CSS: How to place a <script> element on the page

I am developing a web application using AngularJS.
I have a problem: in an HTML page I needed to show a table that dynamically show the number of rows based on a user's choice. I achieved this effect using a script and bootstrap rules.
I won't go into details, but I just show you the high-level code and a screenshot of the result:
HTML code:
<script type="text/ng-template" id="custom/pager">
<ul class="pager ng-cloak">
<!-- Code of the element drop down menu.....-->
</ul>
</script>
<div>
<ng-form >
<div class="panel panel-default table-panel noborder">
<div class="table-responsive">
<table ng-table-dynamic="$ctrl.tableParams with $ctrl.cols" class="table" template-pagination="custom/pager">
<!-- Code of the table.......-->
</table>
</div>
</div>
</ng-form>
</div>
The result is something like that:
My problem is that no type of CSS code seems to work to move the dropdown menu position to this position:
I tried to use position (relative, absolute, fixed) and also to encapsulate the <script> element inside <div> or <span> and refer it with CSS rules. But nothing seems to work! The dropdown menu always remains at the bottom and center of the page. I guess it's bootstrap's fault. Can you tell me how I can resolve this issue?

The pagination buttons are working. If the css should also work. You can place the below code into the codepen to see the effect.
Codepen
.table{
position:relative;
}
.ng-table-counts{
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:0;
}

Making text align with DIV in div-based HTML page in CSS?

My page for a clone script can be found at https://jsfiddle.net/k68dm4wj/
The problem is getting the text and image for a DIV to align next to the image with a small amount of space between the top and next to the image, like this example.
This is my code, taken from the JSFiddle above:
<div class="card">
<img class="listing-main-image" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a2/Audi_A6_Allroad_Quattro_C8_IMG_1975.jpg/880px-Audi_A6_Allroad_Quattro_C8_IMG_1975.jpg">
<div class="card-info">
<h2 class="listing-title title-wrap">Audi A6 Allroad Sport 55 TFSI 340PS 3.0</h2>
<p class="listing-attention-grabber ">BRAND NEW 2020 CAR</p>
<ul class="listing-key-specs ">
<li>2020 (20) reg</li>
<li>Estate</li>
<li>40 miles</li>
<li>3.0L</li>
<li>339BHP</li>
<li>Automatic</li>
<li>Petrol</li>
<li>1 owners</li>
</ul>
<ul class="listing-extra-detail">
</ul>
<p class="listing-description">2020 (20) reg, black, 40 miles £46,796</p>
<div class="seller-info ">
<div class="phone-code">
Tel: (0114) 49600000
</div>
<div class="seller-type">
Trade seller
</div>
<div class="seller-location">
<span class="seller-town">Sheffield</span> -
43 miles away
</div>
</div>
</div>
<section class="price-column">
<div class="vehicle-price">£46,795</div>
</section>
</div>
Although my code works properly, getting it to look similar to the page I linked to - at least for the DIV part of my code is the main problem. This relates to where I have .
There is also a second problem; I want to include smaller images and allow the user to scroll through them with jQuery or javascript, but the main image in remains the first one; also, how to include a logo after the images at the end like in the linked-to page (if there's one needed; not every div will need a logo).
Like this:
This is the intended end result:
I should add, the JSFiddle linked to has one large CSS file in there, when I've actually got three separate files - one for the layout, one for basics, and one for webfonts. For JSFiddle, I had to condense it into one CSS file there; the original file has CSS links in the header.
I would really appreciate any advice or guidance on making this look better.

