I want to add a small avatar next to a link in my bootstrap navbar like this:
I am trying to add my image inside the <a> tags of the link, but this is pushing the link out of line with the other links, because the image is taller than the text of the links.
Here is my HTML
<li><a href="link">
<img class="hidden-xs" src="img">
MIKE
</a>
</li>
Is there a proper way to easily add images to bootstrap nav-bars so that all the links still remain in line?
Here's #press' fiddle with the line height changed. You can obviously tweek around padding etc.. to your likes http://jsfiddle.net/c6f1ecrv/4/
.navbar-nav li a {
line-height:3em;
padding:5px 10px;
}
Thanks to those of you who pointed out that I need to change line height. The problem with just changing line height, however, was that this would mess up the default height setting of the bootstrap nav bar. So I made some calculations with less to make all the styles play nicely.:
#nav-avatar-height: 40px;
#nav-link-line-height: #nav-avatar-height;
#nav-link-padding-vertical: calc((#navbar-height - #nav-avatar-height) / 2);
// Only apply extra spacing when not collapsed into dropdown
#media (min-width: #screen-xs-max) {
.nav > li > a {
font-size: 1.1em;
line-height: #nav-link-line-height;
padding-top: #nav-link-padding-vertical;
padding-bottom: #nav-link-padding-vertical;
}
.nav > li > a > img {
height: #nav-avatar-height;
border-radius: 50%;
border: 1px solid #gray-light;
}
}

I'm trying to style my navbar and work on its aesthetics but I think I'm missing a trick. The darken which happens on the hover is too big for my liking, but the only size change I can do is an overall padding which doesn't allow fine tuning.
I've spent the last 2 hours looking for a solution and I'm stumped. I bet it's something simple and I'm just not seeing it.
#navbar {
background-color: #333;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 6%;
transition: top 0.3s;
z-index: 2;
}
#navbar a {
float: left;
display: block;
color: white;
margin: 10px;
padding: 10px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
border-radius: 30px;
}
#navbar a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
color: black;
height: 6%;
border: 1px inset #000000;
}
<div id="navbar">
<div class=buttonContainer>
<div class="homeBorder">
Home </div>

Right now, your code does not show any "darkening" but I hope I still understood your question correctly: You want the background of the navbar links to be of a certain color on hover but the area is too big, especially in height?
You are right, your issue is caused by the 10px-padding that you have set on your link elements. I would recommend you to reduce the padding to maybe 5px to achieve the height you would like to see on hover (same padding for normal and hover, otherwise the links "jump" on hover). You could then wrap all links in an additional div to make universal changes or you could simply work with margins instead. I would also recommend not setting a specific height on the navbar but letting the elements inside determine its height by using padding and margin.
What always helps me when dealing with spacing in CSS, is adding differently colored backgrounds to ALL of the elements involved as to understand their behavior and to test my code.
In case there is a specific reason why you cannot reduce the padding, then please edit your question and make your requirements clearer.
Btw, there is one fatal error in your code:
<div class=buttonContainer>
should be:
<div class="buttonContainer">
(quotes!!)
...and ideally it should be:
<div class="button-container">
as it's not best practise to use camel case in CSS as opposed to JS or other programming languages.
I am relatively new to HTML/CSS, and am finding a basic bug in a website that I am attempting to create.
I am using an external CSS file to style my website, and I use the following code as a general guideline for my HTML links.
a:link, a:visited{
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
}
a:active, a:hover{
background-color: rgb(46, 46, 46);
color: white;
}
After I link my styles.css file to my HTML file (via link), I want to have a standard logo at the top right corner of the screen, which when clicked, will bring the user to the home screen. However, I do not want to set a specific pixel size, rather, I want it to cover a specific percentage of the screen so the website would look natural on a phone and a computer (rather than being too big/small). I have attempted to do so below, and although the image is in the correct proportions I want it to be, I am still getting an issue when I hover over the label, there seems to be a border that lights up around the image (even though I don't want it to). Here is the code that I used to add the logo:
<a href="index.html" style="float:right; padding:0px 0px;">
<img src="images/test.jpg" alt="Testing Logo" style="width:35%; height:20%; border:0;">
</a>
I am pretty sure that adding the percentages to both the width and height is illegal, right? I'm also curious why this seems to work for the height, but not for the width, and if there is something flawed in doing so please let me know. Here is the output that this code will cause to my logo:
In the above image, I am not hovering over the image with my mouse. The logo is taking up more space than I would like and has a border.
The above image shows my logo when I am hovering over it with my mouse. Notice that the border around it changes color, and if you click in this area, then it will redirect it to the homepage (which is what I want it to do, but I want to minimize the clicking area to just the picture of the logo, not the space surrounding it, and I want to get rid of the border surrounding the logo).
there's a property in CSS called as an outline
a:link, a:visited{
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
outline: none;
}
this will remove your border which is highlighting when you hover over it
Your issue is not that clear.
It is best to show your live site or place your code on sites like CodePen or JSFiddle, so others can test to check the issue.
By the way, you can also post your code here as well.
You can try this, but please read what follows: :)
a:link, a:visited{
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
border: none; /* <-- add this */
}
a:active, a:hover{
background-color: rgb(46, 46, 46);
color: white;
}
From what I see: I suspect the border (and box-shadow ?) to come from a parent node. You can use the inspector of your browser and click on the border to identify the html tag we want and give him the medicine:
{
border: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
I am pretty sure that adding the percentages to both the width and height is illegal, right?
The SWAT won't come at your place, though we tend to avoid that directly in the HTML file.
More, it's better to not put style inside the HTML file itself, as it may override some rules written on your css files. If you don't know about CSS specificity, here is a good read.
Though it's ok on a CSS file. Myself I usually put max-width: 100% to the images, and I change the width and height of it's parent's div as needed.
I do not want to set a specific pixel size, rather, I want it to cover a specific percentage of the screen
This is perfect! Did you know about vw and media queries ?
Basic css question here.
Every time I press "Check all", the button populates with the names from a list (which is fine).
The issue is: The button width itself expands and gets bigger. I want to keep it fixed. Furthermore, how can I set a limit to the number of list items it can show? So for example, if there are a lot of items, after "test 5", a "..." should appear.
By the way: this is all in my custom.css, .btn-default is actually from bootstrap, but I wanted to change some things in my multi select-class. I changed caret margin because the caret was right beside the text, I wanted it to be to the VERY right, maybe that's what's messing everything up??
custom.css :
.sv-manage-multiselect-dropdown {
.btn-default {
background-image: none;
border: 1px solid #ADA9A9;
padding: 6px 8px 1px 8px ;
}
.btn .caret {
margin-left: 160px;
margin-bottom:5px;
}
}
Html:
<td class="col-xs-2">
<am-multiselect class="sv-manage-multiselect-dropdown"
ng-model="Mylist.names"
options="Names.name for link in Mylist"
multiple="true"
ms-selected="{{Mylist.names}}"
</am-multiselect>
</td>

