In the following jsfiddle I have put some html and some css. I'm trying to not have each element wrap when the screen gets smaller. Actually I'm trying to implement the jqueryUI slider inside of my container. I've tried to implement several css fixes to get each element to line up side by side. However they initially wrap. If you play with the size of the results box for the fiddle below you will see that it does in fact wrap.

What am I doing incorrectly
Not sure if I understand your question... You want all those seven-line tables arranged on one row, not wrapping under each other? If so, how about something like
.post-content { min-width: 85em; }
If you want them to stay arranged in a 3x3, maybe display:table is what you need...

I have quite an interesting problem in front of me. I think it would be better to illustrate it in codepen:
https://codepen.io/BooleT/pen/bWdPWe/
In the class names ib means "inline-block" and iib means "inner inline block".
I have created figures to illustrate what I am trying to achieve. In the next 3 paragraphs I will reference the images in this album:
https://imgur.com/a/9CFAm
So there are three inline blocks, one of which is actually a container of three other inline-blocks:
The effect I want to achieve is to make the contents of the container to wrap into 2 lines when I resize the window:
But instead I only manage to wrap the whole container itself to the second line:
Is there actually the way to achieve what I want? I've tried to add nbsp between outer inline-blocks and to add white-space: nowrap to the body element (and overwrite it to white-space: normal for the container), but none of it worked.
I know that I can work around it by adding media-queries or js that simply reduces the width (or max-width) of the container when I reduce the screen width, but it doesn't seem like the solution. I don't even know the width of every block in my real layout.
I will try to keep an open mind, since the solution to this problem might require to change the entire layout of the page, but I do think there is one.
Being not a fan of flexboxes – the burden of old-browser compatibility still standing strong where I come from – here's what we do to make a container on the right occupy all the remaining horizontal space:
Codepen
The fixed-size divs on the left are told to be float: left.
The spanning div on the right is given display: block.
The smallest inner divs are display: inline-block.
If you can use flexbox then this pen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/RVWwEP seems like it does what you want. Be aware of the compatibility caveats that go along with flexbox, though.
For convenience I've put display: flex; on the body to create top level row, although #10nikov's answer is definitely a better way to do that.
I want to create a button/link that is centered in the content area of a webpage. Because it's a button, and not just a link, I'm adding some padding and background colour to it.
The link is centered horizontally, but the padding seems to expand outside the line-height of the parent element, causing it to overlap with previous/next elements. See: http://fths.convoke.info/what-can-i-do/
I tried creating a fiddle, but wasn't seeing the same issue: http://jsfiddle.net/convoke/g9wu6ws9/
So what am I missing? Conversely, is there a better way to center a link like this? I don't like using margin: auto because it requires you specify the width. Ideally the width would be dynamic, so if the text on the button was longer or shorter, it would remain centered.
In this case, the answer I needed came from user #CBroe in the comments of my original question. He suggested using display:inline-block and that worked like a charm.
Still unsure as to why I was getting different results on the fiddle vs the actual website...
I am designing an elastic layout which is used with a dynamic number of items. As you can see, the layout is fluid and the number of items per row changes with the resolution. I can put on any classes I want on the item when I generate them with PHP if this helps.

Problem
I always want the left-most pink grids to align with the far left of the page and the same on the right side. Currently there is always an extra 1% margin on the pink squares, meaning they do not align with the "testing" text.
Invalid solution
The only solution I can come up with is to put a 1% margin on all content which isn't the pink grid so that they both align (i.e on the testing text), but on my production site, this is going to make it very messy. Using javascript would also be an invalid solution
Possible solution
Possibly the way to achieve this is to use the CSS nth item rule for different resolutions like below but I can't seem to get it working correctly:
#media (max-width: 1200px) {
.thumb:nth-child(3n+3) {
width:21%;
}
}
I just know there is a really smart, elegant solution to this and I can't figure it out. Points go for the cleanest, most compatible solution.
you could take a look at ways to justify align your boxes and use display:inline-block; instead of float or display:flex.
IT will send to far right and far left first & last box of each line. but boxes will not be dispatch on last line with same margin and will break the column look.
display:inline-block and text-align:justify:http://jsfiddle.net/N3VRM/4/
display:flex and flex:wrap and justify-content:space-between :http://jsfiddle.net/N3VRM/5/
But what looks close to your needs is the use of the selector nth-child(n) to count and reset specific margin to selected boxes.
So let's test : .thumb:nth-child(4n) {margin-left:0;} .thumb:nth-child(4n+1) {margin-right:0;}
http://jsfiddle.net/N3VRM/6/
these count needs to be reset and set for each mediaquerie.
See in last fiddle linked, shadow color switching with mediaquerie.
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 just designed a portfolio website. I have a whole array of images that I want to keep in one line (with horizontal scroll). This only happens when I have set a fixed width for the surrounding div (in this case with class '.post-images'), wide enough to contain all images. This could be just fine if the amount of images and their widths wasn't dynamic. Unfortunately this isn't the case here. I want this div to be wrapping around all images and not causing them to float. I have tried to set the div's where I put each image in ('.post-image') to 'white-space: nowrap' to no avail.
See an example here: Link
How can I fix this problem? I hope someone is willing to give me a hand here ;)
Thanks,

Replace the css for .post_images and .post_image with:
.post_images { white-space:nowrap; }
.post_image { display:inline; }
Effectively, this makes the wrapping <div class="post_image"> elements redundant (that's the display:inline); you may as well remove them.
In general, most elements size their width according to that of their container; if you wish an element to size according to content, you'll need a <table>, display: table or single line.
Edit: both white-space:nowrap and display:inline have been supported on all major browsers for years (in IE, all the way back to IE 5.5).
