I am having a really odd situation here. I have spent the last 7 hours researching why I cannot get display: inline; to work at all, unless it's on my main page. Nothing seems to be helping.
Here is the relevant coding.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Contact Info</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="name">
<p>*****<p>
Go Back
</div>
<div class="contact">
<p>
<span style="color:#000000">By Phone:</span>
**********
</p>
<p>
<span style="color:#000000">By Email:</span>
****#****.ca
</p>
<p>
<span style="color:#000000">By Mail:</span>
<span style="color:#3300cc">***************</span>
</p>
</div>
</body>
And here is the CSS.
.name {
display: inline;
}
The result is the two items, (The name "****" and the "Go Back" link), appear one on top of each other. I have tried making it a list, but that had no effect. I tried making them both links, but that had no effect. display: inline-block; also has no effect. Nothing I do has any effect on the div class name. I tried changing the name of the div class several times no effect.
The problem here is the the <p> tag is also a block level element. One solution would be to add a style such that a <p> within the .name div is also inline
.name, .name p {display: inline;}
See https://jsfiddle.net/t0z2p9bn/
It would be better to change your html such that the stars are not contained within a <p> tag
<div class ="name">
*****
Go Back
</div>
See https://jsfiddle.net/t0z2p9bn/1/
divs should not be used for inline elements. Did you mean to use a span?
There is a typo - it shouldn't make a difference, but there's an unneeded space after "class" here:
<div class ="name">

My html is linked to the right CSS file and everything and when I point any other element to change color it workes but everytime I deal with classes even when I put .class {color: red;} it doesn't work and for the span[yes]{color: purple;} as well.Is it maybe an outdated CSS, something I need to update?

