Seeking a solution to an unexpected challenge, what initially appeared as a simple task has transformed into a complex dilemma. Balancing the vertical alignment of green DIVs while preventing absolute positioned elements from overlapping following content is proving to be quite troublesome.
An attempt to maintain alignment led to using absolute positioning, which brought forth an unforeseen complication and the need for a new resolution.
Here's the code in question:
body {
background-color: #ddd;
}
h1 {
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #0000FF;
padding: 5px;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display: table;
}
#inner {
vertical-align: middle;
display: table-cell;
position: relative;
}
#inner2 {
vertical-align: middle;
display: table-cell;
}
#gauge_div {
width: 240px;
height: 240px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: green;
}
#gauge2_div {
width: 240px;
height: 240px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: green;
}
#heading {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
color: blue;
}
#below {
margin: 0 20px;
text-align: center;
color: blue;
clear: both;
}
.graph {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 0;
text-align: center;
color: blue;
border: thin solid #00F;
}
#container_main {
padding-right: 100px;
padding-left: 100px;
}
#thermometer {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 0px 10px 0;
background-color: gray;
}
#thermometer2 {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 10px 20px 10px 0;
background-color: gray;
}
.below_gauge {
font-weight: bold;
color: blue;
}
.below_container {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
.below_gauge2 {
width: 240px;
color: blue;
position: relative;
margin: auto;
}
.below_gauge3 {
width: 240px;
color: blue;
position: relative;
margin: auto;
border: thin solid #F00;
}<div id="container_main">
<div id="heading"><h1>The title</h1></div>
<div class="graph">
<div id="container">
<div id="inner">
<div id="gauge_div"></div>
<div class="below_gauge">Text #1</div>
<div class="below_container">
<div class="below_gauge2">Here I would like to display some text but would not like the left square to be misaligned with the right one. That has been solved.</div>
<div class="below_gauge3">I do not want the contents of this DIV to overlap the contents below. This DIV can contain any ammount of text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text. Some text.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="thermometer">
<canvas id="termometar_cnv" width="160" height="600"></canvas>
</div>
<div id="inner2">
<div id="gauge2_div"></div>
<div class="below_gauge">Text #2</div>
</div>
<div id="thermometer2">
<canvas id="termometar2_cnv" width="160" height="600"></canvas>
</div>
</div>
<div id="below">Is there a way to make the DIV with the red border to push down this DIV so the DIV with the red border would not overlap what is below?
</div>
</div>
</div>This code was crafted based on the answer (that was accepted) to my original inquiry regarding the alignment of two green DIVs. While the solution required absolute positioning to maintain alignment, it inadvertently introduced complications due to CSS specification standards related to element flow.
