Special image slider - html

I've seen a very cool slider that I'd like to recreate, however, I wanna try it with pure HTML and CSS first. (Original one is javascript only, but its several years old and from a quite unprofessional source.) This is just a test of concept, so there's no effort put in crossbrowser-stuff etc.
Also, I don't know how to call it so I've no idea how to google it.
The idea is to have let's say 5 pictures in a box with equal widths. On hovering one of these the non-active ones should shrink allowing the active one to be fully displayed. Here's what I tried:
#showcase {
position: relative;
width: 760px; /* 750px + 10px to prevent flickering */
height: 200px;
}
#showcase:hover > .jewelry {
width: 75px;
}
.jewelry {
width: 150px;
height: 100%;
float: left;
transition: width 1s;
}
.jewelry:hover {
width: 450px !important;
}
.jewelryOtherHovered {
width: 75px;
}
#jewelry1 {
margin-left: 5px;
background-color: red;
}
#jewelry2 {
background-color: yellow;
}
#jewelry3 {
background-color: green;
}
#jewelry4 {
background-color: blue;
}
#jewelry5 {
background-color: pink;
}
<div id="showcase">
<div id="jewelry1" class="jewelry" onMouseOver="(0)" onmouseout=""> </div>
<div id="jewelry2" class="jewelry"></div>
<div id="jewelry3" class="jewelry"></div>
<div id="jewelry4" class="jewelry"> </div>
<div id="jewelry5" class="jewelry"></div>
</div>
Needless to say, it doesn't work the way I want it to. Try hovering the yellow block and when its half done go to the green one. That results in a wrong overall width. (Pink one doesn't remain to be stuck on the right side, hope you get what I mean.) Then hover from the red one very fast to the yellow one and then go out of the box at the bottom. In that case this is were the pink one is shown.
Question being, does anyone know how to fix it or does anyone have a better approach? Thanks for your help :-)

What are your reasons for avoiding javascript/jQuery?
From what I understand you want the following:
when none are active: the width to be each 20%
when one is active:
-the active: say 60%
-the others: 10% each
-total: 100%

I just edited the values. There appears to be a few lines that not necessary that you could cut out.

How do I change the size of the darken on a navbar hover?

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.

Question about a CSS about click:hover with text?

I need to create a "record store". I'm very new to CSS and HTML and hardly know anything in JAVA. This is what I need to create.
When the user hovers over one of these featured records, move that record vertically lower and make it become larger. Also, display information about that record that was not previously visible.
Any help is helpful.
Use :hover.
Regarding the information you want to display, you could put them in another div with display: none and change it to display: block on hover using something like #record:hover #content {}.
<div id="record"></div>
#record {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background: grey;
}
#record:hover {
position: relative;
top: 10px;
width: 110px;
height: 110px;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/y5j8rhfL/1/
Try this instead
<div class = "record" ></div>
Now the HTML is ready
.record{
/* Whatever style you've applied here is fine */
transition-duration: .5s;
}
.record:hover{
transform: translateY(15px) scale(1.5);
}
The translateY(15px) is to move it down by 15px
While the scale(1.5) is to make it appear bigger

Simple CSS box-model issue with max/min-width/height

I'm playing around with the box models on my test webpage.
Everything is working properly, except when I resize my browser.
I am trying to get the title to cut in half and appear underneath the first bit of the title if the browser is resized to cover about half of the title.
This, however, is proving a problem.
Here is my code for this specific problem:
#header1 {
color: darkorange;
width: 500px;
height: 30px;
min-width: 300px;
min-height: 30px;
max-width: 500px;
max-height: 70px;
}
Currently, when I resize my browser, a part of the title disappears behind the edges of the browser.
I'm guessing I misunderstand the working of max/min-height/width.
Do I need to use the overflow command here?
<h1 id="header1">
Welcome to Luc's Amazing Website!
</h1>
<br />
Tell me if you need more code, I don't know how much is exactly needed.
It's hard to say without seeing more of code, though following should be enough to achieve the result you are looking for.
#header1 {
color: darkorange;
min-height: 30px;
max-width: 500px;
max-height: 70px;
}
see the example in fiddle, https://jsfiddle.net/sh0fevt1/2/
To achieve this you need to place both parts in separate boxes. Also width: 500px; was not enough to fit the whole title in a single row.
#header1 {
color: darkorange;
}
#header1 span {
display: inline-block;
}
<h1 id="header1">
<span>Welcome to Luc's</span> <span>Amazing Website!</span>
</h1>

