Float right without clearing previous float(s) - html

I know the obvious solution is to wrap banner and main in a float container, but is there any other way to 'bump' sidebar to the top, given the constraints of the HTML below?

#sidebar {

float: right;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid green;
}
</style>

Make a div span two rows in a grid

How it looks
I couldn't get box8 to show up on the right side I tried float right it messes it up. Also the boxes inside box3 are all inconsistent. If I full screen the boxes go right side. I used percentages for responsiveness but it didn't work. Anyone know how to do this ?
This can be achieved with flexbox - but note that you will need to use wrapper divs and apply different flex-directions to each in order to make the grid layout work.
body, html {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.box-wrapper {
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
#box1 {
padding:10px;
height:30px;
line-height:30px;
border: solid 1px red
}
#box2 {
height: 15px;
padding: 8px;
border: solid 1px blue
}
#box3 {
padding: 10px;
flex-grow:1;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
border: solid 1px green
}
#box4 {
flex-grow:2;
border: solid 1px orange
}
.middle-column {
flex-grow:1;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.middle-column div{
flex-grow:1;
margin: 0 8px;
border: solid 1px #6e6e6e;
}
.middle-column div + div {
margin-top: 8px
}
#box8 {
flex-grow:1;
border: solid 1px black
}
<div class="box-wrapper">
<div id="box1">1</div>
<div id="box2">2</div>
<div id="box3">
<div id="box4">4</div>
<div class="middle-column">

css how to stretch center div to fill allowable area

I have a three column layout. My center div is my main content area. I would like that when my content is not wide this div stretches to fill the available space horizontally and while not critical it would be nice to have it stretch vertically also. I used an online layout generator to create this style. See the attached image
Any help would be apreciated.

you can use flex layout to solve it, here you can find an example .

Floating/Clearing Divs, Responsive Design

I have a problem with 5 floating divs, here is a picture:
You will see.. the green div should be on the left side from the red div(instead of the empty place) and the violet div on the place from the green div.
The html order from the divs is: blue, red, orange, green and violet, I think this is the reason for this white, empty space, because the green and the violet div comes in the html after! the red div, is this right?
What can i do, to fix this problem, anyone have an idea? I set the margin-top of the violet to -300px but I think this not a clean solution and than would be the order(html structure) false.
Here is my full html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>ResponsiveExample</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

}
body
{
margin: 0;

clear: right;
}
.violet-box{
width: 33%;
//margin-top: -300px;
border: 5px solid black;
float: left;
}
}
}
I would be very grateful for every help that I get!
Try this:
<div class="main-content">
<div id="left">
<div class="blue-box"></div>
<div class="green-box"></div>
</div>
<div id="center">
<div class="red-box"></div>
</div>
<div id="right">
<div class="orange-box"></div>
<div class="purple-box"></div>
</div>
</div>
Then apply CSS styles to your liking.

Building a 3 column div?

I'm trying to build a 3 column div and center all of them inside a wrapper but the div.left and div.right wont stay at the top when the div.middle has text in & when i replace display: inline-block to float: left they stop centering, what could i do so they all center and stay at the top?
example
the html:
<div class="left">
</div>
<div class="middle">
example <p>
example <p>
example <p>
example <p>
example <p>
example <p>
example <p>
</div>
<div class="right">
</div>
</div>
</body>
the css:
.wrapper {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
img {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;}
div.left, div.right {
margin: 3px;
border: 1px solid #0000ff;
display: inline-block;
width: 18%;
padding: 1px;
background: red;
}
div.middle {
margin: 3px;
border: 1px solid #0000ff;
display: inline-block;
width: 60%;
padding: 1px;
background: red;
}
Try using vertical-align
Working Example
div.left, div.right {
margin: 3px;
border: 1px solid #0000ff;
display: inline-block;
width: 18%;
padding: 1px;
background: red;
vertical-align: top; /* see here */
}
MDN documentation for vertical-align
Just do vertical-align: top; on the left/right like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/RJR2V/2/
But if you want them to be even in heights than I suggest display: table-cell;
Like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/RJR2V/1/
under .wrapper all div should be vertical-aligned to top
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
<style>

text-align: center;

}
div.left, div.right {
margin: 3px;
border: 1px solid #0000ff;
display: inline-block;

padding: 1px;
background: red;
}
div.middle {

border: 1px solid #0000ff;
display: inline-block;

HTML CSS fragment positioning

I need the #infoBar div and the #actualCover div to sit to the right of (next to) the #covers div, but for some reason, the covers div is acting like it's not even there and floats on top of the other divs.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
*
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#chooserContainer
{
border: solid 1px orange;
}
#coverArea
{
border: solid 1px red;
width: 760px;
}
#covers
{
width: 150px;
float: left;
height: 600px;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
border: solid 2px #BFDEFF;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #F0F7FF;
margin-right: 30px;
}
#infoBar
{
height: 30px;
border: solid 1px green;
width: 600px;
}
#actualCover
{
width: 794px;
height: 1123px;
background-position: top left;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="chooserContainer">
<div id="covers">
</div>
<div id="infoBar">
</div>
<div id="coverArea">
<div id="actualCover">
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here you go.
As a good practice, get your layout correct first before you set padding and margins.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
*
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#chooserContainer
{
background: #ccc;
width: 911px;
}
#covers
{
width: 150px;
float: left;
height: 600px;
overflow-y: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
background-color: #0ff;
}
#infoBar
{
height: 30px;
width: 600px;
float: right;
background: yellow;
}
#coverArea
{
width: 760px;
float: right;
background: #f60;
}
#actualCover
{
width: 794px;
height: 600px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="chooserContainer">
<div id="covers">Coveres
</div>
<div id="infoBar">InfoBar
</div>
<div id="coverArea">CoverArea
<div id="actualCover">ActualCover
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
In this case, it sounds like you want #infoBar and #coverArea to float to the right of #covers instead of #covers floating to the left of the other two.
Try taking the float off of #covers and adding float: right; to #infoBar and #coverArea
