This question already has an answer here: Maintain div aspect ratio according to height 4 answers I have to maintain the aspect ratio of a div with respect to the height on window resize. I can maintain the aspect ratio(x:y) with regard to the width(X%) using padding-bottom; or padding-top; . So from the analogy, I tried using padding-left; .wrapper{ height: Y%, position: relative; } .wrapper:after{ padding-left: Y(x/y)%; display:block; } But the percentage value of padding-left does not give any width to the wrapper. How can I maintain the aspect ratio of that div according to its height? As

I have DIV with flexible width set e.g. min-width:800px and max-width:1400px. In this DIV, there are many boxes with fix width 200px and display:inline-block. So depending on parent DIV width, these boxes fill the entire space. My problem is the blank space on the right side which is caused by variable width of the parent div. Sometimes this blank space is small and looks fine, but with different widths of the parent div, this blank space is almost 200px. I don't know, if I described my problem in enough detail, I hope this picture will help to describe my actual situation: And this is what I

I am trying to implement Chris Coyier's example of using CSS columns to create a seamless responsive grid of images. I put Chris's files onto my server and everything looked fine. The only thing I changed was the actual images. Now, as you see on my test page , there are only 4 columns of images instead of the specified 5, using column-count:5; . The fifth column is just whitespace with no content. This only happens when the browser window is greater than 1200px. When the browser window is less than 1200px, the media queries kick in and decreases the column count 4, 3, 2, and finally 1. In

This question already has an answer here: How to set the margin or padding as percentage of height of parent container? 8 answers I'm just learning CSS fluid layouts & responsive design, and I'm trying to use all percentage values with no px values in a layout. So far it seems to be working, but in one spot, I'm seeing something I didn't expect. I'm trying to put a margin between two vertically stacked divs that changes based on the height of the container. I'd expect that margin to change when I resize the window vertically, but it also grows if you resize it horizontally, which I don't want.

I have two div's (side by side) inside a parent div, i want right div to occupy 100% of remaining space (i.e. 100% - 200px) and should always stay next to left div (not below left div): <div id="wrapper" style="width: 100%;"> <div id="left" style="background-color: Blue; height: 100px; float: left; width: 200px;"></div> <div id="right" style="background-color: Aqua; height: 100px; float: left; width: 100%;"></div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> Since you have only one fixed width column, float it left and that is it. As for the second column, do not specify float and width; this makes

There may be a simple fix for this, but it has troubled me for ages now... Let me explain the situation. I have a div with the ID 'container' that holds all the contents in the page (including header and footer also) that will keep everything inline and I can do just 1 simple 'margin:0 auto;' instead of multiples. So lets say that I have the width of #container set to 80%. Now if I put another div inside with the same width (80%) and give it the ID of 'header' with 10px of padding all around, the layout would "break" (so to speak) because the page adds the padding amount onto the width. So,
