I'm currently working on a UI that requires that I have a table with cells whose text is read vertically instead of horizontally. To do this, I am using CSS rotate transforms.
The problem I am running into is that the content is being measured before the render transform is taking place. This is causing my table to render incorrectly, giving wide columns instead of narrow ones.
Is there any way to fix this behavior with either css or javascript?

I don't know if it will work in your case since it uses float:left to make the cells behave as divs but it's a start.
Not the best solution, but here's what I came up with: http://jsfiddle.net/gJCtN/2/
Also, vertical-align is not supported by elements without display:table-cell or something like it. More info.

At some viewport I want to be able to swap some of the divs as shown by the figure below.
I don't want to use workaround such as replicating the same divs here and there and then using display:none to hide them, so please don't suggest this solution unless you think it's the only way to achieve so.
How would you solve this problem using Flexbox? What would the box model be like?
What I've tried so far:
playing with order CSS selector. But it works only if all the divs are in the same container (doesn't seem to work with this problem).
A1 and A2 are visually a single item, as suggested by its colour, but I guess I might need to split it in 2
PS: please note that the problem is NOT how to build any of these layouts themselves neither how to use media queries.
I am pretty new to HTML and CSS.
I need to create a drop down box (using select2) followed by a button.
Both should be on one line (no line break in between them).
Both are contained within a div element.
Upon resizing the screen, I want the select2 to be stretched up and consume\release the additional space, while the button remains fixed in size and in its location (right after the select2, not breaking to the next line). I need the select2 to have min-width and max-width values he can 'leave' in between.
I have googled and searched here, found many answers directing me to use white-space:nowrap, and display: inline-block but I keep failing to achieve my needs.
Here is a fiddle containing my attempts:
Any help?
Have updated your fiddle. jsfiddle.net/TNabn/6/
Let me know if this is appropriate as question is phrased slightly confusingly
Thanks
I'm going to create a horizontal grid layout with CSS. (And I'll make it to scroll horizontally by JQuery and this solution. Please note that scrolling is not my problem. my problem is about creating the grid)
This is an example:
I have searched the internet about CSS Grids, but it seems that they can't help me...
My Question is, how to create something like the image above? Which plugins, or css properties should I use for this purpose?
EDIT: I want to have fixed number of rows (I mean, the number of rows should not change when I resize the page. there should be an scrollbar instead.) (I will use it inside a div with overflow: auto)
display:table, display:table-row, display:table-cell, display:inline-block
These css properties can help, just look them up on your local css information site.
The table-values let every element behave like a table, without actually using one. This may be a good solution for your problem.
The inline-block-value solves the overhang problem some floating layouts have as the blocks are displayed inline, just like imgs. There is little support for this in old browsers, of course.
Maybe this has already been answered and I am searching incorrectly, but here is my problem. I have an MVC project where the view needs to look like a table. So, I am using a div with spans inside of it. My problem is that I need the data inside to be vertically centered. When I set my display to inline-block I cannot vertically align because some of the data may wrap and become two lines. So, this throws out using line-height. Then I tried to make my span display values to be table-cell. This works and I can use vertical-align:middle, however then I am unable to set a fixed width. And, I need this to look like a table, so the fixed width is required or else it looks horrible.
Here are my attempts thus far, and I know the css needs cleaned up, but I would rather fix this first atm.
http://jsfiddle.net/Scorpionb/ukMfX/ (The scrollbars cause the entire row to misalign)
http://jsfiddle.net/Scorpionb/QzFc3/(white-space:normal; and removed overflow to get rid of the scrollbars)
http://jsfiddle.net/Scorpionb/H6ATy/ (trying to treat it as a table)
Hopefully this makes sense, but I have run around so many circles now that I am losing track of what works and what does not. So, ask if you have any questions.
Also, this is an ASP MVC project, so I am tying each row of data to a form to be submitted and bound to a model
You should really be using tables for tabular content.
You might also benefit cleaning up your CSS by using shorthand CSS. Some useful ones to get you started:
font
border-width
Right, worst question in the history of web design. Who cares, just choose an option. So my question is like this...
What is the best answer to be standards compliant and (backwards) browser compatible?
jQuery used for layout which is supposed to be reserved for css and html
OR
Negative margin, extra containers , or other hacks or bloat?
Already spent too much time on this but looking for the "professional" way to do it.
EDIT: Here is a code example using Alexander's method.
Usually I use pure css/html solution which works in 99% cases:
I have a parent div with background-repeat on 'Y' axe. The general structure is going to be like this :
html:
<div id="container" class="clearfix">
<div class="LeftPane"></div>
<div class="CenterPane"></div>
<div class="RightPane"></div>
</div>
css:
#container{
background:url(imagePath) 0% repeat y;
}
for background image you can apply image for the borders, or everything else what can make users to think that all 3 blocks have the same height
There are many ways of successfully doing that, I think the easiest one of them is to simply wrap them all in a common parent container, set his display to table or table-row No need for parent at all. and set the original <div>s to display: table-cell;
jsFiddle.
For compatibility I'd suggest jQuery. Hacks and extra containers make your code bloated, as you've said, and will end up making it more difficult to edit if changes need to be made. And anyways, HTML is the layout of the page.
I have come up with a revolutionary new method for equal height columns. It is a pure CSS/HTML solution, tested in the latest Chrome and Firefox, and IE7-9. It is a bit tricky to set up but once it is done it works beautifully. The problem with every previous solution I have seen is that it doesn't actually create individual, side-by-side divs that can have their own borders, margins, etc. Other solutions always have some columns overlapping which means you can only contrast the different columns by changing the background. This method allows any column to be any height unlike some methods. The secret to its success is using float: right instead of left. If it was floated left you would have issues with extra space on the right causing scroll bars. Perhaps the only down side with this method is that it can be hard to wrap your head around!
