Two floated divs within another floated div?
Posted on 2012-04-06
Below I have embeded a picture of how I want the finished page to look. Anything in black already exists on multiple pages, on a few of those, I will want to put the two red boxes at the bottom of the contentright2 div which is floated right in the content div. Is there an easy way to do this without screwing with my code too much?

Here is my existing css code for the relevant divs:
how-i-want-the-layout.pdf
Here is my existing css code for the relevant divs:
.wrapper {width: 100%; display: block; margin: 0; text-align: left;}
#content {
position: relative;
display: block;
line-height: 1.7em;
width: 940px;
padding: 10px 0;
margin: 0 auto;
/*-----edit. allows for the footer to remain at the bottom of the page so that it doesn't expand up if there isn't enough content to fill the page*/
min-height: 530px; }
.contentleft {
float: left;
width: 300px;
margin: 0 10px 0 0;}
.contentright2 {
float: right;
width: 620px;
margin: 0 0 0 10px;}

I've attached my full html of one of the pages I'd like this done on.Under Contact the Assessor's Office towards the bottom I want the Mailing address with heading and <P> in one "column", the Real Estate in another column and Personal Property in another. I've also attached the full CSS...can you be a bit more specific on how I would go about using the display function?
Thanks.

Wrap each 'column' in a DIV and the float them left. Set a width of 33% (or pixel based if you prefer) and you should be good to go :)
