Aligning multiple div boxes horizontally and vertically - javascript

I'm using https://almsaeedstudio.com/preview theme which gives some brilliant boxes layout and social widget boxes layout which I want to use in my project.
Refer to simple box screenshot
and social widget box
.
I'm trying to arrange multiple simple boxes horizontally where each of the simple box can contain multiple social widget boxes.
Refer to this screenshot for more clarity:
.
I tried playing with the exiting simple boxes and social widget boxes code and come up with this snippet.
I have created this plunker, somehow css is not getting loaded properly.

But its not working. Can anyone please help me how to accomplish this ?
P.S.: I have searched on internet and found similar threads but none is working for me.
Horizontally align div without float
I'm still a beginner in CSS and would really appreciate if I can get some help here. I'm breaking my head on this for a long time.
Update
I think it makes sense to clearly write out the actual issues and try to solve them one by one.
Horizontal boxes are not aligned on the same row if the inner social widget box is collapsed/expanded. How can I ensure the height of the horizontal box is fixed irrespective of the inner social widget box height ? Refer to screenshot for same.
There are some answers which mention the use of display: float:left; but my issue is the variable width which actually ensures all horizontal boxes on the same row.
<div class="" style="width:2050px;">
How do I ensure the width:2050px; to increase dynamically as I will be adding inner boxes on fly. P.S.: I'm using angularjs for ui. Is there any CSS trick which is independent of the width:2050px; That way there will be no dependency on the total width calculation.
How to fix the height of inner social widget box ? The inner social widget box overflows the actual horizontol container. how can I fix this ?
Sharing an image of what actually I'm trying to accomplish. .
In short I want to accomplish point 4 with this theme's existing boxes and social widget boxes. If there is any other better way of doing this, please share the same.
In case anything is not clear, please feel free to mention it in comment. I'll update the question accordingly.
Thanks
Update 2:
I think same height columns is what making this problem more complicated. What I can do is having a scroll bar inside horizontol box which can have multiple social widgets boxes. That way we can have a fixed height for each of the horizontol column.
Update 3:
While zer00ne# has provided one solution which is based on Flex. I have read on some forums that it doesn;t work on all browsers. Since my web-page is going to be mobile friendly, I;m more inclined towards achieving my desired results using general CSS techniques.
In path of achieving my result, I created following version http://plnkr.co/edit/awVmJWJo0AdrQvdbXG2y?p=preview using this SO thread. Following is screenshot of same:
Now I'm facing one issue of text getting out of inner social widget box. I need some help on this thing.
In addition to that, can people take a review of these if this solution is any better or not ?
Thanks


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FLEXBOX SOLUTION<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Here is the REAL SOLUTION to the ORIGINAL QUESTION if anyone is actually interested.
dark_shadow:
While zer00ne# has provided one solution which is based on Flex.
Problem resolved see my demos below, it speaks for itself. I have no idea why starikovs is getting upvotes at all when there is clearly no solution provided.
I had to recreate the page because the extra classless <div>s you placed inside the markup was confusing. The significant change was adding flexbox to the layout. I used two flexbox containers, one that controlled the two columns .flexRow and another inside of each column to control the widgetboxes, .flexCol. Those classless <div>s are combined into a <section class="colWrap" I added intrinsic measurements so that your layout isn't stuck at a fixed width of 2050px, you'll still need to adjust both .box to an intrinsic measurement, 1000px fixed is going to give grief in the future. The changes will be annotated when I get back. Unless of course this isn't what you wanted?
LAST to the LAST UPDATE
>>>>>>>>>>PLUNKER<<<<<<<<<<
EDIT
Just add a fixed height to .colWrap, suggest 100vh to 150vh
I checked out the height of both columns and they are in fact identical down to the decimal. See the screenshots:
Column 1
Column 2
OLD
You just need everything aligned, correct? Ok, look here please: http://embed.plnkr.co/MRI69qLoTkiL9F68g54M/preview
I added this to the <head>
<!DOCTYPE html>

UPDATE
Added the script as well. It's located before the closing </body> tag.

