Im trying to make this layout (many of these are in a list):
An image (of varying height, but a set width) on the left. To the right is an <h2>, and below that, but still to the right of the image is a div with other content in it.
The div is used to provide a different colored background. Right now, the div for some reason extends behind the image, and the images has a varying distance between them, and sometimes one element will get pushed to the right by the height of the image above.

Add overflow: hidden to your outermost divs (div (display: block)) to contain the floats.

Having problems executing a complex layout with minimal usage of relative and absolute positioning.
Here's my layout:
All my elements are floating left sitting side by side with only a single problem: the border img needs to bleed down into the next row. How can I do that while preventing the elements in the 2nd row (the CTA elements) from scooting down below the lower margin of border img?
This is what happens if I set the height of border img
For clarification:
The dom is such that border img is between main_sidebar and CTA_top_container.
main_side_image
main_heading_container
main_sidebar
border_img
CTA_top_container
CTA_Button_relative
Closing thoughts:
I have some ideas, like floating right the border img as a div (or susy's last) and setting background-image as 60% width and positioned on the left of the div or nesting an absolute positioned img inside of a relative container to nudge it over to the left, but i am afraid of destroying the fluidity of the layout (it's inside of a susy fluid grid).
Any thoughts?
If you float the border_img right instead of left (with some right margin to push it off the edge), everything else should be able to flow around it.
You might also want to use a grid with more columns. If you're always having to split columns into fractions, it's not really the right grid for the job.
HTML
<img id="btnLeft" src="img/btnLeft.png"/>
<img id="logo01" src="img/logo01.png"/>
CSS
#btnLeft{heigth:64px;}
#btnLeft:hover{height:74px;}
On mouseover btnLeft pushes #logo01 down by 10px.
I want #logo01 to stay in place.
Create a separate div for your image elements, float them left or right depending on your preference and then use use vertical-align: top on the containing div. Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/94zVg/.
The reason for this issue is because you have to image elements side by side which will be aligned to the bottom of their containing block. When one image is enlargened, it expands the containing block and the other element descends to stick to the bottom of it. Floating and aligning vertically solve this problem.
Give the first image a width as well, otherwise its width will expand proportionally and push the adjacent image down.
#btnLeft{height:64px;width:100px;}
#btnLeft:hover{height:74px;}

I am trying to create a site layout using CSS. I have four (4) DIV elements. One is the main container that I have centered in the page and contains all the other DIV elements. Of the remaining three DIVs one is a page header, one is a left menu and the last holds content for the page. I would like to have the CONTENT DIV floated such that it is adjacent to the MENU DIV. However, I am finding that the width of the CONTENT DIV is not using the width I specified. I have created a sample running on JSFIDDLE which should make it easier to visualize.
http://jsfiddle.net/Rrgr7/
What I am trying to figure out is why the CONTENT DIV doesn't take up 600 pixels as I have defined? Thank you.
You have to float your content also. Your content div is 600 from the left not counting the float and if you add more text it will run down under the menu: example.
If you float it, then it will do what you want, but you have to be careful about sizes or it will float down under your menu.
If you just give it a 200px margin and no width, I think that would work best as it would use the remaining space and stay 200px from the left edge. The float doesn't push it further, the margin is from the container div.

As you will see there is a side bar and a content area, sidebar is floating left, content floating right, and footer clears both.
Height on the sidebar and content are not set so the divs grow!
However, you can see that if one floating div is bigger than the other, the the background image appears.
I need to know how to make the background colour of both divs always be the same, and grow together in peace and harmony
Thanks
display: table-cell on both divs (and removing the floats) can work easily here, though lower IEs won't like it.
Or, you could always use the infamous Faux Columns
What you are asking is for the two divs to be the same height even though their content height is different. This cannot be done without relying on tables or javascript.
What you can do to achieve the same effect, is have a container div (I can see you already have it) and give this a vertically repeating background image of the sidebar and content color. This is known as Faux Columns.
Make sure to clear within the container (move <div class="clear"></div> up one level) so the container gets the height of whichever div is bigger.
i created two divs first a red background div and then a blue background div both having a width height 100px. Blue div appears below red div. However if i apply a float left or display inline.Blue div appears next to red div. I want to understand how elements are placed on a html page what does applying float or display inline makes a difference to it.
See The Visual Formatting Model in the CSS specification.
Divs are "block" elements which means they have a line break before and after them, making new element appear below them.
If you set display to "inline" then they become inline elements removing the line breaks so new elements appear next to them.
Floating left makes an element "float" on to the left of the page (or containing element), content then flows around the right side of the element from the top of the element (it was designed to replace the "align" attributes for images).
