This is a very basic html-css query that I often encounter. Most times, I find the solution some way or the other, but am interested to know the reason of this unexpected behavior(as per me) of UI.
Please have a look at this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2yaRU/
<div > //float left
Sometext <span> text<.span>//float:right
<div>
the right floated text moves to the next line though there is a lot of width available in my line. Ideally as per me, the text should appear side by side with float:left as left side, and float:right at right side within the div.
This cant be a complex issue, so is there something very common I do not get here?
Put the floated item first. The floats are nested inside of each-other, so they won't affect each-other. Floating an element automatically changes it display:block;
I think there's a couple things going on. Since the wrap is float:left, it switches to a block formatting context. It looks like the issue is that the whitespace that comes after the text (just before the nested float) is considered to be trailing since there is nothing is in the flow after it. So the width of the parent does not take into account the space, even though it does take up space when the layout is rendered as you can see in the html.
Removing the trailing space brings the X back onto the same line as the text.

If you want a space after the text, you should add a non-breaking space ( ) to the html instead.

I have HTML page that contain multiple div element each div is card that display as inline-block the number of generated div depends on row data comes from server, until here every things going as i need but theres whitespace between each card div that make an inappropriate display on phone and i think the problem from whitespace i'll attach screenshot for inspector?enter image description here
display:inline-block seems to leave very small spaces between elements.
Either use flexbox (display:flex on parent element) or a little trick of adding margin-left:-1px to each element (or however much space is being created between each element).
Inline elements are treated as text. (I'm making this overly simplified.) Notice that text has spaces between words. Images have spacing between them for the same reason. Therefore, inline elements will have spaces between elements.
The way around this is to trick the browser into thinking elements are letters
<div>content</div><div>content</div>
Now there is no spacing or elements between content.
There are other ways to do the same thing, such as:
<div>content</div
><div>content</div>
I'm trying to design a 2 column layout for getting a feel for HTML again.
I want to avoid using floats because I want to keep the natural document flow. Every other question on Stack Overflow I browsed through incorporate floats or worse tables. I tried layouting it with flex as well but I couldn't figure out how to make both the columns stay the same size on the other pages with different amounts of content in the first column.
Here's what I got so far: http://jsfiddle.net/wykenakw/
I figured out through trial and error that I can use a negative margin to line up the sidebar to the main content but it feels awkward, quirky and hacky. I inspected every element inside my columns but I couldn't find any potential child elements with margins that could cause this 4px gap. It's driving me nuts.
Am I missing something? Am I doing something wrong?
float is ideal because it will essentially cut out the "white space" for you. You can try and use: white-space-collapse:discard on parent elements (in this case #wrapper), but I rarely have success using it.
White space is just a "natural" occurrence created by the browser rendering. In order to avoid this (without using float), you need to simply remove the white space between your elements. This isn't ideal because of the flow and indentation of the elements, but without using float it's what has to be done.
Additionally, in my opinion there is nothing wrong with using float as a "natural document flow". You can always clear the elements.
So instead of:
</main>
<aside id="col_2">
You'd have:
</main><aside id="col_2">
Hope this helps!

