Here is my site, first of all.
You'll notice that underneath the divider bar in the middle of the page, there are three columns, one with a form, one with text, one with links.
Now, resize the window to slightly smaller, and the right div will drop down to the next line.
Is there anyway to just not display that? So, the divs will adjust (I have a liquid layout) up to the point where they won't fit, then, instead of wrapping the div down to the next line, it just won't be displayed?
You can also achieve that with CSS only.
Just assign the following CSS attributes to #row4:
#row4 {
min-width:1202px; /* the exact value depends on the sum of the width of your 3 column boxes */
overflow:hidden;
}
This differs slightly from your intended solution, since the right box will stay partly visible when sizing down the window and will not immediately disappear completely.
Please be aware that min-width won't work in IE6. However, there are several ways to emulate the min-width property, if you need to support old IEs:
http://www.thecssninja.com/xhtml/ie6-min-width-solutions
You can give them a wrapper div with a min-width set and force it to use a horizontal scrollbar if it gets too small. The nice thing about a wrapper div is you can give it a max-width as well and keep things from getting wonky on super huge monitors.
I'm not a fan of horizontal scrollbars, but it beats completely removing content.
Ok here is what you should do
Wrap all three floated division on a parent div, something like this
<div id="parent">
<div class="form">......</div>
<div class="text">......</div>
<div class="links">.....</div>
</div>
Now to solve your problem give a fixed height to the parent div like
#parent { height:400px;clear:both; }
You would have to use Javascript to get the width of the viewport, then change the display property of the div that is wrapping to display:none so that it doesn't show up when the browser width is too small.

I positioned two div elements side-by-side by using float= left;
But buttons are getting displayed beside the div elements.
I want the button elements right below the two div elements which were placed side- by-side.
When you use float:left property then the div's height and width are set by either of the following
amount of space it's content html elements require
applied css height and width.
hence say if your screen if too big and space is left out on the sides then the next element (if it can be fitted in that space) is rendered (if it requires more then it would appear on the next line).
hence now regarding your problem there are two possible solution's
Increase the widths of your div so that it takes most of the screen width.(mostly never used as it might look ugly on big screens)
but if u want to go by this approach the setting the width's in percent can do the job.
Fiddle demo
use the clear:both property of css (mostly used)
for it's explanation you have to read it's documentation
i would suggest you go by this approach
Fiddle demo
i have a div inside its parent div and code is shown below
<div style="width:100%;height:400px;"><!--main_div-->
<div id="left_container" style="width:float:left;width:220px;height:1000px;"></div>
<div id="middler" style="float:left;width:800px;height:800px;background-color:#333;"></div>
</div><!--end_of_main_div-->
this code is perfectly HTMLized in browser
But when i resize browser(change the width of the browser window) the div(middler) is weirdly pushed below the main div .. why is it happening
like this page is perfectly spread even when the browser is re-sized
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcpwaeP11pY
Because of this:
float:left;
What it's telling the browser is: Put these on the same line if there is enough room. If there isn't, drop it a line.
You're giving it set pixel widths, so it will always drop to the next line when changing window size.
Instead of using widths set by pixel, try using percentages instead.
Because float:left will only try and hug the adjacent div if it can. It's is no guarantee that the div will align to the right of the first div. It will only do so if it has enough space within the browser window.
If you want to keep the div entitled 'middler' to the right of your other div, you'll have to either use percentages or used fixed/absolute positioning.
The question alone is none-too specific, in my opinion.
You also have an error in your syntax on line 2:
This:
width:float:left;
Should really be this:
float:left;
But this probably won't solve your issue.
Because if the browser width is ess than 1020px, there is no longer enough room to fit both boxes side-by-side, so one of them has to give.
Try setting the size in percentages.
Like someone already said, if you set it to pixels the size is static and if the browser doesn't have space to fit both horizontally it will try to fit them vertically.
You could set a static min-width for your main div:
<div style="width:100%; min-width: 1020px; height:400px;">
Note: when you add a padding, margin or border to #left-container or #middler you should add that number to the min-width from your main div.
I have this:
http://jsfiddle.net/UHrLH/1/
I set the height on the box element to auto, but min-height is 200px;
Now if i try to make more content in the first box, the height expands but it creates a big white space under it. I do not want that, i want to have the box under eachother like you can see above, where the height on all boxes is 200px
See the issue here:

This will give you boxes inline but unfortunately the pairs will not extend to match the height of it's partner. To do this you will need to use tables or a javscript overwrite to capture the height. Also, bear in mind display: inline-block will not work on divs in IE7 and below, it would work on a span though: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html#t03

I have added an additional div if that is ok for you...
<div class="box_Container">
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'm working on a jquery slider, except instead of using a fixed-width container, I'm using the whole browser window. I've got jQuery set up to fix the margins to make sure it's centered correctly (although I just made them 500 pixels in the demo to keep it simple), but the problem is when I try to add more divs, it puts them on a second line instead of putting them beyond the edge of the browser. Here is my code: http://jsfiddle.net/JsPZT/
Eventually, I'll change the overflow so that they are hidden when they are beyond the edge of the browser, but for now, I just want to know that they are on the same line and not being pushed onto the second.
So my question is what should I change in the CSS to make sure the divs are always on the same line, even if it means pushing them beyond the edge of the window?
To get divs to stay on the same line when they are off of the screen, you have several options. Here's what I can think of off the top of my head.
Make the parent container always large enough to hold the divs you want to float. Theoretically, they shouldn't jump down to the next line that way, but I haven't tried it myself.
Another option is to use a combination of display:table and display:table-cell on the parent and children divs respectively. You just have to make sure you are supporting the browsers you want to support.
My last idea is to set each div with position:absolute. Then, just adjust the left attribute to 100% * x to place the div off the screen to the left or right. Depending on what you are trying to do, when they are off the viewable area you could just leave them at left:-100% or 100%. The same should work for the top attribute if you want the div to be off the screen above or below the viewable area.
Try white-space: nowrap;
If that doesn't work, you will probably need an inner div with a width that's the sum of all contained divs.
You need to add a width to your #track CSS. That is your wrapper, and without a width on that, the items will just overflow and drop to the next line. You'll probably have to add another div to set the overflow and get everything positioned correctly.
