So I want the button to link to page 2 at a certain height, like Wikipedia
I've tried linking it but it doesn't seem to do anything
<div class="button1">
<button><a id="#areas.html#location1"></a>Button1</button></div>
CSS
.button1 {
position: absolute;
top: 28%;
left: 22.2%;
}
Page 2
This is what you need.
Just use a button with link to another page then div or a and give it name="location1" to go direct to that section of the page.
Button to another page
<button onclick="location.href='areas.html#location1'" type="button">Button1</button>
If your area.html file
<div name="location1">
content
</div>
Okay after some trial and error and using the comments I think I fixed it allowing it to use the tag (also removed the hyperlink underline and color)
Credit for helping goes to Raptor & AlwaysHelping
This is linking button
<button> Button words</button>
This is the target div
<div id="locationlink1"></div>
And the CSS for color changing the hyperlink color to black
a
{
color: #000000;
}
Good day
I usually build mobile apps on android studio but for a project I'm doing i'm required to build in cordova, that means HTML and css.
Now, I am trying to create a navigation drawer on a floating panel I have already created, i'm not sure how to go about doing it with pure html and css. I tried using select and and option tags but I need this navigation drawer to have input options like textboxes and buttons. And I understand select cannot be used with input options?
Can I please have some assistance.
You may create two divs one named as "drawer" and other one as "drawer-content" and put "drawer-content" in "drawer". Set display of the drawer-content div to none, unless drawer is hovered.
You may use the following code and make changes according to your need:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
.drawer {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.drawer-content {
display: none;
}
.drawer:hover .drawer-content {
display: block;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="drawer">
<a class="drawer">TUTORIALS</a>
<div class="drawer-content">
<input type="text"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit"><br>
<a>HTML</a><br>
<a>CSS</a><br>
<a>Javascript</a><br>
<a>JQuery</a><br>
<a>Bootstrap</a><br>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I want an image to automatically popup when someone goes to our main page. One that they can click to close after they have seen it. Can someone please show me how to do this that doesn't require a ton of coding. Thanks you!
I would do this with jQuery (and I bet you're using jQuery for your template too :) )
Be sure you're calling the jQuery library in your page, I would recommend to place it just before the </body> tag and BELOW all the scripts.
for example
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- let's call the following div as the POPUP FRAME -->
<div id="popup">
<!-- and here comes the image -->
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/cVJrCHU.jpg" alt="popup">
<!-- Now this is the button which closes the popup-->
<button id="close">Close button</button>
<!-- and finally we close the POPUP FRAME-->
<!-- everything on it will show up within the popup so you can add more things not just an image -->
</div>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
//your jquery script here
</script>
</body>
</html>
This will show up a piece of code, if you want to simply show an image, put the id="popup" directly on your <img> tag.
Now, let's move to the example... the code is pretty easy to understand:
//with this first line we're saying: "when the page loads (document is ready) run the following script"
$(document).ready(function () {
//select the POPUP FRAME and show it
$("#popup").hide().fadeIn(1000);
//close the POPUP if the button with id="close" is clicked
$("#close").on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#popup").fadeOut(1000);
});
});
The script behaves like this: When the page is loaded, the content inside <div id="popup"> show up, and if the button with id="close" is clicked, then the pop up is hidden. Add whatever you want inside this <div id="popup"> and it will show inside the popup.
The CSS: SUPER IMPORTANT!
/*we need to style the popup with CSS so it is placed as a common popup does*/
#popup {
display:none;
position:absolute;
margin:0 auto;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
z-index: 9999;
}
You can see it working along with the HTML on this live example:

I haven't done HTML and CSS for a while so I may be forgetting something, but for some reason a "style" tag with the "text-align" property set isn't working even in the simplest context. I'm about to show you the whole, entire file that I have but my problem is only in the two comments I have. Don't worry about the other stuff; it's for a little passion project I'm working on.
