I'm learning CSS (having a lot of fun with it!) and was wondering if anyone had an alternative solution for this.
I want to have a dynamic title for a site that has a ribbon behind it. So no matter the length of the title text, the ribbon behind it will "resize". My solution is to have a background container for the text that overlays on top of the ribbon. As the text container resizes, it will look like the ribbon behind it grows/shrinks because of the white background.
Below is the code of my solution for a dynamic title with ribbon behind it.
HTML
<div class="body">
<div class="title_rule_wrap">
<div class="title_rule">
<h1>This is a title</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.title_rule_wrap {
text-align: center;
width: 600px;
height: 0;
margin: 30px 0 20px;
border-bottom: 7px solid green;
}
.title_rule {
background-color: #fff;
top: -2.2em;
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 10px;
}
.body {
width: 600px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Would my solution above be possible using only a single h1 tag and psuedo elements? Here is what I have so far for an alternative solution.
Thanks in advance for your help. Cheers.
CSS:
h1 {
text-align: center;
background-color: #fff;
margin:0 0 0 0;
padding:0;
}
h1:before {
content: "";
position:relative;
top:-3px;
display: block;
border: 3px solid green;
}
h1:after {
content: "";
position:relative;
top:5px;
display: block;
border: 3px solid green;
}
This puts a green border before and after the h1, and it resizes based on the browser width and height as its position is set as relative.
Although I don't really think this is a good solution (I think what you already have may be better - the widths for the :before and :after is the tricky part), this is the only way I could achieve what you are asking.
The good side is it is responsive!
h1 {
display:flex;
align-items:center;
justify-content:center;
}
h1:after, h1:before {
content: "";
background:green;
width:33%;
height:6px;
margin:0 10px;
}
CodePen
Here is another variation using display:inline-block; instead of flex
h1 {
width:100%;
display:inline-block;
}
h1:after, h1:before {
content: "";
background:green;
width:33%;
height:6px;
margin:0 10px;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:middle;
}

I'm trying to insert a text with the upper side of a box using CSS, but I can't come up with anything to make it happen. this is my code so far:
.boxed{
border: 1px solid grey;
width: 300px;
height: 180px;
}
and this is what I want to do:
how do i insert a text in the upper border of a box?
*im already done with this thanks guys. but my problem now is putting pagination on tabs. can u help me? the rest of the code is in here:
http://jsfiddle.net/3y539gvq/
Set your box to relative positioning and position the label using absolute positioning. Also, I'd recommend setting the background of your container, and inheriting the background in the label CSS to keep the two consistent.
.boxed {
position: relative;
background: white;
border: 1px solid grey;
width: 300px;
height: 180px;
}
.label {
background: inherit;
padding: 0 5px;
position: absolute;
left: 5px;
top: -10px;
}
<div class="boxed">
<span class="label">General Information</span>
</div>
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/b7a29fsd/1/
You can use:
.boxed {
... your existing styles ...
position:relative;
}
.boxed:after {
position:absolute;
top:-5px;
left:15px;
padding:3px;
content: "your label text";
background-color: (something to cover up the border underneath)
}
You can put a text within the div you have like so:
<div>
<p> Some text </p>
</div>
CSS:
.boxed{
border: 1px solid grey;
width: 300px;
height: 180px;
position:absolute;
}
.boxed p{
position:relative;
top:-28px;
left:5px;
z-index:1;
background-color:white;
width:80px;
}
}
Example here.
I was asked to code an unusual shape background on some centered text.
The text should be centered and have it's background extend to the right edge of the content-box.
How can I do this with CSS?
http://jsfiddle.net/7U688/
The text centering is cake.
The tricky bit is extending the background off into one direction.
This is one way of accomplishing this:
#outer{
border:2px solid black;
background-color:red;
overflow:hidden;
}
#inner{
margin:40px;
text-align:center;
}
p{
display:inline-block;
color:white;
background-color:black; // or an image
margin:0 -999em 0 5px;
padding: 5px 999em 5px 5px;
line-height:1;
}
In this case - I use a huge padding and an equally huge negative margin to keep an element in flow, but visually extend outside of its borders. A benefit of this technique is that it allows the dev to keep an element in normal static or relative position.
Finally, use overflow:hidden in a parent element to prevent unwanted bleed.
Using :after, you may do something like THIS.
This allows the text to be centered normally without using margin and padding hacks.
p {
display: table;
background: black;
margin: auto;
color: white;
position: relative;
font-size: 1em;
}
p:after {
content: '';
background: black;
width: 150px;
line-height: 1em;
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
}
Is this what you want? Fiddle

Can you please help me?
This fiddle kinda works:
http://jsfiddle.net/Qu849/4/
Anyway I wouldn't do that code for this purpose. Consider this:
Just use a div with a background image (repeat-x) with those "borders"
Inside that div use a span, centered, and with a background:#fff;
That is just better.
