I'm trying to align a <div> with a <h2> inside it at the bottom of a parent div. The best way to show you is through code so here's the JSFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/3GGa7/
As you can see, the project-title div (and the <h2> inside it) is aligned to the top of the project-header div. I would like it to sink to the bottom of that div, to look like this:
However if I apply a margin-top to project-title it pushes everything down rather than just that div, and if I apply a padding the black background will cover the image.
What's the most elegant way to accomplish this?
Since the .project-title must be contained within the .project-header, give the .project-header a position:relative; and the .project-title a position:absolute;
.project-header {
height: 100px;
position:relative;;
}
.project-title {
background: black;
opacity: 0.75;
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
left:0px;
right:0px;
}
Check it out http://jsfiddle.net/gXyEU/
This way, whether you use a bigger image, or change its position or margin, you'll never have to worry about the title, it will always be positioned where it should be.
If your picture size is steady. You can try the css below:
.project {
width: 335px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 6px;
}
.project-header {
height: 100px;
}
.project-title {
background: black;
opacity: 0.75;
float:left;
width:100%;
margin-top:25%;
}
.project-title h2 {
color: #fff;
margin-bottom:0px;
float:left;
}
just close your project-header div before start of project-title div like as
<div class="project">
<div class="project-header" style="background-image:url('http://placekitten.com/200/300');" ></div>
<div class="project-title">
<h2>Project title</h2>
</div>
<div class="project-description">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam ornare felis id enim dignissim dapibus. Maecenas dui mi, ullamcorper eget semper non, varius quis orci. Suspendisse lobortis nibh sed nisi luctus dictum. Sed vel arcu eros. Etiam id varius neque. Cras ac sapien in est fringilla tempor vitae et est.</p>
</div>
</div>
FIDDLE is here
If you don't mind setting the width of .project-header
.project-header {
width: 335px;
height: 100px;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: bottom;
}

Questions... and answers. Let's go over the issues you have one by one.
Reduce images to the same size
It's best to let CSS take care of this. By setting the background of an element to the image you want and setting the background-size to cover, the browser will scale the image such that the aspect ratio is maintained and the image nicely covers all of the element you put it in.
Now make all elements the same size and voilà, this point is done.
Create modules of the same size
This can be achieved in two ways.
Set fixed sizes on your boxes.
Use more advanced CSS, in particular the flexbox layout module.
To keep things simple, I'll use the first approach for now. Read up on flex if you are interested in it!
Align the modules in the same line
This can be achieved in many ways, but the most straightforward one is setting display to inline-block. This will make it so that every block in your module is treated as a, well, a block, meaning that it can have a set width and height. At the same time, it is laid out as if it were text. So, one block after another will simply go on the same line. When that does not fit on screen anymore, blocks will flow to the next line.
Putting this all together. Here is a quick toy example that includes all of the above. It should serve as a good starting point to build from.
.card {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
width: 150px;
height: 270px;
margin: 10px;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid #444;
border-radius: 5px;
}
.image {
/* width is 100%, so 150px, by default */
height: 150px;
background-size: cover;
}
.text {
height: 150px;
margin-top: -40px;
}
.text > p {
max-height: 90px;
overflow: hidden;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
}
h1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
color: #eee;
font-size: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
}
p {
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 15px;
line-height: 20px;
}
<div class="card">
<div class="image"
style="background-image: url('http://lorempixel.com/150/150/abstract/');"></div>
<div class="text">
<h1>Foo</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec faucibus auctor odio, sed lobortis odio pellentesque tincidunt. Curabitur et libero maximus, consequat mi non, dignissim turpis.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="image"
style="background-image: url('http://lorempixel.com/150/150/city/');"></div>
<div class="text">
<h1>Bar</h1>
<p>Sed ac lacus vel mi mollis ullamcorper quis ac sapien. Ut quis ornare ligula. Nullam a sapien eget arcu mattis aliquam. Quisque dapibus leo vel lacus rutrum sollicitudin.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card">
<div class="image"
style="background-image: url('http://lorempixel.com/150/150/cats/');"></div>
<div class="text">
<h1>Baz</h1>
<p>Nullam eu urna dictum, gravida augue nec, dignissim enim. Duis sit amet elit quis mauris consectetur rhoncus et a ipsum. Fusce vel sagittis nulla, et imperdiet quam.</p>
</div>
</div>
You need to change your HTML and CSS to make it work properly.
<div class="background">
<div class="image" style="background-image: url('https://zero.eu/content/uploads/2017/01/Ryley_Walker-730x490.jpg');">
</div>
<div class="text">
<p>test test test</p>
</div>
</div>
then your CSS should look like this:
.background {
width: 360px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
}
.image {
background-size: cover; /* that will keep the image in original ratio */
background-position: center center;
height: inherit;
}
.text {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 25%;
}
That will make an image to fully cover the background space and then the .text will be an overlay on the image. Actually, you could even skip the .image div, add background and the CSS to the .background div and it will work as well.
The example you provided features something different than your code is suggesting. If you want to achieve the look from example, then:
.background {
width: 360px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
background: #fff;
}
.image {
background-size: cover; /* that will keep the image in original ratio */
background-position: center center;
position: relative;
}
.image:before {
content: "";
display: block;
padding-top: 60%; /* that will make a fixed ratio of you image box, even if you'll scale the background boc /*
}
.text {
/* actually it doesn't need styling in that case */
}
.background's parent {
display: flex; /* to make the blocks even in height without setting that as a fixed value */
}
Your code and the example you provided are doing different things. In order to get the effect of your example, you need more than one "card" (image and text together).
You can use display: flex on the .background div so that all the cards are the same height. Then you can add some margin to the cards so they are separated a little.
.background {
display: flex;
background: cyan;
}
.card {
width: 360px;
background: white;
margin: 10px;
}
.text {
padding: 0 5px;
}
.text p {
width:100%;
overflow: hidden;
}