So here is the whole file. I have a lot of stuff in it that isn't relevant nor important; just focus on the code in the two comments.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title>JSON Generator</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="web_mod.css"></link>
</head>
<body bgColor="#E3E3E3">
<!--Start here-->
<span style="text-align: center">Coded by AnnualMelons</span><br>
<!--Finish here-->
<span style="color: red; background-color: #2CE65A">Use this generator to generate the code required to create a JSON message.<br>
Fill in the blanks to generate the code. The generator will guide you through it as you go along. Have fun!</span>
<script>
</script>
</body>
</html>
The "Coded by AnnualMelons" part is supposed to be in the center but it's not. At least for me it's not.
I know that the other part of the file isn't relevant but I figured I might as well show you as it may be an external problem.
I'm sure I'm just making a silly mistake because I haven't done this for a while, but it's not working... so yeah. I'm using Firefox as my web browser in case that helps.
Thanks!
The <span> Element is, by default, an "inline" element. Meaning unlike block level elements (<div> <h1> <p> etc.) the span only takes up as much horizontal space as its content.
text-align: center IS working, but you're applying it to an element that doesn't have a width greater than its content (as all block elements do).
I recommend either changing the span to a <p> element, or specifying the display: block property on your span.
Here's a JSfiddle to demonstrate that both a <span> with display: block; text-align: center and a <p> with text-align: center; achieve the same effect.
Hope that helps!
Use a p or div rather than a span. Text is an inline element and so is a span. For text-align to work, it must be used on a block level element (p, div, etc.) to center the inline content.
example:
<div style="text-align: center">Coded by AnnualMelons</div><br>
Use this in style
margin-left: 50%;
example-
<span style="margin-left: 45%;">Centered Text</span>
.span {
text-align: center;
width: -webkit-fill-available;
}
This Worked for me and the text inside my span tag is now aligned to the center.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish in HTML/CSS:
I have images in different heights and widths, but they are all under 180x235. So what I want to do is create a div with border and vertical-align: middle them all. I have successfully done that but now I am stuck on how to properly a href link the entire div.
Here is my code:
<div id="parentdivimage" style="position:relative;width:184px;height:235px;border-width:2px;border-color:black;border-style:solid;text-align:center;">
<div id="childdivimage" style="position:absolute;top:50%;height:62px;margin-top:-31px;">
<img src="myimage.jpg" height="62" width="180">
</div>
</div>
Please note that for the sake of copy pasting here easily, the style code is inline.
I read somewhere that I can simply add another parent div on top of the code and then do a href inside that. However, based on some research it won't be valid code.
So to sum it up again, I need the entire div (#parentdivimage) to be a href link.
UPDATE 06/10/2014: using div's inside a's is semantically correct in HTML5.
You'll need to choose between the following scenarios:
<a href="http://google.com">
<div>
Hello world
</div>
</a>
which is semantically incorrect, but it will work.
<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="window.location='http://google.com';">
Hello world
</div>
which is semantically correct but it involves using JS.
<a href="http://google.com">
<span style="display: block;">
Hello world
</span>
</a>
which is semantically correct and works as expected but is not a div any more.
Why don't you strip out the <div> element and replace it with an <a> instead? Just because the anchor tag isn't a div doesn't mean you can't style it with display:block, a height, width, background, border, etc. You can make it look like a div but still act like a link. Then you're not relying on invalid code or JavaScript that may not be enabled for some users.
Do it like this:
Parentdivimage should have specified width and height, and its position should be:
position: relative;
Just inside the parentdivimage, next to other divs that parent contains you should put:
<span class="clickable"></span>
Then in css file:
.clickable {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
}
The span tag will fill out its parent block which is parentdiv, because of height and width set to 100%. Span will be on the top of all of surrounding elements because of setting z-index higher than other elements. Finally span will be clickable, because it's inside of an 'a' tag.
