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'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 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
Image
I tried this with the following CSS and HTML. It looks fine when the browser is of full width and scrambled when browser is resized. I WANT the elements to be where there and a HORIZONTAL SCROLL has to appear when the BROWSER is RESIZED. Pretty new to web programming. Text-align:center for positioning the center column would not work because, every time a new text is added in the left or right, it gets relocated and also center column element in ROW1(text) and ROW2(Button) do not appear along the same line. That is, text appears a bit right and the button a bit left. Text-align won't work here.
CSS:
#charset "utf-8";

If you want to align you object in the center, there are a couple of different ways. First of all, there is the text-align:center; which you don't need right now. There is also object-position:center; which basically does the same, but with an object. This way isn't the best, but you could add a certain percentage of padding to either side but that's not recommended. Lastly, there's alignment-adjust:central;. This may not be perfect for your situation but just try out all of these and see if they work. Good luck!
One way that would work is to set your wrapper width to a fixed value (something in 800px for example). As long as this width was longer than all the content you are putting within that wrapper, everything should work as you want. The browser will automatically place a horizontal scroll bar when the window gets smaller than the width of the wrapper.
This is just a small error I found in the CSS and I don't know if this will help too much. The div you added was not referred to as a div, but a class. For example, if you wanted to style a div in CSS, you would do this:
#divname {
CSS for div goes here...
}
On the other hand, if you wanted to add a little style to a class, you would go like this:
.classname {
CSS for class goes here...
}
If you were wondering what the difference for each is, the answer is simple. A class can define multiple objects while the divs are just limited to one object or element.
I'm currently updating a pretty old website (last update was around 2001), and have agreed to use HTML5 and CSS3.
For the general design, I'm working on a very clean white and gray tones style, with many paddings and margins. My problem resides in the home page: I'd like to have a 3-column centered layout. But where to start? I've tried some floating, but in vain.
Am I doing this right ?
HTML:
<div class="colwrapper">
<div class="ltcol"></div>
<div class="ctcol"></div>
<div class="rtcol"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.colwrapper { width:1020px; }
.ltcol, .ctcol, .rtcol { width:300px; margin:0 10px; padding:10px; }
.ltcol { float:left; }
.ctcol { margin-left:340px; }
.rtcol { float:right; }
your css should be like this:
.ltcol, .ctcol { float:left; }
.rtcol { float:right; }
The purpose of the CSS float property is, generally speaking, to push a block-level element to the left or right, taking it out of the flow in relation to other block elements. This allows naturally-flowing content to wrap around the floated element. This concept is similar to what you see every day in print literature, where photos and other graphic elements are aligned to one side while other content (usually text) flows naturally around the left- or right-aligned element.
For More details you must have to read this intresting article.
See This Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/akhurshid/YRWLV/
Your HTML is very clean - this is a great step forward.
You need to add a float: left to all the columns. To ensure the float is cancelled after your columns, it is best to add a clear div after the floated columns.
HTML:
<div class="colwrapper">
<div class="ltcol">Column 1</div>
<div class="ctcol">Column 2</div>
<div class="rtcol">Column 3</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.colwrapper { width:1020px; }
.ltcol, .ctcol, .rtcol { width:300px; margin:0 10px; padding:10px; background-color: #efefef }
.ltcol { float:left; }
.ctcol { float:left; }
.rtcol { float:left; }
.clear { clear: left; }
So you add css3 tag for this questio so I suggest you to make this with css3 column layout:
More info
for example
HTML
<div class="colwrapper">
<div>text</div>
</div>
CSS
.colwrapper div
{
-moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */
-webkit-column-count:3; /* Safari and Chrome */
column-count:3;
}
It does not work on IE.
Use one of these tried and tested implementations instead of rolling out your own. In addition to the fact that you'll be getting tested and working code, you'll add responsiveness to your site with almost zero effort.

and lots more if you google..
could also use Flexbox property for this now as well so you don't need to worry about floats or clearfix's.
main{
/* .colwrapper{ */
display: flex;
flex-flow: row;
justify-content: center;
}
main > section{
/* .ltcol,.ctcol,.rtcol{ */
display:flex;
flex-flow:column;
align-items:center;
padding:10px; padding:.625rem;
}
main > section:nth-child(2){
/* .ctcol{ */
margin:0 20px; margin:0 1.25rem;
}
http://caniuse.com/flexbox shows the support for it isn't quite as far along as you would probably like, however, there are ways to improve support by mixing old versions of the syntax with the new http://css-tricks.com/using-flexbox/ has a great write up on it from Chris Coyier if you want to play with this for a next project (this post is fairly old). You can also get more details at http://html5please.com/#flexbox
Also, if you're using HTML5 I'd probably go with sections over divs for a more semantic structure, so a comparison would look something like this:
<main>
<section></section><!-- or <nav></nav> -->
<section></section><!-- or <article></article> -->
<section></section><!-- or <aside></aside> -->
</main>
instead of...
<div class="colwrapper">
<div class="ltcol"></div>
<div class="ctcol"></div>
<div class="rtcol"></div>
</div>
Just try putting the rtcol div beofre le ltcol div.
<div class="colwrapper">
<div class="rtcol">X</div>
<div class="ltcol">X</div>
<div class="ctcol">X</div>
</div>

Morning,
I have the following HTML:
<div id="sah_padding">
<div id="sah_holder">
<div id="sah_name">Hello [agent_name]</div>
<div id="sah_logout">✖</div>
</div>
You are working with [customer_name]
</div>
and I have the following CSS:
#sah_padding{
padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;
}
#sah_holder{
padding-bottom:10px;
clear:both;
}
#sah_name{
float:left;
width:50%;
}
#sah_logout{
text-align:right;
}
#logout_link{
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:bold;
}
However my login link and Hello message aren't aligning correctly, the logout link is a few pixels below the hello message and I need them to be on the same horizontal line. What am I doing wrong?
if you set line-height :1 to #logout_link element, it should correct the alignment
(of course feel free to choose a different value to adjust it)
Give float to your #sah_logout also. Write like this:
#sah_logout{
float: left;
text-align:right;
}
Check this http://jsfiddle.net/QUNT2/
Check the line-height of your elements!!!
You need to set a float to #sah_logout as well:
#sah_logout{
float: left;
text-align:right;
}
You can even make it say, float: right. It's entirely your choice. Doing only a text-align: right will modify how the inner contents of the container behave, not how the div behaves within the flow.
Also, you might have a few problems with the parent div not wrapping correctly around the children divs (as all children now have float properties), so you might need to add another div, with clear: both set in its style:
<div id="sah_holder">
<div id="sah_name">Hello [agent_name]</div>
<div id="sah_logout">✖</div>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>
Instead of wasting time with block level elements why don't you simply use inline elements for both the "Hello" text and the logout link? That's what inline elements are supposed to do - stay in line with each other.
<div id="sah_padding">
<div id="sah_holder">
<span id="sah_name">Hello [agent_name]</span>✖
</div>
<span>You are working with [customer_name]</span>
</div>
Its is highly unlikely that you would need any of the CSS code you previously used for elements inside sah_holder unless you want to style them differently.
check it your updated html :-
<div id="sah_padding">
<div id="sah_holder">
<div id="sah_name">Hello [agent_name]</div>
<div id="sah_logout">You are working with [customer_name]</div>
</div>
</div>
your updated css:-
#sah_padding{
padding:10px 10px 10px 10px;
}
#sah_holder{
padding-bottom:10px;
border:1px solid red;
overflow:hidden;
}
#sah_name{
float:left;
width:50%;
}
#sah_logout{
float:right;
}
.logout_link{
color:black;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:bold;
}
