How To Fix CSS Float Issues

CSS is great. On somedays I'd go so far as to say it's a lifesaver. But every now and then you'll encounter a CSS issue that will drive you crazy.

In this case we'll talk about two of the more common issues when using the float property to create your layout.

For those of you who're new to CSS, Float is a CSS property that allows you to align your elements, such as DIVs, to create website layouts. The values for Float include Left, Right and None. You can use Floats to align elements and if done properly you can do in such a way that it's dynamic -- almost fluid.

Let's say you need to create an image gallery. Your idea is to place 4 images on each line, but after you place the first image the second image goes to the next line.

I'll admit in the past I used to use negative values to align my images so that the second image would show up next to the first one using the margin-left, right, top, bottom property. I even considered using tables, but opted to use negative values instead. There's nothing wrong with using negative margin property, but not when there's a better solution for it, such as using floats.

If you apply Float to those images then they'll align in one row, then you can continue to add more images using the float property and you wouldn't have to worry about whether they'd line up or not because the float property will recognize that there's too many elements on this line and it will push the images to the next line.

But what if you're using Floats for your website layout, for your divs and not just the images.

There are 2 main issues that you'll face with Floats.

Let's say you have three elements. Parent1(website's main container), Child1(left navigation bar), and Child2(content area). Parent1 is the main div container and your goal is to float the child divs side by side sort of like having a left navigation area and a right content area. Sounds great.

You've set your parent1's height to auto, and you've set child1 and child2's height as auto. But once you open and view it in a webpage the parent element's height is only 1 or 2pixels in height, the child elements seem to look like they're floating above the parent container, and the parent container doesn't seem to recognize the div's height. (see test link 1 on website).

No worries, here is an easy solution for it.

Add overflow:auto; for the CSS of the parent container and it will automatically recognize the floats and will increase in height so that it appears that the floats are part of the parent container just as you wanted. Wow all that in one line.

But don't forget there's still one more Float issue.

The second issue is more of a cross browser compatibility issue with floats, but still as important. If you try to Float for ex: three images to the left and are using margin property, then sometimes the first container that floats will have double the margin in Internet Explorer.

Welcome to the Float Peekaboo Bug / IE Float Doubled Margin Bug.

That's right if you've tried to Float an element and use any kind of margin then you'll notice that it will double the margin in IE.

I'm sure there are some decent hacks, but there's an easy way to fix this in CSS. The Float Margin Killer. In the CSS for that container add display:inline I don't know why but for some reason this property seems to fix the double margin property.

That's it? Yes that's it. Now you can start using floats.

CSS Mistakes

Cascading Style sheet or CSS is one of the most used and convenient way of coding the mark up languages. Most of the websites are built on an HTML platform and hence it is important for us that the CSS is also correctly applied so that the information that the website wants to transmit to its viewers is correct. But, designers often commit fundamental mistakes that can make things go terribly wrong for a website. The  css-faq.com mentions some of the common mistakes occurred in CSS.

You don't waste bytes by adding units such as px, pt, em, etc, when the value is zero. The only reason to do so is when you want to change the value quickly later on, otherwise declaring the unit is meaningless. Zero pixels is the same as zero points. In order to get the accurate choice of the color, you must specify the hex code rather than writing the color in plain English. Never forget to add hash “#” at the start of the code so that it can be parsed correctly. Otherwise, you will have to remember to add another hash to prevent errors.

Unless you are likely to be changing your code much, avoid using several lines when only one line can serve your purpose. For example, when setting borders, some people set each side separately when each border is the same. So condensing the code is required here. It is okay to style the same element twice, if it means avoiding the repetition mentioned in the point above. For example, let's say you have an element where only the left border is different. Instead of writing out each border using four lines, just use two.

But sometimes designers like to waste a lot of space in their code, by using plenty of unnecessary line-breaks or spaces before and after code. It'll only make the stylesheet bigger, meaning it'll cost you more in the long run, as your bandwidth usage will be higher. Of course it's wise to leave some space in to keep it readable, though some people like to condense everything, leaving no space at all.

Designers must be careful about some common mistakes so that they can design the web pages in a proper manner and convey the message to its reader correctly.
