Trying to make a header touch the top of my page, however there seems to be an automatic margin, even if specified otherwise.
I've tried specifying margin-top: 0, and have set margin: 0 to the body as well.
h1 {
margin-top: 0px;
}
body {
margin: 0px;
}
<h1>test</h1>
Instead of touching the top of the page, the "test" header has an automatic margin at its top.
adding line-height: 75%; seems to do the trick:
h1 {
margin-top: 0px;
line-height: 75%;
}
body {
margin: 0px;
}
Just add the line-height for your h1 tag. Optionally set the line-height for body also.
h1 {
margin-top: 0px;
line-height: 18px;
}
body {
margin: 0px;
line-height: 1.15;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
</body>
</html>
The header in not touching the top even after setting margins to zero, must be due to line-height.Try to set a colored border i.e. border: 1px solid green. If you see that the border is touching the top then the real reason is the space around text/font due to line-height.
The line-height is set by the standard css rules included in the html page to create proper spacing between text OR by default it is set to normal which uses a standard value. So if you reduce space around text using line-height property it will do the trick but i do not recommend to reduce it less than 1 : line-height: 1
Use Uppercase letters and you will see that your element is already touching the top of the screen so it's logical that the lowercase ones will be sligthly lower.
h1 {
margin-top: 0px;
}
body {
margin: 0px;
}
<h1>ÂtestË</h1>

I'm making a responsive GitHub Homepage Clone (https://github.com/) with HTML and CSS before moving on to JS. I'm currently working on a search bar. However, when I narrow the screen from the left side, the search bar width stays the same, causing the search bar to leave the entire left navigation bar. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

The element I'm working on is the search bar that says "Find a
repository..." In order to allow the box to stretch to the right, I've
added a ton of padding.
Hi, Joshua.
In this case, asking a question with so many parts is hard to answer. If you can create a smaller example - it might help.
<aside class="sidebar">
<input type="search" placeholder="Find a repository">
</aside>
.
.sidebar {
border: 1px solid blue;
padding: 10px;
}
input[type='search'] {
padding: 5px 10px;
font-style: innherit;
}

From there - we can help you. You can always ask in the CSS Discord too.
HERE: with the sidebar in tact: https://jsfiddle.net/sheriffderek/e6k8gydu/
Presumably you want the search input to shrink and grow with the page.
To that end, you should use max-width: 300px along with flex-grow: 1 on the <input>.
flex-grow tells the flex-box how to allocate space along its main axis (in this case, the X axis). The value you give it represents a fraction of the parent flex-box. So in this case, if give it the value flex-grow: 1 it will take up as much space as it can, until it runs into another fixed with element, or another element that also has flex-grow set with a nonzero value.
Max-width simply tells the element how large it's allowed to get. You can obviously fine tune this by changing the value, but 300px seemed about right to me.
Put the two together and you no longer need your crazy padding. The input will shrink all the way down to nothing (if you want that to change you also add the min-width property)
and grow all the way up to 300px in this case.
You'll also also want to get rid of the <p> next to your text input. In this scenario, there's no reason at all to use a paragraph, as it has default styling that changes how it behaves. I would use a <div> instead.
After that I would get rid of the relative positioning on nav div p{} and just let flex-box do its magic. If you're trying to position an element in that way, a much better way is with margin. This is what margin is meant to be used for.
Sorry my answer isn't a more specific, but your question is a bit broad.
I am trying to put a <p> tag inline with an <a> tag, but I can't figure out how. I've tried several display types in css, but they either don't work or do something weird to it.
(Here is a bunch of unnecessary words because the thing is saying there is too much code and not enough words. I think its pretty dumb because what I said is enough unless someone specifically asks for details about something).
Here's some example code:
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background-color: #efefef;
}
header {
margin: 0;
margin-top: -10px;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
header p {
margin: 0;
font-family: "arial";
font-size: 50px;
color: #3c3c3c;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
text-align: center;
}
header a {
}
#information {
width: 500px;
height: 250px;
background-color: #ffffff;
box-shadow: 7px 7px 4px grey;
margin-left: 100px;
margin-top: 150px;
}
#information p {
font-family: "arial";
font-size: 20px;
color: #1febff;
}
#delete {
margin-top: 2000px;
}

