I want to imitate fraction numbers like this: http://projectpophealth.org/images/Multi-Provider_Measure_Page.png
I've already seen alternative ways to display fractions: What would be the math symbol for representing a fraction?
But I really like the look and feel of the horizontal symbol. How do I display it in HTML?
I've made up a simple plain html/css solution, you may want to adjust the font to one more suitable by the way.
jsFiddle
<body>
<div class="fraction">
<p class="num">6</p>
<p class="dem">14</p>
</div>
</body>
.fraction{
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
position:relative;
padding:0 1em;
}
.fraction > .num {
border-bottom: 2px solid #808080;
padding:4px;
margin:0 0 4px 0;
}
.fraction > .dem{
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.fraction > .num:before{
content: "(";
font-size:2em;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0.2em;
}
.fraction > .dem:after{
content: ")";
font-size:2em;
height:100%;
position:absolute;
right:0;
top:0.2em;
}
As you commented that its difficult for you to do so, here's the answer. I've used inline elements and I am turning them to a block level so that they render one below another, and for separating them out, I use border-bottom on the first span element.
Rest, for the top offset, I use position: relative; to settle it down... Rest is self explanatory.
Demo
HTML
<div>(<span><span>18</span><span>26</span></span>)</div>
CSS
div {
font-size: 40px;
color: #515151;
}
div > span {
font-size: 18px;
display: inline-block;
}
div > span > span {
display: block;
padding: 0 5px;
position: relative;
top: 5px;
}
div > span > span:first-child {
border-bottom: 1px solid #515151;
color: green;
}
div > span > span:last-child {
color: tomato;
}
I feel that these types of expressions or over complex ones will get cumbersome to do with CSS Only, hence, take a look at Mathjax

I created multi-line-padded text based on Matthew Pennell's solution (codepen by CSS Tricks). In Chrome all looks fine, but in Firefox height of span elements bigger than height of their ancestor. If I adjust vertical padding for Firefox, in Chrome will be same problem, and vice versa.
Why it happens? What the real technical reasons of this problem?
HTML Code:
<div class="padded-multiline">
<h1>
<strong>How do I add padding to subsequent lines of an inline text element?</strong>
</h1>
</div>
CSS Code:
:root {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 20px;
}
.padded-multiline {
line-height: 1.3;
padding: 2px 0;
border-left: 20px solid #c0c;
width: 400px;
margin: 20px auto;
}
.padded-multiline h1 {
background-color: #c0c;
padding: 4px 0;
color: #fff;
display: inline;
margin: 0;
}
.padded-multiline h1 strong {
position: relative;
left: -10px;
}
Setting a line-height: 1; on strong will fix the problem also read my comment.
Chrome and Firefox seems to use different text layout system.
In Chrome it will floor the line-height attribute and Firefox seems to use the correct one.
To achieve the same effect for title, just use only the outline.
H1 does not need strong.
.padded-multiline {
line-height: 1.3;
padding: 2px 0;
width: 400px;
margin: 20px auto;
}
.padded-multiline h1 {
background-color: #c0c;
padding:1px;
color: #fff;
display: inline;
outline: 10px solid #c0c;
margin: 0;
font-size:16px;
}
<div class="padded-multiline">
<h1>How do I add padding to subsequent lines of an inline text element?</h1>
</div>
Here is codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/vgRvjM
If you need exactly visual (that means less purple space from top and bottom, you can use for example border from after and before):
.padded-multiline:before{
content:'';
display:block;
border:5px solid #fff;
position:relative;
left:-10px;
top:-3px;
}
.padded-multiline:after{
content:'';
display:block;
border:5px solid #fff;
position:relative;
left:-10px;
bottom:-3px;
}

Unfortunately, there isn't a full and clean crossbrowser workaround. Because different UAs render text different, height of each textline may be taller a bit (or vice verca). So, I create a solution based on SCSS calculations of required box' sizes, and hide artefacts via overflow property.
