There is white space after the "callouts" seen with the blue backgrounds. This extends beyond the green background of "calloutWrapper" I believe its caused by the .stretch applied to the span.
First off you close out the body twice which doesn't cause your problem but should be resolved
</body>
<script>
</script>
</body>
Then the white space is caused by your .stretch span
display: inline-block; is the culprit
Remove that and your good to go.
A bit more info about what you're trying to achieve with that span could help provide a better answer.
If you are trying to achieve responsive boxes you could use a css responsive grid template like bootstrap or foundation.
Alternatively you could just float left and add margin right to the first 3 elements.
eg
http://jsfiddle.net/yux07nom/5/
<div class="calloutWrapper">
<div class="callout">Callout</div>
<div class="callout">Callout</div>
<div class="callout">Callout</div>
<div class="callout last">Callout</div>
</div>
And the CSS
.callout {
width: 24%;
min-height: 100%;
background-color: blue;
float:left;
margin-right:1.3333333333%;
}
.callout.last{
margin-right:0;
}
I'm not sure there's an ideal solution to this. Your best bet is to set the font size of the .calloutWrapper div to zero and then reapply a useful font-size value to the .callout divs, like this : http://jsfiddle.net/2dgx98ye/
Note however, that some older browsers, particularly some used on mobiles, try to apply a minimum font-size which breaks this. In modern browsers, even when the have a minimum font-size configured, do not enforce it on elements where the font-size is 0.
Inline-block elements will preserve one space in the HTML. Two choices:
Have no space between those inline-block elements in the HTML.
Float:left those inline-block elements

vertical-align has always given me problems in the past and once again I'm met with a problem that I don't know how to solve.
I have this html:
<ul id="council-slider">
<li class="col-md-12" style="display: block">
<img src="somesource" />
<div class="council-spacer"></div>
<p>text content goes here</p>
</li>
</ul>
CSS:
#council-slider {
margin: 0 auto;
list-style: none;
min-height: 300px;
max-height: 400px;
}
#council-slider li img {
float: left;
height: auto;
width: 25%;
margin: 5px;
}
.council-spacer {
height: 300px;
width: 100px;
float: left;
}
#council-slider li p {
margin-top: 100px;
}
I want to be able to vertically align the image in the middle. The text is multiple lines that wrapped so using line-height will not work in this situation. Also the images can have varying heights.
There are multiple list items; I just used one in the example to simplify and reduce the html.
You should read up on where the vertical-align property has the ability to be applied.
Quoting from MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/vertical-align
The vertical-align CSS property specifies the vertical alignment of an inline or table-cell box.
Since your element is not being displayed as either inline or table-cell vertical-align: middle; will not do you any good here.
You can, however, set your <div> styling to display: table-cell; and then vertical-align: middle
Alternatively, this can be achieved with CSS3 as hars pointed out, just make sure your user's browsers support CSS3
.valign-middle {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
Transform: translateY (-50%);
}
The way this works -
Set position relative to the parent/container (i.e. <li> in your case)
Move the image that you want to vertically align, down 50% of the container height
Move the image up 50% of the height of the image
Add a class to your img as below.
.verticallyCenter {
position: relative;
top:50%;
Transform:translateY (-50%);}
Refer This
Without seeing your actual css code it is hard to say, but you should use vertical-align: middle for all objects that you want to align and you may need to change the display of your paragraph to display: table-cell.
Will be easier using flexbox: display: flex; and align-items: center;
Demo
#council-slider {
list-style: none;
}
#council-slider li{
display: flex;
margin: 10px 0;
align-items: center;
}
.council-spacer {
width: 20px;
}
I would like to place two divs within a container side by side and - thanks to SO - I feel I'm almost there, but there is something I really don't understand.
The html looks like this:
<div class="parent">
<div class="font" id="left"></div>
<div class="font" id="right"></div>
</div>
CSS looks like this:
body {
margin: 0;
}
#left {
width: 50%;
background: lightblue;
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
}
#right {
width: 50%;
background: orange;
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
}
.parent{
font-size:0;
margin: 0;
height: 40px;
}
.font{
font-size:16px;
}
font-size needs to be 0 to account for the whitespaces. display is set at inline-block (I'd rather use display than float).
