So, im trying my hands on some html/css/js/jquery coding, and having been searching around for answers some days now. Im trying to make a clean website, and was basically wondering how to do this:
What my amazing paint skill are trying to explain is how to do the "border/background" around/behind the content. Not the blue white background but the light grey one. Been trying to use and use css border/width/height etc. But cant seem to get anything to work properly. Like it should scale automatically with a menubar, as seen in the image. Appreciate any input.
Try this:
fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/CGqa5/1/
CSS
.outer{
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: #999999;
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 10px;
}
.inner{
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: #ffffff;
}
HTML
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
CONTENT
</div>
</div>
Using box-shadow you just need to add one line to your css!
box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 5px #888888;

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.
It's really simple stuff, but I can't understand what the problem is.
In an ASP.Net webpage I want to create a div with a specific border.
CSS:
.ResourcesDiv
{
border-image:url(http://blogrope.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/003-wood-melamine-subttle-pattern-background-pat.jpg) 30 30 stretch;
border: 15px solid transperant;
width: 300px;
padding: 10px 20px;
margin: 50px;
}
HTML/ASP:
<div id="Resources" class="ResourcesDiv">
In the future, this will display the amount of herbs the user has.<br />
In the future, this will display the amount of gems the user has.<br />
</div>
EDIT: It displays a black border if i remove the transperant part of the border, but not the image, although I`m pretty sure the url is well set.
See the fiddle
I have changed your CSS as follows
CSS
.ResourcesDiv {
border-image:url("http://blogrope.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/003-wood-melamine-subttle-pattern-background-pat.jpg") 30 30 stretch;
border: 15px solid url("http://blogrope.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/003-wood-melamine-subttle-pattern-background-pat.jpg") 30 30 stretch;
width: 300px;
padding: 10px 20px;
margin: 50px;
}
Try it..
UPDATE
Check the fiddle--tested in chrome and firefox
Well, first of all you have got a spelling mistake in the line
border: 15px solid transperant;
in the word transparent.
and secondly I think what you want is here at this fiddle: (specific border ,getting from the url you mentioned)
DEMO
http://jsfiddle.net/kq950cvv/
I am trying to create a button with 3 layers of border around it with the middle layer showing the background of the containing div. Examples are worth a thousand words so here you go
http://jsfiddle.net/e5Sxt/2/
html
<div id="content">
<p>Generic Content</p>
<button class="button">Search</button>
</div>
css
#content{
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
background-color: black;
padding: 50px;
color: white;
}
button{
margin-top: 50px;
padding: 20px;
text-align: center;
background-color: #333;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 5px #666, 0 0 0 10px red, 0 0 0 15px #bbb;
border: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
The red box-shadow is where the black of the containing div should come through. If the box-shadow is set to transparent for this layer, the box-shadow under it shows through instead.
I have tried utilizing outlines, borders, and box-shadows to no avail so far. As of right now, I think I will have to wrap the button in another div with the outer border and a padding to show the background, but wanted to see if anyone could do this without adding another html element.
Thanks!
The answer depends on what browsers you need to support (and whether you'd be happy with a fall-back solution for older browsers).
There is a CSS feature called border-image, which, frankly, can do pretty much anything you could think of for a border. You could achieve this effect very easily using this style.
With border-image, you could simply specify a small image with your two colours and transparent middle section. Job done.
Learn more about border image here: http://css-tricks.com/understanding-border-image/
However... there is a big down-side: browser support. border-image is a relatively new addition to the CSS spec. Firefox and Chrome users should be okay, but IE users miss out -- this feature didn't even make it into IE10.
Full browser support details can be found here: http://caniuse.com/#search=border-image
If poor browser support for border-image is enough to kill that idea for you, then another viable answer would be to use :before or :after CSS selectors to create an pseudo-element sitting behind the main element. This would have a transparent background and be sized slightly larger than the main element and with it's own border. This will give the appearance of the triple border you're looking for.
Of course, you can only use this solution if you aren't already using :before and :after for something else.
Hope that gives you some ideas.
I think the only way to do this is by using a wrapper unfortunately. I'm not sure if it is possible to get the transparency through the button background.
