I have a container div that contains an unordered list, that contains multiple li's (simplified to one in the fiddle for simple demonstration). Basically the text in the li's is spilling out over the containing div, which is odd because I added
white-space:normal
which is supposed to mitigate the issue, but clearly doesn't, see http://jsfiddle.net/hQA6u/.
I then tried to give the li a set width, but that doesn't work either.
Basically, I just want the li's text to not extend past the maroon/brown color, and have it break into multiple lines.
Thanks for all help!
jsFiddle
word-wrap:break-word;
this will do the trick
Just add "overflow:hidden;" to your css, or you can use "overflow:scroll;" to make div scrollable.
Hope this helps.

I want to create a button/link that is centered in the content area of a webpage. Because it's a button, and not just a link, I'm adding some padding and background colour to it.
The link is centered horizontally, but the padding seems to expand outside the line-height of the parent element, causing it to overlap with previous/next elements. See: http://fths.convoke.info/what-can-i-do/
I tried creating a fiddle, but wasn't seeing the same issue: http://jsfiddle.net/convoke/g9wu6ws9/
So what am I missing? Conversely, is there a better way to center a link like this? I don't like using margin: auto because it requires you specify the width. Ideally the width would be dynamic, so if the text on the button was longer or shorter, it would remain centered.
In this case, the answer I needed came from user #CBroe in the comments of my original question. He suggested using display:inline-block and that worked like a charm.
Still unsure as to why I was getting different results on the fiddle vs the actual website...
I have created some "buttons" out of three divs and I have set a hover to each div so that the text drops by 5px when the user hovers over the div.
I'm using display:inline-block as I don't want to use float:left
The only problem is that when I use display:inline-block on the divs, it lowers the other divs instead.
Here is how it should work (using float:left)
WORKING
And this is what happens when I used display:inline-block
NOT WORKING
Is there a fix for this or am I going to have to use a different solution?
Sorted the problem!
Although KingKing's answer was correct, using .wkd > * {vertical-align:middle;} didn't seem to work well with the rest of my code so I had to alter it slightly so it worked like so:
.won, .keep, .discard {
vertical-align:middle;
}
Still, KingKing's answer helped me figure this out so thank you :)
I use some DIV to create blocks with data inside.
I've set them to "inline-block" because I want the div to adjust his width to the content.
IE8 adjust his width to my content but I have a weird problem.
If you go to this fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/GvMW8/ and click to the first or second link, you can see that divs are overlapping.
If you go to this fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/hhpRP/1/ and do the same operation, it works!
The only difference between these two fiddles are the 'id' attribute of the main divs.
I don't understand why I have this problem, but can you tell me how to make it works with the inline-block display AND a div id?
Thanks for your help!
Looks like a little IE8 bug.
Check out http://jsfiddle.net/willemvb/fjqUc/
I added an extra class for the div around bigBlock and made it display: inline-block.
I also shortened your javascript.
This seemed enough to make IE8 listen :)
Not a front-end UI but have a (probably) very easy problem to fix. Here is a jsfiddle of it: http://jsfiddle.net/trestles/U7mYT/ I have two floated elements shown in this screen shot. One is floated left and the other (index-right-content) is floated right. The floated right div has two columns of content. The second column is much longer but doesn't expand out the box to push down the container. The index-right-content is posistion:relative. The index-right-content is the blue dashed border.
thx
edit #1
fiddle of it: http://jsfiddle.net/trestles/U7mYT/
I think the issue is the 'index-box right' which is right floated needs some way to clear itself but adding a clear:both didn't seem to do it.
don't do this full-time so thx for any help
I don't know why you should use positioning for the div index-right-content. Also, the width is more than it should be... I think I see 640px for the width, which I think is unnecessary, provided that the widths of the columns inside this div is defined.
see the updated jsfiddle adding float to both inner columns in container.
I have this and it got an HTML img#logo-image, on some occasions it will not be displayed, display:none.
The problem is that the entire div#menu-title should fit the width of the page.
I tried putting width:100%, but when the img#logo-imag" is displayed it breaks the line being below the img#logo-image.
The width:100% does not work with elements float:left
Just unfloat the menu-title div and remove the width.. it will automatically be 100% of the header then.. and if the image is present it will adjust the ul#menu list to make room for it, which is a natural behaviour
if you want the menu-list to really only take the available width (say for a background color or something then you can add overflow: hidden; to ul#menu - though I don't see a need for that in your example code
here's a simplified version of your Fiddle - hover on the header to make the image disappear and see the ul#menu adjust to suit
Example Fiddle
You have both logo-image and menu-title floating left. Since they arent really in separate divs, they are all part of the same div, they appear next to each other. On top of that, you set the menu-title to be 760, which isn't the width of the page. At least that what it looks like you did. Do not use width 100% because resizing the page will shrink that menu title.
You really just have to play around with the divs, but i would say that separating those two divs would make you be able to stack them on top or below each other.
And in using Chrome's inspect element feature, I don't see a display:none for the image's css. I don't know why that would do that.
I'm really not sure of what you are trying to accomplish since making the div#menu-title width: 100% doesn't leave any room for anything else on the same row.
Why not let them both be inline and let the widths be whatever they need to be?
Anyway, I have a guess at what you want. You want those two elements to behave as being in a table, inside a table row, and each in a table-cell so that the image takes a maximum width, and the div#menu-title taking all of the rest of the place. In that case put them in a table, or use display: table-cell for the image and the div and fiddle around with that.