Try using overflow: hidden in .layout{}. Also use "white-space: nowrap" in unordered list.It will not wrap your content on next line.For example:
.layout{
//rest of the styling here ....
overflow: hidden;
}
.ul{
//rest of the styling here ....
white-space: nowrap
}

.card-info
{....}
.card-price
{
padding: 1rem;
font-size: 0.9rem;
}
In Your CSS Change the padding of card-price from 2rem to 1rem
check the space in the image

windows.print results in empty page

So I'm trying to add a print button to an html page. Most of the page is not supposed to appear in print, so I hide everything in print and then reveal only the one div that is supposed to be printed (or this is what I'm trying to do). But when I try the print button out, the resulting page is completely empty. The html structure of the page looks like this:
<body>
<div id="fullpage">
<div class="section">
some stuff that should not be printed
</div>
<div class="section">
even more stuff that should not be printed
</div>
<div class="section" id="results_page">
<img id="result_image" class="archiv" src="./images/heumarkt/APDC0013.JPG">
<div class="content_wrapper" id="result_text">
<h1 id="result_h1">some stuff</h1>
<h2 id="result_h2">more headlines</h2>
<p id="result_p1">some text</p>
<button class="print_trigger" onclick="javascript:print_stadtarchiv(true)">print</button>
<button class="print_trigger" onclick="javascript:print_stadtarchiv(false)">print without picture</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
And here is the CSS that is supposed to hide everything except the div with the id "results_page" (of course the buttons in that div are also supposed to be hidden in print).
#media print {
*{
background-color:transparent;
}
div#fullpage .section, .print_trigger, .unprintable{
display:none;
}
div#fullpage #results_page{
display:block;
}
#result_image,
#result_text {
float: none;
margin: 50px;
}
}
The javascript function is pretty simple, depending on what button the user clicks it adds the "unprintable" class to the picture element and then prints the document (I'm not sure if the html, the css or the js are the culprit here, this is why I include all of this in the question):
function print_stadtarchiv(print_picture){
if(!print_picture) $('#result_image').addClass = 'unprintable';
window.print();
}
So, given all of this, what could be causing the empty page my printer spits out?

For anyone who is having this problem(especially if using bootstrap), it may be a CSS issue and NOT a javascript issue.
My dilemma was that we had a print button towards the top of the page that called "window.print()" function. And it resulted in a blank print preview page. The weird part was that is was working completely fine several weeks ago.
So first, like many threads have mentioned, check that this is not a javascript issue indeed. My call to window.print() did truly bring up the print preview window(meaning we weren't accidentally overriding the print function with another variable somewhere.)
The issue was with Bootstrap's container and container-fluids classes not displaying for print modes. Apparently these classes are being told to be not displayable on print styles(presumably from bootstrap style sheet).
All I had to do was add the following CSS print rules:
.container, .container-fluid {
width: auto;
display: block!important;
}
and it displayed again! This is also hinted at through bootstrap documentation here: http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#support-printing
So in a nutshell, check if the CSS is the issue, and stop blaming that poor Javascript.

Here you go:
function print_stadtarchiv(print_picture) {
if(!print_picture) $('#result_image').addClass('unprintable');
return window.print();
}
It also looks like you have no DOCTYPE or html tags... This is likely to cause all sorts of rendering/not-rendering based issues.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id="fullpage">
<div class="section">
some stuff that should not be printed
</div>
<div class="section">
even more stuff that should not be printed
</div>
<div class="section" id="results_page">
<img id="result_image" class="archiv" src="./images/heumarkt/APDC0013.JPG">
<div class="content_wrapper" id="result_text">
<h1 id="result_h1">some stuff</h1>
<h2 id="result_h2">more headlines</h2>
<p id="result_p1">some text</p>
<button class="print_trigger" onclick="javascript:print_stadtarchiv(true)">print</button>
<button class="print_trigger" onclick="javascript:print_stadtarchiv(false)">print without picture</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

To anyone having the same problem: I couldn't figure out what was causing it, but I could get it done using the window.frame approach elaborated in this answer.

