I have the following problem:
There's an image floating left and a margin to the right.
Next to it, there is a div containing a headline and a text (I don't know any height-values of both, because it will be inserted dynamically).
The headline must align to the top and the text to the bottom. I thought it's enough to position the text absolute, but if the height of the image is smaller than the height of the headline + the text, the text flows into the headline....
I haven't found any solution to position the text at the bottom but letting it stay in document flow.
I am not allowed to use any table-elements (on the otherhand, display: table and so on is allowed, but I haven't figured out any solution with that as well)
<<<HTML
<div>
<h4>A headline, that isn't involved</h4>
<div class="clearfix">
<div> <!-- float left, margin-right -->
<img>
</div>
<div> <!-- float left -->
<h5>The headline aligning to the top</h5>
<p>
Some text aligning to the bottom
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
HTML
Please help me, I just can't figure out any solution!
/EDIT:
Both the imnages' and text-/headline-containers' height may vary, so no fixed height.
What i got so far is (by assuming, the text wont have more than 4 lines (but thats not the best way). The next Problem is: Firefox adds the margin-bottom of .box to the bottom: 0; of the text (like: bottom: -35px; But shown as bottom: 0; ... Chrome does interpret that the right way):
<style>
.box {
width: 488px;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 33px;
margin-right: 22px;
padding-top: 5px;
}
.table {
display: table;
}
.box.wide .box-content {
display: table-row;
}
.box.wide .box-content > div {
display: table-cell;
position: relative;
width: 233px;
}
.box.wide .box-content > div:first-child {
margin-right: 22px;
}
.box.wide .box-content div h5 {
padding-bottom: 88px;
}
.box.wide .box-content div p {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
}
</style>
<div class="box wide width-488">

<h4>Überschrift</h4>

try using display: inline-block; on both floating elements and the text element that you want aligned to the bottom.
Then put the property vertical-align: bottom; on the text element you want aligned to the bottom.
I assumed you can make the right column a fix height, since the left column & right are the same in your image example.
I made a jsfiddle for your convenience: http://jsfiddle.net/hLPXM/
Alternately, here is what I did, based on your original code:
<h4>A headline, that isn't involved</h4>
<div class="clearfix">
<div class="left"> <!-- float left, margin-right -->
<img src="http://placehold.it/150x350" alt="placeholder" />
</div>
<div class="right"> <!-- float left -->
<h5>The headline aligning to the top</h5>
<div class="bottom-text">
<p>
Some text aligning to the bottom
</p>
</div><!-- .bottom-text -->
</div>
</div>
Note I added a .bottom-text class around the <p> that you want to align bottom.
Here is the CSS for the divs to float properly, etc. Note the position:relative; :
.left {float:left; margin-right:20px;}
.right {float:left; background:#eeddff; /*background to see div*/}
.left, .right {height:350px; position:relative;}
And more importantly the text starting from the baseline:
.bottom-text {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
}
Here is a solution for you, using display: table, relative and absolute positioning:
<div>
<h4>A headline, that isn't involved</h4>
<div style="display:table;">
<div style="display:table-row;">
<div style="display:table-cell;padding-right: 20px;">
<img style="display:block" src="http://baconmockup.com/300/200">
</div>
<div style="display:table-cell;background:green;position:relative;vertical-align:top;">
<p style="">Some text aligning to the top</p>
<p style="position:absolute;bottom:0;">Some text aligning to the bottom</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
It does not rely on any fixed heights, and adopts to the height of the image automatically.

I don't know if you have already fixed this but the easiest way is to add margin-top: auto; to your p tag.

Before anything, I'm very new to this HTML and CSS world.
