When designing a responsive web page, it's crucial to ensure that your layout remains intact across different screen sizes. In this guide, we'll address the issue of elements stacking vertically when resizing the browser window. We'll use the provided HTML and CSS code to illustrate the solution.
The main problem here is that the #main
, #navigation
, and #links
elements are floated but not contained within a parent container with a defined width. This causes them to stack vertically when the browser window becomes too narrow.
To fix this, we need to wrap these three main sections inside another container that has a specified width. Here's how you can do it:
div
around the #main
, #navigation
, and #links
elements.```html

#wrap
): This div wraps around the #main
, #navigation
, and #links
elements. It has a fixed width (e.g., 960px
) or you can use max-width
for better responsiveness.left
or right
. The value center
is not valid for the float
property.After making these changes, resize your browser window to see how the layout behaves. The elements should now stay in their respective positions and won't stack vertically unless the container width is too small to accommodate them.
By following this approach, you can ensure that your web page remains visually appealing and functional across various devices and screen sizes.
