I create an empty span with css border: 1px solid #333 but didn't see any working separator. I think there must be something inside the span? how to create a border with empty tag? a hr tag is too ugly.
You must give it a size, and display it as a block. Try this.
span.separator {
border-top: 1px solid #333;
width: 100%;
height: 1px;
display: block;
}
JSFiddle
hr tag is not ugly if you use border: 0; and than use border-top: 1px solid #000;, the 3d style of hr is just applied by browser, you can alter it the way I suggested.
hr {
border: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
margin: 10px auto; /* For vertical spacing */
}
Demo
I would suggest you to use <hr /> as semantic goes, it will give a meaning to your page and will also save you few characters in the source.
Secondly about the span tag, it's an inline tag, to span it 100% you need to make it display: block;.
span.separator {
border-top: 1px solid #000;
display: block;
margin: 10px auto; /* For vertical spacing */
}
For more information on inline span you can refer my answer here.
A span is not a block element, in order to get what you want, you would have to give it a height and set it as display:block or inline-block.
If you want the border to be only on one side you can use border-right or border-left;
test <span style="display:inline-block;height:13px;border:1px solid black;"></span> test

I want to add a <div> container in place of a check box. But the <div> container takes up the entire line. I tried all sorts of "floats" but none worked.
here is my css code:
.checkbox{
border-bottom: 3px solid black;
border-top: 3px solid black;
border-right: 3px solid black;
border-left: 3px solid black;
width:15px;
height:15px;
}
With The inline div will not occupy the line
use this
.checkbox{
border-bottom: 3px solid black;
border-top: 3px solid black;
border-right: 3px solid black;
border-left: 3px solid black;
width:15px;
height:15px;
display:inline;
}
Style it with this: .inline {display: inline}
Use inline tag i.e.
inline { display : inline}
Inline is doing the trick, but you are really just avoiding the problem. You could have just set a width on the div and the label or whatever and floated them. By default block-level elements are 100% width. At some point, you are going to want to have some of the options that being display block allows - and inline doesn't. And you will probably also want to have some of the options that inline elements have, like vertical alignment. I suggest trying inline-block - I've been getting tons of use out of it. Give hit a spin: fiddle
HTML
<input type="checkbox" name="check-box-01" />
<div class="check-box-replacement"></div>
<label class="check-box-label" for="check-box-01">
Label for this checkbox
</label>
CSS
input[type="checkbox"] {
display: none;
}
.check-box-replacement {
width: 2em;
height: 10em; /* just to prove a point */
background-color: red;
}
.check-box-replacement, .check-box-label {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Essentially i have a pricing table with the class of .priceblock, and i have a border-bottom on my <li> tags, i simply want it to change color when i hover on the priceblock. The code to me seems correct but nothing changes.
Heres the initial li tag:
ul.pricingtable .priceblock .contents li {
font-family: 'OpenSans';
font-size: 13px;
width: 81.904762%;
height: 35px;
margin:0 auto;
padding: 10px 0;
border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(221,221,221,1);
}
And here hover state css code, this hover class works for he coloring of texts, but i can't change the border color.
.priceblock:hover .contents li {
border-color: rgba(255,117,109,1);
}
Any ideas?
I think you might need to change the hover state from.
.priceblock:hover .contents li {
border-color: rgba(255,117,109,1);
}
To:
.contents li:hover {
border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(255,117,109,1);
}
HTML may be able to read it better.
The css attributes need to be equals.
for example:
If in the first style block you write "ul.pricingtable" then you need to do that in the second block two.
And in the content of block, they need to be same.
for example:
border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(221,221,221,1);
and
border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(255,117,109,1);
You cann'ot use once with "border-bottom" and then with "border-color" only...
What is going on with rendering the padding of a fieldset. It behaves as expected in FF and Chrome but fails in IE. This is the code im talking about:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<fieldset>
<legend>Hello world!</legend>
<div>Lorem ipsum</div>
</fieldset>
</body>
</html>
And this is the css
fieldset {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 30px;
}
fieldset legend {
background-color: silver;
}
fieldset div {
border: 1px dotted silver;
}
Can also be seen here:
http://jsfiddle.net/nRAGM/6/
So my question is: how to get the above html to display as intended in IE?
The following code is cross-browser compatible.
You can control the indent of the fieldset legend independently. In padding the fieldset you also indent the legend. While this may be the desired effect in some cases, the following method offers more flexibility. Also adding the margin to the inner div will give you better control of your layout (because adding padding to a container can add unwanted width).
http://jsfiddle.net/nRAGM/35/
fieldset {
border: 2px solid silver;
}
fieldset legend {
border: 2px solid silver;
margin-left: 30px;
}
fieldset div {
border: 1px dotted silver;
margin: 30px;
}
Adding display:block to fieldset styling should solve your problem. It worked for me! Try out.
or the really naughty hack (or put it in a conditional [lte IE 8] CSS) version.
fieldset {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 30px;
}
fieldset legend {
background-color: silver;
margin-bottom: 30px\9; /* IE7/8 needs this - same value as top padding on fieldset */
}
fieldset div {
border: 1px dotted silver;
}
margining the bottom of the label the same as the fieldset's top padding does the trick too. obviously no other browser should get both
PS: I think this works for IE6 too
What is the modern way of making a line half way across the screen? I saw this in a tutorial and it looks a bit old fashioned now.
