I have this:
http://jsfiddle.net/UHrLH/1/
I set the height on the box element to auto, but min-height is 200px;
Now if i try to make more content in the first box, the height expands but it creates a big white space under it. I do not want that, i want to have the box under eachother like you can see above, where the height on all boxes is 200px
See the issue here:

This will give you boxes inline but unfortunately the pairs will not extend to match the height of it's partner. To do this you will need to use tables or a javscript overwrite to capture the height. Also, bear in mind display: inline-block will not work on divs in IE7 and below, it would work on a span though: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html#t03

I have added an additional div if that is ok for you...
<div class="box_Container">

I have a div, .instagram_grid which has margin-left and margin-right set to auto, is relatively positioned, and has a width which for browse sizes 900px >makes the div be centered nicely in the page.
when I have the simple structure in the context of the rest of the CSS for a single page, the no longer becomes centered at browser width >1684px. In the Fiddle that follows I only have two lines that modify the div as a whole (and one just sets the background to pink). There are no media queries present, which suggests that it is the effect of some unseen preceding div/element causing the behavior.
https://jsfiddle.net/ebbnormal/m561tpnL/6/
The behaviour is what is expected with that markup.
The element is centered, but then you use relative positioning to show it 500px to the right of where it actually would be.
The .calc-text div above the .instagram_grid div causes its parent to overflow by setting margin-left:auto while simultaneously setting left: to a negative value, which isn't valid CSS.
I positioned two div elements side-by-side by using float= left;
But buttons are getting displayed beside the div elements.
I want the button elements right below the two div elements which were placed side- by-side.
When you use float:left property then the div's height and width are set by either of the following
amount of space it's content html elements require
applied css height and width.
hence say if your screen if too big and space is left out on the sides then the next element (if it can be fitted in that space) is rendered (if it requires more then it would appear on the next line).
hence now regarding your problem there are two possible solution's
Increase the widths of your div so that it takes most of the screen width.(mostly never used as it might look ugly on big screens)
but if u want to go by this approach the setting the width's in percent can do the job.
Fiddle demo
use the clear:both property of css (mostly used)
for it's explanation you have to read it's documentation
i would suggest you go by this approach
Fiddle demo
I have this and it got an HTML img#logo-image, on some occasions it will not be displayed, display:none.
The problem is that the entire div#menu-title should fit the width of the page.
I tried putting width:100%, but when the img#logo-imag" is displayed it breaks the line being below the img#logo-image.
The width:100% does not work with elements float:left
Just unfloat the menu-title div and remove the width.. it will automatically be 100% of the header then.. and if the image is present it will adjust the ul#menu list to make room for it, which is a natural behaviour
if you want the menu-list to really only take the available width (say for a background color or something then you can add overflow: hidden; to ul#menu - though I don't see a need for that in your example code
here's a simplified version of your Fiddle - hover on the header to make the image disappear and see the ul#menu adjust to suit
Example Fiddle
You have both logo-image and menu-title floating left. Since they arent really in separate divs, they are all part of the same div, they appear next to each other. On top of that, you set the menu-title to be 760, which isn't the width of the page. At least that what it looks like you did. Do not use width 100% because resizing the page will shrink that menu title.
You really just have to play around with the divs, but i would say that separating those two divs would make you be able to stack them on top or below each other.
And in using Chrome's inspect element feature, I don't see a display:none for the image's css. I don't know why that would do that.
I'm really not sure of what you are trying to accomplish since making the div#menu-title width: 100% doesn't leave any room for anything else on the same row.
Why not let them both be inline and let the widths be whatever they need to be?
Anyway, I have a guess at what you want. You want those two elements to behave as being in a table, inside a table row, and each in a table-cell so that the image takes a maximum width, and the div#menu-title taking all of the rest of the place. In that case put them in a table, or use display: table-cell for the image and the div and fiddle around with that.
I'm trying to make a box with rounded corners where the height and width of the div depends on the content, so it's automatically adjust to it...
You can see the example here: http://pastehtml.com/view/1duizyf.html
