Floating div pushes p content down

Hello,
I have created a floating div that a use to place pictures in
so that the text will flow around it. This all works fine.
However when i place the text within a <p></p>
tag, it forces the text below the picture and not flow around it.
Why might this be? Thanks

Impossible to say without seeing your code....

My accordion panels stopped pushing content down suddenly

They were using the default behavior of pushing content down when open so the pop-out copy could be read, but suddenly stopped working and are now overlapping content below when opened. I don't want this. How can I get them to go back to the way they were?

What's "Overlap Items Below" set to?

Why is the length of a floated div ignored by the outer wrapper?

I'm having a hard time understanding whether floated elements are relatively or absolutely positioned.
When I do a "float:right" on a narrow column, the text outside that column seems very aware of its existence. It won't appear under it - it will instead wrap around it. It will make room for it.
However, the outer wrapping div ignores the floated div completely. It will only take into account (and accomodate for) whatever amount of text is NOT in that inner floating div.
Example :
<div class="wrapper">
<div style="float:right">
Float right contents.
</div>
This is the content that isn't floating right.
</div>
If the right-floated contents are longer than the content that isn't floated right, the outer wrapper ignores it. It will only accomodate the text that isn't being floated. If the floated text exceeds the non-floating text, the floating text will bleed outside the outer wrapper.
How do I make the outer wrapper accomodate the right-floated div as well?

I'm having a hard time understanding whether floated elements are relatively or absolutely positioned
Neither. Floats are floats. The take content out of the normal flow. For this reason, you must clear floats after they are no longer needed. I typically use a br, p or hr tag with a clearing class like so:
CSS:
.clearFloat {clear:both; height 1px; visibility: hidden}
HTML:
<hr class="clearFloat" />

Floating Divs - What am I missing?

I'm trying to align two divs (a small one on the left and a
column on the right) to the top of a container div, then have a 3rd
div (the body content div) appear below the top left div, but
beside the top right div.
But the body content div is appearing below the top right div
instead of beside it -- I can't figure out why...
See what I mean at:
http://staging.digitaloilfield.com/whativegot.htm
This is what I want:

Can someone please advise?

Google "faux columns" - it's the best way.

Floating divs and scroll bar in div

I've been searching the postings and can't find an answer to
this. I'm trying to make #content a div that, when content is too
much for the div, scroll bar will appear and not expand the entire
design. I assigned a height to the div and added overflow:auto; but
it still doesn't work. Please advise! Thank you...again....
http://www.nsbcustomjewelry.com/DIVTEST.shtml

You page is completely broken in Firefox and IE7.
You will need to go through your container widths because
they are not
correct. In FF for example, you can't see the right sidebar
nav, in IE7,
the content area is being dropped down.
If you remove the margin-left: 175px; from #content and
change the width to
around 322px; it moves it into position correctly, but you
need to narrow
the width of the #leftnav to at least 155px;
Work out the rest of your widths and the right sidebar should
show up ok.
The scrollbar does show up once you narrow down the width of
the content
area. At the moment, there's not enough content in there (at
the width you
have) to invoke a scrollbar.
Hope this helps :)

Background div do not support floating divs

I've created quite simple construction, but it doesn't work in way I want to.
I have wrapper which do not wrap up the floating divs placed in it as it should -
it shrinks to base size (top and bottom corners) and stays like that while floating substances maintain previously defined positions - only without background...
Any suggestions how to fix this?
The construction looks round about like this:
<body>
<div> div tag with height: 5px; contains top corners for layout </div>
<div class= "opened div tag with backround attributes (color and borders)">
         <div>here comes the floating content (list with style set to: none;)
               I set it inside the div with background attributes to have floating content wrapped into background color and borders
        </div>
</div (here i close "background wrapper")>
<div> div tag with heightL 5px; contains bottom corners for layout </div>
</body>
Thanks.

This is a bit of a shot in the dark but try overflow: hidden; in the CSS rule for your wrapper?
It would be much easier to see the page.

Floating div problem!

Having some trouble aligning these div tags in Dreamweaver CC, I've tried various different things / even watched tutorials on how to fix common errors and still come up with nothing!
Any help would be really appreciated
I've attached pics of what I'm talking about!
I can send my code in if needed also.
I'm trying to get the main body to sit next to the two navigation div's..
also the 2 different navigation div's don't sit (auto left width) as the header is sitting in both screen shots?
Thanks!!!!

