Although elements like <div>s normally grow to fit their contents, using the float property can cause a startling problem for CSS newbies: if floated elements have non-floated parent elements, the parent will collapse. For example: <div> <div style="float: left;">Div 1</div> <div style="float: left;">Div 2</div> </div> The pa...
Hi everyone, I have three Java JCheckboxes in a column, arranged by setting the layout of the container JPanel to GridLayout(3, 1, 1, 1). When I run the program, there is too much vertical space between the JCheckBoxes; it looks like more than 1 pixel. Since I've already set the vertical space between the JCheckboxes in the layout to ...

I've got a complex dialog, and it is full of whitespace and I can't shrink it. In Designer, it has lots of components that then get dynamically hidden, and a few which are dynamically added.

I've gotten the ToolBar itself to stretch out by taking it out of its ToolBarTray, but I can't figure out how to make items stretch. I tried setting Width to Percenatage or Star values, but it doesn't acc...
I've been running into this problem with Flex for nearly a year, and each time I work up a quick hack solution that works for the time being. I'd like to see if anyone has a better idea. Here are the conditions of a problem: |------Container ------------| | explicitHeight: 400 (or whatever) | | | |-----...
This is supposed to be a no brainer but I still can’t figure it out. In my sample app there’s a button and a textbox in a dockpanel. If the content of the textbox is smaller than the content of the textbox the window is as big as it needs to be to display the content of the button. That’s what I want. But if I put more text into the tex...

I've got menu items that look like this <ul> <li>Item1<span class="context-trigger"></span></li> <li>Item2<span class="context-trigger"></span></li> <li>Item3<span class="context-trigger"></span></li> </ul> with CSS that turns the above into a horizontal menu, and JS that turns the [spans] into buttons that bring up contextual m...
The problem: We have a page that ordinarily has two elements arranged side-by-side. <div id="container"> <div id="element1">content</div><div id="element2">content</div> </div> But in some conditions only element2 is on the page e.g.: <div id="container"> <div id="element2">content</div> </div> Despite exploring a few angles fo...
