Sorry, I'm sure this question has been asked before, but if there anyway to do the following:
I have three divs in-line like the diagram shown below, when the browser window is shrunk it automatically drops each div to the next line. I know that I could use the #media command and assign a different css stylesheet if the browser is a certain size, but it would be great if I could make it fluid.
Before:
After:
Thank you!
Wrap the divs in a container element, like....
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="elem1"></div>
<div id="elem2"></div>
<div id="elem3"></div>
</div>
Then make sure .wrapper has a set width, most likely a percentage. If it has a set width and the inline elements are all floated left, once there is no longer room within the .wrapper div, they'll shift to the next line.
Try:
<div class='box'></div>
<div class='box'></div>
<div class='box'></div>
and:
.box {
background: #000;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
float: left;
}
They should automatically drop when below 900px, see: http://jsfiddle.net/JQFH7/

<div id="wrapper">
<div class="inner"></div>

width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display: inline-block;

}
div#wrapper
{
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}

I thought setting the min-height property will expand if necessary to accommodate its contents, but I was shocked to realized that it is not displaying the content at all, especially when I re-size. Some contents is completely loss from display. This code below is not the exact code thought, but this is the closest to my problem I can get.
<div class="parent">
<div class="box"> Box One</div>
<div class="box"> Box two</div>
<div class="box"> Box three</div>
<div class="box"> Box four</div>
<div class="box"> Box five</div>
<div class="box"> Box six</div>
</div>
<style>
.parent {
min-height: 300px;
width: 100%;
background-color: blue;
}
.box {
width: 50%;
height: 50px;
color white;
}
</style>
The Problem: You can see the problem when the content inside the .box increase and the size of the browser is decreased to mobile version. Then you can see the real problem, that the content is getting out of the blue box.
You can see the problem here : https://jsfiddle.net/bro49tg7/3/ resize the width of the output to smaller screen.
To Solve this problem
Change your css code to this:
.box{
width: 50%;
min-height: 50px; /* changed this */
color: #fff;
}
Exactly as Hunzaboy says, you need a min-height on each box for this to work. Take a look at this fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/6zpek8m6/
.parent {
min-height: 300px;
}
.box {
min-height: 50px;
}
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
My question is about CSS and DIV tags. I have a dynamic page, and I would like one container DIV. There are two scenarios: in one case, this container DIV will just have one DIV in it, with a width of 50%, and should be centered. In the other case, there will be two DIVs in it, and they should be side by side, each taking up 50%.
I have tried float:center (using overflow: hidden on the container DIV), and that works for 1 DIV in it, but with two, they are stacked on top of each other. If I use float: left, then the 2 DIVS appear correct, but the single DIV is left aligned, not centered.
Any help on how to achieve this effectively would be greatly appreciated!
<div style="width:800; margin: 2px; background-color:blue">
<div style="width:50%; background-color:orange;">
Text
</div>
<div style="width:50%; background-color:red;">
Text
</div>
</div>
jsFiddle
For the two-div scenario:
<div style="width:800; margin: 2px; background-color:blue; display: table;">
<div style="background-color:orange; display: table-cell;">
Text
</div>
<div style="background-color:red; display: table-cell;">
Text
</div>
</div>
Now for the one-div scenario:
<div style="width:800; margin: 2px; background-color:blue; display: table;">
<div style="background-color:orange; display: table-cell;">
Text
</div>
</div>
In each case, the inner divs, whether there are 1 or 2, will take up a combined 100% of the outer div. Essentially, it acts like the <table> element without having the semantics of a <table>.
check this fiddle
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="divholder">
<div style="background-color:orange;">DIV 1</div>
<div style="background-color:red;">DIV 2</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.divholder div{
display:inline-block;
margin:auto;
width:49%;
}
.divholder {
text-align:center;
margin: 0 auto;
position:relative;
}
.wrapper{
width:100%;
background-color:blue;
}
This perfectly deals with your need..While there is only one div, the div gets centered and if two divs come then both will be equally divided and floated left.Please see the fiddle..
Similar to chharvey's answer, this can be achieved nicely with display: table;
In my example it is centered horizontally and will work with any number of columns as they will fit themselves to the full width of div.wrap. The columns are currently given a height of 100%, this can be adjusted.
Have a jsBin example!
HTML
<div class="wrap">
<div class="column">
</div>
<div class="column">
</div>
</div>