The problem is that i can't get the "test_mid_left" (black background) and "test_mid_right" (turquoise background) to inherit the height from the "test_mid_center" (green background). I have tried height: 100% and auto, but none of thoose work. So how do I get them to inherit the height from the content?
(The reason why I have used "min-height: xx" in the left and right content on the example is just to show which boxes I am talking about)
As already mentioned this can't be done with floats, they can't inherit heights, they're unaware of their siblings so for example the side two floats don't know the height of the centre content, so they can't inherit from anything.
Usually inherited height has to come from either an element which has an explicit height or if height: 100%; has been passed down through the display tree to it.. The only thing I'm aware of that passes on height which hasn't come from top of the "tree" is an absolutely positioned element - so you could for example absolutely position all the top right bottom left sides and corners (you know the height and width of the corners anyway) And as you seem to know the widths (of left/right borders) and heights of top/bottom) borders, and the widths of the top/bottom centers, are easy at 100% - the only thing that needs calculating is the height of the right/left sides if the content grows -
This you can do, even without using all four positioning co-ordinates which IE6 /7 doesn't support
I've put up an example based on what you gave, it does rely on a fixed width (your frame), but I think it could work with a flexible width too? the uses of this could be cool for those fancy image borders we can't get support for until multiple background images or image borders become fully available.. who knows, I was playing, so just sticking it out there!
proof of concept example is here
The Problem
When an element is floated, its parent no longer contains it because the float is removed from the flow. The floated element is out of the natural flow, so all block elements will render as if the floated element is not even there, so a parent container will not fully expand to hold the floated child element.
Take a look at the following article to get a better idea of how the CSS Float property works:
The Mystery Of The CSS Float Property
A Potential Solution
Now, I think the following article resembles what you're trying to do. Take a look at it and see if you can solve your problem.
Equal Height Columns with Cross-Browser CSS
I hope this helps.
The negative margin trick:
http://pastehtml.com/view/1dujbt3.html
Not elegant, I suppose, but it works in some cases.
You need to take out a float: left; property... because when you use float the parent div do not grub the height of it's children... If you want the parent dive to get the children height you need to give to the parent div a css property overflow:hidden;
But to solve your problem you can use display: table-cell; instead of float... it will automatically scale the div height to its parent height...
Most of the times, the Previous parent has a heigt manually set, so you can use that value as reference, no other dirty tricks will be needed, and if the number is not the same for any reason maybe a comment can be added with the original number so in case you need to change it, by searching at the all the values, this one can be adjusted or even changed, in the time someone resolve this one for us.
Here is my site, first of all.
You'll notice that underneath the divider bar in the middle of the page, there are three columns, one with a form, one with text, one with links.
Now, resize the window to slightly smaller, and the right div will drop down to the next line.
Is there anyway to just not display that? So, the divs will adjust (I have a liquid layout) up to the point where they won't fit, then, instead of wrapping the div down to the next line, it just won't be displayed?
You can also achieve that with CSS only.
Just assign the following CSS attributes to #row4:
#row4 {
min-width:1202px; /* the exact value depends on the sum of the width of your 3 column boxes */
overflow:hidden;
}
This differs slightly from your intended solution, since the right box will stay partly visible when sizing down the window and will not immediately disappear completely.
Please be aware that min-width won't work in IE6. However, there are several ways to emulate the min-width property, if you need to support old IEs:
http://www.thecssninja.com/xhtml/ie6-min-width-solutions
You can give them a wrapper div with a min-width set and force it to use a horizontal scrollbar if it gets too small. The nice thing about a wrapper div is you can give it a max-width as well and keep things from getting wonky on super huge monitors.
I'm not a fan of horizontal scrollbars, but it beats completely removing content.
Ok here is what you should do
Wrap all three floated division on a parent div, something like this
<div id="parent">
<div class="form">......</div>
<div class="text">......</div>
<div class="links">.....</div>
</div>
Now to solve your problem give a fixed height to the parent div like
#parent { height:400px;clear:both; }
You would have to use Javascript to get the width of the viewport, then change the display property of the div that is wrapping to display:none so that it doesn't show up when the browser width is too small.
