As i was reading all over the internet span element is inline element and does not accept vertical padding and i was like let me try it and let see. So i opened the editor and try to add vertical padding and somehow it worked.
Here is my HTML and CSS code:
span {
background-color:blue;
padding-left:5rem;
padding-bottom:5rem;
padding-top:4rem;
}
<span>
asdfasdfsadfl
</span>
I will also add the ss of it:
Could you please explain me what am I missing here?
Main purpose of using inline element is to have parts arranged in a line and not as a separate section.Even if you include padding in span tag it won't push the text
to create padding but will expand itself in outward direction without disturbing the text flow.Below is the code to prove the same
span{
background-color:blue;
padding-top: 100px;
padding-bottom:100px;
margin-top: 50px;
border: 2px solid black;
}
<p id="p" style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid black;">block-block<span id="n"> -INLINE- </span>block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-blockblock-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block-block</p>
I am trying to create links for following on Facebook, twitter etc. using a sprite image. There is a plain text following links made up of these sprite images set as background. I am having problem aligning the text, the span and the 'a' links vertically.
Here is the css
.sprite a {
border:solid 1px blue;
width:20px;
height:20px;
display:inline-block;
color:#00f;
background:url('images/sprite.png') 0 0;
}
span {
border: solid 1px red;
}
Here is the HTML
<div class="sprite">
Follow us on: <span id="spriteFacebook"></span>
</div>
I am using borders just to identify the misalignment
This is how the result looks like
Shouldn't these be aligned by default? Should I use floating divs to achieve this?
Try that:
- wrap a span around your text: <span class="text">Follow us on:</span>
- float it left and give it a line height: span.text { float: left; line-height: 33px; }

This should be interesting. Here's what I'm trying to do with CSS:
The words "An Example Alignment" should be in a single <h1> element.
The word "Alignment" should be on the second line (easy with a <br /> tag).
The word "An" should be smaller than the other words (easy with a <span> tag).
So we have:
<h1><span>An</span> Example <br />Alignment</h1>
But here's the catch:
I would also like to align the first letters of the 2nd and 3rd words with each other vertically, and that's where I run into problems.
Here's what it should look like: http://jsfiddle.net/Baumr/H2Pzr/
But that's an ugly solution as there are two <h1> elements.
Any ideas of how to do this with CSS by keeping the HTML the same? Very curious to hear. Thank you in advance.
P.S. I could also put "An" into a separate <span>, but I would prefer to keep everything in a single <h1>.)
I'd do the padding by using two display:inline-block spans, to make sure the right margin is always exactly the same (font width varies, depending on the in-use font face).
<h1>
<span class="padding">An</span> Example <br>
<span class="padding"></span> Alignment
</h1>
CSS:
h1 {
font-size: 30px;
}
.padding {
font-size: 20px;
width: 30px;
display:inline-block;
}
Just beware that IE doesn't always use inline-block the right way (although in this case it should).
Update
An even better solution: http://jsfiddle.net/H2Pzr/9/
Use the table-cell display of elements to automatically put them in two columns:
HTML:
<h1>
<span class="first">An</span>
<div class="second">
Example <br>
Alignment
</div>
</h1>
CSS:
h1 {
font-size: 30px;
}
.first {
display:table-cell;
font-size: 20px;
color: #444;
}
.second {
display:table-cell;
}
I would use two span classes in the same H1 tag:
<h1>
<span class="small-text">An</span> Example
<span class="line-two">Alignment</span>
</h1>
Then update your CSS accordingly:
h1 {
font-size: 30px;
}
span.small-text {
font-size: 20px;
}
.line-two{
display:block;
margin-left: 31px;
}
You don't even need the <br /> since you can just display the second span as display:block;
Updated fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/H2Pzr/6/
use two span with different class see jsfiddle
<h1><span class="first">An</span> Example <br>
<span class="second">Alignment</span>
</h1>
Try this: (minimal elements!)