EDIT
Check #drip answer to do what I described: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20070686/2600397
You need to position you h2 above your bordered div. My idea would be to make h2 display:inline-block; so you can use text-align:center; on the parent to center the child h2 and then just use position:relative; and top:-20px; on the h2 to move it up a bit
.content_item{
border-top: 2px solid #c2c1c1;
border-bottom: 2px solid #a5a4a4;
width:100%;
height:5px;
position:relative;
text-align:center;
margin-top:50px;
}
.content_item > h2{
text-align: center;
background-color: white;
padding:3px 15px;
font-size:14px;
display:inline-block;
position:relative;
top:-20px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Qu849/8/
Since the double_line div is absolutely positioned, it will be above any none positioned elements.
to put both elements on a relative plane, you need to position the h2 in the same manner (either absolute, or relative).
After that you can play with the margins or top/left properties of the elements to position them over each other.
You can do it with a backgruund image very easy.
If you are ok with using background images.
HTML:
<h2><span>Ce facem</span></h2>
CSS:
h2 {
background: url(http://i.imgur.com/7LGlQ0I.png) repeat-x 0 center;
text-align: center;
}
h2 span { padding: 0 20px; background-color: #fff; }
Demo
Or if you really prefer usin bordered element:
Then with a little tweaks in the css:
.content_item>div{
border-top: 2px solid #c2c1c1;
border-bottom: 2px solid #a5a4a4;
width:100%;
height:5px;
position: absolute;
top: 12px;
}
.content_item>h2{
display: inline;
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
text-align: center;
padding: 0 10px;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
.content_item{
text-align: center;
position:relative;
}
Demo
Yes, Rodik is right
Try using:
.content_item>h2 {
text-align: center;
display: block;
width: 200px;
background-color: #ffffff;
margin-top: -20px;
margin-left: 30%;}
You have to give position:absolute; and margin to your <h2>
Replace your <h2> style with this:
.content_item>h2{
text-align: center;
background-color: #ffffff;
position:absolute;
margin:-10px 41% 0px;
}
fiddle
if in doubt, you could just make the text an image with full transparent background, this makes it easier when it comes to responsive webpage layouts (different resolutions etc.)
Pure Css with No images
Ammend this in your CSS to check if it helps :
.content_item>h2{
text-align: center;
background-color: #ffffff;
display:inline-block; // makes header size equal to text width
width : 30%; //gives indented left-right white-space
position:absolute; //to overlay it on double-line
top : 0px; //position
display: table; //centre inline elements
margin : 0 auto;
margin-left : 40% //hack to center it
}
.content_item>div{
border-top: 2px solid #c2c1c1;
border-bottom: 2px solid #a5a4a4;
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
height: 5px;
position: relative;
}
.content_item>h2{
background-color: #FFFFFF;
width: 200px;
z-index: 12;
position: absolute;
top: -23px;
text-align: center;
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: 20px auto;
}
.content_item{
position:relative;
}
}
use this code usefull for you.
see this link http://jsfiddle.net/bipin_kumar/35T7S/1/
Here is one way of doing it:
.content_item {
position:relative;
}
.content_item > div {
border-top: 2px solid #c2c1c1;
border-bottom: 2px solid #a5a4a4;
XXdisplay:inline-block; /* not needed */
width:100%;
height:5px;
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -3px;
}
.content_item > h2 {
text-align: center;
background-color: #ffffff;
width: 200px; /* must be specified */
margin: 0 auto; /* for centering */
}
To the .double-line div, add z-index: -1 to force it to be painted under the h2 element.
Use top: 50% and a negative margin-top: -3px to vertically align the double lines (if that is what you need).
You then need to specified a width for h2 other wise it will be 100% wide and the white background will paint over the dobule-lines. Add margin: 0 auto to center the h2 within the parent container.
You do not need display: inline-block for the .double-line since the absolute positioning will force the display type to be block.
Demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/nB2a3/
You can do this without absolute positioning and without changing the HTML.
Rather than having the text-align: center on the <h2>, you can set it on the .content-item. Then use display: inline-block on the <h2> and relatively position it with a negative top value.
Like so:
.content_item>div {
border-top: 2px solid #c2c1c1;
border-bottom: 2px solid #a5a4a4;
width:100%;
height:5px;
}
.content_item>h2 {
background-color: #ffffff;
display: inline-block;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 40px;
position: relative;
top: -15px;
}
.content_item {
text-align: center;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Qu849/11/
Try this, another way
.content_item>div{
border-top: 2px solid #c2c1c1;
border-bottom: 2px solid #a5a4a4;
display:inline-block;
width:100%;
height:5px;
position: relative;
}
.content_item>h2{
text-align: center;
background-color: #ffffff;
position:absolute;
margin-top:-30px;
margin-left:50%;
}
When z-index not used this type of issue, use above format.

Yes it can.
