I am new to HTML, and would like to remove the space between the text which is in a h5 tag, and the select options
HTML
<h5>Text</h5>
<select style="width:180px">
<option value="0" selected="selected">Select option</option>
</select>
The above code has a fair sized gap in between the two elements. I'm not sure what css to use in order to remove the gap.
You may use CSS in order to modify style for h5 tag, for example:
h5 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
The same goes for option tag if you wish to modify that as well.
From here you can try if you like that result or would you like to modify h5 tag even further (remember, that you can even have negative margin values).
Edit: If you want to add space you need to wrap the select in a and then use the margin-top css property
If you want to remove the gap, use the margin-bottom or padding-bottom css property for the h5.
Edit 2: You might want to use classes instead of directly changing the styles of the base html tags, to prevent unwanted effect in other places of your page.
To remove any gaps you should set the margin and padding of both elements to 0
h5, select {
margin: 0;
padding: 0
}

In Bootstrap 4, there is unwanted space around the top and bottom of text, even after applying margin or padding to 0, or playing around the line-height. The extra space is still there. It makes aligning elements with text increasingly harder.
See the red line in the following example taken from Bootstrap official doc:
you most likely will need to use the !important flag at the end of css rule.
For example:
h1 { padding: 0 !important; }
It's not the prettiest and probably not the most efficient method, but it usually gets around the bootstrap css rules.
The extra space is not related to the h1 heading. It is applied through the css selector .bd-content>table>tbody>tr>td .
You can try :
.bd-content>table>tbody>tr>td {
padding: 0;
}
Use lesser line-height like
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6{
line-height:0.6;
}
This should work as per your requirement or else change the number 0.6... or so
I have this code:
<h1> Something </h1>
<h3> Somethings </h3>
<h3> Some other things </h3>
I think HTML would automatically add 1 line spacing in between them.
I would like them to just go without 1 line of spacing, line by line I mean, not line space line space.
How could I do this without using a <br> element which is definitely unworkable in between the <h1> and <h3>, and probably not a structurally good HTML practice maybe too right?
Is using a CSS bottom margin fix this?
I am sorry to ask such an easy question maybe, I am a still bit new to HTML & CSS, but I am still learning. Thx in advance for all the answers
Default styling, the enemy of consistency
Many elements have default margins applied to them by browsers. The problem is that each browser (Chrome, IE etc) applies different amounts of margin.
This makes it hard to achieve consistency between browsers, and consistency is what we need for effective web-design.
CSS Resets to the rescue
Look into the concept of "CSS Resets". Using this approach, and advisably some prebuilt code like this: https://github.com/murtaugh/HTML5-Reset will RESET these values to zero to give you a level playing field.
Then YOU can decide how much margin your headings will have.
The reset you are looking for here - just for this problem - is:
h1, h2, h3 {
margin: 0px;
}
Then applying your own styles
Then you would build it back up again, like this for example:
h1, h2, h3 {
margin: 0px;
}
h1 {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
h2, h3 {
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
<h1> Something </h1>
<h3> Somethings </h3>
<h3> Some other things </h3>
The universal reset
A very simple "total" CSS reset would be:
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
But that's not advisable for a number of reasons especially performance: (why) is the CSS star selector considered harmful?
The vertical spacing you see is caused by default top and bottom margins of heading elements. It has nothing to do with line spacing (in the CSS sense). To remove the spacing, set the relevant margins to zero. The details depend on the context and desired effects on margins before and after the sequence of headings (which is questionable structurally here – a 1st level heading immediately followed by two 3rd level headings; maybe you meant the second one to be h2?).
For the given markup, assuming that no other effects are desired, and assuming for simplicity that these are the only h1 and h3 elements, you would set
h1 { margin-bottom: 0; }
h3 { margin-top: 0; }
h1 + h3 { margin-bottom: 0; }
h1, h3 {
margin:0;
}
This will help
Headings have a margin by default, so yes, you should use CSS to remove the margins.
I am having a problem with alignments here. I have jQuery populating a field for me. I want to add the degree symbol which I did with an HTML Entity. For some reason, when I give both items the display:inline property the text-align:center; property is ignored. Can anyone explain why and how to fix? Here is the code in question...
HTML
<h1 class="curr-temp" id="farh"></h1><h1 class="curr-temp">°</h1>
<button id="switch">F/C</button>
CSS
.curr-temp {
display:inline;
text-align:center;
}
Because when you set display:inline, the width of .curr-temp is only as wide as the contents within it, so alignment becomes mostly irrelevant. And because you have both of those elements set to be h1, you are replacing the standard h1 default of display: block;.
If you want them centered and inside of an h1, modify the markup like so:
h1 {
text-align: center;
}
<h1><span class="curr-temp" id="farh">5</span><span class="curr-temp">°</span></h1>
<button id="switch">F/C</button>
This wraps both elements inside your desired h1, which will preserve the text-align: center;, but still gives you the markup id and class required to make your changes via jQuery.
You can Wrap both of two H1 tag inside of tags.
When you set "inline" property for h1 or other head tags, then they will not have 100% width of wrapper. Couse of this will not be centered.
Currently, all the <p> elements on my page are being displayed like this:
First
Second
And so on...
I want there to be no margins between each p element.
You can change it by modifying CSS:
p {
margin: 0px;
}
I want to style my <BR> elements to have margins more like <P> elements. How can I do that?
Like this:
br {
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
You can use line-height. You have to have two <br />, first to break line and second to add range between lines.
You can specify any style to almost any element using CSS.
Default margin for P element is 1em 0; So, your CSS code should look like this:
br {
margin: 1em 0;
}
If you need to see default or current style properties for any element, you can use Firefox with Firebug or Chome/Safari/Opera Developer Tools.
Not sure why boogyman's answer has -2, but that's correct. To do what you're asking, try
<p> </p>
That will break the line and still give you the margin.
