I have attached an Image. I want to create similar Border. but I am unable to create top border half
here is my CSS
border-left:1px solid;
border-top:1px solid;
border-bottom:1px solid;
border-right:1px solid;
How do I actually make top border limited?
You can abuse a fieldset and legend for this:
fieldset {
height: 100px;
width: 80%;
margin: 1em auto;
}
legend {
padding: 1em;
}
<fieldset>
<legend>Icon here</legend>
</fieldset>
Note: This is not semantic as this is not the intended use of a fieldset or legend.
MDN Reference
The HTML element is used to group several controls as well as labels () within a web form.
Use fieldset and legend:
body {
background-color: #4a494e;
}
.box {
border: 5px #b79a60 solid;
color: #b79a60;
}
.box-label {
color: #b79a60;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
<fieldset class="box">
<legend class="box-label">Insert Clock Image Here</legend>
<h1>Hours</h1>
<p>Show gallery opens daily</p>
<p>11.00am - 6.00pm</p>
</fieldset>

I've stumbled upon an interesting challenge in css which I can't seem to figure out.
I'm trying to make a form field, quite similar to what google does in their login form, where the label is moved relatively to to the top when the form field has focus, covering part of the form field's border. This is rather easy when the background is white, as I can just set background-color: #fff on the label.
In my case, however, I have a full-screen image background, which means my label background has to be transparent for the background-image, but has to cover the border of the form field. Is this possible?
This is my form markup:
<form>
<div class="form-field__container">
<div class="form-field__wrapper">
<label class="form-field__label input--active">Email</label>
<input class="form-field__input form-field__input--text"
type="text">
</div>
</div>
</form>
The form-field has a border around it:
.form-field__input {
border: 2px solid #e6e6e6;
}
The input--active class is set when the form field has focus, which adds the following styles to the label:
top: -10px;
left: 10px;
z-index: 1;
This moves my label over the top-border of the form field. Normally, I would then just add a background-color to the label which is the same as the page background, set a display: blockon that, and the label would cover the part of the form field border, which would solve my issue.
I do however have an image as a page background, which means I can't set a background-color on the label, because this would also cover a part of the page background. Is there any css property which allows me to have the label behave in a way that cuts out the part of the top border of the form-field which is below the label but doesn't cut away any of the background-image?
Below is an image of what I've got so far, for clarification:
I'd really appreciate the help.

That's what you have fieldset and Legend for:
<fieldset>
<legend>
<label class="form-field__label input--active">Email</label>
</legend>
<input class="form-field__input form-field__input--text" type="text">
</fieldset>
here's an alternative hack that hides the top border completely and uses additional elements to create border to the left and right of the label text...
it's different than your approach and element structure, but it may give you some hints in how to use other elements to emulate a top border
body {
font-family: sans-serif;
background: linear-gradient(to top right, pink, orange);
}
input {
border: 2px solid black;
border-top: 0;
background: transparent;
}
input:focus {
outline: none;
border-color: blue;
}
label {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
label:focus-within .top-border-replacement:before,
label:focus-within .top-border-replacement:after {
border-color: blue;
}
label:focus-within .label-text {
color: blue;
}
.top-border-replacement {
display: flex;
}
.label-text {
position: relative;
bottom: -7px;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 12px;
padding: 0 4px;
font-weight: bold;
}
.top-border-replacement:before {
content: '';
width: 10px;
border-bottom: 2px solid black;
}
.top-border-replacement:after {
content: '';
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 2px solid black;
}
<label>
<span class="top-border-replacement">
<span class="label-text">TEST</span>
</span>
<input type="text" />
</label>
I'm looking to find out how to add another box inside my box which would be faded to act as a title bar for that specific box (If that makes sense)!
So basically, in the SOCIALBOX I'm looking to get a sub-faded bar at the top inside which would act as a title bar.
After a few comments of people saying they're not sure what I mean, I created a quick image in photoshop to act as some reference point.
Code Snippet:
body {
background: url("../images/backgroundimage.jpg") repeat 0 0;
}
/* CSS MENU BAR CODE GOES HERE */
#menubar {
width: 98.5%;
height: 40px;
background-color: #000000;
position: fixed;
border: 2px solid #ffffff;
}
.inside_text {
color: #FFFFFF;
float: right;
margin: 11px 7px 0 0;
}
.inside_text2 {
color: #FFFFFF;
float: left;
margin: 11px 0 0 7px;
}
/* CSS SOCIALBOX (RIGHT) GOES HERE */
#socialbox {
width: 40%;
height: 40%;
position: relative;
float: right;
margin: 0 8px 0 0;
background-color: #000000;
border: 2px solid #126b72;
}
<div id="menubar">
<div class="inside_text">
PLACEHOLDER TEXT
</div>
<div class="inside_text2">
PLACEHOLDER TEXT
</div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div id="socialbox">
</div>
So you are asking for a faded line within SOCIALBOX div, to serve as underline for a title?