This works fine. It keeps working when I add content to both the left and the right block. However, when I add content to only one block, this block gets strangely offset from the top. It's like adding margin-top: 50px or something. And I don't get why.
Here's the JSFiddle with content in the left block: https://jsfiddle.net/dave_s/phon1tws/
I've also tried overflow:hidden, but that shrinks the block with the content.
Any help would be much appreciated! Also if someone could explain to me what happens here, that'd be really great!
Thanks a lot!
One way is do use flexbox. Codepen example. Note the support for flexbox and use prefixes.
.parent {
display: flex;
}
add this in css
#left, #right{float:left;}
Alternatively, you can use CSS tables. Your mark-up lends itself nicely to the technique.
The main advantage is that you don't have to alter the font sizes to compensate for the white space that can show up between inline blocks.
Having said that, both approaches will work in your situation.
body {
margin: 0;
}
.parent {
display: table;
width: 100%;
height: 40px;
}
#left, #right {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
width: 50%;
height: 100%;
}
#left {
background: lightblue;
}
#right {
background: orange;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="font" id="left">Left Blue</div>
<div class="font" id="right">Right Orange</div>
</div>
Take a look to this really nice guide about Flexbox. Nowadays it's the clearest way to build a layout.
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
This will work:
.font {
font-size: 16px;
vertical-align: top;
}
By default baselines are vertically aligned. If the <div> is empty, its bottom line will be its baseline. Otherwise the baseline of the first line of text is the baseline to be aligned with.
This problem exists even when there are words in both <div>s but having different font-sizes.
I have been searching for an answer for this for days now and no solution seems to be the correct one for my needs. Please help!
I have two divs for which I want to fill 100% width of the browser, and have more of these which will stack to fill the height. I want the text in each of these (which is being generated from javascript ) to be vertically aligned.
I have also tried using display:table-cell and it works great in all ways, however I do not have the ability to set the cell width as a fixed %, and I need to add html markup which seems to limit me in using certain media queries later on.
How can I vertically align text using inline-block?
Im having trouble making a fiddle but this is close: http://jsfiddle.net/z4bj14op/
Here is my CSS
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
overflow-y: hidden;
font-family: helvetica;
}
#status {
width: 100%;
font-size: 0;
}
#line0, #status0 {
display: inline-block;
width: 50%;
vertical-align: middle;
height: 10%;
}
h2 {
font-size: 18px;
}
#line0 {
background-color: #B36305;
color: white;
}
#status0 {
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
And the HTML
<div id ="status">
<div id="line0"></div>
<div id="status0"></div>
</div>
There is an article from Steven Bradley 6 Methods For Vertical Centering With CSS: http://www.vanseodesign.com/css/vertical-centering/
Which solution would be the best depends on your requirements. I think the Absolute Positioning and Negative Margin way could be the solution you need, as your container have a defined height.
When using display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle the element is only vertically centered to the other inline-elements of the current row.
is this what you want ?
JSfiddle Example
If you want both of the divs to be 100% in their width that impossible ! otherwise the rest of the div will hidden by the other one
clarify more what's needed ..
<div id ="status">
<div id="line0"><h2>Bakerloo</h2></div>
<div id="status0"><h2>Good Service</h2></div>
</div>
css code:
#line0{
background:pink;
width:50%;
display: inline-block;
}
#status0{
background:red;
width:49%;
display: inline-block;
}
Why are you using display: inline-block? must you use this way? try to put float: left instead display: inline-block inside block #line0,#status0 and after you can work with text-something else
You Can try this
#line0{
background:pink;
width:50%;
display: inline-block;
float:left;/*added*/
}
#status0{
background:red;
width:50%;
display: inline-block;
}
DEMO
I have two inline-block elements (first image). The first one has fixed width. The second one doesn't have fixed width because the container may grow horizontally so it should fill it.