<h1>Example <br>Alignment</h1>
h1 {
font-size: 30px;
margin-left: 31px;
}
h1:before
{
content: 'An ';
font-size: 20px;
margin-left: -31px;
}
I'd like to have a line that starts right after my text on the same line, I've tried with the following simple code
<html><body>My Text<hr/></body></html>
It seems that <hr> is not an option because it is always on a new line and I'd like the line to start at the right of my text.
Any help ?
The <hr> has default styling that puts it on a new line. However that default styling can be over-ridden, in the same way as it can for any other element. <hr> is in essence nothing more than an empty <div> with a default border setting.
To demonstrate this, try the following:
<div>Blah blah<hr style='display:inline-block; width:100px;' />dfgdfg</div>
There are a number of ways to override the styling of <hr> to acheive your aim.
You could try using display:inline-block; along with a width setting, as I have above. The down-side of this approach is that it requires you to know the width you want, though there are ways around this - width:100%;, and the whole line in a container <div> that has overflow:hidden; might do the trick, for example:
<div style='overflow:hidden; white-space:nowrap;'>Blah blah<hr style='display:inline-block; width:100%;' /></div>
Another option would be to use float:left;. You'd need to apply this to all the elements in the line, and I dislike this option as I find that float tends to cause more problems than it solves. But try it and see if it works for you.
There are various other combinations of styles you can try - give it a go and see what works.
Using FlexBox Property this can be achieved easily.
.mytextdiv{
display:flex;
flex-direction:row;
align-items: center;
}
.mytexttitle{
flex-grow:0;
}
.divider{
flex-grow:1;
height: 1px;
background-color: #9f9f9f;
}
<div class="mytextdiv">
<div class="mytexttitle">
My Text
</div>
<div class="divider"></div>
</div>
Try this:
<html><body>My Text<hr style="float: right; width: 80%"/></body></html>
The inline CSS float: right will keep it on the same line as the text.
You'll need to adjust the width if you want it to fill the rest of the line.
Using inline or float, as far as I tested it doesn't work properly even if this was my first thought. Looking further I used the following css
hr {
bottom: 17px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
div {
background:white;
position: relative;
width: 100px;
z-index: 10;
}
html
<div>My Text</div><hr/>
Demo http://jsfiddle.net/mFEWk/
What I did, is to add position relative in both elements (to give me the advantage of z-index use). Also from the moment I had position:relative for hr I moved it from the bottom:17px. This move it above the div that contains the text. Applying z-index values and adding background:white for the div puts the text above the the line. Of course don't forget to use a width for the text, otherwise will take the whole width of the parent element.
<div style="float: left">Some text</div>
<hr style="clear: none; position: relative; top: 0.5em;">
Exactly what you want.
Try this. It works
<p style="float:left;">
Hello Text
<hr style="float:left; width: 80%"/>
</p>
You can also use this to draw a line between texts like
Hello -------------------------- Hello
The OP never specified the purpose of the line, but I wanted to share what I ended up doing when I was making an html template where the user needed a line to write on after the document was printed.
Because the hr tag defaults to its own line and defaults to being centered in the line, I decided to use a div and style it instead.
HTML
This is my text.<div class='fillLine'></div>
CSS
.fillLine {
display:inline-block;
width: 200px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}

Style Div for Line After Text
Hope that helps anyone who had the same goal as me.
hr {
width: {so it fits on the same line as the p tag};
}
p {
float: left;
width: {enough to accomodate the hr};
}
That sort of make sense?
<p>My text</p>
<hr />
Here's one potential approach, but it has some assumptions/requirements. Your question should be edited to give more specific information about what you're building.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Blah</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color : white;
font-family : Arial;
font-size : 16px;
}
.wrap {
background: transparent url(px.png) repeat-x 0px 85%;
/* Different fonts or text sizes may require tweaking of that offset.
px.png is a one-pixel(though can be thicker if needed) image in whatever color you want the line */
}
.inner {
background-color : white;
/* Should match the background of whatever it's sitting over.
Obviously this requires a solid background. */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrap"><span class="inner">Here is some text</span></div>
</body>
</html>
I used the following technique:
Give the container div a background-image with a horizontal line.
