I've been trying to put a border around a specific piece of text on my website in CSS, but it won't completely wrap around it.
Here's what I'm talking about:

And here's the code that I used:
.box-outline {
border: 4pm solid black;
border-radius: 4px;
}
For context, I'm using a WordPress theme and trying to put a border around that piece of text on my navigation menu. WordPress gives the option to style menus entries by putting in the CSS class but it's not working correctly. Is it my theme that's screwing me over, or is there something I can change?
Try this:
.box-outline {
border: 4pm solid black;
border-radius: 4px;
z-index: 100500;
}
Maybe there is some another element, that closes your right border... z-index may help.
Or... it seems, you've set incorrect width to your last div/button, or the width of div, that contains all buttons.

I have an HTML page for my code and a CSS page for all my classes/styling, but my div class is not applying to my div code.
It's weird because all of my other div classes are fine, but it's just this one.
My code is simple:
<div class="box">
</div>
And my class is also fairly simple:
.box {
border-right: 10px solid black;
border-left: 10px solid black;
border-top: 10px solid black;
border-bottom: 10px solid black;
}
It is probably a simple rookie mistake as I am new to this, but as I said, all the other classes work fine and they are the same as this.
Also, I tried putting the class in the HTML file itself, in [style], and it worked perfectly. I just wanted to know why it wasn't working when it was in another file when everything else was.
You must specify the width and height of the div. Because of that, it isn't showing the borders. Or, you can put some content inside your div, and after that, it will show the borders.
And a little advice: you don't have to type style for all border sides especially. You can just say: border: 10px solid black; and it will be applied to all sides of the box.
You need to add some content to your div, or give a height to your div. If not, you will not be able to see your div and the border styles that you added.
In addition, you can make your code more efficient since all 4 border sides are the same styles. You can just use the following styling:
.box {
border: solid 10px black
}
So, after a bit more googling, I discovered it was as simple as doing shift + f5 to do a complete cache refresh. Turns out, if you have a completely separate file for all your CSS classes, it doesn't update the cache automatically.
There is some weird white space showing up on the right side of my website in mobile. I was wondering if there is a CSS trick to add a border to all the html elements within the body of a webpage so that I can figure out which element is extending out and causing the white space on mobile.
Thank you
You can try this CSS snippet:
* { border: 1px solid black; }
Every element should now get a border. Beware, this means everything. Hopefuly it'll help you figure out that white space in your app!
Include that CSS snippet before your CSS files so that it can be overwritten - or after, to force it onto every element.
Try with
* {
outline: 1px solid red;
outline-offset: -1px;
}
* is a global selector, while outline will not mess with your elements positions, it'll just add a 1px red outline
Also make sure you use a CSS reset (usually body has by default 8px margin http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/sample.html)
You can resize your window, open the debug console and inspect the elements that might create the issue. Take a look at the Style panel and test-edit the styles until you get it fixed. in Chrome's Console you also have the Emulate option to test your page for different devices.
* {
border-style: 2px 3px solid dashed #3A5FCD;
}
I am trying to fix a couple of problems when you view this web page in IE7.
(the web page looks great in iE8 and iE9)
I have uploaded the single web page onto a test site:
http://www.jrdesign-website.co.uk/bar_menu/bar_menu.html
When the page has loaded, scroll down to view. You will see the prices on the right hand side. The small duplicated full stops should line up with the prices and food description.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
SO your code has a with the dots underline on it as a repeating background and within that there is a wrapper div floated left with the food item name and nested within a that a class .bar_font_bold_med which is 'float: right'.
Two possible ways of getting to a solution.
1\ Why not have the price i.e. the in its own instead. That will sort out the positioned-on-the right goal. It will also allow you to use or middle or top etc on the price to independently adjust its vertical position in relation to the food item. Also use CSS to supply the dotted underline. Eg consider using a border-style on the lefthand thus.
border-bottom: 5px dotted #fff
How you attach the style is up to you. Perhaps a CSS classname on the relevant s is the best way i.e.
<td align="left" width="565" height="xxx"
bgcolor="#000000" background="images/yellow_dot.jpg"
... becomes...
