Inside my <main> element I have divs, each with the class .dataCard. Each .dataCard has the same minimum dimensions, but as soon as I started adding content to the .dataCards I noticed the layout behaving weirdly.
The <main> element is separated into two columns each containing a .dataCard. I did this because I need the order of the .dataCard to go left-column, then one in right-column, one in left-column, and so on.
But when I fill the .dataCards with content they push all the other cards down underneath them.
How can I fill the available space with the .dataCards so that the <main> element that contains them is as small in height as possible.
Right now, in the link below, there is the second card in the right column, but then a bunch of whitespace and at the end of the second-card the 3rd card in the left column starts.
How can I move the left column up, or in other words, make the cards fit the available space with or without flexbox?
I would greatly appreciate any and all help!

From your question I understand that you want to fill the entire page with boxes without any space.
This is what, exactly you wanted.

I have two tables sit next to each other and display data about two items that are being compared. Each item has a name, a category, and then a description - some descriptions (the third column) are very short (one word) and some are very long (multiple sentences). I need to align the two tables so that the row heights match up perfectly. Here's what I have so far:
Notice how the first row in each table doesn't align because of the difference in heights in the row. Ideally I'd love to solve this with CSS and some kind of overflow property combined with min-height, but I'm not sure where to start. Thanks!
You can place the description text (2nd table) inside a "div" in "td" and
make the "div" css: "overflow:auto; max-height:40%"; and make changes to the width of the table data as required for the both tables.
You can use the height property to give each cell in the table a uniform height.
Setting the overflow-wrap property to break-word will break a long word that does not fit inside the cell (like supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) so it fits. You need to style it as an inline-block so the overflow works properly. If all else fails and there is just too much darn text in a table cell, you could set overflow to hidden to make sure that your users can at least see the content without it spilling over everything, but ideally you should set the height to be large enough for your data. If you need an example, let me know and I can post one.
I've read similar questions on SO about how to do this, but my setup is slightly different and the solutions proposed on those questions, have produced a strange result.
On my page I have a DIV, whose height is fixed which I've given the ID table-container. As the ID suggests, it contains a table (id="myTable"), which has a row appended to the bottom every few seconds using JavaScript. The effect I am trying to achieve is that as the table grows in size, and beyond the size of the table container, the table-container DIV will scroll down so that the last row is always visible.
I've used the following JavaScript to achieve this:
$('#table-container').scrollTop ($('#myTable tr:last').position().top);
This works fine for the first 20 or so row additions, but after that it loses track of the bottom row completely. I can't figure out why it starts off so well, and then messes up.
I've created a JSFiddle which illustrates the problem.

Why can't you just do $('#table-container').scrollTop ($('#myTable').height() ); ?
Making a web app similar to instragrams layout and the post items have a full width image and then a div heading above each once.
e.g.
<div class="blogpost">
<div class="blogtitle">
</div>
<div class="blogimage">
</div>
</div>
This is a simple list of the posts with the title above. On instragram, once the title hits the tops of the page (because of user scroll) that title div is fixed. Once the user scrolls more and the next title div meets the bottom of the current fixed once, the current one is pushed up and the new one fixed to the stop.
Any help on this?
You are looking to create a site that uses parallax scrolling. Here is a link to a helpful site.
Make a variable with a value of zero, and check (in JQuery) $('.blogtitle').eq('variableWithZero')offset().scrollTop() and if it's zero, change its position to fixed, and add one to the variable with zero. Before that, remove() (.blogTitle).eq('numberWithZero - 1)
This will only help with scrolling up, but it should get you started ;)
Long-time lurker here. This is my first post (and I'm an electrical engineer, not a programmer).
I would like to have an element in HTML for which I can detect a click on its upper-half and its lower-half. Specifically, suppose I have a large numeric digit, and if you click above its "waist" it increments, and if you click below its waist it decrements. I then need to put several of these next to one another, like a "split-flap display" at a train station.
I already have all the javascript working for increment-only, but I want to make it easier to decrement instead of having to wrap all the way around with many clicks. I have so far avoided using jquery, so if you can think of an HTML-only way to do this I would love to hear about it.
I realize I will probably have to wrap two smaller containers (an upper and a lower one) into a larger container, but how do I get the text to cover the height of both internal containers? I probably want to avoid cutting a font in half and updating upper and lower separately.
Thanks,
Paul
This should work:
element.addEventListener('click',function(e){
//here's the bounding rect
var bound=element.getBoundingClientRect();
var height=bound.height;
var mid=bound.bottom-(height/2);
//if we're above the middle increment, below decrement
if(e.clientY<mid)
;//we're above the middle, so put some code here that increments
else
;//we're below the middle, so put some code here that decrements
},false);
element is the element that you wish to apply this effect on
I need some help...
How should I do the markup of a layout with two images and a block of text divided in 2 columns with different width, where the 2nd column starts lower than the first one because of one of those images? Here is a sketch of my layout:
I hope I described my problem explicitly enough.
P.S.: Is it possible actually?
CSS3 has a solution, but it is not standard yet and won't work in older browsers here is a link http://www.css3.info/preview/multi-column-layout/.
Possibly the best idea is to use javascript somehow. Put all the text in the first column and test the height then move portions of the text over to the next column until you have equal columns or until the first column is at a desired height.
Another method is to have predefined proportions eg(2/3 in the first column and 1/3 in the second). Then split the text based on the proportions using character count. This won't be exact and you could use a method similar to the one above to find exact width based on overflow properties, but the characters should average out to be the correct length.
This method is pretty simple and would look like
var txt='Column text...';
var len=txt.length;
var chars=Math.floor(len*.67);
//Assuming you want 2/3 of the text in the first column
document.getElementById('col1').innerHTML=txt.substring(0,chars);
document.getElementById('col2').innerHTML=txt.substring(chars);
//Notice that this could split in the middle of a word so you would need to do
//some checking for the nearest space and the change the break to there.
//Also you could then use the previous method to adjust it if you want something really accurate
