I'm just learning CSS and HTML and decided to have a go at making a mock up website. I'm having trouble with the border not meeting the end of the top bar. Other times I've had it go over.
https://jsfiddle.net/9gonuvu7/
#topnav li {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 16px 10px 10px 20px;
list-style: none;
color: white;
font-size: 1.2em;
border-right: solid #3E6F87 1px;
You can see this in the above link. If you could explain to me why this is happening and how I can avoid it in future I would be very grateful.
Remove the padding from the parent.
That's preventing it from reaching top.
#topbar {
background-color: #2A4F6E;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
padding: 0px 0 0px 0;
margin: 0;
}
Okay, because you said you just started with HTML and CSS I changed a bit more in your code.
At the moment your fixedwith div has no impact on the code (maybe you use it in your full website).
You applied the background on the whole topbar, that HTML-wise also contains your menu points, assuming you only want your headline to have that blue background I swapped that property to the h1-tag.
With this change the borderlines are overlapped b the headline, which should do the job.

I'm trying to have these small left and right borders either side of the text. Here is what I'm trying to make:
http://imgur.com/xCZnGgJ
My problem is that the borders are not the same height of the surrounding div however they only go the same height of the text. Here is a screen shot:
http://imgur.com/I2jjsAm
I have dried adding height: 30px to the li and ul however this does not change anything.
*{margin:0;}
#header {
width:100%;
}
#pre_header {
width:100%;
height:30px;
background-color:#202020;
}
.pre_header_content {
margin:0 auto;
width:1040px;
}
#pre_header ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height:30px;
}
#pre_header li {
display: inline;
border-right: .5px solid #414141;
border-left: .5px solid #414141;
}
#pre_header a {
text-decoration:none;
color:#fff;
padding:6px 15px 6px 15px;
}
#pre_header a:hover {
background-color:#4e4e4e;
}
<div id="header">
<div id="pre_header">
<div class="pre_header_content">
<ul>
<li>Voucher codes</li>
<li>In-store codes</li>
<li>Online codes</li>
<li>Free samples</li>
<li>Advertise</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main_header">
<div class="main_header_content">
Test
</div>
</div>
</div>
If anyone knows is there also anyway to bring the two borders together closer also?
Add the padding:6px 15px 6px 15px; to the li instead of a. And also, 0.5px does not work. What's half a pixel? Updated your code. See below!
EDIT: Note: I also changed your hover effect to affect the li element instead of a.
*{
margin:0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#header {
width:100%;
}
#pre_header {
width:100%;
height:30px;
background-color:#202020;
}
.pre_header_content {
margin:0 auto;
width:1040px;
}
#pre_header ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
line-height:30px;
}
#pre_header li {

#pre_header li:last-child{

You could simply change the li to display: inline-block; I've created a jsfiddle for you.
#pre_header li {
display: inline-block;
border-right: 1px solid #414141;
border-left: 1px solid #414141;
}
Also, don't use .5px, use a single amount. I have used 1px.
http://jsfiddle.net/xeqsn83a/
If you want the borders to touch, you would need to float it. And as others have mentioned, your border width needs to be an actual pixel size. There is no such thing as .5px. Here is an example of what (I think) you are trying to do:
http://jsfiddle.net/tuc4Lwuu/
#pre_header li {
float: left;
border-right: 1px solid #414141;
border-left: 1px solid #414141;
margin-right: 2px;
}
Try this:
* {
margin: 0;
}
#header {
width: 100%;
}
#pre_header {
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
background-color: #202020;
}
.pre_header_content {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1040px;
}
#pre_header ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 0;
}
#pre_header li {
display: inline-block;
border-right: 1px solid #414141;
border-left: 1px solid #414141;
margin-right: 1px;
}
#pre_header a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
padding: 6px 15px 6px 15px;
font-size: 16px;
line-height: 30px;
}
#pre_header a:hover {
background-color: #4e4e4e;
}
<div id="header">
<div id="pre_header">
<div class="pre_header_content">
<ul>
<li>Voucher codes</li>
<li>In-store codes</li>
<li>Online codes</li>
<li>Free samples</li>
<li>Advertise</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div id="main_header">
<div class="main_header_content">

I changed display: inline to inline-block for li and border-width to 1px (it has to be an integer). Also made li items closer to each other with font-size: 0 technique (read this article for understanding).
I have a question about positioning my website. As you can see in the IMG below, there is a gap between two of my images for some odd reason: http://puu.sh/6SWgu.png
I am trying to get rid of that gap, but I can't figure out why.
EDIT
(I don't know who deleted the other comment someone left, but I tried that one with a little bit of configuration and it worked.)
(Question is, will this new code hurt any process as I continue coding in my website?)
Here is the NEW content:

border-top: 15px solid #828080;
text-align: center;

