I'm needing to create CSS classes that can display content similar to this design image here: design concept
Obviously, the code statements themselves don't matter. But how can I create CSS that could wrap the containing content as seen in the image and have that work to n nested containers? I've been playing around with div tags and display: inline-block styling but nothing is working out.
Here is what I currently have, using flex-box. This is almost what I need except that the "rows" aren't setting their width to fit the text content as it just sets the width of everything to the largest width child... seems that this approach might not be possible.
.container {
display: inline-flex;
flex-direction: column;
padding-left: 15px;
}
.containerRow {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
justify-content: center;
height: 35px;
margin: 5px;
}
.dropContainer {
height: 70px;
border: 1px solid #ccc!important;
background-color: white;
color: black;
}
.purple {
background-color: #872A61;
color: white;
}
.green {
background-color: #478B26;
color: white;
}
<div class="container purple">
<div class="containerRow">
if (something == true) then
</div>
<div class="container green">
<div class="containerRow">
<div><b>where</b> something(x: Number, y:Number) <b>is</b></div>
</div>
<div class="dropContainer">
Some more stuff again
</div>
<div class="dropContainer">
Some more stuff again
</div>
<div class="containerRow">
<b>end</b>
</div>
</div>
<div class="containerRow">
<b>end</b>
</div>
</div>
Use margins or padding styles with percentages to achieve the nth term.

Basically, I have this user-customisable CSS-grid (node: width and height don't have limits, and I do not want it to have such) and it can be really really wide and/or really really high, and if that happens, the scrolling just stops somewhere and the elements not in the middle of the grid just get made inaccessible.
This is what I have at the moment and I got zero idea how to make it scroll to all parts of the grid
body {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
#board {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 26px
}
.tile {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: rgb(64, 64, 64);
background-color: lightgray;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center
}
<div id="game_div">
<div id="board">
<div class="tile"></div>
<div class="tile"></div>
<div class="tile"></div>
<div class="tile"></div>
<div class="tile"></div>
<!--
There are a lot more tiles that get added via .appendChild().
Imagine like a few thousand more tiles here.
-->
</div>
<!-- Irrelevant Minesweeper stuff -->
<button onclick="help()">Stuck?</button>
<p id="minecount" style="display:inline"></p>
</div>
PS: Before anyone links me to this, I have tried to understand it and it hasn't worked, so I am asking more specifically. (also that as well)
EDIT: Thank you Teemu, I had to add flex-wrap: wrap to the body ruleset
I have a screen that looks like this:
The text is at the top while the red section (VideoComponent) is at the bottom. I want the VideoComponent to appear on the left side while all the text should move towards the right. Like a flex box. Or like in 2 columns.
return (
<div>
<main className="content">
<div className="text">
In this section.....TEXT
<div className="video">
<VideoComponent />
</div>
</div>
</main>
</div>
);
I tried adding float right/left to the css but it does not make a difference.
.content{
padding-left: 280px;
padding-top: 100px;
background-color: white;
}
.buttons{
padding-top: 20px;
flex-direction: column;
display: flex;
width: 200px;
}
.heading{
font-size: 25px;
}
.text{
float: left;
}
.video{
float: right;
}
How else can I fix this? Here's a codesandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/vibrant-turing-tulc2?file=/src/VideoComponent.tsx
You could use Flexbox to achieve this. I know you're working with react, but this is just HTML and CSS. Maybe try something like this:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="text">
My text
</div>
<div class="image">
<img src="imageurl">
</div>
</div>
.wrapper {
display:flex
}
.text {
margin: 10px
}
https://codepen.io/pauladiniz/pen/abpxeLK
Set the "text" class in the css file to "display: flex;" this should automatically change the objects (the text and the video) to a row. Maybe float will cancel it out but i am not sure about that. Just try it out.
You didn't nested your elements properly.. your JSX should be like this below
<div>
<main className="content">
<div className="video">
<VideoComponent />
</div>
<div className="text">
In this section.....TEXT
</div>
</main>
</div>
Simply update with the below css.
.content{
padding-left: 280px;
padding-top: 100px;
background-color: white;
display:flex;
}
.buttons{
padding-top: 20px;
flex-direction: column;
display: flex;
width: 200px;
}
.heading{
font-size: 25px;
}
.text{
// float: left;
}
.video{
// float: right;
}
This problem will be reolved
The solution to the problem is very simple that you can use cross-browser too.
<main>
<div class="text">text goes here</div>
<div class="video">video here</div>
</main>
Now for the CSS part, you can do this
main{
display:flex;
}
main .text{
order:2;
}
main .video{
order:1;
}
and you can test it on cross-browser we have another CSS property too which is already used by ''Medi'' flex-direction but it does not support Firefox, So you can use "order" which is supported in all browsers.
I'm not sure how i gonna ask this, but here it goes, i'm training css and i'm literally copying some random layout, and i find this website where he's using a padding outside the div (pic1, pic2), this way his content keeps centralized, what i want to know is how can i do this, my way (pic3, pic4) as you can see the padding keeps inside the div (which holds my section producs) making the section not centralized.
pic1
pic2
pic3
pic4

