I'm trying to put two box in a bigger box. I got it next to each other and it works fine now if I expand the second box width to larger then the width of the window.
Example your screen is 1024x720 the width of the second box is 1800px the second box repositions underneath the first box. I'm just curious why it does that and not put a scroll bar and keep the position of the objects.
Am I positioning it wrong, or am I thinking about this in a wrong manner. I'm almost to tempted to try this with a table as a layout but that seems so counter intuitive to me.
That's the essence of floating DOM elements. They don't force anything. If you want them to stay side by side, you need to give the container a width to support the contents (> 1904px).
I'm just curious why it does that and not put a scroll bar and keep
the position of the objects.
You can set .parent to overflow: scroll; to force this.

Here is a simple block of code:
<style type="text/css">
.parent {
position: relative;
width: 75vw;
height: 300px;
border: 5px solid #000;
}
.child {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color: #999;
}
</style>
<center>
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
</center>
But, the results are different when viewed in different screen widths.
Here, the child div completely fits the parent div at a certain screen width.
But here, when at a different screen width, a white space of about 1px appears on both the sides of the child div.
How can I get rid of this white space and make sure that the child div completely fits the parent div?
The issue lies with the border you've used and the way browsers handle this. Setting the box-sizing to border-box solves this issue. It's a common one but once you know it you'll be able to better spot it.
.parent {
position: relative;
width: 75vw;
height: 300px;
border: 5px solid #000;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.child {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color: #999;
margin: 0;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
Also, you don't need to define text/css in your tags these days, browsers know what the code is. Also try not to use it inline unless it was just for this question. Similarly, the <center> tag has been depreciated which means it's no longer supported in HTML 5 so you should center things using margin or flex. Margin is the easiest so that's why I've added that here.
Sometimes browsers will treat things differently in quirks mode too, so make sure you have a doctype declaration.
This is because you are using Chrome browser.
I have the same behavior with the very simple code:
<div class="container">
<div class="item-a">item A</div>
</div>
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
.container {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
border: 5px solid black;
background-color: cornflowerblue;
}
.item-a {
width: 300px;
height: 140px;
background-color: orange;
border: 3px solid crimson;
}
At 100% zoom it has a gap. When I zoom, the gap disappears, but when I zoom again - the gap between container and item-a may or may not show up again (you can notice cornflower background of 1px between a parent and child borders).
This is how Google Chrome handles things in both Linux and Windows 11 at the moment.
Then I gave a shot to view the same code via Firefox and there is no gap regardless of zooming.
Contrary to the many answers suggesting to set box-sizing: border-box, I used content-box instead and it fixed my issue: box-sizing: content-box
Try set child with the same width: 75vw;
.parent {
position: relative;
width: 75vw;
height: 300px;
border: 5px solid #000;
}
.child {
width: 75vw;
height: 100px;
background-color: #999;
}
<center>
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
</center>
I have a 3 column layout which I'm creating using inline-block divs. The left and right columns are fixed widths but the inner column is to hold dynamic content and should expand horizontally as required by it's content width.
That's easy enough... the tricky part is that when the browser window is smaller (horizontally) than the width of the left, right and expanded middle divs, I would like the middle div to scroll and the side columns to stay fixed. In other words, the middle div's size should shrink and grow with window resize but should not grow beyond the available space.
Simply laying out the divs looks like this
https://jsfiddle.net/xzjp5xef/1/
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="lcol">
left
</div>
<div id="midcol">
<div id="spacer">
150px spacer
</div>
</div>
<div id="rightcol">
right
</div>
</div>
CSS:
div {
height:200px;
border-style:solid;
display: inline-block;
border-width: 1px;
vertical-align: top;
}
#container{
white-space: nowrap;
}
#lcol {
background-color:blue;
width: 100px;
}
#midcol {
background-color: yellow;
overflow-x: auto;
}
#spacer {
min-width: 150px;
margin: 10px;
height: 20px;
}
#rightcol {
background-color: red;
width:100px;
}
The point of the "spacer" div is to represent the dynamic content which in this case I've fixed to 150px plus padding. So in this case I want the divs to lay out the way they do in the above fiddle, but then when the window is shrunk horizontally, I want the middle div to scroll and the left and right divs to remain fully visible.
