go to this example page. as you can see, the link, the words 'Call' and 'Email' are all aligned lower than the rest of the text. this is also happening when i wrap markup in , or suchlike tags.
i've got a reset going on, so... what the hell is causing this? this shows up in ALL browsers, so it's not a Chrome issue or Safari issue, or whatever-browser issue.
WR!
It's because theres a padding of 4px on those elements, check your rules
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, b, u, i, center, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td {
background: transparent;
border: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 4px;
vertical-align: middle;
border-image: initial;
}
that includes span which you are using on the words Call and Email
This is caused by the "reset default browser CSS". I wouldn't recommend such things anyway. Particularly, the padding of 4px on a elements together with vertical-align: middle causes them to be rendered lower than normal text which is not inside any of the specified tags. See http://jsfiddle.net/nxzEA/ for a minimal example.

I'm currently developing a site which requires headings as such:
My initial idea was to do this with border-bottom, but how would I limit the width of the border so that it doesn't go all the way across? The border needs to stop when it gets to the text.
Is this possible?
h1 {
background-color: #fff;
line-height: 1;
margin: 0;
display: inline;
position:relative;
z-index: 1;
}
h1:after {
content: '';
display: block;
border-bottom: 2px solid;
position: relative;
z-index: 0;
margin-top: -7px;
}
The length of the border is decided by the size of the element it is bordering. You could create another <div> inline with the text with border-bottom: 1px; and the other borders set to 0. You could then change the margin or width of the <div> to alter the length of the line. Note that you'd have to set a width, because an empty <div> has a width of 0 by default, so won't display.
Another possible (but not recommended) way to do it would be to use a <hr> but these are not well supported in HTML 5, so I would choose the first method personally.
A solution I can come up with is to give the title the same background-color as the page's background, and then to either transform: scale() the title up so that it overflows with the border of its parent, either scale the parent down so that its border hides behind the title's background.
See here for an example:
http://jsfiddle.net/WjRqC/1/
Oh, also, scaling can be replaced by making the title position: relative and moving it downwards a few pixels (and giving it a bit more vertical padding if you don't want the text too close to the line). Actually this is probably a better idea than scaling, because it's not CSS3, so it's more compatible.

I have the following fiddle for people to see http://jsfiddle.net/defaye/DhaHP/4/
The result on full screen: http://jsfiddle.net/defaye/DhaHP/4/embedded/result/
The problem I'm having is that when going past a certain width of resizing the window, the left column departs from the group. I need them to remain touching, with the centre column having a min-width 400 to max-width 800px, the sides width: 200px. The header should be 100% however.
Anyone know how to solve this problem? It is driving me insane.
Here is another example, compatible with IE6+: http://jsfiddle.net/DhaHP/12/
Result: http://jsfiddle.net/DhaHP/12/embedded/result
Abstract of the changes:
Changed #left and #right to be above the #center (#right before #left);
min-width and max-width on #container to 800px and 1200px respectively;
No float on #center;
margin-left and margin-right on #center equals the width of each side column;
float-left on #left and float-right on #right;
The only obs on this for IE6 is the min-width and max-width that doesn't work without a little hack or the use of IE7.js. On IE7, it works as should be.
Here's a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/PhilippeVay/DhaHP/8/ (edit: now works with Chromium)
Modifications made:
HTML: #left before #center column
CSS: no relative positioning at all
display: table; on parent and table-cell on the 3 columns. This will be visually (and only visually) a table. Well, a table layout and not a table structure.
200px width on #left and #right
table-layout: fixed; on parent to switch the table algorithm to the one that respect dimensions as told by the author and not those guessed by dimensions of content of cells
Constrained widths for the parent min-width: 800px; (400+200+200) and on the grand-parent max-width: 1200px; (800+200+200) (edit: max-height on #container only worked on Fx, not Chrome). To my surprise, it works as is.
Compatibility: IE8+
You can play with inline-block with IE6/7 if needed (well, display: inline; zoom: 1; the IE6/7 equivalent of inline-block for outdated browsers)
In the image below, you can see i have two tabs help and Instructions, i want to place these two tabs next to each other where the Help tab currently is. When i use the margin-left: property, only the help button moves to the left and the instructions button stays in the same place.
The css i am using to configure this:
.v-csslayout-topbarapplicant .v-button,
.v-csslayout-topbarapplicant .v-nativebutton,
.v-csslayout-topbarapplicant-invert .v-button,
.v-csslayout-topbarapplicant-invert .v-nativebutton {
float: right;
display: inline;
margin-right:0px;
margin-left: 268px;
margin-top: -18px;
padding: 0 3px 2px 0;
line-height: 11px;
}
How can i change the spacing so that both tabs (vaadin components) move together?
You need to make sure both items are wrapped with a div. Then you set the margin-left to that div, not only one of the items.
There's no way of telling in the CSS that you posted which items are being manipulated. If both of these items, "help" and "Instructions", are in the CSS you posted, then you to need to change it so that both items exist as one, meaning in one div. If only one of these items exist in your CSS that you posted, then you have only one of them being manipulated with the CSS, and that one is floating right. Ensure both items are floated in the same direction and they are wrapped. Apply the margin to this wrapper div.
The general structure should look like this:
CSS:
#help, #instructions {
float: right;
}
div#wrapper {
margin-left: 268px;
] /* wrapper containing both items, "help" and "Instructions" */
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="help"></div>
<div id="instructions"></div>
</div>
I think that you are having some inheritance problems.
I would suggest first checking what inheritance this property is following, and if you still have problems I would then create separate divs for Help and Instructions, where instructions has a different right margin. I hope this helps! This type of problems are stubborn.
I am trying to achieve a layout where items will float like newspaper/magazine article sections. It is something similar as what jQuery's Masonry does. But I was trying to achieve that only using CSS3. I thought perhaps the box display property could do it. Although after trying for few times, I wasn't able to make the items slide down after the parent column width as fulfilled.
Is there any way to achieve this layout only using CSS?
The markup would be something like this:
<article>
<section>...</section>
<section>...</section>
<section>...</section>
<section>...</section>
</article>
Here a section would float left and adjust itself on the columns queue where better fit (and not bellow the baseline of the previous one, as simple float does).
It's possible using CSS columns. Here is a good explanation.
CSS:
div{
-moz-column-count: 3;
-moz-column-gap: 10px;
-webkit-column-count: 3;
-webkit-column-gap: 10px;
column-count: 3;
column-gap: 10px;
width: 480px; }
div a{
display: inline-block; /* Display inline-block, and absolutely NO FLOATS! */
margin-bottom: 20px;
width: 100%; }
HTML:
<div>
Whatever stuff you want to put in here. Images, text, movies, what have you. No, really, anything!
...and so on and so forth ad nauseum.
</div>
Also, I found this site by searching "CSS Masonry" on Google. It was the second result.
Is there any way to achieve this in CSS3?:
height: 100% -110px;
My context:
You can't calulate it with pure CSS. (it will not work in all browsers, as mentioned by Litek ) But there is a organizational way to handle this, but you will need to wrap you element in a other one:
body {
height; 100%;
padding: 0 0 20px;
}
div#wrap {
background: #fff;
height: 100%;
padding: 0 0 20px;
margin: 0 0 -20px;
}
div#wrap div { //this would be your actual element
height: 100%;
background: pink;
}
What you want to use is calc() that is comming to FF and propably webkit, but don't count on it being widely supported anytime soon.
As for your example, maybe sticky footer will be some inspiration for you.
Edit
Nowadays it's well supported by major browsers:
http://caniuse.com/calc
Directly like that i'm not aware of any feature widely adopted to do that.
But there is a easy method to achieve the effect.
Put all element inside a container <div> with 'height: 100%', this container should have position relative so you can position the other elements inside it relative to its position. place the header on top and the footer at bottom with absolute positioning and calculate with javascript the height that the content div must have.
You can also subscribe the 'window.onResize' event to recalculate when the window is resized.
I know this is not a clean and prety solution, but is the one the you can make work well in almost any browser.
In the context it was given the 2nd div height value doesn't really matter. Actually it's only important where that div starts and where it ends.
In other words height = vertical end - vertical start:
#div2 {
position:absolute;
top:90px;/*20+50+20*/
bottom:20px;
}
