Beginner's stuff: How to stop CSS' Divs from overlapping?
First question ever, I started working on CSS about a month ago due to a job I got, but it seems I have encountered some problems I can't fix (mainly due to my inexperience and that it's someone else's CSS)
I won't beat around the bush so much and explain the problem before showing the code. There are a set of Div's in a form-like setting, but when the text get's too crowded it invades the next Div so, fixing it via CSS and not HTML, any fix on this? From the very problem I can imagine it's something so easy it's silly, but well, yeah.
Edit: I kinda of forgot to mention that part, I don't want them to be hidden, I want each div to automatically allow for the "previous" one to finish it's concent without overlapping (Tried with overflow: Auto but it gave them scrollbars, to all the forms in the whole site.
Here's a pic of how it looks at the moment, I'm sure you will see the problem right away
Here's the relevant HTML
<html>
<head>
<link href="hue.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div class="content">
<div class="column">
<div class="form">
<div class="form-nivel">
<label for="cfdiCreate:organizationRfc">RFC</label><label id="cfdiCreate:organizationRfc">XXXXXXXXXXXX</label>
</div>
<div class="form-nivel">
<label for="cfdiCreate:organizationTaxSystem">Regimen fiscal</label><label id="cfdiCreate:organizationTaxSystem">Sueldos y salarios</label>
</div>
<div class="form-nivel">
<label for="cfdiCreate:organizationTaxAddress">Domicilio fiscal</label><label id="cfdiCreate:organizationTaxAddress">XXXXXX Colonia Tecnológico Monterrey,Nuevo León,México.C.P.XXXXXX</label>
</div>
<div class="form-nivel">
<label for="cfdiCreate:organizationExpeditionPlace">Lugar de expedición</label><label id="cfdiCreate:organizationExpeditionPlace">Suc.1 Chiapas,México. </label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="column secondary">
<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?-->
</div>
</body>
</html>
And here's the CSS
body {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
}
p {
text-align: left;
}
.content {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 10px;
float: left;
background: #;
text-align: left;
}
.content label, .content p {
font-size: 16px;
color: #024DA1;
padding-left: 2%;
}
.column {
display: block;
float: left;
width: 48%;
margin-top: 15px;
height: auto;
background:;
}
.secondary {
margin-left: 10px;
}
.clearfix {
clear: both;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.form {
display: block;
width: 96%;
height: auto;
background:;
}
.form-nivel {
display: block;
width: 100%;
width: 470px;
min-height: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
position: relative;
}
.form-nivel label {
width: 160px;
float: left;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
margin-right: 10px;
text-align: right;
}
Answer
Here. You are applying a CSS rule to all the labels. The overlapping happens because of this rule.
float: left;
To fix this, remove the .form-nivel label rule and add these.
.form-nivel label:nth-child(1) {
width: 160px;
float: left;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
margin-right: 10px;
text-align: right;
}
.form-nivel label:nth-child(2) {
width: 160px;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
margin-right: 10px;
text-align: right;
}
