following solution worked for me.
.algncenterdiv {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
One of my websites involves a div whose size is variable and you won't know it ahead of time. it is an outer div with 2 nested divs, the outer div is the same width as the first nested div, which is the content, and the second nested div right below the content is the caption, which must be centered. Because the width is not known, I use jQuery to adjust accordingly.
so my html is this
<div id='outer-container'>
<div id='inner-container'></div>
<div id='captions'></div>
</div>
and then I center the captions in jQuery like this
captionWidth=$("#captions").css("width");
outerWidth=$("#outer-container").css("width");
marginIndent=(outerWidth-captionWidth)/2;
$("#captions").css("margin","0px "+marginIndent+"px");
Use "spacer" divs to surround the div you want to center. Works best with a fluid design. Be sure to give the spacers height, or else they will not work.
<style>
div.row{width=100%;}
dvi.row div{float=left;}
#content{width=80%;}
div.spacer{width=10%; height=10px;}
</style>
<div class="row">
<div class="spacer"></div>
<div id="content">...</div>
<div class="spacer"></div>
</div>
This worked for me..
div.className {
display: inline-block;
margin: auto;
}
this could help you..:D
div#outer {
width:200px;
height:200px;
float:left;
position:fixed;
border:solid 5px red;
}
div#inner {
border:solid 5px green;
}
<div id="outer">
<center>
<div id="inner">Stuff to center</div>
</center>
</div>
No, it isn't.
You can either have content bubble up to the right of an element (float: left) or to the left of an element (float: right), there is no provision for having content bubble up on both sides.
<div id="outer" style="z-index:10000;width:99%;height:200px;margin-top:300px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;float:left;position:absolute;opacity:0.9;">
<div id="inner" style="opacity:1;background-color:White;width:300px;height:200px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;">Inner</div></div>
Float the div in the background to the max width, set a div inside that that's not transparent and center it using margin auto.
this works nicely
width:40%; // the width of the content div
right:0;
margin-right:30%; // 1/2 the remaining space
This resizes nicely with adaptive layouts also..
CSS example would be:
.centered-div {
position:fixed;
background-color:#fff;
text-align:center;
width:40%;
right:0;
margin-right:30%;
}
This worked for me.
I included an unordered list on my page twice.
One div class="menu" id="vertical" the other to be centered was div class="menu" id="horizontal". Since the list was floated left, I needed an inner div to center it. See below.
<div class=menu id="horizontal">
<div class="fix">
Centered stuff
</div>
</div>
.menu#horizontal { display: block; float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0 10px; position: relative; left: 50%; }
#fix { float: right; position: relative; left: -50%; margin: 0px auto; }
Try this, it helped me: wrap the div in tags, the problem is that it will center the content of the div also (if not coded otherwise). Hope that helps :)
