I'm trying to recreate this:
However, I'm having trouble positioning everything. What's the best way to go through this?
Current HTML:
<div id="container">
<div class="wrap">
<div id="interview">
<h1>INTERVIEW: JOHN HUNT</h1>
</div>
<div id="article">
<h2>ARTICLE: WOMEN IN SURFING</h2>
</div>
</div>
Current CSS:
#container{
width:918px;
height:429px;
background-color:#cdcccc;
clear:both;}
.wrap{
width: 620px;
margin-left:10px;
margin-top:10px;}
#interview{
width:652px;
height:179px;
background-color:#FFF;}
#article{
width:652px;
height:179px;
background-color:#FFF;}
By default div elements are on top of each other, so if you want your subscribe section to be on the right you will have to float it right.
And wrap your left div's in a parent container div. That's the basic idea.
#interview and #article are larger than .wrap which is not what you want !
Plus, add to your CSS:
#interview{
position: relative;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#article{
position: relative;
}
This would help you !
For this type of layout try to use a GRID SYSTEM layout.

I was wondering if someone could explain to me why this is happening. Sorry I am new to CSS/HTML. I am working on creating and HTML layout for a basic page, currently I have three Divs. I want one container on the left (id= leftside) with 50% width and another on the right (id=rightside) with 50% width and the third container (id=narrow) below both of them at 100% width.
So currently my third div gets hidden underneath the first two unless I add the property 'top: 50%;' to that div. Can someone please explain why this is happening? I thought that since the space is already taken by my other two divs that I would not have to use the 'top' property in order for the third div to display. Why is it being hidden by the other divs?
Here is my HTML code:
<body>
<div id="leftside"></div>
<div id="rightside"> </div>
<div id="narrow"></div>
</body>
Here is my CSS code:
#leftside{
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
background-color: blue;
float:left;
}
#rightside{
width: 50%;
height: 50%;
background-color: red;
float:right;
}
#narrow{
width:100%;
height:20%;
background-color:black;
}
Whenever you do use the float for the element then don't forget to clear them.
For easier I always use overflow:hidden; to the parent div:
<div class="parent">
<div id="leftside"></div>
<div id="rightside"> </div>
<div id="narrow"></div>
</div>
.parent{overflow:hidden;}
So now, you know the key reason of hiding?
Because the first two divs have set floats so they are taken out from the "normal" flow, while the last remains the same and isn't affected by the previous two.
To be affected you can either set float also to the last element, or clear the float.
#narrow {
width:100%;
height:20%;
background-color:black;
clear: both;
}
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/float#Clearing_floats for more info.
I always create a spacer div and use it whenever I need to clear any previous floats or coding. This is specially useful when I have a ton of divs within a parent div.
.spacer {
clear:both;
border:none;
width:100%;
}
*other divs above*
<div class="spacer"> </div>
*other divs below*
I have 2 divs, one floating left(#div1) and the other floating right(#div2). I need to add a third div(#div3) which floats centrally over these. I am currently trying to use the z-index. However I am getting some strange effects like the div1 and div2 being forces down. Also the "container" div centrally aligns all child divs.
So for some code:
<div id="container" style="width: 980px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; height:130px">
<div id="div1" style="float:left">Div1</div>
<div id="div2" style="float:right">Div1</div>
<div id="div3" style="border:1px solid black;colour:black;position:relative; top:0px, left:auto; z-index:1000">I look like a button and I float the other divs, in a central location</div>
</div>
I would really appreciate some guidance on the correct code for the above, to ensure that #div3 does float over #div1 and #div2, and is centrally located.
Thanks in advance.
First of all, the style attribute on 3rd div isn't closed.
Use ; to separate between style statements in the style attribute. And its color, not colour
I would also suggest using a css
Heres a codepen:
http://codepen.io/Vall3y/pen/QwWPYd
If you want the container to float in the center, its enough to give it margin: auto
Giving the 3rd div a width and auto margin will get your desired result I would assume. I also removed some unnecessary statements like position relative
#div3 {
border:1px solid black;
color:black;
margin: auto;
width: 30%;
}
Heres a codepen:
http://codepen.io/Vall3y/pen/gbOyEb
Also consider using display: flex and ditch the floats altogether
http://codepen.io/Vall3y/pen/ogNOVV
If you want to read more on flexbox I recommend the csstricks article http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
I think you need to add to #div3 display property: inline-block, and set text-align: center to #container, check it out here
No relative or absolutely positioned elements needed! This should give you what you want:
CSS:
#container{width: 580px; border:2px solid orange; height:350px;}
#div1{border:2px solid blue; width:260px; height:100px; float:left;}
#div2{border:2px solid green; width:260px; float:right; height:100px;}
#div3{border:1px solid black; width:100%; float:left; height:100px;}
HTML:
<div id="container" >
<div id="div3">I look like a button and I float the other divs, in a central location</div>
<div id="div1">Div1</div>
<div id="div2">Div3</div>
</div>
Heres a live demo:

