html/css boxed content being "annoyed" by the text supposed to be under it

Question

I am using 3 boxes with text content where next t the the last box, some text is being displayed instead of leaving a blank and appear under. See attached screenshot:

.box_question {
   float: left;
   margin: 10px;
   padding: 10px;
   max-width: 300px;
   border: 1px solid black;
   padding-bottom: 1%;
}  

<div class="box_question">
   <p class="sub-heading"> text </p>
</div>

float: right; does the samething but to the left... float:center; works but doesn't not display all 3 boxes next to each others... I am not quite sure what to put between the last box and the next text. Please help me.

Answer 1

Firstly you must insert the boxes in one single div which will acts as a row.

i have used class: question_row

Then add some CSS to its after and before elements as follows:

.box_question {
  float: left;
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  width: 300px;
  border: 1px solid black;
  padding-bottom: 1%;
  display: inline-block;
  margin-left:calc(50% - 150px);
}
p {
  float: left;
  width: 100%;
}
.question_row::before,
.question_row::after {
  display: table;
  content: ' ';
  clear: both;
}

<p class="sub-heading"><span style="color: #000000;">Examples of Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy :</span>
</p>
<div class='question_row'>


  <div class="box_question">
    <p class="sub-heading">Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It

EDIT: Added margin-left to .box_question in snippet

Answer 2

1. remove float:left rule from .box_question selector in css.
2. enclose the text which should be displayed below the boxes inside a <div></div>tag.

Tip: If it is a responsive design consider using units like em, rem or % instead of px.

.box_question {
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  width: 300px;
  border: 1px solid black;
  padding-bottom: 1%;
  display: inline-block;
}

<p class="sub-heading">
  <span style="color: #000000;">Examples of Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy :</span>
</p>
<div class="box_question">
  <p class="sub-heading">Box1</p>
</div>
<div class="box_question">
  <p class="sub-heading">Box2</p>
</div>
<div class="box_question">
  <p class="sub-heading">Box3</p>
</div>
<div>
  Large text goes here which is below the boxes always...
</div>
