I don't know if this is possible easily, but is there a CSS style to align the top of the tallest character with the border of its container?
HTML
<div><h1>The "T" of this h1 needs to align top (touch the border)</h1></div>
CSS
div {
background:orange;
}
h1 {
vertical-align:top; //does not seem to work?
}
JS-Fiddle
Currently, it looks like this
But it should look like this
Or like this (line-height = minimum?)
How can I achieve this?
This is kind of random, because it depends on the proportions of your font, but you can try something like this:
h1 {line-height: .9;}
Adjust the line-height value to suit the font. E.g. line-height: 32px; font-size: 38px;, or line-height: 0.9em; font-size: 2em; etc.
If there isn't enough orange at the bottom, you could always add some bottom border:
border-bottom: 20px solid orange;
Try below dear
div {
background:orange;
}
h1 {
position:relative;
top:-8px;
}

Im trying to accomplish the next situation;
If got a h1 tag, and right of it i want a small line (separator.png)
But my image keeps crossing the h1 text..
http://i57.tinypic.com/2m30l51.png
I've got a example of how i need it to be;
http://themes.webcreations907.com/ninezeroseven/option-two/#prettyPhoto
Those titles: "Take a Look, Recent Works"
HTML is like this;
<div class="titleBar">
<h1 class="left"><span>DIENSTEN</span></h1>
</div>
CSS;
#diensten .titleBar{
background:url('images/sep.png') repeat-x;
background-position:center;
}
#diensten .titleBar h1{
display: inline-block;
}
If tried a lot of things, even copied the code from the original site, but actually i have nog idea what to do.. Can someone help me with it?
Thanks
UPDATE
So i've tried all the things you guys answered.
So far none of them are working for me..
First;
The background tag, smart idea but my page background is transparant.. So transparant on transparant won't work. And even if i make the background transparent, the line will shine trough it. Are there any solutions to this problem? Because its a easy way to do it with a background tag.
Second;
Paulie_D's solution, i actually don't understand it.. Not advanced enough is guess, tried copying the exact code and change the parameters so it fits in my coding, but didn't work.. Can you help me making it fit my coding?
Simply give your h1 element a background of its own which matches the background of the page.
#diensten .titleBar h1 {
background: #f00;
display: inline-block;
}
You can then space the line apart from the h1 element by introducing some right padding (which will extend the background past the end of the text):
#diensten .titleBar h1 {
...
padding-right: 10px;
}
Your div titleBar is around the h1 title, I don't think using inline-block will solve this.
You should just wrap all around a div :
<div class="titleWraper">
<h1>DIENSTEN</h1>
<div class="titleBar">
</div>
</div>
and your css like this :
#diensten .titleBar{
background:url('images/sep.png') repeat-x;
background-position:center;
display: inline-block;
}
#diensten .titleWraper h1{
display: inline-block;
}
You can get the same kind of style. But the thing, they used some background color around h1 tag to avoid to show the stripped line(used as a background for titlebar). If you are ok with the effect do the following. Add your css like below and check the jsfiddle below.
.titleBar{
background:url('http://themes.webcreations907.com/ninezeroseven/option-two/wp- content/themes/ninezeroseven/assets/img/theme/sep.png') repeat-x 0 55%;
background-position:center;
padding-top:0;
}
.titleBar h1{
display: inline-block;
background-color:#f2f2f2;
}

A pseudo element will work although it does require an additional span but you can dispense with the image if required.
Codepen.io Demo
HTML
<h1 class="left"><span>Some Text</span></h1>
CSS
h1 {
overflow:hidden; /* hides all extra pixels */
font-size:2em;
}
h1 > span {
diaplay:inline-block;
position:relative;
}
h1.left > span:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
left:100%;
top: 50%;
height: 1px;
width:2000px; /* some really large number*/
background:red;
margin-left:0.5em; /* or remove and add padding-right to span */
}
My CSS:
h1 {
background-color: #f7953d;
color: #FFF;
width: 100%;
padding: 6px 0 6px 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
My HTML
<h1>Hello World</h1>
The background color is always stretched to 100% of the screen. How do I make the background color stop after "World" in the h1 tag, and not go all the way to the end of the screen?
H1 is by default a block element and so will span the full width of its parent container you want to make it an inline element (much like a span) in order for it to only be as wide as its contents.
There are 2 possible solutions dependent on your compatability needs
display:inline;
will achieve the effect your after however it does mean that whatever follows your H1 could appear on the same line.
display:inline-block;
Has the effect your after while still forcing anything following it to appear below the H1 the only downside to this is it can throw up some issues in IE<8 see quirksmode for more details
You can do this by adding display: inline-block; to the CSS for your <h1>. This will make it use only as much width as its contents and still respect the margin and padding you give it.
