
Is there a way to not have a newline inserted before a `div` without using `float: left` on the previous element? 

Maybe some tag on the `div` that will just put it to the right?

No newline after div?

What does the following CSS rule do:

What does the CSS rule &quot;clear: both&quot; do?

I have to implement the following circle and line combination in CSS and I am looking for pointers on how to implement this effectively. The circles and lines should look like this:

![Ideal image prototype][1]


  [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/u5KKX.png

I am able to implement the circles as such:

    span.step {
      background: #ccc;
      border-radius: 0.8em;
      -moz-border-radius: 0.8em;
      -webkit-border-radius: 0.8em;
      color: #1f79cd;
      display: inline-block;
      font-weight: bold;
      line-height: 1.6em;
      margin-right: 5px;
      text-align: center;
      width: 1.6em; 
    }

but the lines are tricky for me to understand.

The size of the circle changes depending on whether it is the active step or not, and the color of the line connecting the circles changes as well depending on status. How would I accomplish this?

Creating CSS3 Circles connected by lines

Say you have a `div`, give it a definite `width` and put elements in it, in my case an `img` and another `div`. 

The idea is that the content of the container `div` will cause the container `div` to stretch out, and be a background for the content. But when I do this, the containing `div` shrinks to fit the non-floating objects, and the floating objects will be either all the way out, or half out, half in, and not have any bearing on the size of the big `div`.

Why is this? Is there something I&#39;m missing, and how can I get floated items to stretch out the `height` of a containing `div`?

Floating elements within a div, floats outside of div. Why?

I have floated images and inset boxes at the top of a container using `float:right` (or `left`) many times. Now, I need to float a `div` to the bottom right corner of another `div` with the normal text wrap that you get with `float` (text wrapped above and to the left only).

I thought this must be relatively easy even though `float` has no `bottom` value but I haven&#39;t been able to do it using a number of techniques and searching the web hasn&#39;t come up with anything other than using absolute positioning but this doesn&#39;t give the correct word wrap behaviour.

I had thought this would be a very common design but apparently it isn&#39;t. If nobody has a suggestion I&#39;ll have to break my text up into separate boxes and align the `div` manually but that is rather precarious and I&#39;d hate to have to do it on every page that needs it.

Firefox float bug? How do I get my float:right on the same line?

I have a small problem. I am trying to align two divs side by side using CSS, however, I would like the center div to be positioned horizontally central in the page, I achieved this by using:

    #page-wrap { margin 0 auto; }

That&#39;s worked fine. The second div I would like positioned to the left side of the central page wrap but I can&#39;t manage to do this using floats although I&#39;m sure it is possible.

I would like to push the red div up alongside the white div.

Here is my current CSS concerning these two divs, sidebar being the red div and page-wrap being the white div:

    #sidebar {
		width: 200px;
		height: 400px;
		background: red;
		float: left;
	}
						
    #page-wrap {
		margin: 0 auto;
		width: 600px;
		background: #ffffff;
		height: 400px;
    }


Aligning two divs side-by-side

I want a div with a fixed width image on the left and a variable width div with a background color, which should extend its width 100% on my device.
I can&#39;t stop the second div from overflowing my fixed div.

When I add overflow:hidden at the variable width div it just jumps under the photo, on the next row.

How can I fix this the right way (i.e. without hacks or margin-left, since I need to make the site responsive later with media queries and I have to change the image with other resolution images for each device)?

How do I get the bars to the bottom instead of the top? Now they&#39;re sticking to the top of the container (`#bars`) but I want them sticking to the bottom.

As you can see, I don&#39;t know the height of the highest bar, so I don&#39;t know the height of the container.

These q+a don&#39;t help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1022795/vertically-align-floating-divs, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4541787/vertically-align-floating-divs

Should be simple, right? If it helps: it only has to work in decent browsers.

PS. Number of bars is variable (not in the example) and their heights are. Only their widths are static. Positioning `absolute` won&#39;t help, because the container div doesn&#39;t have measurements.

How to vertically align floating divs to the bottom?