For this you can set the navigation margin-bottom in negative or the main body image margin top as negative if your 0 margin or padding isn't working
I'm relatively new to HTML (only a few weeks now), and I'm stuck. The "about" section on my page doesn't seem to be clickable and won't bring me to the linked page. The confusing thing is that the link appears to be clickable since the floating hand icon appears when hovering over the link. I can right-click and open the link in a new tab. If I delete the css and try the link without the formatting, it is also valid.
I'm confused... is the CSS somehow messing with my href tag?
here's the html:
<div id="header">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="twelwecol last">
<div id="navigation"> <!-- Navigation Links -->
<ul>
<li>about</li>
<li>members</li>
<li>events</li>
<li>media</li>
<li>social</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and the code from the "navigation.css" page:
#header {
width: 100%;
height: 49px;
color: white;
background-color: #1b1e25;
position: fixed;
z-index: 9999;
}
#logo {
background-image: url('../images/assets/logo.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 80px;
width: 80px;
display: block;
float: left;
}
#navigation {
padding-top: 2px;
width: 480px;
display: block;
margin: 0px auto;
}
#navigation ul {
padding:0px;
margin: auto;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#navigation ul li {
display:inline;
float:left;
list-style:none;
padding: 13px 20px 13px 20px;
}
#navigation ul li {
display:inline;
float:left;
list-style:none;
padding: 13px 20px 13px 20px;
}
#navigation ul li a {
color: gray;
text-decoration: none;
font-family:'Scada', sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
}
#navigation ul li a:hover {
color: white;
}
.current {
border-bottom: 1px solid #cb1c1c;
color: white;
}
#contact {
padding-top: 12px;
float: right;
position: relative;
}
#contact a {
text-decoration: none;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 9px;
color: gray;
padding: 11px;
}
#contact a:hover {
color: white;
border: #333333 1px solid;
padding: 10px;
}
Could someone please tell me what is going on here? Any help would be most appreciated!
it appears clickable because it is contained within the a tag. When you link something your href needs to have a proper extension. Are you sure youre using .htm and not html?
furthermore CSS affects Style (css= cascading style sheet) it wont affect html (or any other) functions like the href function.
try changing your href to href="about.html"
So I'm doing a horizontal website with individual sections which works fine but now that Ive added my menu i'm having trouble where its just ruining my whole content areas and background.
Ive tried using the z-index which has no effect whats so ever... and putting items before it just push it out the way too.
My CSS Nav Bar
#Navigation
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 20px 0px 0px 700px;
font-family: 'american_captainregular', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 55px;
float:left;
}
#Navigation ul, #Navigation li
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
display: inline;
list-style-type: none;
}
#Navigation a:link, #Navigation a:visited
{
float: left;
line-height: 14px;
margin: 0 10px 4px 10px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #999;
}
#Navigation a:hover { color: #000; }
My CSS For the image
#HomeText{
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(Images/HomeText.png);
float:left;
height:158px;
width:450px;
margin-left:461px;
margin-top:126px;
}
The HTML
<div id="Content">
<div class="Tabs TabOne" id="HomeTab">
<ul class="MyNav" id="Navigation">
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Portfolio</li>
</ul>
<div id="HomeText"></div>
</div>
And just in case, the CSS for my Sections
.Tabs{
margin:0px;
bottom:0px;
float:left;
width:3500px;
}
.TabOne{
background: url(Images/BG1.jpg) no-repeat;
}
Ive never encountered this sort of issue with elements being pushed down the page as much as with this
http://jsfiddle.net/BoneStarr/AGfwn/
I want to center (automatically) the navbar on this site. Also, I need to have a 1px border-top and 1px border-bottom that extends roughly 70% of the nav area.
It should look like this mockup once it's done:
Remove the floats on your li tags, and on your #navigation, add text-align: center;. Your floats are making your parent have a height of 0, which will in turn not allow you to have your borders. This fixes both those issues. From there, just add border-top: 1px solid white; border-bottom: 1px solid white; to your ul to get your lines.
Take a look at this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/qZTAt/
The key there is this piece of code:
nav {
border-top: 1px solid #fff;
border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
margin: 0 15%;
text-align: center;
}
Try using margin:0 auto; padding:0;
Right I'm going to come in late to this party (with an already answered question!) just to add what I would have done. It's based on this technique here
