I have a design consisting of three divs ( http://jsfiddle.net/herrturtur/Mem6u/ ), put next to each other by display: inline-block, but for some reason the last div appears in the middle of the page.
If possible, I'd like to display the three divs next to each other, with the height of the switch div adjusting automatically to the height of the div containing the select element.
What is the function of the switch? you may be able to work this with the float method and strategically placed "clear"..
if you have the option to use JQuery there is a handy tool called accordion (or accordian as there are a couple) that can perform the actions you want relatively easy.. have you already developed the code to perform the actual switch?
UPDATE:
I think is is similar to what you are looking to do .. let me know

I have a lot of divs with different size and width. I would like to automatically place them inside another div and position them like:
Anyone know what css properties should I use? I tried with floating + display (several combinations) and nothing works for me correctly - I had divs in one line -> a lot of space (because one big element) -> next line -> and so on... and so on...
Without using Flexbox you will find it hard to acheive this layout.
Flexbox layout example
You could use a JS plugin such as Masonry which will enable you to acheive the layout.
If I understand correctly, what you want to do is place them in a container that has a set size (and probably expanding height according to its content) and then line them up the way you show. The easiest way I can think of is using Twitter Bootstrap. It has a container class and then you can align your elements within divs and it will also make it automatically responsive.
Tip: Avoid using position: absolute and height: wherever you can because it messes with the flow of your site.
don't forget to clear your floating elements when needed.
I have some divs, and I want them to start filling the main div vertically, and then cause the main div to scroll horizontally.
Currently, I'm using float:left on child divs, but it does exactly the opposite: it starts filling the main div horizontally, and then the main div scrolls vertically.
The number of rows may differ based on screen size, so I can't create a table for this purpose.
table + some javascript hacks may allow me to do this, but I prefer a CSS (without any javascript) way. Because this code will run on mobile apps, and javascript will slow down the web app.
This is my current code, and here's the result of my current code. But I want something like this.
UPDATE: As #goliney suggested, seems that it can be done with css-columns. I created this example right now.
Now, there are these two problems:
While it's working good, it still needs some javascript to determinate number of visible columns (column-count) in the page. Although it's a minor javascript process, is there any way to do it in CSS, too?
Also, I prefer to show a little bit of fifth column, so user can know that this list is scrollable horizontally. But columns-count can't accept some float value (like 4.2), it only accepts integer values. So how can I do it?
As #goliney suggested, css3 columns can help.
I've created an example of using css3 columns in this issue, here.
However, it needs javascript to figure out count of columns, or since I'm targeting tablets, I can create some predefined classes using media queries.
Second, I needed some way to show a little bit of next column, so user can know that this list can be scrolled horizontally.
I've found that if I set a margin-left and then take it back into it's right place using translateX, it'll happen correctly.
So this is the final code for container div:
.main {
column-count: 4;
column-gap: 40px;
height:480px;
margin-left:80px;
transform: translateX(-80px);
}
(I removed prefixed properties here, but they're available in jsFiddle)
And this is the final result in jsFiddle.
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 am building a very simple page, powered by tumblr.
It has 3 columns of content in the main area. The content divs are all set to a width of 33% and floated left, most of the time this arranges itself as you would expect, but as you resize the window it seems to sometimes revert to 2 columns. Anyone know how to solve this?
The html is here: http://emilestest.tumblr.com
Try to set the .item css width to: 32%. The browser probably miscalculates width sometimes so you probably have a extra pixel or two, so the float overlaps to next line.
There is a Javascript action involved. Your article html elements gets the absolute position and some coordinates. Have a look over those scripts (or disable them, in order to use only CSS for positioning).
In your specific case, there are several solutions:
Place + size the divs with JavaScript and disable CSS layout
Use display: table
Use a table element
Disclaimer: For all those who cry out when they read table:
Using divisions to simulate a table for the display of tabular data is as much a design flaw as using tables to control graphic and page layout.

I use example 3 given in this page:
http://simple-navigation-demo.andischacke.com/
and I have a problem because when I open the main page (for example)
http://simple-navigation-demo.andischacke.com/
I get an empty div on the left instead of the content div filling the whole area.
On the other hand when I open a page from the menu (for example)
http://simple-navigation-demo.andischacke.com/books
Everything is just fine.
Can someone propose a solution? How can I completely remove the div in CSS if it does not contain anything?
There are lots of solutions; it depends on where you want your logic to be. A pure CSS solution might be tricky; it might be easier to do this sort of thing in JS.
That said, try changing #sub_navigation's width property to be a max-width instead. This way, it can still be set to float:left, but when there's no ul element inside it, it can collapse.
You might need to modify the width of your content div after that, but hopefully this gets you on the right track.
