I have following code:
<div>
<div id="dynamic" style="float:left;height:50px;background-color:#aaa;">
floated block which will be dynamically increase
</div>
<div id="static" style="height:50px;background-color:#FC3;">
Hello guys
</div>
</div>
I want to move static div as dynamic div width changes. Above code works as I want but I don't know whether the above way is the right to do that?
Is floated div inside inline text the right way? Is that cross-browser?
Will this code affect anything else, like the content below it or moving below static div?
And why does floated div not move below inline content, rather aligns it with inline text?
You can use float:left for the <div id="static"> too. I don't see any issues until your dynamic div width + static div width reach the window width.
This >> http://jsfiddle.net/gxpBL/ is what I'm telling.

I have the following html code
<div id='main'>
Question Title
<div id='tooltip'>?</div>
</div>
Question Title is centered inside of the main container. I want my tooltip div to appear right next to the centered text inside my main container, while the main container can be arbitrarily large. How can I achieve this? I found similar issues on SO but none of the solutions actually worked for my case
Change the display property of the #tooltip div to "inline-block". This will make it appear directly after the text on the same line
Use SPAN instead of DIV.
<div id='main'>
Question Title
<span id='tooltip'>?</span>
</div>
Here is the fiddle
Or keep the DIV but change its Display property to "inline-block"
Like this fiddle.
I have an issue with my CSS layout
I have a form that is contained in a 500 pixel fixed width. It is set to be centered in the page with margin auto;
Inside that div I made a table using div's. Since each div's that act as a table row have different height, I have used the overflow:hidden property. I did that to minimize the size of the form.
Inside that div I have 3 other divs that act like table data "td". They are floating inside the row.
What I am trying to achieve is to display another div on top of them all when there is an error in the form. Just like the one you see on Stackoverflow reminding you that you have code in your text that need to be set as code. The red div on the right. Now I am a bit stuck because I can't overflow that div to the sides.
So what other option do i have to set the height of the "row" div without using overflow:hidden. I dont want to use tables and the content is always changing.
Any solution is welcome.
Here is simple code so you get the picture;
<div class="row">
<div class="overflowing"></div>
<div class="float_left"></div><div class="float_left"></div> <div class="float_right"></div>
</div>
The overflowing div should not push the floating divs around and is not visible until I change it's property and fill it with content.
Use clearfix class with row if you are using bootstrap
<div class="row clearfix">
OR
<div class="clearfix"></div>
before end of row tag
If it is not using bootstrap
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
before end of row tag
`
<div class="float_left"></div><div class="float_left"></div> <div class="float_right"></div>
</div>`
I think it will work, and about the alternative to overflow use fixed height width thenoverflow:auto wolud be useful
The objective of the HTML below is to have on the same horizontal line the red and the blue divs, even thought the blue div is truncated on the right due to a large width. This jsfiddle shows that even though the black/container style has overflow:hidden the blue div is not truncated. What's wrong with this HTML?
<div id="row1" style="width:600px;height:100px;background-color:black;position:relative;overflow:hidden;">
<div id="c1" style="width:400px;height:30px;background-color:red;float:left">aaaa</div>
<div id="c2" style="width:400px;height:30px;background-color:blue;float:left">bbbb</div>
</div>
Floated elements will stack horizontally until the edge of their parent container is reached. At that point, the next floated element will fall down to the next line and the remaining elements will again stack next to each other.
In order to achieve the effect you're looking for, you're going to need a parent container for the floats that is wide enough to contain all the floats.
THEN, and only then, can you place another container around the parent that will clip the overflow.
<div id="row1" style="width:600px;height:100px;background-color:black;position:relative;overflow:hidden;">
<div style="width:800px">
<div id="c1" style="width:400px;height:30px;background-color:red;float:left">aaaa</div>
<div id="c2" style="width:400px;height:30px;background-color:blue;float:left">bbbb</div>
</div>
</div>

Floats bump down to the next line when there isn't sufficient room in the parent to contain them.
When you use float: and the parent div or object doesn't have the space to go ahead and display it all it just displays everything on the next line or into the next area.
Maybe just adding some more to your height values would fix it or subsequently toning down the size of the objects included in that area.
First of all, the inner divs are wrapping because of the width of container -- which is the basic behavior of float.
Also, "overflow:hidden" works in a different way in your code.
When contents have float: left or right and the container has overflow:hidden, then the container automatically wraps whole the contents instead of hiding contents.