No images, no tables, just two elements and simple CSS.
Here's a fiddle to demonstrate it: http://jsfiddle.net/URrdP/
HTML:
<div> <span>Text Here</span> </div>
CSS:
div {
font-size: 45px;
border: #EEEEEE inset 2px;
position: relative;
text-align:center;
height: 0px;
}
span {
position: relative;
top:-0.7em;
background: #CCCCCC;
}
The key points here are that the outer element has an inset border and zero height and the inner element is positioned half a line upward so it sits on top of the outer element's border.
The other key point is that the inner element has a solid background color, otherwise the border line would show through. This means the technique will only really work successfully when you are placing it on top of a solid background; putting it on top of a gradient or an image may not work so well.
I may not have got the colors or the font sizing perfect for you in my example, but the principle should work perfectly fine for you.
CSS border inset may not be the best way to get a perfect colour match for you; if you need more fine-grained control of the colours you can specify individual colours for border-top and border-bottom.
Here's how you could do something similar with no images.
HTML:
<h1><span>Text Here</span></h1>
CSS:
body, span { background: #ccc; }
h1 { text-align: center; border-bottom: 1px solid #333; font-size: 20px; height: 10px; }
JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/ChrisLTD/fvetd/
Without images version (I'd prefer the display:table version though)
CSS:
body
{background:silver;}
h1
{text-align:center;color:white;font-weight:normal;position:relative;
line-height:1;text-shadow:0 1px black;font-size:34px;font-family:georgia, serif}
h1::before, h1::after
{width:100%;border-bottom:1px white solid;content:' ';
position:absolute;top:50%;left:0;}
h1::after
{margin-top:-1px;border-color:gray}
h1 > span
{background:silver;position:relative;z-index:1;}
HTML:
<h1>
<span>
Text Here<br>
On Multiple Lines too
</span>
</h1>
Demo: http://jsbin.com/uqexar/1/edit
Since there was no HTML specification, I added in a couple of spans
<h1>
<span class="wrapper">
<span class="text">TEXT HERE</span>
<span class="line"></span>
</span>
</h1>
CSS:
h1 {
width:300px;
background:#dcdcdc;
padding:10px;
text-align:center;
color:#333;
}
.wrapper {
display:block;
position:relative;
}
.line {
display:block;
height:1px;
background:#cecece;
border-bottom:1px solid #e3e3e3;
width:100%;
position:absolute;
top:50%;
z-index:100;
}
.text {
z-index:200;
position:relative;
padding:10px;
background:#dcdcdc;
display:inline-block;
}
This means the line will look like you specified with two greys.
http://jsfiddle.net/3q5he/
This can be done with a single element:
http://jsfiddle.net/Puigcerber/vLwDf/
<h1>Heading</h1>
h1 {
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
}
h1:before,
h1:after {
background-color: #000;
content: "";
display: inline-block;
height: 1px;
position: relative;
vertical-align: middle;
width: 50%;
}
h1:before {
right: 0.5em;
margin-left: -50%;
}
h1:after {
left: 0.5em;
margin-right: -50%;
}

Here's an image showing what I'm trying to pull off.
So, a line to the left and right of any given text (typically would be some sort of of heading tag), that extends a certain distance on each side of the text (in this case, 65px).
I need something that is fluid in relation to the text itself...the overall width can't be fixed.
This solution is the one that's worked best for me in the past, you can se the example here. The code uses ::before and ::after pseudo classes to create the lines and then applies display:table to the text so the box adapts to it's content (I've used h2 for the example) This type of design is normally centered so I've added the margin: 1em auto;
Doing it this way, you don't need to add any extra html. Hope it helps.
h2{
display:table;
margin: 1em auto;
}
h2:before, h2:after{
content:"";
display: block;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
width: 65px;
margin-top:.5em;
}
h2:before{
float: left;
margin-right:3px;
}
h2:after{
float:right;
margin-left:3px;
}
You can do it in different ways.
One way would be setting border around the text, after keeping text inside header tags or div with font settings.
Refer the suggestions in the following link:
Add centered text to the middle of a <hr/>-like line
Try this: Demo
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.striked-text {
position: relative;
}
.striked-text .text {
z-index: 10;
position: relative;
background-color: white;
padding: 0 5px;
}
.striked-text .line {
left: -65px;
padding: 0 65px;
border-top: 1px solid gray;
top: 0.7em;
display: block;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div style="text-align:center;">
<span class="striked-text"><span class="text">FAQ</span><span class="line"></span></span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
For headings you need to define container's width
Your html code
<fieldset class="title">
<legend>Some text</legend>
</fieldset>
your css code
fieldset.title {
border-top: 1px solid #aaa;
border-bottom: none;
border-left: none;
border-right: none;
display: block;
text-align: center;
}
fieldset {
width: 50%;
}
fieldset.title legend {
padding: 5px 10px;
}