Auto Arranging the elements using css

I have an application in which I am kind of stuck.
i have created a widget which needs to be placed in such a way that it needs to auto place itself.
Eg:
I have something like this on a page, now initially all these are arranged perfectly(horizontally aligned), but as soon as the size of one of the component changes
Eg:
It becomes like this. What I want is it auto adjust itself to consume the empty spaces.
I played around with the css to make it float :left and display: block, by which I am able to align each component horizontally, but still I am not able to utilize the space on my page.
Any help is appreciated

a CSS only solution:
taken you want to have 3 "connection" items per row this should be your CSS:
#wrapper{
-moz-column-count: 3;
-moz-column-gap: 1em;
-webkit-column-count: 3;
-webkit-column-gap: 1em;
column-count: 3;
column-gap: 1em;
}
.itm{
display:inline-block;
width:100%;
border-top:1px solid red;
border-bottom:1px solid red;
margin-bottom:1em;
}
.itm:nth-child(3n+1){
clear:left;
}
and this your HTML
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="itm">
<h1>connections a</h1>
<div class="info">
<span class="label">server</span>
<span class="value">100</span>
</div>
</div>
[... copy paste as many "itm"s as you need]
</div>
See here a fiddle with "add more items on click" to see the result -- old -- http://jsfiddle.net/5FsLm/ -- old --
UPDATED fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/c2nkn/

This is definitely a perfect case for jQuery Masonry. The plugin can automatically arrange columns so they can fit together. Something like this:
html
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="list">
<div class="item"> ... </div>
<div class="item"> ... </div>
<div class="item"> ... </div>
<!-- ... -->
</div>
</div>
jquery
$(window).load(function(){
$('#list').masonry({
itemSelector: '.item'
});
});
P.S.: At the moment, the official website is down for some reason, I will put a temporary link here.
UPDATE: Temporary link for jQuery Masonry (actually from cutestpaw.com which has a local copy of it, so if you want to test it, you should copy the file instead of linking to it)

If you dont want much animations and need a script that very easy to understand and satisfies your purpose try jquery.popbild.js.
You can download the project from :http://funscripts.popbild.com/jquery_popbild/
Its mainly created to arrange element in the pinterest style for three columns(uses three divisions)

If I'm understanding you correctly, it looks like what you really want is a three column structure for these widgets. In which case it would look something like this.
HTML
<div class='three-column'>
<div class="widget">...</div>
<div class="widget">...</div>
<div class="widget">...</div>
</div>
<div class='three-column'>
...
</div>
<div class='three-column'>
...
</div>
CSS
.three-column {
width: 30%;
padding-right: 3%;
float: left;
}

Is it possible to use CSS to align these divs/spans in a table-like manner? (While still retaining continuity)

I have
<div class='line'>
<div class='chord_line'>
<span class='chord_block'></span>
<span class='chord_block'>E</span>
<span class='chord_block'>B</span>
<span class='chord_block'>C#m</span>
<span class='chord_block'>A</span>
</div>
<div class='lyric_line'>
<span class='lyric_block'></span>
<span class='lyric_block'>Just a</span>
<span class='lyric_block'>small-town girl</span>
<span class='lyric_block'>living in a</span>
<span class='lyric_block'>lonely world</span>
</div>
</div>
(Excuse me for not being too familiar with proper css conventions for when to use div/spans)
I want to be able to display them so that each chord_block span and lyric_block span is aligned vertically, as if they were left-aligned and on the same row of a table. For example:
E B C#m A
Just a small-town girl living in a lonely world
(There will often be cases where an empty chord block is matched up to non-empty lyric block, and vice-versa.)
I'm completely new to using CSS to align things, and have had no real understanding/experience of CSS aside from changing background colors and link styles. Is this possible in CSS? If not, how could the div/class nesting structure be revised to make this possible? I could change the spans to divs if necessary.
Some things I cannot use:
I can't change the structure to group things by a chord_and_lyric_block div (and have their width stretch to the length of the lyric, and stack them horizontally), because I couldn't really copy/select the lyrical lines continuously in their entirety, which is extremely critical.
I'm trying to avoid a table-like solution, because this data is not tabular at all. The chord line and the lyric line are meant to be read as one continuous line, not a set of cells. Also, apart from the design philosophy reasons, I think it might have the same problems as the previous thing bullet point.
If this is possible, what div/span attributes should I be using? Can you provide sample css?
If this is not possible, can it be done with javascript?
EDIT: I'm sorry I wasn't clear at the start, but I would like a solution that allows both the chord line and the lyric line to be "selectable" and continuous.

