Jquery Masonry with fixed height - jquery-masonry

I have a list of items that I want to display all with the same height, but different widths and dynamically generated. I want them all to display in a way to use up as much white space as possible. I thought masonry would help, but it seems to be making weird gutters in between.
Is there an option in jquery-masonry or an alternative plugin that I should use instead?
HTML:
<div class="tagbox">
<div>test</div>
<div>technology</div>
<div>search</div>
<div>a longer test item</div>
<div>another test</div>
<div>development</div>
</div>
Styles:
display: block;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;
padding: 10px;
text-decoration: none;
white-space: nowrap;
Javascript:
$('.tagbox').masonry({
itemSelector: 'div',
isFitWidthBooleanfalse: true,
gutterWidth: 0,
columnWidth: function (containerWidth) {
return containerWidth / 5;
}
});

MathJax and the hover event

I'm finding MathJax a superior alternative to MathML. However, I'm having some trouble getting MathJax to render while using a :hover event in my CSS:
span.rollover span {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: white;
padding-left: 7px;
padding-right: 7px;
border: 1px solid red;
color: navy;
font: 1em "Computer Modern", "Computer Modern Roman", "Latin Modern", "Cambria Math", serif;
text-decoration: none;
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 0;
opacity: 0.9;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
white-space: nowrap;
line-height: 150%;
}
span.rollover:hover span {
display: initial;
top: -30px;
z-index: 50;
}
At the moment it's displaying garbage; a current draft of the page can be found here. Here's an example of the problem:
<span class="rollover">Initial angle<span>0.0 ≤ $\theta_0$ ≤ 1.6 rad</span></span>
Is there a way to force MathJax to render the markup for such an event?
Your CSS is too aggressive: it applies to every span within your rollover spans. Since MathJax uses spans to lay out the mathematics, it applies to those, and so you are forcing the position, border, top, etc. for every element used by MathJax. That means you are moving the math content out of place, and giving it borders, and so on (this account for some of the extra elements that appear above the ones you expect.
If you change
span.rollover span {
...
}
span.rollover:hover span {
...
}
to
span.rollover > span {
...
}
span.rollover:hover > span {
...
}
so that these styles only apply to the top-level child spans (rather than every span), that should do it for you.

Centering fluid div having max-width

I'm trying to center my content div. It's set to 100%, and the div is contained in body, which is also set to 100%. I have a max-width: 1400px because I don't want my content to stretch more than that if the screen resolution is higher. The thing is, it doesn't work using margin: auto. My content stands on the left, uncentered on screen wider than 1400px.
If I delete the max-width, everything is perfectly centered on wide screens, but the content is stretched to the the whole screen...
#content {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
position: absolute;
top: 400px;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: 50px;
display: none;
max-width: 1400px;
}
Easiest way to achieve this, is to set the width property to the max width you need, and add max-width: 100%;. This will prevent it from being bigger than 100% but still go up to the max width. Also, you should remove the absolute positioning:
JS Fiddle
You can use the transform technique, which doesn't require extra mark-up or media queries.
#content {
position: relative; /* 'fixed' will work also. */
max-width: 500px; /* Your required width here. */
width: 100%;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
}
Here's a demo https://jsfiddle.net/matharden/6uduf7av/
Use Flexbox...
Put this classes in the parent element (the body):
The HTML
<body class="p-flexbox flex-hcc">
<!-- The content -->
</body>
Where:
p-flexbox means parent-flexbox
flex-hcc means flexbox-horizontal-center-center
The CSS
.p-flexbox {
display: -webkit-box;
display: -moz-box;
display: box;
}
.flex-hcc {
-webkit-box-orient: horizontal;
-webkit-box-pack: center;
-webkit-box-align: center;
-moz-box-orient: horizontal;
-moz-box-pack: center;
-moz-box-align: center;
box-orient: horizontal;
box-pack: center;
box-align: center;
}

inline-block with empty content makes layout disordered (vertical alignment)?