That fails because then the window gets a scroll bar but the middle panel remains the same width and the right hand div disappears into the scrolled region.
My next attempt was using absolute positioning
https://jsfiddle.net/n4zrLqh2/
I fixed the left div to the left and the right div to the right and set the middle div's right and left properties. This is a neat trick which allows the middle div to stretch and take up all available space. This works nicely but doesn't create the effect I'm after when the window is big - because I don't want the middle column to expand further than is necessary to contain its content.
In the end I've solved this with javascript but would much prefer a CSS solution.
Edit: To help others see what I'm trying to achieve, here's the complete javascript solution (which I'd prefer to achieve with pure CSS):
HTML:
<div id="lcol">left</div>
<div id="midcol">
<div id="spacer">150px spacer</div>
</div>
<div id="rightcol">right</div>
CSS:
div {
height:200px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
margin: 0px;
float:left;
}
body {
white-space: nowrap;
margin:0px;
max-height: 200px;
}
#lcol {
background-color:blue;
width: 100px;
}
#midcol {
background-color: yellow;
overflow-x: auto;
}
#spacer {
min-width: 150px;
height: 20px;
background-color: gray;
margin: 5px;
}
#rightcol {
background-color: red;
width:100px;
}
JAVASCRIPT (with jquery)
function adjustSizes() {
// Sizes of middle divs are dynamic. Adjust once
// built or whenever the viewport resizes
//
var $leftDiv = $('#lcol')
var $milddleDiv = $('#midcol');
var $rightDiv = $('#rightcol');
// 1. Resize middle div to available viewport space
var maxBodyWidth = $(window).innerWidth() - ($leftDiv.outerWidth() + $rightDiv.outerWidth());
$milddleDiv.css('maxWidth', maxBodyWidth);
}
$(window).resize(function () {
adjustSizes();
});
And the fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/bjmekkgj/2/
I think setting max-width of spacer will solve your problem in case content increases.
Set max-width to calc(100vw - 200px) if all margin and padding are 0. Otherwise adjust the value 200px taking margin, padding into account.
I have created a plunker. Please check if it solves your issue. Try checking after running plunker in spearate window

For the one example you provided, since the left and right columns are positioned absolutely, you should take up the space somehow. I used padding on the middle column, then nested a "content" block inside that represents the visible part of the middle column. Then, I put overflow-x: auto; on the new content block and set a max-width on the overall container to force the new block to shrink.
(In previous edits, I was attempting to do this same thing but with floats instead of absolutely positioned divs)
* { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; }
#container {
box-sizing: border-box;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
max-width: 100%;
border: 1px solid black;
height: 200px;
}
.column {
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
}
#left {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100px;
border-right: 1px solid black;
background: blue;
}
#mid {
border: none;
padding: 0px 100px;
}
#mid > .content {
box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: yellow;
overflow-x: auto;
height: 100%;
}
#spacer {
width: 150px;
height: 20px;
}
#right {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100px;
border-left: 1px solid black;
background: red;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="left" class="column">
left
</div>
<div id="mid" class="column">
<div class="content">
<div id="spacer">
150px spacer
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="right" class="column">
right
</div>
</div>
...and in JSFiddle form
flexbox can do that.
div {
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
}
#container {
height: 200px;
display: flex;
}
#lcol {
background-color: blue;
width: 100px;
}
#midcol {
background-color: yellow;
flex: 1;
overflow-x: auto;
}
#rightcol {
background-color: red;
width: 100px;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="lcol">
left
</div>
<div id="midcol">
</div>
<div id="rightcol">
right
</div>
</div>
JSfiddle Demo (showing overflow effect).
