So I'm working on a navigation bar for my website and I'm trying to space everything centred evenly in the bar, but for some reason, I can't get things to work out evenly. Either margins don't work, or they do but not all the way, and it's getting quite frustrating. Here's my code:
body {
margin: 0 px;
font - family: Helvetica;
}
.navbar {
background - color: grey;
width: 100 % ;
height: 70 px;
text - align: center;
}
.items li {
display: inline - block;
padding - left: 50 px;
}
.items a {
text - decoration: none;
color: #333;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 20px;
padding-top: -25px;
}
<body>
<div class="navbar">
<div class="items">
<img src="logo1.png" style="height:55px;padding-top:7.5px;">
<li>Apparel</li>
<li>Equipment & Accessories</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</div>
</div>
</body>
To center vertically links with the logo, use vertical-align:middle;.
Also, If you set margin or padding don't set it to <a> because it's an item with inline properties but set it on li items which are inline-block.
In addition to that, it's strange to write li items without ul container.
body {
margin: 0px;
font-family: Helvetica;
}
.navbar {
background-color: grey;
width: 100% ;
height: 70px;
text-align: center;
}
.items img
{
vertical-align:middle;
}
.items li {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
padding-left: 50px;
}
.items a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #333;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 20px;
}
<body>
<div class="navbar">
<div class="items">
<img src="logo1.png" style="height:55px;padding-top:7.5px;">
<li>Apparel</li>
<li>Equipment & Accessories</li>
<li>Contact Us</li>
</div>
</div>
</body>

What I know so far is that a parent with nothing but floated children has no height.
In the header for example, I have the left logo floated and the text has an absolute position. The only thing keeping the header from collapsing is the right logo.
header {
position: relative;
font-family: "Felix Titling Regular", Times, serif;
border-bottom: 2px double white;
font-size: 0;
}
header a {
display: inline-block;
}
header>a:first-child {
position: relative;
padding-left: 3%;
}
header>a:last-child {
float: right;
padding-right: 3%;
}
#center-wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top: 25%;
font-size: 16px;
}
header h1 {
font-size: 300%;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
text-transform: capitalize;
right: 50%;
}
<header>
<img src="media/logo-small.png" alt="Godfather Logo" title="Godfather Small Logo" />
<div id="center-wrapper">
<h1> loyal capos to the don </h1>
</div>
<img src="media/logo-small.png" alt="Godfather Logo" title="Godfather Small Logo" />
</header>
However, I don't understand why my first parent 'ul' in the 'nav' still has height even though all the li elements are floated.
nav {
position: relative;
border-top: 2px double #660000;
text-align: center;
font-size: 0;
background-color: #660000;
}
nav>ul {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
width: 100%;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
nav>ul>li {
min-width: 20%;
float: left;
}
nav ul ul,
nav ul ul ul {
position: absolute;
display: none;
width: 100%;
}
nav>ul>li:hover>ul {
display: block;
}
nav>ul>li>ul>li:hover>ul {
left: 100%;
top: 0%;
display: block;
}
ul>li {
position: relative;
padding: .4em 0;
background-color: white;
}
li>a {
color: #660000;
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: capitalize;
font-size: 150%;
font-family: "Felix Titling Regular", Times, serif;
background-color: white;
}
<nav>
<ul>

Here's my code on fiddle (https://jsfiddle.net/vwb6g740/1/)
This is true for block elements and inline elements, but not for inline-block elements.
What I know so far is that a parent with nothing but floated children has no height.
You have display:inline-block; set on that parent element.
I can't explain why, but I can reproduce that behavior.
p {
display: inline-block;
background: blue;
}
div {
background: red;
}
span {
background: green;
}
i {
float: left;
}
<div><i>test</i></div>
<span><i>test</i></span>
<p><i>test</i></p>

I am fairly new to web development and stackoverflow. So I am sorry for any inconveniences. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
Set margin: 0px; on h3 tag to resolve this issue. Check updated Snippet below..
body{
margin:0;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
background-image: url("../images/rooms.jpg");
}
.container{
width: 80%;
margin : 0 auto;