In your HTML, try directly typing or after whatever text you want it to appear.
For example:<div>When i came<a> ut yiur name</a>so what do i do</div>
In your CSS body, try inline-block or just inline parameters with DISPLAY property to get any image or text into the normal flow of a line.
For example:
a {display:inline-block;}
Could you specify which elements in your example code you want inline?
Generally using display: inline and display: inline-block will make elements flow as if they were text. They will sit next to each other and jump to new lines when their container width gets too narrow. Browsers commonly apply display: block to <p> elements by default.
Assuming we are talking about the contents of your <header>, I added the following rule to your existing CSS. Check it out in action.
header p {
display: inline-block;
}
EDIT: Based on further comments, here is a solution to what you are looking for.
First of all I've wrapped your menu items in a nav element and made your main title a h1 element. Search engines like this better. A h1 element is also displayed inline by default and respects text-align properties on its parent container (which in this case is header).
<h1>SaHa</h1>
<nav>
Menu
Thing
Stuff
</nav>
On the CSS side I've made two crucial changes.
First, I've center-aligned your header text. This centers the new h1 element. Additionally I've set position: relative because we will need it in the next step.
header {
text-align: center;
position: relative;
}
Second, to position your menu to the right side of the screen I've lifted it from the regular flow of content with position: absolute. Now, by specifying either a top or bottom and left or right, we can position the menu anywhere in the header. Why the header? Because it is the nearest parent to nav that has a relative position. This is why we set it earlier!
nav {
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
}
Try changing the values for right and bottom in this Codepen example. Try changing right to left and see what happens. What happens if you remove position: relative from .header?
h3 with white space at the top and the bottom
I have some white space around my h3. To align it the same as some pictures I want to delete the white space at the top and the bottom of the h3. The margin is 0, but there is still space between the top and the bottom of the text. How do I solve this?
this is my code:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h3>title</h3>
</body>
</html>
You're confused about what the whitespace is. It's the full line height of the text, which accounts for potential above and below text characters, like accents and dangling letters. If you want to squish this whitespace (not recommended), set the line height to something smaller than the default, like
line-height: 0.8em;
Remove the padding of the container element (in your example, the <body> tag):
body { padding: 0 }
As noted before, it is hard to reproduce your situation without the full CSS code that you have also.
However, a quick test of this gave me a h3 without any whitespace:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body style="padding: 0;">
<h3 style="margin: 0; padding: 0;">test</h3>
</body>
</html>
It is probably browser dependent what the default margins/paddings on both the body and h3 elements are. I hope this helps you.
Just Remove The Browser Default Margin and Padding Apply Top Of Your Css.
<style>
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

Try to Reset all the html elements before writing your css.

<h3>title</h3>

</html>
If I only add a 1px padding to a div around a heading, then this makes apparently a huge difference (http://jsfiddle.net/68LgP/).
html:
<div class="pad0">
<h1>Text</h1>
</div>
<div class="pad1">
<h1>Text</h1>
</div>
css:
.pad0 {
background-color: #E9E9E9;
padding: 0px;
}
.pad1 {
background-color: #E9E9E9;
padding: 1px;
}
Why is that so? I really would like to achieve a similar effect to the 1px padding but with no extra padding added.
This is due to the margin collapsing
Top and bottom margins of blocks are sometimes combined (collapsed) into a single margin whose size is the largest of the margins combined into it, a behavior known as margin collapsing.
You can find further information also on w3c site.
Two margins are adjoining if and only if [...] no line boxes, no clearance, no padding and no border separate them [...]
So if you apply a padding-top (1px is enough), as in your second example, the margins are no longer collapsed. An easy solution, as already suggested, is to remove the default margin of your heading elements and apply a padding instead.
It's to do with the default CSS applied to Heading1 element. It already has a padding/margin applied to it.
If you reset it, you can see the result you're after: http://jsfiddle.net/68LgP/8/.
h1 { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
.pad0 {
background-color: #E9E9E9;
padding: 0px;
}
.pad1 {
background-color: #E9E9E9;
padding: 1px;
}
Please see the updated CSS here
.pad0 {
background-color: #E9E9E9;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.pad1 {
background-color: #E9E9E9;
padding: 1px;
margin: 0px;
}
h1
{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
set h1 margin to 0
h1 {
margin: 0;
}
It is now keeping the margin of the h1 within the DIV. The h1 has default top and bottom margin of around 21px, so when you add 1px padding to the DIV, it now looks like 22px
<div> is a block element, which means that it both starts and ends with a line break. I beleive that this is contributing to your problem - you may want to swap to <span> tags, although I'm not sure if this will solve the problem.
You could use CSS Reset which resets all CSS settings, including this kind of problems. Recommended for any site.
How can CSS Reset file solve your problem? As you can see, in the first paragraph, h1 is included, and it's given margin:0 which is needed for reducing the difference in problems like yours.
When I use font Minecrafter 2.0 as logo, it stick to top (similar as vertical-align:top). For example http://oi58.tinypic.com/qovasy.jpg
When i use line-height (for example):
h1 { line-height: 1; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
Logo leaves from area: http://i59.tinypic.com/jfuohy.png
With standard fonts all right. How to place font to center?
May you should try to use padding-top rule, like that:
h1 { padding-top: 10px; }