/***** CSS FILE *****/
span[yes]{
color: purple;
}
This is not how you refer to a class. To refer to a class, you must do it like this:
.yes{
color: red;
}
<span class= "yes">yo Im a span tag</span>
You need to use span.class and span.yes instead of span[yes]. A good practice is not to name the class as class or span or any any keywords used in html or css selectors.
By span[yes] you are addressing to spans that have yes attribute. Instead use
.deck{
color: red;
}
where .deck is the name of the class you set in the html element:
<span class= "deck"></span>
In CSS, span[yes] means a <span> element which has the attribute yes, which is obviously not the case in your code. Either span.[class="yes"] or the shorthand span.yes will work. See the chapter Selectors in the CSS specification.
I want to hide a header text from the website.
because the same element "h2" has been used in more than one page, i can't apply a "display:none" to it.
I have tried it. The result is that it will remove other page's header too.
is there a way to apply CSS so that it only hides when the header text contains specific words?
i will be appreciate for any help i may get here
If I understand correctly, you can hide the header by removing the html on the specific page or with inline css, only on the page where you want to hide it ofcourse.
<header style="display: none;"></header>
Edit: If you only have access to css (not the the html or js) you can't achieve this unless the element has unique parents, attributes or something. You can find a list of css selectors here.
There is no way in CSS to select anything by its content currently. You can only select elements based on their ID, class, other attributes, specific ancestors, specific previous siblings, or their serial number among their siblings. So if you wand special styling for a specific element and you control the markup, the easiest way is to set this element a class or ID, as suggested above.
In your H2 tag that you want to hide, you can apply a class.
<html>
<head>
<style>
.hide-me { display: none; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>First header</h2>
<h2 class="hide-me">Your header</h2>
</body>
</html>
It's better to move the tag into a CSS file, but this will accomplish what you want.
You need to just add a id to your specific header and apply style to it.
CSS 101.
<head>
<style> //Internal CSS
#hide {
display: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2 id="hide"> Hello World </h2>
<h2> ... </h2>
<h2> ... </h2>
</body>
If you want to apply the same style from an external file copy the style inside the tag and paste it onto your style.css document.
The last and least used method is to use inline CSS :
<h2 style="display: none"> ... </h2>
More reference here : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display
If you want to use the same style in more than one place use 'class' instead of id.
<head>
<style> //Internal CSS
.hide {
display: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2 class="hide"> Hello World </h2>
<h2> ... </h2>
<h2 class="hide"> Lorem Ipsum </h2>
</body>
Don't know if it has a normal explanation or if it is some kind of extrange behaviour, but i have faced the next issue in HTML:
I have the following paragraph:
<p>
You have <strong>32</strong> items
</p>
Nothing so special and works fine.
(Result: You have 32 items)
But if i add the following style:
<p>
You have <strong>32</strong> items
</p>
<p style="height:20%;">
You have <strong>32</strong> items
</p>
The number in "strong" looses the spaces before and after it.
(Result: You have32items)
Why is it?
P.D: It behaves the same with "b" tag.
More info:
I'm testing in Chrome and Firefox with a IIS server (both fails).
I couldn't reproduce it in Fiddle, so it could be something that i'm missing in my code...
More info:
here is the complete scss:
$header_height: 10%;
$footer_height: 20%;
$body_height: 100% - ($header_height+$footer_height);
$container_frame_padding: 0.5em;
html{
height:100%;
body.vcAllowOverflowContent{
height:100% !important;
.vcPopupContainer{
height:100%;
.vcPopupTitle{
height:$header_height;
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
font-size:$bigger_font_size;
padding:$container_frame_padding;
}
.vcPopupBody{
height:$body_height;
border: solid black 1px;
overflow:auto;
padding:$container_frame_padding;
}
.vcPopupFooter{
height:$footer_height;
}
}
}
}
and here a more complete html:
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>MutipleDelete</title>
#Styles.Render("~/Content/Bootstrap")
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="~/Content/vcPopups.min.css" />
</head>
<body class="vcAllowOverflowContent">
<div class="vcPopupContainer">
<p class="vcPopupTitle">
¿Desea borrar estos <strong>#Model.Count</strong> pacientes?
</p>
<div class="vcPopupBody">
...
</div>
<div class="vcPopupFooter">
...
</div>
#Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/Jquery")
#Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/Bootstrap")
</div>
</body>
</html>
As you can see i'm using Bootstrap and Razor.
If i remove the "vcPopupTitle" class, the paragraph behaves normally.
It's strongly recommended (since HTML 5) that, if possible (even if not), use span class="foo" and then apply font-weight:bold; to this class, instead using html tags for text formatting.
And you cannot set width of text on %, must use px, em or rem, see the example below:
p{font-size:1.2rem;}
p.ps{font-size:1.6rem;}
span.foo{font-weight:bold;}
div.container{height:86px; overflow:auto; border:0.1rem solid black;}
.section1{height:40%; border:0.3rem solid blue;}
.section2{height:60%; border:0.3rem solid red;}
<div class="container">
<div class="section1">
<p>
You have <strong>32</strong> items
</p>
</div>
<div class="section2">
<p class="ps">
You have <span class="foo">32</span> items
</p>
</div>
</div>
Take care about tag default properties and for which job are each one.
P tag is a paragraph and cannot take height property "as is". it will take 100% of the container on width, and the height it need. If you want to limit the height of a p tag, you have to limit the container of this p instead force limit to self P tag.
Note that if you try to force a container to a height and the content overflow its parent container, it will not take visible effect due to font-size (on this case) so you'll need to use another font size (and better specify it as rem, that means realtive em).
Ok, problem solved.
It has to be with the "display: flex;" and "justify-content:center;" styles.
I was applying those styles to a "p" tag, so the elements within it (text and strong) aligned to the center and spaces between them were removed.
Solution:
<div class="vcPopupTitle">
<p>
You have <strong>32</strong> items
</p>
</div>
Now the "flex" display will work on the paragraph and not on its elements.
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">

</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.
I really need help :)
I have to put multiple words in a line, each with a different color, I tried wrapping each word in a <div> </div> and styling, but it seems it makes a new line between words.
Try using <span>.
<div>s are used for block-level elements. <span> is used for inline elements, such as text enclosed in a <p> element.
Further reading: Span and div
That's because <div> is a block element. Try <span> (an inline element) instead.
Use a Span tag instead, like
This <span style="color:red;">text</span> is red, but <span style="color:blue;">THIS</span> text is blue!
<div> is a block-level element. This means you either need to apply a display: inline style to it or better yet, use an inline tag such as <span>
use
<span>Text Here</span>
And style it in your css.
Use <span> </span> It is what it is mean to.
Then you can set css classes.

Span is not at the <span class="yellow">yellow level</span>.
