I'm trying to re-create Google's home page to try and improve my very basic skills. I'm trying to apply word spacing to the links in the navbar (Gmail & Images) but I can't get it to work. Can anyone point out where I'm going wrong?
I've just realised list-style-type: none; hasn't altered anything either.
html {
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.mainSection {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 10%;
}
input {
display: block;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-top: 1%;
border: none;
padding: 10px;
width: 500px;
border: 1px solid lightgray;
outline: none;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: lighter;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 18px -1px rgba(166, 166, 166, 0.93);
}
button {
outline: none;
margin-top: 3%;
display: inline-block;
width: 150px;
height: 35px;
border: 1px solid #eaeaea;
outline: none;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
color: #636363;
font-weight: bold;
}
.divider {
width: 10px;
display: inline-block;
}
.nav-wrapper {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.nav-wrapper a {
float: right;
list-style-type: none;
word-spacing: 30px;
}
<nav>
<div class="nav-wrapper">
Gmail
<div class="dividerTwo"></div>
Images
<!-- Add sign-in button here -->
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
<main>
<div class="mainSection">

<div class="divider"></div>
<button id="Lucky" href="#">I'm Feeling Lucky</button>

padding-left would work fine.
.nav-wrapper a {
float: right;
order:1;
text-decoration:none;
padding-left:10px;
}

Don't Required:
word spacing
<div class="dividerTwo"></div>.
Do only :
Apply some padding around .nav-wrapper a
.nav-wrapper a {
float: right;
list-style-type: none;
padding:0 .5em;
}
In this scenario you should use margin CSS property instead of word-spacing. The end CSS rule would look as follows:
.nav-wrapper a {
float: right;
list-style-type: none;
margin-left: 15px;
}

background color in css not showing up
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
There is a logo in the bottom right, which I removed the link because it will not get the image due to where its located. Aside from that, the background behind it and the <div class="green"></div>is supposed to be colored with #104723; but it will not apply it?? Why is that?
I applied the color style as well as the background-color style and nothing happens, even if I include the !important tag.

.green{ color: #104723;}
sets the text color to green. There's no text in that div, so you don't see a change.
.green{ background-color: #104723; }
sets the background color to green, which is probably what you want.
Additionally, if the div takes up no space, none of this will make a difference. You'll want to make sure there's visible content in it too -- an img with no source is not that.
Use backgound-color to apply color in backgrounds.
I am having issues with my styling for a landing page on SharePoint.
SharePoint loves to write over HTML with its own which makes the styling a bit funky.
There are a few table elements that appear with the element selector in the developer tools on the page, but I do not believe those are interfering with my custom HTML. There are two s that appear and I believe is messing with my HTML/CSS. They are both #s4-bodyContainer & #contentRow. The more I look at it it seems that the #s4-bodyContainer is the one it will not fill. I have changed the margin of it to 0, as well as the width to 100% and the content still will not cover the whole width/height of the containing div?
Here is my relevant HTML/CSS:
header {
text-align:center;
background: #104723;
overflow:auto;
}
.flexbox-container {

Here is what they look like on page:
If I'm not mistaken, the CSS rules for the #s4-bodyContainer on SharePoint are not inline (from external file: corev15.css). Meaning you should be able to override them if you attach your CSS at the end of the master-page body. If it doesn't work you can resort to the !important tag to give your CSS properties precedence. checkout CSS Specificity.
Using ! important doesn't always fixes the issue. The problem basically with ! important is perhaps your styling library might also be using it. So try checking whether your margin and width property is being applied to that specific section through Google inspector or any other browser inspector. Try checking whether your styling software has made a property called max-width and whether it is being applied. And most of all if a little modification and fidlling with ! important doesn't work. Go for inline css..
That is an issue with space if image is used as original inline-element like an text element. Solution:
Just add
display:block; to .troopers
See example!
(Alternative: set line-height: 0; font-size: 0 to wrapper of image div.tst. That avoid unwhanted space from text effects as well.)