Put an element (like <h3>) in the container div (I have it on the right so float: right; )
Use the following css:
.line-container {
width: 550px;
height: 40px;
margin-top: 10px;
background-image: url("/images/horizontal_line.png");
}
.line-container h3 {
padding-left: 10px;
float: right;
background-color: white;
}
Below code did the job for me
HTML File:
----------
<p class="section-header">Details</p><hr>
CSS File:
----------
.section-header{
float: left;
font-weight: bold
}
hr{
float: left;
width: 80%;
}
INLINE:
-------
<p style="float: left;font-weight: bold">Details</p><hr style="float: left;width: 80%;">
How do you make a vertical line using HTML?
Put a <div> around the markup where you want the line to appear to next, and use CSS to style it:
.verticalLine {
border-left: thick solid #ff0000;
}
<div class="verticalLine">
some other content
</div>
You can use the horizontal rule tag to create vertical lines.
<hr width="1" size="500" style="0 auto" />
By using minimal width and large size, horizontal rule becomes a vertical one.
You can use an empty <div> that is styled exactly like you want the line to appear:
HTML:
<div class="vertical-line"></div>
With exact height (overriding style in-line):
div.vertical-line{
width: 1px; /* Line width */
background-color: black; /* Line color */
height: 100%; /* Override in-line if you want specific height. */
float: left; /* Causes the line to float to left of content.
You can instead use position:absolute or display:inline-block
if this fits better with your design */
}
<div class="vertical-line" style="height: 45px;"></div>
Style the border if you want 3D look:
div.vertical-line{
width: 0px; /* Use only border style */
height: 100%;
float: left;
border: 1px inset; /* This is default border style for <hr> tag */
}
<div class="vertical-line" style="height: 45px;"></div>
You can of course also experiment with advanced combinations:
div.vertical-line{
width: 1px;
background-color: silver;
height: 100%;
float: left;
border: 2px ridge silver ;
border-radius: 2px;
}
<div class="vertical-line" style="height: 45px;"></div>
You can also make a vertical line using HTML horizontal line <hr />
html, body{height: 100%;}
hr.vertical {
width: 0px;
height: 100%;
/* or height in PX */
}
<hr class="vertical" />
There is no vertical equivalent to the <hr> element. However, one approach you may want to try is to use a simple border to the left or right of whatever you are separating:
#your_col {
border-left: 1px solid black;
}
<div id="your_col">
Your content here
</div>
HTML5 custom elements (or pure CSS)
1. javascript
Register your element.
var vr = document.registerElement('v-r'); // vertical rule please, yes!
*The - is mandatory in all custom elements.
2. css
v-r {
height: 100%;
width: 1px;
border-left: 1px solid gray;
/*display: inline-block;*/
/*margin: 0 auto;*/
}
*You might need to fiddle a bit with display:inline-block|inline because inline won't expand to containing element's height. Use the margin to center the line within a container.
3. instantiate
js: document.body.appendChild(new vr());
or
HTML: <v-r></v-r>
*Unfortunately you can't create custom self-closing tags.
usage
<h1>THIS<v-r></v-r>WORKS</h1>
example: http://html5.qry.me/vertical-rule
Don't want to mess with javascript?
Simply apply this CSS class to your designated element.
css
.vr {
height: 100%;
width: 1px;
border-left: 1px solid gray;
/*display: inline-block;*/
/*margin: 0 auto;*/
}
*See notes above.
One other option is to use a 1-pixel image, and set the height - this option would allow you to float it to where you need to be.
Not the most elegant solution though.
You can draw a vertical line by simply using height / width with any html element.
#verticle-line {
width: 1px;
min-height: 400px;
background: red;
}
<div id="verticle-line"></div>
There is a <hr> tag for horizontal line. It can be used with CSS to make horizontal line also:
.divider{
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;
height: 100px;
width: 1px;
background-color: red;
}
<hr class="divider">
The width property determines the thickness of the line. The height property determines the length of the line. The background-color property determines the color of the line.
There isn't any tag to create a vertical line in HTML.
