I've tried reducing the vertical space between two lines of text using various CSS properties, such as margin-top and padding, but nothing seems to work.
The two lines look like so:
I want them much closer together, so that they are almost touching. No matter what I do with the margin-top property, though, it's not enough and eventually gets to a point where I'm making things even worse.
Here is the CSS and HTML:
<style>
.jumbotronjr {
padding: 12px;
margin-bottom: -16px;
font-size: 21px;
font-weight: 200;
line-height: 2.1428571435;
color: inherit;
background-color: white;
}
.titletext {
font-size: 2.8em;
color: darkgreen;
font-family: Candara, Calibri, Cambria, serif;
margin-left: -32px;
}
.titletextjr {
font-size: 1.4em;
color: darkgreen;
font-family: Candara, Calibri, Cambria, serif;
margin-left: -32px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container body-content">
<div class="jumbotronjr">
<div class="col-md-3" style="margin-top: 1cm">
<img src="http://www.proactusa.com/wp-content/themes/proact/images/pa_logo_notag.png" alt="PRO*ACT usa logo">
</div>
<div class="col-md-9">
<label class="titletext" style="margin-top: 0.1cm;">eServices Reporting</label>
<br/>
<label class="titletextjr" style="margin-top: -2cm;">Purchasing Report for RB Kitchen</label>
</div>
</div>
What change or addition do I need to make to get these lines closer together (specifically, for the second line to move up vertically)?
There is a large space between them because your .jumbotronjr class has a line-height: 2.1428571435;. Remove this and it will remove the space between your text.
.jumbotronjr {
padding: 12px;
margin-bottom: -16px;
font-size: 21px;
font-weight: 200;
line-height: 2.1428571435; /* <--- Remove this */
color: inherit;
background-color: white;
}
JSFiddle
The limited-flexibility with vertical space is due to the <br> tag. The alternative approach would be to remove the <br> and display the labels as blocks in order to get the stacked appearance. Then, as you can see, your spacing margins and paddings (even line-heights) work as intended.
.jumbotronjr {
padding: 12px;
margin-bottom: -16px;
font-size: 21px;
font-weight: 200;
line-height: 2.1428571435;
color: inherit;
background-color: white;
}
.titletext {
font-size: 2.8em;
color: darkgreen;
font-family: Candara, Calibri, Cambria, serif;
margin-left: -32px;
display:block;
}
.titletextjr {
font-size: 1.4em;
color: darkgreen;
font-family: Candara, Calibri, Cambria, serif;
margin-left: -32px;
display:block;
}
<div class="container body-content">
<div class="jumbotronjr">
<label class="titletext" style="margin-top: 0.1cm;">eServices Reporting</label>
<label class="titletextjr" style="margin-top: -2cm;">Purchasing Report for RB Kitchen</label>
</div>
</div>
Do you have any control over the markup? The use of the <label> tag here is incorrect. From Mozilla Developer Network - "The HTML Label Element () represents a caption for an item in a user interface. It can be associated with a control either by placing the control element inside the element, or by using the for attribute." - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/label
For proper semantics, I would recommend changing these to header tags as they seem to convey a heading on the page.
By simply changing these elements and removing the <br> tag I believe you will achieve the desired effect:
<h1 class="titletext" style="margin-top: 0.1cm;">eServices Reporting</h1>
<h2 class="titletextjr" style="margin-top: -2cm;">Purchasing Report for RB Kitchen</h2>
If you insist on using the <label> tags, you could adjust the line height to a value of "1".
Why don't you play with line-height instead of using margins etc? This is a quite big value:
line-height: 2.1428571435;
Put sth smaller in there according to your needs.

very new to this and have tried several fixes without success.
Inside h1, my fonts are all correct and reacting as expected:
h1 {
position:relative;
left: -10px;
top: -16px;
padding: 2em;
height: 3em;
width: 100%;
background: #545454;
font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif;
font-size: .7em;
text-align: center;
color: darkgray}
h1 p {
font-weight: 30;
word-spacing: 30px;}
But the text isn't responding anywhere else on my page, even when inserted under body, body p, into each individual element... It's driving me nuts!
body {
margin: 0, 0;
padding: 0, 0;
overflow-x: hidden;
background: #765264;
color: white;
font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 1.5;
}
body p {
font-size: 1em;
font-family: "Century Gothic";
font-weight: 30;
letter-spacing: 1px;
}
Weirdly, inserting letter-spacing above seemed to make the spacing larger.
Here's my HTML, for reference:
<head>
<div class="header" id="myHeader">
<h1>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="peytonsite.css">