Fixed placement of element, but considering pseudo before element

I have an annoying issue with the html layout of a form. I cannot really change the general setup, since it is part of a huge framework. But I have to "move" a button to a more suitable location. I am close, but not happy with the solution so far. Maybe you can give me some idea in this. Here is a dramatically simplified version to demonstrate my approach:
I have two container divs, top and bottom.
The top container shows a button on the left side. That button is fixed, but can have a different width due to the translation of its label.
The bottom container holds lots of stuff. Amongst that a second button at its top which works fine, but looks wrong. I want to optically move it into the top container, since there is a logical connection to the button in there. Sure, really placing it in there would be the correct solution, but I currently cannot do that. Instead I use a fixed position which works fine, except for the horizontal placement. I have to decide how far pushed from the left to place the button, so that it certainly does not overlap the first button in the container. I obviously have to consider all translations, the result works, but depending on the first buttons label I have an annoying horizontal gap between the two buttons.
I tried to use a pseudo element (::before) on the second button to help with the layout. Since when rendering the view I obviously have the translated label of the first button I can copy that into some property of the second button and use that property in my css to fill a before pseudo element of the second button which has exactly the same length as the first button. That is what is shown in the code example posted below.
What I completely fail to do is to place that pseudo element such that is it left in the top container (so exactly below the first button). The idea is to indirectly place the second button that way. Looks like this is not possible, obviously. But since I am a bloody beginner in markup and styling I thought it might be worth asking here...
Below is some drastically stripped down code to demonstrate my approach.
I create a jsfiddle for you to play around with. Here is the code:
HTML:
<div id="top-container">
<button>multilingual button text</button>
</div>
<div id="bottom-container">
<h2>
Some title opening the bottom container
<span class="into-top-container">
<button id="place-me" reference-text="multilingual button text">button to be placed</button>
</span>
</h2>
<p>Some content</p>
<p>Some content</p>
<p>Some content</p>
</div>
CSS:
body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
div {
margin: 0;
padding: 5px;
}
button {
margin: 0;
padding: 5px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
div#top-container {
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid green;
}
div#bottom-container {
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
#place-me {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 400px;
margin: 5px;
background: yellow;
}
#place-me::before {
z-index: 0;
/*visibility: hidden;*/
position: absolute;
content: attr(reference-text);
margin: 0 5px;
padding: 0;
background: gold;
right: 100%;
}
Notes:
that in the above code the second button is placed with left: 400px;. That is more or less what I want to change. But obviously left: 0 is not correct...
the visibility css rule for the pseudo element is currently commented out for demonstration purpose
keep in mind that the second button is *not* contained inside the top container, but actually logically below the title of the bottom container. The goal is to move it optically up into the top container which already is where close to what I want. Except for the horizontal alignment...
Upon request here is a screenshot:
It is taken from the fiddle I posted above. I added the red ellipse which shows what element pair I want to move and the left pointing arrow indicating where I want to move that too. I want to move it exactly that far, that the two tests "multilingual button text" are exactly placed on top of each other, but without specifying an explicit left placement obviously. That is why the pseudo element exists: as a dummy placeholder. I would then hide that pseudo element and have the second button placed exactly right of the first button, regardless of how long the translated text in there is.
So the final result should like like that:
OK, I invested some more time, since this issue popped up again after a regression in our code and I found, as often after allowing some time to pass, a logical and relatively clean solution:
I use the same stripped down code to for demonstration purposes.
The jsfiddle is based on the one provided in the question itself.
HTML: no real change, except for the reference-text having moved from button to container, for the why see below:
CSS:
* {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: Arial;
}
body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
}
span,
div {
margin: 0;
padding: 5px;
}
button {
margin: 0;
padding: 5px;
white-space: nowrap;
}
div#top-container {
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid green;
}
div#bottom-container {
width: 100%;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
span.into-top-container {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
pointer-events: none;
border: 1px solid transparent;
}
span.into-top-container::before {
visibility: hidden;
content: attr(reference-text);
position: relative;
margin-right: 5px;
padding: 5px;
border: 2px solid;
background: gold;
}
#place-me {
background: yellow;
pointer-events: all;
}
The basic change in strategy: it is the container holding the button to be placed that has to be positioned in a fixed manner, not that button itself (so the <span class="into-top-container">)! That allows to use the pseudo before element, now also anchored to that container, not the button, to take the space as required without actually getting part of the button itself.
Since that container is now place over the original multilingual button that one is not clickable any more. That issue is fixed by a css pointer-events set to none for the container and set to all for the placed button again. That makes the container itself simply ignore all events (clicks) and have them passed to the original button beneath.
I had to make sure that the font used inside the pseudo element is style exactly like the original multilingual button. That actually makes sense, since the font styling defines the actual width used by that button, so the actual width used by the pseudo element should be defined in exactly the same manner. In the example above I forced that by simply setting all elements font style rules to some fixed values (the initial * {...} in the CSS code). That can obviously also be done right inside the css rules for the pseudo element itself. I chose the more simple and brute variant here to keep the code clean.

