Closed 3 years ago.
im trying to turn a design into code with html and css, but im stumped at a part in the hero section. What's the best way to position this logo with the border that stops around it.
attached is an image of the design i am trying to re-create

you can use before and after classes as
::before and ::after then add border and position it on the top of the corner left and right.

check its working properly

This is what I would do:
Wrapper element (.box-border) with two children: .box-border__top & .box-border__img
Put a border on .box-border but no top border
For the top border, use .box-border__top consisting of three elements:
.box-border__top:before: a line
.box-border__img: the logo, aligned in the center
.box-border__top:after: a line
To add spacing around the image, use .box-border__content with padding: 5em
body {
background: url(https://www.goodfreephotos.com/albums/vector-images/farm-landscape-illustration-vector-graphics.png);
background-size: cover;
}
.box-border { /* All side borders by the top */
border: .5em solid brown;
border-top: 0;
text-align: center;
}
.box-border__top { /* Align the image & borders */
display: flex;
}
.box-border__top:before,
.box-border__top:after {
content: '';
display: block;
width: 100%;
border-top: .5em solid brown; /* Sections of the top image */
}
.box-border__img { /* Center Image */
transform: translateY(-50%);
margin: 0 0 -99%;
}
/* Add some padding on the bottom */
.box-border__content { padding: 5em; }
<div class="box-border">

You can use float: right;.
You can also find other solutions here How do I right align div elements?
You could use position absolute to remove the element from the DOM and move your element anywhere relative to the first containing parent element up the DOM tree that has a position set. Then use positioning props like top, right, bottom and/or left to move the element on the page.
See MDN on position for more info
:root {
--padding: .5em;
}
/* This is the parent element, set its position to relative
so the right-div will be positioneed relative to it */
#parent {
background: red;
padding: .5em;
position: relative;
}
#first-div {
background: yellow;
padding: var(--padding);
}
p {
padding: var(--padding);
background: white;
}
/* set this divs position to absolute so its top, left, bottom, right
positioning props will be relative to its closest parent set to relative */
#right-div {
position: absolute;
right: calc(var(--padding) + 0px);
top: calc(var(--padding) + 0px);
background: green;
color: white;
padding: var(--padding);
<div id="parent">
<div id="first-div">This is the first div</div>
<p>This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a
paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph This is a paragraph</p>
<div id="right-div">This is the right div</div>
</div>
I ended up setting the position to absolute and using vw as the property for the left attribute.
.hamburger-menu {
background-color: transparent;
border: none;
position: absolute;
left: 80vw;
margin-right: 5vw;
}

Css :after and :before pseudo element not working properly in IOS

I am trying to dash after border in H tag using :after and :before it's working fine on desktop & android devices but create issue in IOS devices
border made using :after and :before but text of h element doesn't display
below is a demo of other devices
below is a demo of IOS devices
h2.service-heading {
font-size: 36px;
color: #762d2f;
text-transform: uppercase;
position: relative;
display: table;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: calc(100% - 36px);
position: relative;
}
h2.service-heading::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;

}
<h2 class="service-heading" align="center"> Our Services</h2>
Can anyone help with this
Thanks in advance
You don't need to pseudo element for that. Can be made easily with only background.
h2.service-heading {
font-size: 36px;
color: #762d2f;
text-transform: uppercase;
display: table;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: calc(100% - 36px);
padding-right: 15px;
background: linear-gradient(#762d2f, #762d2f) 0 100% / calc(100% - 15px) 6px no-repeat,
linear-gradient(#762d2f, #762d2f) 100% 100% / 10px 6px no-repeat;
}
<h2 class="service-heading" align="center"> Our Services</h2>
Also can be used some CSS variables to control everything easily.
h2.service-heading {
--border-height: 6px;
--second-border-width: 20px;
--border-gap: 10px;
font-size: 36px;
color: #762d2f;
text-transform: uppercase;
display: table;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: calc(100% - 36px);
padding-bottom: 5px; /* bottom distance of border */
padding-right: calc(var(--second-border-width) + var(--border-gap));
background: linear-gradient(#762d2f, #762d2f) 0 100% / calc(100% - (var(--second-border-width) + var(--border-gap))) var(--border-height) no-repeat,
linear-gradient(#762d2f, #762d2f) 100% 100% / var(--second-border-width) var(--border-height) no-repeat;
}
<h2 class="service-heading" align="center"> Our Services</h2>
I had the similar problem: dropdown-arrow for menu item performed as pseudoclass ::after didn't work for IOS. enter image description here
Next code snippet I utilized for SASS:
.nav-link {
border-top: 1px solid var(--color-white);
color: var(--color-white);
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 22px;
font-weight: 400;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px 15px 10px 0;
&::after {
content: " ";
border: none;
background-image: var(--arrow-down);
background-position: center center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 40px;
height: 20px;
}
}
so the solution was to remove arrows from pseudoclass ::after and perform it as a background image for menu item, like next:
.nav-link {
display: block;
border-top: 1px solid var(--color-white);
color: var(--color-white);
font-size: 18px;
line-height: 22px;
font-weight: 400;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px 15px 10px 0;
background-image: var(--arrow-down);
background-position: 98%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background: var(--arrow-down) no-repeat 98%;
&::after {
display: none;
}
}
I've noticed that IOS14.4 and lower doesn't support background-image, and older versions IOS are needed only full form background not just background-image:
background: var(--arrow-down) no-repeat 98%;

