I'm new in web design. I want to design 2 box that one of them is in the left and another one is in the right. The boxes are fix in browser maximize state, but when I resize the browser and make it minimize, right box go down of the left box.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" >
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<title>.: Home :.</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="main" >
<div class="left" > </div>
<div class="right" >
<div class="search" > </div>
<div class="login" > </div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
style.css
body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: #c4c4c4;
}
div.main {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
}
div.left {
float: left;
width: 300px;
height: 500px;
margin-top: 50px;
margin-left: 100px;
display: inline-block;
background-color: blue;
}
div.right {
float: right;
width: 800px;
height: 500px;
margin-top: 50px;
margin-right: 100px;
display: inline-block;
background-color: green;
}
You need fixed width on your main DIV
div.main {
width: 1350px;
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
}
Use id where possible instead class, it's faster eg: class="main" could be an ID.
WORKING DEMO
EDIT
If you want 100% width on main div then use a wrapper div with fixed width:
<div class="main" >
<div id="wrapper" style="width:1350px;">
<div class="left" > </div>
<div class="right" >
<div class="search" > </div>
<div class="login" > </div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Updated DEMO with 100% main DIV
The reason for this is that your boxes are of fixed width, with margins. If you resize the browser window so it is smaller than the amount of space required to show both boxes side-by-side, then the right box will display below the left box, where it has space.
There is no fix for this from the details in your description. However, you should try basing your layout on percentages (e.g. width:25%).
Change div.main width from % to px. Also you can set a min-width so that browser does not reduce the element before that.

I have a strange problem with my CSS / HTML.
I have a LI which contains two DIV, each 15px height:
But all the browsers compute the height of the LI > 15px.
Also the elements are vertically displaced.
In my opionen the LI should have a height of 15px.
The first DIV inside the LI is a text, and the second DIV is just there to display an background image.
If you check the height with the Firefox Developer Tools, the height of each div is not higher than 15px.
Can someone explain to me why this is happening ?
Just open the code below in the newest Firefox.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="de">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body style="font-size:12px;">
<div style="min-height:500px; width:20%; margin:auto; background-color:red;">
<ul style="background-color:green;">
<li style="background-color:yellow;">
<div style="display:inline-block;width:90%">li #1</div>
<div style="display:inline-block;background-image: url(bg1.jpg);background-size:15px 15px; width:15px;height:15px;" ></div>
</li>
<li style="background-color:yellow;">
<div style="display:inline-block;width:90%">li # 2</div>
<div style="display:inline-block;background-image: url(bg1.jpg);background-size:15px 15px; width:15px;height:15px;" ></div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
No additional CSS is used.
If you replace the LI with DIV, it has still the same behaviour
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="de">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body style="font-size:12px;margin:0;padding:0;">
<div style="min-height:500px; width:20%; margin:auto; background-color:red;">
<div id="parent1">
<div style="display:inline-block;width:90%">li #1</div>
<div style="display:inline-block;background-image: url(bg1.jpg);background-size:15px 15px; width:15px;height:15px;" ></div>
</div>
<div id="parent2">
<div style="display:inline-block;width:90%">li # 2</div>
<div style="display:inline-block;background-image: url(bg1.jpg);background-size:15px 15px; width:15px;height:15px;" ></div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If I give the inner div's of the parent divs the style attribute "float:left;" everything looks as it supposed to be. I want to understand why the browser give the parent div the addiotional 4px, and make it look shitty.
If you set the height of the parent DIV to 15px, it looks how it supposed to be. But if you don't set the height, the height is 18px. How does the browser calculate 18px ? The height of each child is only 15px.
because inline layout has space. like:
<div style="background-color: black; width: 50px">
<div
style="
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background-color: red;
"
/>
<!-- there is a space here, maybe 4px or other size -->
</div>
so the problem is how to remove inline space. There are some methods:
use font-size: 0 , which can set "space" 0 also.
<div style="background-color: black; width: 50px;font-size:0">
<div
style="
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background-color: red;
"
/>
</div>
make child be block. because block elment dosen't leave space.
<div style="background-color: black; width: 50px">
<div
style="
display: block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background-color: red;
"
/>
</div>
use float(not recommended now, use flex instead)
<div style="background-color: black; width: 50px; overflow: hidden">
<div
style="
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background-color: red;
float: left
"
/>
</div>
use flexbox
<div style="background-color: black; width: 50px; display: flex">
<div
style="
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background-color: red;
"
/>
</div>
you can learn from below links also:
https://css-tricks.com/fighting-the-space-between-inline-block-elements/
How do I remove the space between inline/inline-block elements?
It’s because you are making the DIVs inline-block, which means they will be laid out in the line box like any other inline element, and that means leaving space for the underlengths of potential text on the same line.
vertical-align: bottom for the DIVs will fix that.
I have Googled this and tried all they suggested and it doesn't seem to be working.
I am making a template - so it all has to be in one HTML file. I am guessing something is screwy with my CSS that I'm just not catching... I've scanned it several times though.
Picture of problem (I want the white to extend to the bottom of the page; even if there isn't enough content):
CSS (there is more, but I figure these are the only ones that matter):
html, body
{
padding: 0px;
min-height: 100%;
margin: auto;
background-image: url("http://www.pixieduststudio.net/images/stripes.png");
background-repeat: repeat;
}
#wrapper
{
width: 80%;
margin: auto;
background-color: transparent;
}
#navbar
{
background-color: white;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
border-bottom-right-radius: 0px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 0px;
display: block !important;
margin: auto;
height: 75px;
}
#sidenav
{
width: 20%;
float: left;
border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
border-right: 1px solid pink;
background-color: white;
}
#content
{
padding: 25px;
width: 80%;
float: left;
background-color: white;
margin: auto;
}
#content #pageTitle
{
margin: 0;
padding: 25px;
letter-spacing: 3px;
}
#pageContent, img
{
width: 80%;
}

