Block elements within div in CSS - html

I'm trying to make 2 divs appear on separate lines within an outside div. Right now I have display:inline-block set for both of them, but I'm not sure how to change this to make them appear on separate lines.
Here is what my code looks right now, I would like John Doe and 100 to appear on separate lines within the leader div:
http://jsfiddle.net/ZnuPR/
HTML
<ul>
<li class="leader">
<div class="ranking">1</div>
<div class="name">John Doe</div>
<div class="score">100</div>
</li>
</ul>
CSS
.leader {
border: 1px solid;
background-color: #E6E6E6;
display: inline-block;
width: 400px;
margin: 2px;
padding: 2px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 75px;
}
.ranking {
display: inline-block;
margin:2px;
padding:2px;
width:50px;
height:65px;
background-color:green;
color:white;
}
.name {
display: inline-block;
}
.score {
display: inline-block;
}

You could simply float .ranking and then leave .name and .score as display: block.
http://jsfiddle.net/ZnuPR/7/
.ranking {
/* ... */
float: left;
}

The fastest solution is to set the ranking to "float:left;" and the name and score to "display:block;". Block level elements span 100% by default which will make sure the 2 elements are on seperate lines.
.leader {
border: 1px solid;
background-color: #E6E6E6;
display: inline-block;
width: 400px;
margin: 2px;
padding: 2px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 75px;
}
.ranking {
float:left;
margin:2px;
padding:2px;
width:50px;
height:65px;
background-color:green;
color:white;
}
.name {
display: block;
}
.score {
display: block;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/ZnuPR/2/

I think this is what you mean:
http://jsfiddle.net/ZnuPR/6/
Don't use inline-block and remove the height from the container, it will automatically adjust to the height it needs to be.

http://jsfiddle.net/ZnuPR/8/
Added a .details wrapper and some floats.
.ranking {
float:left; /* Floating */
margin:2px;
padding:2px;
width:50px;
height:65px;
background-color:green;
color:white;
}
.details {
float:left; /* floating */
}
.name {
display: block; /* Changed to block */
}
.score {
display: inline-block;
}
<ul>
<li class="leader">
<div class="ranking">1</div>
<div class="details">
<div class="name">John Doe</div>
<div class="score">100</div>
</div><!-- end details wrapper-->
</li>
</ul>

I think this could be useful:
http://jsfiddle.net/ZnuPR/10/
.leader {
border: 1px solid;
background-color: #E6E6E6;
display: inline-block;
width: 400px;
margin: 2px;
padding: 2px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.ranking {
width: 100%;
margin:2px;
padding:2px;
width:50px;
height:65px;
background-color:green;
color:white;
}
.name {
width: 100%;
}
.score {
width: 100%;
}

This is what I did:
CSS
.leader {
border: 1px solid;
background-color: #E6E6E6;
display: inline-block;
width: 400px;
margin: 2px;
padding: 2px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
.ranking {
display: inline-block;
margin:2px;
padding:2px;
width:50px;
height:65px;
background-color:green;
color:white;
}
I got rid of display: inline-block and height

Full height for a div

I can't figure out how a div can take the whole height of a container.
In the following exampe I'd like the "photo" div to take the full height, so that the yellow and green content are on the right of the photo.
Here is the code:
#header {
background-color:#7b88d2;
text-align:center;
height: 20px;
}
#container {
max-width:800px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
}
#main {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#photo {
float:left;
background-color:#FF3366;
padding: 10px;
}
#logo {
float:right;
background-color:#FF3366;
padding-right: 10px;
height: 100%;
}
#footer {
background-color:#669933;
text-align:center;
height: 20px;
}
#col1 {
float: left;
padding-left: 10px;
}
#col2 {
margin-left:auto;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#txt_container {
padding-left: 10px;
background-color:#ffffcc;
}
#col3 {
display: inline;
float: right;
padding-right: 10px;
}
I can't declare the height in pixels because the height of the photo in unknow.
Demo here: https://jsfiddle.net/wsfnqvyn/
Thanks for your help.
Sounds like it's senseless. An image can be smaller or higher than your div (I don't know if it is relevant or not to what you are trying to explain). Try to use css background method instead.
e.g. Define the properties of your .photo class and then insert the code below to your html.
<div class="photo" style="background-image: url(image.jpg)"></div>
In this case, your .photo class should include this one line at least.
.photo {
background-size: cover;
}
Remember this method can restrict some CSS interactivity in rare cases.
I updated your jsfiddle : See the updated one: https://jsfiddle.net/wsfnqvyn/6/
I use display:table and table-cell to achieve this.
#header {
background-color:#7b88d2;
text-align:center;
height: 20px;
}
#container {
max-width:800px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
}
#main {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display:table
}
#photo {
display:table-cell;
background-color:#FF3366;
padding: 10px;
}
#logo {
display:table-cell;
background-color:#FF3366;
padding-right: 10px;
}
#footer {
background-color:#669933;
text-align:center;
height: 20px;
}
#col1 {
float: left;
padding-left: 10px;
}
#col2 {
margin-left:auto;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#txt_container {
display:table-cell;
padding-left: 10px;
background-color:#ffffcc;
}
#col3 {
display: inline;
float: right;
padding-right: 10px;
}

CSS beginner, help creating this layout?

