How make middle div to fill space between floating elements?
Question
I have three div elements: left, middle and right. Left and right are fixed and floating. What I want is the middle div to fill the gap in between them.
This is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
* {border: dotted 1px red;}
#left {
width: 200px;
float: left;
}
#middle {
float: left;
}
#right {
width: 200px;
float: right;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="left" > left </div>
<div id="middle"> middle </div>
<div id="right" > right </div>
</body>
</html>
Any ideas on how to do this? I tried different solutions but didn't manage to do what I want.

The key is to restructure your html to have middle last, remove the float from the middle and replace it with overflow: hidden .
HTML
<div id="left" > left </div>
<div id="right" > right </div>
<div id="middle"> middle </div>
CSS
#left {
width: 200px;
float: left;
}
#middle {
overflow: hidden;
}
#right {
width: 200px;
float: right;
}

I was able to replicate the issue and fix it using percentages instead of absolute values. Since you are looking for something flexible between the two elements this should work.
#left {
width: 20%;
float: left;
background: #ccc;
}
#middle {
width: 60%;
float: left;
display: block;
background: #ddd;
}
#right {
width: 20%;
float: right;
background: #bbb;
}