CSS
html,body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrap {
display: table;
width: 800px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.column {
display: table-cell;
background: #FF0;
}
.column:first-child {
background: #F00;
}
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 have this HTML code:
<body>
<div id="div0" style="display:inline; background-color:green; width:100%">
<div id="div1" style="display:inline; background-color:aqua;width:33%"> </div>
<div id="div2" style="display:inline; background-color:red;width:33%"> </div>
<div id="div3" style="display:inline; background-color:yellow;width:33%"> </div>
</div>
</body>
I want to fill the page with div1, div2 and div3 but they don't fill the entire width.
What it's happening?
Taken from display declaration:
display: inline means that the element
is displayed inline, inside the
current block on the same line. Only
when it's between two blocks does the
element form an 'anonymous block',
that however has the smallest possible
width.
You cannot give an inline element set width or height dimensions, they will be ignored. An element must have a display type of block to do that. Setting display: block however will not achieve what you want since each element will fill the entire width. float: left will cause them to stack to the left and also forces display: block.
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrap {
width:100%;
}
#wrap:after {
/* Prevent wrapper from shrinking height,
see http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html */
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
}
#wrap .container {
float: left;
width:33%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div class="container"> </div>
<div class="container"> </div>
<div class="container"> </div>
</div>
</body>
Mmmmm, semantics
See answer from Phunky for further comments on floating.
Use relative positioning on the outer <div> and float the inner <div>s. Don't use display: inline.
<body>
<div id="div0" style="border: 1px solid red; background-color: green; width: 100%; position: relative;">
<div id="div1" style="background-color: aqua; width: 33.33%; float: left;">a</div>
<div id="div2" style="background-color: red; width: 33.33%; float: left;">b</div>
<div id="div3" style="background-color: yellow; width: 33.33%; float: left;">c</div>
</div>
</body>
display:inline shrink wraps the content. You might want to try float:left instead.
Rory Fitzpatrick more or less has the ideal answer for you, although there is no need to set pos:rel on the #wrapper as it is already a relative block element and will span the full width by default.
When you float a block element it mimics the alignment functionality of display:inline and in an ideal world we would have access to the very useful display:inline-block which would have done exactly what you was expecting it to do.
But one thing you should remember when floating elements is that they will only take up the space they require (this includes margin and padding) unless you set a fixed width.
This is why Rory used width:33%; as that is the best you are ever going to get :)
Ideally this would have been a comment on Rorys post, but i've not got a high enough post count yet.
<body>
<div id="div0" style="float: left; background-color:green; width:100%">
<div id="div1" style="float: left; background-color:aqua;width:33%"> </div>
<div id="div2" style="float: left; background-color:red;width:33%"> </div>
<div id="div3" style="float: left; background-color:yellow;width:33%"> </div>
</div>
</body>
This should work for you. And the reason IIRC is that display: inline does not take % width.
Instead of using float you could use flexbox for a more responsive resizing. Also this forces the elements to remain in a row.
Example:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#wrap {
width:100%;
display:inline-flex;
}
#wrap:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
display: inline-flex;
flex-direction: row;
}
.container1 {
width:20%;
}
.container2{
width:80%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrap">
<div class="container1"> </div>
<div class="container2"> </div>
</div>
The best way to accomplish this, contrary to all the answers given before, can be found referencing the answer to this question:
3 inline-block divs with exactly 33% width not fitting in parent
The quickest and easiest way is not the prettiest to look at (putting your div's on the same line to remove the automatic single white space provided normally), but will work tremendously for what you want. The answer I am referencing list plenty of other way that, in my opinion, are better than any provided before, and address the true problem you are having.
Here is the code working exactly how you'd like, and a link to the fiddle!
<body>
<div id="div0" style="float: left; background-color:green; width: 100%;">
<div id="div1" style="margin: 0px; display: inline-block; background-color:aqua;width:33.33%"> </div><div id="div2" style="margin: 0px; display: inline-block; background-color:red;width:33.33%"> </div><div id="div3" style="margin: 0px; display: inline-block; background-color:yellow;width:33.33%"> </div>
</div>
