How to Vertically Align Floating Divs to the Bottom

How to vertically align floating divs to the bottom?

This will do the trick:

#bars {
    display: table-cell;
    border: solid 1px black;
}
#bars > div {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: bottom;
    width: 5px;
    background-color: #999;
    margin-left: 2px;
}
#bars > div:first-child {
    margin-left: 0;
}

It uses display: table-cell; on the parent div, which by default has vertical-align: baseline; applied. This changes the need for float: left; on the child divs and allows us to use display: inline-block;. This also removes the need for your CSS clear fix.

EDIT - Per @thirtydot's comments, adding vertical-align: bottom; to the child divs removes the gap at the bottom.

Therefore, I changed CSS above and jsFiddle. I kept the display: table-cell; so that the parent div wraps the child divs with 0 padding and looks nice and snazzy!

Align floating divs to the bottom

you can do something like this

JS Fiddle

.fl {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
}

.wrap{
width:100%;
display:inline-block;
position:relative;
}

added .wrap class for <div width="100%" class="clear wrap"> (parent div) to clear the float of .fr or will taking 0px height

vertical-align:bottom WITH float:left

Vertical align only works with inline block elements, floated elements ignore the vertical align property.

Update the box class with the following:

.box {
    display: inline-block;
    vertical-align: bottom;
    width:80px;
}

I would make them all inline block elements and remove the whitespace with one of these techniques.

Alternatively you could use flexbox with the align-self: flex-end; property.

CSS vertically align floating divs

You'll have no luck with floated elements. They don't obey vertical-align.

You need display:inline-block instead.

Beware!

Be careful with display: inline-block; as it interprets the white-space between the elements as real white-space. It does not ignores it like display: block does.

I recommend this:

Set the font-size of the containing element to 0 (zero) and reset the font-size to your needed value in the elements like so

ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style: none;
    font-size: 0;
}
ul > li {
    font-size: 12px;
}

CSS

#wrapper{
  width:400px;
  height:auto;
  border:1px solid green;
  vertical-align: middle;
  font-size: 0;
}

#left-div{
  width:40px;
  border:1px solid blue;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: initial;
  /* IE 7 hack */
  *zoom:1;
  *display: inline;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

#right-div{
  width:336px;
  border:1px solid red;
  display: inline-block;  
  font-size: initial;
  /* IE 7 hack */
  *zoom:1;
  *display: inline;
  vertical-align: middle;
}
  

How to make text vertical align to the bottom in floating divs?

Added a <div class="inner">, and set it as display:table-cell + vertical-align:bottom, see the following demo and snippet.

Edit: also added calc() to make the photo div is only as wide as the width of the photo and the text div takes up all of the remaining width automatically.

JsFiddle Example

.wrapper {    border: 1px solid blue;    overflow: auto;}.wrapper .text {    float: left;    width: calc(100% - 140px);}.wrapper .photo {    float: right;}.wrapper .inner {    display: table-cell;    height: 140px;    vertical-align: bottom;}.wrapper .inner img {    display: block;}

<div class="wrapper">    <div class="text">        <div class="inner">Text aligned at bottom, text aligned at bottom, text aligned at bottom, text aligned at bottom, text aligned at bottom.</div>    </div>    <div class="photo">        <div class="inner"><img id="photograph" src="//dummyimage.com/140" /></div>    </div></div>

.column {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 45%;
    height: auto;
    text-align: center;
    border: 1px solid black;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

* {  box-sizing: border-box;}.wrap {  width: 80%;  margin: 5vh auto;  border: 1px solid grey;  display: flex;}.col {  display: flex;  flex-direction: column;  flex: 1;  border: 1px solid green;  padding: 1em;  margin: 1em;}.left,.right {  flex: 2;  /* just a number...means they are twice as wide as the middle */}.middle {  justify-content: center;}header {  flex: 0 0 25px;  background: red;  margin-bottom: 1em;}nav {  flex: 0 0 35px;  background: blue;  margin-bottom: 1em;}.content {  flex: 0 0 auto;  background: orange;  margin-bottom: 1em;}footer {  height: 50px;  background: green;  width: 50px;  align-self: flex-end;  width: 100%;  margin-top: auto;}
