I want to achieve a layout where the outer div is 100% width and height. In this div I will add more divs dynamically. I want to write a css structure that splits the outer div so that each div gets the same space. Actually I want to create a dynamic grid with div elements.
Examples below:
The answer of "Sowmia" is so good but one thing :
you want to sub div have AUTO SIZE and with is solution you can't do this.
my solution is exactly the Sowmia's answer with some changes:
<style type="text/css" >
.main{width:100%; height:100%; background:#F5D0A9; overflow:auto}
.sub{width:auto;
height:auto;
float:left;
background:#8181F7;
margin:4px;
border:solid 1px #2ECCFA}
</style>
and html:
<div class="main">
<div class="sub"></div>
<div class="sub">this is div number 1</div>
<div class="sub">this is div number 2</div>
<div class="sub">if you have a big text this div is bigger than the other
<br />
even you can have a text with some height
</div>
</div>
and this is :
DEMO
with only css its not possible but you can do this with jquery just count div and set their width according to number of div

I've got a red box and a green one, side-by-side, and centered. When the browser width is smaller than the width of the squares, they break into separate lines. How do I keep them together?
(I tried using a container div with their combined widths, which does the job in keeping them together, but they no longer are centered.)
Any suggestions?
The code:
<body>
<div style='text-align:center;font-size:0'>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:red;width:200px;height:50px'></div>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:green;width:200px;height:50px'></div>
</div>
</body>
You can run it here: https://plnkr.co/edit/2De21ziNmaeleFmkPuPF?p=preview
This can be done in many ways, here is 3:
Use min-width
<div style='text-align:center;font-size:0; min-width: 400px'>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:red;width:200px;height:50px'></div>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:green;width:200px;height:50px'></div>
</div>
Use white-space: nowrap
<div style='text-align:center;font-size:0; white-space: nowrap'>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:red;width:200px;height:50px'></div>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:green;width:200px;height:50px'></div>
</div>
Use display: flex;
<div style='text-align:center;font-size:0;display: flex;justify-content: center'>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:red;width:200px;height:50px'></div>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:green;width:200px;height:50px'></div>
</div>
Try using Flex-box
.parent{
display:flex;
border:1px solid green;
width:500px;
}
.parent div{
background:green;
width:100px;
height:100px;
margin:20px;
}
<div class="parent">
<div>cell1</div>
<div>cell2</div>
</div>
Hope this helps
If you give them a fixed width (ex 200+200px), when that div width is passed (ex mobile width of 375px < 400px of divs sum), the last element slide on the next row.
With width of 35% for each other, will look exactly as you want it for that 200px.
<body>
<div style='text-align:center;font-size:0; width: 100%;'>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:red; width:35%;height:50px'></div>
<div style='display:inline-block;background-color:green; width:35%;height:50px'></div>
</div>
</body>
Here is the link to your code
EDIT:
Here is a usefull link for understanding better the width options depends of the width of device, and I encourage you to take a deeply look inside of w3schools, or other platforms where you can learn better how to manipulate elements of html, with css and js.
screen-width
Try using width: 50% on the boxes instead of width: 200px.
I'd like to make my table go full width (prior to my table my content is restricted next to three blocks which I'm cool with).
The table appears after the words "A selection of awards won:"
You can see the page - here
Would this be possible with inline css?
Thanks,
Sam
The best solution is removing your table from the:
<div id="right">
And creating a new div bottom or something with 100% width under the div right/ div left.
<div id="bottom" style="width: 100%"><table>
This should fix your problem,
You can't go full width because your container .sub-content is not full width...
If you want to go full width you will have to put your table in another container that is at the same level as the .left and .right container but with full width.
Something like :
<div id="content-sub">
<div id="left">...</div>
<div id="right">...</div>
<div id="bottom">
<!-- Your table goes here -->
</div>
</div>
with :
#bottom{
display: block;
width:100%;
}
Simply copy your your table code out and place it just above this code
<br clear="all" />
<div id="footers">
How can I achieved aligning of N contiguous divs horizontally with a wrapper whose width is 'auto'?
like:
.boxes{ width:200px;height:200px;float:left; }
<div id="wrapper" style="width:auto;">
<div class="boxes"></div>
<div class="boxes"></div>
<div class="boxes"></div>
. . .