How to overlay transparent text on an image with a dark overlay background on hover?

Title is a bit of a mouthful. I've just started with CSS and am trying to achieve the effect a text overlay while the image is still transparent behind the text.
Below is what I've managed to achieve by snipping together various bits of code I've found. I am struggling to get the dark overlay the same size as the image. I haven't used any margin or padding on the overlay or image so have no clue why it's happening. I've also tried several ways to align the text so it sits vertically in the middle but have had no such luck.
.image-container {
position: absolute;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.border {
border-radius: 50%;
}
.image-container .after {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: none;
color: #FFF;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.image-container:hover .after {
display: block;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .6);
border-radius: 50%;
}
#title {
background: url('https://bopepor.es/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Logo-200x200PX.png');
background-size: cover;
color: #fff;
-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
-webkit-background-clip: text;
padding: 0;
display: flex;
}
h1 {
font-size: 80px;
font-family: sans-serif;
text-align: center;
text-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
letter-spacing: -1px;
line-height: 0.8;
}
<div class="image-container">
<img src="https://bopepor.es/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Logo-200x200PX.png" class='border' />
<div class="after">
<div id="title">
<h1><b>ONE<br>TWO</b></h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
For the first issue You will not able to center the overlay on to the image because the image isn't actually 200px x 200px because there are transparent pixels around the image. so first crop the transparent pixels around the image and get it's real size. Then replace the 200px size in the css below to the appropriate size.
I have corrected your code snippet to be able to center the text by adding display: flex and align-content: center (for vertical alignment) and justify-content: center(for horizontal alignment),
I have also added overflow: hidden to the .image-container .after to prevent overflowed text and changed the text size to 60px for better visibility.
.image-container {
position: absolute;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
.image-container .after {
position: absolute;
display: none;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
overflow: hidden;
color: #FFF;
}
.image-container:hover .after {
display: flex;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
border-radius: 50%;
border-width: 0px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
#title {

-webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
-webkit-background-clip: text;
padding: 0;
display: flex;

Way to overlay hover effect and href over DIV boxes?

I have a particular page on my website (http://thefloodplains.com/TheFloodSharkMain.html) whereby I have 6 DIV boxes that I want to be clickable to take users to other areas of the site. So far I've been able to wrap the header text I have within the DIVs with links. However, I have been unable to wrap the DIVs, themselves, in links. Every time I put an a href="..." around the DIV boxes, nothing happens. This might have to do with the fact that images have been overlain on top of the DIVs, but I'm not exactly sure.
Additionally, since I want the DIVs to have links and be clickable, I would like them to fade a certain color (with translucent opacity) when hovered over. Basically, I want the boxes on this page to act the exact same as they do on my front page: .
What makes this hard is that I'm positioning it in a different area of the page, and the original code doesn't seem to work in this case. I've tried most everything I can think of without having to entirely retry and tear down all the code I've been using. As it stands, I cannot get the hover actions or links around the DIVs to react at all.
The code I have been working with to fade each DIV to a specified color (in this case an orange-yellow shade) looks like this:
.block:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
display: block;
background: #FFE097;
opacity: 0;
}
.block:hover:after {
opacity: .5;
}

So basically I want to be able to use the boxes as is, but I would like to make it so that the entire DIV box for each box is a link, as well as fades to a shade of a specified color when hovered over. Thank you in advance for any and all advice!
Try this html markup. Donot try to add anchors inside anchor ! it doesn't work.
Also you have missed styles for hover on blockz, blocka, blockb and blockc. That is why no hover effect is shoeing on them.

