Center multiple variable-length divs within a parent div in CSS?

You should not use float left with centering properties such as margin auto. Do this.

I have three small divs that all appear within one parent div. The second (middle) div is variable size, as it will display text of slightly different lengths (month names). How can I make the the centre div align to the centre of the parent div so that the first and third divs align correctly in the remaining space?

The CSS so far is here (but it doesn't work yet): div. Calendartitle { //The parent display: block; width: 117px; height: 15px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; font-size: small; border-width: 1px; text-align: center; } div. Calendartitleelement { //The three sub-divs. display: block; float: left; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 38px; } The HTML is generated in JS: var html = ""; html += ">"; $("#calendardisplay").

The middle one isn't variable in width, since you've given it a width of 38px in your css. Furthermore, if the parent has a fixed width, and the left and right have a fixed width, the remaining width is also fixed. You might want to add a text-align: center; if you want to center the text inside the middle div.

You should not use float left with centering properties such as margin auto. Do this. Div.

Calendartitleelement { //The three sub-divs. display: block; margin:0px auto; min-width: 38px; }.

If you give float to the div then margin:auto not works. So,auto & float is not simultaneously work.

First put them in a wrapper div. Test test test.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