In the image below, on the left is the output of my html/css, on the right is what I would like the layout to look like.
I'm pretty clueless as to:

why the 'upper right' text and button are being forced to the next line by the header (as opposed to orienting in the upper right
how to align the text area so that it is to the right of the image

Peace out!
well, Your code was wrong in many lvl's. I have fixed it to look like in your image... but it's just a fix. Maybe not what you are looking for.
As a resume: You want a container with an image looks like a column and the rest of the html stay as another column.
Then, as you did, the image container is floating left with a fixed width of 50px but we have to add 10px more as you have given the container 5px margin (5px right and left = 10px),
Then I just add a container which will take the rest of the html. THen it's easy to give the container a float left and as its width 340px so the total of your layout is, as you want, 400px.
I have added both box-sizing: border-box; to make the border be inside the containers and not messing with the fixed widths.
Then I just have added .header {float:left;} as basically ion your code you have a class named the_headerwhich is not even used in the html. and then a bit of margin to the h2 to separete it from upper left
here you have the fiddle
The key lays in treating your layout as a layout with 2 columns. I believe the markup should look something like this:
<div id='demo'>
<div class='col1'>
<img src='http://www.placehold.it/50x100' />
</div>
<div class='col2'>
<div class='header'>
<span class='left'>left</span>
<span class='right'>
<button>button</button>
right
</span>
<h2>center</h2>
</div>
<textarea>Lorem ipsum</textarea>
<button>button</button>
</div>
</div>
to achieve the result in your image, you should add the following css:
#demo {
border: 2px solid black;
padding: 10px;
}
#demo .col1, #demo .col2 {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
#demo .col2 {
width: calc(100% - 60px);
}
#demo .left {
float: left;
}
#demo .right {
float: right;
}
#demo .header {
text-align: center;
}
#demo textarea {
width: 100%;
min-height: 100px;
margin: 8px 0;
}
#demo button {
float: right;
margin-left: 8px;
}
Note that I've used as little fixed dimesions as possible. Just cause it will make your layout adapt easier to different content and different screen sizes.
I've put your code next to my proposal in a fiddle. I think the code should be fairly easy and self explanatory, but feel free to ask if anything isn't clear.
Here is another fiddle that uses the "calc" operation to set the textarea the remaining width of the div.
Here is the fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/SteveRobertson/tyokk1qj/
I wrap this image in and set the height to 100% and then modify the rest of the elements to the right use CSS
.outer_border {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 600px;
height: 500px;
}
.inner_border {
border: 3px solid black;
width: 400px;
height: 300px;
}
#tall{
height:100%;
float:left;
}
.image {
border: 1px solid black;
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
height: 100px;
margin: 5px;
float: left;
}
.the_header {
text-align: center;
display: inline-block;
}

Centering a nav in html5 that's responsive and uses borders

I have found lots of ways to center a nav using tricks. Either by setting the line height and the height equal to each other or using vertical-align with display:table. It worked but my border always came at the bottom of the container rather than text.
*{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
header{
display:block;
height:100px;
background-color:blue;
}
nav{
height:auto;
width:100%;
display:block;
}
nav a{
height:100%;
text-align:center;
display:inline-block;
text-decoration:none;
color:black;
margin-left:25px;
font-size: 25px;
}
nav a:hover{
border-bottom: 3px solid #F3008A;
}
}
<header>
<nav>
Link
Link
Link
Link
</nav>
</header>
To clarify the problem, I want to vertically center the text or the "a" tags within the header block. I would like to do this and also be able to put borders on the "a" tag where the border is close to the text.
You could use the table-cell display vertical-align approach.
* {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
header {
display:table;
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color:blue;
}
nav {
height:auto;
width:100%;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align: middle
}
nav a {
text-align:center;
display:inline-block;
text-decoration:none;
color:black;
margin-left:25px;
font-size: 25px;
position: relative;
border-bottom: 3px solid blue;
}
nav a:hover {
border-bottom: 3px solid #F3008A;
}
<header>
<nav> Link

You need to remove display:inline-block; and give line-height. It will solved your issue.
Check below your updated code:
*{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
header{
display:block;
height:100px;
background-color:blue;
}
nav{
height:auto;
width:100%;
}
nav a{
height:100%;
text-align:center;
line-height:100px;
text-decoration:none;
color:black;
margin-left:25px;
font-size: 25px;
}
nav a:hover{
border-bottom: 3px solid #F3008A;
}
}
<header>
<nav>
Link
Link
Link
Link
</nav>
</header>
Try to use :Before as i did since your Height of the nav is fixed it wont be a problem.