chrome/safari display border around image

Chrome and Safari are displaying a border around the image, but I don't want one. There is no border in Mozilla. I've looked through the CSS and HTML, and I can't find anything that is fixing it.
Here is the code:
<tr>
<td class="near">
<a href="../index.html"class="near_place">
<img class="related_photo" />
<h4 class="nearby"> adfadfad </h4>
<span class="related_info">asdfadfadfaf</span>
</a>
...
CSS:
a.near_place {
border: none;
background: #fff;
display: block;
}
a.near_place:hover{
background-color: #F5F5F5;
}
h4.nearby {
height: auto;
width: inherit;
margin-top: -2px;
margin-bottom: 3px;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000;
display: inline;
}
img.related_photo {
width: 80px;
height: 60px;
border: none;
margin-right: 3px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
span.related_info {
width: inherit;
height: 48px;
font-size: 11px;
color: #666;
display: block;
}
td.near {
width: 25%;
height: 70px;
background: #FFF;
}
Sorry, I copied some old code before. Here is the code that is giving me trouble
Thanks in advance
Now I don't know if this is a bug with Chrome or not but the grey border appears when it can't find the image, the image url is broken or as in your case the src isn't there. If you give the image a proper URL and the browser finds it then the border goes away. If the image is to not have a src then you will need to remove the height and width.
sarcastyx is right, but if you want a workarround you can set the width and height to 0 and a padding to make space for your image.
If you want a icon of 36x36, you can set width and height to 0 and pading:18px
I know it is an old question. But another solution is to set the src to a 1x1 transparent pixel
<img class="related_photo"
src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" />
This works for me.
.related_photo {
content: '';
}
This may happen when the image is planted dynamically by css (e.g. by http://webcodertools.com/imagetobase64converter) in order to avoid extra HTTP requests. In this case we don't want to have a default image because of performance issues. I've solved it by switching from an img tag to a div tag.
img[src=""]{
content: "";
}
Lazy image solution (img loading="lazy")
If you are using lazy image loading you may notice this thin thin border before the image has loaded more than if you didn't.
You're more likely to see this for a horizontal scrolling gallery than a normal vertical scrolling webpage.
Why?
Lazy loading unfortunately only works on the vertical axis. I'm assuming this is because there's a high likelihood that you're going to scroll down, but not left to right. The whole point of lazy loading is to reduce images 'below the fold' from consuming unnecessary bandwidth.
Soution 1:
Detect when the user has scrolled (eg. using intersection observer) and then set loading="eager" on each image you want to immediately load.
I haven't actually tested this, and it's possible some browser's won't immediately load images - but it should be fine.
Solution 2:
Detect when the image has finished loading loaded and then fade it in.
img.setAttribute('imageLoaded', 'false');
img.onload = () =>
{
img.setAttribute('imageLoaded', 'true');
};
Then with css hide the image until it's loaded, after which it fades in nicely:
img
{
opacity: 1;
transition: opacity .5s;
}
img[imageLoaded='false']
{
opacity: 0; // hide image including gray outline
}
Also this behavior is subject to change, the browser may be clever enough to detect a horizontal scrolling element in future - but right now Chrome and Safari both seem to have a zero pixel window for looking for horizontal lazy images.
img.related_photo {
width: 80px;
height: 60px;
**border: solid thin #DFDFDF;** //just remove this line
margin-right: 3px;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
Inside img.related_photo, you need to change border: solid thin #DFDFDF; to border: 0.
I have fixed this issue with:
<img src="img/1.jpg" style="height:150px; position: absolute; right: 15px;">
The right: 15px is where you want the image to be shown, but you can place it where you want.
I just added src="trans.png", trans.png is just a 100x100 transparent background png from photoshop.
Worked like a charm no borders
To summarise the answers given already: your options to remove the grey border from an img:not([src]), but still display an image using background-image in Chrome/Safari are:
Use a different tag that doesn't have this behaviour. (Thanks #Druvision) Eg: div or span. Sad face: it's not quite as semantic.
Use padding to define the dimensions. (Thanks #Gonzalo)Eg padding: 16px 10px 1px; replaces width:20px; height:17px; Sad face: dimensions and intentions aren't as obvious in the CSS, especially if it's not an even square like #Gonalo's example.