Please help!
Update:
30 isn't a valid font-weight, and, your font may not necessarily have a boldness available to it.
Try: font-weight: bold;
or: font-weight: 300; (300 is usually non-bold)
A few other ideas:
You probably want a comma between h1 p { in your second CSS block.
Secondly- Is your target text within a <p> block?
For debugging purposes, what happens if you append !important to your styles? Does that show what you want?
What happens if you delete the h1 p { ... block, and add this in at the bottom of your CSS?
p {
font-weight: 300!important;
word-spacing: 30px!important;}
If nothing changes, I suspect you don't have the right CSS selectors.
Here is a CodePen of your CSS correctly applying
Not coded since I was about 16 (I'm now 30) and I'm just beginning right from scratch really. I used to use Dreamweaver and just edit bits of code but now I want to start getting serious about it.
Anyway I'm just practising with this site: http://scott.ewarena.com/blog
The sticky navigation at the top is the problem. I've got float left & float right on the go, but as you can see they're not lining up.
CSS file is:http://scott.ewarena.com/blog/wp-content/themes/bootstrapstarter/style.css
Can anyone help?
(And if anyone can clean up the absolute MESS I've made of that CSS file, I wouldn't mind lol)
.NavAlignLeft {
font-family: 'Vollkorn', serif;
font-style: oblique;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 16px;
color: #fff;
float: left;
}
.NavAlignLeft:hover {
font-family: 'Vollkorn', serif;
text-decoration: none;
}
.NavAlignRight {
font-family: 'Vollkorn', serif;
font-style: none;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 16px;
color: #fff;
float: right;
}
.NavAlignLeft,
.NavAlignRight {
width: 50%;
display: inline-block;
}
<div class="blog-masthead">
<div class="NavAlignLeft">
Site Name
</div>
<div id="navContainer">
<div class="NavAlignRight ">
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location'=>'header-menu', 'menu_class' => 'blog-nav list-inline' ) ); ?>
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
</div>
Thanks,
Scott
I managed to resolve this after removing some code from my CSS file and then just adding some padding-top: 10px; to the div CSS code.
Thanks anyway!
I want to use in my css different titles/headers, with the same font but with different font size, etc. I have this:
#titulo1{
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-size: 40px;
font-height:50px;
color: #ffffff;
}
#titulo2{
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-size: 30px;
font-height: 40px;
color: #73bd34;
}
#titulo3{
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
font-height: 30px;
color: #5f9b16;
}
#titulo4{
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
font-height: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;
}
Now I want to use some titles to some divs and others to anothers.
Like this:
.slogan #titulo1{
...
}
.pesquisa #titulo3{
...
}
But it doesn't work, I can only make it work by using it in my html file like this:
<div class="slogan" id="titulo1">
Yeah, I had already visited this page:http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp and still nothing
You can use selector that select all elements that id starts with "titulo"
[id^="titulo"] {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
}
#titulo1{
font-size: 40px;
font-height:50px;
color: #ffffff;
}
#titulo2{
font-size: 30px;
font-height: 40px;
color: #73bd34;
}
#titulo3{
font-size: 20px;
font-height: 30px;
color: #5f9b16;
}
#titulo4{
font-size: 13px;
font-height: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000000;
}
Definition .slogan #titulo1 has no sense, because id is unique identifier, so #titulo1 means the same.
anyway selector of particular element with several classes, e.g. <div class="class1 class2"> will look .class1.class2 (without space between class names) or div.class1.class2
Its the space in the css, that makes it difficult . Lets see :
Notice this:
.slogan #titulo1{
color:red;
}
This will work for follwoing html structure
<div class="slogan">
<div id="titulo1">
</div>
</div>
Now Notice this:
.slogan#titulo1{
color:red;
}
This will work for follwoing html structure
<div class="slogan" id="titulo1">
</div>
Did you notice the space in the css, if you put an space that mean they are in different element
Use The following. Hope your problem will be solved :)
<div class="slogan">
<div id="titulo1">
--------
--------
</div>
</div>
I am attempting to make my site responsive, I give my heading text 15px of padding however if the text stretches onto a new line the next line doesn't get the correct padding on the left side. Is it possible to make the text align?
Here is a screenshot of the text.
Here is the CSS i'm using.
.article_title {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
line-height: 10px;
color: #666;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 15px;
}
and my html element is
<span class="article_title">Building Refurbishment and Modernisation</span>
span is an inline element, which means the left padding is not applied to it.
Just add the display: block; to the CSS code and it should work fine.
.article_title {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
line-height: 10px;
color: #666;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 15px;
display:block
}
The display:block should do the trick. Notice I have also changed the line-height to 15.
you can just add display:table; and remove line-height for responsive layout.
.article_title {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
color: #666;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 15px;
display: table;
}

Just change the span to div. Using a span while forcing it to be a block element is counter-intuitive.
New to HTML and CSS and trying to replicate sites to get some practice. I'm having some trouble replicating a section on the airbnb website where it lists the explore, contact and book. For some reason, I float the image to the left and my h3 and p tags should not overlap the image. I've made sure to display the image as a block, but the h3 and p tags overlap and my margins won't work. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.a
Thanks
Here's the css
.feat-box {
background-color: red;
float: left;
margin-top: 20px;
width: 282px;
}
.feat-box h3 {
font-size: 22px;
font-family: Shift, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: rgb(57, 60, 61);
margin-left: 10px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
.feat-box p {
font-size: 17px;
font-family: Shift, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: rgb(57, 60, 61);
margin-left: 10px;
}
.feat-box img {
float: left;
display: block;
}
.feat-box-container {
margin: auto;
width: 900px;
}
Here's my html
<div class="feat-box-container">
<div class="feat-box">
<img src="http://www.somanyfoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/contacts.png"/>
<h3>Explore</h3>
<p>Find the perfect place.</p>
</div>
<div class="feat-box">
<img src="http://www.somanyfoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/contacts.png"/>
<h3>Contacts</h3>
<p>Message hosts.</p>
</div>
<div class="feat-box">
<img src="http://www.somanyfoods.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/check-mark.png"/>
<h3>Book</h3>
<p>View your itinerary.</p>
</div>
</div>
Try adding
display:inline
to your
.feat-box p
you might have to play around a little with the margins to get the text to align, but it fixed it for me.
If your learning CSS I'd advice installing firebug, it's an add-on that will help you better understand how CSS works.
