Why are my DIVs clearing left? - html

I don't usually post a link to my site when asking questions, though I don't see another way around it. I apologize in advance.
I'm having difficulties with a specific page. The page consists of Team Members, where each member is its own DIV (also each team member is coincidentally a separate post in Wordpress).
For some reason, the DIVs wrapping each post are clearing left, but no clearing attributes are assigned!
The page is located here: http://engineercreativity.com/samples/comsense/?page_id=15
Please, if you can help, I'd love to hear any input.
Thanks a lot!

Divs are floating on horizontal axis and not vertically, What you are essentially looking for is a Masonry Plugin, its for jquery and should easily solve your problem.

edit:
your divs are not clearing on left, please see the computed layout
the whitespace is not because of divs clearing left, the whitespace is because of line height. When you are having two floating elements in a row, then the row will take height equal to the bigger element, so essentially each row will have white space below the smaller div. This is similar to a HTML Table.

Akinator's fix didn't work for me in FF on Win XP. If you change your float on the "team-member" class to float: left it will fix it. It is being caused by your static image being float left and the rest of the divs around it being float right.

If I understood your question correctly, you have a margin-bottom of 15px in the class .team-member, this gives and extra white space.
It should be set to 0 (or not set)
Is this what you ment?

Div Alignment CSS Issue

I am new to css. I am having an alignment issue in one of my html pages. I have created an invoice page, which can be viewed at: https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=G6HQYBZLNH3Y .
When you will open this page you will notice that one of DIVs is slightly more to the right and one of its edge is pointing out. i have tried multiple things but i am unable to set its alignment. I will be really thankful if anyone can solve this issue.
The Bootstrap .row class adds negative margin to the left and right, and the .col classes add padding to the left and right. You have tried to counteract this padding by adding columns to the container to wrap your rows which in turn wrap additional columns.
Try removing those wrapper columns. This will allow the previous rows with black backgrounds to extend further, the text will line up better, and then the div in question won't extend further than the previous rows.

Can't get CSS flexbox to expand properly

So I have a post-view that I can't get to work properly, and flexbox seemed like the answer from heaven that I was looking for. Except, I can't seem to figure it out properly no matter what...
If you look at this code, there's two vertical divs that should both stretch as more content gets added to either. The div where more content appears grows accordingly, but I want the other div to match in length, and so the bottom edges to be aligned to the bottom of the flex box. The repeating images behind the two founder buttons and the "LOTS OF TEXT" should then fill up empty space down to the bottom where the bottom-edge images are.
I've been at this for a good week now and can't figure it out... I'm sorry if this is a really simple thing or I'm being dense about css, I'm still learning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In your .forumviewright class, add this property:
height: 100px;
That brings the baselines together.
Just tested it in Chrome Dev Tools. It works. It also works in FIDDLE. But it doesn't seem to work in the CSSDesk sample you provided.
Whether or not this is the permanent solution you're looking for, you can let me know in the comments below.
EDIT
Your question begins with:
Can't get CSS flexbox to expand properly.
Actually, the flexbox is working fine. Both columns are binded to each other and expand equally, as per the flexbox rules.
If you highlight the child divs (.forumviewleft and .forumviewright) in Chrome Dev Tools or Firefox Inspector, you'll see that both columns are equal height and track each other regardless of content size on either side.
To illustrate this, I've added a background color to each column div so you can see that the flex is working properly. No other changes to the code were made. In this example, no matter how much content is placed in either column, both color-coded columns remain equal height.
https://jsfiddle.net/eympj0yq/2/
Of course, the real problem is that the child container boxes inside these columns aren't tracking each other.
This will require some fundamental adjustments to your code. For a better understanding of this problem and how to fix it, see this post:
Height 100% on flexbox column child
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Display block not working as thought...?

I know this is a common question and I've already tried the searched methods. Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZfZK9/ and here's my problem
Basically, I've got a main div container. It has an image and some text. I need the image on one side, then the text on the other. I tried putting the img in a div, setting it's height to 100%, and floating it right, but as you can see in the jsfiddle once the text goes below the image it doesn't keep the column formation.
I'm not sure why the display: block and height: 100% aren't doing any good on the left column.
Thanks
Edit: I'm assuming height: 100% doesn't work because that gets rendered and then text gets added later. I'm still trying to find an elegant solution though, and general-purpose.
Another problem, is when I set both divs (of the image and of the text) to float: left, it just displays the image then the text under it
It can be done like this: http://jsfiddle.net/ZfZK9/34/
Just create two div's as columns around both sides, then set both those sides to a specific width, then play around with the padding and margin til you get what you want.
To keep your border around your content, I added a clearfix which will help contain the two floated columns....
http://jsfiddle.net/ZfZK9/34/
Had to edit a few things, took a bit to get it right, but now all should be working. Contains two floated divs, with a browser proof clearfix added to the mix. If you wanted the image, or the sidebar to appear as if it continues to the bottom, read about Faux Columns
You have some css in the html and some in the css so this is hard to follow. What I believe I see is a common mistake where you must consider when you set something to 100% you have to think, 100% of what? It's always the parent of that element. So what is the parent set to? If nothing, there's your problem.
Just remember that if the parent is also set to 100%, the same question will apply.
EDIT: I see the problem now. I misunderstood. What you want to do then is set the width of the right div, the one with the text. Float that right and it should solve the problem.

css variable length columns extending too far

Not a front-end UI but have a (probably) very easy problem to fix. Here is a jsfiddle of it: http://jsfiddle.net/trestles/U7mYT/ I have two floated elements shown in this screen shot. One is floated left and the other (index-right-content) is floated right. The floated right div has two columns of content. The second column is much longer but doesn't expand out the box to push down the container. The index-right-content is posistion:relative. The index-right-content is the blue dashed border.
thx
edit #1
fiddle of it: http://jsfiddle.net/trestles/U7mYT/
I think the issue is the 'index-box right' which is right floated needs some way to clear itself but adding a clear:both didn't seem to do it.
don't do this full-time so thx for any help
I don't know why you should use positioning for the div index-right-content. Also, the width is more than it should be... I think I see 640px for the width, which I think is unnecessary, provided that the widths of the columns inside this div is defined.
see the updated jsfiddle adding float to both inner columns in container.

CSS+HTML: tds are overlapping

On my web-site http://vfm-elita.com (it is not in English, sorry for that) - center and right columns are overlapping, please see screenshot for details:
Between left and center columns you can see a "gap" with a green background - it is expected and good.
But there are no any gap between center and right columns, instead they are overlapping.
Issue exists in all known browsers
There are no special formatting applied to columns. They are usual 'TD' columns, the only CSS modifier is width that is "250px" for left and right columns, and for center - it is "auto".
Please advise how can I correct that error.
Thanks a lot!
You have two divs with class "wrap" in the middle td element. Both divs has width: 100%. When i removed that, overlapping issue was gone.
BTW, table layout is out-of-date for more than 10 years or so.
I had a look and the quickest fix I found was to add a padding of 7px to the left hand side of the last table-cell in the table with class "fon".