<div className={styles.sectionHeader}>

I understand your objective, but you have to adjust the code.
With the flexbox approach, you can:
Use a flex-div to hold your items with: .sectionWithTopPick { display: flex; }
Inside it, use a div to hold the content, and tell the div how to fit the parent flex-box with flex-grow: 0; flex-shrink: 1; flex-basis: 25% (this tells to the inside div to never grow beyond 25%, but to shrink if necessary). This div also has the padding.
Select the first item with :fisrt-child and remove left-padding
Select the last item with :last-child and remove right-padding
Use another div to contain the item's contents, and make it's image fill 100% of the space.
Here a codepen with working solution
How you can see here the CSS box-model explain that padding and border are part of the html element.
You can also play here. So you can use margin if you want a space outside the div.
For align i can advise to use margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto;
I agree with Ale Macedo's answer but I'd make the following changes.
.eachItemSection {
flex-grow: 0;
flex-shrink: 1;
flex-basis: 25%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
padding: 2vh .5vw;
&:first-child {
padding-left: 1vw;
} &:last-child {
padding-right: 1vw;
}
is it possible to shrink and grow child HTML elements with just CSS. Here is an example below, I want to see how others would approach this. I have seen solutions with JQuery however wanted to know there is an easier way to do this.
<div class="your_custom_styling_here_for_resizing">
<div style="width: 400px; height: 400px; display: flex;">
<div style="height: 100px; background: #333333; flex: 1;"></div>
<div style="background: #cccccc; flex: 1;"></div>
</div>
</div>
An easier solution would be to create a class for those styles instead of using inline CSS, and for the new styles, then adding / removing / changing just classes from jquery.
You want a child element to scale to the parent elements dimensions? If you do then just do the following:
.parent {
border: 5px solid red;
}
.child {
width: inherit;
height: auto;
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">Expand or shrink your screen to see me scale to my parent</div>
</div>
}
I am having trouble making my columns the same height. I would simply like to make the columns the same height. Here is my code:
HTML:
<main>
<div id="left-column">
<div id="facets"></div>
</div>
<div id="right-column">
<div id="stats"></div>
<div id="hits"></div>
<div id="pagination"></div>
</div>
</main>
CSS:
#left-column {
float: left;
width: 25%;
background-color: #fff;
border-right: 1px solid #cdcdcd;
}
#right-column {
width: 75%;
margin-left: 25%;
}
The issue I'm having is that because the id's of each of the divs dynamically generate content, the heights of each columns will be based on what are inside those divs. Is there any way to set the column to the height of whatever is longer than the other column? Or is there a way to set the column height to something fixed? I have tried to add height: 1000px for each of the ids but that doesn't even seem to apply to the CSS. Any help would be appreciated.
There are two big options: Use Javascript, or don't use Javascript.
If you use Javascript, assuming you use a library which helps certain portions of your code become cross-browser without a lot of work on your part, then it's almost guaranteed to work on any browser that supports it.
Big Fall Back: If someone has Javascript disabled it doesn't look good.
Not Javascript
Recently CSS has gotten a new display type, flex. Now, it should be said, based on Can I Use, IE 11 has messed up support for flexbox, but a majority of browsers support it (85% support it without prefixes, and that includes most mobile browsers too!)
.flex-container {
display: -webkit-box;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
}
#left-column {
-webkit-box-flex: 0;
-webkit-flex: 0 0 25%;
-ms-flex: 0 0 25%;
flex: 0 0 25%;
border-right: 1px solid #CDCDCD;
}
#right-column {
-webkit-box-flex: 1;
-webkit-flex: 1 1;
-ms-flex: 1 1;
flex: 1 1;
padding-left: 5px;
}
<main class="flex-container">
<div id="left-column">
<div id="facets">test</div>
</div>
<div id="right-column">
<div id="stats" test></div>
<div id="hits">test</div>
<div id="pagination">test</div>
</div>
</main>
Via CSS and to include older browsers like IE8 you have display:table/table-cell.
main {
display: table;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
}
#left-column {
display: table-cell;
width: 25%;
background-color: #fff;
border-right: solid ;
}
#right-column {
display: table-cell;
width: 75%;
}
<main>
<div id="left-column">
<div id="facets">facets</div>
</div>
<div id="right-column">
<div id="stats">stats</div>
<div id="hits">hits</div>
<div id="pagination">pagination</div>
</div>
</main>
To include very old browser, you may also see http://alistapart.com/article/fauxcolumns a very solid technics since you columns have fixed width
If you want to restrict the height of each column to a limit. you can use max-height and min-height rule. But if you want to do it using Javascript. Here is the algorithm assuming that you call this function after your columns have had their content data filled in
function setHeight() {
var leftCol = document.querySelector("#left-column");
var rightCol = document.querySelector("#right-column");
var largerHeight = Math.max(leftColHeight.getBoundingClientRect().height, rightColHeight.getBoundingClientRect().height);
leftCol.style.height = largerHeight + "px";
rightCol.style.height = largerHeight + "px";
}
you may try and check my code I have use display flex to do what you want done .. check this link https://jsfiddle.net/qpfrtqh2/1/
.parent{
display: flex;
}
You can get help by using this code.
You need to use flex css.
<ul class="list">
<li class="list__item"><!-- content --></li>
<li class="list__item"><!-- content --></li>
<!-- other items -->
</ul>
and css as like below.
.list
{
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
-webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;
-ms-flex-wrap: wrap;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.list__item
{
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
}
You need some javascript code for fallback of flex css.
Try this (I added some background-colors just to see result)
main{ overflow: hidden;
}
#left-column {
float: left;
width: 25%;
background-color: red;
border-right: 1px solid #cdcdcd;
margin-bottom: -99999px;
padding-bottom: 99999px;
}
#right-column {
background-color: green;
width: 75%;
margin-left: 25%;
margin-bottom: -99999px;
padding-bottom: 99999px;
}
<main>
<div id="left-column">
<div id="facets">aa</div>
</div>
<div id="right-column">
<div id="stats">bb</div>
<div id="hits">cc</div>
<div id="pagination"></div>
</div>
</main>
There is no need to use javascript for that.
Just leverage standard table display in CSS.