Support is IE10 and up.
Try setting the middle div to have a max width with a percentage so it will get thinner with the screen size:
.midcol {
max-width: 25%;
}
I put a value for the max-width in there for an example, but you can change the value.
What I am looking to achieve is all the three below
pushing the footer to the bottom of the page
also making the main div stay full sized all the time with the child divs
all the child div's remain same height
I tried so many ways to do it and I found a way. But what ever I have done is not compatible with Firefox, Safari and IE7 and below, Please help me, I am looking for something that works on all browsers and Pure CSS.
Thanks a lot friends.

Change height of the left and right side div should be same...ex:200px.
and use fixed bottom property for footer.
I am trying to get a centered in the space that is left empty by a sidebar. This is how I'd like it to look like:
I actually managed to make this work OK for most browsers using margin: auto for the div in question, while setting overflow: hidden:
Fiddle here
CSS
#header {
height: 50px;
background: #224444;
color: #fff;
}
#container div {
padding: 1em;
}
#content {
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
background: #ddd;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
width: 200px;
background: #aaa;
height: 300px;
}
HTML
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
PAGE HEADER
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
Sidebar
</div>
<div id="content">
Centered Content
(Works everywhere but on IE9)
</div>
</div>
However, it does not work with IE9. It is strange as IE8 works OK!
I am running out of ideas, so I thought that maybe someone knows what is going on? The trick seems to work perfectly everywhere else.
NOTE: Please note that the content div should be flexible as it is in the demo. As the available space decreases, it should change size and squeeze in.
Isolate the centering from the floating
This affects IE9/10.
It works fine if the floated element is removed, or if width is used instead of max-width. The presence of floated content, combined with the use of margin:auto and max-width instead of width, appears to be confusing IE9+.
To fix this, put the centered content in a wrapper div, so that the centering of the content can be separated from the floating of the sidebar. In other words, too much is happening layout-wise in a single div, more than IE9+ can handle. So split up the #content div into two separate divs.
#header {
height: 50px;
padding: 1em;
background: #224444;
color: #fff;
}
#content-wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
#content {
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
padding: 1em;
background: #ddd;
height: 300px;
}
#sidebar {
float: right;
width: 200px;
padding: 1em;
background: #aaa;
height: 300px;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
PAGE HEADER
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
Sidebar
</div>
<div id="content-wrapper">
<div id="content">
Centered Content
</div>
</div>
</div>
This tested fine in IE7/8/9/10. On a side note, because a wrapper div was added, the padding: 1em; now has to be added to each element individually.
IE is notorious for not working without proper doctypes.
Try adding the HTML5 one
<!DOCTYPE html>
Floats are a tricky business. Strictly speaking, they're only supposed to affect the inline content that flows around them, so margins acts like the floats aren't even there.
Try this instead:
#container {text-align:center}
#content {display:inline-block;text-align:left}
This should make the content box act like an inline element, and therefore appear centered in the space.
As far as I remeber I've always problems with margin:0 auto because I didn't specify width property.
So everytime you want use margin:auto you propably should write this:
#content {
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
background: #ddd;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
width:500px;
}
or in percentage:
#content {
max-width: 400px;
margin: auto;
background: #ddd;
height: 300px;
overflow: hidden;
width:30%;
}
EDIT
If you want to create flexible layout please take a look to bootstrap and fluid grids.
I have a item (e.g. a div tag, which takes 1/3 of the screen-width and has a minimum width of 500px and a maximum width of 700px. Beside it, there is another item which takes the rest of the screen. If I just assign a width of 66% it works fine as long as the height of the other item does not take one of the max values, at which point an overflow happens or the item just lets space out.
Any ideas who this is done by html without building an overly complex javaScript script?
best Regards,
Stefan
Edit Code:
This sould provide a simple example, As long as the site is under 500px, both are 50% of the screen, but if it gets larger, the right side (marked with world) should fill out more than 50%.