Going off of what Surreal Dreams said, it's probably best to style the anchor tag in my experience, but it really does depend on what you are doing. Here's an example:
Html:
<div class="parent-div">
Test
Test
Test
</div>
Then the CSS:
.parent-div {
width: 200px;
}
a {
display:block;
background-color: #ccc;
color: #000;
text-decoration:none;
padding:10px;
margin-bottom:1px;
}
a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
}

Two things you can do:
Change #childdivimage to a span element, and change #parentdivimage to an anchor tag. This may require you to add some more styling to get things looking perfect. This is preffered, since it uses semantic markup, and does not rely on javascript.
Use Javascript to bind a click event to #parentdivimage. You must redirect the browser window by modifying window.location inside this event. This is TheEasyWayTM, but will not degrade gracefully.
I'm surprised no one suggested this simple trick so far! (denu does something similar though.)
If you want a link to cover an entire div, an idea would be to create an empty <a> tag as the first child:
<div class="covered-div">
<a class="cover-link" href="/my-link"></a>
<!-- other content as usual -->
</div>
div.covered-div {
position: relative;
}
a.cover-link {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
This works especially great when using <ul> to create block sections or slideshows and you want the whole slide to be a link (instead of simply the text on the slide). In the case of an <li> it's not valid to wrap it with an <a> so you'd have to put the cover link inside the item and use CSS to expand it over the entire <li> block.
Do note that having it as the first child means it will make other links or buttons inside the text unreachable by clicks. If you want them to be clickable, then you'd have to make it the last child instead.
In the case of the original question:
<div id="parentdivimage" style="position:relative;width:184px;height:235px;border-width:2px;border-color:black;border-style:solid;text-align:center;">
<a class="cover-link" href="/my-link"></a> <!-- Insert this empty link here and use CSS to expand it over the entire div -->
<div id="childdivimage" style="position:absolute;top:50%;height:62px;margin-top:-31px;">
<img src="myimage.jpg" height="62" width="180">
</div>
<!-- OR: it can also be here if the childdivimage divs should have their own clickable links -->
</div>
Make the div of id="childdivimag" a span instead, and wrap that in an a element. As the span and img are in-line elements by default this remains valid, whereas a div is a block level element, and therefore invalid mark-up when contained within an a.
put display:block on the anchor element. and/or zoom:1;
but you should just really do this.
a#parentdivimage{position:relative; width:184px; height:235px;
border:2px solid #000; text-align:center;
background-image:url("myimage.jpg");
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat:no-repeat; display:block;
text-indent:-9999px}
<a id="parentdivimage">whatever your alt attribute was</a>
This can be done in many ways.
a. Using nested inside a tag.
<a href="link1.html">
<div> Something in the div </div>
</a>
b. Using the Inline JavaScript Method
<div onclick="javascript:window.location.href='link1.html' ">
Some Text
</div>
c. Using jQuery inside tag
HTML:
<div class="demo" > Some text here </div>
jQuery:
$(".demo").click( function() {
window.location.href="link1.html";
});
I simply do
onClick="location.href='url or path here'"
What I would do is put a span inside the <a> tag, set the span to block, and add size to the span, or just apply the styling to the <a> tag. Definitely handle the positioning in the <a> tag style. Add an onclick event to the a where JavaScript will catch the event, then return false at the end of the JavaScript event to prevent default action of the href and bubbling of the click. This works in cases with or without JavaScript enabled, and any AJAX can be handled in the Javascript listener.
If you're using jQuery, you can use this as your listener and omit the onclick in the a tag.
$('#idofdiv').live("click", function(e) {
//add stuff here
e.preventDefault; //or use return false
});
this allows you to attach listeners to any changed elements as necessary.
A link with <div> tags:
<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="window.location='http://www.google.com';">
Something in the div
</div>
A link with <a> tags:
<a href="http://www.google.com">
<div>
Something in the div
</div>
</a>