Although, if you know the background color, you can use that in the border obviously, but of course this won't work for background gradients.
Here is a proposed jsFiddle showing knowing the color, and another using a wrapper:
http://jsfiddle.net/eD6xy/
HTML:
<div class="box one-div">(1 div, know color)</div>
<div class="two-div">
<div class="box">(2 divs, pure transparent)</div>
</div>
CSS:
/*
With one div, works fine with a constant color (#abc)
But with gradient, probably won't match up correctly
*/
.one-div {
margin: 15px 10px;
border: 5px solid blue;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 5px #abc,
0 0 0 10px red;
}
.two-div {
margin-top: 30px;
padding: 5px;
border: 5px solid red;
}
.two-div > .box {
border: 5px solid blue;
}
I am adding content to this page: http://rouviere.com/index-new and for some reason there is a faint border around the inset photo in the top section.
Here is the html:
<div class="illustration">
<img class="promo" src="http://www.rouviere.com/_photos/slides_photos.jpg" alt="we package it up" />
</div><!-- end #illustration -->
<div class="headline">
<h2>Photos</h2>
<p id="sub-head">Show the magic of your world with fine photos</p>
</div>
Here is the CSS:
p#sub-head { font-size: 24px; margin: 0 0 10px 35px; color: #000; }
img.promo { float: right; margin-right: 20px; z-index: 0; }
I tried adding border: none; to the image but it didn't make any difference.
I would appreciate any guidance towards a solution.
Thanks.
The border is on the image itself.
This is a legitimate question. Google has multiple pages of people asking this same question. It is a Photoshop bug that has been around since CS3, that adds a faint border to images that are down-sampled.
The solution is to remove the background if the image is down-sampled so that the isolated image is on a transparent background.
Actually, I found an answer that might work for you. Use the following code:
border: 0px solid #cccccc !important;
It made it disappear for me, however, if you use the box-shadow function, you'll still see a border space on the side where the shadow renders.
Hope that helps
I have a button on top of a div with a background colour, a box-shadow, and a border. The button has border-radius corners and the top div's background colour and other styles show through.
Easiest way to explain is this jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/wCppN/1/
HTML:
<div class="journal-content-article">
<div class="button">
Hello Button
</div>
</div>
<div class="journal-content-article">
Normal article with white background.
</div>
CSS:
.journal-content-article {
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid black;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px darkgrey;
}
.button {
border-radius: 20px;
background-color: green;
}
I want to be able to leave the 'normal article' div as is, but be able to remove the white background, the black border, and the box-shadow from the 'button'.
This is being done through Liferay web content so I'm limited to what HTML changes can be made. Only any HTML inside the div 'journal-content-article' can be changed, and can't add additional classes to that div or any parent div.
I also can't change the 'normal article' div contents as the users (no CSS/HTML experience) have to type that in.
Any ideas on how to achieve this, or am I forced to use Javascript?
Thanks!
Maybe this:
http://jsfiddle.net/wCppN/7/
<div class="journal-content-article">
<div class="button">Hello Button</div>
</div>
<div class="journal-content-article">
<div class="myClass">Normal article with white background.</div>
</div>
.journal-content-article {
margin: 20px 20px;
width: 150px;
}
.myClass {
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid black;
box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px darkgrey;
}
I don't think you can override .journal-content-article's style without either doing something like fredsbend suggests, or being able to edit the div itself. You can effectively override the white background, something like this:
div class="journal-content-article">
<div class="journal-content-inside">
<div class="button">
Hello Button
</div>
</div>
</div>
.journal-content-inside {
background-color: black;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
width: 150px;
overflow: hidden;
border: none;
}
However that doesn't fix the border and box-shadow problem. I don't know that those really are fixable without javascript or other means of editing outside the div.
One method that may help someone else, would be to set a negative margin on the button:
.button {
margin: -10px;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/wCppN/11/
This makes the button larger than the border and shadow, and with overflow: hidden off, covers up the problem.
However it has the disadvantage that the button becomes bigger than you want. In some designs that might be fine, but we have a box/column structure and just -2px of margin looks too badly out of alignment for me to use this (I'm a perfectionist)!
It might help someone else though!
