I'm a beginner/learner with HTML & CSS.
How can i put a line under some text?
I don't want to underline the text but I want to make something along the lines of this
How can i implement this?
You can use a <hr> tag.
Here is a nice page with some example styling: https://css-tricks.com/examples/hrs/
If you wanted to make it only 80% of the containers width you could add some CSS as follows
hr {
width: 80%;
}
<hr>
If you are trying to control the size of the line, you can use CSS.
hr {
display: block;
margin-top: 0.5em;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border-style: inset;
border-width: 1px;
}
<h1>HTML</h1>
<p>HTML is a language for describing web pages.....</p>
<hr>
<h1>CSS</h1>
<p>CSS defines how to display HTML elements.....</p>
Another thing you can do is boarder-bottom
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
p {
border-style: solid;
border-bottom: thick line #ff0000;
border-top: none;
border-left: none;
border-right: none;
width: 250px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is some text in a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
You can use the hr tag and style it via CSS:
.x {
width: 40%;
float: left;
}
<h1>Test</h1>
<hr class="x">
Just use an <hr></hr> tag
Example code:
<body>
<h1> Header</h1>
<hr>
<p> text under header </p>
</body>
That's a valid question, I know what you mean
span{
border-bottom:1px solid #000;
}

I have an issue creating a title for a web page.
Here is title:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.title {
border-top: 2px solid grey;
color: grey;
text-size:20px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="title">Düsseldorf markets</div>
</body>
</html>
I need to move the market word to the bottom and it should be displayed like that:
Düsseldorf
markets
Any idea how can I do it with the help of CSS only(i.e how can I change title CSS class to get desired view)?
You can use a CSS hack to acheive this if you really want to use CSS only. First, make the text disappear by setting it to the color of the background. Then use the before and after selectors to rerender the content.
However, easier would be to use span tags in your HTML, then make each of them have display: block to get a line break.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
:root {
--font_size: 20px;
--text_col: grey;
--text_margin: 10px;
}
.title {
border-top: 2px solid grey;
font-size: var(--font_size);
color: white;
}
.title:before {
content: "Düsseldorf";
color: var(--text_col);
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
top: var(--text_margin);
}
.title:after {
content: "markets";
color: var(--text_col);
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
top: calc(var(--font_size) + var(--text_margin));
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="title">Düsseldorf markets</div>
</body>
</html>
You can use padding-right with calculation. padding-right: calc(100% - 10ch); This is very simple, no complex.
.title {
border-top: 2px solid grey;
color: grey;
font-size: 20px;
padding-right: calc(100% - 10ch); /* Düsseldorf is 10 character */
box-sizing: border-box;
}
<div class="title">Düsseldorf markets</div>
A simple way to approach this - use a width property on a element. Then, by word-break rule (which is 'normal' by default and you don't need to specify this) words will be auto-wrap on next line, when there is no free place on container
here is demo
P.S. And you have a typo - did you mean font-size except for text-size?
I want the blue bits of the buttons to all be the same length as each other so it looks cool in a column instead of all messy
context context context
.button {
border: 0px solid #000000;
background: #70D4C7;
padding: 3.5px 7px;
-webkit-border-radius: 1px;
-moz-border-radius: 1px;
border-radius: 1px;
text-shadow: #70D4C7 0 1px 0;
font-size: 20.5px;
font-family: Fira Sans;
text-decoration: none;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
color: #000000;
}
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="button">
<strong>Homepage</strong>
<br>
<br>
<a href="#" style="color: black" class="button"> <strong>exampleexample</strong>
</a>
<br>
<br>
<strong>example </strong>
</nav>
<p></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can wrap each link in a div:
<div>
<strong>Homepage</strong>
</div>
Remove the <br/> tags. And add the following CSS (notice, I moved the background color from your CSS segment to here):
#button > div {
margin: 10px;
width: 100%;
background: #70D4C7;
}
#button {
width: 40%;
}
NOTE: It is generally considered to be poor coding style to use elements for purposes other than which they were intended. So, for example, buttons should be used as buttons, and links should be used as links. Links should not be styled as buttons. But, if you insist on your current structure, the above modifications will produce the following effect:
Here is a Fiddle Demo
<a> is by default display:inline, so it can not have a width. Just add to the class button :
.button{
width:200px;
display:block;
}
and your problem is solved.
I'm currently following a UDemy course where the instructor is teaching us Full Stack Development from scratch. Problem is, he made a lot of mistakes that I needed to improvise on like adding <span> next to sign in, instead of his idea of a <p> and my screenshots of the BBC Logo and Sign In button needed it's height modified in order for them to fit properly in that small nav bar.
Here is the code:

Any suggestions for an aspiring programmer? How can I think much differently so that I can spot errors while his is talking instead of copying his stuff verbatim? I understand HTML very well, I'm getting stuck on position, margin and padding.
There is a few things wrong with the code here, I'm not going to go too deep into structure or how using a CSS framework is a great option for beginners(I highly recommend bootstrap and following a tutorial to understand how they use each component as well following a up to date CSS tutorial).
A few quick pointers to fix the problems your border was going past the #topbar because the list items were being stacked vertically instead of horizontally. This was fixed by adding float: right; to the #topmenudiv li. You need to offset the padding you have on your list item elements by setting a height - the padding in this case 30px.
Check the updated version below and always try to include a codepen or jsfiddle with your answer whenever possible.