Just remove the margin from h3 like
.welcome h3 {
text-align: center;
margin:0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
background-image: url("../images/rooms.jpg");
}
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
header {
background: #343434;
}
header::after {
content: '';
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.logo {
float: left;
padding: 10px;
}
nav {
float: right;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
nav li {
padding: 0;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 60px;
padding-top: 19px;
position: relative;
}
nav a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: uppercase;
padding: 1em 0.5em;
}
nav a:hover {
color: yellow;
}
.welcome {
width: 100%;
height: 250px;
background: #406295;
}
.welcome h3 {
text-align: center;
margin:0;
}
<header>
<div class="container">
<img src="images/logo.png" alt="">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Room Types</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>About Us</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</header>
<div class="welcome">
<h3>Welcome to</h3>
</div>
This is due to collapsing margins
Remove the margin on the h3. Replace it with padding if you want to create space between the header and maintain the background colour.
body {
margin: 0;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
background-image: url("../images/rooms.jpg");
}
.container {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
header {
background: #343434;
}
header::after {
content: '';
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.logo {
float: left;
padding: 10px;
}
nav {
float: right;
}
nav ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
nav li {
padding: 0;
display: inline-block;
margin-left: 60px;
padding-top: 19px;
position: relative;
}
nav a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
font-size: 13px;
text-transform: uppercase;
padding: 1em 0.5em;
}
nav a:hover {
color: yellow;
}
.welcome {
width: 100%;
height: 250px;
background: #406295;
}
.welcome h3 {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 0;
}
<header>
<div class="container">
<img src="images/logo.png" alt="">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Room Types</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>About Us</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</header>
<div class="welcome">
<h3>Welcome to</h3>
</div>
You can try adding style="display: inline; margin:0px; padding:0px;" to your <h3> Tag.
Another way is to apply a rule of overflow: auto to the .welcome div... thus creating a new block formatting context and avoiding the collapsing margins.
Edit: Let's add a little more context. In the spec, you can read that adjoining margins will collapse under certain circumstances. In particular, the margins need to belong to block-level boxes participating in the same block formatting context.
Even though .welcome and h3 are block-level boxes in your example, neither automatically establishes a new block formatting context (meaning they participate in the same block formatting context, meaning their margins collapse). Looking at the spec again, we see that some of the ways to establish a new block formatting context is to have a float, an absolutely positioned element, or a block box with the property of overflow set to something else than visible.
That's why the suggestions regarding overflow: auto or floating one of the elements work. My understanding is that if we make .welcome establish a new block formatting context, the context it participates in is different from the one it establishes itself. Removing the margin (possibly replacing it with padding) is another way to get around the problem.
Either apply margin-top:0 for H3-Tag
or
apply a float:left for .welcome
Both will fix your issue
I am trying to add a div between the header and footer. Both are flex boxes, however the div in between (which in the end needs to be a slider) does not get positioned well. I am trying to get the header on top and the slider to fill up the remaining space of the view height. Only on the scroll it should show the footer (and eventually other div's as well). Somehow I have the feeling flex box is not working correctly..
Basically the same effect as this website: ArsThanea.
Another problem that I have when opening the JSFiddle is that the header and footer do not take the complete width of the view box, although the div does. When running the html and css in the browser using Gulp / Jekyll it works and it takes up the complete width.

