Hi.
I'm trying to place three "<div class=foo>" boxes in the same line:
----html--------------------
<HTML><HEAD>
<link href="test.css" rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" />
</HEAD>
<body>
<div>
<div class="foo">1</div>
<div class="foo">2</div>
<div class="foo">3</div>
</div>
</body>
</HTML>
-------------------------
-------test.css----------
..foo
{
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 290%;
background-color: red;
margin: 5px;
width: 100px;
}
-----------------------
However, these three boxes are placed each in one line. What am I
doing wrong?
Thank you very much. 4  13736

It's because div is display: block by default, and blocks start new
"lines", or at least, go beneath one another.
Add display: inline-block to .foo, or if you need it to work in FF or
IE, add float: left instead.
For completeness, display: inline is no good because you want to set the
widths on these boxes.

Add display: inline-block to .foo, or if you need it to work in FF or
IE, add float: left instead.
Alternatively, set position: relative for the outer div and use "absolute"
positioning for the inner divs. "Absolute" positioning then means
positioning relative to the outer div.
In a simple case, float: left is probably simplest. Remember to use clear:
both for the element after the divs to stop floating.

Alternativel y, set position: relative for the outer div and use "absolute"
positioning for the inner divs. "Absolute" positioning then means
positioning relative to the outer div.
Alternatively, use nobr tag.
The drawback with using position: absolute is that you will have to set
the "left" property on each block to position it on the line. With float
or inline-block, the browser works out those positions for you.
The problem with using the nobr tag is that, apart from being
nonstandard (the white-space property is preferred) it only affects how
inline boxes are broken to fit across lines. Since the OP wants to set
width on these boxes, they cannot be inline, and will therefore be
unaffected by nobr. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
can't figure this one out, what's the CSS way to specify the language?
In HTML it would be simply an lang="xx" attribute, or XHTML
xml:lang="xx", but, how about in CSS? This would be required for a
screen reader (text to speech) for accessibility, to help the reader
software use the correct presentation method (e.g. correct language
module).

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
