Please take a look at this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/EWUTX/
These are the styles used:
.box { position: relative; display:inline-block;}
.box:after {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 10px;
background: green;
content: '';
bottom:-10px;
left:0;
}
I get a small 5px gap when using the style on an li element, but not on a div tag.
If I specify font-size: 0px, the gap goes away. But then all the text within the li disappears.
As the font size of the li increases, the gap widens.
Is there a style to get rid of this gap, without any hard coding of font sizes?
Fiddle again: http://jsfiddle.net/EWUTX/
Thanks
PS: I'm actually building a CSS framework internally where users can specify a status (using classes) like "started", "not-started", etc.
When used, the element should display a small bar below with different colors. Users can use this class on any element.
That gap is part of the line height reserved characters like 'p' letter.
You will get the same gap if you don't set a height to your div. If you want to remove that from an inline element like an img you can set the vertical-align to the bottom:
.box img {
vertical-align: bottom;
}
See: http://jsfiddle.net/DhTzp/
Its the image that crates the whitespace;
img{ display: block; }

This is my first question here on Stackoverflow so be kind :3 i'm having a problem with a website in which i cannot manage to make a div get the outer li height. I cannot link directly the website because u would need a private VPN access but i will try to give more information possible. This is the code i'm dealing with:
#boxdocenti ul.elencodocenti li div {
margin: 15px auto;
border-radius: 50%;;
max-width:90%;
height: auto;
/*background-color: #ff6319;*/
transition: all 0.5s ease 0s;
}
#boxdocenti ul.elencodocenti li div img {
max-width: 85%;
}
#boxdocenti ul.elencodocenti li div:hover {
background-color: #ff6319;
}
The circle div has an img inside it and i don't know why but the circle div becomes an OVAL! when i go in hover it gives to the image a strange oval border instead of a perfect circle. any suggestions? sorry for the lack of links but it's in a VPN network.
I can't see more relevant CSS and HTML so there are some options.
Option 1. Show <li> as a block element, expand <div> height and add more border-radius. Try adding this properties:
#boxdocenti ul.elencodocenti li {
display: block;
}
#boxdocenti ul.elencodocenti li div {
height: 100%;
border-radius: 100%;
}
Option 2. Absolute positioning. This will stretch the <div> to the <li> border.
#boxdocenti ul.elencodocenti li {
display: block;
position: relative;
height: 200px; //fixed height
}
#boxdocenti ul.elencodocenti li div {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
With your css, what will determine whether #boxdocenti ul.elencodocenti li div is a circle or an oval is the height of your image. If your image is a square, it will produce a circle. If your image is a rectangle, it will produce an oval. Your containing div will take on the height of your image.
This is the closest that I could come to the behavior your talking about:

Your code is somewhat lacking since its only the CSS.
Yet what you describe seems like an display: issue.
What I think is happening: your element is by default an inline or inline-block element but when you hover the display property changes.
So I think adding (or removing) the display property should help.
Summary
Add a display:inline-block; on the hover so that it keeps its size and not extends to the full length possible of its parent.
I need to set a margin to the top of an element. The text must be within the element and have a top margin of N pixels.
Here is what I want to achieve:
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/GRQNh/
CSS:
body {
height: 960px;
}
.breadcrumbs {
position: relative;
background-color: #eee;
height: 10%;
}
.name {
color: #000;
margin-top: 50px;
}
Thanks.
DEMO or you may be try with padding-top instead margin-top as follows
.name {
display:block;
color: #000;
padding-top: 50px;
}
Since .breadcrumbs has position: relative, set position: absolute; to .name.
JSFiddle
You need to add display: inline-block; to get the margin to work.
For instance,
.name {
color: #000;
margin-top: 50px;
display: inline-block;
}
Hope this helps.
For it to work you will need to make the element behave like a block element. A block element can have, for instance, margins or paddings.
However, you will want to keep it from being displayed like an actual block element, so you will want to keep its visual displacement the same (that is, inline).
Luckily, there is a css value for display which does exactly what you need:
display: inline-block;
Add this to the span (which is inilne by default) and it will behave like a block element while it will still look like an inline element.
You can also give up on margins at all and use padding-top: 50px.
in this case, you must specify the parent ELEMENT position relative and absolute position subsidiary and specify top: 0;
the <span> is an inline element. That means you cant apply margin or padding to it.
For the solution to your problem you have -at least- two options.
1.Change the container of your text to a block element, like <div>
so:
<span class="name">Name</span>
will become
<div class="name">Name</div>
2.Change the behavior of your span by making it a block or inline-block element with this css:
.name {
display:inline-block
/* rest of your css */
These two articles will give you a good idea of what is inline and block

TLDR: this codepen works fine in Chrome, but the alignment is off in Firefox.