## My Question(s) ##

 1. Are any of these methods preferred by a professional web designer?

 2. Are any of these methods prefereed by a web browser when drawing the website?

 3. Is this all just personal preference?

 4. Are there other techniques I&#39;m missing?

*Note: Above questions are in regards to designing a multi-column layout*

----------


float:left;
----------

http://jsfiddle.net/CDe6a/

![float:left image][1]

This is the method I always use when creating column layouts, and it seems to work just fine. The parent does collapse on itself though, so you just need to remember to `clear:both;` afterwards. Another *con* that I just found was the inability to align text vertically.

display:inline;
---------------

This seems to correct the problem of the collapsing parent, but adds whitespace.

http://jsfiddle.net/CDe6a/1/

![display:inline image][2]

Removing whitespace from html seems to be the easiest fix this problem, but is not desired if you are really picky about your html.

http://jsfiddle.net/CDe6a/2/

![no html whitespace image][3]

display:inline-block;
---------------------

Seems to behave exactly like `display:inline;`.

http://jsfiddle.net/CDe6a/3/

![display:inline-block image][2]

display:table-cell;
-------------------

http://jsfiddle.net/CDe6a/4/

![display:table-cell image][4]

Works perfect.

My thoughts:
------------

I&#39;m sure I&#39;m missing a ton of stuff, like certain exceptions that will break the layout but, `display:table-cell;` seems to work the best, and I think I will start replacing `float:left;` as I always seem to mess up on `clear:both;`. I&#39;ve read many articles and blogs about this on the web, but none of them give me a definite answer on what I should use when laying out my website.

float:left; vs display:inline; vs display:inline-block; vs display:table-cell;

Although elements like `&lt;div&gt;`s normally grow to fit their contents, using the `float` property can cause a startling problem for CSS newbies: **If floated elements have non-floated parent elements, the parent will collapse.**

For example:
 

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 1&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 2&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

The parent div in this example will **not expand** to contain its floated children - it will appear to have `height: 0`.

# How do you solve this problem? #

*I would like to create an exhaustive list of solutions here. If you&#39;re aware of cross-browser compatibility issues, please point them out.*  

## Solution 1  

Float the parent.

  

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 1&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 2&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

**Pros**: Semantic code.  
**Cons**: You may not always want the parent floated. Even if you do, do you float the parents&#39; parent, and so on? Must you float every ancestor element?

## Solution 2

Give the parent an explicit height.

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div style=&quot;height: 300px;&quot;&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 1&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 2&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

**Pros**: Semantic code.  
**Cons**: Not flexible - if the content changes or the browser is resized, the layout will break.

## Solution 3  

Append a &quot;spacer&quot; element inside the parent element, like this:

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 1&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 2&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;spacer&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

    

**Pros**: Straightforward to code.  
**Cons**: Not semantic; the spacer div exists only as a layout hack.

## Solution 4

Set parent to `overflow: auto`.

 

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div style=&quot;overflow: auto;&quot;&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 1&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Div 2&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

**Pros**: Doesn&#39;t require extra div.  
**Cons**: Seems like a hack - that&#39;s not the `overflow` property&#39;s stated purpose.

How do you keep parents of floated elements from collapsing?

I would like to ask how height and float work. I have an outer div and an inner div that has content in it. Its height may vary depending on the content of the inner div but it seems that my inner div will overflow its outside div. What would be the proper way to do it?

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

            &lt;div style=&quot;margin:0 auto;width: 960px; min-height: 100px; background-color:orange&quot;&gt;
        	    &lt;div style=&quot;width:500px; height:200px; background-color:black; float:right&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;/div&gt;

Why doesn&#39;t the height of a container element increase if it contains floated elements?

I want to have two items on the same line using `float: left` for the item on the left.

I have no problems achieving this alone. The problem is, I want the two items to **stay** on the same line *even when you resize the browser very small*. You know... like how it was with tables.

The goal is to keep the item on the right from wrapping *no matter what*.

How to I tell the browser using CSS that I would rather **stretch the containing `div`** than wrap it so the the `float: right;` div is below the `float: left;` `div`?

     +---------------+  +------------------------/
     | float: left;  |  | float: right;          \
     |               |  |                        /
     |               |  |content stretching      \   Screen Edge
     |               |  |the div off the screen  /  &lt;---

                                                 /

How do I keep CSS floats in one line?

I want a div to be always at the right of its parent div, so I use `float:right`. It works.

But I also want it to not affect other content when inserted, so I use `position:absolute`.

Now `float:right` doesn&#39;t work, my div is always at the left of its parent div. How can I move it to the right?

Float right and position absolute doesn&#39;t work together

Is it possible to stack up multiple DIVs like:

    &lt;div&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

So that all those inner DIVs have the same X and Y position? By default they all go below each other increasing the Y position by the height of the last previous DIV.

I have a feeling some sort of float or display or other trick could bite?

EDIT: The parent DIV has position relative, so, using position absolute does not seem to work.

Stacking DIVs on top of each other?

