Split page vertically using CSS

Question

Sorry guys for the really simple question but I have tried to float one div left and one right with predefined widths along these lines   lt div style  width  100    gt       lt div style  float left  width  80   gt       lt  div gt       lt div style  float right   gt       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    Although this  mostly  works it seems to mess up the other elements on the page below it   So what is the correct why to split a HTML page vertically into two parts using CSS without effecting other elements on the page

Here is the flex-box approach   CSS    parent     display flex    height 100vh         child      flex-grow 1         left      background  ddd         center      background  666          right      background  999        HTML   lt div class  parent  gt       lt div class  child left  gt Left lt  div gt       lt div class  child center  gt Center lt  div gt       lt div class  child right  gt Right lt  div gt   lt  div gt    You can try the same in js fiddle

I guess your elements on the page messes up because you don t clear out your floats  check this out  Demo  HTML   lt div class  wrap  gt       lt div class  floatleft  gt  lt  div gt       lt div class  floatright  gt  lt  div gt       lt div style  clear  both   gt  lt  div gt   lt  div gt    CSS   wrap       width  100       floatleft       float left       width  80       background-color   ff0000      height  400px      floatright   float  right      background-color   00ff00      height  400px      width  20

Alternatively  you can also use a special function known as the linear-gradient   function to split browser screen into two equal halves  Check out the following code snippet   body     background-image linear-gradient 90deg  lightblue 50   skyblue 50        Here  linear-gradient   function accepts three arguments   90deg for vertical division of screen   Similarly  you can use 180deg for horizontal division of screen  lightblue color is used to represent the left half of the screen  skyblue color has been used to represent the right half of the split screen  Here  50  has been used for equal division of the browser screen  You can use any other value if you don t want an equal division of the screen  Hope this helps     Happy Coding
