I can't make two areas of content float beside each other without disrupting my container. I have the first area cued to float:left but when I cue float:right to content area 2 my container doesn't work anymore.
The object does float right but the container disappears.
Here is my website http://aasdsafasdf.weebly.com/ (I'm in the very early stages)
#container {
width: 1100px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #ffffff;
}
#content {
float: left;
height: auto;
width: 710px;
}
#content2 {
float: right;
height: auto;
width: 350px;
}
There are some markup errors on your page (notice the </script> tag after one of your links to a stylesheet?) but just set your container to hide overflow:
#container {
width: 1100px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #ffffff;
overflow:hidden
}
#content2 {
height: auto;
width: 350px;
float:right;
}
That should fix the issue. But make sure you fix up your code... it has a variety of issues now: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Faasdsafasdf.weebly.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
#container {
width: 1100px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #ffffff;
}
#content {
float: left;
height: auto;
width: 710px;
display: block;
}
#content2 {
float: left;
height: auto;
width: 350px;
display: block;
}
You want both content div's to float left and be display:block;, then they will push up against the one to its left.

I experienced a problem with placing divs. The divs "menu" and "content" are meant to be next to each other. They were, until i tried to set their width using % instead of px. After applying that change the effect of 'float: left;' was cancelled. I tried changing the order of parameters in css file, but it didn't work. I want them to maintain the 20/80 ratio, while still being next to each other. Can i achieve that using this method, or am i missing some information, and these can't be used on the same div?
#menu {
background-color: lightgray;
width: 20%;
min-height: 600px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
float: left;
}
#content {
background-color: gray;
width: 80%;
min-height: 600px;
padding: 10px;
float: left;
}
<div id="menu">
menu
</div>
<div id="content">
content
</div>
Seems like your padding is breaking the line because you are filling the 100% of the space.
See https://jsfiddle.net/6dfs27u8/1/
#menu{
float: left;
background-color: lightgray;
width: 20%;
text-align: center;
height: 600px;
}
#content
{
float: right;
background-color: gray;
width: 80%;
height: 600px;
}
<section id="main-content">
<div class="language-box html">HTML</div>
<div class="language-box javascript">JAVACRIPT</div>
<div class="language-box css">CSS</div>
<div class="language-box php">PHP</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</section>
I'm trying to make this 4 box's become centralized and side by side.
I'm using this code, but it's not working as i hope:
#main-content {
margin: 0 auto;
}
.language-box {
width: 279px;
height: 400px;
background-color: white;
float: left;
margin: 0 auto;
}

You could remove float, display items as inline-block and set text-align: center to the container.
#main-content {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
.language-box {
width: 80px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
height: 400px;
background-color: white;
/* float: left;
margin: 0 auto; */
display: inline-block;
}
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/9k2ae5vv/
You need to clear after float elements:
#main-content {overflow: hidden}
you must set width for your wrapper, and everything will be fine.
#main-content {
margin: 0 auto;
width: calc(4 * 279px);
}
look working example
I'm trying to get two divs to sit side by side. On my computer, in Safari and Firefox, it appears correctly. However, on my client's computer (also using Safari) they are overlapping.
Here is my CSS:
#content
{
clear: left;
float: left;
width: 715px;
padding:0;
margin: 41px 0 0 152px;
display: inline;
}
#aside
{
min-height: 850px;
float: right;
width: 280px;
padding: 50px 40px 0 40px;
margin: 0px 150px 0 65px;
display: inline;
position:absolute;
}
Is there something I missing or have coded wrong? I'm not a web developer but have been tasked with creating a fairly simple page.
Thanks in advance.
If you want something simple and straightforward (assuming #content and #aside are two sibling divs)...
<div id="content"></div><div id="aside"></div>
#content, #aside {
float: left;
}
#content {
background: red;
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
}
#aside {
background: orange;
width: 280px;
height: 150px;
}
Here's a Fiddle to demonstrate
Note: this is a simple solution that might not be the best for what you need. I suggest doing some research on CSS display and position properties.
Hey just change the display property to display: inline-block. You dont need to float any div if you want the div to sit side by side.
#content
{
width: 715px;
padding:0;
margin: 41px 0 0 152px;
display: inline-block;
}
#aside
{
min-height: 850px;
width: 280px;
padding: 50px 40px 0 40px;
margin: 0px 150px 0 65px;
display: inline-block;
position:absolute;
}
display: inline
It will not regard the width or height of any div. When we set display: inline, it will work as if its a "span" which does not regard width or height.
display: inline-block
It will regard the width or height of any div. When we set display: inline-block, it will be inline and it will regard the width and height of div.
For some reason, the bottom section of my layout doesn't seem to be centered when I have set the left and right margin to auto
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/kvtcp
Please see the example.
I have since changed the code with some example you have provide but I have another issue. The bottom div has pushed up to left and right section div?
I have used margin-top 20px and nothing happens
Regards
Just remove:
float:left
from the .bottomsection class
and add
clear:both;
instead...
This is occuring because you have the div set to float left and the screen is the left edge.
Your divs above have margin left to pad them in.
I would suggest center your container.
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/sHvCA
body{
background:#90F;
}
#container {
width: 1000px;
height: 1200px;
padding-top: 25px;
overflow: auto;
margin:0 auto;
}
.header {
width: 800px;
height: 100px;
}
.leftimage {
float: left;
}
.middle {
height: 200px;
background:#FFF;
width: 800px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
.leftsection {
width: 300px;
background-color: #FFF;
height: 400px;
margin-top: 10px;
float: left;
margin-left: 100px;
}
.rightsection {
background-color: #0F0;
height: 400px;
width: 479px;
float: left;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.bottomsection {
clear:both;
height: 200px;
background: #FFF;
width: 800px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
</style>
That is because you have float:left; on it. Remove that, and add clear:both; instead.
I would recommend wrapping the left and right floated divs in another div, and apply overflow:hidden on the outer div for better control.
Ok,
remove the float from your bottom div.
.bottomsection {
height: 200px;
background: #FFF;
width: 800px;
/*float: left;*/
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
And in your HTML you have to clear the floats with i.e
<div class="leftsection"></div>
<div class="rightsection"></div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div class="bottomsection"></div>
This is a quick and dirty solution.
Here is a good link i.e. about floating div´s
http://css-tricks.com/all-about-floats/
It is floating for no reason and this causes showing up on the left side. Remove that. This time it should be fine, but you won't be able to see it because it has nothing in it. Add overflow:hidden; to avoid this. Then you might want to give some margin as well. And please keep in mind, use floats wise, not every problem requires float.
Have a class for the page, a container class for rows of div-boxes, and box class to style all of the boxes..
The rows of div-boxes need to be centered on the page..
What combination of width + display + margin is required (cross-browser)?
The boxes are floating-left, which seems to be the origin of the question..
Current CSS:
.page {
width: 100%;
}
.container {
width: 100%;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.box {
float: left;
margin: %;
}
You'd want to use display:inline-block in your boxes, effectively treating them like text and then set text-align:center in your container
.container {
width: 100%;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
.box {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: grey;
}
Demo fiddle
I made a jsFiddle. Its fixed width. my question is how many .box elements will there be?
if its dynamic then use some javascript to work out the widths of '.box'
http://jsfiddle.net/james_nicholson/4P9s8/10/
.page {
width: 100%;
border:1px solid black;
height:auto;
}
.container {
width: 440px;
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
background:blue;
min-height:500px;
}
.box {
float: left;
width: 100px;
background: red;
margin: 5px;
display: block;
height: 100px;
}