When second element text is large (second image) then it wraps down.
But what I want is the element to grow vertically (third image).
I need also text to preserve line breaks.
You can apply max-width: calc( 100% - LABEL_WIDTH ) to your .element class. Replace LABEL_WIDTH with the width of the label. This way you can define a width in em for the label instead of using two percentual values.
See this JSFiddle for a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/QL78X/2/
See this link for a table of browsers supporting calc(): http://caniuse.com/calc
li {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
list-style-type: none;
}
.label {
width: 7em;
}
.element {
width: calc( 100% - 7em );
white-space: pre-line;
}
Here's a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Pv8yH/1/
Basically, I've set a width on the label, then set a max-width on the element. I've set the white-space to 'nowrap' so that the second LI doesn't wrap down. Then I have to make sure that white-space is reset back to 'normal' within the LI itself. The max-width is just for show, really, the magic is the white-space property (at least in terms of your question).
ul { white-space: nowrap; }
ul li {
display: inline-block;
white-space: normal;
}
li.label { width: 30%; vertical-align: top; background: red; }
li.element { max-width: 70%; background: green; }
NB. If you are setting a width in ems for the first element, it may be tricky to get it to all fit. It will flow like you want, but you will definitely have to tweak it to make it look nice.
You can use
float:left;
Check this example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/3M5MF/
I suggest you use max-width on the right element. I did an example here: http://codepen.io/mattdrose/pen/qCLzG?editors=110
.field__item {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: text-top;
}
.field__item--1 {
width: 30%;
}
.field__item--2 {
max-width: 70%;
}
I use percentages, but you can replace these with your preferred method.
However, I think you should use floats so you don't have to deal with the html white space when calculating your widths.
I used relative position of container with fixed height http://jsfiddle.net/6qMvy/
.container{
width: 400px;
height: 600px;
position: relative;
}
.left{
width: 100px;
position: absolute;
}
.right{
position: absolute;
left: 120px;
}
I have 4 Images, and for some reasons my brain stopped working and i cant figure out why i cant center those.
That's the Fiddle -> http://jsfiddle.net/theminijohn/bcMX5/
If i try to just <center> them i'm getting a Deprecated Html Tag Error in my Editor.
I tried a lot of things, till rewriting the Css and Html Code, but i'm brain stuck here.
Could some Gentleman help brake my blockade ? :)
Here is one way of doing it.
Add a wrapper block element around your div's and then apply the following CSS:
.wrap {
border: 1px solid blue;
overflow: auto;
text-align: center;
}
/* Center 4 Blocks */
.hd_b {
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: normal;
margin-top: 10px;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
}
._hd {
margin-right: 20px;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}
._hd:last-child {
margin-right: 0;
}
._hd img {
opacity: .85;
}
._hd a:hover img {
opacity: 1;
}
See demo at http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/QTxy9/
The parent .wrap block has text-align: center, and this will center the child ._hd div's that have display: inline-block.
You need to reset the right margin on the last child div using ._hd:last-child.
This works pretty well if you are willing to use the inline-block display type.
Note that any white space between inline-block elements translate into a 1ex wide space, which may not be obvious when you set the margin between blocks.
All of those divs need to be in one container div that has a fixed width. Then you can apply margin: 0 auto to the container.
http://jsfiddle.net/bcMX5/9/
Try doing this:-
Give a "main" DIV outside all img DIV "<div id="main">"
and give "margin: 0 auto;" along with some width to it.
Please refer the Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/aasthatuteja/6U2YJ/
Hope this should solve your issue!
would this be, want you want?
._hd {
margin-right: 20px;
display: block;
width:100%;
text-align: center;
}
Forget about margin and float ;) http://jsfiddle.net/bcMX5/8/
._hd {
//margin-right: 20px;
display: block;
//float: left;
text-align: center;
}
Depends on how you want to center the elements? If it's in a column the above answer would work. Its in a grid then wrap them in a fixed width container.
._hd_container{
width:440px;
margin:0 auto;
}
