    text
    copied!<p>UPDATE: JSFiddle link here <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/truBB/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/truBB/</a></p> <p>I'm using PHP to create a series of divs for data display:</p> <pre><code>function supp_data_div($state_id) { $data_value_array = get_supp_data(get_page_id(), $state_id); $return_div = '&lt;div id="supp_data'.$state_id.'" class="supp_data"&gt;'; $is_percent = get_supp_data_type(get_page_id()); // returns '%' if true for($i=0; $i &lt; sizeof($data_value_array); $i++) { $data_pair = $data_value_array[$i]; $data_name = $data_pair[0]; $data_value = $data_pair[1]; if ($is_percent) $bar_chart = '&lt;div class="bar-chart" width="'.$data_value.'"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;'; $return_div = $return_div.'&lt;div class="supp-data-item"&gt;&lt;div class="supp-data-left"&gt;'.$data_name.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="supp-data-right"&gt;'.$bar_chart.'&lt;div class="data-item"&gt;'.$data_value.$is_percent.'&lt;/div&gt;'.'&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;'; } $return_div = $return_div.'&lt;/div&gt;'; return $return_div; } </code></pre> <p>I'd like for my $data_value to show up directly after my $bar_chart like this:</p> <p>|||||||||||| $data_value</p> <p>With my current CSS .bar-chart shows up above my .data-item class. If I add <code>float:left</code> to <code>.bar-chart</code>, <code>.bar-chart</code> disappears completely. </p> <p>CSS:</p> <pre class="lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.supp_data { position: absolute; top: 18px; right: 8px; width: 250px; height: 250px; z-index: 9999; background-color: white; display: none; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; border: 3px solid #888; -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 10px #4e4747; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 10px #4e4747; box-shadow: 0 0 10px #4e4747; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px; /* future proofing */ -khtml-border-radius: 10px; /* for old Konqueror browsers */ } .supp-data-item { display: block; clear: both; } .supp-data-left { text-align: right; float: left; width: 120px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-right: 5px; border-right: 1px solid #999; } .supp-data-right { float: left; font-weight: bold; margin-left: 4px; padding-left: 8px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-right: 5px; margin-top: 0 auto; margin-bottom: 0 auto; vertical-align: middle; display: table-cell; } .bar-chart { height: 14px; background-color: $dark-grey; } .data-item { float: left; } </code></pre>