Like:
<hr size="6" width="50%">
How would you do something similar if you were making a webpage now?
You can continue to use <hr />, but I would suggest omitting the inline attributes. It is just another element, and you can move your styling information to css:
hr {
width:50%;
}
You can use CSS to style the line
hr{
width:50%;
}
HTML:
<hr />
CSS:
hr { width: 50%; }
This should be controlled in CSS using something like:
hr {
width: 50%;
}
You can change borders etc too. Just make sure you reset the borders and backgrounds as different browsers use different methods to style it
Using a <div> and some styling:
#line {
width: 50%;
margin: 0 auto; /* Centered */
height: 4px; /* The border adds to height */
border: 1px solid #888888;
border-bottom: 1px solid #E9E9E9;
border-right: 1px solid #E9E9E9;
}
I'm trying to use divs instead of tables to style boxes around my content. The content can be any size and needs to allow the browser to be resized to any degree. Need the background color and border to contain the content. This works fine with tables. How do I get a div to work the same way?
Note: I added "_"s because my non-breaking spaces were getting lost.
Sample Page
Sample image
(source: c3o.com)
Content:
<style type="text/css">
div.box, table.box
{
padding: 10px 1000px 10px 10px;
}
div.box-header, td.box-header
{
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
font-size: larger;
padding: 4px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
}
div.box-body, td.box-body
{
padding: 6px;
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
border-top: none;
}
</style>
<div class="box">
<div class="box-header">please_help_make_these_divs_stop_overlapping</div>
<div class="box-body">please_help_make_these_divs_stop_overlapping</div>
</div>
<table class="box" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td class="box-header">tables_make_good_containers_tables_make_good</td></tr>
<tr><td class="box-body">tables_make_good_containers_tables_make_good</td></tr>
</table>
There is no easy way to do this that is crossbrowser friendly that I know of.
At least in firefox you can create an simulated table by setting divs with
display:table;
display:table-row;
display:table-cell;
So that those divs work like table elements. Then the box will contain it's content. Wether that's a good solution or not is debateable.
I've been having similar issues with page layouts myself. Usually I've solved those by setting min-width and overflow:auto;
If you really don't want to use a table you can do this:
div.box div {
overflow: hidden;
zoom: 1; /* trigger haslayout for ie */
}
Next time this kind of problem comes up go to giveupandusetables.com.
One way is to make your boxes floats. Add float:left; to box, box-header, and box-body. Add clear:both; to box-body to force it below box-header. You'll probably need to add clear property to whatever content follows as well.
You will not get right edges of box-header and box-body to align, though. If you want their widths to be the same, you really want a table. Table is a tool to make all cells in the same column to share the widths.
For other ideas, check out this SO question.
Firstly, you should be using semantic markup. If something is a header and content mark it up as such with header and paragraph tags. That will help you move out of the 'table-way' of thinking were you try to emulate your markup and styles like a table, markup should come first, CSS can come after.
The following should do what you want:
<style type="text/css">
* {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
.box {
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB;
margin:10px;
}
.box h3 {
padding: 4px;
border-bottom: solid 1px #BBBBBB;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
}
.box p {
padding: 6px;
}
</style>
<div class='box'>
<h3>please help make these divs stop overlapping</h3>
<p>please help make these divs stop overlapping</p>
</div>
Thinking about markup and style separately is the path to CSS Zen Mastery :o)
This works (actually holds together better than tables in ie7 too)
div.box{
float:left;
width:auto;
margin: 10px 1000px 10px 10px;
}
div.box-header{
float:left;
width:100%;
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
font-size: larger;
padding: 4px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
}
div.box-body{
clear:left;
float:left;
width:100%;
padding: 4px;
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
border-top: none;
}
NOTE: both boxes have to have same left and right padding or one juts out a bit.
Floats are not needed, but you seem to be confusing the uses of margin vs. padding. The following minor tweaks to your style works as you need it to:
<style type="text/css">
div.box, table.box
{
margin: 10px 1000px 10px 10px;
border: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
padding: 0px;
}
div.box-header, td.box-header
{
font-size: larger;
padding: 4px;
background-color: #DDDDDD;
border-bottom: solid 1px #BBBBBB ;
}
.box-body, td.box-body
{
padding: 6px;
}
</style>
I've changed the padding on the box to a margin, moved the border to your box, and added an underline to the header.
I had this problem also using Firefox 6.0.1, Opera 10.62, Safari 5.1, but not in IE 9, and the overflow:auto fixed it in all browsers. Nothing else did. I also tried overflow:contain, which also fixed the problem, but it appears that contain is not a valid value for overflow, so I am assuming that, since the value was not valid, auto was substituted.