You probably don't need all of them, but the essential ones are:
bootstrap.min.css
font-awesome.min.css
jQuery-2.1.4.min.js
bootstrap.min.js
app.min.js
jquery.slimscroll.min.js
There's a lot of relative URLs (ex. ../dist/img/photo2.png), so I added the following to the top of the <head>:
<base href="https://almsaeedstudio.com/themes/AdminLTE/">
The majority of these external files are located at that base url. If the download package didn't properly provide adequate assets, I always go to the source of the site's demo. Frequently the developer(s) neglect the differences between the dist and the demo.
UPDATE
As I understand the problem is that the layout needs to be properly aligned with widgetboxes or in the absence of widgetboxes. I don't think using display:none on widgetboxes is the way this template was designed. Consider the following annotated excerpts from the file, app.min.js
Excerpts from the AdminLTE script, app.min.js

† This code is skipped over
ᵃ The developer implies that this app is not a complete solution but a complete solution is available to buy.
ᵇ The boxwidgets collapse and height should adjust accordingly.
ᶜ The boxwidgets can be removed and height should be adjusted accordingly.
ᵈ The function boxRefresh() is a public method I believe. It could be used after an addition or subtraction of a widget I suppose.
I'm not the best at interpreting third party plugins, so any extra observations and/or corrections are welcome.
LAST UPDATE
I got it so when any section is collapsed, they will slide up rather than down. As for the 2 main columns, they behave as they should and if the first column is actually removed, then the second column will take the first column's place.


The new way of aligning is to use flexbox. Here's a simple example to show the power:
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper {
display: flex;
}
Now your divs inside .wrapper are aligned in a row.
BTW, you can use Autoprefixer to get the right browser prefixes.
Flexbox is supported by all the major browsers: http://caniuse.com/#search=flexbox (with prefixes)
With flexbox you can align items as you want simply, aligning them vertically in the center, horizontally in the center, etc.


You can use display: flex, read more: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
P.S. But you need use prefixes for old browsers


You could use float to position the boxes horizontally. I forked your Plunker and changed the .box from display: inline-block; to float: left;: http://plnkr.co/edit/Woo31pPiHi4HcvXZ9NXE?p=preview


After reading your question and looking over the comments I see the theme you are using has (or you have added) twitter bootstrap. I am not sure why you wouldn't use its grid system based on the layout you are trying to achieve. Looking at the theme link you provided I see this layout which contains 4 horizontally aligned widgets which should be more than enough for what you are trying to achieve.
<section class="content">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<!-- Column 1, example widget code below -->
<div class="info-box">
<span class="info-box-icon bg-aqua"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i></span>
<div class="info-box-content">
<span class="info-box-text">Messages</span>
<span class="info-box-number">1,410</span>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Next widget underneath would go here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<!-- Column 2, add widgets in here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<!-- Column 3, add widgets in here -->
</div>
<div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<!-- Column 4, add widgets in here -->
</div>
</div>
</section>
If I am misunderstanding the question please let me know. Hope that helps.
EDIT #2 - Added some CSS and Fiddle link
Based on your feedback here is how I would handle the multiple columns
CSS
.cust-table {
display: table;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.cust-tr {
display: table-row;
}
.cust-td {
border-collapse: collapse;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
background: pink;
border: 1px solid gray;
min-width: 100px;
}
HTML
<div class="cust-table">
<div class="cust-tr">
<div class="cust-td">
<!-- Column 1, example widget code below -->
<div class="info-box">
<span class="info-box-icon bg-aqua"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i></span>
<div class="info-box-content">
<span class="info-box-text">Messages</span>
<span class="info-box-number">1,410</span>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Next widget underneath would go here -->
</div>
<div class="cust-td">
<p>Its all bang bang bloddy bang to me!</p>
</div>
<div class="cust-td">
<p>This is another column with text just for fun</p>
</div>
<div class="cust-td">
<p>This is another column with more excitement then the last column. Dont believe me?</p>
</div>

This way if you end up with 20 columns they would all show horizontally. Depending on how wide you want them to show you could use min-width so they wouldn't end up too squished. Here is a JS.Fiddle link if you want to play around with the layout.

Bootstrap modal window won't open because of interference with other elements

I can't seem to figure out why bootstrap's modal window isn't popping up.
I've looking into other similar questions and I still can't get it to work.
I've tried the process of elimination and try to eliminate all my scripts (except the bootstrap script) and it still won't open. Same with my CSS files. I also had inputted manual code for a modal window (before I incorporated bootstrap) so I was worried that the id="modal" from other modals would interfere. I deleted those too and nothing worked.
Here is my codepen, I've commented the sections the modal window code starts: https://codepen.io/eylenkim/pen/KKwMPLm