I have this HTML code:
<section class="instructions">
<div class="row">
<div class="instructions-col">
<h5>1.</h5>
<p>First, you'll need to choose your language. Click the button indicated.</p>
<img src="media/instructions/1.png">
</div>
<div class="instructions-col">
<h5>2.</h5>
<p>Use the switch to choose your language.</p>
<img src="media/instructions/2.png">
</div>
<div class="instructions-col">
<h5>3.</h5>
<p>When the right language is selected, click the indicated button.</p>
<img src="media/instructions/3.png">
</div>
<div class="instructions-col">
<h5>4.</h5>
<p>Elderoid's idiom is now updated. Click the indicated button to continue.</p>
<img src="media/instructions/4.png">
</div>
<div class="instructions-col">
<h5>5.</h5>
<p>This is the welcome screen. Click the indicated button to continue.</p>
<img src="media/instructions/5.png">
</div>
</div>
</section>
This code creates a row of divs, each containing a title, a paragraph and an image.
I also added this CSS code:
.instructions {
width: 80%;
margin: auto;
}
.row {
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.instructions-col {
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 20px;
flex-basis: 15%;
background: #fff7f3;
border-radius: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
.instructions-col p {
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 22px;
padding: 20px;
}
.instructions-col img {
padding-top: 0;
border-radius: 6px;
}
Resulting in this:
I all looks pretty close to what I'm aiming for, except for column 2 (the second div). As you can see in the picture, the paragraph is smaller and that results in the images not getting lined up horizontally.
I need the images to be aligned to the bottom of the div (all at the same level), so as the titles to be aligned to the top of the div (all at the same level too). Also, the paragraph in the middle, should be centered between the title and image.
I've been playing with margins and the justify-content tag, but haven't been able to pull it off.
Any suggestions?
You can add display: flex and flex-direction: column to .instructions-col. Also add flex: 1 to paragraph. Then your paragraph will push heading to top and image to bottom. If you add display: flex and align-items: center to paragraph, it will be centered between heading and image.
Please take a look at an example of this.
.row {
display: flex;
}
.column {
width: 150px;
margin: 1rem;
border: 1px solid black;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.column p {
flex: 1;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="column">
<h5>Title</h5>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
<img src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/100x100">
</div>
<div class="column">
<h5>Title</h5>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Sunt omnis molestiae dolorum nam eius incidunt?</p>
<img src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/100x100">
</div>
<div class="column">
<h5>Title</h5>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</p>
<img src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/100x100">
</div>
</div>
The cause is the text, not the images. You have an image under a paragraph of text, so the position of the image depends on where the text ends. The other blocks of text have 3 lines, but in col 2 it's just two lines. So, the image starts a line higher.
The solution is either to add more text (even a line break) to make all the text blocks the same size, or to align the image to the bottom of the containing div (using flexbox, ideally) rather than being positioned based on the text block as is the case now.
I want to center an floated image and a container (paragraph + heading):
.row {
display: block;
/* width: 100%; */
}
.left {
float: left;
}
.right {
float: right;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="container">
<img class="right" src="" width="300" height="300" />
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="container">
<img class="left" src="" width="300" height="156" />
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
</div>
Here is also a live version of the problem. I have cleared the floats but now I can't center the .img and .container element. What would you slove the problem?
You have no luck with floated elements since they don't obey vertical-align. You can instead use display: table-cell along with vertical-align: middle and that would work perfectly. Albeit you will need to modify your HTML structure a little bit to place the content first before the image and vice versa depending on the way you want the content and images to appear on the front-end.
.container {
display: table;
}
.content {
width: 50%;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.image {
width: 50%;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.image img {
width: 100%;
}
<div class="row">
<div class="container">
<div class="content">
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
</div>
<div class="image">
<img src="http://dev.dashbox.si/media/wysiwyg/vsebina-dashboxa.jpg" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="container">
<div class="image">
<img src="http://dev.dashbox.si/media/wysiwyg/vsebina-dashboxa.jpg" />
</div>
<div class="content">
<h1>Heading</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Basically what you can do to vertically align text is change the display of the container to table then the paragraph to table-cell and then set the vertical-align to middle looking like this:
.row {
display: table;
overflow: hidden;
}
.left, .right {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
You might also need to set overflow to hidden on the container so that the height is maintained because of the floats.
