I'm trying to put 3 divs into 1 div. Based on my code, I'm trying to make Div 3 a container for Div 4-6. However, even though Div 5 and Div 6 have the same code, they overlap.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> #div1 { background-color: blue; width: 60%; height: 400px; text-align: center; margin: auto; } #div2 { background-color: red; width: 90%; height: 300px; text-align: center; margin: auto; } #div3 { background-color: gray; width: 95%; height: 200px; text-align: center; margin: auto; } #div4 { background-color: yellow; width: 20%; height: 100%; text-align: center; float:left; } #div5 { background-color: green; width: 40%; height: 100%; text-align: center; float:left; } #div6 { background-color: purple; width: 40%; height: 100%; text-align: center; float:left; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="div1">test 1 <div id="div2">test 2 <div id="div3">test 3 <div id="div4">test 4</div> <div id="div5">test 5</div> <div id="div6">test 6</div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html>
Test 3 and test 6 are shown, but I don’t want to see test 3
My professor checked the code for me and said the problem was with my browser. I really don't know what to do.
I tried using flex, but all the content ran outside the div. I tried changing the float position of div 6 but nothing changed. I tried everything I've ever learned and nothing worked.
If you're using flex like this, it's pretty easy to fix except having to consider DIV 3's text. Using another wrapper with different flex direction solves this problem.
DIV 4, 5 and 6 have
float: left
attributes and float around the text "test 3". If you delete this text, DIV 3 will no longer be visible:
