I encountered a problem and didn't find a solution for this. I'm pretty confused because I thought this was a very simple requirement.
There are the following elements:
Depending on the screen resolution there should be 1, 2, 3, n columns of images on the right part of the screen (next to div#A). Instead of this, container #B is aligned below container #A and uses the full window width.
My alternative attempt was giving #B a float:right and a margin-left (which was greater than the width of #A), but that also didn't work.
I would like to avoid absolute positioning because the height of the surrounding wrapper should increase with its content.
To visualize what I'm talking about, I made the following diagram: http://abload.de/img/rezeptbilder1k8lsr.png
Many thanks in advance!
this is happening because..you are having dynamic width for your div#B
...ans as there are plenty of images and they are aligned next to each other...so eventually div#B grows to 100% width...when it has 100% width then it arrives under the div#A.because 100% + div#A's width cant fit together in a 100% wide screen..you understand???
1st solution :: you may use width:calc(100% - div#a's width)
.it will give div#b a width equals to remaining free space besides div#a
or you may use overflow:hidden
in your div#B...now at first this div will grow eventually to take the width of remaining free space with a single row of images and once it has 100% width it will create another row of images..but for this your wrapper must have fixed with with **overflow:auto;**
also..overflow:auto;
in wrapper will introduce scroll bar when combined with of div A and B is greater than 100%