You have to move background-color: white; to #wrapper, which is the container of both the content and the sidebar, to make the full box bg white.
Change #sidenav and #content to display: inline-block rather than float: left to allow #wrapper to adjust to the height of its contents. Add vertical-align: top so they will properly top-align to eachother.
#wrapper
{
width: 80%;
margin: auto;
background-color: white;
}
#sidenav
{
width: 20%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: white;
}
#sidenav .nav {
border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
border-right: 1px solid pink;
}
#content
{
padding: 25px;
width: 80%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
margin: auto;
}
You'll also have to get rid of the 1px right border on #sidenav, which will make the contents of #wrapper add up to more than 100% of its with (and therefore wrap).
Change your sidenav content to:
<div id="sidenav">
<div class="nav">
...
</div>
</div>
In order to fix this, you can change the height of your container to use the vh unit
In your css, set the height of your main content container to:
#content
{
height: 100vh;
}
This will set the height of the container to 100% of the browsers vertical height in the viewport, please note this may have compatability issues with older browsers.
In the case of your problem, you will also need to set the parent elements height to 100vh too, this is because the child element (your main content) will fit to 100% of its parents height, which doesn't fit the whole page, to fix this, add the following to your css:
#wrapper
{
height: 100vh;
}
The child elements will now be able to fill the entire screen.
Consider the following example...
CSS
html,
*
{
border : 0;
box-sizing : border-box;
margin : 0;
padding : 0;
}
#wrapper
{
background-color : red;
display : flex;
min-height : 100vh;
}
#col-1
{
background-color : blue;
display : block;
float : left;
width : 25%;
}
#col-2
{
background-color : yellow;
display : block;
float : left;
width : 75%;
}

The * section in the CSS file gets rid of any default borders, margins and padding for all elements unless they are subsequently specified. The box-sizing : border-box; line makes sure that any borders, margins and padding are contained within the specified width and height, which makes laying out a page much easier.
Please visit https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/ for an explanation of flexbox.
Applying this structure to your page should solve the specified problem nicely.

I have a HTML page with content divided into left and right part using CSS. The height of left content in smaller than the right content. Hence the right content div goes below to the left content div also. Eventually the border of right content is not a straight line.
How can we avoid the creeping of the right content towards the left?
How can we make the height of left content increased till the height of right content (with javascript)?
<html>
<head>
<title>My Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
.myContent {
width: 100%;
}
.myHeader {
}
.leftPart {
border: 1px solid blue;
width: 200px;
clear: left;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
.rightPart {
border: 1px solid orange;
width: 100%;
background-color: beige;
}
</style>

fLoat one element, set margin to the other one.
.leftPart {
border: 1px solid blue;
width: 200px;
float: left;
background-color: red;
}
.rightPart {
margin-left: 200px;
border: 1px solid orange;
background-color: beige;
}
JSBin Demo
Update #1
If you consider using JavaScript, you might want to take a look at equalize.js.
equalize.js is a jQuery plugin for equalizing the height or width of HTML elements.
Here is an example:
// Equalize the height of div element children
$('.myContent').equalize({children: '> div'});
Here is the JSBin Demo.
Update #2
If you're looking for a pure CSS solution, you can use display: table-cell; CSS declaration.
But, honestly, I'd prefer using JavaScript rather than this, because using table display types, may change behavior of web browser while rendering the page (browsers may consider the entire page as a table):
#body { display: table; width: 100%; }
.myContent { display: table-row; }
.leftPart {
width: 200px;
display: table-cell;
}
.rightPart {
display: table-cell;
}
Here is the JSBin Demo
Add this style:
.rightPart {
margin-left: 200px;
}
I am creating a web site. This has a menu bar on the left and main content next to it. The problem is if the main part contains something else than plain text then its size has an effect of the starting point of the left menu bar.
Here is a screenshot:
http://kepmegosztas.com/img/0c8013ce70931aad975d91fd76c1cb3e/site.png
"The logged in as user1" should start at the top, but its starting point depends on the size (height) of the textarea. The textarea is resizeable, when I resize it, the content of the left menu "follows" it.

