I have a layout like this.
How can I align each div.product_image to the vertical middle of <li> items if I don't have fixed height of list item or image and in the same time be sure that images won't overlap each other?
A table may work, but you won't like it. Then JS may help. The "normal" way to do it would need to use min-height & min-width in <li>, then using 2 divs. 1st position: absolute; 1px*1px top:50%;left:50%;, 2nd a relative div left:-Xpx; top:-Ypx; width:2*X; height:2*Y; (<- that would be static), then just place whatever you want inside.

I have 15 Divs with 200px x 200px sized. I also having a container div which height set to 100%.
I need to display the Divs vertically one by one and when its reached the end of the container height, The following divs should display in the second column.
I exactly need my divs to display like floating icons in desktop in PC.
Please help me fix this.
This can be done by setting css column-count property of ul to number of columns

How to make floating DIV list appear in columns, not rows
You can see what I'm going for at http://jsfiddle.net/vW45s/. A center div with two lines of text, and text on the left and right that abuts the text at the bottom of the center div.
I would like the text to be centered on the page (either the main "hello world" or the second line). Right now I'm using an outer div with a specified width and margin: auto. If the width is too large, the text will not appear to be centered; if the width is too small for the inner text, the divs will be stacked: http://jsfiddle.net/vW45s/1/.
Is there a better way to center these three floated divs, while still getting the left and right text to align with the second line of the center div?
Any tips would be appreciated. CSS is not my strong point, but I'm learning.
Floating and centering doesn't mix well. To be able to center something, the browser must be able to determine how wide the element is. To determine it's width, it needs to know how wide the other floating divs are. Their width depends on the width of the element you want to center.
You have these options:
Try to get it to work without assigning a size. It might be possible. Be ready to spend a day or two on this to get it work with Firefox and Chrome and then one week to fix it in IE. ;)
Assign a width to all three divs
Use absolute positioning instead of floating. Make the center column 100% wide and move the side columns in front of it (one left with left: 0 and the other right with right: 0; both will need a definite width). That works until you start resizing the browser window too much (and the side columns start to overlap with the center).
Use a table or display: table-cell because table cells know about their siblings widths without floating. That means you can assign a width to the two side columns and then let the inner column grow.
PS: Yes, I know about the myth that tables are bad. The myth is a gross simplification. It's bad to nest 500 tables to get the design you want if you can get the same result with two divs and some smart CSS. But that doesn't mean you must not use tables at all.
Have you tried adding width: 33% to the left, right, and center divs along with text-align: center?
I have made a simple website and am happy witht he fact that I have had minimal use of div elements. I cannot explain why I do not like using divs, I just dont. That being said I have 2 elements side by side and when the browser shrinks the elements collapse one under the other (it's a paragraph with an image next to it, for ease of picturing).
Other than using position relative and adjusting pixels or wrapping the elements in divs is there a way to prevent two floated elements from changing position when the browser screen shrinks?
you could have a min-width on the container of those two elements. and if they aren't in a div, remember that <body> can also have this min-width
Try to give a width on the container for exampleboth the elements for example say
< class="element-container"> in order to seperate both the elements overlaying on each other.
I am trying to create a site layout using CSS. I have four (4) DIV elements. One is the main container that I have centered in the page and contains all the other DIV elements. Of the remaining three DIVs one is a page header, one is a left menu and the last holds content for the page. I would like to have the CONTENT DIV floated such that it is adjacent to the MENU DIV. However, I am finding that the width of the CONTENT DIV is not using the width I specified. I have created a sample running on JSFIDDLE which should make it easier to visualize.
http://jsfiddle.net/Rrgr7/
What I am trying to figure out is why the CONTENT DIV doesn't take up 600 pixels as I have defined? Thank you.
You have to float your content also. Your content div is 600 from the left not counting the float and if you add more text it will run down under the menu: example.
If you float it, then it will do what you want, but you have to be careful about sizes or it will float down under your menu.
If you just give it a 200px margin and no width, I think that would work best as it would use the remaining space and stay 200px from the left edge. The float doesn't push it further, the margin is from the container div.
I have a bunch of thumbnails that I wish to display in my page. The widths of the thumbnails are not necessarily all the same, and neither are the heights. What I'd like to do is arrange them in a tabular format such that elements line up in neat rows and columns with each "cell" being an equal, specified width.
I do not want to use a table as I would like the number of rows/columns to automatically re-size with a browser re-size.
I've tried sticking the images in:
divs of fixed-width with float left. The problem is because of unequal heights, wrapped divs might "catch" on the bottom of a div on the row above.
spans and lis: setting width: 200px or whatever doesn't seem to fix the width; however they do wrap fine.
If you use display: inline-block on your spans or lis, that should allow you to set the width.

You could use lis and make them display:inline-block;

Drag the window over to see it work.
borders, width, and height added to show effect
you can still use you divs that float left and add this script: http://masonry.desandro.com/
It will push the divs up vertically so that they are beside each other.
