This is my css:
.triangle-topright {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 100vh 20vw 0vw 50vw;
border-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.5) rgba(255,255,255,0.5) rgba(255,255,255,0.5) transparent;
position: relative;
float: right;
}
Here is my html:
<div class="triangle-topright" >
<h1>here</h1>
</div>
"here" appears under the div, but I want it to appear in the div, let's say in the middle, or wherever I choose. Help!
The div is height: 0;, so nothing can really appear "in" it. However, you're building a CSS triangle, so to heck with convention!
If you're saying you want the h1 to appear in the middle of the div's top border, you could add this style rule and adjust the top property as necessary:
.triangle-topright h1 {
position: absolute; // Works because .triangle-topright is position: relative
top: -50vh; // Half of your vertical border space
line-height: 1rem; // Make sure line height is predictable
margin-top: -.5rem; // Center element on its Y axis (assuming only one line of text is involved)
// You might need to zero out some margins or padding to achieve your desired result
}

As can be seen here (please make it wider): http://jsfiddle.net/CZayc/1368/, I wanted to make my navbar width 100% of browser width, and place some links (First Second Third Fourth) in the centered, 1200px wide space.
I do not know why, but the middle container just overlaps the navbar.
Changing position: absolute; on navbar caused it to shrink to 1200px size (not desired).
What can I do about it? There is also a problem with link container, because I couldnt center First Second Third Fourth in the desired 1200px space (probably due to overlap).
Thanks!
Using absolute position on an element takes it out of the content flow: meaning that other elements in the flow act like its not there. The elements overlap because there is nothing to push the middle content down below the header.
There are 2 things you could do:
stop using position absolute. as #NendoTaka suggests, relative should be fine. If there is some reason for absolute positioning you haven't explained, then
add a margin to the middle content area.
Example CSS
.middle {
background-color: #7f7f7f;
height: 1050px;
margin: 74px auto 0; /* height of nav plus its borders*/
}
You can move .middle out of the way by adding margin-top: https://jsfiddle.net/CZayc/1371/
Be sure to set margin-top to the height of .nav. This includes borders, too.
Change your nav class to
.nav {
background-color: #34384A;
height: 70px;
width: 100%;
border-top: solid;
border-bottom: solid;
}
Note: You don't need the width: 100% but just in case.
You need to apply position:relative to both the .nav and the .middle
Your problem before was that .nav had an absolute position which caused the overlap. the relative positioning keeps that from happening because it formats each div relative to the previous div as written in your HTML.
.nav {
position: relative;
background-color: #34384A;
height: 70px;
/* position: absolute; */
left: 0;
right: 0;
border-top: solid;
border-bottom: solid;
}
.middle {
position: relative;
background-color: #7f7f7f;
height: 1050px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
You’re trying to solve the wrong problem with your question. The example below is a cleaned up version of your code.
* { margin:0; padding:0 }
nav {
background-color: #34384A;
height: 70px;
border-top: solid;
border-bottom: solid;
text-align: center;
}
<header>Test test</header>
<nav>
<a>First</a>
<a>Second</a>
<a>Third</a>
<a>Foruth</a>
</nav>
<div class="middle">
11111<br>22222<br>33333<br>44444<br>55555<br>66666
</div>
<footer>Test</footer>
Be mindful of the HTML you use. The HTML tags you choose should provide meaning to the content they wrap. Also you should avoid using position: absolute for general layout concerns such as this one.
Hope that helps.
I have the following textbox:
<input type="text" id="fromAdd" class="styledTB searchBDir" />
CSS:
.styledTB {
padding-left: 5px;
background: #E8E8E8;
opacity: 1;
border: none;
outline: none;
right: 35px;
box-shadow:
0px 5px #BBB,
0px 8px 10px rgba(148, 148, 148, 0.5);
}
.searchBDir {
height: 30px;
width: 90%;
}
Displays this:
How can I add the following icon toward the right of the box and make it clickable for Geo Location:
To make something like this (I would like to resize the image to fit the textbox and not overlap as shown):
I am using the following script which will populate the textbox once the icon is clicked and the user gives permission:
$.get("http://ipinfo.io", function (response) {
$("{textboxid}").text("Location: " + response.city + ", " + response.region);
}, "jsonp");
Here's what we're doing
Some slight changes to HTML
<div class='styledTB'>
<input type="textbox" id="gpsInput" />
<button id="searchBDir"></button>
</div>
What we're doing here is giving some layout context for your input and button. The container is going to serve as our bounding box for laying out the remainder of our elements. You could accomplish this visually with only the input, but since you've got a clickable element it makes sense to make the clickable area a button (for accessibility, semantics, blah, blah, blah...).
On to the CSS:
.styledTB {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
height: 40px; /* Arbitrary number */
width: 400px; /* Arbitrary number */
}
.styledTB input {
width: 100%; /* Arbitrary number */
height: 100%;
padding-right: 40px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#searchBDir {
height: 100%;
width: 40px; /* Or however long you'd like your button to be, matches padding-right above */
background-image: url(http://i.stack.imgur.com/4v62r.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 50% 50%;
border: none;
background-color: transparent;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
}
Read the comments as they are helpful, but as a high-level overview:
We're putting the bounding box (the div) into a relative position so that we can order the button absolutely. We define the size we want our input element to appear (I chose some number arbitrarily, it should work similarly no matter what size you set them to) and set display inline-block to mirror that of a normal input element.
We then force the box to fill its container with the width and height being declared as 100% and give the box a padding-right of 40px to match our intended size for the button. We set the box-sizing to border-box so that the padding doesn't force the input larger than its containing box. This just tells the browser to consider padding, borders and all internal spacing elements to not grow the outer bounds of the element.
