This is my html code and css code when I add an element inside a div one block is going down. Is there any problem with display inline block part. I really can't figure out hope somebody will help
Thanks.
You can use this css hope it's work
.dashboard-monthly-sales{
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
background-color: #252525;
border: 1px solid #595E57;
width: 40%;
height: 250px;
vertical-align:top; // Add this line in your code
}
.dashboard-small-total-sales{
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
background-color: #252525;
border: 1px solid #595E57;
width: 25%;
height: 250px;
vertical-align:top; // Add this line in your code
}
otherwise, you can use display: flex it helps you what you want
Simply adding vertical-align: top; to the first div solves the problem. This tells the CSS to align the element to the top of the tallest element on the line.
.dashboard-monthly-sales
{
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
background-color: #252525;
border: 1px solid #595E57;
width: 40%;
height: 250px;
vertical-align: top;
}
.dashboard-small-total-sales
{
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
background-color: #252525;
border: 1px solid #595E57;
width: 25%;
height: 250px;
}
h2 {
display: block;
}
<div class="dashboard-monthly-sales">
<h2>Monthly Sales - <?php echo date("Y"); ?></h2>
</div>
<div class="dashboard-small-total-sales">
</div>
Try to use a main div containing the inner divs, so that all the inner divs will be aligned inside that main div. And use some css changes as below, so that adding the text inside the empty div will not affect the alignment.
.dashboard-monthly-sales
{
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
background-color: #252525;
border: 1px solid #595E57;
width: 40%;
height: 250px;
}
.dashboard-small-total-sales
{
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
background-color: #252525;
border: 1px solid #595E57;
width: 25%;
height: 250px;
}
.container{
display: inline-flex;
width: 100%;
}
<html>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="dashboard-monthly-sales">
<h2>Monthly Sales - <?php echo date("Y"); ?></h2>
</div>
<div class="dashboard-small-total-sales">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
use one div as a container which will cover both divs. and in CSS use positioning properties and align it to according to your wish. first off all define the width of whole page.

I would like to know, if it is possible to give to a border-bottom something like a padding-left and padding-right. I have two divs, which have some borders. I would like to make the border-bottom of the top div to have some padding on left and right. I have no idea if this is possible. I know the structure is strange (I could easy use the border around the whole box wrapper and than work on the span with a border-bottom to achieve this). The problem is, I'm using a plugin which has a structure like this and I have to customize it like this, because there is exactly this strucure and styling. Hope it's clear enough. Here a picture how it should look and an example snippet:
.box {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
width: 200px;
}
.box__top {
border: 1px solid black;
border-bottom: 1px solid red;
height: 20px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
.box__bottom {
border: 1px solid black;
border-top: none;
height: 150px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="box">
<div class="box__top">
<span>I'm the top section</span>
</div>
<div class="box__bottom">
<span>I'm the top section</span>
</div>
</div>
Use a pseudo-element instead:
.box {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
width: 200px;
}
.box__top {
border: 1px solid black;
border-bottom: none;
position: relative;
height: 20px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
.box__top::after {
content: " ";
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
bottom: 0;
width: 90%;
height: 1px;
background-color: red;
}
.box__bottom {
border: 1px solid black;
border-top: none;
height: 150px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
<div class="box">
<div class="box__top">
<span>I'm the top section</span>
</div>
<div class="box__bottom">
<span>I'm the top section</span>
</div>

My second inner div position is weirdly adjusted when my first inner div have a long link text. How to fix it?
My html code:
<div class='div-wrapper'>
<div class='inner-div1'>
This is a long link
</div>
<div class='inner-div2'>
Link 2
</div>
</div>
My css code:
.div-wrapper {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 200px;
height:70px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 0;
}
.div-wrapper div {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid black;
width: 90px;
height: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
.div-wrapper div a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
}

The problem is with your CSS. Particularly the .div-wrapper div
You need to change the display setting from inline-block to inline-table to get it inside the cell. You mentioned that you wanted the box inside the larger box, but you need to clarify how exactly you want the inner boxes to be placed inside the larger box (ex: small gap between the boxes, both perfectly fit inside the large box with equal sizes)
Just changed inline-block to inline-flex for your inner div and looks fine.
.div-wrapper {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 200px;
height:70px;
margin: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
padding: 0;
}
.div-wrapper div {
display: inline-flex;
border: 1px solid black;
width: 90px;
height: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
.div-wrapper div a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
}
<div class='div-wrapper'>
<div class='inner-div1'>
This is a long link
</div>
<div class='inner-div2'>
Link 2
</div>
</div>
Just have to fix this, I don't think any solution here explains why the problem exists. Just to add up, the problem with this is because vertical-align is set to baseline by default.
What you have to do is set the vertical-align to top
Insert it in your CSS:
.div-wrapper div {
vertical-align: top;
}