<h1>Event Heading</h1>

<div class="textblock">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Donec odio. Quisque volutpat mattis eros. Nullam malesuada erat ut turpis. Suspendisse urna nibh, viverra non, semper suscipit, posuere a, pede.</div>
</header>
Issue
I have this HTML structure which I can not edit/rearrange. I would like to position the h1, div.meta and div.textblock is as in the picture below.
I can't work it out with floats the way I want to because of the sequence of the HTML.
Illustration
This can be achieved with absolute positioning:
header {
position: relative;
min-height: 100px; }
div.meta {
position: absolute;
width: 100px; height:100px;
top:0; left:0;
border: 1px solid red; }
header h1 {
margin-left: 120px;
border-bottom: 2px solid red; }
header div.textblock { margin-left: 120px; }
See fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/utsKx/
You can change the div.meta widths and h1/textblock margin-left to percentages if you want a responsive layout.
EDIT
Added min-height to header to ensure div.meta never falls outside the parent header block. (Thanks for MarcAudet for pointing this out)
See this example:

In my fiddle you will see a break in text, I would like to put a <hr> there and decorate it in the CSS, but I have no idea how to do this as when I do this it breaks my inline-block, and I'm thinking that's because the <hr> is a block element. Is there any creative solutions around this? I need it to be fixed there between the two paragraphs of text to maintain responsiveness.
Thanks!
FIDDLE
HTML:
<section>
<div class="first">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut rutrum, nisl id ultricies sollicitudin, neque sapien porta nisl, ut gravida elit quam id nisi. <br /><br />Nunc viverra laoreet porttitor. Duis augue justo, pellentesque a luctus eget, luctus a quam. Fusce nec neque nec dolor mattis tempor id vitae nisi.</p>
<img class="ipad" src="http://img1.lesnumeriques.com/news/26/26963/ipad-4-os.jpg">
</div>
</section>
CSS:
.first {
height: 100%;
line-height: 0;
}
.first p {
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
width: 49%;
}
.ipad {
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
width: 49.2%;
}
p {
margin: 0;
padding: 1em 0;
font-size: 1.8em;
line-height: 1.5;
}
You could achieve this by wrapping your <p> and <hr> elements into another <div> element, and making it display:inline-block. My solution involved adding this wrapper so your structure ended up being:
<section>
<div class="first">
<div class="text-wrap">
<p></p>
<hr />
<p></p>
</div>
<img class="ipad" src="http://img1.lesnumeriques.com/news/26/26963/ipad-4-os.jpg" />
</div>
</section>
(Additional element is .text-wrap. Note that I split up the two paragraphs into individual <p> elements.) The CSS I left mostly alone, except I removed the definition for .first p, and added these two:
.text-wrap{
vertical-align: middle;
display:inline-block;
width:49%;
}
.text-wrap p {
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
}
Here's a JSFiddle example that shows what this achieves. If this isn't what you were looking for, or you wanted to use a different method, let me know and I'll be happy to help further!
Here's an alternative to Serlite's answer. It basically puts the <hr> in implicitly, using CSS.
fiddle
We add a border to the top of each paragraph, except the first one in each container.
p {
...
border-top: 1px solid black;
}
p:nth-child(1) {
border-top: none;
}
Given this simple structure:
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">Lorem ipsum</div>
</div>
with this CSS:
#parent {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
padding: 20px;
overflow-x: scroll;
}
#child {
width: 500px;
}
Live demo: http://jsfiddle.net/523me/5/
