Prevent Floated Divs from Wrapping to New Line

Prevent floated divs from wrapping to new line

This should be all you need.

    .float-wrap {      /* 816 = <number of floats> * (<float width> + 2 * <float border width>) */      width: 816px;      border: 1px solid;      /* causes .float-wrap's height to match its child divs */      overflow: auto;    }    .left-floater {      width: 100px;      height: 100px;      border: 1px solid;      float: left;    }    .outer {      overflow-x: scroll;    }

<div class="outer">  <div class="float-wrap">    <div class="left-floater">      One    </div>    <div class="left-floater">      Two    </div>    <div class="left-floater">      Three    </div>    <div class="left-floater">      I should be to the <s>left</s> right of "Three"    </div>    <div class="left-floater">      I float.    </div>    <div class="left-floater">      I float.    </div>    <div class="left-floater">      I float.    </div>    <div class="left-floater">      I float.    </div>  </div></div>

Prevent floated divs from wrapping to next line

You can also achieve that with CSS only.

Just assign the following CSS attributes to #row4:

#row4 {
    min-width:1202px; /* the exact value depends on the sum of the width of your 3 column boxes */
    overflow:hidden;
}

This differs slightly from your intended solution, since the right box will stay partly visible when sizing down the window and will not immediately disappear completely.

Please be aware that min-width won't work in IE6. However, there are several ways to emulate the min-width property, if you need to support old IEs:

Prevent float left div from going to a new line

Hi i think you should this check to this demo

.wrapper {  margin: 0 auto;  width: 80%;  border: solid 1px red;  overflow: hidden;}.gridf,.grid,.gridl {  Background: green;  width: 24%;  min-height: 100px;  float: left;  margin: 2px 0;}.gridf {} .grid {  margin: 2px 1%;}.gridl {  background: yellow;}

<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="gridf">One</div>  <div class="grid">Two</div>  <div class="grid">Three</div>  <div class="gridl">Four</div>
</div>

How to prevent inline divs from jumping to the next line within a parent?

You can use position: absolute; for this, else no other way except increasing your container div width or making it nowrap

Demo

Using z-index Demo

CSS

.a {
    width: 100px;
    height: 50px;
    border: solid 1px #345;
    position: relative;
}

.b {
    width: 60px;    
    height: 50px;
    background-color: red;
}
.c {
    width: 50px;    
    height: 50px;
    background-color: green;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
}

Stopping floated divs from wrapping to a new line

Floated elements are dependent upon the width of their container and do no affect the size of the container. If it is possible, do not use floated elements in this case. I would use display:inline-block with a white-space:nowrap on the parent.

Another method would be to give an insanely large width on the container but I wouldn't advise this as it is seems sloppy.

Here is a good article on how floats work:

How can I prevent floated div elements from wrapping when the browser is re-sized?

Wrap them in another div, which has a width (or min-width) specified.

<div class="parentContainer">
    <div class="floater"></div>
    <div class="floater"></div>
    <div class="floater"></div>
</div>

.parentContainer {
    /* The width of the parent needs to be equal to the total width of the children.
    Be sure to include margins/padding/borders in the total. */
    width: 600px;
    overflow: auto;
}

It also helps to have overflow: auto specified on the containing div, to allow its height to match the child floats.

Prevent div from wrapping to next line

You can achieve this using a combination of overflow and float. This works due to the fact that overflow: hidden establishes a new block formatting context. To paraphrase:

The border box of an element in the normal flow that establishes a new block formatting context (such as an element with 'overflow' other than 'visible') must not overlap the margin box of any floats in the same block formatting context as the element itself (in which case the box itself may become narrower due to the floats).

Prevent floating divs from dropping to next line

I think that http://jsfiddle.net/5JHW5/2/ is what you're wanting. It uses jQuery to figure what the width of #slides is and sets its width appropriately. I also added in some controls for scrolling, just because I like doing stuff like that.
If you need to see more in the example I gave let me know.

Cheers!
