Utilizing margins in CSS for various div elements

Update: I have included Javascript and Masonry tags in my project. Despite having modules of the same size, I am exploring how masonry can assist me. However, I find it a bit puzzling at the moment as I am not aiming to align elements of different sizes. I apologize if adding these additional tags was unnecessary.

I am dividing my content into three sections - offline, issues, and then go. Within these sections, I am organizing what I refer to as modules. When I insert more than three modules, they spill over into a new row. Unfortunately, the titles associated with these modules do not move along, and I have to manually adjust the margin-top property to align everything. I am unsure how to dynamically change the positioning of the rows based on the number of modules present. Any guidance on this matter would be highly appreciated.

<div class="grid_17">
        <div id="offlinetitle">
<p>System is Offline</p>
           </div>

        <div id="issuestitle">
    <p>System is partially offline or experiencing issues</p>
        </div>

        <div id="issuescontents">
             <a href="#" class="big-link" data-reveal-id="AccessModal" data-animation="none">
            <div class="grid_3">
                    <p id="contexttitle">Access</p>
                <p id="accesssubmenu">Last Update: 08/30/2013 5:00pm</p>
                </div>
             </a> 

<div id="AccessModal" class="reveal-modal">
        <h1>Access</h1>
        <p>This is text to describe something>
                    <p4>Last Update: 08/30/2013 5:00pm</p4>
        <a class="close-reveal-modal">&#215;</a>
    </div>   
                       </div>    

        <div id="gotitle">
            <p>All systems go</p>
        </div>            

    </div>

Incorporating CSS styles, the grid_17 serves as the main container holding all components while the last container represents individual modules.

.grid_17{

} 

#offlinetitle{
color:#FFF;
font-size:25px;
background:#F00;
height: 35px;
text-decoration:none;
list-style:none;
}

#issuestitle{
color:#FFF;
font-size:25px;
background:#FC0;
height: 35px;
text-decoration:none;
list-style:none;
margin-top:15px;
}

#gotitle{
color:#FFF;
font-size:25px;
background:#093;
height: 35px;
text-decoration:none;
list-style:none;
margin-top:535px;
}
.container_24 .grid_3 {
  width: 213px;
  background:#CCC;
  height:55px;
  margin-top:10px;
}

Answer №1

To properly structure your content, make sure to enclose each "module" (consisting of a title and its contents) within its own div element. Then, float this parent div to the left for optimal layout. Here is an example:

<div class="grid_17">
    <div>
        <div id="offlinetitle">...</div>
    </div>

    <div>
        <div id="issuestitle">...</div>
        <div id="issuescontents">...</div>
    </div>

    <div>
        <div id="gotitle">...</div>
    </div>
</div>

To style this with CSS, you can use the following rules:

.grid_17 { width: 300px; }
.grid_17 > div { float: left; width: 100px; height: 100px; }

Additionally, keep in mind the clearfix technique. If you have content that follows the grid_17 div, remember to clear the float as well. For more information on clearfix classes, refer to resources like this guide.
