I'm designing a theme for a blog and I'm having some trouble trying to get a layout working. Here's an image of what I want.
This diagram represents the individual posts and not the website itself, so it will be contained in a box of it's own, lets call it .container
. Also the purple and green are in another box, let's call it .content
. The other elements will be called by their color for now.
so here's more or less what the CSS looks like:
.container {
display:block;
margin:0 25px;
}
.gray, .blue, .content {
display:block;
width:100%;
}
.purple {
display:inline-block;
width:125px;
height:100%;
text-align:center;
}
.green {
display:inline-block;
}
That's all there is at the moment. I tried float
but that made no effect. What's happening is something like this.
Here's a few more things you should know:
.container
's width is NOT set it is auto.purple
and.green
don't necessarily need to be the same size as long as.green
doesn't go to that side..purple
CAN have a set height.green
is where the meat is, that's where the actual post goes, keep that in mind.- I don't think tables will help, the problem is inside
.content.