For example, I have some class .article, and I want to view this class as grid view. So I applied this style:

    .article{
      width:100px;
      height:100px;
      background:#333;
      float:left;
      margin:5px;
    }

That style will make the .article look tiled/grid. It&#39;s work fine with fixed height. But if I want to set the height to auto (automatically stretch according to the data within it), the grid look nasty.

How to make a div with no content have a width?

In CSS the `overflow:hidden` is set on parent containers in order to allow it to expand with the height of their floating children.  

But it also has another interesting feature when combined with `margin: auto`...

If PREVIOUS sibling is a floating element, it will actually appear juxtapose to it. That is if the sibling is `float:left` then the container with `float:none overflow:hidden` will appear to the right of the sibling, no newline - just as if it was floating in the normal flow. If the previous sibling is `float:right` then the container will appear to the left of the sibling. Resizing this container will accurately show it centered inbetween the floating elements. Say if you have two previous siblings, one `float:left` the other `float:right`, the container will appear centered inbetween the two.

So here&#39;s the **problem**...

 

&gt; **How do I maintain that type of layout WITHOUT masking children?**

Googling all over the web gives me ways on how to `clear:both` and expand a container... but I can&#39;t find any alternative solution to maintaining the left/right previous-child centering. If you make the container `overflow:visible` then the container suddenly ignores the layout flow of the floating elements and appears layered ontop of the floating element.


So **question**:

I have to have the container `overflow:hidden` to preserve layout... 

how can I make it so the children aren&#39;t masked? I need to have the child absolutely positioned relative to the parent outside the container.

OR

How do I `overflow:visible` so I can absolutely position a child relative to the parent outside the container... YET preserve the sibling float-like-layout-flow?

      &lt;input style=&quot;float: left; font-size: 0.5em;&quot; type=&quot;button&quot;   onclick=&quot;addTiny(0,&#39;Question_Text&#39;); return false;&quot; value=&quot;&amp;#x25BC;&quot; title=&quot;Editor&quot; /&gt;   
      &lt;input style=&quot;float: left; font-size: 0.5em;&quot; type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;remTiny(0,&#39;Question_Text&#39;); return false;&quot; value=&quot;&amp;#x25B2;&quot; title=&quot;Hide&quot; /&gt;   
    
      &lt;div class=&quot;adm&quot;&gt;

          abc
        &lt;/textarea&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

I need for element2 to line up next to element1 with about 10 pixels of padding between the two. The problem is that element2&#39;s width can change depending on content and browser (font size, etc.) so it&#39;s not always lined up perfectly with element1 (I can&#39;t just apply a margin-right and move it over).

I also cannot change the markup. 

Is there a uniform way to line them up? I tried margin-right with a percentage, I tried a negative margin on element1 to bring element2 closer (but couldn&#39;t get it to work).

How to align two elements on the same line without changing HTML

I have been attempting to split a div into two columns using CSS, but I have not managed to get it working yet.  My basic structure is as follows:

      &lt;div id=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
         &lt;div id=&quot;object1&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

         &lt;div id=&quot;object3&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
         &lt;div id=&quot;object4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

If I attempt to float the right and left divs to their respective positions (right and left), it seems to ignore the content div&#39;s background-color.  And other code that I have tried from various websites doesn&#39;t seem to be able to translate to my structure.

I want the outer `div`, which is black to wrap its `div`s floating within it. I dont want to use `style=&#39;height: 200px` in the `div` with the `outerdiv` id as I want it to be automatically the height of its content (eg, the floating `div`s).

    &lt;div id=&#39;outerdiv&#39; style=&#39;border: 1px solid black;background-color: black;&#39;&gt;
	&lt;div style=&#39;width=300px;border: red 1px dashed;float: left;&#39;&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;

	&lt;div style=&#39;width=300px;border: red 1px dashed;float: right;&#39;&gt;
		&lt;p&gt;zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

How to achieve this?

Make outer div be automatically the same height as its floating content

I have the following markup:

    &lt;li id=&quot;CN2787&quot;&gt;
      &lt;img class=&quot;fav_star&quot; src=&quot;images/fav.png&quot;&gt;
      &lt;span&gt;Text, text and more text&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;/li&gt;

I want it so that if the text wraps, it doesn&#39;t go into the &#39;column&#39; for the image. I know I can do it with a `table` (which I was doing) but this is not workable for [this reason][1].

I&#39;ve tried the following without success:

    li span {width: 100px; margin-left: 20px}
    .fav_star {width: 20px}

I also tried `float: right`.

Thanks.

EDIT: I want it to look like this:

    IMG   Text starts here and keeps going... and
          wrap starts here.

