Disappeared blank space between span's after upgrade libraries - html

I upgraded my libraries from angular 11 to 15 and a lot of rest libraries (eg. boostrap and ngxboostrap to the highest versions).
After this operation I lost the empty space between some elements, e.g. span's.
Earlier version of the application:
Currently:
My code from inspector:
<h4>
<span>Sammenlign</span>
<span>3/3</span>
</h4>
Its looks like as if some pseudo element is defined or whatever else. When I tries to track this space in the inspector, I can't see anything. I looked at the border box also does not affect it, anyone have any ideas?

There shouldn't be a space between 2 span without a specific css rule.
You're observing the correct behaviour.
If you want your previous behaviour, a rule like following will do it :
h4 span:not(:first-child) {
margin-left: 4px;
}

Prevent white space from wrapping together with word

The easiest way to describe my problem is by example: http://jsfiddle.net/trSwG/1/
The first paragraph is great, it's displayed exactly how I want it to. No matter how much white-space is added to the first line, it's truncated and isn't wrapped to the second line.
The second paragraph is where the problem lies. The space preceding the word "case" should not be included on this line, I want it to stay on the line above and act like how it does in the first paragraph.
The third paragraph is also fine, this is just to show that I want white-space to be preserved. It's also worth noting I don't want words broken (word-break: break-all).
I've attached a screenshot below, just in case it's rendering differently on your browsers. I'm using Chrome 28.0.1500.72 m:
You'll notice I'm using the lettering.js plugin to wrap every character inside a span, this is required for a feature we're developing.
What I've learnt so far:
It seems the spans are causing the problem, if you remove lettering call:
//$('p').lettering();
it all works as I need it. Somehow the spans are acting differently than normal text.
Update: The html itself cannot be manually edited either. It's created by a Flash content management tool and saved together with other properties as XML. There are thousands of these xml documents. The server has a chance to process the XML before it's sent as HTML to the front end, so any solution involving changing the html would need to be scripted.
EDIT
What about simply in CSS:
p {
width: 160px;
white-space: pre-line;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 13px;
}
p:last-child {
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
Turned out to be a Chrome bug in version 28: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=246127
It's fixed in the currently beta version 29, only a matter of time before it gets pushed to the public build.

Which elements can be safely made contenteditable?

I've been working with contenteditable recently within a HTML5 page and encountering bugs when using it with certain elements, and I'd like to know where and how I can actually safely use it.
I've discovered that making a span element contenteditable results in some buggy behaviour in both Firefox1 and Chrome2. However, making a div or section contenteditable appears completely safe3.
A guideline a couple of people have mentioned is that only block-level elements should be made contenteditable. However, the Mozilla Developer Network lists the heading elements h1 through to h6 as block-level elements, and making a heading element contenteditable is buggy in Firefox4 and can crash the page in Chrome5.
I'd like to be able to use more than just divs and sections, but I'm not clear on what elements I can actually safely make contenteditable. By safely, I mean that using the element under normal conditions, I should be able to perform normal editing tasks without it doing unexpected or buggy things. I should be able to write in it, delete content, cut, copy, paste, and move my text cursor about and highlight text without unexpected or strange behaviour.
So, which elements can I really make contenteditable safely? Is there a specific category? Are there certain criteria the safely-contenteditable element must match?
Bug notes:
Firefox 21 w/ span: Element loses focus if the text cursor is brought to the beginning or end of the element, but not if it got there by deleting content. Highlighting part of the element, cutting and then pasting will split the element in two at that point then insert a blank element between the two parts - without actually putting the text you were trying to paste anywhere.
Chrome 27 w/ span: If the span covers multiple lines e.g. by being wordwrapped, cutting and pasting content will often insert a linebreak after the pasted content.
Unless you make the div display:inline, in which case it can still lose focus as in 1, but apparently only if you bring the text cursor to the end. I don't consider this "normal" usage of the element though.
Firefox 21 w/ heading: Selecting part of the content then cutting and pasting will, similarly to 1, split the heading element in half at that point, and insert a third heading element between the two halves. It will, at least, have your pasted content inside it, but now you have three heading elements where there was originally one.
Chrome 27 w/ heading: Select some content and cut and paste. The page crashes. You get an "Aw snap!" message. That's it.
Demo code
Here's a demo for reproducing the above. It's pretty simple, though at the moment the only thing it isn't reproducing is the lose-focus bug.
[contenteditable=true] {
border: 1px dotted #999;
}
<article style="width: 100px">
<h1 contenteditable="true">Heading</h1>
<p>
<strong>Some adjacent content</strong>
<span contenteditable="true">Span! This is long enough it will spread over multiple lines.</span>
</p>
<div style="display: inline" contenteditable="true">An inline div also with multiple lines.</div>
</article>
In my opinion, I'd say div is the safest bet across the board. Any element you wish to truly edit (be it a span, header, etc), you can place inside the div and edit as if it were just that element. Also, to account for the display:inline issue you mentioned, you could always use float:left or float:right on your editable div to give it an "inline feel" without having it actually be inline.
Hope that helps!
Since this is an evolving feature with, apparent, low priority from the browser vendors support has been sketchy and regressions not uncommon. The current state of affairs is evolving, so check the Googles, CanIUse etc and make sure support is there for your sites visitors, everything else is moot ...
Support in Firefox seems to be solid, at least for some elements, now https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Editable_content
It works well in Chrome as well as far as my testing goes.
And CanIUse looks good: http://caniuse.com/#feat=contenteditable
There are a number of different bugs related to the feature in the different browsers though, but for simple use cases it should be ok now, as of August 2016.