There are 2 separate issues that are preventing the modal from showing up.
1) The first issue is with your code
The bootstrap library you use returns 404.
How to check if it's happening for you?
Open your browser's inspector, and press CTRL+SHIFT+I
You will see:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () eylenkim/fullpage/bootstrap-4.3.1-dist/css/bootstrap.css
In fact, this happens for a lot of your relative URLs.
Solution
Replace links to Bootstrap libraries with working ones, eg. from https://getbootstrap.com/
The ones I used in my testing of your code:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Vkoo8x4CGsO3+Hhxv8T/Q5PaXtkKtu6ug5TOeNV6gBiFeWPGFN9MuhOf23Q9Ifjh" crossorigin="anonymous">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.slim.min.js" integrity="sha384-J6qa4849blE2+poT4WnyKhv5vZF5SrPo0iEjwBvKU7imGFAV0wwj1yYfoRSJoZ+n" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/popper.js#1.16.0/dist/umd/popper.min.js" integrity="sha384-Q6E9RHvbIyZFJoft+2mJbHaEWldlvI9IOYy5n3zV9zzTtmI3UksdQRVvoxMfooAo" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-wfSDF2E50Y2D1uUdj0O3uMBJnjuUD4Ih7YwaYd1iqfktj0Uod8GCExl3Og8ifwB6" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
See gist for minimum code sample for a modal here: https://codepen.io/edwin-chua/pen/rNaLOEg
Once you fix the link problem, you will run into the second issue.
2) The second issue is with your stylesheet
Once you fixed your code as I suggested, you get a dark overlay with no modal.
Removing the reference to https://eylenkim.github.io/ArtByEylen/StyleSheet.css allows the modal to show up, so something in here is interfering with the modal's css.
Here is a working pen: https://codepen.io/edwin-chua/pen/QWwEyyZ
Separate Problem
You seem to have imported some libraries twice, once in the Codepen UI, and once in the HTML file. This will cause you debugging headaches. Make sure you only import them once. Since you are building an entire webpage, I suggest putting all of it in the HTML file.
also see JS tab
And
Further Comments
This section of code seems to be for closing the modal? If so, it probably isn't required, as Bootstrap automatically binds the click events.
<!--Modal - Dialog Boxes -->
<script type="text/javascript"> const modals = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.modal'));
const triggers = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.trigger'));
var closeButton = document.querySelector(".close-button");
//if a trigger is clicked then...
for (const trigger of triggers) {
trigger.addEventListener('click', toggleModal);
}
// .. then toggle it's modal
function toggleModal(event) { event.target.closest('.trigger').querySelector('.modal').classList.toggle("show-modal"); }
// check if the clicked element is a modal, or in a modal
function windowOnClick(event) {
if (modals.some((modal) => modal.contains(event.target))) {
toggleModal();
}
}

Overflowing text from one Bootstrap row hides behind text of another row

Pardon my jargon, I just recently got into web development and have poor communication skills.
I'm using bootstrap 4 alpha and JQuery 3.
I have a chatroom within one fluid container with two rows: a send-message bar and a recieve message column(plus the pm column and userlist column)
Here is my code:
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<!-- Chat View Column -->
<div class="col-sm-2">
<ul id="privateChats" class="list-group fixed" style=" margin-top:20px;">
</ul>
</div>
<!-- Message View Column -->
<div class="col-sm-8" style="float: left;">
<ul class="" id="messages" style="margin: 20px;"></ul>
</div>
<!-- Connected Users Column -->
<div class="col-sm-2">
<ul id="connectedUsers" class="list-group fixed" style=" margin-top:20px">
<div class="btn-group-vertical" style="width:100%">
</div>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Send message bar -->
<div class="row">
<form action="">
<div class="col-lg-9 col-md-9 text-right">
<input type="text" id="m" style="width:100%; height:55px;" class="form-control" placeholder="Message" autocomplete="off" />
</div>
<div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 text-left">
<button style="width:50%"><span class="fa fa-paper-plane" style="font-size:38px; color:white;"></span></button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
When the "Message View Column" fills up, text disappears behind the second row and I can't see the most recent messages. How do I fix this?
Let me know if I should add more detail
I added the Javascript tag because I'm not opposed to using Javascript to solve the problem

Adding a margin-bottom: 98px; (height of the 2nd .row) to the css of the 1st .row, would solve your problem. Then you can use scrollBy(0, 100) to scroll the page to the bottom (used 100 as example)

Why does my horizontal owl-carousel SLIDER render items vertical?