Here is my solution, if you meet the same problem: http://codepen.io/ifiri/pen/ygEeeL
HTML:
<p class="multiline-text">
<span class="multiline-text__wrapper multiline-text__wrapper--outer">
<span class="multiline-text__wrapper multiline-text__wrapper--left">
<span class="multiline-text__wrapper multiline-text__wrapper--right">Multiline Padded text, which looks great on all browsers. No artefacts, no hacks, all clear and flexy, all alignment support. Change SCSS variables for see how it works.</span>
</span>
</span>
</p>
SCSS:
/*
Variables
*/
$base-line-height: 1.75;
$base-font-size: 1.25em;
$multiline-padding-base: ($base-line-height / 2) * 1em;
$multiline-padding-horizontal: $multiline-padding-base;
$multiline-padding-vertical: $multiline-padding-base - (1em / 2);
$multiline-bg-color: #a5555a;
$multiline-font-color: #fff;
/*
= Snippet Styles
This code is required
*/
.multiline-text {
color: $multiline-font-color;
padding: 0px $multiline-padding-horizontal;
// hide line-height artefacts
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
.multiline-text__wrapper {
background-color: $multiline-bg-color;
padding: $multiline-padding-vertical 0px;
}
.multiline-text__wrapper--outer {
// Inner padding between text lines
line-height: $base-line-height;
}
.multiline-text__wrapper--left {
position: relative;
left: -($multiline-padding-horizontal);
}
.multiline-text__wrapper--right {
position: relative;
right: -($multiline-padding-horizontal / 2);
}
When you hover over the paragraph text in JS Fiddle the image gets covered with the background. Using z-index everywhere I could think of doesn't have any effect. (I left the useless z-index stuff in there so show you what I tried.) I also tried pointer-events: none; in various places.
I also tried this type of thing elm1:hover elm2{}, but that didn't help. I'm new to CSS and I'm applying what I have searched and found.
Edit: The problem: on hover background color covers image

}
p {
word-wrap: break-word;

margin: 0;
padding: 10px 20px;
font-size: 16px;
}
Here is my demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/pxD33/
PS - needs to be responsive and solution all in CSS and HTML.
<a> is by default an inline-level element. Once you set display: block to it, it fixes the issue.
.three-cols a {
display: block;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/teddyrised/pxD33/2/
p/s: You don't need z-index for your case. You can safely remove all of them.
Anything you use a z-index with has to also have a position attribute.
I hope this helps!
You can get rid of the z-indexes, and then change
.three-cols a p:hover {
background-color: #ecebeb;
}
to
.three-cols:hover {
background-color: #ecebeb;
}
Updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/pxD33/1/
updated fiddle: Fiddle
just change anchor's display to block:
.three-cols a {
display:block;
position: relative;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
}
and give hover class to a not p:
.three-cols a:hover {
background-color: #ecebeb;
}
As #Terry said, setting display: block on your three-cols a element should do the trick.
If you want to have a "free hanging" picture on the left of your text, you could also use a media object.
Simply add the following rules
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
to col-img and three-cols p.
You can read more about the media object here.
Is there a way to display a line next to a header using CSS? Here's an image of what I'm talking about:
I could do it with a static background image, but that'd require custom CSS for every heading. And I could do some hacky stuff using :after and background colors on the h1, but it wouldn't look right against a gradient background.
I'd like to do this with CSS, not JavaScript. If it doesn't work in older browsers, that's fine.
UPDATE:
In the past I've done something like this:
<h1><span>Example Text</span></h1>
h1 {background-image:url("line.png");}
h1 span {background-color:#FFF;dislpay:inline-block;padding-right:10px}
While that works, it's hacky, and it doesn't work well with gradient backgrounds, because the span has to have a solid background color.
What I'm really looking for is something like this:
<h1>Example Text</h1>
h1 {background-image:url("line.png");} /* but don't appear under the example text */
I misspoke about the :after thing in the original post, I was thinking of another issue I had in the past.
You could do something like the following:
HTML
<div class="border">
<h1>Hello</h1>
</div>
CSS
h1 {
position: relative;
bottom: -17px;
background: #fff;
padding-right: 10px;
margin: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
div.border {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}
Here is the JsFiddle to the above code.
After doing some more research, I think I found the best solution:
h2 {
color: #F37A1F;
display: block;
font-family: "Montserrat", sans-serif;
font-size: 24px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 25px;
margin: 0;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
h2:after {
background: url("../images/h2.png") repeat-x center;
content: " ";
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
}
h2 > span {
display: table-cell;
padding: 0 9px 0 0;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Modified from: How can I make a fieldset legend-style "background line" on heading text?