I'm building a jQuery plugin which modifies a text input to give it a dropdown button on the left. In order to get the positioning right, I add a wrapper div, which is the same height as the input, so the button can be absolutely positioned on top of the input, and yet still have the same height:
#wrapper {
position: relative;
}
#overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 30px;
}
This works fine until the input has vertical margin: then the container grows to include the margin, and so the dropdown button grows with it. My solution to this was margin collapsing: I gave the input display:block which meant that the container ignored it's margin. All good.
input {
margin: 20px 0 40px; /* testing */
display: block;
}
But now the problem is that by default, inputs are inline elements e.g. you might want to have a submit button next to the input. So I wrapped the whole thing in a container div with display:inline-block, so another inline element like a button can happily sit next to it.
#container {
display: inline-block;
}
This works fine in Chrome, but has weird alignment issues in Firefox when there's any vertical margin on the input. Below I've added the final markup. There's also a codepen link at the top.
<div id="container">
<div id="wrapper">
<input>
<div id="overlay"></div>
</div>
</div>
<button>Submit</button>
Edit: the point is that this is a plugin and I'm trying to work with the user's existing markup and CSS e.g. they have this markup:
<input><button>Submit</button>
and their existing CSS has vertical margin on the input, and I want them to be able to just initialise my plugin on the input and it just work, without forcing them to change their markup/CSS. Now because the plugin needs to add lots of markup around the input (for the overlay and the dropdown list), I wrap it all up in a container div. This container div is the limit of our reach (and does not include the button element, or anything else they choose to put next to their inputs).
To fix this, you'll need to define a line-height in your parent div#test2. Without it, different browsers will give it different values. This will cause Firefox to cause this weird result.
Now, the line-height isn't the only problem, also the vertical-align's baseline value will generate a different result for inline elements than it is for inline-block elements that have a different height than the surrounding inline content. To fix this, change the value to top for the #container element (since that's the inline-block element).
The final result would have the following changed (only pasting the parts that changed):
#test2 {
background-color: green;
line-height:70px;
#container {
// replicate the inline nature of the input
display: inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
}
//the rest of the #test2 nested code
}
That would look like this.
Reply to comment
I've made something that does work by the requirements set. Since you said the extra code (so the divs around the input) are made by the plugin itself, I've taken the liberty of changing that a bit to make this work.
The way it can work quite easily is just not using inline-blocks at all, and sticking with the inline elements. This would change the styles to the following:
#container {
// replicate the inline nature of the input
display: inline;
}
#wrapper {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
input {
// you'll want to make sure the typed text doesn't appear behind the overlay
padding-left:35px;
}
#overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
left: 1px;
width: 30px;
background-color: #00C2FF;
}
Notes:
I didn't bother making the overlay cover the full height of the input, since your plugin would just make it a flag anyway. To make it cover the full height, just set negative top and bottom styles on the overlay, equal to the computed padding-top and padding-bottom (resp.) on the input. In this case, you'd have to change them to top:-5px;bottom:-5px;. (you can get the computed style via jQuery's $(input).css('padding-top'))
You could actually also remove the whole #container from it, since the only style it has now is display:inline which really doesn't add anything to the whole thing.
I've added a padding-left to your input, because otherwise you'd have to type behind the overlay, which is just silly.
Is the HTML generated by the plugin and it needs to stay exactly the same? I'm not sure I can figure out exactly why the second example is not working, but you seem to have too many div elements there. You could make since simpler:
HTML
<div id="test1">
<div id="wrapper">
<input>
<div id="overlay"></div>
<button>submit</button>
</div>
</div>
SCSS
input, button {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 5px;
}
input {
display: inline-block;
padding-left: 35px;
}
#test1 {
background-color: yellow;
padding: 20px 0 40px 0;
#wrapper {
position: relative;
#overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 1px;
left: 1px;
width: 30px;
background-color: #00C2FF;
}
}
}
Codepen example
I've removed the margin, and instead used padding on the parent, it achieves the same thing. You'll also want some padding-left on your input field so the entered text doesn't disappear behind your overlay div.
EDIT: In case you are unable to change the markup:
SCSS:
#test2 {
background-color: green;
#container {
// replicate the inline nature of the input
display: inline-block;
padding: 20px 0 40px 0;
}
#wrapper {
// this is just here to be display:block and ignore the margin on the input
display: block;
position: relative;
}
input {
// tell parent to ignore margin
//display: block;
margin: 0;
}
#overlay {
position: absolute;
top: 1px;
bottom: 1px;
left: 1px;
width: 30px;
background-color: #00C2FF;
}
}
codepen demo
Removed the block and margin declarations from the input field, and moved the spacing to padding of the #container element.
"Disclaimer": Let me just start by saying that I did not find exactly what is causing the problems in Firefox, but I did think of an alternative way you could do it.
The way this works in both Firefox and Chrome is just to use the exact same HTML as you used for your #test1, but on top of that, also using the CSS :before pseudo-element (instead of using the #container and #wrapper). The code I used was:
#test2 {
background-color: green;
position:relative;
&:before {
content:"";
display:block;
position:absolute;
left:1px;
top:1px;
bottom:1px;
margin:20px 0 40px 0;
width:30px;
background:#00C2FF;
}
}
demo
The way this works is to simply position the :before overlay on exactly the same place as the divs previously were. As you can see, I've used most of the same styles as you did, but instead, I've put them on the :before pseudo-class.
