Floated Element Gets Outside of Its Parent

Floating elements within a div, floats outside of div. Why?

The easiest is to put overflow:hidden on the parent div and don't specify a height:

#parent { overflow: hidden }

Another way is to also float the parent div:

#parent { float: left; width: 100% }

Another way uses a clear element:

<div class="parent">
   <img class="floated_child" src="..." />
   <span class="clear"></span>
</div>

CSS

span.clear { clear: left; display: block; }

float right element outside of parent

In your HTML, move the right-floated element before the element you want it to float around:

<div id="boards">
  <p>TOP BOARDS</p>
  <div id="board_items_container">
    <div id="board1" class="board_items"> <!-- float: left -->
    </div>
    <div id="board3" class="board_items"> <!-- float: right -->
    </div>
    <div id="board2" class="board_items"> <!-- not floated -->
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Floated element gets outside of its parent?

You can fix it by adding overflow:auto to ul li, if I understand your problem correctly.

something like this?

.parent {    display:inline-block;    width: 100px;    height: 300px;    background-color:lightgray;    margin-left: 100px;}.child {    width: 200px;    height:100px;    border-radius: 100px;;    background-color:gray;    position:abolute;     margin-left: -50px;    margin-top:100px;}

<div class='parent'>    <img class='child'/></div>
