HTML & CSS question: For this assignment we are not supposed to use floats, but instead only use block, inline-block, and inline. Even though I have set the side-bar div to inline block, and the main-content div to inline-block, and the width less then the wrapper width, It is not aligning left and right. Can anyone please help me understand what I need to fix.
I know this is a lot of code to put in here, but I am not sure what I need to put in, and what I don't. I looked around and tried to find an answer but if this question has already been asked and solved please reference me. Thanks.
Google drive of the html and css (sorry to have to send the whole file, I was not sure what it was so I decided to attach the whole html and css file.)

<h1>PPC - Achieve More Efficiant Pay-Per CLick (PPC) Marketing</h1>
<p><span class="bold">PPC</span>(pay-per click) search marketing software offers a means for accomplishing two core requirements for PPC optimization:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<span class="bold">PPC Automation</span>-While it would be impossible (and inadvisable!) to automate every aspect of pay-per-click advertising, automating away redundant, time-consuming tasks affords you a means of increasing productivity. Often, this means being able to produce an amount of work that would otherwise have been unachievable for you and your business.
</li>
<li>
<span class="bold">PPC Management</span>-PPC management refers to the maintenance and prioritizing of paid seach marketing tasks. Being able to oversee various aspects of your account while assigning each item on a seemingly endless to-do list an appropriate value can make or break an online ad campaign.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
WordStream's PPC software is specifically designed to aid in these two PPC search engine marketing areas. This page will show you both the processes the software is automating for you, and the best course of action to take where workflow is concerned.

I was hoping for some help with a problem involving some divs.
I am doing a Udemy course to recreate the BBC website and I've got to a point where I have some divs with content but there is a gap between them.

I've tried playing around with various things (changing display, floating, trying to clear previous divs...) but I can't seem to figure out the problem. I was hoping for some advice about what I am doing wrong.
I read somewhere that whitespace between divs can sometimes be an issue. Could this be the problem?
(strangely, when I created the code snippet above, the gap was not showing in the results window but when I try it in Chrome, IE or Firefox, the problem occurs)
Many thanks in advance
thanks for the advice on my problem.
As mentioned in my last comment, it was the height of the div which was creating the gap (it wasn't tall enough). I think this was due to another element's padding pushing the lower div down, so when I increased the height it brought everything into alignment.
I'm still learning a lot about web development and I am grateful for the responses. I'm sure I'll be learning a lot more along the way. Many thanks!

I'm currently building a website and and I can't find a CSS positioning method that works, meaning any CSS positioning element that doesn't make other HTML elements behave weirdly. Is there any CSS positioning methods that would position an HTML element precisely, accurately and not cause (many) issues with other elements? So far float and position: absolute; don't work well. Thanks!
Since apparently what I'm asking is unclear, I'm asking "What kind of positioning can I use that doesn't have any (or few) side effects?"
Here's the Code I'm working on:

Each positioning method has a purpose and well-defined, if sometimes not intuitive, behavior. You cannot pick one that "won't mess things up". There's no shortcut like "always use relative", because each method accomplishes something different that cannot be accomplished by the other methods.
I happen to think positioning in CSS is abysmally defined, but it's what we have to work with and the only thing you can do is learn what each one does and how they interact. There WILL be some things you cannot accomplish1, and until CSS layout matures that will continue to be the case.
The only advice I can give you is to budget some time, say 8-16 hours over the next few weeks, to play with basic layouts and experiment with all the positioning methods. Use Firefox or Chrome's developer tools to examine in detail how things are laid out, and make specific changes one at a time until you start to develop a feel for how the options interact with each other. This is a highly complex mess and it will take some time to learn it. But once you do you will have a skillset that will serve you well.
1 As I recently learned to my great disappointment. I did find some workarounds gross hacks that involved duplicating content but that way lies madness. I hope the new flex positioning stuff gets worked out with some sanity but I'm not holding my breath.
Remove this from your HTML :
<div id="searchbox_div">
</div>
but obviously keep the form inside it, it dosent need to be contained in a div since its already inside the nav element.
Here is working Fiddle
So I will apologize in advance if this question has already been asked, but I will mention it anyway. Basically there is a problem with an HTML document that I have been working on. I set a rule for the links in the span tags for every different link, because I want them to have different text-decoration properties, and it doesn't seem to apply them. Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> MSCC Software </title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="mscccss.css">
</head>
<body> <!-- I will do an early apology if there is any bad code -->
<div id="header">
<p id="topline"> MSCC Software </p>
<p id="bottomline"> www.mscc.com </p>
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
<span id="google"> Google </span>
<span id="example"> Example </span>
<span id="debt"> Debt </span>
</div>
<div id="content">
<p> Happy Holidays </p>
<img src="http://res.freestockphotos.biz/pictures/12/12626-illustration-of-a-decorated-christmas-tree-pv.png" />
<p> From MSCC! </p>
</div>
<p id="credit"> Created By PharellPharell </p>
</body>
</html>
Now my CSS:
body{
height: 970px;
background-color: rgba:(223,223,223,80%);
font-family: Verdana;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-right: 3%;
margin-left: 3%;
}
#header{
height: 12%;
border: solid red;
background-color: rgb(127,0,0);
border-radius: 25px;
text-align: center;
color: #FFFA7C;
margin-bottom: 15px;
}
#topline{
font-size: 30px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
#bottomline{
font-size: 20px;
}
#sidebar{
height: 75%;
width: 15%;
border: solid red;
border-radius: 25px;
background-color: rgb(127,0,0);
text-align: center;
padding-right: 25px;
display: inline-block;
float: left;
}
#google{
font-size: 25px;
color: #EC00BC;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
#example{
font-size: 25px;
color: #EC00BC;
text-decoration: overline;
display: block;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}
#debt{
font-size: 25px;
color: rgb(7,239,20);
text-decoration: none;
}
#content{
height: 75%;
width: 77%;
background-color: rgba(0,119,31,0.9);
border: solid rgb(127,0,0);
border-radius: 25px;
color: rgb(127,0,0);
font-size: 72px;
text-align: center;
float: right;
}
img{
height: 300px;
}
#credit{
font-size: 40px;
color: rgb(127,0,0);
font-family: Arial;
padding-left: 550px;
}
So yeah, that is basically it. I can't figure out what to do about it, and if I'm making a stupid mistake, I apologize. Help would be appreciated for this,
Thanks so much!
BTW. Fun fact- PharellPharell is my GitHub username, you can find me on there if you want to look me up.
I think you should be targeting the a tags instead of just the span they are wrapped in. For example:
#google a{
text-decoration:none;
}
Another approach is to remove the text-decoration from all the links on the site, which will allow the more specific rules to take precedence.
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
I want to place the two boxes at the bottom of link, the both article-boxes (div.content), side by side like you see, but without the big distance between them. How to fix this?
Here is relevant code :
div.content {
text-align: justify;
color: #939393;
padding: 25px 90px;
margin: 0px auto 45px;
width: 960px;
border: 2px solid #F27F0E;
}
<div class="content-small" style="float: left;">
<h2></h2>
<ol class="posts"></ol>
</div>
<div class="content-small" style="float: right;">
<h2></h2>
<ol class="posts"></ol>
</div>
Using inline styles (putting the style tag inside of the element) is never a good thing, it's best practice to keep everything in a separate stylesheet and a lot more practical too.
In regards to your question you pretty much have the code already in your stylesheet, just remove the inline styles and put the both divs inside of a parent div.
HTML:
<div class="content-bottom">
<div class="content-small"></div>
<div class="content-small"></div>
</div>
Now we just need to add a little css to center everything with your current layout.
CSS:
.content-bottom {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1144px;
}
You're probably going to want to adjust the widths and margins for the content-small classes now to your preference.
Hope this helps!
You need to apply float left to both boxes and set your margin-right to appropriate value.
delete style from this :
<div class="content-small" style="float: left;"></div>
<div class="content-small" style="float: right;"></div>
so that they become :
<div class="content-small"></div>
<div class="content-small"></div>
and then change your css like this:
div.content-small {
text-align: justify;
color: #939393;
padding: 25px 50px;
margin: 0px auto 45px;
width: 450px;
border: 2px solid #F27F0E;
float:left; /* add this */
margin-right:40px; /* add this and change value acc */
}
You can also try placing margin on each box separately to achieve your desired result
How about adding an enclosing div around the two article boxes like below. Setting its width to 1144px matches with the total width of the content boxes above.
<div style="width: 1144px; margin: 0 auto 0 auto">
<div class="content-small" style="float: left;">
...
</div>
<div class="content-small" style="float: right;">
...
</div>
</div>
create a wrapper for these 2 div
<div class="wrapper-new" style="margin:0 auto; width:...px;">
<div class="content-small" style="float: left;">...</div>
<div class="content-small" style="float: right;">...</div>
</div>
![enter image description here][1]
This is how you need to do it. The bottom two article boxes should be inside a div with fixed width 1144px and both content-small should be float:left, 2nd one with a margin-left:36px;
That's it! Run the code snippet in Full page and you can see your desired result.
NB: I've removed jQuery from the snippet. If you find my answer useful please mark it as accepted. Thanks! :)

On my site, matprichardson.co.uk, when you click the 'help' button in the dialog in the center of the screen, another dialog pops up containing some content.
For some reason, when this happens, the first two lines of the first paragraph element are strangely indented, as well as the header, which is normally centered.
I've looked at my markup and css a number of times now and I'm really struggling to see why this is happening. Could somebody please point me in the right direction?

It's because the position property for your blog, websites,and pics divs is set to relative and therefore it's taking up space. Change it so that they're set to absolute, and the text on your help dialog goes back to normal.
You could add something like:
#blog, #pictures, #websites {
position:absolute;
}
#blog {
left:20px;
}
#pictures {
left:80px;
}
#websites {
left:140px;
}
jsFiddle example
As I noted in my comment:
This is because the dialog is positioned relatively and it is still in
document normal flow. Therefore the content wraps the floated icons
which are at the left-top of the page.
Positioning the dialog box absolutely will fix the problem.
Alternatively, you can add clear: both declaration to the dialog element in order for clearing the floats. Thus the content of relative positioned dialog won't wrap the floated icons anymore.