Html elements with same "top" value appearing in different locations

I have an image and a rectangle (a paragraph with a coloured background) that should have their tops line up. They're both absolutely positioned and have the same style-top value, but the top of the rectangle is appearing about 15px below the top of the image, and I can't figure out why. Is there any reason why this might be happening?
HTML:
<img class="v1" id="image" src="/COMP2405A4/images/resized_adorkable!.jpg" style="position:absolute;top:313px;left: 61px;" alt = "Your Image">
<p class="mask" id="tmask" style="position:absolute;top:313px;left: 61px;width: 400px;height: 20px"> </p>
CSS:
p.mask {background: rgb(255,255,255);
opacity:0.5;
}
Your elements don't line up because the margins of your elements aren't the same.
Try explicitly setting margin: 0; on the p element.
Seems like you have the right idea. One of your other classes may be throwing you off. I made an example if you want to take a look.
http://jsfiddle.net/hwrQA/
It can't be other classes since the relevant styles are applied through a style tag, which overrides the default styles it may have.
However I can theorize that it may have to do with on of the elements, probably the image, having additional styles through the stylesheet creating extra offset.
Like padding on an image, the effect differs per browser but it may create the extra offset.
The best thing you can do to check why the offset it not correct is use the developer tools in chrome or firebug in firefox to select the relevant element and see which styles get applied and where they are coming from. Internet Explorer has debugging tools too but I wouldn't recommend them to start with.
If you want a better answer you're going to have to reproduce it in jsfiddle so we can see what is wrong. Try taking away stuff until nothing irrelevant to be bug remains, or if the bug dissapeared in this process you may have solved it yourself. Read the how to ask faq for more information.

How to highlight top line of ruby markup text (for copy+paste)?

I am creating HTML pages with a base string and annotations on top of the base string's words and letters. Right now I'm using the ruby, rb and rt tags and I tried tables and divs too. It looks like this:
Source:
<body>
<ruby>
<rb>新</rb><rt>しん</rt>
<rb>Brasil</rb><rt>ブラジル</rt>
<rb>1</rb><rt>いち</rt>
etc.
My question is: Is there a way to rewrite the HTML, so the output looks roughly the same, but at the same time allow highlighting only the small characters shown in yellow, without having to select the big letters with them (so that the selection can be copied to the clipboard)?
Right now, and with the simple table cell methods I tried, you are forced to highlight big letters with the small.
The picture makes the association look totally random, but the tricky part is that the markup has to line up centered with the corresponding "big" letters.
<style>
.r { display: inline-block; text-align: center;}
.ra { display: block; font-size: 60%; }
</style>
<a class=r><span class=ra>しん</span>新</a>
<a class=r><span class=ra>ブラジル</span>Brasil</a>
<a class=r><span class=ra>いち</span>1</a>
On browsers that support ruby markup, the ruby annotations looks selectable and copyable to me. But on IE, when an annotation is selected, the distinctive background color used the browser extends down over the base texts as well, so it looks like you had selected both. If you do Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V then, you’ll see that only the annotation is copied. On Chrome, this problem does not exist: only the selected annotation is highlighted.
This could still be seen a problem. There is the perhaps more serious problem that Firefox does not support ruby markup.
The code I suggest above uses text-level markup with classes instead of ruby markup and styling that displays it in a ruby-like manner. I put the annotation before the annotated word, since then it is easy to place the annotation above the base text—without positioning, just by making the container element an inline block and the annotation a block inside it.
The markup is a bit messy, but this approach works widely across browsers. I suppose main problem is with display: inline-block, but it seems that in simple use like this, support exists even in old versions of IE (from IE 5.5).