If thats correct create another class
.title-bar
{
border-bottom:3px;
solid black;
opacity:0.3;
}
position with margin-left & margin-top values inside that class based on where you want it within SOCIALBOX.
for example:
.title-bar
{
border-bottom:3px;
solid black;
opacity:0.3;
margin-left:50px;
margin-top:30px;
float:left;
}
create a:
<div class="title-bar"></div>
and place that inside
<div id="socialbox"></div>
BTW make it a habit to use float:left when positioning divs with CSS, try to avoid position:absolute or fixed, unless absolutely necessary. It just comes out cleaner this way.
it's possible to make it like this when you onfocus (onclick) on the input text. Any help would be appreciated.
You can make use of outline and :focus, these are compatible with major browsers.
HTML
<input type="text" class="inp" />
<br>
<input type="text" class="inp" />
CSS
.inp{
border:solid 2px gray;
margin: 20px 5px;
outline:solid 10px silver;
}
.inp:focus{
outline:solid 10px red;
}
Preview on JSFiddle
You can do it like this :
input:focus
{
background-color:blue;//*
}
*this is just a example to change the background color.Do any thing that u desire here
Take look at complete example here.
You can wrap the input with an anchor tag, and set it to change background-color onfocus:
<a class='focused'><input /></a>
with CSS:
.focused:hover{
background-color:blue;
}
or, if you want it to change when the input is active, you need to use javascript/jQuery.
I think you would have to wrap each input in a div and give that div a background color when it has focus using JavaScript. Here's a version in jQuery...
$(document).ready(function() {
$('input').on('focus', function() {
$(this).parent().css('background-color', 'blue');
});
});
I think this CSS trick can be used rarely in real cases, but it is funny, that we can make this effect with box-shadows.
http://jsfiddle.net/XSpwg/
HTML:
<div>
<form>
<input></input>
<input></input>
<input></input>
</form>
</div>
CSS:
div {
background-color: lightgrey;
width: 80%;
max-width: 400px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 5px;
}
input {
margin: 2em 0.5em;
display: block;
border: solid 2px lightblue;
outline: none;
height: 16px;
line-height: 16px;
font-size: 12px;
}
input:focus {
box-shadow: 180px 227px 0 200px lightgrey,
180px 195px 0 200px blue;
}
Use pseudo-class selector for various effects.
There are two possible methods using CSS
Method 1 --> if you need both hover and on focus effect then use border styling for the <input> element
here is a typical HTML and CSS for method 1, --> Jsfiddle view
HTML
<form class="form-style">
<input class="input-style" type="text" name="some-name">
<input class="input-style" type="text" name="some-name">
</form>
CSS
.form-style
{
width: 250px;
margin:auto;
background-color: #d6d6d6;
display:block;
}
.input-style
{
width:200px;
margin:auto;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
line-height: 2;
border-width: 20px 25px;
border-collapse: separate;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #d6d6d6;
display: block;
}
input.input-style:focus, input.input-style:hover
{
border-color: #3399FF;
}
Method 2 -> if you need just a hover effect then enclose the <input> element in a <div> and add :hover effect to it, or you can use the method 1 :hover and remove the :focus selector
here is a typical HTML and CSS for method 2, --> Jsfiddle view
HTML
<form class="form-style">
<div class="input-style">
<input type="text" name="some-name">
</div>
<div class="input-style">
<input type="text" name="some-name">
</div>
</form>
CSS
.form-style
{
width:250px;
margin:auto;
display:block;
}
.input-style
{
width: 200px;
background-color: #d6d6d6;
padding:20px 25px 20px 25px;
display: block;
}
.input-style input
{
width:inherit;
line-height: 2;
display: block;
}
.input-style:hover
{
background-color: #3399FF;
}
My advice -> just use on focus effect, because on hover will highlight the <input> on which the mouse is over even if you you are typing (on focus) in another <input>
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 want to make something like a horizontal line with a text in the middle of it. It should look like this (text image follows):
------------------------------------------ TEXT --------------------------------------------
the line should be dotted and the text in the middle should separate the line in half.
I came up with the idea of using a table with 3 elements with percentage values in width attribute but maybe there is a better solution.
I hope it's clear. Thanks for ideas
<div id="line"><span>TEXT</span></div>
And CSS:
#line{
border-bottom: 1px black dotted;
overflow:visible;
height:9px;
text-align:center;
margin: 5px 0 10px 0;
}
#line span{
background-color: white;
text-align:center;
padding: 0 5px;
}
See Example on JSFiddle
I would use CSS, and two containers:
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/LRSuJ/
HTML:
<div class="something">
<div class="content">Text</div>
</div>
CSS:
.something {
border-bottom: dotted 1px #000;/* Border style */
height: 10px; /* Adjusted height */
margin-bottom: 10px; /* Proper offset for next element */
line-height: 20px; /* Actual text height */
text-align: center; /* Center text */
}
.content {
background-color: #FFF; /* Hide previous dots */
display: inline; /* Inline element */
padding: 0 10px; /* Customisable left/right whitespace */
}
You could use a fieldset and legend:
<fieldset>
<legend>TEXT</legend>
</fieldset>
fieldset
{
border-top:solid 1px black;
}
fieldset legend
{
text-align:center;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/2amBc/
I would do it like this:
HTML
<fieldset>
<legend>Text with dotted line</legend>
</fieldset>
CSS
fieldset {
border: 0;
border-top: 1px dotted gray;
}
legend {
text-align: center;
}