</div>
I tried applying display:inline; and display:inline-block; on wrapper but boxes goes into new y after it reaches the browsers/display width?
But setting document's width into fixed will solve the issue but its not what I want.
Also I can easily achieved this using tables but I don't want to do it because my code will look messy and will be hard for me to maintain.
Add
#wrapper
{
white-space: nowrap;
}
and on your boxes class: change float:left to display:inline-block;
FIDDLE
This will keep your boxes from wrapping.
I am trying to creat a layout like this:
My question is specifically centered around the five boxes. I struggle with the CSS to get it to work. Have you guys got a simple setup for such a layout?
I see that you have fixed width, so here is an example. Widths are not exact for your width, but you can esily set values you need. Main thing here is float:left in small_bottom class which makes div to be shown in one row. overflow:hidden in bottom class makes that div wrap around floating divs (without that it will be shown like there is nothing inside). If you want this depend on browser window width - try using percents in width for small_bottom.
HTML:
<div class="main">
<div class="top"></div>
<div class="bottom">
<div class="small_bottom"></div>
<div class="small_bottom"></div>
<div class="small_bottom"></div>
<div class="small_bottom"></div>
<div class="small_bottom"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
div{border:solid 1px;}
.main{width:350px; border:solid 1px;}
.top{ height:40px;margin:5px;}
.small_bottom{
float:left;
height:50px;
width:50px;
margin:5px;
}
.bottom{margin:5px; overflow:hidden;}
Here is an example how it looks
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div
{
background-color:#ccc;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div style="float: left;">This is a text inside a div element.</div>
<div style="float: right;">We are still in the div element.</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Why isnt the background color showing up in between those 2 divs?
When you float elements you should provide the width of the floated elements. Otherwise you may encounter unexpected behaviors accross different browsers.
Check this tutorial, there is good info on floating in css. [link is dead]
Basically, if you provide an overflow:hidden; to the container div and provide width to the floated elements, your problem will be solved.
<div style="overflow: hidden;">
<div style="float:left; width: 300px;">Some text</div>
<div style="float:right; width: 300px;">Some text</div>
</div>
Similarly, you can add another div wherever you want to normalize the flow ike this:
<div>
<div style="float:left; width: 300px;">Some text</div>
<div style="float:right; width: 300px;">Some text</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div>This div will be at the same place
as if the previous elements are not floated</div>
</div>
Both will work :)
EDIT
Another method which I use frequently in these days is to float the first element and set a margin-left to the following element. For instance:
<div>
<div style="float: left; width: 300px;">Some text</div>
<div style="margin-left: 300px;">Some text</div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
The advantage of this method is that the following element (the second div in this case) does not need a fixed width. Plus, you may skip the third div (clear: both;). It's optional. I just add it in case that the floated div is longer in height than the second div since if you don't add it the parent div will always get the height of the second div.
Just set the container div to overflow: hidden;.
If you set elements to float they won't be in the normal 'flow' of the document anymore.
div { background: #ccc; overflow: hidden; }
And you didn't even made a freehand circle ;)
A floating element doesn't affect the size of the parent, unless the parent specifically contain the children using the overflow style.
Your outer div has the same background colors as the child divs, but the height of the parent is zero, so you don't see its background.
It's because both the divs are floated so the containing divhas no height. If you were to add a third child div whic wasn't a float, give it a height of 0 and clear:both you should see the background colour appear.
The white space you are showing is a body part and you set the background color to the div but not in the body. That is the reason the body part is empty.
To color the empty part you should add following code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div
{
background-color:#ccc;
}
body{
background-color:#ccc;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<div style="float: left;">This is a text inside a div element.</div>
<div style="float: right;">We are still in the div element.</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can change the body background color by changing the background color in body style.