Horizontal Spry Menu Pushing my content to the right

Hello everyone. I am very new to Dreamweaver and so far I am loving the ease of use and how much I can do with it. However, I recently tried adding a spry menu bar - horizontally, but it has pushed my content to the right of the page. The web page is www.iowapva.org
Any help on getting this squared away is greatly appreciated. I want to learn so if there is something wrong that needs corrected or have advise on correcting the site, I am open.
Thanks,
Brad

Add or modify the following
#page {
    clear: both;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul {
    position: absolute;
Personally I would add these to just above the </head> tag as in
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<style>
#page {
    clear: both;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul {
    position: absolute;
</style>
</head>

Floating divs of different heights

I have a layout that a client requires that is 3 columns wide
I am trying to set it up with floating divs and the divs have different heights.
What is the best way to lay this out and is it possible to use Edge Reflow to do this as when I lay out the divs at my starting resolution and then start to change it for media queries the divs move from their starting positions.
Hope it clear what I'm trying to achieve.
Would I be better using Dreamweaver to do this than edge reflow?

Floated DIV alignment woes

I have created 9 left-floated DIV 3 a row with the last div of the first row taller than the first two, how can i make the first two div of the second row occupy the space on top of them instead of aligning to the bottom of the 3rd div in the first row.

It's difficult to envision your layout, considering a float left on 9 divs should have the effect of aligning them next to one another, from left to right, like so: http://www.webmagi.com/Tests/Floating-Divs.htm
Dreamweaver leaves much to be desired with regards to visually working with CSS based layouts. You might look into Stylizer 5 for this: http://www.stylizerapp.com/ (Great video intros)

Floating divs

Hey TLF team,
Do you have any immediate plans to implement floating blocks instead of just floating images? I am currently implementing a stop-gap measure that splits the input up into multiple blocks, renders each to a different textflow, then lays them out on the page, but obviously this isn't optimal and if you guys are on the verge of implementing floating divs then I'll hold off!
The reason I ask this is that I noticed that Jin Huang posted 'We are implementing border feature and backgroundColor of "block element" now', which suggests that you might be implementing other block features too...
To confirm I am talking about the kind of block floats that would allow layouts similar to:
http://www.maxdesign.com.au/articles/css-layouts/two-fixed/
to be created in a single text flow.

Thanks for your reply - in that case I shall continue with my original plan. It would be really cool if you guys could add this feature at some point as when you have a lot of floating divs as seperate TextFlows on the screen at once things can get slow and it would be nice if this was handled within a single TextFlow.
Congratulations on your work on TLF so far!

Floating divs made to have equal heights

Is there a CSS way to get two divs (that will have different

text) to have the same height. If not CSS what other

Arranging a tight grid of floating divs with varying heights

When creating a grid using floating divs of varying height, the divs that carry over into the next row often find themselves in the second or third column rather than going immediately below the first div in the first column. I'm curious how I could make them fill in each column. I've attached some photos to better exemplify this.
Currently the first div in the second row is only moving into the 4th column do to the varied heights of the divs in the first row.
I'd like to have the divs look like this:

Division-itis. You don't need to place each thumbnail inside it's own floated division. Why not just insert the thumbnail images into a single container like so?
<div id="thumbnails" style="width:900px">
Image here, image here, image here, etc...
</div>

WMA Player Plug-in in Floating DIV

Here is a 'test' page that I've created:
http://www.justus.ca/test/vocab/professions.html
It has a 'floating' Windows Media Play plug-in within a
floating div at the
upper left of the screen. I can not get it to play, so I
copied the player
and pasted it into the first cell of the table as a 'test'.
That player
plays fine. It is an exact duplicate of the player in the
floating div
other than where it is located. Can anyone tell me how I can
get the
floating player to work? I want the player to stay fixed on
the screen
while people scroll the page to follow the audio being
played.

Try using this website
http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/
Note its easily to test an online media file then a local
media file I find.
For online files you can simply type the web address into the
media player script
for local file it has to be something like this src=file://
etc..
not just src=file.mp3
so try to upload you music or video file onto the internet
then
use the generator on the website
easy peasy
Bookmark it its the best around....
