I have gotten the assignment to code a website from tables to CSS. While this is easy I have one question on how to recreate one of the site's biggest detail.
Site is: www.optimizer.dk.
How can I recreate the labels coming out of the left side, while still having the content in the middle?
Rest of the site is no worries.
Is the solution to:
padding-left: 200000px;
margin-left: -200000px;
To fake the expansion to the left?
I would possibly do it like this:
Live Demo
CSS:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
overflow-x: hidden
}
body {
background: #eee
}
#container {
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #bbb;
}
li, li span {
height: 25px;
}
li {
position: relative;
width: 200px;
background: #777
}
li span {
display: block;
position: absolute;
width: 9999px;
left: -9999px;
top: 0;
background: url(http://dummyimage.com/50x30/f0f/fff)
}
HTML:
<div id="container">
<ul>
<li><span></span>Menu Item</li>
</ul>
<div id="content">
Hi!

This answer was based on an older answer I wrote: 'Stretching' a div to the edge of a browser
Ideally here you would want a fluid width. See: http://jsfiddle.net/cbNvn/1/
<div id="left">Left</div>
<div id="center">Center</div>
<div id="right">Right</div>
div {
float: left;
}
#left {
width: 25%;
text-align: right;
}
#center {
width: 50%;
}
#right {
width: 25%;
}
Expanding the page would expand the left column and the background image can repeat. The linked images can lay over the background as they do currently. The text-align:right attribute will keep the linked images on the right.
You need 3 divs with float:left to create the 3 columns
i would put it all in a div and set position:absolute;. then put your buttons in there own divs so you can move them.
or
put it all in a div and set the margin to -5%(mite need to play with this into it works). then make the image the background and put you text buttons in there own div's so you can move then to where you want them.
Then use float:left; to line them up

I am trying to place two divs of width 50% each but somehow its not appearing on same row, but if I do 49% it stacks in same row. Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong with the code(more interested to know the cause than solution).
CSS -
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
}
.left-c {
width: 50%;
background: #3EF00C;
display: inline-block;
}
.right-c {
width: 50%;
background: #2E4E6E;
display: inline-block;
}
HTML -
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left-c">
<p>LEFT ----- This is going to be some random text placed in a a left container inside the wrapper. I hope this text will suffice the requirement.</p>
</div>
<div class="right-c">
<p>This is going to be some random text placed in a a right container inside the wrapper. I hope this text will suffice the requirement. ----- RIGHT</p>
</div>

This is a classic issue with elements of type inline-block. Unfortunately, they take document whitespace into account, including blank characters. There are multiple solutions for this, but the one I tend to use involve setting their parent element to font-size: 0 and then resetting the font size on the inline blocks to your desired value.
Read more about this here: https://css-tricks.com/fighting-the-space-between-inline-block-elements/
Add float:left; to the class "left-c"
.left-c {
width: 50%;
background: #3EF00C;
display: inline-block;
float:left;
}
Please check out the FIDDLE
Change display: inline-block
to display: table-cell
for both sections like so:
.left-c {
width: 50%;
background: #3EF00C;
display: table-cell;
}
.right-c {
width: 50%;
/* 49% works well */
background: #2E4E6E;
display: table-cell;
}
Here is the JSFiddle demo
replace this css
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.wrapper {
width: 100%;
display:flex
}
.left-c {
width: 50%;
background: #3EF00C;
}
.right-c {
width: 50%;
background: #2E4E6E;
}
hi instead of inline block you can you float or flex like this:
link here https://jsfiddle.net/JentiDabhi/r9s3z07e/
CSS
.left-c {
background: #3ef00c none repeat scroll 0 0;
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left-c"><p></p></div><!----><div class="right-c"><p></p></div>
</div>
putting comment between closing tag of left-c and opening tag of right-c will solve the issue.

EDIT: The problem is solved, so thanks to everyone who helped!
Original post:
So I am trying to put three divs next to each other (until thus far this part has been successful) with the third and last div to like go to attach to the bottom of the divs, which I have no clue how to do this.
How can I put the third div to attach to the bottom of the middle div and stay within the container?
To show you, I made a quick example. Something like this:
The black colour in the image is the 'body'.
The grey is a container div I put the three other divs in.
