I want to do this with CSS only. I have an unordered list and some hyperlinked list items and I want to limit the width and height of the links (list items) to width:300px and height:1.5em. So, no matter what the length of the links are, only up to 300px of the links will be showing and the rest will be hidden because of height limit and overflow:hidden. I want to show the rest of the link on mouse hover.
I can partially do this and hover over links shows the rest of the content BUT it also pushes down the content below it.
Is it possible, to show the rest of the content on mouseover WITHOUT pushing down the content below it?
Please see this fiddle 'http://jsfiddle.net/3VyaC/'
Looks a little clunky, but it's close to the effect you're shooting for. Only changed your CSS:
body {font-family: arial; font-size: 0.8em;}
.news-entry ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0 0 0 8px;
width: 300px;
}
.news-entry li {
border-top: 1px solid #dcdcdc;
width:300px;
height:1.5em;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
}
.news-entry li a.itemtitle {
display: block;
width: 100%;
padding: 4px 0 3px 0;
line-height: 1.5em;
text-decoration: none;
}
.news-entry li:hover {
color: #333;
background-color: #fafafa;
overflow:visible;
z-index:10;
}
.news-entry li:hover a{
position:absolute;
width:100%;
background-color:#fafafa;
border:1px solid #555;
}

Might need to tweak the margins when the link changes to absolute position, there's a 1-2px glitch.
Hope this helps!
There would not be a way to do this. The only way you could actually do that is by setting position: absolute; but that would make the link sit on top of the next one. So to basically answer your question, there is not a way to do this with the width set as you have it.

Image inside div has extra space below the image
(10 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I can't figure out how to remove this space from my navbar and the picture..
The CSS code I have for the navbar and the image is:
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
padding-right: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 0;
}
a:hover {
color: black;
}
header {
background-color: #C0C0C0;
margin: 3px 60px 0;
}
li {
display: inline;
border-right: 1px solid black;
border-left: 1px solid black;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
border-top-left-radius: 0px;
border-top-right-radius: 0px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
}
nav {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
#bikebanner {
position: relative;
left: 65px;
}
#bikebanner is the image id.
And the html goes like so:
<header>
<img src="images/bicyclebanner.jpg" id="bikebanner" alt="People riding bikes." title="Biking">
<h1 id="pagetitle">Cycling Tours</h1>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>About Us</li>
<li>Ask Us</li>
<li>Destinations</li>
<li>FAQ</li>
<li>Reviews</li>
<li>Seminars</li>
<li>Trip Prep</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
Looking for a universal fit as I have other things with white space between them as well.
Thanks.
Try adding this to your css:
img{
display:block;
}
img is of type inline-block which adds a little space which is hard to find.
setting it to block should fix it.
what space you are talking about ?
Keep in mind h1 by default has white space around it
every h1-h6 tag has a margin top and bottom by default. i think if you overwrite this in your css you have what you want.
h1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
look at this jsfiddle https://jsfiddle.net/zn7wtdLp/
This drives a lot of people crazy initially and the solution is not obvious, but images, lists and list items end up with a small space like this due to the font size inherited by or set on the img or ul. If you do nothing, the img and ul inherit the body font size (often 14px - 16px) with results in this 0.25rem (or 3.5px - 4px) space issue.
Nav Items
There are two popular solutions:
Float your list items left and make sure that you add a clearfix to your ul or its container, or
My preferred solution: Set the font-size on the ul to 0 and then the font-size on the li to 1rem (or whatever).
So my CSS would look something like this:
ul {
font-size: 0;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
li {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 1rem;
}
Images
If you set the image to display: block, this would kill the space below the image. This comes with its own caveats as well. For example, if you want it centered after you switch it to display: block;, you'll need to set the side margins to auto. Something like this:
header img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
The problem is display:inline. This treats the elements like text, so if you have
<li>...</li>
<li>...</li>
you have the problem you mentioned, because the linebreaks cause a space.
Try to put your list elements like this:
<li>...</li><li>...</li>