After:
Have you tried using max-width in your css?
max-width: 40px;
For example.
Hope this helps!
I looked in angular-multiselect/src/multiselect.tmpl.html, adding this css should work, 10px is just for the example, put width and height of the checkmark, like this <i> will fill same place even if it's void:
.sv-manage-multiselect-dropdown {
ul.dropdown-menu > li > i{
display: inline-block;
min-width: 10px;
min-height: 10px;
}
}
Question: What's the best way to create a horizontal menu with drop down capabilities that can be dynamically resized? (Or preferably, how can I edit my current menu to behave like that?)
Explanation: I'm using a thin, horizontal drop-down menu as the main navigation on my site. When the browser window is at full width, there are no problems, but when it is resized, the right-most link pushes down to the next line, as it is floated.
Horizontal menus are such a common thing, I know there have to be some common tricks and ways to create them so that they can be dynamically resized. So if trying to fix my current menu is too burdensome, I would be fine just to hear some tips or read some stuff on how to create better horizontal menus.
Here is what I think would be the main problem:
.menu2 li {
position: relative;
float: left;
width: 150px;
z-index: 1000
}
I've tried different combinations of making this inline and making other tweeks, such as making the 150px width into a percentage, but that would create all sorts of alignment issues with the text.
Here is a demo with all of the code now: http://jsfiddle.net/HSVdg/1/
Some notes on the above link:
I am using Tiny Drop Down 2 (http://sandbox.scriptiny.com/tinydropdown2/) for drop-down functionality (in the form of JS and CSS, which are noted in comments), though the drop down is not actually working in the jsfiddle. I'm pretty sure all of the JS is irrelevant to my main question.
Tiny Drop Down uses a lot of CSS, so it's been quite difficult for me to try and make little tweeks.
The buttons are not vertically lined up with the actual bar, but again this is not the main issue since this is not happening on my actual site.
The window size in the jsfiddle doesn't actually accomodate the entire length of buttons, so you immediately see the problem of the buttons moving to the next line.
Try my version, with display table/table-cell:
http://jsfiddle.net/HSVdg/10/
I've basically just replaced floats with display: table on .menu2 and display: table-cell on its children (li's)
This is how i see it
<nav>
<ul>
<li id="youarehere">Home
<li><a>Products</a>
<li><a>Services</a>
<li><a>Contact Us</a>
</ul>
</nav>
ul#navigation {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: #039;
}
ul#navigation li { display: inline; }
ul#navigation li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .25em 1em;
border-bottom: solid 1px #39f;
border-top: solid 1px #39f;
border-right: solid 1px #39f;
}
a:link, a:visited { color: #fff; }
ul#navigation li a:hover {
background-color: #fff;
color: #000;
}
ul#navigation li#youarehere a { background-color: #09f; }
Just started using Jekyll to generate some basic pages and wanted to add a image logo to the top branding area on the navigation bar. Is there a standard way to do this without messing with the themes in Jekyll?
I don't believe it's possible to do this without at least a little customizing of the theme.
However, since you're using the default, twitter theme for Jekyll-Bootstrap, these changes should be fairly straightforward to make:
Put your logo.png in assets/themes/twitter
In your _includes/themes/twitter/default.html you'll want to add a <li> with your logo under the <ul class="nav"> element like so:
<li><a class="brand-image" href="{{ HOME_PATH }}"><img class="brand-image" src="{{ASSET_PATH}}/logo.png"/></a></li>
Next, define the brand-image class by editing assets/themes/twitter/css/style.css and add the following:
.navbar .nav > li > a.brand-image {
padding: 4px 0px 0px 0px;
}
.navbar .nav > li > a > img.brand-image {
-webkit-border-radius: 0px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px;
border-radius: 0px;
}
You'll probably have to play with the padding to get it to work just right for your image.