You really should separate your CSS and HTML, but this is what I did...
Add width:inherit to your div3 and position:absolute:
<div id="container" style="background-color:lightgrey;width: 480px;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto; height:130px">
<div id="div1" style="float:left">Div1</div>
<div id="div2" style="float:right">Div1</div>
<div id="div3" style="border:1px solid black;colour:black; top:0px, left:auto; z-index:1000; position:absolute; width:inherit;">I look like a button and I float the other divs, in a central location</div>
</div>
You can modify the width to adjust where you want div3 to land and therefore can center it between them if you want.

If this isn't exactly what you want just play with the width to get the effect you want as this is the positioning you are asking for! :)
Dear Friends I am so struggling on about a problem came to me in my web design.
My layout as follows,
<div class="main_div">
<div class="left_column">
<div class=="fixed_div"></div>
</div>
<div class="mid_column"></div>
<div class=="right_column"></div>
</div>
and css file look like
.main_div{
float:left;
width:80%;
}
.left_column{
float:left;
width:20%;
}
.mid_column{
float:left;
width:40%;
}
.right_column{
float:left;
width:20%;
}
What i wanted to do is i need to make the fixed_div fixed inside the parent element and give the width to 100%. But it always comes out of the left_column. How would i overcome this problem please help. Thanks
Please note that sometimes i am changing left_column's width from jquery.So at that time the fixed_div must also adjust as the left_column.
For block elements your issue is fixed by default cos they have width: auto;. Do not adjust #fixed_div width at all and it'll work.
P.S. Using IDs for selecting all elements in css - isn't a good style, better rework it to the classes.
You have floated all elements for this you must use clearfix technique to remove any error. And set .fixed_div to display: block; . If this do not help you please place a Demo. What actually you have been in problem.
This should help:
.fixed_div {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.left_column {
position: relative;
float:left;
width:20%;
}
im facing a problem where i need some advice.
I want to have a couple of main div containers lets say
<div class="main">
one to another to the right.
All main containers should have full width and height (fullscreen).
On the right I need a couple other main containers with the size and width of the former.
Is it possible to set the divs one another to the right without reading and setting it with javascript? Is there a css/html solution?
Example:
<div class="main"><!--to the right one more -->
</div>
<div class="main"><!--to the right one more -->
</div>
<div class="main">
</div>
Style: #This doesn't work...
.main{
width:100%;
height:auto;
float: right;
}
I may have misunderstood the question, but try
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
width: 300%;
}
.main {
height: 100%;
width: 33.333333333%;
float: left;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/3yaJZ/
hope what i've understood is what your trying to tell.. from my understanding,you want 3 div's ( main ) that will be in one bit component ( container ) each of which is 100% width and you can check each div as you scroll horizontally....
In your Css
body{
width:300%;
height:100%;
}
.main{
width:100%;
height:100%;
float:left;
}
And your html --
<body>
<div class="main"><!--to the right one more -->
</div>
<div class="main"><!--to the right one more -->
</div>
<div class="main">
</div>
</body>
sir,
i created a div tag in my html page and that displays a product.inside the product_box div i have two columns (lleft and right) using float.
both columns fit in the product_box dividing the container into two vertical halves.but when i type content in the right half the content comes out of the div if it is longer than one line.i want that i continue typing multiple lines and it fits inside the right half.
i dnt want the overflow:scroll; method or hidden as well coz the scroll bar looks very bad.
plz suggest a way to acheive this.
CSS:
#content_left .product_box {
margin-right: 10px;
}
.left {
float:left;
padding:10px;
width:178px;
height: 174px;
}
.right {
float:left;
padding:10px;
text-align:left;
width: 396px;
height: 136px;
}
HTML:
<div class="product_box">
<h3>Product Title</h3>
<div class="left">some content here</div>
<div class="right">
jhkdjfhkjhkjhkjhkhkhkhkjhkjhkjhkjhkhkhkh
</div>
<div class="cleaner"></div>
</div>
You can use min-hieght instead of height to ensure it gets minimum height and grows if the content increases...
and be sure too add float clearer like: <div style="clear:both"></div> after the floating divs... in order to make parent container take its height
Add an element at the end of your div with the style clear:both; ( and maybe height:1px; )