I was creating a simple html with a header and logo in it. Im doing this for email templates, so all are inline styles. I noticed there is a float break happening and the image is overflowing its parent.
<div style="width:640px;">
<!-- header -->
<div id="header" style="background-color:#005387; height:160px;">
<div id="logo-container" style="margin-top:20px;margin-left:20px;">
<img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTPCYwy-3sPJo4XjlB28KVXivC2FlDjYquB1i5Kb7assH9trLoanw">
</div>
</div>
</div>

Any idea why this is happening? When I add overflow:hidden to #header elem, it works fine. But Im not floating any element within that, then why is there a float break?
EDIT:
Okey, I wasnt clear enough. Updated the code. I want to add margin-top to #logo-container. But when I do that, the whole div comes down, as if the #header is not within the normal flow(which I meant by float-break which usually happens when we float elements inside a parent).
Why not just specify a height on the img?
<img src="https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTPCYwy-3sPJo4XjlB28KVXivC2FlDjYquB1i5Kb7assH9trLoanw" height="60px">

Otherwise just don't spcify a height on the header..
http://jsfiddle.net/HMswX/3/
Based on your update..
The margin isn't working because the div is collapsing.. look at this:
Float the div.. http://jsfiddle.net/HMswX/10/
Apply overflow:auto.. http://jsfiddle.net/HMswX/12/
If you want to read more on collapsing divs see this post same issue..
Why does this CSS margin-top style not work?
JoshC has the right answer to your question about why this is happening.
For the desired effect why not simply add a padding to the parent div?
<div id="header" style="background-color:#005387; padding:20px">
<div id="logo-container">
http://jsfiddle.net/HMswX/13/
This saves you from having to set an explicit height.
Because you have defined in the div with id=header:
height:60px;
Do you want the image to scale down or what is your desired result?
I'm not sure what you mean by float break, but you specify a height in your #header which is smaller than the height of your image. Thus, by default, it will overflow. If you specify overflow:hidden, it will be cut off. Why not remove the height and specify overflow:auto in your #header? Alternative reduce the size of your image by giving it a height, too.
See jsFiddle 1 and jsFiddle 2.
I have a div element that is defined on the top of the page and I have this another div element that is defined at the bottom of the page.... is there any way that I can define the first div element (at the top) as a child of the div element that is at the bottom.
The problem is I need a div in header in the header file (header.php) this div acts as a container for an JS, but once the data is loaded I want it to be displayed inside another div.
Would postponing the loading of JS till the middle section of page is advisable...
Yes: make the top div a child of the bottom div by placing the child within the markup of the parent, and use absolute positioning to move the child to the top.
No, because it's not a child of that DIV. If you want it to be a child, make it a child, and then alter it's position with CSS to be on the top of the page.
No, though you can move it with JavaScript after the second element loads.
By "child" do you mean simply appears inside, yet the HTML is defined at the top? If so, you could also possibly simply change the positioning via CSS.
Are you constrained to output the HTML for the first div at the top of the page for any reason? The real solution here is to simply output elements where you actually want them.
No idea why you would want to do that but this markup should suffice:
<div id="wrap">
<div id="main">
<!-- Insert content, push off the top with "margin-top:150px", etc. -->
</div>
<div id="foot">
<div id="head">
<!-- Insert header stuff, position with "positon:absolute", etc. -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
Tweak width, height, margin and padding of elements to taste.
