I am bad at integration its crasy. I float a lot of my stuff and find that whenever I start floating something I have to float its container ans its containers container ad nauseum because otherwise the container is collapsed.
So looking at my site now its pretty nice a stable but if I put a border on body I see that it is 1px high on top and everything in body is outside. If I float body then everything looks good but:
1- Is that bad design and how should I do it?
2- If its ok how do I center body? I use margin: auto. But once body is floated it stops working.
This is my css.
body {
width: 960px;
font-size: 13px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 20px;
border: 1px #000 solid;
}
.wrapper {
float: left;
width: 960px;
}
.header {
float: left;
width: 960px;
border: 1px #000 solid;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.menu {
width: 960px;
float: left;
border: 1px #000 solid;
}
.sidebar {
width: 260px;
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: 20px;
}
.content {
border: 1px #000 solid;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 20px;
width: 620px;
float: left;
padding: 10px;
}
.footer {
border: 1px #000 solid;
width: 960px;
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
}
And the layout file:
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="header">
<h1>HEADER</h1>
</div>
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="sidebar">
sidebar
</div>
<div class="content">
<h1>Content</h1>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<h1>FOOTER</h1>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Anyways hope I am clear.
Replace the float with overflow: auto in .wrapper and it should work just fine. You can then center it with margin: auto:
.wrapper {
overflow: auto;
margin: auto;
width: 960px;
}
Also, remove width: 960px and margin: auto from body as you don't need them anymore.
If you set your container's overflow to auto or hidden you shouldn't have to float it too (unless you want to for other reasons). Such as:
<div id="container">
<div id="left">Content! this should be floated left</div>
</div>
#container { overflow: auto; border: 1px solid #000; }
#left { float: left; }
Should have the container display with the border around everything.
Yes, floating all the elements like that is bad design and an abuse of the float element. It would be well worth your while to learn the natural flow of the elements and proper use of CSS position.

I'm a real beginner in CSS...
Do you know how could I do this sort of alignment ? I try a lot a things but I don't get what I need... So I just draw it if you have any code idea...
<div id="sys-wrap">
<img src="image.png">
<p>Long message texte</p>
</div>
#sys-wrap {}
#sys-wrap p {
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
float:left;
margin: 15px;
width: 691px;
}
#sys-wrap img {
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
float: left;
margin: 15px 15px 15px 100px;
vertical-align: top;
}
Thanks!

I made a fiddle. Does this work for you?
https://jsfiddle.net/hnf8jou4/3/
HTML:
<div>
<div id="left">
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/400/200" id="inner">
</div>
<div id="right"></div>
</div>
CSS:
#left {
width:25%;
height:200px;
float: left;
background-color:#f00;
}
#right {
width:75%;
height:200px;
background-color:#0f0;
}
#inner {
display:block;
width:100px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 0;
background-color: #00f;
}
It is really unclear what exactly you are trying to achieve. But since i saw the drawing u made i suppose this is what u need. U need to have a div for wrap and add float: right to the right div. The other things are just playing with height in % and paddings.
https://jsfiddle.net/hnf8jou4/4/
For #sys-wrap img inside of your CSS file, add a float: right; and a margin of 15px
Your new CSS should look similar to this:
#sys-wrap img {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
float: right;
margin: 15px;
}
Also, give it's parent container a set width and height:
#sys-wrap {
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
background: red; // just to make it pretty
}
And just as a little fyi, vertical-align does not work, unless the specified element has a display of table-cell. :-)
Here's a fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/d2ae3ub3/
The bottom border for the .block1 div and .block2 is missing. The .header has all borders, I tried .block and it has borders, but those 2 are missing just the bottom. I can't figure it out. Why is that?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.header
{
width: 1500px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px solid;

text-align: center;
}
.block
{
width: 1500px;
height: 300px;
margin: 80px 80px 80px 50px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.block1

Welcome to CSS Box Model!
This is because borders ADD TO the width/height you have set on elements (as does padding).
since .block is 300px tall, and .block1 and .block2 are 100%, with the 1px border, they are actually 302px tall.
and since you have overflow:hidden on .block it is clipping the border.
box-sizing:border-box makes box model and sizing behave more logically.
http://css-tricks.com/the-css-box-model/
Change
overflow: hidden;
To:
overflow: visible;
change that in .block
.block1and .block2 togather with their border are 302px so you could also change the height of .block to 302px or more

