I have 2 divs and I want to align them in the same line. The html code is:
<div class="box">
<div class="boxleft"> </div>
<div class="boxright"> </div>
</div>
I tried 'float: left;' and 'float: right;' but the background is going crazy, it apears just on ~30px of the height. I tried to put a height('till then I didn't use height in CSS). It didnt' work. I tried 'display: inline-block' too, but without succes.
Thanks.
CSS:
.box {
width: 956px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background: #584231;}
.boxleft {
width: 706px;
margin-right: auto;
border-right: 2px solid black;}
.boxright {
width: 250px;
margin-left: auto;
float: right;}
Float: left should do the trick depending on the width of the parent boxand the width of boxleft and boxright. If the parent box has width: 500px; and boxleft and boxrightboth have width: 250px; float:left;. You should be fine.
Have a look at the css properties float:left and clear:both.

I put some colors on each background to make it clear, you're maybe lacking a width and height for each element..
.boxleft , .boxright {
float : left;
width : 200px;
height : 100px;
margin : 10px;
}
.boxleft {
background : yellow;
}
.boxright {
background : blue;
}

On most modern browsers nowadays display: table-cell is the better alternative to floating.
You may use
display:inline-block;
or
float
or as per latest browser out you may use
display: table-cell
or you may use
clear: both
If you're not a "CSS guy", look at http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/. With bootstrap, put two div on the same line is done this way :
<div class="row-fluid box">
<div class="span6 boxleft"></div>
<div class="span6 boxright"></div>
</div>
You need to clear the floats via clearfix on the parent container.
.box {
width: 956px;
background: #584231;
}
/* clearfix */
.box:after {
content: '';
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
line-height: 0;
height: 0;
}
.boxleft {
width: 704px;
border-right: 2px solid black;
float: left;
}
.boxright {
width: 250px;
float: right;
}
The border is adding 2px to your divs width. That's why I specified it with 704px.
Using inline-block as display for the left and right box should work too.

