How To Make My Text Clear The <div>'s!

Discussion in 'CSS' started by Gray, Oct 30, 2004.

    Hi,

    I have decided to take on the task of doing away with all tables in a site I look after in favour of CSS.

    One basic table I use at the moment places three images across the screen, equi-spaced. I have a paragraph of text before and after this table.

    I have re-created this using CSS, but the paragraph of text that follows the three <div>'s is behind the three images. What have I done wrong?

    Can someone help me pleeeeeeease!

    The CSS for the three <div>'s is below.

    #left {
    position: absolute;
    text-align:center;
    left:0%;
    width:33%;
    background:#032951;
    }

    #middle {
    position: absolute;
    text-align:center;
    left:33%;
    width:33%;
    background:#032951;
    }

    #right {
    position: absolute;
    text-align:center;
    left:66%;
    width:33%;
    background:#032951;
    }

    Thanks in advance,

    Gray

    Hi,

    try clearing the div containing the images by putting this line in your CSS for yor div containing the text:

    clear: left;

    See if that works.

    Hi,

    I rarely use absolute here is three column example within one div

    .row{
    }
    .col1{
    float:left;
    background-color:white;
    Xpadding:0 15px 25px 10px;
    width:220px;
    }
    .col2{
    background-color:#ddd;
    float:left;
    width:200px;
    }

    .col3{
    background-color:#eee;
    float:left;
    width:180px;
    height:500px;
    }

    float left should do it and you can exchange fixed width: by using
    width: 33% etc.

    I onlyuse hight to make sure the next container is pos nicely below... so you can eliminate this as well.

    hope it helps
