floating stacked variable height div containers in a 2 column layout

Submitted by pmnagel on Thu, 2011-12-29 12:01

Hi Guys, please help:
I have a basic layout using div tags with CSS. There's a header, a footer, with a left and right column in between. The left and right columns each have 3 stacked divs that should stay together, even if the height of the div tags change...

I'm having difficulty with the floating and clearing options to maintain the structure.

Here's the code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Floating Problem</title>
<style type="text/css">
#body {
	background-color: #CCC;
}
#wrapper {
	background-color: #999;
	width: 800px;

CSS - TextOverflow:auto for fixed width, does not expand the background color of div tag

Hi All,

My apologies if similar post already exists. I am creating one as I could not find any posts exactly matching the problem I am facing.

I have fixed width nested div tags with text that overflows. (refer sample_html-textoverflow.txt file, rename extension to .html). I am using Textoverflow:auto for displaying scrollbar. and it works fine as desired. But the background color for a div tag, is not getting overflowed along with the text.

Kindly help.

I am trying to have my navigation span the entire wrapper div content but keep the navigation links right justified, how would I go about doing this?

"Wrapping" div objects around another one

Hey there,

I wonder if it is possible to arrange several div elements in a way that they float around another div element like we know it from text that wraps around a div element.

As you can see in the attached image the text wraps nicely around the orange div element. The blue lines are the top and bottom borders of a row of div elements (and, as I haven't used any margin-right expressions, they reach until the very right end).

The thing is I cannot use any fixed declarations (like margin-right:50px), as I want the text containing div elements to be flexible.