Change your <main> into a <div> or use css to turn it into a block element:
main {
display: block;
}
As mentioned in the other answer actual spaces between the two elements is causing the unwanted whitespace. However spaces between two block elements is always ignored.
Could someone take a look at the following link of a work in progress test page for my new website - http://goo.gl/YwGiB
I'm new to CSS, and I have come across some issues that I can't figure out without some expert help. Could someone answer me three questions and possibly an explanation of how to amend it?
1) Why does my middle column by default split itself into sections, whereas my right hand column is pretty much the same but does not have the divisions? What could I do to cause that to default in the right hand column?
2) I am looking to have a box in the right hand column running parallel to the first box titled 'news' in the centre column, and then a second running parallel underneath this (with the box titled 'blog' but it will have an irregular length. What would be the best way to do this? Would this be a case for using the standard positioning commands to shift them into place or is there a better way?
3) I have stripped the padding and margins from my h1-h3 tags (specifically the h2 tag) yet there still appears to be space above the lettering. It is more pronounced when using the font MerceariaAntique which is going to be the final font, but unfortunately I am unable to amend my html file to show this right now. I am attempting to resolve it by adjusting the line-height but I am not getting anything consistent. Is there anything else I can do other than make line-height and margin adjustments?
Thanks in advance
Firstly, in your markup, you have divided your sections using the <div> element, which is completely acceptable, however you have used the same ID to identify each of them. This is what classes are for. IDs should be unique and only used once on a page, classes can be used to apply the same styles to multiple elements.
So this:
<div id="newsitem">
should be this:
<div class="newsitem">
Answers to your actual questions now!
By default, paragraph and headings have paddings and margins set. The reason your sections have spaces is down the margin on the paragraph tag. Removing this removes the space, but also brings the text together with the next heading. You can over come this by giving the <p> tags 0 margin and giving them padding, or giving padding to the section container instead.
If you want the boxes in the right hand column to line up with the ones in the middle column, you'll have to change how your layout works so that you have rows rather than columns I think. That would make it easier to line them up.
From your description, you should then have the following layout:
middle column | right column
middle column | right column
middle column
To maintain the background colour of the centre column, you could apply the background-color property to the class .centre or to be more specific .column.centre (this type of CSS selector might not work in IE6 though).
The issue with the H2 is down to line-height, each font may have a different line-height so you will have to play with the value until you get it right. If you find you're getting the top position right, but text underneath is getting closer or overlapping, give the H2 a padding-bottom value.
I see you are using h2 and h3, but I can't find an h1 that you mentioned. I'd remove "line-height" option from your css to prevent wrong/incorrect spacing.
To run div's parallel you need to have the same padding and margin on both divs (the left and right side). To do so just create a class "floatingColumn" that would float to the left and append it to both divs with all the margins and paddings.
I'm trying to create a block quote that has huge quotation marks on it's sides. The text content of the block quote is dynamic and so the marks should align according to it's size.
I've used an inline-block element so it will shrink-to-fit and contain it's text, and I'm 90% there, but my only problem is that an inline-block element becomes a block element when it has multiple lines.
To illustrate why this is a problem, I've made jsfiddle snippet:
http://jsfiddle.net/kTQqC/1/
As you can see, most of the blocks look right:
Single line - no problem. The closing mark attaches itself to the
last word.
Multiple lines - The blockquote takes full available
width. Still, not much of a problem.
Same as 2, just shorter words.
Here is where it get's tricky. Since the inline-block element
becomes a block element - it takes full available width and ruins the effect by putting the closing mark really far.
I have no control on the content's length of words. Sometimes example 4 will occur.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
I am also willing to throw away all of this code if you have a completely different approach to get the same effect.
Thanks!
If you are willing to use a bit of scripting, you could do the following:
Put your text in a span with a class, like so...
<span class="words">1. Hello</span>
Then get the width of each span and dynamically adjust the max-width
$('span.words').each(function(){
var a = $(this).width();
$(this).parent().css('max-width', a + 'px');
});

A span element will automatically be inline displayed, so your closing quote should automatically have been right beside your last word. I took your relative positioning off your blockquote element, and quote element. This left the spans sitting just a little up from the first/last words (as in too high) so I pushed them down using relative positioning on them individually, 10px for the opening, leaving it just above the first word, and 18px for the closing quote leaving it hanging below the last word. This is how these are when you see them in magazines.
I built a quick jQuery image slider today, but there's one problem. The images, which are inside divs, have a gap between them, offsetting them.
I've isolated the problem here: http://jsfiddle.net/UgzsH/
float: left; gets rid of that gap, but apparently because of the elements they are in, they stack vertically.
Unfortunately from this computer I can only test in Firefox. Thanks for any help.
Test case uses http://placekitten.com/.
Floating is how you get rid of the gap, but the last floated element is dropping down because the container is too small. The reason you get the gap is because elements that are display: inline with each other preserve the whitespace you get from the markup itself - if you remove the whitespace (meaning line-breaks) you'll notice the gaps go away. This makes your markup uglier, or course, hence why you use float instead. Make your containing div wider and they'll fit.
It's because in your HTML you have spaces between the divs and such. Try putting all the images and divs in one line of your HTML without spaces between the tags. No spaces!
Hope this helps and good luck!
EDIT: Here's the updated code. It looks a bit messy, but there are no spaces any more!
