I am using an XML editor called Madcap Flare that allows me to create image maps using a GUI. Since that makes the maps easily editable, I would rather use that technique. Unfortunately, the code it renders is not a CSS image map, but an HTML one (map, area, etc.). I do not want to switch to a CSS image map, because I want to do easy editing in the GUI.
I want my image map to align right with text to the left of it. I have tried the following techniques with the indicated results:
Technique 1: I floated the div containing the image right with CSS.
Result: The image map no longer works, but the image floats right and the text wraps.
Technique 2: I floated the image right with CSS.
Result: The image floats right, but the div remains on the left. The text does not wrap and the image map no longer works.
Technique 3: I set the div align="right" and removed the CSS completely.
Result: The image floats right and the image map works, but the text no longer wraps.
I've noticed the image map only breaks when I float the image or its container; I even floated left to experiment and saw the same results. Is there no way to float an image map? I wondered if the issue were an image resizing issue, but I inspected the code and the image map is no inheriting any image size styles. I also set the image to max-width and max-height 100% in my tests to make sure it wasn't shrinking at all, but I saw the same results again. I also think that the HTML align=right experiment indicated that the problem was not an inherited style.
Any tips/tricks? Or any confirmation that you cannot float an image map? Thanks.
If the div containing the image map has a fixed size and is at the upper border of its parent DIV, you could do the following:
Create an empty DIV with the same size as the one containing the image map and make that float right (at the top). No border, no background, no contents. The text will float around that one.
Apply position: relative to the parent DIV and position: absolute to the div containing the image map. Apply top: 0;, right: 0 and the width and height as the empty floated DIV.
This places the image map above the empty floated DIV and the text floats around it.

I have 9 boxes in my Wordpress website and I built them with svg images (Link). Even texts are not actual texts. I want to rebuild the boxes and use actual texts in each box. Obviously, I want to place the text in a way that doesn't change in any screen size, Using custom CSS.
I only could build the blue rectangular button with actual text and couldn't build the text part and discount label with actual texts (see the link above).
Generally speaking, I want to know how can I position something depend on another element. In this case the texts' positions would be depended on other parts of the box. The texts should preserve their position and shape in every screen size.
First add these styles to your div.ServicesPageBox
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
Then wrap the svg inside that div.ServicesPageBox with another div and set these styles to that div
position: relative;
Next put your text inside that div and make them
position: absolute;
Then control the position of text with top and left. The position of text is now relative to the svg.
You can also add z-index: 10; to your text to make sure that's on top of svg
Seeing your code would help diagnose the issue... one thought I have is using z-indices (give the text a z-index of 10 and the images a z-index of 0, then % or em or fr spacing options to align them accordingly.
Simple question: I need an image to appear in the middle of a paragraph of text, however, the image is slightly larger than the height of each line of the font, so it pushes open a horizontal "gap" in the text to make room for itself. To fix this, I could:
1) Shrink the image, so that it is not larger than the font.
2) Use Position:Absolute
But I don't want to shrink it any further, it is small enough already to "technically fit" between each line of text, except that it would need to use up a few pixels of the white area above and below the line of text it is in.
And I can't use position:absolute, because then the image's position would be in the top left corner of the window, instead of in the paragraph where I want it.
I thought perhaps I could put a dummy "placeholder" image of size 1 pixels into the paragraph. Then, use Position:Absolute on my real image, and continually set my real image to be at the same location where the dummy image is. I haven't researched to see if that is possible, but it seems a bit excessive for such a simple thing. Is there an easier way?
EDIT: I found that adding: margin:-20px; to the image's style works!!!
margin:-20px;
JSFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/j7tLX/3/
Images are block level elements if you want them to appear inline with the paragraphs. Do this.
img {
display: inline;
}
You can use vertical-align: top

I'm working on a simple design here, but i have a little issue.
Please have a look at the final design example here: http://ronnieaarebrot.com/demo/cms/
On the menu to the left and right, you can see a small border going from the top to the bottom (following the height of the center content).
How can i do this? i was planning on having a background-image with the small border on both sides, but how should i "calculate" the height of the center content? or make the two borders follow the height of the center div. This is a bit hard to explain.. but check the image and here is an html example of how far I've come. http://ronnieaarebrot.com/demo/cms_html/
Any good solutions?
The easiest way would be to contain the centre content in a div element and use the border CSS property to apply it. You can then adjust padding and margins to butt the centre and side elements against one another. Given the model, it seems like some padding on the centre element combined with almost no margins on the sides would do the trick.
If you put overflow:hidden on the #page_wrap element that it will extent to the height of its contents (the left, center and right parts).
So you can put the backgorund image (1px height repeated vertically) on that element and be sure that it will extend all the way down..
Im trying to make this layout (many of these are in a list):
An image (of varying height, but a set width) on the left. To the right is an <h2>, and below that, but still to the right of the image is a div with other content in it.
The div is used to provide a different colored background. Right now, the div for some reason extends behind the image, and the images has a varying distance between them, and sometimes one element will get pushed to the right by the height of the image above.

Add overflow: hidden to your outermost divs (div (display: block)) to contain the floats.
I want to achieve something like this:
A) Is an square image, say 65x65.
B) This icon is another image which
need to be floated inside A.
C) The minimum length of the row is
the height of A. The maximum depends
of the length of the text
description.
Usually when I have floating images like A and B, I would put my container position as relative, and obsolute for the floating image, and that will do it, but I'm a little lost with the text here.
This is just going to be used on webkit browsers, if that is of any use.
If the image size is fixed and unlikely to change in the future, then I'd recommend applying position absolute to the image (what you're saying). I'm guessing your problem is that if the text is too short, the height of the image would exceed the height of the container. This is easily fixable with min-height:
.module {
min-height: 65px; /*your image height*/
}
You can view a demo here:
http://jsfiddle.net/RkeJJ/
This should work all the way down to IE7.
If your image size is variable, then I'd recommend display: table/table-row/table-cell, but this will work only on IE8+ and the rest of the modern browsers.
Me debes una caña! ;)
You know the width of image A (the large image). The title goes in a h1 for example, and the text in a p (or div), so set these two elements to have a left margin greater than the width of image A.
You can then float image A to the left and position the icon B over the image using absolute positioning.
Finally, I would have a wrapper div with overflow: auto to have a border (if needed) and to allow for a bottom margin to provide white space between the following element.
Partial answer: see my code snippet at http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/Nam52/
You just need to add the date element after the title.