Lastly, we set the button to position: absolute and give it the positioning values to force it to the right of the box. We give it a background image of your GPS icon, and then position that appropriately within the button.
The border and background-color rules are there to override the default browser rendering of a button as a raised gray box.
I hope that helps!
Fiddle here
set the image as a background aligned to the right, and set the padding-right.
The final ancestor div in my page needs a margin on all four sides, to give it a panel effect. Here is my code:
CSS:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
#wrapper {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#bibletree {
width: 20%;
float: left;
height: 100%;
}
.inner { /*this is the div that I need a margin around, so it is by 10px of the #bibletree div on all sides, including the bottom.*/
overflow: auto;
}
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="bibletree">
<div class="inner">my content here, both short and long</div>
</div>
</div>
As you probably guessed, there is a lot more going on here than what is written. I have several columns with divs that all need this margin for the panel effect on the .inner div. Thanks for any help.
BTW, I have tried absolute positioning and it only positions based on the window, not on the parent element, even if I set the parent to position: relative.
If you set .inner to width 100% and add a margin, it will be wider than its container. You can set a padding or a border instead. For example, you can add a white or transparent border of 10px.
Another option is to make #bibletree position relative, then make .inner position absolute and specify top, bottom, right and left:
.inner {
bottom: 10px;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
position: absolute;
}
This will make it the same size as #bibletree, minus 10px on every side.
Margin:10px is working right?? you need not no specify the width for inner div, as div is already has block option. check here updated demo http://jsfiddle.net/QShRZ/5/
I'm trying to place a button. I have its position set to absolute, so I can't figure out how to place it properly.
Its the button that says "Is this your product?"
See an example here: (removed)
I want it to be placed right on top of the widget in the right sidebar with 5px spacing all around. How do I do that?
I originally took the button from here: http://cssdeck.com/t/uHhhprW6
Appreciate the help.
if your Button will be always in same place so you can do it with:
.but {
position: absolute;
width: 80px;
height: 25px;
background-color: #DEDEDE;
right: 0;
margin: 5px;
}
And just edit your right or top whatever you want. little example
The quickest way I could get it to work was remove the top, left, float, and margin-left declarations from your .email rule, and change its position to relative.
.email {
position: relative; /* not absolute */
width: 220px;
height: 30px;
font: .75em "lucida grande", arial, sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 5px 0;
}
I would imagine there are much cleaner/simpler ways to make this particular button - there seems to be a lot of absolute positioning going on with the containing element and its children. But the changes I have suggested seem to work as a quick fix.
When an element has position: absolute, you have to position it using left, right, top and bottom. The values you use on this properties should be relative to the closest positioned ancestor (a "positioned" element being one with a position value other than blank or static).
Consider, for example, the following HTML:
<div id="container">
<div id="position_me"></div>
</div>
And the following CSS:
#container {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid green;
}
#position_me {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
position: absolute;
left: 100px;
top: 100px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
The red box will be 100 px from the top border of the container, and 100px from the left border of the container.
See working example.
If you use position: absolute on the button, you can specify it's location using the top, right, bottom and left properties. For example, to position an element with the id button to the top right of a page, with 5px spacing both on top and at the right, you could use this CSS code:
#button {
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
}
If you just want the element to go to the right side of the parent element, you should use float: right. Then you can use margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom and margin-left to make sure the element gets some margin around it.
See my example Fiddle for the difference. Note that both 'buttons' are within the same div in the HTML code, but the absolute positioned one appears to be outside of that block.
Have a look at this article for more information on CSS positioning.
I have a DIV containing an image and a second DIV. The parent DIV is set to position: absolute; the child DIV is set to position: relative. The idea is that I display my photo caption on top of my image.
The child DIV should have 100% width of the parent, minus 10px on the left, right and bottom, plus a black background.
.article-container {
position: relative;
}
.photo-caption {
width: 100%;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
<div class="span15 article-container">
<img src="images/example-image-1.png" />
<div class="photo-caption">This is the subtitle text on top.</div>
</div>
The left margin bumps .photo-caption outside the bounds of .article-container. The right margin doesn't seem to have any effect.
I've also tried fixing this with box-sizing. It seems to get the width of .photo-caption down to the parent width but there's still the overhang.
It's better if you remove width:100%. write like this:
.photo-caption {
left:0;
right:0;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
An absolutely positioned element is positioned with top, left, right and bottom, not with margin.
The problem is that width=100% would give photo-caption exact width of article-container; adding margins (or padding) would not affect width calculation. You can do this yourself using the css calc() so the style become:
.photo-caption {
width: calc(100% - 20px); // 20 = right margin + left margin
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
Note that you might want to check for calc() browser support here
The problem is that you're setting your width to 100% which gives no room for margins. Instead adjust your width to a percentage less than 100% and then specify your margin as half the percentage of the remaining space.
For Example:
style="width:98%; margin-left: 1%;"
Use either padding in conjunction with box-sizing, or nested block with margins inside your absolutely positioned one without margins.
You don't need width:100% if you display block. That might solve all these little issues.
.photo-caption {
display:block;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding:10px
}
For:
Simple answer : don't try to use margin-right . Use ' margin-left: xxxpx; ' - make the xxx large enough to push your div box (Div Style= box) right as far as needed. No need for a fiddle, can put it exactly where you want it.
Margin is the distance from each side to the neighboring element OR the borders of document.
Margin right didn't means that it will push the element towards left.It means that it will generate space on right side.If next element will come it will come after mentioned margin-right.In your case width is 100%.No space is available for margin-right.
Confusion point:
1) visual effect is different where width is auto.Same margin is generated in right.But due to absence of width property.Width is free to change.
2) Same effect when element is floated right.
These 2 above mentioned points will made different image of margin-right in mind.
width: -webkit-fill-available;
