I have two columns in a center column. (They are all div tags.) When I set the inner divs to float:left
, the outer div does not wrap around the inner divs.
Why, and how do I fix that?
Use CSS property to set the height and width of div and use display property to place div in side-by-side format. float:left; This property is used for those elements(div) that will float on left side. float:right; This property is used for those elements(div) that will float on right side.
Use "overflow: hidden" to avoid floating elements from wrapping a container's text. Unfortunately, any content of the content 's text will wrap underneath it: ![
This happens because elements with float property are removed from the document flow so the sizes stay unknown for the parent element (as nothing is contained in it) so it is set to 0 .
set overflow: auto
on the outer div.
Why does setting overflow alter layout of child elements?