Your textarea inside of div#row. Separate it and it will be ok.
As another solution fix div#left to top and set it's height
you set div#left and div#main as a table-cell, so they must have the same heights when resizing. As solution you can add extra layer inside div#left and set position for it, or you can try to span vertical cells, but didn't think that is work on layers. Maybe setting of vertical-align for div#left is kind
I am creating a sample website which has three divisions horizontally.
I want the left most div to be 25% width, the middle one to be 50% width, and right to be 25% width so that the divisions fill all the 100% space horizontally.

When I execute this code, the divs appear over each other. I want them to appear beside each other!
How can i do this?
I'd refrain from using floats for this sort of thing; I'd rather use inline-block.
Some more points to consider:
Inline styles are bad for maintainability
You shouldn't have spaces in selector names
You missed some important HTML tags, like <head> and <body>
You didn't include a doctype
Here's a better way to format your document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Website Title</title>
<style type="text/css">
* {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
#container {height: 100%; width:100%; font-size: 0;}
#left, #middle, #right {display: inline-block; *display: inline; zoom: 1; vertical-align: top; font-size: 12px;}
#left {width: 25%; background: blue;}
#middle {width: 50%; background: green;}
#right {width: 25%; background: yellow;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="left">Left Side Menu</div>
<div id="middle">Random Content</div>
<div id="right">Right Side Menu</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here's a jsFiddle for good measure.
I know this is a very old question. Just posting this here as I solved this problem using FlexBox. Here is the solution
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display: flex;
}
#leftThing {
width: 25%;
background-color: blue;
}
#content {
width: 50%;
background-color: green;
}
#rightThing {
width: 25%;
background-color: yellow;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="leftThing">
Left Side Menu
</div>
<div id="content">
Random Content
</div>
<div id="rightThing">
Right Side Menu
</div>
</div>
Just had to add display:flex to the container! No floats required.
You can use floating elements like so:
<div id="the whole thing" style="height:100%; width:100%; overflow: hidden;">
<div id="leftThing" style="float: left; width:25%; background-color:blue;">Left Side Menu</div>
<div id="content" style="float: left; width:50%; background-color:green;">Random Content</div>
<div id="rightThing" style="float: left; width:25%; background-color:yellow;">Right Side Menu</div>
</div>
Note the overflow: hidden; on the parent container, this is to make the parent grow to have the same dimensions as the child elements (otherwise it will have a height of 0).
Easiest way
I can see the question is answered , I'm giving this answer for the ones who is having this question in future
It's not good practise to code inline css , and also ID for all inner div's , always try to use class for styling .Using inline css is a very bad practise if you are trying to be a professional web designer.
Here in your question
I have given a wrapper class for the parent div and all the inside div's are child div's in css you can call inner div's using nth-child selector.
I want to point few things here
Do not use inline css ( it is very bad practise )
Try to use classes instead of id's because if you give an id you can use it only once, but if you use a class you can use it many times and also you can style of them using that class so you write less code.

.wrapper {
width: 100%;
}
.box {
float: left;
height: 100px;
}
.box:nth-child(1) {
width: 25%;
background-color: red;
}
.box:nth-child(2) {
width: 50%;
background-color: green;
}
.box:nth-child(3) {
width: 25%;
background-color: yellow;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="box">
Left Side Menu
</div>
<div class="box">
Random Content
</div>
<div class="box">
Right Side Menu
</div>
</div>
You add a
float: left;
to the style of the 3 elements and make sure the parent container has
overflow: hidden; position: relative;
this makes sure the floats take up actual space.
<html>
<head>
<title>Website Title </title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="the-whole-thing" style="position: relative; overflow: hidden;">
<div id="leftThing" style="position: relative; width: 25%; background-color: blue; float: left;">
Left Side Menu
</div>
<div id="content" style="position: relative; width: 50%; background-color: green; float: left;">
Random Content
</div>
<div id="rightThing" style="position: relative; width: 25%; background-color: yellow; float: left;">
Right Side Menu
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Also please note that the width: 100% and height: 100% need to be removed from the container, otherwise the 3rd block will wrap to a 2nd line.
Get rid of the position:relative; and replace it with float:left; and float:right;.