Notice that the parent has a 20px padding and that the child overflows horizontally (because it is wider). If you scroll the parent all the way to the right, you'll see that the child touches the right edge of the parent.
So, the parent should have a right padding, but it is ignored. It seems that when the child has a fixed width, the right padding of the parent does not apply. (Is this specified by a standard? I would love to know. Please let me know if you find anything!)
Is there a way to force the right padding to be applied in this scenario without having to remove any of the elements from the flow (by floating or positioning)?
Screenshot 1 - The right padding is ignored. This is how all current browsers behave.
Screenshot 2 - The right padding applies. This is what I'm trying to accomplish. (Btw, the screenshot is from IE7, which is the only browser which does not ignore the right padding.)
You're suffering from this problem.
I would solve it by giving a margin to the child (and not a padding to the parent):
body {
padding: 2em;
}
#parent {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
overflow-x: scroll;
background: gray;
}
#child {
width: 500px;
background: yellow;
margin: 20px;
display: inline-block;
}
<div id="parent">
<div id="child">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras et turpis eu lorem consectetur blandit sed vel ligula. In lorem ligula, lacinia sed aliquet sed, congue quis tortor. In sed magna eros, eget blandit arcu. Nulla sit amet volutpat ipsum. Duis
quis nisl massa. Sed ipsum magna, tempus non malesuada in, gravida et sapien. Fusce a odio nulla, quis ultrices mauris. Maecenas in tellus id massa fringilla molestie.</div>
</div>
Dunno but adding:
#child{
display: inline-block;
}
Seems to fix it: http://jsfiddle.net/523me/6/
I've only tested in latest Chrome, may not be cross-browser
You might change the padding to a border.
padding: 20px;
to
border: 20px solid gray;
No, the padding is not ignored, but it's still inside the parent.
See updated jsFiddle, where you can see that the padding hasn't moved from its original position.
Edit: Hm, there are some anomalies. If you give the inner div a right margin, that gets ignored too. Hm. Upvoting your question.
Apply padding-right to overflowing element itself, and move background to its direct child element.
<div id="parent">
<div id="child"><div>Lorem ipsum...</div></div>
</div>
<style>
#parent {padding-right: 0; }
#child {padding-right: 20px; }
#child > DIV {background: yellow; }
</style>

I know this has been asked before but im curious to see if things have changed.
I'm looking for a html/css fixed 3 column layout with the main content (middle) area located first (of the 3 columns) in the DOM - for SEO.
Any ideas?
It requires a bit extra markup, but to get the content to be first, you can try something like this:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content-wrapper">
<div id="content">I'm first</div>
<div id="side_a">I'm second</div>
</div>
<div id="side_b">I'm third</div>
</div>
And in CSS:
#wrapper {
width: 800px; /* Total width of all columns */
margin: 0 auto;
}
#content-wrapper {
float: left;
}
#content {
width: 400px;
float: right;
}
#side_a {
width: 200px;
float: left;
}
#side_b {
float: left;
width: 200px;
}
#wrapper contstraints the columns to the width of 800px and makes the page centered. The #content and #side_a columns are arranged inside #content_wrapper in reverse order using different floats. #side_b is then floated alongside #content_wrapper.
A working example can be found here:
http://www.ulmanen.fi/stuff/columns.php
This is the same approach used Tatu, but with:
a header
a footer
a fluid width instead of fixed sizes
columns that have full height background colors
extra divs to pad the content in the columns
You can test it on jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/BzaSL/