I have about 14 related products for each parent product and want the Owl-Carousel slider to function so visitors can scroll thru seeing 4 at a time.
The related products I have set up are rendering nicely except they are listed down the page vertical and not inside the carousel slider.
There is another owl-carousel Slider on this same site on the home page (index.html) which works fine.
The Difference?
This one gets each product detail form Business Catalyst module rendered as:
<ul class="productfeaturelist">
<li id="catProdTd_9568921" class="productItem">
the id is different for each product of course.
Here is link if you want to View page source - starts on LINE 289
Link to product parent detail page
To see the module result - Here is some code from ONE product inside the owl-carousel
What can I add to this to make each block of product detail render horizontal?
<section class="section wow fadeInUp">
<h3 class="section-title">Accessories and Related Products</h3>
<div class="owl-carousel home-owl-carousel custom-carousel owl-theme outer-top-xs">
<div class="item item-carousel">

<div class="description"></div>
<div class="product-price"> <strong>$19.50</strong> discountcryo price</div>
<!-- /.product-price -->

</div>
<!-- /.action -->
</div>
<!-- /.cart clearfix -->
<div class="padd-bottom-20"></div>
<!--/ END product detail -->

<!-- /.product -->
</div>
<!-- /.products -->
</div>
<!-- /.item item carousel -->
</div>
<!-- /.home-owl-carousel -->
</section>
<!-- /.section -->
Hope this is better to understand?
Thank You
Willz
Problem solved
The trouble was with the Business Catalyst Module productfeaturelist
- here is the module as edited to function correctly in owl-carousel:
{module_productfeaturelist tag="{tag_name}" render="collection" rowCount="99" sortType="Weight" template="/Layouts/OnlineShop/prodFeature.tpl"}
{% comment %} /* OLD */ {module_productfeaturelist,{tag_name},99,weight,_self,true } {% endcomment %}

Try Using:
display: inline-block;

Masonry doesn't work with Bootstrap 3

My problem is that I can't make Masonry work with my Bootstrap columns (grid).
Step 1 - I called for the Masonry in my <head> like so :
<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/masonry/3.1.5/masonry.pkgd.min.js"></script>
Step 2 - I wrote my bootstrap html (this is the part I want to apply Masonry on) :
<div class="row" id="container"> <!-- container begins -->
<div class="col-lg-3 col-md-6 item"> <!-- 1st column starts -->
<div class="well clearfix">

The Bootstrap 3 grid system has four tiers of classes: xs (phones), sm (tablets), md (desktops), and lg (larger desktops). You can use nearly any combination of these classes to create more dynamic and flexible layouts.

The Bootstrap 3 grid system has four tiers of classes: xs (phones), sm (tablets), md (desktops), and lg (larger desktops). You can use nearly any combination of these classes to create more dynamic and flexible layouts.

Step 3 - I added the javascript code above </body> :
var container = document.querySelector('#container');
var msnry = new Masonry( container, {
// options
columnWidth: 200,
itemSelector: '.item'
});
Step 4 I added .item class to col-lg-3 col-md-6 as yo ucan see in Step 1
But nothing happens, the columns don't take their right places as they should.

This all works, but since you're using Bootstrap, why are you setting the columns to a fixed width?
I would recommend something like this:
var container = document.querySelector('#container');
var msnry = new Masonry( container, {
// options
columnWidth: '.item',
itemSelector: '.item'
This will use Bootstrap's percentages for column widths (eg. 33.33333% for col-md-4 etc) rather than fixed pixel widths.
And just for the sake of clarity, the HTML needs to look something like this:
<div id="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 item">
Some content
</div>
<!--- More columns here as required --->
</div>

<br> become <br> when taken from mongodb meteor

I have a little problem here. my tag became <br> instead when I tried to set the text of label from mongodb.
//my meteor methods
Meteor.methods({
addEventDetails : function(title, details) {
details=details.replace('\n', "<br>");
eventDetails.insert({'title': title, 'details': details});
}
});
//my template function
Template.detailsboard.evt = function(){
return eventDetails.findOne({});
}
//my template
<template name="detailsboard">
<div class="block">
<div class="navbar navbar-inner block-header">
<div class="pull-left"><i class="icon-bookmark"></i><span class="block-header-title">Event Details</span></div>
<div class="pull-right searchbar"></div>
<!-- <div class="pull-right"><span class="badge badge-warning">View More</span></div> -->
</div>
<!-- /block header-->
<!-- block content -->
<div class="block-content-details collapse in">
<ol class="stream-items" id="stream-items-id">
<a class="logo-details" href="/"></a>
<div class="row-fluid" style="padding:10%">
<div class="span12">
<label class="text-inverse details-title">{{evt.title}}</label>
**//problem here**
<p class="text-inverse details-content">this.html({{evt.details}})</p>
</div>
</div>
</ol>
</div>
<!-- /block content -->
</div>
<!-- block header -->
</template>

Use a triple mustache {{{evt.details}}}, because by default Handlebars (or originally Mustache) escapes HTML.
