This is my code: http://jsfiddle.net/3GPTy/4/
CSS:
.price {
display: inline-block;
width: 19%;
background-color: pink;
margin-right: 8%;
}
.last {
margin-right: 0%
}
.container {
width: 780px;
margin:0px auto;
}
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
What I don't understand is, I have 4*19 + 3*8 which should equal 100% but still it doesn't fit on one line?
To elaborate further, here's a few ways of solving the problem:
Comment out the space
</div><!--
--><div>
Put the space in the tags
</div
><div>
Just shove it on one line
</div><div>
The last one especially, ideally you should be minifying your HTML - I do on-the-fly with PHP magic, and with that I can write readable HTML and not have spaces.
CSS
.price {
width: 19%;
background-color: pink;
margin-right: 8%;
float:left;
}

Its because of the how the browser treats fonts; between letters it puts a small sliver of whitespace to space the characters out correctly. Counterintuitively this idea is applied to all elements, so if you have two div's at 50% width they will not fit on the same line because the small white space added makes the total width greater than 100%.
To solve this add:
font-size: 0;
to the parent div. You can then set the desired font size in its children to remove the white spacing that would have otherwise been added
Here's more detail on the issue from this CSS Tricks article, as well as other soultions including floating the elements and using comments.

I want to add padding in my hr,
hr {
padding-left: 200px;
}
but it's not working. how to add padding in my hr ?
Padding does not work in hr.
You have to use margin instead:
hr {
margin-left: 200px;
}
And it'll work.
Before adding padding, you should have to set a width for your hr otherwise it will display in full width.
hr:first-of-type{
width: 100px;
padding-left: 10px;
}
hr:last-of-type{
width: 100px;
padding-left: 50px;
}
<hr>
<hr>
Thanks and best regards!
HR is slightly different from most HTML tags in its defined behaviour, as it tries to fill up the whole width of the containing element.
The only way I know to stop it expanding over any margins is to explicitly set a width attribute
hr {
width: 90%;
padding-left: 200px;
}
Even then, it seems to ignore the padding, so you should use a margin instead:
hr {
width: 90%;
margin-left: 200px;
}
It's still kind of scrappy and imprecise. If the ruled line needs to be in line with some other element, you're probably best ensuring that they are in the same DIV, so that the ruled line can start at the left margin of the div.
As Python mentioned, padding does not work with hr
A good solution would be to place the hr inside a div
Another workaround (not recommended, more like a band-aid) would be to create a div and apply styling to it to create a line, particularly add a single border to it
For example,
<div class="divider"></div>
And for the styling
.divider {
border-top: 1px solid #081521; /* Create the border, i.e. Divider */
margin: 1rem auto; /* Add a Margin and Center the divider */
}
Here's what I'm wanting to do. When the site gets down to medium and small sizes, I want 100% width with margin: 20px all around. I'm trying to not define specific pixels for the width, so that it's consistent across all devices as much as possible. I figured that my CSS would apply the 20px margin to the right side as well as the left, but it's only applying to the left and the right is going outside the window.
Here's my HTML:
<div class="swipe-content">
<div id="your-accounts">
<h1>Your Accounts</h1>
<p>
Your accounts data will go here.
</p>
</div>
</div>
And here's my CSS:
.swipe-content {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #fff;
margin-top: 20px;
}
Sorry to waste anyone's time with this, but it's late and I'm probably missing something really simple. I'm coming back to coding after a couple of years and any help would be appreciated.
In CSS when you specify a width, it usually means the inner-width not the outer-width.
outer-width = inner-width + margin + padding + border
In your case, your div is becoming 100% + 20px (left padding) + 20 px (right padding)
When you add display: block, the div will automatically try to take up as much width as possible.
Sure, in CSS 3 you could take advantage of the box-sizing property as focorner suggested. But to be compatible i would suggest removing width: 100% and adding display: block.
For this to work, you would need an outer div which has 100% width and is display:block
TL;DR
{
display: block;
// width: 100%; remove this
padding: 20px
}
One simple option would be to use:
.swipe-content {
box-sizing: border-box;
...
}
One way you could do this is by creating an outer div that fills the entire page and setting it to have a left and right padding of both 20px.
You could then put a div on the inside that fits 100% of the outer div.
#outer {
padding: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
#inner {
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
background-color: grey;
}
Here it is in action: https://jsfiddle.net/SplashHero/cb1xs67u/
you can do like this
.swipe-content {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #fff;
margin : 20px 20px 20px 20px;
}
I am trying to make a div with text and a div with a button fit side by side. It works fine until you make the screen really narrow. Is there a way to force them to be on the same line and for the first div to shrink to accommodate the min-width of the second?
http://jsfiddle.net/C3877/9/
To see what I mean, resize the window, reducing the width, until the div with the button is forced onto the second line. That is what I'd like to prevent.
Note: I only care if a suggested fix works properly in Chrome.
Instead of floats, you could use display: inline-block. This will keep things all on one line, and respect the min-width as well.
Inline-block fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/C3877/8/
In addition, since you only care about Chrome, you could look into flexible boxes
A (quick) flex fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/C3877/11/
You can use negative margin-left for the floated right element. Note that this solution keeps using float for both the left and right divs, without using float, you have dozens of solutions (as some of other answers pointed out).
#right_div {
...
margin-left:-100%;
}
Note that all the next content should be wrapped in a block element and use clear:both. I also added a sample of such an element with background:green in this DEMO.
Appending this does the trick I suppose:
#media (max-width:515px) {
#left_div { width: 100%; margin-right: -100px }
}
UPDATED
You could use margin and absolute positioning:
CSS
#parent_div {
width: 100%;
height: 10%;
position: relative;
min-width: 40px;
}
#left_div {
width: 80%;
min-width: 100px;
height: 80%;
float: left;
background-color: #000;
color: #FFF;
}
#right_div {
width: 15%;
min-width: 100px;
float: right;
background-color: blue;
position:absolute;
right: 0px;
}
input[type=button] {
font-size: 2rem;
}

