I am building a website using singularity.gs which I am fairly new to.
I am having trouble giving a div a background-color, this is my html structure:
http://oi44.tinypic.com/205xt1i.jpg , the "green" part is my about div.
<div class="about">
<div class="photo">
<img class="photoBorder" src="images/foto_jeroen.png" alt=""/>
</div>
<div class="text">
<h1>Hello I'm Jeroen Druwé</h1>
<p>...</p>
</div>
</div>
To achieve this affect is had to set a height for the div:
#include breakpoint(70em) {
.about {
height: 340px; //This property will set the height of the div
}
.about .photo {
padding: 1em;
#include grid-span(2, 4);
}
.about .text {
padding-top: 7em;
padding-left: 1em;
display: inline;
#include grid-span(4, 6);
}}
If I remove the "height:340px" no background will be drawn:
http://oi39.tinypic.com/2s16ezl.jpg (only my thin borderline)
Is there a way to let the div wrap its height around its content (.photo,.text)?
Note: if i remove #include grid-span for .photo and .text the background shows but I do not want to lose the singularity functionality
Thanks in advance!
Don't span the container.
The problem you experience happens because Singularity columns are floated, and floated elements are taken out of the flow. This means that the container does not "know" about your columns any more, so it behaves like an empty element.
There's a property called clear that positions an element below any nearby floated element. If you create an extra element inside the container after all your columns, the clear: both; rule applied to it will push it below the floated columns, effectively stretching the container as high as columns are:
<div class="about">
<div class="photo">
<img class="photoBorder" src="images/foto_jeroen.png" alt=""/>
</div>
<div class="text">
<h1>Hello I'm Jeroen Druwé</h1>
<p>...</p>
</div>
<div class=clear></div>
</div>
.clear { clear: both; }
But don't add an extra element, that's not semantic. Instead, use the :after pseudo element that appears at the end of an element's contents. Using :after is just like creating a blank element at the end of element's contents.
.about {
&:after {
content: ''; // This is required for the pseudo-element to exist
display: block; // Default display is inline, have to change that for `clear` to work.
clear: both; // Yay, magic!
}
}
This technique is called "clearfix".
This can be done even simpler with the multi-purpose Toolkit extension from Team Sass, the authors of Singularity:
#import 'toolkit';
.about { #extend %toolkit-micro; }
The %toolkit-micro extendable has some additional rules that makes the clearfix trick work in older browsers. There's also the %clearfix-legacy extendable that works even in ancient browsers.
I fixed it.
Forgot to add an #include grid-span(12, 1); for my .about

I'm trying to position two HTML elements with the CSS attribute float: right;, an input element next to it the metric unit of the input. So far I've tried placing the unit next to input without placing it in an element, also placing it in a p element, and both input and the element inside a div element; didn't work. I'd like to ask whether there's a way to stick an element next to another?
here's the code:
.caloriesinput {
position: relative;
float: right;
}
<div>
<h5>Calories</h5>
<div class="caloriesinput"><input type="text">
<p>kcal</p>
</div>
</div>
and here's how the code shows:
much appreciated for your time.
I think you must change the display of p tag so add this line of code to your CSS:
.caloriesinput p {
display: inline-block;
}
.caloriesinput {
position: relative;
float: right;
}
<div>
<h5>Calories</h5>
<div class="caloriesinput"><input type="text"<p>kcal</p>
</div>
</div>
I have design this box with angular material. I can not break these two words in two line(up and down).i have included a image. Here i want 1349 and New Feedback in two line. I am new in angular material. thanks
<style>
.box-item {
background-color: cornflowerblue;
width: 100px;
height: 120px;
}
.box-text {
color:white;
}
</style>
<div layout="row" style="padding: 32px;" ng-cloak>
<md-whiteframe class="md-whiteframe-2dp box-item" md-colors="[enter image description here][1]background:'blue-400'}"
flex-sm="45" flex-gt-sm="35" flex-gt-md="25" layout
layout-align="end center" layout-margin>
<span class="md-display-1 box-text">1349</span>
<span class="box-text">New Feedbacks</span>
</md-whiteframe>
</div>
That is a css question.
You want to order 2 inline elements (span) in 2 lines.
You should try to style one of them as block element or to add br tag between them.
<style>
.box-item {
display: inline-block;
background-color: cornflowerblue;
height: 120px;
}
.box-text {
color:white;
display: block;
}
</style>
Example Here
That's because the <span> tag is an inline element by default and only takes up as much width as necessary.
If you need to use a span and require the item's on separate lines then either change the behaviour of the element through CSS by changing it's display property to block as stated by Cuzi, add a single line break between the elements using the <br> tag or use a block-level element such as the <div> tag.
I recommend using the right element for the job. So a block-level tag like the <div> tag would be ideal. This would cause both elements to take up the full width available and thus be on separate lines without the requirement for an extra line of css, (plus you save a byte of space per element within the HTML!
Heres how to do it in CSS.