After a deep swipe of anything on the internet that could remotely helpful to this issue, I finally came across a similar topic on the MSDN :
The solution says to implement this:
.ms-webpartPage-root{
border-spacing:0px!important;
}
And it works!
I am having an issue with the second level menu only in Safari. Top level and submenu work fine on mouse hover on chrome, firefox etc but when opened in Safari, only first menu is opening on hover. I have already tried other solutions available here and on other forums but it's still same.

I have included the HTML and CSS code for the menu. I have also checked it on chrome using windows OS, and it works but the only issue is with safari browser.
There are a couple of suggestions I have that may help.
Firstly, I would not recommend using position: fixed; to position your submenus because fixed is a position relative to the browser window. You likely want the submenus to be positioned according to the parent, not the window.
Secondly, you have overflow: hidden; on .navbar-nav, which means anything that falls outside the borders of it should be invisible - which would include your submenus.
Here is a JSFiddle with a working example of your snippet with my suggestions, tested and working in Safari:
.nav {
margin: 2% 10% 0 35%;
width: 60%;

I'm wondering why the elements in my nav bar appear to have blank space above them? I've checked the margin and padding and there doesn't seem to be an issue, but there is a large space above my #logo and #searchbox which is messing up my layout, how can I get rid of the space above the elements?
Thanks a lot!
Here's my Code:

Your <nav> element has a padding of 10px.
EDIT: The absolutely positioned search form seems to be causing the problem. I made the following changes and the space went away:
#searchbox_div {
position: relative;
display: block;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#searchbox {
position: relative;
float: right;
}
#logo {
display: inline-block;
width: 200px;
font-family: arial;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 26px;
float: left;
}
#main_nav{
display: inline-block;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
margin-top: 4em;
margin-left: 1em;
}
I noticed that you`re not using a css reset. A CSS Reset (or “Reset CSS”) is a short, often compressed (minified) set of CSS rules that resets the styling of all HTML elements to a consistent baseline.
In case you didn’t know, every browser has its own default ‘user agent’ stylesheet, that it uses to make unstyled websites appear more legible. For example, most browsers by default make links blue and visited links purple, give tables a certain amount of border and padding, apply variable font-sizes to H1, H2, H3 etc. and a certain amount of padding to almost everything. Ever wondered why Submit buttons look different in every browser?
Obviously this creates a certain amount of headaches for CSS authors, who can’t work out how to make their websites look the same in every browser.
Using a CSS Reset, CSS authors can force every browser to have all its styles reset to null, thus avoiding cross-browser differences as much as possible.
Also, sometimes if I have a problem with blank spaces, I run the html all together so there are no blank spaces between the tags. To make it look neat, I insert carriage returns in the middle of the html tag.
By default, most browsers have an 8px or so margin that is built in or "Added" to the page style. The super easy way to eliminate this is through CSS. Simply use:
html,body{
margin:0;
}
You can also add:
padding:0;
If it's still giving you problems!
You appear to need to reset/normalize your css as that
html,body{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
The <nav> element is configured to have 10 pixels of padding on all sides.
I have been trying to add three icons for like 6 hours and nothing works can someone please help :(
Want the icon to show up above "Performance", "Technology", and "Design".
In addition I wanted to add quote icons to the <p> tags inside the three div's.
Also wanted to change the color of the icons to match the hr tag with the same hue of red.

I think it's actually working fine, I can see icons in my JS Fiddle.
Could the problem be your link to your CSS file? Should there be a space within the href?
<link type="text/css" rel="Stylesheet" href="NavBar Example.css">
http://jsfiddle.net/Delorian/1x6u553h/
Start by double checking your markup. You have two IDs "menu" + "wrapper" and one selector "#menu_wrapper". I think you should keep IDs just for actions and add classes to add style.
Your markup:
<div id="menu wrapper" class="red">
...
</div>
Correct markup:
<div id="menu" class="wrapper red">
...
</div>
You are missing the protocol http:// on your link to the bootstrap CDN.
Try to add it to the link and see if it works:
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