It still requires some extra markup, unfortunately, but it's the most minimal that I've found. I'll probably just write some jQuery to add the span automatically to the h2s.
Here is one way of doing it.
Start with the following HTML:
<h1>News<hr class="hline"></h1>
and apply the following CSS:
h1 {
background-color: tan;
display: table;
width: 100%;
}
.hline {
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
border: none;
}
.hline:after {
content: '';
border-top: 1px solid blue;
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
See demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/Dsa9R/
You can repurpose the hr element to add the line after the text.
The advantage here is that you don't have to wrap the text with some other element.
Note: You can rewrite the CSS selectors and avoid declaring a class name and save a bit of typing.
There is some text whose formatting I would like to render in HTML. Here is an image:
Note the gray lines with the bullet points and the paragraph numbers. The bullets should be centered on the page and the numbers should be justified right.
I've been trying to think of how to do this in HTML and am coming up blank. How would you capture this formatting?
You can use the :before and :after psuedo-elements to great effect here:
http://jsfiddle.net/yNnv4/1/
This will work in all modern browsers and IE8+. If IE7 support is required, this answer is not for you :)
#container {
counter-reset: nums;
}
p {
position: relative;
margin: 21px 0;
}
p:before {
content: '\2022 \2022';
font-size: 2em;
position: absolute;
top: -8px;
left: 0;
line-height: 1px;
color: #888;
width: 100%;
text-align: center
}
p:after {
content: counter(nums);
counter-increment: nums;
font-size: 1.5em;
position: absolute;
top: -8px;
right: 0;
line-height: 1px;
color: #888;
font-family: sans-serif
}
About the counter properties:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS_Counters
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#counter
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/generate.html#propdef-counter-increment
It's not possible to (automatically) increment the bullets.
However, it can be done with some dubious repetition:
http://jsfiddle.net/N4txk/1/
p:before { content: '\2022' }
p+p:before { content: '\2022 \2022' }
p+p+p:before { content: '\2022 \2022 \2022' }
/* .... */
(alternatively, :nth-child can be repeated in the same way: http://jsfiddle.net/N4txk/ - but it won't work in IE8; there will only be two bullets)
There is an upper limit on the number of bullets it would be sensible to have, so I think it would be acceptable to copy and paste that as many times as required.
How about something like this?
http://jsfiddle.net/6eTCf/
<div class="separator">
* <div class="page_number">1</div>
</div>
.separator{
margin: 5px 0 5px 0;
color:gray;
position:relative;
text-align: center;
}
.page_number{
position:absolute;
right: 3px;
top: 0;
}
I would float the number right and center the remaining contents (the bullet points). If you give the remaining contents an equal left and right margin larger than the numbers are wide, the contents will be centered.
I would wrap the whole thing in a div, then use relative/absolute positioning between the wrapper and the paragraph number div to get the numbers on the right-hand side like that.
Here's a fiddle showing how to do it.
There are a couple ways I can think of.
Add a <div> between the paragraphs, then add two <p>'s: <p class="dot"></p> and <p class="pnum">1</p>.
Style the <div> to the width of the the paragraphs, and set in the CSS the following:
.dot{ text-align: center; }
.pnum{ float: right; }
There are several ways I can think of:
Float + absolute position (I'll let the purists explain this one)
Old style table (I'll explain this since it's the easiest):
If the total width of the area is, say, 300px
<table><tr>
<td width="30"></td>
<td width="240" align="center">bullets</td>
<td width="30" align="right">number</td>
</tr></table>
Many people prefer using pure CSS, but I like my tables, they just work for me
`#container {
counter-reset: nums;
}
p {
position: relative;
margin: 21px 0;
}
p:before {
content: '\2022 \2022';
font-size: 2em;
position: absolute;
top: -8px;
left: 0;
line-height: 1px;``
color: #888;
width: 100%;
text-align: center
}
p:after {
content: counter(nums);
counter-increment: nums;
font-size: 1.5em;
position: absolute;
top: -8px;
right: 0;
line-height: 1px;
color: #888;
font-family: sans-serif
}`
Problem
I am working on a project to theme a website, but I am not allowed to change the HTML or JavaScript. I can only update the CSS stylesheet and add/update images.