Other answers don't know why it doesn't work on Firefox. Well, I think that Firefox has the right behavior and it's a Chrome problem.
In short, you want to align an input with a button. But the input is inside a wrapper. Then, you can use vertical-align to control the vertical aligning between the wrapper and the button, but not between the input and the button.
Here you can see an screenshot with different vertical-align:
See the code.
If you want to align the input and the button (last case in the image), you have a problem, because any of the keywords you can use with vertical-align does that. Only in case that input's top margin and bottom margin are equal, then vertical-align: middle works.
But in general, you have have another solution: vertical-align also accepts a <length> value.
And, to get a perfect alignment, you should use the formula
vertical-align: -(input bottom margin)
Or, if you want to align them even if the button has a bottom margin, then
vertical-align: -(input bottom margin) + (button button margin)
The code formula above works with inline-block <div>, but not with <buttons>.
The formula must be fixed to
vertical-align: -(input bottom margin) -(input offsetHeight)/2 + 6
In your example
(Input bottom margin) = 40px
(Input offsetHeight) = 31px
Then, you need
vertical-align: -(input bottom margin) -(input offsetHeight)/2 + 6
Demo
I could achieve it with the following.Codepen You will have to know the css applied to input and apply it to button as well
button{
position:absolute;
margin-left:5px;
}
input, button {
display: inline-block;
margin: 20px 0 40px 0;
}
please update below in your code.
input, button {
border: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 20px 0 40px;
padding: 5px;
vertical-align: top;
}
hope it will work

I was trying to get a double bordered (underlined) header. First one is full width, second is just text width. Borders should overlap
There is an easy solution with two elements nested like that:
<h1><span>Title</span></h1>
and css:
h1 {
border-bottom: 1px solid red;
}
h1 span {
display: inline-block;
padding: 0 0 10px;
margin-bottom: -1px;
border-bottom: 1px solid blue;
}
Span has inline-block display property so it has right width.
I'm wondering if it's possible to get same effect with :after, :before selectors and only h1 element.
It can be done. I've used vw units.
Take a look at this Working Fiddle
HTML:
<h1 class="SpecialBorder">Title</h1>
CSS:
*
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.SpecialBorder
{
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
.SpecialBorder:before , .SpecialBorder:after
{
content:'';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
.SpecialBorder:before
{
width: 100vw;
border-bottom: 1px solid red;
}
.SpecialBorder:after
{
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 1px solid blue;
}
Explanation:
the before & after pseudo elements are the ones that draw the borders.
both of them are empty elements. with a certain width that causes their border to be visible.
they are absolutely position at the bottom of their <h1> parent.
before: responsible for the red border. so his width is set to '100%' of view port.
after: responsible for the red border. so hes width is set to 100% of his parent (the <h1>), that's why the h1 is set to `display:inline-block;" (so it will span ony just as his content)
vw unit is supported by new browsers only.
notice that if you cant use vw units, you can still make something familiar to that.
delete the display:inline-block; from h1 (causing it to span all the way again)
change the width of before to 100% (to make it span all the way),
change the with of after to some fixed value of your choice.
Edit: as thgaskell stated in th comment,
there's a bug where vw units don't update properly on webkit
browsers when the window is resized.
Edit 2:
for making elements to show after the title, you can use a <br /> tag, or clearing techniques like showed here.
I'm not sure if that's what you want, but you could do these rules:
h1 {
...
}
/* here are the direct children of every h1 */
h1>* {
...
}
::after and ::before selectors would make sense when inserting new content (note the double colons). Here's some MDN on ::after selector and some examples:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::after
The text have a big space in the bottom here: http://jsfiddle.net/qHaFR/
And I am not able to remove it.
Can you tell me how to do it?
The wrapper, in this case <span> needs to be a block element with width and height defined. You'll also need to change the line-height to match the height of the container.
So your style would look like:
#foo {
background-color:yellow;
font-size:260px;
border:1px solid black;
width: 190px; /* if display: block; */
line-height: 200px;
display: block; /* or inline-block */
}
Just to clarify, were you trying to wrap A in an element such as <div> or <h1> you shouldn't need to declare it display: block because div and h1 are already block.
It's because the line-height is actually that big, in order for each character to be displayable there. In some languages that space is fully used. For example, if you'd type ÁĄ, you'd need whole 260px. If you're okay with not being able to display those characters, you'll need to change line-height accordingly and display it as a block:
#foo
{
background-color: yellow;
font-size: 260px;
border: 1px solid black;
line-height: 200px;
display: block; /* or inline-block */
}
If you're not okay with treating it as a block (it gets 100% width then or you'll need to set it yourself), use display: inline-block;. Also, type ÁĄ instead of A and see that the letters get their top and bottom cut. Here, see this: http://jsfiddle.net/vmVcr/.