Why does this CSS margin-top style not work?
(14 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
Don't mind the commented out lines. I'm experimenting with the box model, but can't seem to figure out why I can't use margin-top to drop the yellow box a bit down? I can use margin-left to get it to move to the right, so that seem weird to me... Thanks.
I'd like to understand why this happens :)
.largebox {
width: 800px;
height: 350px;
background-color: #00f;
//padding-left: 50px;
margin-left: 10px;
//border: 2px solid black;
}
.box1 {
width: 250px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #ff0;
//display: inline;
//float: left;
//margin-right: 0px;
margin-left: 50px;
margin-top: 25px;
}
<div class="largebox">
<div class="box1"></div>
</div>
This happens due to margin collapsing - so a border, padding to the parent element or inline content (any inline element) will switch off margin collapsing.
See demo below:
.largebox {
width: 800px;
height: 350px;
background-color: #00f;
margin-left: 10px;
border: 1px solid; /*ADDED THIS*/
}
.box1 {
width: 250px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #ff0;
margin-left: 50px;
margin-top: 25px;
}
<div class="largebox">
<div class="box1"></div>
</div>
Use display:inline-block; in box1
.largebox {
width: 800px;
height: 350px;
background-color: #00f;
//padding-left: 50px;
margin-left: 10px;
//border: 2px solid black;
}
.box1 {
width: 250px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #ff0;
//display: inline;
//float: left;
//margin-right: 0px;
margin-left: 50px;
margin-top: 25px;
display:inline-block;
}
<div class="largebox">
<div class="box1"></div>
</div>
You can try using position:absolute; in .box1 like this:
.box1{
position:absolute;
}
I am trying to make an online portfolio for myself and I have a bottom container for the bottom half of the screen and I would like to place 3 buttons at the top of the container. I have got it to work except when you resize the page. When you shrink the page's width the buttons will overlap. How can I stop them from overlapping? I want them to go close together side by side but not overlap.

Thank you
you don't need to absolute position the buttons if you have the container fixed. you can use inline-block and just text-align: center on your container. Also there are errors in your css, like there is no float: center;, you can also skip the # and use class as they share css properties. But I agree that Bootstrap is the way to go for responsive, and especially if you are new.
#bottom {
border-top: 2px solid black;
text-align: center;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
display: block;
position: fixed;
border: 2px solid black;
padding: 15px;
padding-bottom: 17px;
}
.nav-button {
display: inline-block;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
border: 2px solid black;
border-radius: 20px;
padding: 5px;
background-color: #7dd7f5;
text-align: center;
}
<div id="bottom">
<div class="nav-button">Resume</div>
<div class="nav-button">Cover Letter</div>
<div class="nav-button">Portfolio</div>
</div>
The bootstrap grid system is great at this. I recommend using it in combination with some of your custom styles to produce a bottom section split into equally sized columns.
Grids are split into 12 columns, so columns of 4 (e.g. col-md-4) will split into evenly spaced vertically.
For the bottom, that would look something like:
<div id="bottom">
<div id="navbuttons" class="row">
<div id="resumebutton" class="col-md-4">Resume</div>
<div id="coverletterbutton" class="col-md-4">Cover Letter</div>
<div id="portfoliobutton" class="col-md-4">Portfolio</div>
</div>
</div>
You can make these columns wrapper divs if you want to center smaller buttons inside those columns, but the grid structure is a good place to start.
You can just delete attribute position: absolute; from all buttons ( resumebutton, coverletterbutton and portfoliobutton) and add text-align: center to navbuttons selector.
Consider removing the absolutepositioning to replace the elements in question back into the flow of the document. They'll have relation to each other now, so you won't need to rely on positioning rules like left and right.
The elements are already displayed inline-block so just declare a text-align: center rule to the parent and the nested elements will align accordingly.
In the snippet example below, margins have been added around each button for spacing, repetitive rules have been replaced with one instance using a class selector applied to all button elements, note that float: center; is not a valid rule.

margin-left: 33%;

So I'm trying to get divs to fit perfectly in a wrapper using fixed pixels for width and height. Although I'm confused as to how the pixels don't add up properly.
HTML
<div class="div1">
<img src="image.png" alt="image" class="image">

<div class="div2">
</div>
<div class="div3">

<div class="div4">

CSS
#wrapper {
height: 455px;
width: 690px;
background-color: grey;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
white-space:nowrap;
}
.div1 {
display: inline-block;
margin-bottom: 10px;
vertical-align:top;
}
.image {
max-width: 172px;
max-height: 172px;
border-radius: 2%;
border: 4px solid blue;
}
.div2 {
height: 172px;
width: 277px;
border: 4px solid blue;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 30px;
background-color: purple;
}
.div3 {
width: 159px;
height: 188px;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 30px;
border-left: 4px solid blue;
border-right: 2px solid blue;
border-top: 2px solid blue;
vertical-align: top;
background-color: purple;
}
.div4 {
background: url(image.png) no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
width: 690px;
height: 265px;
}
If the parent div is 690px wide why can't the child divs add up to 690 with calculated widths, margin and boarders.
(div1)180 + 30 + (div2)285 + 30 + (div3)165 = 690px
If you look at div 3 it's right border can't be seen. You have to reduce the width by 7px to see it.
This is also happening vertically with a 190px div3 height meant to touch div4 exactly but is off by 4px.
Is this a browser issue? Default Alignment issues I'm not aware of? I'm really curious to know why this happens!
Any feedback would be appreciated. : )
If you put comments like this in your HTML you can fix the top but for the image in the 2nd line I dont know yet I continue trying
