Content CSS and compatibility with IE - html

I have inserted an icon with an image inside.
In chrome I see the icon
But in IE icon disappear.
Here's my CSS
<div class="infoIcon"></div>
.infoIcon {
content: url('/assets/img/info-sign.png');
background-color: #919191;
width:15px;
border-radius: 8px;
margin-left:10px;
display: inline;
vertical-align: sub
}

you can achieve this using HTML entity.
.infoIcon {
font-size: 40px;
}
<div class="infoIcon">ⓘ</div>

In css "content" applies to ::before & ::after pseudo selectors.
As to why it Chrome is showing the image, Chrome tends to be flexible with css syntax most of the times. IE and FireFox are not showing the image because it is not the right syntax.
Edit:
Example
If you want to keep 'content' You'll have to move your content to
.:before
.icon:before{
content: url('src');
}
However you'll need to scale your image to the right size. (Icon libraries use fonts where they can change the font-size easily)
Second option is continue as you are now but switch to background-image
.info{
background-image:url('icon.svg.png');
background-size: 100% 100%;
width:40px;
height: 40px;
}

CSS - Create a custom dotted line out divs

I want to create a line with circles. Can this be done with background-repeat? Or do I need to set a picture as background? The circles should have a 5px radius.
p:after {
content: '';
background: 'rounded div of size 10x10px' repeat-x
width: 50%;
}
This is the only solution without using background-image or border-image encoded in base64 or using external files.
https://jsfiddle.net/3r6xsr0m/
html:
<div class="line"></div>
css:
.line:before {
content: "..................................................................................................";
display: block;
font-size: 60px;
font-family: Georgia;
color: #aaa;
max-width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
Dots may differ depending of browser font rendering algorithm.
You'll have to create a 10px x 10px image of the dot and then use your method of repeating the background using either pseudo or just a new element. I'd go with a new div element if you can to prevent any issues across browsers like IE8. You'll also have to give your element a width if you go pseudo.

CSS :after background in Safari for Windows

I'm trying to put some arrows onto table headers. I did this using the :after CSS pseudoelement.
The issue I'm facing is, this works correctly in all browsers EXCEPT Safari for Windows, where the background image just doesn't appear.
Why does this happen? Is there a way to resolve the issue?
HTML
<div class="test">ABC</div>
CSS
.test:after
{
content:" ";
background:url(http://www.designwalker.com/img/arrow/arrow06.jpg);
padding-left:20px;
background-size:10px 10px;
}
Note: this is just an example, not what it really will look like.
I think you need to specify display: inline-block (or block) and also a height.
.test:after {
content:" ";
background:url(http://www.designwalker.com/img/arrow/arrow06.jpg);
padding-left:20px;
background-size:10px 10px;
height: 30px;
display: inline-block;
}

Centering text vertically in button

It should be simple to center text in a button. Unfortunately, across different browsers and platforms, I get different results.
I've tried for hours to fix it, but nothing works everywhere.
Chrome, mac OS X:
(source: d.pr)
Chrome, Windows 8
(source: d.pr)
IE 10, Windows 8
(source: d.pr)
So, yeah. The big block doesn't appear in IE if I set a defined height, but I don't get why it breaks down in the first place.
Here's the code:
.btn-call-to-action {
background: #8e8287;
margin-bottom: 15px;
color: #f5f3e2;
padding: 3px 18px 3px 10px;
margin-top: 6px;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
border-bottom: none;
border-radius: 2px;
white-space: nowrap;
.btn-call-to-action a:after {
content: url('../img/general-white-arrow.svg?1369574895');
position: absolute;
width: 35px;
right: 15px;
top: 0px; }
and the HTML (pretty simple) :
Want more ?
and the site: http://aurelieremia.be/tfa/
// edit: I think I get it. Still not centered in windows but by resetting the line height, the button looks a bit more normal. IE problem resolved, I'll try using a background-image instead (thanks Ana)
I'm not sure if this will help but cross browser centering in css is a big pain so I use Twitter Bootstrap and overwrite some of the classes.
If this sounds like something you'd consider you can check out the solution here
Leave :after in static .
vertical-align to middle or explicite value (depends of where really stand arrow in svg/img).
white-space:nowrap to parent box to secure, but not necessary:

How about something like this:
HTML:
<a href="about.html">
<div class="btn-call-to-action">
<span>Want more? <img src="http://bkids.sisuweb.co/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/postArrowR.png" />
</span>
</div>
</a>
CSS:
.btn-call-to-action{
width:160px;
height:80px;
background: #8e8287;
padding: 3px 18px 3px 10px;
margin:8px;
color: #f5f3e2;
border-radius: 2px;
display:table;
text-align:center;
}
.btn-call-to-action span{
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/MQHVE/3/
The important part here is to have the wrapper (the a tag) display:table and the content (span) display:table-cell. Then you can apply vertical-align:middle to the span.

How to show an image on html page using only css?

