How to use the float:left property in CSS without having the trouble I have?

i'm trying to create a flow layout and i'm having some trouble using float:left property in css.

I have one parent container which has 100% width and 100% height. It contains three containers: The header, the menu container, and the content container. The menu is a vertical menu,not a horizontal menu. It comes below the header and then the content container floats left on the menu container. Now the problem is i want to make it flowlayout. When i reduce the resolution,the floating content container comes below the menu container. I want the content to float with a flowlayout without coming below the menu container.Please provide a solution to this. Thanks!

Here is the link to the code.

Solution

  • Remove the width and float from the #content css.

    Set the background color of #wrapper to be whatever color you want the background of #content to be.

    add display: inline-block; to the #content css.