Not like this:

    IMG   Text starts here and keeps going... and 
    wrap starts in the space left for the image.

CSS to stop text wrapping under image

I want to have a row of divs (cells) that don&#39;t wrap if the browser is too narrow to fit them.

I&#39;ve searched Stack, and couldn&#39;t find a working answer to what I think should be a simple css question.

The cells have specified width. However I don&#39;t want to specify the width of the row, the width should automatically be the width of its child cells. 

If the viewport is too narrow to accomodate the rows, then the div should overflow with scrollbars.

Please provide your answer as working code snippet, as I&#39;ve tried a lot of the solutions I&#39;ve seen elsewhere (like specify width: 100% and they don&#39;t seem to work).

I&#39;m looking for a HTML/CSS only solution, no JavaScript.

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    .row {
      float: left;
      border: 1px solid yellow;
      width: 100%;
      overflow: auto;
    }
    .cell {
      float: left;
      border: 1px solid red;
      width: 200px;
      height: 100px;
    }

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div class=&quot;row&quot;&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;cell&quot;&gt;a&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;cell&quot;&gt;b&lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class=&quot;cell&quot;&gt;c&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;



&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

At the moment I&#39;m actually hard coding the width of the row to a really big number.



Stop floating divs from wrapping

I want to have 3 divs aligned inside a container div, something like this:

    [[LEFT]       [CENTER]        [RIGHT]]

Container div is 100% wide (no set width), and center div should remain in center after resizing the container.

So I set:

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    #container{width:100%;}
    #left{float:left;width:100px;}
    #right{float:right;width:100px;}
    #center{margin:0 auto;width:100px;}

But it becomes:

    [[LEFT]       [CENTER]              ]
                                  [RIGHT]

Any tips?

How to align 3 divs (left/center/right) inside another div?

I have infinite number of divs of a 100px width, which can fit into a 250px width parent.  Regardless of height, I need the divs to be displayed in rows, as shown in the image.  I&#39;ve tried resolving this, but the div height seems to be screwing it up.

CSS Floating Divs At Variable Heights

I need to center html content inside a div class=&quot;partners&quot; (top div with 2 images). As you can see from the image below (it floats left instead of center of the div):

![enter image description here][1]


This is my html code:

    &lt;div id=&quot;partners&quot;&gt;

CSS center content inside div

I don&#39;t know if it&#39;s a common problem, but I can&#39;t find the solution in web so far.
I would like to have two divs wrapped inside another div, however these two divs inside have to be align the same level (for example: left one takes 20%width of the wrappedDiv, right one take another 80%). To achieve this purpose, I used the following example CSS. However, now the wrap DIV didn&#39;t wrap those divs all. The wrap Div has a small height than those two divs contained inside. How could I make sure that the wrap Div has the largest height as the contained divs? Thanks!!!

how to make a div to wrap two float divs inside?

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;Left&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div style=&quot;float: right;&quot;&gt;Right&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;div style=&quot;clear: both; margin-top: 200px;&quot;&gt;Main Data&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;

Why is the `margin:top` for &#39;Main Data&#39; not working in the code above?

margin-top not working with clear: both

I know that CSS only supports left and right values for the float property, but is there a technique to implement a floating top? I will try to explain. I have the following code:

    &lt;div style=&quot;float:left&quot;&gt;
    &lt;div style=&quot;float:left&quot;&gt;
    &lt;div style=&quot;float:left&quot;&gt;
    ....

With this code every div is floated to left until the right limit of the page is reached. I want to do the same thing but vertically, so that every div is placed at the bottom of the previous one and then, when the bottom limit of the page is reached, a new column is created. Is there a way to do this using only CSS (and maybe editing the HTML code)?


How can I make a float top with CSS?

I&#39;m implementing pagination, and it needs to be centered. The problem is that the links need to be displayed as block, so they need to be floated. But then, `text-align: center;` doesn&#39;t work on them. I could achieve it by giving the wrapper div padding of left, but every page will have a different number of pages, so that wouldn&#39;t work. Here&#39;s my code:

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    .pagination {
      text-align: center;
    }
    .pagination a {
      display: block;
      width: 30px;
      height: 30px;
      float: left;
      margin-left: 3px;
      background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
    }
    .pagination a.last {
      width: 90px;
      background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-last.png);
    }
    .pagination a.first {
      width: 60px;
      background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-first.png);
    }

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div class=&#39;pagination&#39;&gt;
      &lt;a class=&#39;first&#39; href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;First&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;3&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;a class=&#39;last&#39; href=&#39;#&#39;&gt;Last&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;!-- end: .pagination --&gt;

How do I center floated elements?

