khan1992 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I am having trouble keeping my content within the divs or sorted in column. They seem to be ever expanding. I have tried have 3 divs with each set 400px each set to float within a 1200px container. and thought this would contain them but they appear in one line. Also tried using the css3 columns but that is also doing the same thing. I have no idea where i went wrong? This is the HTML <!DOCTYPE html><head><html><title>Untitled Document</title><link href="mainstylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /><link href="textcss.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"><link href="infotray.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"><meta charset="utf-8"></head><body><div class="wrapper"><div class="header"><div class="headeropacity"></div><div id="navbar"><ul id="nav"><li><a href="#DKSND.asp">HOME</a></li><li><a href="#news.asp">NEWS</a></li><li><a href="#about.asp">COURSES</a></li><li><a href="#about.asp">ABOUT US</a></li><div id="pointer"></div></ul> </div></div><div class="content1"> <h2>Heading</h2> <p>wjkdnsidn </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p></div><div class="content2"> <h2>Heading</h2><div class="rollinfotray"><div class="infobox1"></div><div class="infobox2"> </div><div class="infobox3"></div><div class="infobox1"></div></div></div><div class="content3"><div class="contentcontainer"><div class="left"> <h2>Heading</h2> Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.

davej Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Here's an idea.... when something doesn't work, stop writing. Go back to a simple example and get a simple version to work. You can see that this simple example works... http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_column-count ...and you can see that this simple example works... http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_float6 ...so that means that your code is full of errors. And where to even begin... you have an error on line two. Edited December 12, 2013 by davej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
