    <p>I'm displaying WordPress posts horizontally using floated divs. I've got it working fine, but when the divs move to a new row, if the paragraph text inside each floated div is too long, the div immediately below it drops. Furthermore, each floated div is affected by the length of the divs above it. </p> <p>How do I make them flow naturally without being affected by the heights of those above them? </p> <p>Here is my HTML for a single floated div:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div class="entry_column&gt; &lt;div class="entry"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Entry title&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Entry excerpt...if this text gets too long, the div immediately below it gets pushed WAY down&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br class="clearFloat" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>And here are the relevant CSS classes:</p> <pre><code> .entry_column { float: left; width: 50%; } .entry_column .entry { margin-right: 25px; } .clearFloat { clear: both; height:0; font-size: 1px; line-height: 0px; } </code></pre> <p>I tried everything I could think of for the clearing, but if I try to add clearing directly on the floated divs, I still can't get it to stop dropping. </p> <p>Hopefully the image explains this issue a bit better. The "More Music" box drops all the way down because of the length of the "Music Post Stand" div above it. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/orbit82/4261553098/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://farm5.static.flickr.com/4036/4261553098_3c24154e94.jpg" alt="Screenshot of problematic layout"></a></p>

    1. COWhat styles do you have applied to the more music section? From the image it looks like it's set to clear the floats, which could be what's causing the issue. Do you have a link to a testing page that shows what's going on?

    2. COThe more music uses the same style as the others. It's in the same floating box. Unfortunately I don't have a testing page online, as I'm developing it on my local computer using MAMP. I'll see if I can get it moved online tomorrow.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
