  • 0

So my CSS layout was all fine until I wanted to add some into the content area of my web page.

What I’m trying to add into the content section is a wrapper box which contains a graph on the left and a bunch of little info boxes on the right, and potentially an info area underneath those two with 100% width of the content box.

But as soon as I add that in, it pushes my User Info div down below Content. =/ So I guess what’s asking is how to create containers of divs within my content section that won’t affect things like my sidebar?

Here’s my code:

        <div id="wrapper">
                <div id="header"> </div><!-- #header-->
            <div id="nav"> </div>
            <div id="middle">
                <div id="container">
                    <div id="content"><!-- content -->
                        <div id='containerGraph'>
                           <div id='sngAnimals'></div>
                           <div id='graph'><img src='./lib/pChart2.1.1/examples/chartAnimalKillsPerDay.php' width='x' height='y' id='graphImg'/></div>
                           <div id='bottomCont'></div></div>
                    </div><!-- #content-->
                </div><!-- #container-->
                <div class="sidebar" id="sideLeft">
                    User info
                </div><!-- .sidebar#sideLeft -->
            </div><!-- #middle-->
        </div><!-- #wrapper -->

And the css:

* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
html {
    height: 100%;
}
body {
    font: 12px/18px Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    background-image:url('/mcimages/bg.png');
}
#wrapper {
    width: 1000px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
    color: white;
}

/* Middle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#middle {
    width: 100%;
    padding: 0 0 100px;
    height: 1%;
    position: relative;

}
#middle:after {
    content: '.';
    display: block;
    clear: both;
    visibility: hidden;
    height: 0;
}
#container {
    width: 100%;
    float: left;
    overflow: hidden;
    margin-top: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 10px;

}
#content {
    padding: 10px 0 10px 195px;
    background: #666666;

}

#containerGraph {
border-style:solid;
border-width:5px;
width: 75%;
position:relative;

}

#graph {
width: 249px;
height: 210px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:5px;
position: relative;
float:left;


}

#sngAnimals {
width:50%;
height: 210px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:5px;
position: relative;
float:right;

}

#bottomCont{
position: relative;
clear:both;
}
 }

/* Sidebar Left
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

#sideLeft {
    float: left;
    width: 175px;
    margin-left: -100%;
    position: relative;
    margin-top: 10px;
    padding-left: 5px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    border-right-style: solid;
    border-right-color: black;
    border-right-width: 1px;
}

#friend {
    float: left;
    background: #B5AAFF;
    border:1px solid;
    position: relative;
    top:5px;
    left:0px;
    margin-left:10px;
    width:175px;
    height:175px;
}

    You didn’t close a div and your CSS had errors as well:
