Could someone explain me what's going on with this small piece of HTML ?
http://jsbin.com/akome5
On most of current browsers (FF4, Chrome10, IE9, IE8, Opera 11), the layout of the element looks like this :
Meh?! I don't understand why ?!
Why aren't the height and width as big as the visible box (orange+red spaces) ?
Adding a "display:inline-block;" to the element doesn't seems to really fix it.
How can I fix it ?
Thx!!
Setting a width and height on an A tag
Try adding the following styles.
a.button {
display: block;
float: left;
overflow: auto;
}
a.button span {
display: block;
float: left;
}
I'd propose a different approach involving no spans
html:
<a class="button2" href="#">Text Text Text</a>
css:
/* Button 2 */
.button2 {
background-color:red;
border:solid 10px orange;
border-top:0;
border-bottom:0;
display:inline-block;
color:#fff;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
line-height:30px;
text-decoration:none;
padding:0 3px;
}
old (top) new (bottom)

For information I manage to do it without float:left, here is the whole CSS :
a.button{
display: inline-block; /* <- added */
text-decoration: none;
}
a.button span{
display: inline-block;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px; /* <- added */
text-decoration: none;
}
a.button .left, a.button .right{
background-color: orange;
width: 10px;
}
a.button .text{
background-color: red;
color: white;
}
The line-height instruction was the key.

I am trying to center the content of a flexbox vertically and horizontally but it doesn't seem to work:
Here is the CSS:
#about{
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
.btn-about {
-webkit-border-radius: 2;
-moz-border-radius: 2;
border-radius: 2px;
color: #2A77C8;
font-size: 1.8em;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 1em 3em;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
}
and the HTML:
<div class="section" id="about">
<div class="element"></div>
<div class="btn-about">Wer bin ich?</div>
</div>
Thank you very much for your support!
Sorry! The mistake was mine. I am using fullPage.js and the flexbox centering does not work unless you initialize the function with the option:
verticalCentered: false
Use
html,body, .section{
width:100%;
height: 100%;
}
in addition to above css

On (my site) I would like to place the menubar in the center of the page.
Here the code of my menubar:
#navigation {
padding-bottom: auto;
width: 960px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
overflow: hidden;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
border: 0px solid;
border-radius: 15px;
color: #000000;
display: inline-block;
}
Thanks in advance for helping me! :)
Add width: 100%; to your #navigation for a full-wdith centered menu.
Or change the display to block for a centered menu without a full-width background.
If you want to keep the yellow line under, add a 1px bottom margin. This will shift the rest one pixel lower and it will reveal a yellow line.
margin-bottom: 1px
Working JSFiddle for this: http://jsfiddle.net/qwnwkp7u/2/
Switch display: inline-block; to display: block;
I guess you need to understand something about block and inline-block elements.
Block elements , if sized and smaller than page/container can basicly; be centered with margin:auto;.
Inline-block element behaves like text and can follow text-align value.
To center your menu , you have then 2 options:
margin:auto; with a block formating, you need then just to remove your inline-block display wich does:
#navigation {
padding-bottom: auto;
width: 960px;
margin: auto;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
overflow: hidden;
font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
border: 0px solid;
border-radius: 15px;
color: #000000;
}
or
text-align:center; from its parent if as an inline boxe. Wich would be here :
.bg-wrapper {
text-align:center;
}
If inline-block was here used to trigger some special layout , like to hold floatting elements, you could here turn display:block into display:table;.

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   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;

I have an OUTER div with two inner divs:
one of them is VERTICAL SIDEBAR whose content is fairly short
second one is div with MAIN PAGE whose content varies
They are both set to float: left, so they are next to each other.
I already learned that when setting height or min-height in percentage, all the parents need to have their height specified also.
I would like them both to be stretched to the end of the page. Havent managed to do that, problems begin when MAIN PAGE div is longer than monitor height( so there needs to be scrollbar), then I usually end with that nasty scrollbar inside MAIN PAGE div or I end with the SIDEBAR div being too short.
ok you should set the Outer divs css like so
.outer{
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right:0;
overflow:auto;
}
This will set the outer div to completely fill the window, with a side bar to scroll the length of the rest of the page. You would only have one main side scrollbar.
Now if you want the sidebar to just fill the page. set its css like so:
.sideBar{
position:absolute //can be relative if necesary.
top:0;
bottom:0;
overflow:none;
}
Now this sets the sidebar to the exact height of the outer div. so it will span the entire page and the overflow is set to none to ensure no scrollbar.
Now the outer div's and sidebar div's height should be dictated by the main div, and you should only have one clean scroll bar.
You could do something like this:
jsFiddle
Setting display: table-cell on both div's inside the outer div with display: table-row will ensure they are always the same height, you'll have to set display: table on body for this to work, or you could just set it directly on the outer div instead of table-row. That will work just fine. This approach should work on anything better than IE7.
CSS:
html {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
top:0px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
overflow: scroll-x;
}
body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
display: table;
}
.outer {
display: table-row;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.sidebar, .mainpage {
display: table-cell;
height: 100%;
}
.sidebar {
width: 200px;
background-color: #EFEFEF;
}
HTML
<div class="outer">
<div class="sidebar">sidebar</div>
<div class="mainpage">mainpage</div>
</div>
After seeing your site, this is the fix:
.Page {
width: 970px;
min-height: 100%;
width: 100%;
display: table;
}
.Sidebar {
width: 257px;
background: url(img/sidebar-bg.png) repeat-y;
margin-left: 23px;
background: white;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
}
.Sidebar-Nav {
padding-left: 15px;
}
.Content {
background: url(img/content-bg.png) repeat;
margin-left: 10px;
width: 680px;
float: left;
background: white;
display: table-cell;
padding: 10px;
}
EDIT: I forgot the .Page styles, I added it.
EDIT: Also, if you want to center it, then use this:
html, body {
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
body {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
line-height: 21px;
background: url(img/bg-page-01.jpg) no-repeat;
background-position: 50% 0%;
}
.Page {
height: 100%;
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.Sidebar {
width: 257px;
height: 100%;
background: url(img/sidebar-bg.png) repeat-y;
background: white;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
}
.Sidebar-Nav {
padding-left: 15px;
}
.Content {
height: 100%;
background: url(img/content-bg.png) repeat;
margin-left: 10px;
width: 680px;
float: left;
background: white;
display: table-cell;
padding: 10px;
}
If your talking about height issues here, then use this:
html, body {
height: 100%;
min-height: 100% /* for firefox */
}
#main, #sidebar {
height: 100%;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-o-box-sizing: border-box;
-ms-box-sizing: border-box;
-khtml-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box; /* eliminates increased height due to padding & child margins */
}
#sidebar { background: blue; width: 200px; float:left; margin: 0; }
#main { background: green; width: 960px; margin: 0 0 0 200px; }
edit: fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/jTwqe/
I'm not really sure what your issue is, but is an alternate solution.
.outer { display: table; }
.sidebar, .main { display: table-cell; padding: 10px; }
.sidebar { background: green; }
.main { background: blue; }

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"
