You used the wrong overflow-y property for clearing, and you should set a min-height instead of a regular height. Try this: #static-content { background-color: #FFFFFF; margin: 0 auto; min-height: 100%; /* Set to minimum height so overflow doesn’t get hidden */ overflow-y: hidden; /* HIDE overflow; I know, it doesn’t make much sense */ position: … Read more
Bootstrap 3 Using Bootstrap 3’s grid system: <div class=”container”> <div class=”row”> <div class=”col-xs-4″>Menu</div> <div class=”col-xs-8″> <div class=”row”> <div class=”col-md-4 col-md-push-8″>Right Content</div> <div class=”col-md-8 col-md-pull-4″>Content</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Working example: http://bootply.com/93614 Explanation First, we set two columns that will stay in place no matter the screen resolution (col-xs-*). Next, we divide the larger, right hand … Read more
The usual method when not using floats is to use display: inline-block: http://www.jsfiddle.net/zygnz/1/ .container div { display: inline-block; } Do note its limitations though: There is a additional space after the first bloc – this is because the two blocks are now essentially inline elements, like a and em, so whitespace between the two counts. … Read more
Add the following property: .c{ … overflow: hidden; } This will force the container to respect the height of all elements within it, regardless of floating elements. http://jsfiddle.net/gtdfY/3/ UPDATE Recently, I was working on a project that required this trick, but needed to allow overflow to show, so instead, you can use a pseudo-element to … Read more
You can use the clearfix to do “layout preserving” the same way overflow: hidden does. .clearfix:before, .clearfix:after { content: “.”; display: block; height: 0; overflow: hidden; } .clearfix:after { clear: both; } .clearfix { zoom: 1; } /* IE < 8 */ add class=”clearfix” class to the parent, and remove overflow: hidden;
Apparently <fieldset> elements are supposed to generate block formatting contexts for their contents: The fieldset element is expected to establish a new block formatting context. That’s why floated elements don’t float out of them. I would guess that this has to do with the nature of fieldsets as visual form control groups. There could be … Read more
You can use CSS3’s flexible box layout to do this pretty intuitively: .parent-div { display: flex; } .text-div { white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; min-width: 0; } .icon-div { flex: 1; } Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/Blender/kXMz7/1/
div#container { height: 275px; width: 1000px; overflow: auto; white-space: nowrap; } div#container span.block { width: 300px; display: inline-block; } The trick here is only elements that behave as inline by default will behave properly when set to inline-block in Internet Explorer, so the inner containers need to be <span> instead of <div>.
This works good for me. I have divided the screen into two halfs: 20% and 80%: <div style=”width: 20%; float:left”> #left content in here </div> <div style=”width: 80%; float:right”> #right content in there </div>
display: table-cell is perfectly fine to use, with just one downside.. It doesn’t work in IE7 (or IE6, but who cares?): http://caniuse.com/#search=css-table If you don’t need to support IE7, then feel free to use it. IE7 still has some usage, but you should check your Analytics, and then make a decision. To answer your specific … Read more