Every time I try to do something seemingly-simple in CSS, it doesn&#39;t work.

I have a content div that contains a 460x160 image. All I want to do is position the image at the bottom-right corner and wrap my text around it.

    &lt;div id=&quot;contents&quot;&gt;
        &lt;img src=&quot;...&quot; /&gt;
        text text text text text text ...
    &lt;/div&gt;

So I want it to look like:

    ------------------
    | text text text |
    | text text text |
    | text text -----|
    | text text |    |
    ------------------

Doing it with a top-left or top-right image is cake:

    #contents img { float:right; }

    ------------------
    | text text |    |
    | text text -----|
    | text text text |
    | text text text |
    ------------------

Now how do I push that to the bottom?
The best I&#39;ve come up with so far are:

    #contents img { float:right; margin-top: 90%} // really needs to be 100%-160px

    ------------------
    | text text      |
    | text text      |
    | text text -----|
    | text text |    |
    ------------------

In this case the text does not print in the margin, so there is white space above the image.

    #contents { position:relative; }
    #contents img { position:absolute; right:0; bottom:0; }

    -or-

    // move the img tag under the text in the html and:
    #contents img { float:right; margin-top:-160; }

    ------------------
    | text text text |
    | text text text |
    | text text -----|
    | text text | te |
    ------------------

In this case the text prints over or under the image.

So... how can I accomplish this?


How can I wrap text around a bottom-right div?

How can I make div &#39;left&#39; and &#39;right&#39; look like columns side by side? 

I know I can use float:left on them and that will work... but on step 5 and 6 in here http://www.barelyfitz.com/screencast...s/positioning/
the guy says it is possible, I can&#39;t get it work though...

Code:

    &lt;style&gt;
    div.left {
        background:blue;
        height:200px;
        width:300px;
    }
    
    div.right{
        background:green;
        height:300px;
        width:100px;
    }
    
    .container{
        background:black;
        height:400px;
        width:450px;
    }
    &lt;/style&gt;
    
    &lt;div class=&quot;container&quot;&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;
                LEFT
            &lt;/div&gt;
            &lt;div class=&quot;right&quot;&gt;
                RIGHT
            &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

Div side by side without float

I have a bunch of `float: left` elements and some are SLIGHTLY bigger than others. I want the newline to break and have the images float all the way to the left instead of getting stuck on a bigger element.

Here is the page I&#39;m talking about : [link][1]

If they are all the same size if works beautifully : [link][2]

Thanks! (I&#39;d rather not get into javascript or server side scripting if I don&#39;t have to)

Floating Div Over An Image

I need to create a single line containing a variable amount of (floating?) divs: the container dimension is fixed, and it is supposed to add an horizontal scrollbar when needed, never wrapping.

I tried the following, but it doesn&#39;t work: it wraps instead.

    div#sub {
    	background-image:url(&quot;../gfx/CorniceSotto.png&quot;);
    	width:760px;
    	height:190px;
    }
    div#sub &gt; div#ranking {
    	position:relative;
    	top:42px;
    	left:7px;
    	width:722px;
    	height:125px;
    	overflow-x:auto;
    	overflow-y:hidden;
    }
    div#sub &gt; div#ranking &gt; div.player {
    	float:left;
    	width:67px;
    	height:120px;
    	margin-left:5px;
    	background-color:#f3e1bb;
    }

I&#39;ve tried a few things (inline,table-cell,etc.) but they all failed.

Can this be done? If so, how?

CSS non-wrapping floating divs

How to horizontally center a floating element of a variable width?

Edit: I already have this working using a containing `div` for the floating element and specifying a `width` for the container (then use `margin: 0 auto;` for the container). I just wanted to know whether it can be done without using a containing element or at least without having to specify a `width` for the containing element.

How to horizontally center a floating element of a variable width?

I’ve been working on this the whole day but don’t come up with a solution. I have 3 columns in one row in a container.

1: right content – pull-right

2: navigation – pull-left

3: main content

What it looks on big screens:

    ------------------------------------------------
    |   Menu  |      Content      |  Right Content |
    ------------------------------------------------


What it should look like on smaller screens:

    ----------------------------
    |  Menu  |  Right Content  |
    |        |------------------
    |        |  Content        |
    ----------------------------


What it looks like now:

    ------------------
    | Right Content  |
    ------------------
    | Menu | Content |
    ------------------


I think it’s just a simple floating problem. But I tried out nearly all possibilities.
