I am trying to create the following layout with divs (every of them have a random fixed width and height):

So I was trying with the float parameter but it always ends up with the layout divided according to the highest height of a div:

Does someone know how to do this special layout without using absolute positioning, in order to keep the full liquid feature intact? It looks like a "div-cloud" or a "box2d-inversed-gravity-stack"
I don't think that is possible with CSS alone, but I could be wrong. You could use JavaScript to do it though.
I found a library called jQuery Masonry which looks like it does what you want. I haven't tried it but it might be worth looking into.

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'm making blog template. In article/post list, i want to create layout like this, i don't know what name this layout, it's like notes in android version of Google Keep
I try to create the layout using simple box div with css float:left but the result is like this, there is a leave blank space when box change line, and the next box start horizontally in new line
So, is anyone knows how to make layout like that without using two column of div? or maybe there is any javascript plugin to solve?
This is a javascript solution, but have you thought of using something like Isotope or Masonry? http://isotope.metafizzy.co/

It's a bit of feature abuse, but you can set the outer div to use text columns and then layout the inner divs in 2 columns with display: inline-block.
Column direction flexboxes won't fill the horizontal space automatically even if you allow them break because they only break if they are somehow constrained in that direction and height usually is not constrained in documents.
I'm working on a mobile site, which has a fluid layout. On the main page, I have a table which contains a few products.
Each product has 3 divs: product-image, product-name and prices-container.
I can't seem to figure out how to align the prices-container div horizontally across the table-rows.
I'm thinking that there would be 2 approaches to this problem: either product-name always takes the height of the highest product-name across the table-row, either prices-container always sticks to the bottom of my product table-cell. Can't seem to figure out how to apply any.
Here's an illustration of the problem.
Left image shows my problem and right image shows how I would like it to be.
This wouldn't be a problem if product-name would have a fixed height, but due to the fact that this text is dynamic, I cannot know what height it will have. Might be one line of text, might be 10 lines.
I created a CodePen, where you can check my code and the problem >>here<< (I know it looks ugly, using background-colors to figure out faster what's happening).
I'm using Jade for my HTML and Stylus for my CSS.
Limitations:
- must be CSS & HTML only, I would prefer not using Javascript
- solution must be suitable for fluid layout (width is set with percentage)
- cannot use a fixed height of product-name, this being a dynamic text
Any ideas how to do this? Thank you! :)
add vertical-align:bottom; css style to .box1 class.
Similarly, add same style for .box4 css class.
Thanks,
I'm going to create a horizontal grid layout with CSS. (And I'll make it to scroll horizontally by JQuery and this solution. Please note that scrolling is not my problem. my problem is about creating the grid)
This is an example:
I have searched the internet about CSS Grids, but it seems that they can't help me...
My Question is, how to create something like the image above? Which plugins, or css properties should I use for this purpose?
EDIT: I want to have fixed number of rows (I mean, the number of rows should not change when I resize the page. there should be an scrollbar instead.) (I will use it inside a div with overflow: auto)
display:table, display:table-row, display:table-cell, display:inline-block
These css properties can help, just look them up on your local css information site.
The table-values let every element behave like a table, without actually using one. This may be a good solution for your problem.
The inline-block-value solves the overhang problem some floating layouts have as the blocks are displayed inline, just like imgs. There is little support for this in old browsers, of course.
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

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.
