I need to make sure that the 'Next' button below the video is centered vertically and horizontally within the block with the yellow background.
In addition, the 'click' effect on the button does not seem to work as intended. There is something causing a conflict here and I cannot figure out what.
When I only run the "next-video-button" and "next-video-button:active" CSS rules, everything works perfectly.
You may find my CSS and HTML below.
.course-video {
background: #f9c70f;
border: none;
margin: 0;
box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3) inset;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3) inset;
border-radius: 0;
-moz-border-radius: 0;
}
.next-video-button {
transition: all 0.1s;
-webkit-transition: all 0.1s;
padding: 7px 200px;
border-radius: 10px;
font-family: 'Montserrat';
font-size: 1em;
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #888888;
border-bottom: 5px solid #5a5a5a;
text-shadow: 1px -2px #888888;
text-align: center;
}
.next-video-button:active {
transform: translate(0px,5px);
-webkit-transform: translate(0px,5px);
border-bottom: 1px solid;
}
.video-title {
font-family: montserrat;
font-size: 1.5em;
color: #000000;
padding: 0.5em;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 854px;
text-shadow: 0px 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}
.video-descr {
width: 854px;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 50px;
margin-top: -5px;
}
<div class="course-video video-title">Hello</div>
<iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/154094373" width="854" height="360" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>
<div class="course-video video-descr">NEXT</div>
To center the button give it a width and add margin: 0 auto and display: block; to .next-video-button.
The button won't work though because of a href="#". Replace the # with the video URL.

I'm trying to recreate this image in CSS.
This is what I got from experimenting, so far. I used box-shadow to act as the second box. I'm not sure if there's a better way to do this?
h4 {
font-family: sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
text-align: center;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 600;
color: black;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding: 20px 15px;
background: white;
box-shadow: 10px 5px 0px 0px #ffffff, 11px 7px 0px 2px #000000;
}
<h4>3. Scouting for a location</h4>
You can achieve this via absolutely position pseudo element. Also avoid property duplication via CSS inheritance.
.border {
text-align: center;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 600;
color: black;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding: 20px 15px;
margin: 15px 15px;
background: white;
position: relative; /* new */
}
/* new */
.border:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
display: block;
background: inherit;
border-radius: inherit;
border: inherit;
left: 2px;
top: 2px;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: -1;
}
<div class="border">3. Scouting for a location</div>
The concept behind using box-shadow is that two shadows, one white and one black, overlap to simulate a second black border. But the black shadow is only visible in the direction from which it is offset from the white shadow, so a gap is apparent between the original border and the black shadow (as shown in the OP's original post).
The "spread radius" of the black shadow could be utilized to eliminate this gap (cleverly demonstrated by Nirav Joshi), but then the curvature of the corners is amplified and the two borders look different.
To duplicate the original border, I'd use ::after to generate an absolutely-positioned pseudo-element and use z-index to place it behind the original element. To further ensure that the border is duplicated exactly, I like Vadim Ovchinnikov's idea of inheriting the border color and radius from the original element.
.border {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 600;
color: black;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding: 20px 15px;
margin: 15px 15px;
background: white;
}
.border::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 3px;
left: 3px;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index: -1;
}
<h4 class="border">3. SCOUTING FOR A LOCATION</h4>
Try this example
Hope it will help you.
.border {
text-align: center;
border: solid 3px black;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 600;
color: black;
letter-spacing: 2px;
padding: 20px 15px;
margin: 15px 15px;
background: white;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 0px 0px #ffffff, 3px 3px 0px 3px #000000;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 0px 0px #ffffff, 3px 3px 0px 3px #000000;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 0px 0px #ffffff, 3px 3px 0px 3px #000000;
}
<div class="border">Title</div>
EDIT
Here now you can see that i made box-shadow to 3px and no longer right side corner.
Use an absolute positioned ::after or ::before pseudo element and have its z-index lower than the element itself.
After using a unicode for a button, I've noticed that the unicode character is not properly aligned to the center (both horizontally & vertically) of the button. I'm not sure why this is happening when I used padding: 0;
.btn{
background-color: #868f98;
width: 60px;
height: 60px;
border-radius: 20%;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: #FFF;
padding: 0;
font-size: 2em;
box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.16), 0 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.23);
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
<button class="btn">☰</button>
Setting line-height to 60px on your .btn rule will center the character.
.btn{
background-color: #868f98;
width: 60px;
height: 60px;
line-height: 60px;
border-radius: 20%;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: #FFF;
padding: 0;
font-size: 2em;
box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.16), 0 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.23);
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
<button class="btn">☰</button>
apparently that symbol character is not in the vertical center of its line. (It is horizontally centered, though) So you just have to try around with a padding-bottom until you find the right value:
.btn{
box-sizing: border-box;
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: #868f98;
width: 60px;
height: 60px;
border-radius: 20%;
border: none;
outline: none;
color: #FFF;
padding: 0 0 0.24em 0;
font-size: 2em;
box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.16), 0 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.23);
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
<button class="btn">☰</button>
I am not able to achieve the click-effect in my Next button (see snippet 1).
In the first snippet it is achievend with the float: left; value, but when I insert it into my code, it breaks the position of the button. My 'Next' button is supposed to be the way it is the second snippet, i.e. vertically and horizontally centered.
Any ideas how to find a workaround here?

Try using
.next-video-button {
display:inline-block;
...
}
instead of
float:left
Using inline-block makes the element act like it was text so your text-aligns will work on these as well
If I remove the float:left attribute from .action-button the transform animation doesn't work. Can you explain what is happening here?

This is because a elements are inline elements, in that they align the the parent element and do not clear either side.
When you add float: left, It changes the elements from being inline to block but also removes the clear: both and allows for elements to be aligned next to each other.
You can achieve the same effect as a float by using inline-block if you don't want the tags to float on the page.
.action-button {
position: relative;
padding: 10px 40px;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
display: inline-block;
border-radius: 8px;

}

Hello
How
Are
You?
fiddle
I am trying to add a background image to a button (or link with the same class) which already has a background color.
Here is the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/BNvke/
The button looks great by itself, but I am trying to make it so that if I add a certain class, the padding will be adjusted and a background image will be displayed, however the image does not show. Here is the CSS/HTML:
.button {
padding: 10px;
margin-right: 8px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, FreeSans, sans-serif;
text-shadow: 0 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
display: inline-block;
white-space: nowrap;
line-height: 1em;
position: relative;
outline: none;
overflow: visible;
cursor: pointer;
border-radius: 4px;
-moz-border-radius: 4px;
-webkit-border-radius: 4px;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px 0 #CCCCCC;
-moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px 0 #CCCCCC;
-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 2px 0 #CCCCCC;
}
.button_blue {
border: 1px solid #305875;
color: #FBFBFB;
background-color: #3D6E97;
}
.button_blue:hover {
color: #FBFBFB;
opacity: 0.9;
filter: alpha(opacity=90);
}
.button_about {
background-image: url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ni0ahd.png) 3px 5px no-repeat;
padding-left: 35px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
<p><a class="button button_blue">Without Background</a></p>
<p><a class="button button_blue button_about">With Background</a></p>
How can I get that background image to show?
see http://jsfiddle.net/BNvke/1/
just change
background-image url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ni0ahd.png) 3px 5px no-repeat;
with
background: url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ni0ahd.png) 3px 5px no-repeat;
and move up the last rule so the rule about background-color defined for .button_blue can be applied on cascade
.button {
background: url(http://i47.tinypic.com/2ni0ahd.png);
background-repeat: 3px 5px no-repeat;
}