.box-text {
color:white;
display: block;
}
Heres with a <br> tag:
<span class="md-display-1 box-text">1349</span>
<br>
<span class="box-text">New Feedbacks</span>
And the simplest and most semantic of the three, with div tags:
<div class="md-display-1 box-text">1349</div>
<div class="box-text">New Feedbacks</div>
I have a division placed on the bottom of the page. I put an image into this division, but I don't know how to modify the image. The problem may be, that the inline style for <img> is setting modification rules for all images. I have an inline style sheet that has this code and HTML code for <div>.
My CSS code looks like this:
<style type="text/css">
img {
image-align: center;
padding: 10px;
height: 200px;
width: 140px;
}
div {
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
}
</style>
And my HTML code is like that:
<div align="center" >
<img src="images/music_banner.jpg" >
</div>
you can do this:
div img{
}
or give the div a name and do this
#div img{
}
or you give the img an id as below
<div>
<img id="mg"/>
</div>
Use id as #mg in CSS code.
or you can do as define class name in img tag.
<div>
<img class="mg"/>
</div>
Use class as .mg in CSS Code.
You might try learning a little bit more about CSS selectors: these are the rules that tell the browser which element you'd like to apply the following rules to.
I would recommend Code Academy for an easy to follow course. You can skip down to the CSS section if you are already comfortable with HTML.
Note: if you google CSS, you'll get "w3schools" as the first results. That website is generally derided on Stack Overflow. I don't know if it's really that bad, but I tend to skip it just because everyone else has a bad opinion of it. Your call if you find it helpful of course.
I should note that I like to use the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) website for reference, as they're the ones trying to make everything standard. It is a pretty technical read, though.
Create a div element in your HTML code:
<div class="parent">
<img src="image">
</div>
Than add this to your CSS code:
.parent {
width: 42px; /* I took the width from your post and placed it in css */
height: 42px;
}
/* This will style any <img> element in .parent div */
.parent img {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
I have two selectors to play with to achieve this design:
I have tried almost everything but I just cant seem to get the text to float right next to the big letters
Here is the code:
Jsbin
html:
<div class="processlinks-section-template">
<div class="processlinks-section-item" data-letter="H">
<div class="processlinks-section-item-title">
Haftonbladet.se
</div>
<div class="processlinks-section-item-title">
Hteabagz.com
</div>
</div>
<div class="processlinks-section-item" data-letter="C">
<div class="processlinks-section-item-title">
Cftonbladet.se
</div>
<div class="processlinks-section-item-title">
Cteabagz.com
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
[data-letter] {
margin:7px;
background:#ef8;
}
[data-letter]:before {
content:attr(data-letter);
font-size:36px;
margin:7px;
}
.processlinks-section-template
{
width: 270px;
height: 100%;
}
}
.processlinks-section-item-title
{
margin-top:5px;
}
.processlinks-section-item-title a
{
color:black;
}
.processlinks-section-item-title a:visited
{
color:black;
}
.processlinks-section-item-title a:hover
{
color:#0084c9;
}
Any kind of help is appreciated
Note: I have a javascript that appends stuff so I rather just stay with these two selectors.
If there is one item it seems to ruin the design and I think thats the problem.
Take a look: jsbin.com/UHiZUJU/9/edit
Float both the letter and link to left and add clearfix with it.
Updated jsfiddle
Add float: left to the :before psuedo-element that contains the letter, and clear: left to the section container:
[data-letter]:before {
content:attr(data-letter);
font-size:36px;
margin:7px;
display:inline-block;
}
.processlinks-section-item {
clear:left;
}
Updated JSBin
Currently your :before psuedo-element is display: block by default in the absence of another display declaration, which means it automatically fills 100% the width of its parent and functions like it has a line break after it (as compared to inline elements).
Floating a block element means it only fills the width it needs rather than its usual behavior of filling the full width and also removes the implicit presence of a line break. The clear: left on the container just ensures the float is reset for each section.
To make it like in your image change your margin:auto 7px;
I have a div that has a photo that has the float: left attribute and text is right next to it, like this:
<div id='1'>
<img src='img.jpg' width='50%' style='float:left;' />
This is text next to it<br/><br/>More text
</div>
I don't know the dimensions of the image, or the height of the text, but the text is often shorter than the image, causing the div to be shorter than the image (which looks really bad). Is there any way I can fix this?
Just add overflow: hidden; to your first div.
Addicionally ids and classes in CSS can not start from numbers.
I think the optimal solution is to add new div at the end and clear everything with it. like this:
CSS in first case:
#1:after{
content: "";
height: 0;
clear: both;
display: block;
}
Second case:
HTML:
<div id='1'>
<img src='img.jpg' width='50%' style='float:left;'>
This is text next to it<br><br>More text
<div class="cl"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.cl {
clear: both;
}
or if you want to run in the oldest versions of IE you can add:
.cl {
font-size: 0;
line-height: 0;
text-indent: -4000px;
clear: both;
}