Hey guys I have a code pen link on top so you guys can see it. I am pretty much having problems centering the middle box. How do I do that. When I do center it, the middle box seems to favor one side when I zoom out of the browser
this is my code
#box{
border: 3px solid red;
}
#space{
text-align: center;
}
#leftcolumn {
width: 300px; border: 1px solid red; float: left; margin: 40px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
#rightcolumn {
width: 300px; border: 1px solid red; float: right;
margin: 40px; margin-left: 20px;
}
#mcolumn {
width: 300px; border: 1px solid red; float: left; margin: 40px;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}
and my HTML
<div id="box">
<div id="space">
<div id="leftcolumn"><p>LEFT</p></div>
<div id="rightcolumn"><p>RIGHT</p></div>
<div id="mcolumn"><p>mcolomn</p></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
</div>
Middle block sticks to one side because of the "float: left" rule. To be centered it needs no float. You can just add 'auto' horizontal margin without any float and it will work fine.
Here is modified example: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/pitod
(there's a trick with top padding for parent container to avoid problems with top margins, but you can solve that however you like)
hope it will help you, #mcolumn is centered now
#mcolumn {
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid red;
margin: 40px auto;
display: inline-block;
}
Demo
I'm trying to put a logo and a sidebar next to eachother, but it just won't work. The logo container needs to be centered at the top. And the sidebar needs the be at the top-left Can you help me? I already tried float, no succes. :(
code:
<body>
<center>
<div id="logo1">
<div id="logo2"></div>
</div>
</center>
<div id="sidebar1">
<a href="https://test.com/" target="blank">
<div id="test1"></div>
</a>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
#test1 {
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-left: 22px;
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/2.png');
height: 45px;
width: 45px;
}
#test1:hover {
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-left: 22px;
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/1.png');
height: 45px;
width: 45px;
}
#sidebar1 {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid;
margin-top: -10px;
margin-left: -15px;
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/lol.png');
height: 1080px;
width: 118px;
}
#logo1 {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid;
margin-top: 10px;
height: 100px;
width: 700px;
}
Ok, This is what you have to do :
You need to remove the display:inline-block from #logo1
And instead of just writing margin-top:10px , you need to use margin:0px auto, or you could write margin:10px auto. By this, it will center your #logo1 div.
But to center a "div" , you need to have another container(div) that wrap within your div. So that it will know, from which side to which side that it will have to be "centered".
For that reason, you will need to create another div or container around your #logo1 div, and lets assume it is called "right" (see the code below).
And for this div/container to be just beside your sidebar, it will need to have a relative position same as your sidebar. Now, you can just float both of your #sidebar1 and also your #logo1 to the left.
Thus, you dont have to use that negative margin for your sidebar anymore (remove that). If you wanted to use the negative margin, you have to use the absolute position in this case. But you will then have to restructure your whole #logo1 div which will create a lot of works.
This is the full code for your reference :
HTML code :
<div id="container">
<div id="sidebar1">
<a href="https://test.com/" target="blank">
<div id="test1">This is sidebar</div>
</a>
</div>
<div id="right">
<div id="logo1">
<div id="logo2"><This is logo</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And use this CSS :
#container{
width:1000px;
height:1080px;
position:absolute;
border:1px solid #000;
}
#test1 {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-left: 22px;
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/2.png');
height: 45px;
width: 45px;
}
#test1:hover {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-left: 22px;
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/1.png');
height: 45px;
width: 45px;
}
#sidebar1 {
display: inline-block;
position:relative;
float:left;
border: 1px solid;
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/lol.png');
height: 1080px;
width: 118px;
border:1px solid red;
}
#right{
position:relative;
float:left;
margin-top:0px;
width:870px;
height:100px;
}
#logo1 {
position:relative;
border: 1px solid;
margin: 0px auto;
height: 100px;
width: 700px;
}
Do you want this ?
#test1 {
border: 1px solid;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-left: 22px;
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/2.png');
height: 45px;
width: 45px;
}
#test1:hover {
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/1.png');
}
#sidebar1 {
position:absolute;
border: 1px solid;
background-image:url('Afbeeldingen/lol.png');
height: 1080px;
width: 118px;
}
#logo1 {
border: 1px solid;
margin-top: 10px;
height: 100px;
width: 700px;
}
<div id="sidebar1">
<a href="https://test.com/" target="blank">
<div id="test1"></div>
</a>
</div>
<div id="logo1">
<div id="logo2"></div>
</div>
I assume this is what you want? http://jsfiddle.net/Le6PH/
You should do:
Remove the negative margins (If you don't know what you are doing, don't use negative margins)
Remove the <center> tag (This tag is deprecated since EVER)
Remove the margin of your logo
Add a wrapper div around your whole structure
Add the following CSS to that div
CSS
.wrapper{
position:relative;
width:818px; /* sidebar width + logo width */
}
Change position:relative; to position:absolute for your logo & sidebar divs.
Add top:0; for both divs
Add right:0; for the sidebar div
EDIT:
With a centered logo, like this (http://jsfiddle.net/Le6PH/1/) you'll need to change 2 things:
Add a margin-left:118px; to the logo div
Change the width of the wrapper to width of logo + margin logo + width of sidebar.
Try floating your div, it should look like this..
<div class="row">
<div id="log"></div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div id="sidebar"></div>
</div>
css
.row{
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
How can the parent div auto resize it's height based on the child's height?
div#main{
width: 970px;
height: 100px;
background: rgba(255,0,0,1);
border: 5px solid rgb(251,151,117);
margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px; /* Top Right Bottom Left*/
padding: 10px
}
div#left{width: 383px;
height: 100%;
margin-right: 5px;
background: rgb(0,0,255);
float:left
}
div#description{width: 100%;
height: 50%;
background: rgb(0,0,0)
}
div#following{width: 100%;
height: 50%;
background: rgb(0,255,0)
}
div#posts{width: 577px;
height: auto;
margin-left: 5px;
background: rgb(255,255,0);
float: right
}
<div id="main">
<div id="left" class="cell">
<div id="description" class="cell">
</div>
<div id="following" class="cell">
</div>
</div>
<div id="posts" class="cell">
there are some contents here (height is set to auto)
</div>
</div>
I made a very simple example for you to see how variable parent height works.
.parent
{
height: auto;
border: 1px dashed #f00;
padding: 5px;
}
.child
{
height: 100px;
border: 1px dashed #0f0;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
</div>
</div>
Follow what is there and you'll do fine.
After looking through your code it's a float problem, you have to add a new div to the bottom with clear: both; to clear the floats and make the #main div appear filled in.
Look at example here.
div#main{
width: 970px;
background: rgba(255,0,0,1);
border: 5px solid rgb(251,151,117);
margin: 20px 0px 20px 0px; /* Top Right Bottom Left*/
padding: 10px
}
Remove height attribute
CSS3
.container {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
Should fix it. Use inline-block if you want it to be a block with inline.