Each other box represents a div with what I want them to do and how approx. I want them to be positioned of one another.
I hope this can be done only using html and css. I would appreciate any help.
So far I have this as html for the divs:
#nav,
#textarea,
#contactallpages {
vertical-align: top;
display: inline-block;
*display: inline;
}
#containerpage {
position: relative;
margin: auto;
padding-top: 5%;
padding-bottom: 5%;
background-color: black;
height: 100%;
width: 70%;
}
#centercontainer {
background-color: lightblue;
width: 75%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 2%;
}
#nav {
float: left;
background: #aaaaaa;
height: 50%;
width: 15%;
padding: 1%;
}
#textarea {
display: inline-block;
background: #cccccc;
height: 70%;
width: 64%;
padding: 1%;
}
#contactallpages {
background: #bbbbbb;
position: absolute;
width: 15%;
padding: 1%;
bottom: 0;
}
<div id="containerpage">
<div id="centercontainer">
<div id="nav">
<ul>1
</ul>
<ul>2
</ul>
<ul>3
</ul>
</div>
<div id="textarea">
<header>
<h1>Welcome</h1>
</header>
<p>
Text text more text.
</p>
<p>
And more text.
</p>
</div>
<div id="contactallpages">
Random small textbox
<br>More small text.
</div>
</div>
</div>
The way you should lay this out is one container div and 3 children div's set to display: inline-block;
Using display: inline-block; will position all the div's next to each other and allows you to use the vertical-align property.
Now all you would need to do is set the proper vertical-alignment for each of the child div's. You can also set the height to the container div (#myPage) and that is the height that vertical-align will use to determine the positioning.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/vertical-align
#myPage div {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
}
#centerFold {
height: 200px;
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: yellow;
}
#navBar, #contact{
height: 100px;
}
#navBar {
vertical-align: top;
background-color: red;
}
#contact {
vertical-align: bottom;
background-color: blue;
}
<div id="myPage">
<div id="navBar">
</div>
<div id="centerFold">
</div>
<div id="contact">
</div>
</div>
Try out flexbox if you do not have too much to worry about backward compatibility. My time at the moment doesn't allow to elaborate, but the essential part would be
#centercontainer {display: flex}
#contactallpages {align-self: flex-end}
Be aware though that some prefixing will be necessary for older browsers and this is only the standards-compliant solution. It does everything you want and you can forget about floating. Adding a
#textarea {flex-grow: 1}
would even allow the center to grow not only in height but in width also.
I have the following:
<div class='container-main'>
<div class='container-inner'>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
.container-main {
width: 100%;
}
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
}
.clickable-box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
/* ???? */
}
I'm trying to make it so the clickable box will be centered inside the inner container IF there isn't enough room for another clickable box next to it.
BUT if there is enough width (600px +) then they create 2 columns (which are together centered inside the inner container), and if theres more room even (900px +) then 3 columns etc...
in other words, when I start out with a window of width 500px, it should show 1 column of boxes all lined up under each other. As I drag the window out, the box should stay in the center until theres enough room for another to go next to it, and they create 2 columns instead, and so on.
But I don't want the column to float left or right while I'm dragging the window and leave a big empty space
Try this CSS:
.container-main {
width: 100%;
}
.container-inner {
width: 99%;
text-align:center
}
.clickable-box {
display: inline-block;
width: 32%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
I think what you're looking for is to set clickable-box to display: inline-block. Setting display: inline-block essentially makes the div act like text in regards to text-align rules, but still keeps some block properties as well. It's pretty sweet.
HTML
<div class='container-main'>
<div class='container-inner'>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
<div class='clickable-box'>
stuff
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.container-main {
background-color: red;
text-align: center;
}
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
}
.clickable-box {
background-color: blue;
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
}
Here's a fiddle to demo it!
display:inline-block should be the best solution, this will display clickable boxes in one line if there is space for them:
.clickable-box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
display:inline-block;
}
Also add text-align:center to parent div in order for clickable boxes to be centered
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
text-align:center;
}
I think this should do it. I modified the CSS a bit to add some borders to see what the boxes look like. You could certainly remove those borders.
Fiddle Demo
.container-main {
width: 100%;
}
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
border:3px solid #454;
text-align:center;
}
.clickable-box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
border:1px solid #000;
margin:0 auto;
display:inline-block;
}
I'd use float rules because they can push down the boxes that do not fit. For instance, float:left will get you at least two boxes on a 1096px. display:inline might have issues on browser rendering.