Strange gap between <div> elements in IE, not in FF or Opera

I know this kind of question must get asked all the time but I haven't found a solution for my problem yet.
Using FF, Opera and the IE that is on Windows 7 (can't remember what it is), the page looks exactly as it should, but using IE7 on Windows Vista, there is a gap between my navigation bar and the rest of the page which frankly makes it look stupid, and the illusion of tabbed pages is lost.
I have a reset stylesheet to reset all the elements to have no padding, margins etc and FF, Opera and the IE on Windows 7 produce the page as they should, it's only IE7 (and I'm guessing earlier versions of IE) that don't.
Here are 2 screenshots showing the problem, the first from FF/Opera/IE on Windows 7:
This one is from IE7 on Windows Vista:
alt text http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7558/figarosiegap.jpg
And here is a link to the actual website in question: Figaro's Ristorante
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks for your time.
I've run into this problem a bazillion times. Add this to your CSS:
#header img { vertical-align: bottom }
There's a funny bug in IE up to and including version 7 where it will treat some whitespace (an empty text node, really) as a real text node, and align the image as if there was text in the element as well.
Another option would be to declare the image as a block level element:
#header img { display: block }
This CSS is safe to add to your global file, it will not interfere with how other browsers render the page.
The IE on windows 7 is IE8
I've taken a look at it using IE7, and the gap appears to be because of the image in the 'header' div. If you look at it with a tool like IE Developer toolbar you can see the boundaries around the objects on the page.
Sorry i cant paste an image but i'll try to describe it:
there is a #text element after the image which is being forced onto a new line by IE7.
if you change the style on the img to include
float: left;
This fixes the problem for me.
Hope this helps!
(Let me know if you need more clarity)
The gap is part of the text line where the menu image is, because the image is an inline element so it's placed on the baseline of the text line. The gap is the distance from the baseline of the text to the bottom edge of the line, i.e. the space used by hanging characters like 'g' and 'j'.
Simply adding display:block; to the style of the image solves the problem. It turns the image element from an inline element to a block element so that it's not placed on a base line of the text but as a separate element.
I've run into this problem a thousand times, and finally, after using overly complicated fix after fix, the answer is simple! (At least when <img>'s are involved.) In the div that is producing a gap under it, add 'overflow: hidden;' to its css; you will need to set its height, of course. So, if your div is 39px high, this will keep it at 39px high, ignoring the extra whitespace IE loves to put under <img>s
Hope it helps.
There's not much useful information (html or pictures that work) in this question. So, here's a random guess.
I've had situations where a line-break or spaces between elements can cause vertical space between elements. Try placing the closing and opening tags immediately next to each other and see if this corrects the issue.
Different browsers all have different default margins and padding. In this case, I'm guessing IE7s defaults are throwing you off. There are two general solutions to the problem. You can set your own margin and padding at the html, body level:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
or you can use IE conditional comments to load sepearte stylesheets for different versions of IE. Last I checked, the conditional comments were considered a better solution because browser defaults do provide some usefulness.
Jason is correct that it's a bug in how IE handles whitespace in the html... treating it as a text node. Though I don't think it's unique to images. I believe I've seen this behavior with divs as well. As a global change you may try applying vertical-align:bottom to both images and divs. Though I don't know what mayhem that may produce.
But the quick and dirty fix is to just remove the whitespace. Kinda sucks, but change stuff like this:
<img src="blah" alt="" width="5" height="5" />
<div>blorg</div>
To this:
<img src="blah" alt="" width="5" height="5"
/><div>blorg</div>
I warned that this is quick and dirty. But it works.