You will have to play with some of the css to get it just right when you move it on your website. But this is a sure quick fix.
I have a container div and 5 child div's with
{display: inline-block}
so they appear next to each other. Each of the child div's have a height of 20px, but the container grows to a height of 24px. Why does this happen?
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/VHkNx/
Inline block elements still take care of the line-height/font-size. So adding this:
line-height: 0;
to #container will fix it.
Demo
Try before buy
Once you're using the inline-block display, your elements behaves similarly to words and letters. Whitespaces and line heights are rendered as well and it might cause some unexpected results.
One way of solving this is to give the container font-size: 0 setting (of course you can still give the child elements themselves their own font size).
jsFiddle Demo
P.S - line-height: 0 will also work.
One simple way of fixing this is to add vertical-align: top to the child elements:
.thing {
vertical-align: top;
display: inline-block;
background-color: Red;
height: 20px;
width: 18%;
margin-left: 1.25%;
margin-right: 1.25%;
}
This way, you don't need to adjust line heights or font sizes.
As noted earlier, a similar layout can be realized using floats. Both approaches are valid.
See demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/74Y2V/
Inline-block elements are placed as block on the base line of a text line, as they are inline elements, so it's the space from the base line to the bottom of the text line that takes up space.
You can use floating elements instead of inline elements:
#container {
background-color: Green;
width: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.thing {
float: left;
background-color: Red;
height: 20px;
width: 18%;
margin-left: 1.25%;
margin-right: 1.25%;
}
#first {margin-left: 0px;}
#last {margin-right: 0px;}

Easiest way is not to give them display: inline-block, but use float: left; . All elements will float next to each other. Good luck!
I'd like to have a div that is centered on the document. The div should take all the space it can to display the content and the content itself should be aligned to the left.
What I want to create is image gallery with rows and columns that are center and when you add a new thumb it will be aligned to the left.
Code:
<div id="out">
<div id="inside">
<img src="http://www.babybedding.com/fabric/solid-royal-blue-fabric.jpg"/>
<img src="http://www.babybedding.com/fabric/solid-royal-blue-fabric.jpg"/>
<img src="http://www.babybedding.com/fabric/solid-royal-blue-fabric.jpg"/>
<img src="http://www.babybedding.com/fabric/solid-royal-blue-fabric.jpg"/>
<img src="http://www.babybedding.com/fabric/solid-royal-blue-fabric.jpg"/>
</div>
</div>
and the CSS:
img {
height: 110px;
width: 110px;
margin: 5px;
}
#out {
width: 100%;
}
#inside {
display: inline-block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
text-align: left;
background: #e2e2f2;
}
Live version here: http://jsfiddle.net/anPF2/10/
As you will notice, on right side of "#inside" there is space that I want to remove, so this block will be displayed until the last square and all of it will be centered aligned.
EDIT:
Please view this photo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qy6trnmdks73hy5/css.jpg
It explains better what I'm trying to get.
EDIT 2:
I've uloaded another photo to show how it should adjust on lower resolution screens. notice the margins on the left and right. This is what I'm trying to get (unsuccessfully so far :\ )

EDIT 3 / ANSWER
well, thank you everybody for trying solve my problem. I solved this problem using JS, with a function that listens to a screen resize event. The functions checks the size of the right margin and add padding to the left so all the content is centered. I didn't find a solution using CSS. If you have one, I'd very much like to know it.
Thanks eveyone!
Specify a width for #inside to center it. I used width: 120px. Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/anPF2/7/
Additionally, CSS should be used for the height and width of images, not attributes such as height="300". The fiddle reflects this change.
use of display:inline-block takes extra margins. To remove those set font-size:0px to the #out container. See the demo
This is what you want to achieve? demo
img {
height: 110px;
width: 110px;
margin: 5px;
display: inline-block;
}
#out {
width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#inside {
position: relative;
background: #e2e2f2;
}
You shouldn't use Pixels when laying out your css, it makes it very rigid and causes possible problems for people with high resolution screens and low resolution screens. Its best to declare it as a % or em (% is still probably slightly better when working with widths, but em for height is perfect)
First, the "outer" div must be declared to be smaller than what it is inside. For instance if "outer" is inside body:
#outer{
width: 100%;
}
#inside{
width: 80%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#inside img{
height: 110px;
width: 110px;
margin-left: 1%;
margin-right: 1%;
margin-top: 0.5em;
float: left;
}
Okay so, since "inside" is 80% of "outer"'s width, the margin-left:auto, margin-right: auto together make the "inside" div center within the "outer".
Setting the float property to left moves all the imgs of inside to always try to move left while it can.
EDIT: I fixed this after looking at your picture you provided.
I haven't tested this but I believe it should work, let me know if you are having more problems.
To make the boxes not go the entire width of the page, try setting the width less than 100% on #out and add margin:auto; to center it.
#out {
width: 90%;
margin:auto;
}
