Question

I have this HTML with a table:

<div
  class="currentDesignDiv"
  style="margin-bottom:5px;">
  <div>
    <img
      alt="Thumbnail"
      src="http://www.propertyware.com/templates/
        <bean:write name="currentTemplate" property="primaryKey"/>
      /thumb.gif"/>
  </div>
  <div>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <th>Your Current Design: </th>
        <td>Template #: 
          <bean:write name="currentTemplate" property="primaryKey"/>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Last Updated: </th>
        <td>
          <bean:write name="currentTemplate" property="modifiedByAsString"/>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th>Total Pages: </th>
        <td>
          <bean:write name="numberOfPages"/>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </div>

Being styled by this CSS:

 .currentDesignDiv{
   background-color:#e7e7e7;
   border:1px solid #9c9c9c;
   padding:5px;
   width:100%;
   min-width:860px;
 }
 .currentDesignDiv div{
   float:left;
   width:33%;
 }
 .currentDesignDiv div table{
   font-size:9pt;
   text-align:left;
   margin:17px;
 }
 .currentDesignDiv div:first-child img{
   margin:17px;
   width:80px;
 }

It looks OK on my big monitor, but when I change to my small monitor the right-most div, which has an image inside of it, floats outside of the parent div. Does anybody have a solution for that?

Answer 1

set

overflow: auto; 

for the outer div. This should make your parent div expand even though its children have a float property. (IE has a few problems with this, but can be fixed by some padding)