<td class="foodItemCol" height="xxx">
...and you have the CSS styles
.foodItemCol {
border-bottom: 5px dotted #ffffff;
width: 565px;
background-color: #000000;
}
Or if you go with my suggestion of having another for the price then use this CSS selelector which means you will not have to bother adding a classname
#bar_menu_text table td {
border-bottom: 5px dotted #ffffff;
width: 565px;
background-color: #000000;
}
#bar_menu_text table td + td {
border-bottom: none;
width: auto;
background-color: #000000;
}
What the second style selector is saying where the second or subsequent sibling appears after the first then overwrite the styles that where applied in the '#bar_menu_text table td' rule above i.e. so the price column does not have a dotted underline.
PS You have used a WYSIWYG editor to generate the code for this page haven't you? I have modified my answer baring that in mind as I guess you aren't used to coding HTML /CSS by hand.
PPS you don't need the z-index:5 or any z-index's at all whatsoever...they are only useful when the element the are applied to is position: relative or position: absolute etc.
How do I cleanly style a HTML + CSS horizontal tab bar so that the tab bar has a line across the bottom that's hidden or suppressed for the active tab?
In other words, I'm trying to do the same thing that StackOverflow does for its tags:
My tab bar is set up as an ordered list with
ul
{
list-style: none;
}
li
{
float: left;
}
Update: I've already poked around sites with Firebug to see how they do it, but I feel like I quickly get bogged down in details. For example, StackOverflow's version has a border for the bottom of the whole div (which makes sense), and a white border for the bottom of the active tab (which makes sense), but then it makes the active tab's border overlap the div's border (and I'm not very clear on how it does that). It looks like Twitter Bootstrap does something similar. I'm trying to understand the general concept of how overlapping part of a container's border with the content's border works instead of copying and tinkering with CSS until I get something that appears to work.
All you need to do is put a bottom border on the <ul> (so that it stretches across) and then give the <li>'s a selected class, and make that one have a 1-pixel higher height.
Here is a very simple example: http://jsfiddle.net/V6gzS/
ok to point you in the right direction use firebug or chromes element inspector and just pick out the bits you need, so on this site for example what you are looking for are called tabs and they are styled like so
#tabs a.youarehere {
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom-color: #ffffff;
color: black;
font-size: 120%;
height: 30px;
line-height: 28px;
margin-top: 3px;
padding: 0px 11px 0px 11px;
}
this is just a part of it but you can learn a lot by looking at some code
As I understand it you are capable of making the buttons by yourself, with the horizontal bottom line.
If that is the case, then make sure that this horizontal line is made as a border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC property on each button (the color might be different). At each page you then add the id id="current" to that one button that is the active page. In CSS you write:
#current {
border: solid 1px #CCC;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}
If you have any problems it might be solved by adding !important like this:
border-bottom: 1px solid white !important;
Therefore, this is just four extra lines of code in CSS and one extra HTML attribute in each of the files.
If dynamic menu
If you have a menu that is not static on every page, but maybe dynamically generated or placed in an included file, then the above will not be possible. Because then you can't easily add the new id on each seperate page.
In that case you might do some dynamic adding of the attribute. If a server side language is used, e.g. PHP, then you might be able to easily set up an if{...} command that checks the URL or a GET request or alike. Else you might use some javascript to check each button and add the attribute id if the button text equals some header on the page.
I hope you understand. Good luck.
I did it like this:
ul {
list-style-type:none;
}
li{
float: left;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
}
li:hover{
float: left;
border: solid 1px #CCC;
border-bottom:none;
}
I've had a similiar issue like this before and trying to finally get it corrected. If you notice in the js fiddle there seems to be a thicker border above the actions div and I'm trying to find out why there is and there isn't in the template that I purchased.
http://jsfiddle.net/pGFfa/
Template:http://kansasoutlawwrestling.com/files/templates/admin/peachv1.2/Template/forms.html
EDIT:
I updated my page with the real intended page but look at the actions area and there still is a border on the left and right. Not sure why.
The double border is because of the bottom border of the content div. The div in the template has rule ".box .content.with-actions" applied which says "border-bottom: 0 none;". The content div in your fiddle doesn't have that rule so it has a bottom border and also the actions div has a top border hence the thicker line appearance.
The difference is that the content div in the template also has the "with-actions" class while the one in your fiddle doesn't. Just add that class and the problem disappears.
Updated fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/7jrEp/2/
As a note, when your css is linked externally any changes you make to the actual css changes every fiddle we post. It's better to paste the css into fiddle so it doesn't break.
And the problem as noted above was a double border plus the radius being applied to the bottom and not the top of the form container.
In content.css, try changing:
.box .content-form { border: 1px solid #C8C8C8; }
to:
.box .content-form { border: 1px solid #C8C8C8; border-bottom: none; }