As I understand your question:
Any suggestions for an aspiring programmer? How can I think much differently so that I can spot errors while his is talking instead of copying his stuff verbatim? I understand HTML very well, I'm getting stuck on position, margin and padding.
Use the CSS property outline When you apply it to a class, tag, or id of an element(s), it looks like the CSS property border. The difference between border and outline is that outline will not affect the area surrounding the element(s) which mikes it perfect for seeing your divs and their actual position.
Place this css under your body rule (ie body {...}) in the <style> block:
CSS
/* body * { outline: 1px solid blue; } */ /* Uncomment to see all elements */
.green { outline: 2px dashed green } /* Highlight in green */
.black { outline: 3px dotted #000; } /* Highlight in black */
.yellow { outline: 4px double #fc0; } /* Highlight in yellow */
In order to handle padding and margins easier put the following at the top of your CSS:
CSS
html { box-sizing: border-box; }
*, *:before, *:after { box-sizing: inherit; }
This will unify all of the elements under one box-sizing rule. An element's dimensions, padding, and border are included to the element's content. Normally by default (content-box), only width and height are considered. See this for more on box-sizing
I need to draw a horizontal line after some block, and I have three ways to do it:
1) Define a class h_line and add css features to it, like
#css
.hline { width:100%; height:1px; background: #fff }
#html
<div class="block_1">Lorem</div> <div class="h_line"></div>
2) Use hr tag
#css
hr { width:100%; height:1px; background: #fff }
#html
<div class="block_1">Lorem</div> <hr />
3) use it like a after pseudoclass
#css
.hline:after { width:100%; height:1px; background: #fff; content:"" }
#html
<div class="block_1 h_line">Lorem</div>
Which way is the most practical?
hr {
display: block;
height: 1px;
border: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 1em 0;
padding: 0;
}
<div>Hello</div>
<hr/>
<div>World</div>
Here is how html5boilerplate does it:
hr {
display: block;
height: 1px;
border: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 1em 0;
padding: 0;
}
I'd go for semantic markup, use an <hr/>.
Unless it's just a border what you want, then you can use a combination of padding, border and margin, to get the desired bound.
.line {
width: 53px;
height: 0;
border: 1px solid #C4C4C4;
margin: 3px;
display:inline-block;
}
<html>
<body>
<div class="line"></div>
<div style="display:inline-block;">OR</div>
<div class="line"></div>
</body>
</html>
In HTML5, the <hr> tag defines a thematic break. In HTML 4.01, the
<hr> tag represents a horizontal rule.
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_hr.asp
So after definition, I would prefer <hr>
If you really want a thematic break, by all means use the <hr> tag.
If you just want a design line, you could use something like the css class
.hline-bottom {
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 2px solid #000; /* whichever color you prefer */
}
and use it like
<div class="block_1 hline-bottom">Cheese</div>
I wanted a long dash like line, so I used this.
.dash{
border: 1px solid red;
width: 120px;
height: 0px;
}
<div class="dash"></div>
My simple solution is to style hr with css to have zero top & bottom margins, zero border, 1 pixel height and contrasting background color.
This can be done by setting the style directly or by defining a class, for example, like:
.thin_hr {
margin-top:0;
margin-bottom:0;
border:0;
height:1px;
background-color:black;
}
it is depends on requirement , but many developers suggestions is to make your code as simple as possible .
so, go with simple "hr" tag
and CSS code for that.
hr {
display: block;
height: 1px;
border: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 1em 0;
padding: 0;
}
<div>Hello</div>
<hr/>
<div>World</div>
emphasized text
This is relatively simple example and worked for me.
hr {
width: 70%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

I can't seem to get my "Home" buttons to the center. The home text is at the left instead of the center.I have my htm and css linked like this:
html:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="background.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Bully-Free Zone</h1>
<h2>"Online harassment has an off-line impact"</h2>
Home
</body>
</html>
Css:
a.nav-link:link
{
color: black;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family:broadway;
font-size:30px;
text-align:center;
}
a.nav-link:visited
{
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.nav-link:hover
{
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}
a.nav-link:active
{
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}
You could wrap it in a div:
<div align="center">
Home
</div>
Or you can create a class for the div:
HTML:
<div class="myDiv">
Home
</div>
CSS:
.myDiv {
text-align: center;
width: 300px;
}
The text-align property will only center the text within the container it's in. In this case, the a tag is only as wide as the text. So regardless how you set your text-align property on that link tag, it will always appear the same. To center it you need to put it in an element that is wider.
<div id="nav">
<a href="New.html" class="nav-link>Home</a>
</div>
and your css:
#nav
{
text-align: center;
}
Good Luck!
Property text-align:center should be appurtenant to parent element
Link
a {
display: block;
margin: auto;
}
I reply 8 months late but I had the same problem as Backtrack and by trying a combination of the above answers I managed to fix my mishap this way. I share it very respectfully with you, in case someone needs this solution in the future.
CSS:
a {
text-align: center;
margin: 20px;
display: block;
}
It also works if you use an "Id" in the "a" tag.
