How to put a line on top of text in html? - html

Question

So I want to try to do this in html and css but I can't seem to find anything. I only way I can think is by importing the text as an image but that will look bad. P.S Light blue line is for centering as I am designing the site in Photoshop first

You can use border-top in css to create a line above text.
.mytextbox {
border-top: 1px solid #ff0000;
}
border-top property
Example of use

Answer 3

Try using borders to achieve the look you are wanting:
a.my-class {
display: inline-block;
padding: 5px 15px;
border-top: 2px solid #000;
border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
line-height: 1em;
text-decoration: none;
}

Answer 4

Well, you'd want to have the text element within a div, set the bg color property of the div to the color you're going for, and then set margins for the text element to push off the text by ~10px or so (looks like that's about where it's at in your mock up). From there you can set a border to only top, and bottom and style accordingly.

Answer 5

You can put the text inside a block level element and apply a top and bottom border. Advantage of this method against the text-decoration: underline overline; is, that you can simply define the space between text and lines with padding as you need it.
To make the width as long as the text is, just use display: inline-block;.
body {
background: #5cc8f6;
}
div {
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em;
border-top: 1px solid white;
border-bottom: 1px solid white;
color: white;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-family: Verdana;
font-size: 2em;
}