We have a fix set of CSS rules, but when we modify the HTML markup to include a canvas, a weird padding appears on the neighboring cell. Here is the CSS:
.wrap{
width:100%;
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.left{
width: 100px;
display: table-cell;
background-color: #0f0;
}
.right{
background-color: #f00;
display: table-cell;
}
Normal case:
See the fiddle here. Note the position of the text in the red cell: top, aligned with the top of the cell.
<div class="wrap">
<div class="row">
<div class="left">
Lorem<br>Lorem<br>Lorem<br>Lorem<br>Lorem
</div>
<div class="right">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
</div>
</div>
</div>
Canvas case:
See the fiddle here. We swapped the Lorem text in the left cell for a 90x90 canvas. See how the text on the red cell is now aligned with the bottom of the canvas and a padding is applied to the cell.
<div class="wrap">
<div class="row">
<div class="left">
<canvas width='90px' height='90x'></canvas>
</div>
<div class="right">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
</div>
</div>
</div>
Question: Could you explain why this padding appears on the left cell, and if this is an expected behavior? Also, could you propose a solution that gets rid of this 'bug'?
I am styling a series of form rows. Each row div has a fixed-width label div, and a content div that can contain any number of float: left elements.
Example markup is:
<div class="Row">
<div class="Label">Label Here</div>
<div class="Content">
<div class="Item">Short Content</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="Row">
<div class="Label">Label Here</div>
<div class="Content">
<div class="Item">
Long Content ... Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Mauris id eros magna. Suspendisse eu diam nunc. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Fusce eu neque massa.
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS so far is:
.Row {
clear: left;
padding: 10px;
}
.Label {
float: left;
width: 150px;
}
.Content {
float: left;
}
.Content .Item {
float: left;
}
jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/vVy5J/2/
This looks correct as long as the contents of the content div are not wider than the remaining width in the row. If they are, the content div 'flops' down beneath the label instead and hugs the left edge of the row div: http://screencast.com/t/Iknv98R9
I need long content divs to wrap, but still be against the top of the row and flush with the right edge of the label.
The traditional solution for this is to give the content div a fixed width. But that won't fly here because the row widths vary based on browser window size, etc. and the content div needs to stretch from the right edge of the label div to the right edge of the containing row div.
Requirements: I can alter the markup only within the row div. Contents need to be elements, so text-indent won't work for me. I need to support IE7+
You could put a position:relative; on the Row, position:absolute; on the Label just to take it out of the document flow, then margin-left:150px on the Content (or however wide it's supposed to be).
It won't be good though if there's any chance of the Label being taller than the Content.
You can use simple positioning trick. #row must be relative and content is absolute with left: 150px.
.Row
{
...
position: relative;
}
.Content
{
...
position: absolute;
left: 150px;
}
jsfiddle
I know there are a few questions about similar topics but they mostly amount to floating the div/image. I need to have the image (and div) positioned absolutely (off to the right) but I simply want the text flow around it. It works if I float the div but then I can't position it where I want. As it is the text just flows behind the picture.
<div class="post">
<div class="picture">
<a href="/user/1" title="View user profile.">
<img src="http://www.neatktp.com/sites/default/files/photos/BlankPortrait.jpg" alt="neatktp's picture" title="neatktp's picture" />
</a>
</div>
<span class='print-link'></span>
<p>BlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlah.</p>
<p>BlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlah.</p>
</div>
Is an example of the HTML
With the CSS being:
.picture img {
background: #fff;
border: 1px #ddd solid;
padding: 2px;
float: right;
}
.post .picture {
display: block;
height: auto;
position: absolute;
right: -10px;
top: -10px;
width: auto;
}
.post {
border: 1px solid #FFF;
border-bottom: 1px solid #e8ebec;
padding: 37px 22px 11px;
position: relative;
z-index: 4;
}
It's a Drupal theme so none of this code is mine, it's just that it's not fully working when it comes to putting a picture there.