I'm working some css and encountered a weird problem. Two elements are inline-block staying in the same container. Both of them have the width, height, and line-height.
But if we set the first element an empty content, the layout will be disordered (vertical alignment).
You can see the problem here
<div class="part">
<div class="foo"></div>
<div class="bar">bar</div>
</div>
.part {
width: 400px;
height: 80px;
background-color: #ddd;
margin-bottom: 100px;
}
.foo {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
height: 80px;
line-height: 80px;
background-color: red;
}
.bar {
display: inline-block;
width: 100px;
line-height: 80px;
height: 80px;
background-color: green;
}
I know empty content is always a bad smell of html code. But I just want to know why this is and how to solve this problem.
I found a similar question. People say we could use a &nbsp instead of empty content. Is this the only way we could solve it? Or we have other better solution?
Thanks.
use 'vertical-align: middle;' to the inline-block element
vertical-align: middle;

Making 1 image go between two other images?

At my site on the first page i have two images put together so it looks like a sunset. I want to my logo to go down between them as if it was the sun, but i cant make this happend. The logo is currently at the second page of the site
Heres i the html:
<div id="intro">
<div id="introbaggrundbagved"></div>
<a name="section1" class="section">SECTION 1</a>
<div id="logo">
</div>
</div> <!--#intro-->
And the css:
#intro{
background: url('images/introforan.png') no-repeat center;
height: 900px;
margin: 0;
position: relative;
z-index: 3;
}
#introbaggrundbagved{
background: url('images/introbagved.png') no-repeat center;
height: 900px;
width: 1440;
margin:0;
position: relative;
}
#logo{
background: transparent url('images/logo.png') no-repeat center;
width: 600px;
height: 600px;
position: relative;
margin-left: 420px;
margin-top: 100px;
z-index: 2;
}
You need to take the #logo div out of its parent element #introand give it a z-index that is larger than both of its siblings— then wrap all of the header elements into an #intro-wrapper div. In addition, I would then position the #logo element using position: absolute, instead of relative, this will give you more granular control on it's placement without disturbing the document flow of the surrounding elements.
Also, it appears that you have the function parallaxScroll updating the top property of #logo, which will prevent the element from being placed between your two images.
function parallaxScroll(){
var scrolledY = $(window).scrollTop();
$('#logo').css('top','+'+((scrolledY*.376))+'px');
....
}

span width property is being disabled

Hi I am teaching myself some backbone from tutorials, and I want to create a table like display element using spans.
So I added a width element into my span in the template. (I know it isn't the best place to put it, but it should take priority over stylesheet properties, and is just to get an idea during development).
<script type="text/template" id="loadedwith-template">
<span style="width:100" class="library"><%= library.name %></span>
<input style="width:100" class='input' type="text" />
<button class="delete_lw" >delete</button>
</script>
However when I look at it in the browser, the element shows up as before without the width setting applied.
"Inspect element" in Chrome shows the width property, but is disabled (has a line like html strikethrough on it). This is the last thing shown in element styles before the computed styles section.
There is another stylesheet referencing the span. Is there anything causing the width to be disabled? The other stylesheet is as follows (borrowed from the backbone tutorial). (The span is inside a list).
a { color: #2929FF; }
a:visited { color: #777; }
a:hover {
color: #8F8FFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
body, button { font: 100%/1.4 "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; }
body {
background: #FFF;
color: #444;
padding: 25px 50px;
}
button, .delete, .swap {
border: 0;
border-radius: 5px;
color: #FFF;
cursor: pointer;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 1;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
button:hover, .delete:hover, .swap:hover { opacity: 1; }
button {
background: #2929FF;
font-size: 0.75em;
padding: 7px 12px;
opacity: .75;
}
h1 {
font-size: 1.25em;
letter-spacing: -0.5px;
}
p {
color: #777;
font: italic 0.75em/1.2 "Georgia", Palatino, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
}
span {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 10px;
}
ul { padding-left: 0; }
.delete, .swap {
font-size: 0.625em;
opacity: .25;
padding: 3px 10px;
position: relative;
top: -3px;
}
.delete { background: #FF29D0; }
.swap { background: #FF6529; }
You need to specify a unit of measurement
Specifying CSS units is a requirement for non-zero values. Browsers may try to guess what you meant, but it would still be a broken stylesheet according to the standard.
I.e. there is no "default unit" in CSS, it's just that the browser may try to help you out, although it may as well just ignore your statement that doesn't specify units as an invalid one.
Try style="width:100px"
You should specify a unit, like px:
style="width: 100px"