Requrements
I need to style a h3 tag to have an
underline/border after the content.
This h3 will be used multiple times
on the page, so the conent length can
vary
The solution needs to be
cross-browser (IE 6/7/8, FF 3, &
Safari)
Sample Code
<div class="a">
<div class="b"><!-- etc --></div>
<div class="c">
<h3>Sample Text To Have Line Afterwards</h3>
<ul><!-- etc --></ul>
<p class="d"><!-- etc --></p>
</div>
</div>
Sample Output
Sample Text to Have Line Afterwards ______________________________________
Another Example __________________________________________________________
And Yet Another Example __________________________________________________
Notes
I think #sample:after { content: "__________"; } option wouldn't work since that would only be the correct length for one of the tags
I tried a background-image, but if it gave me problems if I gave it one with a large width
Using text-indent didn't see to give me the effect I was looking for
I tried a combination of border-bottom and text-decoration: none, but that didn't seem to work either
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
This will work if class 'c' is always the parent of the h3...
.c {
position: relative;
margin-top: 25px;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0px;
}
h3 {
font-size:20px;
margin-top: 0px;
position: absolute;
top: -18px;
background: #fff;
}
It lets the container have the border, then uses absolute positioning to move the h3 over it, and the background color lets it blot out the portion of c's border that it's covering.
try attaching a background image to class c of a repeating underline, then add a background color to the h3 to match the background of the container. I believe that you would have to float the h3 left in order to get the width to collapse. does that make sense?
.c {
background: #ffffff url(underline.gif) left 20px repeat-x;
}
.c h3 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 2px 0;
float: left;
font-size: 20px;
background: #ffffff;
}
.c h3 { display: inline; background-color: white; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1em; }
.c ul { margin-top: -1px; border-top: 1px solid; padding-top: 1em; /* simulate margin with padding */ }
http://besh.dwich.cz/tmp/h3.html
H3 {
border: 1px solid red;
border-width: 0 0 1px 0;
text-indent: -60px;
}
You need to know the width of the text, but works pretty well.
The only solution I've imagined so far is to make a PNG or GIF image, with 1px height and a very large width (depends on your project, could be like 1x2000px), and do something like this:
h3#main-title { background: url(line.png) no-repeat bottom XYZem; }
where the XYZ you'd set manually, for each title, in 'em' units. But I can't figure out a 100% dynamic solution for this one, without using JS or adding extra markup.
this worked for me
div.c
{
background-image:url(line.gif);background-repeat:repeat-x;width:100%;height:20px;
}
div.c h3
{
height:20px;background-color:white;display:inline;
}
you make the div the width of your content
then you set the background of the h3 to the background of your page. this will then overlap the background imageof the full div. You might want to play with background positioning depending on your image
Can you pad content in the UL tags? If so, this might work:
h3 { display: inline; margin: 0; padding: 0 10px 0 0; float: left;}
ul { display: inline; border-bottom: 1px solid black; }
check source code of: http://nonlinear.cc/lab/friends/elijahmanor.html
then again i have NO IDEA how to control the end of the line.
Assuming that you're working with dynamic content, the best I could suggest is to accept graceful degradation and use a mix of great_llama and Bohdan Ganicky
Imagine:
A long title that will wrap to two lines___________________
and leave you like this in great_llama's solution
and nothing appearing at all with Bohdan Ganicky's solution if ul isn't immediate preceded by ul.
Solution:
.c h3 { display: inline; background-color: white; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1em; }
.c + * { margin-top: -1px; border-top: 1px solid; padding-top: 1em; /* simulate margin with padding */ }
We care about IE6, but accept that this is an aesthetic touch and IE6 users will not suffer. If you can't get the designer to accept this AND you can't alter the HTML, then do something else (before you find another job ;))
Here's a better answer:
.c {
background: url('line.png') repeat-x 0 20px;
}
H3 {
background-color: white;
display: inline;
position: relative;
top: 1px;
}
Use a small, 1px height, couple px wide image as your underline and occlude it with a background color on your H3.
h3:after {
content: '___________';
}