.container-main {
width: 100%;
}
.container-inner {
width: 90%;
}
.clickable-box {
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
float:left; // right there.
}
I'm trying to make a menu bar centered horizontally in the header of my page. For some reason, i can't get the centering to work. I made a little test page roughly displaying the problem: JSFiddle. The inner div has to be 5px away from the bottom, that's whatI use the position: absolute for.
I've tried searching on the web alot, but everything I find gives me the same result, or none at all. Most problems I found were when text-align: center wasn't in the container div, but even with it, it still doesn't work.
I removed two css attributes and it work.
position: absolute;
bottom: 5px;
Check this Fiddle
5px from bottom. Fiddle
This is not a perfect way, but it's still kind of useful. I first think of this idea from this Q&A.
You'll have to make some change to your HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="wrapper-center"> <!-- added a new DIV layer -->
<div id="inner_container">
TEXT ELEMETNES IN THIS THING!!!!
</div>
</div>
</div>
And the CSS will change to:
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
position: relative;
}
#inner_container {
display: inline-block;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
left:-50%;
}
#wrapper-center {
position:absolute;
left:50%;
bottom:5px;
width:auto;
}
Demo fiddle
The trick is to place the wrapper at the given top-bottom position, and 50% from left (related to parent), and then make the true content 50% to left (related to the wrapper), thus making it center.
But the pitfall is, the wrapper will only be half the parent container's width, and thus the content: in case of narrow screen or long content, it will wrap before it "stretch width enough".
If you want to centre something, you typically provide a width and then make the margins either side half of the total space remaining. So if your inner div is 70% of your outer div you set left and right margins to 15% each. Note that margin:auto will do this for you automatically. Your text will still appear to one side though as it is left-aligned. Fix this with text-align: centre.
PS: you really don't need to use position absolute to centre something like this, in fact it just makes things more difficult and less flexible.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
}
#inner_container {
color:red;
height:50px;
width: 70%;
margin:auto;
text-align:center;
}
If you don't want a fixed width on the inner div, you could do something like this
#outer {
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
#inner {
display: inline-block;
}
That makes the inner div to an inline element, that can be centered with text-align.
working Ex
this CSS changes will work :
#container {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
line-height: 160px;
text-align: center;
}
#inner_container {
display: inline;
margin: 0 auto;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
Try this:
html
<div id="outer"><div id="inner">inner</div></div>
css
#outer {
background: black;
width: 100%;
height: 160px;
line-height: 160px;
text-align: center;
}
#inner{
display: inline;
width: auto;
color: white;
background-color: #808080;
padding: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
example jsfiddle
You may set the inline style for the inner div.
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div align="center" id="inner_container" style="text-align: center; position:absolute;color: white;width:100%; bottom:5px;">
<div style="display: inline-block;text-align: center;">TEXT ELEMETNES IN THIS THING!!!!</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is working DEMO
I have 2 div in on page
<div id="main"></div>
<div id="panel"></div>
and using float to make main at left, and panel at right
#photos-main {
float: left;
width: 800px;
position: relative;
}
#panel {
float: left;
margin-left: 830px;
position: absolute;
}
I want to let panel fill with the left page space, which css should I use?
Just don't float it, and make it relatively positioned. Take out the margin as well. Floating "main" means that it will simply be to the left of "panel" all the time. If you define "main" how you want, "panel" will automatically take up the remaining space.
#photos-main {
float: left;
width: 800px;
position: relative;
}
#panel {
}
Looks like you're trying to build some layout, right? If that's the case, consider implementing (hence learning from) some of the techniques presented in these links:
40 Tutorials and tips about CSS Layouts
CSS Positioning
The perfect three columns layout
Hope it helps!
You could do it with floating with this approach:
#photos-main {
float: left;
width: 800px;
}
#panel {
float: right; /*to have the panel on the right side*/
width: 100px; /*with a width of 100px*/
}
Then you have to wrap the two Tags with another , which get a total width of both elements.
To clarify this two column layout and put e.g. a footer beneath, put another in your HTML-Structure and set into the css simple a "clear:both;", so the floating will be stopped.