Stacking Elements/Classes with CSS

I'm trying to create the image in the link with only html and css. There are a number of elements that would need to "stack" on top of one another.
I am having a difficult time understanding inheritance, nesting, etc. Here's the code I've written so far:
.heart {
position: relative;
margin-top: 20px;
background-color: #000000;
opacity: .8;
width: 65px;
height: 30px;
border-radius: 15px;
display: inline;
}
.box {
margin: 75px auto;
position: relative;
height: 490px;
width: 700px;
background-color: #18a0ff;
box-shadow: 1px 15px 50px 2px;
display: flex;
}
.thumbnail_image {
position: absolute;
float: left;
display: inline-block;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
.text_container {
top: 60px;
left: 200px;
right: 100px;
width: 400px;
height: 338px;
position: relative;
display: flex;
}
h1 {
font-color: #ffffff !important;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 60px;
font-family: Montserrat;
font-weight: 700;
line-height: 1.1;
text-align: left;
}
<div class="box">
<div class="heart">
</div>
<div class="thumbnail_image">
<img src="http://res.cloudinary.com/dp32vpqfu/image/upload/v1457298445/Sheldon_Pic_l3cprk.jpg">
</div>
<div class="text_container">
<h1>Don't You think that if I were wrong, I'd know it?</h1>
</div>
</div>
My concern is how to properly place the heart dialog, the text container, and the image overlay. I seem to be misunderstanding proper inheritance syntax or structure.
Use position:absolute; on heart dialog, text container, and image overlay elements and then position them correctly with the left and right properties.
Absolute positioning and z-index are the key words involved in stacking images with HTML and CSS.
I went ahead and mocked up your image with some html/css to give you an idea of implementation.
Z-index is not relevant in this particular example since you only require one layer above the base, which is automatically given to you with absolute positioning, however if you had multiple layers you would need to set the z-index to a number value where lower numbered z-indexes appear at the bottom and higher z-indexes appear at the top.
Here's my code, hope it helps:
body {
background-color: grey;
}
.container {
position:fixed;
height: 500px;
width: 700px;
background-image: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/MS8X8.png);
background-position: 46% 52%;
background-size: 150%
}
.hearts {
position: absolute;
background-color: rgba(149, 165, 166,.5);
color: white;
right: 40px;
top: 15px;
padding: 15px 25px 15px 25px;
border-radius: 15px
}
.blue {
width: 550px;
height: 500px;
background-color: rgb(102,173,255);
float: right;
}
h1, h5 {
position: absolute;
font-family: sans-serif;
color: white;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#quote {
left: 200px;
top: 30px;
font-size: 60px;
}
#attr {
left: 200px;
top: 450px;
}

<h5 id = "attr">-Sheldon Cooper</h5>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Understanding the stacking order
In your case, the natural stacking order will do the job; this is nicely explained over on the MDN. The main thing to understand is that elements will overlap those that come before them in the markup. This is better explained with a simple example:
div {
position: absolute;
background: red;
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.two {
background: blue;
top: 10px;
left: 20px;
}
.three {
background: green;
top: 20px;
left: 40px;
}
<div class="one">1</div>
<div class="two">2</div>
<div class="three">3</div>
With that out of the way...
Let's make these!
Feel free to jump to the complete example at the end of this answer!
Want to use some pedantic semantics?
A <blockquote> element to wrap everything together in a semantic container.
A <nav> element to contain the back and forward navigation
A <cite> element that contains the name of the person quoted
Our markup now looks like this:
<blockquote>
<p>Don't You think that if I were wrong, I'd know it?</p>
<cite>Sheldon Cooper</cite>
<a href="#" class="love-counter">
<3 123
</a>
<nav>
Previous
Next
</nav>
</blockquote>
The CSS
Main background image and color
These can be placed as a background on the blockquote itself. You can use background-size to ensure that the image always has the same dimensions. (It will obviously distort images which have an incorrect size)
blockquote {
background: #18a0ff url(image-url) no-repeat;
background-size: 170px 490px;
}
Add the transparent grey background and quotation character
This can be added with a absolutely positioned before pseudo-element of blockquote. The element is stretched out with left / right / bottom along with a width that matches the image. The transparent grey overlay and transparent text is provided by rgba color.
blockquote:before {
content: '\201C';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
padding-top: 30px;
font-size: 2.4em;
text-align: center;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
width: 170px;
color: rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
}
Align the main quote text along with its citation
In order to incorporate smaller quotes, it could be more visually pleasing to vertically center the main text. We can use the display: flex property along with justify-content to easily achieve this; the flex-direction: column property stacks the main quote over the top of the citation. The blockquote is also given left and right padding to appropriately position it horizontally.
blockquote {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
flex-direction: column;
padding: 0 140px 0 200px;
}
Position the back / forward navigation and love counter
These are easily located with position: absolute along with the appropriate left / right / bottom / top properties. They will look something like this:
.love-counter {
position: absolute;
right: 20px;
top: 20px;
}
nav {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
bottom: 20px;
}

You might consider a javascript method to shrink the font size for larger quotes.