I have two divs next to each other. The div on the right is 300px x 335px. The div on the left goes all the way down the page. I want the width of the left div to go all the way until the right div. Then under the right div, it takes up the whole width of the page. Is this possible?
div elements are block level elements. So they are like square blocks. No, they can't work as you ask. However, you might Google for CSS Shapes to see if it can do what you wish but it's not available in all browsers and still isn't exactly the same as you request.
Here is some option either you can add min-width to the short div and long div to extend it. or you can add a background-color body to fake the illusion of it. but like Rob said there is no good way that can work out.
.short {
width: 100px; height: 100px;
background:red;
float:left;
//min-height: 500px;
}
.long {
width: 100px; height: 500px;
background:blue;
float:left;
//min-height: 500px;
}
.width {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background:yellow;
}
.clearfix {
overflow: auto;
zoom: 1;
}
body {
// background-color: red;
}
<div class="clearfix">
<div class="short"></div>
<div class="long"></div>
</div>
<div class="width"></div>
That is not possible, although you could always put another div under the one on the right and set the margin so that it looks like it's part of the one on the left.
This is one of the method to achieve what you want
CSS
#left1 {
margin-right: 300px;
height: 335px;
background: #aaa;
}
#right {
width: 300px;
height: 335px;
float: right;
}
#left2 {
background: #aaa;
border: 1px soild #000;
min-height: 300px;
}
<div id="right"></div>
<div id="left1"></div>
<div id="left2"></div>
EDIT: The problem is solved, so thanks to everyone who helped!
Original post:
So I am trying to put three divs next to each other (until thus far this part has been successful) with the third and last div to like go to attach to the bottom of the divs, which I have no clue how to do this.
How can I put the third div to attach to the bottom of the middle div and stay within the container?
To show you, I made a quick example. Something like this:
The black colour in the image is the 'body'.
The grey is a container div I put the three other divs in.
Each other box represents a div with what I want them to do and how approx. I want them to be positioned of one another.
I hope this can be done only using html and css. I would appreciate any help.
So far I have this as html for the divs:
#nav,
#textarea,
#contactallpages {
vertical-align: top;
display: inline-block;
*display: inline;
}
#containerpage {
position: relative;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 5%;
padding-bottom: 5%;
background-color: black;
height: 100%;
width: 70%;
}
#centercontainer {
background-color: lightblue;
width: 75%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 2%;
}
#nav {
float: left;
background: #aaaaaa;
height: 50%;
width: 15%;
padding: 1%;
}
#textarea {
display: inline-block;
background: #cccccc;
height: 70%;
width: 64%;
padding: 1%;
}
#contactallpages {
background: #bbbbbb;
position: absolute;
width: 15%;
padding: 1%;
bottom: 0;
}
<div id="containerpage">
<div id="centercontainer">
<div id="nav">
<ul>1
</ul>
<ul>2
</ul>
<ul>3
</ul>
</div>
<div id="textarea">
<header>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
</header>
<p>
Text text more text.
</p>
<p>
And more text.
</p>
</div>
<div id="contactallpages">
Random small textbox
<br>More small text.
</div>
</div>
</div>
The way you should lay this out is one container div and 3 children div's set to display: inline-block;
Using display: inline-block; will position all the div's next to each other and allows you to use the vertical-align property.
Now all you would need to do is set the proper vertical-alignment for each of the child div's. You can also set the height to the container div (#myPage) and that is the height that vertical-align will use to determine the positioning.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/vertical-align
#myPage div {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
}
#centerFold {
height: 200px;
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: yellow;
}
#navBar, #contact{
height: 100px;
}
#navBar {
vertical-align: top;
background-color: red;
}
#contact {
vertical-align: bottom;
background-color: blue;
}
<div id="myPage">
<div id="navBar">
</div>
<div id="centerFold">
</div>
<div id="contact">
</div>
</div>
Try out flexbox if you do not have too much to worry about backward compatibility. My time at the moment doesn't allow to elaborate, but the essential part would be
#centercontainer {display: flex}
#contactallpages {align-self: flex-end}
Be aware though that some prefixing will be necessary for older browsers and this is only the standards-compliant solution. It does everything you want and you can forget about floating. Adding a
#textarea {flex-grow: 1}
would even allow the center to grow not only in height but in width also.
I have the following:
<div class='container-main'>
<div class='container-inner'>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
.container-main {
width: 100%;
}
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
}
.clickable-box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
/* ???? */
}
I'm trying to make it so the clickable box will be centered inside the inner container IF there isn't enough room for another clickable box next to it.
BUT if there is enough width (600px +) then they create 2 columns (which are together centered inside the inner container), and if theres more room even (900px +) then 3 columns etc...
in other words, when I start out with a window of width 500px, it should show 1 column of boxes all lined up under each other. As I drag the window out, the box should stay in the center until theres enough room for another to go next to it, and they create 2 columns instead, and so on.
But I don't want the column to float left or right while I'm dragging the window and leave a big empty space
Try this CSS:
.container-main {
width: 100%;
}
.container-inner {
width: 99%;
text-align:center
}
.clickable-box {
display: inline-block;
width: 32%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I think what you're looking for is to set clickable-box to display: inline-block. Setting display: inline-block essentially makes the div act like text in regards to text-align rules, but still keeps some block properties as well. It's pretty sweet.
HTML
<div class='container-main'>
<div class='container-inner'>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.container-main {
background-color: red;
text-align: center;
}
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
}
.clickable-box {
background-color: blue;
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
}
Here's a fiddle to demo it!
display:inline-block should be the best solution, this will display clickable boxes in one line if there is space for them:
.clickable-box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
display:inline-block;
}
Also add text-align:center to parent div in order for clickable boxes to be centered
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
text-align:center;
}
I think this should do it. I modified the CSS a bit to add some borders to see what the boxes look like. You could certainly remove those borders.
Fiddle Demo
.container-main {
width: 100%;
}
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
border:3px solid #454;
text-align:center;
}
.clickable-box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
border:1px solid #000;
margin:0 auto;
display:inline-block;
}
I'd use float rules because they can push down the boxes that do not fit. For instance, float:left will get you at least two boxes on a 1096px. display:inline might have issues on browser rendering.
.container-main {
width: 100%;
}
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
}
.clickable-box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
float:left; // right there.
}
I have a <div> called "bottom" which holds 2 divs together. The 2 divs inside are "manufacturers" and "main" which are located side by side with each other. What I want is that the <div id="bottom"> must be auto resizable when either the two divisions expands (the <div id="main"> lists down all the available products that is why it also has an auto height). The problem is that when I use a float property or a "display: inline" property in the main and manufacturers divs it overrides the bottom div causing it not to expand.
here's my css code:
#bottom{
padding: 1.5em;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 3.7em;
margin-bottom: 5em;
background-color: white;
width: 67em;
height: auto;
}
#manufacturers{
padding: 1em;
width: 13em;
height: auto;
border: 1px solid #CFCFCF;
font-size: 17px;
float: left;
}
#main{
float: right;
padding: 0.5em;
width: 47em;
height: 10em;
background: blue;
position: relative;
display: inline;
}
In your case element with ID "bottom" collapsed because of elements inside have floats (left or right). You should use clearfix class with #bottom:
.clearfix: before,
.clearfix: after {
display: table;
content: " "
}
.clearfix: after {
clear: both
}
Answer to question about "clearfix"
#main{
display: inline-block;
}
you could try this:
#bottom{
width: 100%;
}
#manufacturers{
width: 50%;
}
#main{
width: 50%;
}
Add above css properties in your existing CSS stylesheet. Apart from it:
Expanding Downward to fit the content is the expected behavior. If you have specified floats somewhere in your style you may need to clear them.
<div style="clear:both"></div>
I have two elements that have variable width, and must share the same space in a div
I created an example in this link:
http://jsfiddle.net/zWVVN/
#test-1: Should look like.
#test-2: Problem situation.
Hi you define hr float left that conditions you must define width of all hr those give to float as like this
Css
#teste1, #teste2 {
width: 300px; }
hr {
border: 1px solid green;
background: red;
height: 25px;
float: left;
width:200px;
}
h2 {
float: right;}
#teste1 hr{
width: 230px;}
HTML
<div id="teste1">
<hr>
<h2>conteudo</h2>
</div>
<div id="teste2">
<hr>
<h2>conteudo</h2>
</div>
Live demo http://jsfiddle.net/rohitazad/3e6bd/2/
If you want both divs to take up the whole space and do not want to wrap text down, then why have u set the width for both the divs to 300px. Remove the width assigned to both the divs and make both HR to float left.
#teste1, #teste2 {
//this class not needed
}
hr {
border: 0;
background: red;
height: 5px;
float: left;
}
h2 {
float: left;
}