Original Attempt... ---> CSS Tables Demonstration
div.line {
display:table;
}
div.line > div {
display:table-row;
}
div.line > div span {
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
For empty blocks, place html entity for non-breaking space as their contents. This should do what you want, if not, then I may have misunderstood.
SPECIAL NOTE: Compatibility for display:table-* is limited. More information
NEW EXAMPLE: Quite sure this is what you are looking for. --->
Demonstration
CSS
.block {
margin-top:1.5em;
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
}
.block .chord {
font-weight:bold;
font-size:0.8em;
position:absolute;
top:-1em;
}
HTML
<div class="block">
<div class="chord"></div>
<div class="lyric"></div>
</div>
<div class="block">
<div class="chord">E</div>
<div class="lyric">Just a</div>
</div>
<div class="block">
<div class="chord">B</div>
<div class="lyric">small-town girl</div>
</div>
<div class="block">
<div class="chord">C#m</div>
<div class="lyric">living in a</div>
</div>
<div class="block">
<div class="chord">A</div>
<div class="lyric">lonely world</div>
</div>

It looks interesting to me so I just searched over it and find following article that is discussing similar problem:
Create a table using CSS
I checked it here:
http://jsfiddle.net/MdzDp/
I think you need to use DIVs and SPANs instead of ULs and LIs here.

A similar question was asked once, and the only workable solution was indeed a combined "chords and lyrics" block (with the chords having a combination of position: absolute and position: relative). It's the only way I can think of if you want this to work reliably and in edge cases like different font sizes and so on.
JSFiddle example
Now this doesn't do exactly what you need: It doesn't allow continuous selection of lyrics. But I can think of two general directions to extend it.
A) Chords as background images: If the Chord symbols
C# E# Em Am
could be background images instead of actual text, you could use my code example and give the chord_block class a background-image of whatever Chord is in question. The image would have to contain the Chord (e.g. Em) as text. The upside is that this keeps the "lyrics line" intact. The downside is that this is not accessible, not resizable, and possibly problematic in print because many browsers don't show background images when printing.
B) Using jQuery: Using the approach shown in the JSFiddle, you have elements of the class chord_block that are already in the correct position. It should be half-way easy to use jQuery to create a new element on the fly, and add it to the document at the x/y position of each chord_block but outside the line, so you can still select the whole lyrics line without interference.

here's a crappy way to do it... i'd try more, but christmas dinner is served :)
<head>
<style type="text/css">
div.line {width:100%;}
div.line div.chord_line div.chord_block, div.line div.lyric_line div.lyric_block {width:20%; float:left;}
div.lyric_line {clear:left;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class='line'>
<div class='chord_line'>
<div class='chord_block'>...</div>
<div class='chord_block'>E</div>
<div class='chord_block'>B</div>
<div class='chord_block'>C#m</div>
<div class='chord_block'>A</div>
</div>
<div class='lyric_line'>
<div class='lyric_block'>...</div>
<div class='lyric_block'>Just a</div>
<div class='lyric_block'>small-town girl</div>
<div class='lyric_block'>living in a</div>
<div class='lyric_block'>lonely world</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
EDIT:
if you're open to structural changes, here you go:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#chord_block {float:left; padding:2px; text-align:left;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="chord_block">
<div id="chord"></div>
<div id="lyric"></div>
</div>
<div id="chord_block">
<div id="chord">E</div>
<div id="lyric">Just a</div>
</div>
<div id="chord_block">
<div id="chord">B</div>
<div id="lyric">small-town girl</div>
</div>
<div id="chord_block">
<div id="chord">C#m</div>
<div id="lyric">living in a</div>
</div>
<div id="chord_block">
<div id="chord">A</div>
<div id="lyric">lonely world</div>
</div>
</body>

let the down-voting begin ...
as much as I love css, sometimes tables are worth using.
let me clarify, if you can pull it off with css and div's, it's all good; but if you have to spend hours trying to figure the simplest (with tables) layout out -- I think you're wasting your (and your client's) time and money.
