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

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.
First off, i'm not really a good coder. I'm an IT but more of an infra guy but i do understand concepts about coding and maybe a bit of a good grasp about it. I am working with my website and it's under construction using wordpress. In my homepage, i plan to do it simple as it is and decided to use the page builder and use text or HTML (or any language) to maximize it. I hope some one can help me. I would really appreciate it.
Here it is:

Those images have onmouseover style and was able to do it.. the thing is i can't arrange it horizontally. :( and unable include arrow so they can move left or right to see each images :(.
I know i can also do the same on the icon part the moment someone help me about the concept i wanted.
Your question is pretty ambiguous as to the specific context of the solution.
However, in general the reason why things don't align horizontally when rendered on screen in a browser, is that most elements (including the popular <div>) have a default styling of display: block; which makes it take up the full width of its parent item if the parent itself has the same styling (cascading of this is a different discussion).
The general solution to this is to define the widths of the elements. And they will be placed on the same line to the extent that the widths of the elements allow for more than one to appear on the same line.
One way to solve this is to have elements widths defined in some way. This could be by applying a class with a width: 25%; for example. This would allow for 4 elements with the same width to fit on the line.
Alternately you can also set the display property value of the elements you want on the same line to inline-block. This will make those elements take the width of it's content (unless the content has no width specified). This will cause the elements to flow along the horizontal line like text would (it will re-flow on the resizing of it's parent element), until there are no more contiguous items containing the inline-block display property.
Since your description also showed carousel style navigation for these rows of items, it may be that these are not the full solutions you are looking for.
If you are using the Bootstrap framework, there is a built-in carousel feature which you could use to contain these horizontally aligned elements on separate "pages" of the carousel. Making this solution fully responsive is another challenge altogether.
So I have a post-view that I can't get to work properly, and flexbox seemed like the answer from heaven that I was looking for. Except, I can't seem to figure it out properly no matter what...
If you look at this code, there's two vertical divs that should both stretch as more content gets added to either. The div where more content appears grows accordingly, but I want the other div to match in length, and so the bottom edges to be aligned to the bottom of the flex box. The repeating images behind the two founder buttons and the "LOTS OF TEXT" should then fill up empty space down to the bottom where the bottom-edge images are.
I've been at this for a good week now and can't figure it out... I'm sorry if this is a really simple thing or I'm being dense about css, I'm still learning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In your .forumviewright class, add this property:
height: 100px;
That brings the baselines together.
Just tested it in Chrome Dev Tools. It works. It also works in FIDDLE. But it doesn't seem to work in the CSSDesk sample you provided.
Whether or not this is the permanent solution you're looking for, you can let me know in the comments below.
EDIT
Your question begins with:
Can't get CSS flexbox to expand properly.
Actually, the flexbox is working fine. Both columns are binded to each other and expand equally, as per the flexbox rules.
If you highlight the child divs (.forumviewleft and .forumviewright) in Chrome Dev Tools or Firefox Inspector, you'll see that both columns are equal height and track each other regardless of content size on either side.
To illustrate this, I've added a background color to each column div so you can see that the flex is working properly. No other changes to the code were made. In this example, no matter how much content is placed in either column, both color-coded columns remain equal height.

Of course, the real problem is that the child container boxes inside these columns aren't tracking each other.
This will require some fundamental adjustments to your code. For a better understanding of this problem and how to fix it, see this post:
Height 100% on flexbox column child
Hope this helps. Good luck!
I'm trying to make a CSS table that (for layout purposes) has a caption at the top and bottom.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, display: table-caption merges everything into a single space at the top. This means that only the "header" caption is actually displayed.
I've tried treating them as rows instead, but for some reason, their widths bind to that of the first table column. (Am I doing something wrong here?) The same happens if I make them regular divs with their widths set to 100%.
Is there another, perhaps more elegant way to have multiple table captions? Have I made some stupid error in my attempts that's screwing up the layout?
Since you're using CSS for layout (this is not tabular data) then there's no reason to use display:table-caption for the footer. Just make a regular div whose width is set to the same as the table (or fills a container that shrink-wraps the table).
Edit: Here's an updated example: http://jsfiddle.net/fCTpR/1/
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?
JSFiddle
Check this out: http://jsfiddle.net/c29rr/
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.