* {
margin: 0px;

I would assert that it is best to use flexbox since it is modern and responsive. The following will work nicely in all relatively modern browsers.
nav {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
}
nav > div {
background-color: pink;
height: 40px;
-webkit-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
-webkit-justify-contents: center;
justify-contents: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
align-items: center;
}
nav > div:nth-child(odd) {
background-color: red;
}
nav > div > a {
text-align: center;
-webkit-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
}
<nav>
<div>hi</div>
<div>hi2</div>
<div>hi3</div>
</nav>

Two 50% width divs don't fit in parent

Sorry if it is a duplicate of something, I have searched honestly, but I still have the problem which is shown in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tfvdzzee/1/
The code here:
html
<div id="wrap">
<div id="one">1</div>
<div id="two">2</div>
</div>
css
#wrap
{
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
border: 2px solid black;
}
#one, #two
{
width: 50%;
background: green;
}
#two
{
float: right;
background: red;
}
I believe display: inline-block; is the best answer, as it prevents bugs of overlapping and overflowing, while also keeping its parent definitions.
JsFiddle Demo
HTML
<div id="wrap">
<div id="one">1</div><!--
--><div id="two">2</div>
</div>
CSS
#wrap
{
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
border: 2px solid black;
}
#one, #two
{
width: 50%;
background: green;
display: inline-block;
/* If worried about IE7 and IE6, add the two next lines */
*display: inline;
*zoom: 1;
}
#two
{
background: red;
}
Demo Fiddle
You need to both float:left the #one element as well as set overflow:hidden to the parent to ensure it wraps the children correctly.
Change your CSS to:
#wrap
{
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
border: 2px solid black;
overflow:hidden; /* <---ensure the parent wraps the children */
}
#one, #two
{
width: 50%;
background: green;
float:left; /* <---ensure the children display inline */
}
#two
{
float: right;
background: red;
}
Add the following style in your CSS.
#one{float:left}
DEMO
Remove the Css property for #two and add this
#one, #two
{
width: 50%;
background: green;
float: left;
}
Use float: left and you don't need float: right for #two.
#one, #two
{
width: 50%;
background: green;
float: left;
}
#two
{
background: red;
}
Fiddle example.
You will need to float both your divs. After the float, clear the float using the clearfix class.
CSS:
#one, #two{ float:left; }
.clearfix:after {
visibility: hidden;
display: block;
font-size: 0;
content: " ";
clear: both;
height: 0;
}
HTML:
<div id="wrap" class="clearfix">
<div id="one">1</div>
<div id="two">2</div>
</div>
DEMO
#wrap
{
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
border: 2px solid black;
}
#wrap:after{
clear:both;
content:"";
display:block;
}
#one, #two
{
width: 50%;
float:left;
background: green;
}
#two
{
background: red;
}
Try this and use clearfix on the :after pseudo element of your #wrap div.
DEMO
To Expand on the comment by sifu and answer the question in a choice of ways
The first method (Using float's)
#wrap
{
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
border: 2px solid black;
}
#one,#two
{
float:left;
width:50%;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/tfvdzzee/7/
Display Inline-block method
#wrap
{
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
border: 2px solid black;
font-size:0px;
}
#one,#two
{
width:50%;
display:inline-block;
font-size:16px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/tfvdzzee/8/
Both methods can be used however if you are still developing for IE7 (not sure why you would) then method 2 wont work.

how to create following divs?

Sorry but having difficulty in creating a group of div as attached pic..please help
http://imgur.com/J8psv
my biggest problem is having to get the divs arranged next to each other inside of parent divs. Infact to go to a next level, if there is a 5th div of 200px then I want it to automatically come to the second line.
I understand I need something to do with CSS, just that am not so well versed with it.
.div_main_left {
width: 800px;
border: 1px solid;
height: 600px;
float: left;
display: table-cell;
}
.div_sec_left {
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid;
height: 75px;
display: inline;
float: left;
}
.div_right {
width: 250px;
border: 1px solid;
height: 500px;
float: right;
display: table-cell;
}
You can do it like this:
HTML
<div id="mainwrapper">
<div id="leftwrapper">
<div class="topbox"></div>
<div class="topbox"></div>
<div class="topbox"></div>
<div class="topbox"></div>
<div id="maincontent"></div>
</div>
<div id="rightwrapper">
<div id="topsidebar"></div>
<div id="bottomsidebar"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
#mainwrapper{
width:1050px;
}
#rightwrapper{
width:250px;
float:left;
}
#leftwrapper{
width:800px;
float:left;
}
.topbox{
float: left;
width:196px;
margin-right:4px;
height:75px;
background-color:orange;
}
#maincontent{
width:100%;
height:675px;
background-color:blue;
clear:both;
}
#topsidebar
{
width:100%;
height:600px;
background-color:green;
}
#bottomsidebar{
width:100%;
height:150px;
background-color:red;
}
Here is the jsfiddle
Do it in a list then style the list itself. From: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/
#tabs ul {
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
display: inline;
}
#tabs ul li {
margin-left: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding: 2px 15px 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
list-style: none;
display: inline;
}
#tabs ul li.here {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ffc;
list-style: none;
display: inline;
}