I know this is an older question but I came across it looking to do what I believe you were trying to. I've made a solution using the :before CSS selector, so it's not great with ie6-7 but everywhere else you should be good.
Basically, putting my image in a div I can then add a long thing float block before hand to bump it down and the text wraps merrily around it!
img {
float:right;
clear:both;
width: 50% ;
margin: 30px -50px 10px 10px ;
}
.rightimage:before {
content: '' ;
display:block;
float: right;
height: 200px;
}

Absolute positioning takes the element out of the normal document flow, and therefore it does not interact with the other elements. Perhaps you should revist how to position it using float instead, and ask about it here on Stack Overflow if you get stuck :)
As mentioned by #Kyle Sevenoaks, you are taking absolute positioned content out of the document flow.
As far as I can see, the only way to have the parent div wrap the absolute positioned contents, is to use javascript to set the width and height on each change.
When you position a div absolutely, you're effectively taking it out of the document flow, so the other elements will act as if it's not there.
To get around this, you can instead use margins:
.myDivparent
{
float: left;
background: #f00;
}
.myDivhascontent
{
margin-left: 10px; /*right, bottom, top, whichever you need*/
}
Hopefully that will do the trick :)
In my opinon, the "Absolute" trait is poorly named, because its position is actually relative to the first parent whos position is not static
<div class="floated">
<div style="position: relative;">
<div class="AbsoluteContent">
stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
I think the best option is to add an additional div after the float content, but still inside the parent to clear previous styles.
<div class="clear"></div>
And CSS:
.clear
{clear:both;}
I needed a similar solution to float a pullout quote (not an image) which would have variable length text inside. The pullout quote needed to be inserted into the HTML at the top (outside the flow of the text) and float down into the content with text that wraps around it. Modifying Leonard's answer above, there is a really simple way to do this!
See Codepen for Working Example: https://codepen.io/chadwickmeyer/pen/gqqqNE
CSS
/* This creates a space to insert the pullout content into the flow of the text that follows */
.pulloutContainer:before {
content: '' ;
display:block;
float: right;
/* The height is essentially a "margin-top" to push the pullout Container down page */
height: 200px;
}
.pulloutContainer q {
float:left;
clear:both;
/* This can be a set width or percent, if you want a pullout that floats left or right or full full width */
width: 30%;
/* Add padding as you see fit */
padding: 50px 20px;
}
HTML
<div id="container">
<div class="pulloutContainer">
<!-- Pullout Container Automatically Adjusts Size -->
<q>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</q>
</div>
<div class="content">
<h1>Sed Aucteor Neque</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nullam in dui mauris. Vivamus hendrerit arcu sed erat molestie vehicula. Sed auctor neque eu tellus rhoncus ut eleifend nibh porttitor. Ut in nulla enim. Phasellus molestie magna non est.</
...INSERT MORE TEXT HERE...
</div>
</div>
Absolute positioning does not let you wrap text. You have to use float and position using margin or padding.
Here's a trick that might work for some:
if you have a container packed with a lot of objects, and you want that positioned object to appear up high in certain cases, and down lower in other cases (various screen sizes for example), then just intersperse copies of the object multiple times in your html, either inline(-block), or with float, and then display:none the items you dont want to see according to the conditions you need.
Here is a JSFiddle to show exactly what I mean: JSFiddle of right positioning high and low
Note: I added color only for effect. Except for the class names, the subject-1 and subject-2 divs are otherwise exact copies of each other.
There is an easy fix to this problem. It's using white-space: nowrap;
<div style="position:relative">
<div style="position: absolute;top: 100%; left:0;">
<div style="white-space:nowrap; width: 100%;">
stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
For example I was making a dropdown menu for a navigation so the setup I was using is
<ul class="submenu" style="position:absolute; z-index:99;">
<li style="width:100%; display:block;">
Dropdown link here
</li>
<ul>

Also if you still can't figure it out check out the dropdowns on bootstrap templates which you can google. Then find out how they work because they are using position absolute and getting the text to take up 100% width without wrapping the text.
