I'm a bit lost in the weeds trying to customize a jekyll theme. My repository is capecchi.github.io and I'm trying to get some menu icons centered. I have looked into how to do this and have successfully gotten the blog/project buttons centered, but for some reason my social buttons below are slightly off-center to the right. The only added class that I can see (in header.html) is the "navigation--social" class (defined in /css/uno.css), and I can't find where in this class it might define a left margin or anything. I'm new to web development and have been poking at this for quite some time (hence the "TESTING" button I added). I'm just stuck finding where this offset is coming from and would appreciate any input. Thanks!
There is a margin-left of 1.5em on .navigation--social (uno.css line 1391).
Actually, removing this margin centers the buttons quite good but not perfectly, because there is another margin-right on .navigation__item (uno.css line 1376). You should either put an equal amount of margin-left or remove the margin-right to get perfectly centered buttons.
I found this out by using the inspector of Firefox. Most browsers come with this feature, you can open it up by right-clicking the page and selecting "Inspect Element" from the context menu.

I am not sure what is causing this.. I have been looking at different smart phone screen sizes in chrome dev tools mobile view, and that random white space on the right side of my page is always there. I can't see any element that has margin showing, or padding on that side.
I thought maybe it was the bootstrap row class causing it, and I made sure to add the row inside of a container-fluid div as the docs say to do.
The weird thing is, when I hover over every element on inspecting, they all show this white space on the right; even if I hover over the html tag... So I'm thinking the issue is bigger than bootstrap at this point.
I have tried adding the following with no changes.:
html{
box-sizing: border-box;
overflow-x: none;
}
When I'm in the mobile dev tools looking at the screen, I can drag and move the cursor left and right and the whole screen shakes to fill that right blank spot... So it is not behaving like it is using border-box..
When actually viewing the live site on my phone, this shaking back and forth doesn't happen, but I still see a slight white vertical space on the right side behind the cursor.. Idk if I'm being too picky and this is just space for the cursor in the phone settings? Although I see the same blank spot on every phone size in google chrome dev tools mobile view.. I know I'm not crazy! Well not completely yet!
Also, not that it helps in this situation(I think), my site is built using .NET Core 6 MVC. I am using Bootstrap 5. I am ready to start removing my media-query css line by line to see what could be causing it.. Its not an obvious issue, but I notice it of course.
If anyone has any idea what it could be, please let me know where to start.
You have to take into account that an element's width is not just the width itself, but a sum of its width, padding, border, and margin, and sometimes border-box doesn't fix the problem.
If you're using animations on scroll like a slide from left to right or vice versa can also screw your pages sometimes.
Well I can't believe it but I had overflow-x: none, instead of overflow-x: hidden; I also had it on the wrong media query in my CSS.
Just glad I'm not crazy! lol
I've got this weird problem which it seems that i simply can't solve (so far). The weird thing is that I've done almost exactly the same layout before for a navigation-bar, which was succesful.
In my navigation bar i have a button (not an actual <button> but a <div> which acts like one through jquery) to the farthest right of it, which has a background color and expands on click. The problem is that in IE and some resolutions of Chrome as well, there's a little white stripe shown beneath this div. Further this makes the child div that expands beneath it have a little gap between the button in the navigation bar and it self. This might not matter to some people (or most), but it's driving me mad - especially considering that i've done it before and used almost the very same css.
The <div> (to be more precise, it's the "quick-download" div) is set to a height of 70px and line-height of 70px, and the same goes for its siblings (and some of them less). However, the parent div shows up as 70.4px in height, which is bugging me out. I've tried numerous "trial-and-error" solutions/attempts, but with no success at all.
EDIT:
An image of the problem can be seen here (i changed background to red to make it more apparent): http://imgur.com/fya0duQ
EDIT 2:
The white space beneath the quick-download div appears only to be showing in IE and Safari on my compute right now.
EDIT 3:
Link to website is removed as the problem is corrected and therefore no longer is useful.
Assuming you mean the "Quick Download" button...
The height of the navigation bar is 75px and the height of the button is 70px, creating a 5px-tall gap.
The reason your navigation bar is 75px is because your image on the left is 60px tall with margin-top: 15px;. If you want the button to be flush with the bottom of the navigation bar, you can either increase the height of the button, reduce the margin-top of the <img id="aktie-skat-logo" ...>, or reduce the image's height.
The CSS in question:
#aktie-skat-logo {
margin-top: 15px;
display: block;
}
I've actually tracked the problem down my self - however, only after checking the problem across different browsers, after posting in here. The hint came in my old version of safari and IE, and didn't show in Chrome - which is consistent with "EDIT 2" in the original post. I found that some links we're 0.4px higher than others, but only 2/5 links.
The problem apparently stems from inserting a FontAwesome icon using the css ::after selector to links that has "children" (subpages). After removing this or making these icons position:absolute the problem is solved.
As to why insering these using ::after I have no idea. The ::after element had display:inline so shouldn't have broken too much in my opinion.
I'm sorry that I might have wasted your time checking my problem and answering, but even though I found the solution my self, it was a help posting in here (wouldn't have found it otherwise). I hope this might help some other people at some point.
I am trying to create a wordpress theme. I am developing on a local wamp environment with wordpress 4.1 installed and I am using the underscores_ base theme
I am trying to have the site-title in the left corner and the navigation menu on the right hand side at the top of my page. When I float the .site-title left and the .main-navigation right and set the display of both to inline-block the browser still seems to render them as blocks.
I have checked in the developer tools (Chrome) and under the "Computed" tab it appears to be rendering as block. When I expand this it says it is rendering as inline-block, though it doesn't act like it.
Here is an image of what I mean. http://imgur.com/LKLeOTE
Any help would be appreciated. I have never come across this before.
RESOLVED
I didn't notice that in the reset.css there was a rule that heading elements would clear:both. I added a rule to the relevant classes that set clear:none.
This ensured the floated elements lined up without trying to clear eachother.
The picture shows the problem area I have with my website. That little black line protrudes out from behind my dropdown menu and in Firefox the word resources will appear underneath home, but it IE and Chrome the menu looks as it should, except for that little black line that sticks out. The template I'm using is a modified Dreamweaver template. It didn't used to do this, but I breaked it :/
edit: all fixed.
You need to clear your floats.
If you add overflow: hidden to your top menu UL and the sidebar div, you will notice the HR moves down.
Edit
Just an FYI, there is probably a better way to clear your floats then just adding overflow: hidden everywhere like I showed in this answer. It really depends on how you are laying out the page, and I don't know what your plans are. Therefore, here are some links below that explain what floats are, how they work, and how to clear them, which should give you a better understanding.

My page, it keeps on getting different menu width when i zoom in and out. It is fine in IE, and no one else. I did not spot any fixed positioning, this seems to be using relative position.
have tried playing and disabling all CSS property to my menu bar through google chrome inspect element.
turn this from none to auto: " -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto "
Tried to use em ex px for my font-szie and padding. I am juiced out of ideas, save me internet!!!

Try zooming out, you will find press room gets pushed down. I got this SimplyBiz theme from wpcrunchy. It seems even the paid version have this problem too. The CSS and html is way too large to post, too much bloated codes, i think is sufficient to just use chrome inspect element.
I took a look at the site, and my opinion is that the css and js that make up the menu functionality are creating a 6th menu element. That would explain why an extra little tab is hanging off the end there. Since it doesn't have any content, the browsers are all handling the whitespace a little differently.
Did you by any chance modify the menu to take it from 6 elements to 5?