Method: You load a line image. Then you set its style like "height: 100px ; width: 2px"
Method: You can use <td> tags <td style="border-left: 1px solid red; padding: 5px;"> X </td>
To create a vertical line centered inside a div I think you can use this code.
The 'container' may well be 100% width, I guess.
div.container {
width: 400px;
}
div.vertical-line {
border-left: 1px solid #808080;
height: 350px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 1px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="vertical-line"> </div>
</div>
Rotate a <hr> 90 degrees:
<hr style="width:100px; transform:rotate(90deg);">
You can use hr (horizontal line) tag and than rotate it 90 degree with css below
hr {
transform:rotate(90deg);
-o-transform:rotate(90deg);
-moz-transform:rotate(90deg);
-webkit-transform:rotate(90deg);
}

One more approach is possible : Using SVG.
eg :
<svg height="210" width="500">
<line x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="100" style="stroke:rgb(255,0,0);stroke-width:2" />
Sorry, your browser does not support inline SVG.
</svg>
Pros :
You can have line of any length and orientation.
You can specify the width, color easily
Cons :
SVG are now supported on most modern browsers. But some old browsers (like IE 8 and older) don't support it.
I used a combination of the "hr" code suggested, and here's what my code looks like:
<hr style="width:0.5px; height:500px; position: absolute; left: 315px;"/>
I simply changed the value of the "left" pixel value to position it. (I used the vertical line to line-up content on my webpage, and then I removed it.)
Vertical line right to the div
<div style="width:50%">
<div style="border-right:1px solid;">
<ul>
<li>
Empty div didn't shows line
</li>
<li>
Vertical line length depends on the content in the div
</li>
<li>
Here I am using inline style. You can replace it by external style or internal style.
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Vertical line left to the div
<div style="width:50%">
<div style="border-left:1px solid;">
<ul>
<li>
Empty div didn't shows line
</li>
<li>
Vertical line length depends on the content in the div
</li>
<li>
Here I am using inline style. You can replace it by external style or internal style.
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Why not use |, which is the html special character for |
If your goal is to put vertical lines in a container to separate side-by-side child elements (column elements), you could consider styling the container like this:
.container > *:not(:first-child) {
border-left: solid gray 2px;
}
This adds a left border to all child elements starting from the 2nd child. In other words, you get vertical borders between adjacent children.
> is a child selector. It matches any child of the element(s) specified on the left.
* is a universal selector. It matches an element of any type.
:not(:first-child) means it's not the first child of its parent.
Browser support: > * :first-child and :not()
I think this is better than a simple .child-except-first {border-left: ...} rule, because it makes more sense to have the vertical lines come from the container's rules, not the different child elements' rules.
Whether this is better than using a makeshift vertical rule element (by styling a horizontal rule, etc.) will depend on your use case, but this is an alternative at least.
To add a vertical line you need to style an hr.
Now when you make a vertical line it will appear in the middle of the page:
<hr style="width:0.5px;height:500px;"/>
Now to put it where you want you can use this code:
<hr style="width:0.5px;height:500px;margin-left:-500px;margin-right:500px;"/>
This will position it to the left, you can inverse it to position it to the right.
In the Previous element after which you want to apply the vertical row , You can set CSS ...
border-right-width: thin;
border-right-color: black;
border-right-style: solid;
Simply use either of the UTF-8 Miscellaneous Symbols
|

That's all you need and its compatible with all browsers.
Thanks me later.
For an inline style I used this code:
<div style="border-left:1px black solid; position:absolute; left:50%; height:300px;" />
and that positioned it directly in the center.
I needed an inline vertical line, so I tricked a button into becoming a line.
<button type="button" class="v_line">l</button>
.v_line {
width: 0px;
padding: .5em .5px;
background-color: black;
margin: 0px; 4px;
}
I think it is a simple way not do to anything more You can change border left or right according to your need
.vertical-line{
border-left:1px solid #000
}
<span class="vertical-line"></span
You can also use the HTML symbol | which renders as '|'
To make the vertical line to center in the middle use:
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