DEMO: JSFiddle
Taking a look at your Fiddle, there are many improvements you can make to your markup & CSS, but coming to your issue first, the reason why its not sliding down as expected is this :
position: absolute
you added this to your main div which should go in between .projects-wrapper. First thing I would say is make this a flex as well instead of block element.
Secondly, add a wrapper to your entire project body & Make that flex. like so
<div class="wrapper"> //this should be flex
<header>..</header> //this "could" be flex depending on its contents
<div class="projects-wrapper"></div>
<footer>...</footer> //this "could" be flex depending on its contents
</div>
let me know if you are facing any other problems
I made code for You, please have a look, and tell mi is it good for You.
fiddle
I use calc() to do that
Use 100vh to get the 100% view-port height and subtract the height of header and footer.
min-height: calc(100vh - 50px);
where 50px is the height of header+footer.
partial support for ie
I am trying to make a basic site with HTML & CSS, with a navigation bar, but I have a problem with it [below]:
body
{
background-color: #666;
}
.font_title
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
#title
{
width: 800px;
}
#container
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
height: 995px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
#navigation_holder
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
}
.navigation_button
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
.navigation_button:hover
{
background-color: #09F;
}
<div id="container"> <!-- The main container -->
<div class="font_title", id="title"> Our Site</div>
<div id="navigation_holder">
<div id="navigation_button_1", class="navigation_button"> Home </div>
<div id="navigation_button_2", class="navigation_button"> About </div>
<div id="navigation_button_3", class="navigation_button"> Services </div>
<div id="navigation_button_4", class="navigation_button"> Contact </div>
</div>
<!-- More DIVs in the container -->
</div>
The problem is - all my navigation buttons are stacked up ontop of each other, not on a row. What am I doing wrong?
Instead of making them divs, use anchor tags inside lists. Here's the image and the complete working code for you:
<html>
<head>
<style>
body
{
background-color: #666;
}
.font_title
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 60px;
text-align: center;
}
#title
{
width: 800px;
}
#container
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
height: 995px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
}
#navigation_holder
{
position: relative;
margin: auto;
width: 800px;
}
.navigation_button
{
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
.navigation_button:hover
{
background-color: #09F;
}
ul
{
list-style-type:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
overflow:hidden;
}
li
{
float:left;
}
a:link,a:visited
{
display:block;
width:200px;
font-family: "Segoe UI";
text-align: center;
font-size: 26px;
width: 200px;
height: 40px;
background-color: #09C;
}
a:hover,a:active
{
background-color: #09F;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container"> <!-- The main container -->
<div class="font_title", id="title"> Our Site</div>
<div id="navigation_holder">
<ul>
<li id="navigation_button_1" > Home </li>
<li id="navigation_button_2" > About </li>
<li id="navigation_button_3" > Services </li>
<li id="navigation_button_4" > Contact </li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- More DIVs in the container -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that divs are block elements, thus they naturally position themselves on top of each other. You can use several methods to get them to behave. Applying a display: inline-block to your .navigation_button class is what I would prefer in most cases. In this case, however, a float: left will work just as well.
The two methods have their benefits and drawbacks, but floats can become problematic because they essentially become unrecognizable to non-floated elements (in the same way position: absolute does).
As an aside, if I were you, I'd pull the height off your container, change #navigation_holder to a <nav>, and perhaps even pull the ids (and possibly even the classes!) off of your individual navigation elements. Heck, you could even take out the inner divs entirely, and replace them with a ul whose li were display: inline (it would be more semantic).
You could then reference them like this:
.navigation_holder ul li {
display: inline;
padding-left: 40px; /* or whatever */
}
And if you need to target only the first or last:
.navigation_holder ul li:first-of-type {
// styles
}
.navigation_holder ul li:last-of-type {
// styles
}
To pop the default styles off the ul:
.navigation_holder ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
A reply to your question, and a question to your question...
What are you looking for?
Here are 3 examples:
1 Providing you wanted a normal left hand horizontal inline-list you would do:
HTML
<div id="navigation_holder">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>

Pretty sure this should help you.
Why you dont use <ul> and <li> tags? I think is better. Then in CSS you must use:
display: inline
One example in: http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss_float5
I've never seen anything stupid like that, or may be it's 2:30 am and I am hallucinating. I've made simple anchor links within the header and I am completely unable to click on them. They are just plain text and are completely non-clickable.
I'll be thankful if you can give me a hint as what/where I am not obeying the HTML/CSS daemon.

EDIT
Thanks to Nikhil, the had a Z-index:1 which when removed fixed the bug.
Thanks.
Unless you left something out. it is working for me with and without css.
Tested in IE 8
How did you include the CSS btw?
The <div id="contend"> right next to tag had a z-index:1. This made every link in <header> tag non-clickable.
The solution was to remove the z-index property.
Hope it helps someone.