I would suggest something like this:
HTML:
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<div class="clear"></div>
<p>Elements after unafected by float</p>
CSS:
h1 {
background-color: #f7953d;
color: #FFF;
padding: 6px 0 6px 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
float:left;
}
.clear {
clear:both;
}
This works consistently (unlike inline-block which isn't supported by all browsers).
An inline of the element is probably not what you want since you require padding.
I'm doing a menu for a restaurant that they dynamiclly add. it looks like this
Dish Name Price
Content in the dish,Content in the dish,Content in the dish,
Content in the dish,Content in the dish.
What i want to do is to get the blank space dotted, with . or dotted border.
But i cannot figure out how to get the css to autoadjust the width of the blank space div.
The dishnames could be longer then "dishname".
Any1 have a solution for this?
EDIT
The price and name is in 2 divs already with floats on them
.dishHead
{
font-family:Verdana;
font-size: 18px;
color:#262626;
float:left;
font-weight:200;
}
.dishPrice
{
font-family:Verdana;
font-size: 14px;
color:#262626;
float:right;
}
Edit2:
The whole thing is structured as below:
a div that floats right or left
the left floating head, the right floating price, and a description below.
I need a div between the head and price without affecting the whole div it lies in
I think I would do it with a background image on the whole of the "heading" part then use a background color on the name and price div to cover the image however that will only work if the background is a plain colour.
In answer to your question to get a third div to take up the remaining space between the left and right divs you would use overflow:hidden on it so an example using a dotted border might look like this:
Example Fiddle
CSS:
.dishHead {
font-family:Verdana;
font-size: 18px;
color:#262626;
float:left;
font-weight:200;
}
.dishPrice {
font-family:Verdana;
font-size: 14px;
color:#262626;
float:right;
}
.spacer {
overflow: hidden;
border-bottom: 3px dotted #000;
}
HTML:
<div class="dishHead">Dish Name</div>
<div class="dishPrice">Price</div>
<div class="spacer"> </div>
<div class="dishContent">
Content in the dish,Content in the dish, Content in the dish,
Content in the dish,Content in the dish.
</div>
You could place lots of dots in an element with dishname and use the fallowing css:
.dishname {
width:400px;
overflow:hidden;
white-space:nowrap;
}
For example here http://jsfiddle.net/jitendravyas/5Wqn4/1/
I want to take <h1> over red area. How to make is possible without using image and another added more element.
using border is not necessary I just want background like this.
Without using any extra markup, there's a couple of things you could do.
Apply a negative top margin on the h1:
h1{margin-top:-150px;}
http://jsfiddle.net/5Wqn4/2/
Position the h1 absolutely:
h1{
position:absolute;
top:50px;
left: 50px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/5Wqn4/3/
Without your body border:
Without using the border you've added to the body you can simply style the h1 as you require:
body {background:yellow;margin:0;padding:0;}
h1{
background-color:red;
margin:0;
height:150px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/5Wqn4/5/
UPDATE
Further to your comments below, here's a sample that probably matches more what you need:
http://jsfiddle.net/SbGDQ/
You can use this CSS rule:
h1 {
border-top: 20px solid red;
display: block;
}
body {background: yellow;padding: 0px; margin: 0px;}
h1{background: red;line-height: 10em;margin: 0px;}
I'm trying to create a "cancel" link that looks like an x with a solid red circle behind it.
Here is the CSS:
.circle {
display:inline;
padding-left:4px;
padding-right:4px;
background:rgb(196,15,24);
-moz-border-radius:10px;
-webkit-border-radius:10px;
}
.circle a {
font-size:10px;
text-decoration:none;
color:#fff;
}
This is the HTML code:
<div class='circle'>
x
</div>
It ends up looking like this: alt text http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/472563dfe4.png.
How do I move the x so that it is centered within the circle? Changing the margin-top or bottom doesn't seem to work...
If you relatively position your a tag you can fix it:
.circle a {
font-size:10px;
text-decoration:none;
color:#fff;
position:relative; top:-2px;
}
Adjust the top value to your liking.
Your font must accomodate characters like É, q, X and x, etc and still be displayed over background whatever the height of the character is.
I found that using an X (or text-transform: uppercase; obviously) and font-family: monospace; was an improvement with your code, though not perfect. Solution provided by mhr is useful even with a monospace font.
I am doing something similar, and using the following to center my text:
text-align: center;
margin: auto;
position: relative;