I want to show images on the page but I don't want to hardcode the references to the images in html.
Is it possible to do something like:
HTML:
<span id="got-easier"></span>
CSS:
#got-easier { image: url(/i/trend-down.gif); }
(IE6 should be supported)
Yes, use a background image :)
#got-easier { background-image: url(/i/trend-down.gif); }
Remember to set a span to display: block; and set width/height of your image if you use it.
As David Dorward pointed out, if it's an image relevant to the information, it should be included in the document with an <img> tag and alt attribute.
Heya, the common term for it is css Image Replacement technique (or IR). Here are the commonly used methods currently. Just choose any of the two ;)
/* Leahy Langridge Method */
span#imageName {
display: block;
height: 0 !important;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 0px; /* height of image */
width: 0px; /* width of image */
background: url(url/of/image.jpg) no-repeat
}
/* Phark Method */
span#imageName {
display: block;
width: 0px;
height: 0px;
background: url(url/of/image.jpg) no-repeat;
text-indent: -9999px
}
In case you want to display the images inline, position:absolute does the trick:
#got-easier {
display:inline;
position:absolute;
width:img-Xpx;
height:img-Ypx;
background:url(/i/trend-down.gif) no-repeat;
}
The only problem with this is that, since the image position is absolute, it will overlay whatever is next to it (in IE6 it might appear behind), and the workarounds that I found to fix this (with both CSS and jQuery) aren't supported in IE6. Your image-container will have to be followed by new line.
This might be useful when, for instance, you'd like to place a (?) image next to a form caption or a button (that usually have nothing next to them) to display help with onmouseover.

chrome/safari display border around image

Chrome and Safari are displaying a border around the image, but I don't want one. There is no border in Mozilla. I've looked through the CSS and HTML, and I can't find anything that is fixing it.
Here is the code:
<tr>
<td class="near">
<a href="../index.html"class="near_place">
<img class="related_photo" />
<h4 class="nearby"> adfadfad </h4>
<span class="related_info">asdfadfadfaf</span>
</a>
...
CSS:
a.near_place {
border: none;
background: #fff;
display: block;
}
a.near_place:hover{
background-color: #F5F5F5;
}
h4.nearby {
height: auto;
width: inherit;
margin-top: -2px;
margin-bottom: 3px;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000;
display: inline;
}
img.related_photo {
width: 80px;
height: 60px;
border: none;
margin-right: 3px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
span.related_info {
width: inherit;
height: 48px;
font-size: 11px;
color: #666;
display: block;
}
td.near {
width: 25%;
height: 70px;
background: #FFF;
}
Sorry, I copied some old code before. Here is the code that is giving me trouble
Thanks in advance
Now I don't know if this is a bug with Chrome or not but the grey border appears when it can't find the image, the image url is broken or as in your case the src isn't there. If you give the image a proper URL and the browser finds it then the border goes away. If the image is to not have a src then you will need to remove the height and width.
sarcastyx is right, but if you want a workarround you can set the width and height to 0 and a padding to make space for your image.
If you want a icon of 36x36, you can set width and height to 0 and pading:18px
I know it is an old question. But another solution is to set the src to a 1x1 transparent pixel
<img class="related_photo"
src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" />
This works for me.
.related_photo {
content: '';
}
This may happen when the image is planted dynamically by css (e.g. by http://webcodertools.com/imagetobase64converter) in order to avoid extra HTTP requests. In this case we don't want to have a default image because of performance issues. I've solved it by switching from an img tag to a div tag.
img[src=""]{
content: "";
}
Lazy image solution (img loading="lazy")
If you are using lazy image loading you may notice this thin thin border before the image has loaded more than if you didn't.
You're more likely to see this for a horizontal scrolling gallery than a normal vertical scrolling webpage.
Why?
Lazy loading unfortunately only works on the vertical axis. I'm assuming this is because there's a high likelihood that you're going to scroll down, but not left to right. The whole point of lazy loading is to reduce images 'below the fold' from consuming unnecessary bandwidth.
Soution 1:
Detect when the user has scrolled (eg. using intersection observer) and then set loading="eager" on each image you want to immediately load.
I haven't actually tested this, and it's possible some browser's won't immediately load images - but it should be fine.
Solution 2:
Detect when the image has finished loading loaded and then fade it in.
img.setAttribute('imageLoaded', 'false');
img.onload = () =>
{
img.setAttribute('imageLoaded', 'true');
};
Then with css hide the image until it's loaded, after which it fades in nicely:
img
{
opacity: 1;
transition: opacity .5s;
}
img[imageLoaded='false']
{
opacity: 0; // hide image including gray outline
}
Also this behavior is subject to change, the browser may be clever enough to detect a horizontal scrolling element in future - but right now Chrome and Safari both seem to have a zero pixel window for looking for horizontal lazy images.
img.related_photo {
width: 80px;
height: 60px;
**border: solid thin #DFDFDF;** //just remove this line
margin-right: 3px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
Inside img.related_photo, you need to change border: solid thin #DFDFDF; to border: 0.
I have fixed this issue with:
<img src="img/1.jpg" style="height:150px; position: absolute; right: 15px;">
The right: 15px is where you want the image to be shown, but you can place it where you want.
I just added src="trans.png", trans.png is just a 100x100 transparent background png from photoshop.
Worked like a charm no borders
To summarise the answers given already: your options to remove the grey border from an img:not([src]), but still display an image using background-image in Chrome/Safari are:
Use a different tag that doesn't have this behaviour. (Thanks #Druvision) Eg: div or span. Sad face: it's not quite as semantic.
Use padding to define the dimensions. (Thanks #Gonzalo)Eg padding: 16px 10px 1px; replaces width:20px; height:17px; Sad face: dimensions and intentions aren't as obvious in the CSS, especially if it's not an even square like #Gonalo's example.