Ok this is simple thing. I firstly created a usual "Home" Button linking to the Home Page of the website, but the word "Home" looked too obvious. Hence I tried to insert an icon in place of that word, but its not fitting properly. I have tried some things in my css but its messing up the whole (used to create the navigation menu). The screenshot is attached. Please if someone can see whats wrong.
CSS:-
ul#menu
{
padding: 0px;
position: relative;
margin: 0;
}
ul#menu li
{
display: inline;
text-decoration:solid;
}
ul#menu li a
{
color: black;
background-color: #f5b45a;
padding: 10px 20px;
text-decoration: none;
line-height: 2.8em;
/*CSS3 properties*/
border-radius: 4px 4px 0 0;
}
HTML:-
<ul id="menu">
<li id="Home_Link"><img src="../../Image_Data/Home_Icon.ico" id="Home_Icon"/></li>
<li>MEN</li>
<li>WOMEN</li>
<li>KIDS</li>
<li>DESIGN!!</li>
With your current styles you will need to play around with the vertical-alignment and margins for the image, something like:
ul#menu li#Home_Link a img {
vertical-align: text-bottom;
margin-bottom: -5px;
}
As a side note, your use of ID's for elements is not recommended - use classes if needed. And reduce the specificity of your style declarations, e.g. .home-link img
I have ONLY one <UL> and under that we have group of <LI>
<ul>
<li>1<li>
<li>2<li>
<li>3</li>
<li>4<li>
</ul>
now I wanted to show them as TABLE, please help me with CSS, how can we show as a TABLE for above UL/LI in below table format, 2 LI set in one TR (two TD) and so on....
Well, here's one possible solution:
ul {
width: 450px; /* change it to whatever you like */
position: relative;
/* these should be probably already set up by `reset.css` */
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul:before, ul:after {
text-align: center;
display: block;
border: 1px solid black;
border-bottom: 0;
width: 48%;
}
ul:before {
content: 'col1';
border-right: 0;
}
ul:after {
content: 'col2';
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 48%;
margin-left: 1px;
}
li {
text-align: right;
width: 48%;
float: left;
border: 1px solid black;
margin-bottom: -1px;
}
li:nth-child(even) {
margin-left: -1px;
}
It works (JSFiddle; tested in Chrome, Firefox and Opera; nth-child(even) selector obviously fails in IE8, so you have to emulate it with class or other means; but otherwise it's still solid), but I admit I feel guilty about this. )
P.S. If you want to add padding to the "cell" contents, don't forget to change their widths as well, like here:
li {
width: 47%;
padding-right: 1%;
}
It's a really late answer, but I think this is a common topic. Here's a codepen I made.
Obviously it's just a starting point. It also has some example of how to add styles like bg or borders. If the 'cells' contain some arbitrary content, you'll have to adjust dimensions, for example. I use this kind of code for thumbnails galleries, for example, where you don't have to worry about borders or bgs and it's quite elementary code (the example is for a 2x3 table, see codepen):
ul{
list-style:none;
}
ul li{
float:left;
padding:10px;
border-bottom:1px solid #000;
border-right:1px solid #000;
}
ul li:nth-child(3n){
background-color:#888;
}
ul li:nth-child(3n+1){
clear:both;
border-left:1px solid #000;
background-color:#ccc;
}
ul li:nth-child(-n+3){
border-top:1px solid #000;
}
Hope it helps.
You cannot convert a single list (containing more than 2 items) into 2 columns via the display: table properties because you need some element to act as the table-row. Without an element acting as a table-row, all adjacent elements that are set to display: table-cell will be contained within an anonymous table-row element that cannot be modified or styled in any way.
Your only option is to either change the markup (to use tables or lists of lists) or use a different approach to your CSS: either floats/inline-block on the lis or using the columns property on the ul.
I am trying to do a custom bullet list. However, I want to use the same background-image, but changing the background-position (to give a cool effect)
The CSS I have is:
#sidebar ul{
width:190px;
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
#sidebar li{
border-top:1px dashed #ddd;
background:#FAFAFA url('./images/bullet.png') no-repeat 15px 9px;
}
#sidebar li:hover{
background-color:#fff;
background-position:15px 0px;
}
#sidebar li a{
display:block;
padding:5px 20px 5px 26px; /*26 to give extra 6px for the bullet*/
}
The bullet changes correctly, and everything is ok. Except that both bullets are always visible :(
I want to know if there is a way to hide the other bullet.
An option could be to spread the images very far away (more than the height will ever be), but this is just a bad idea, and I don't want to have a big image size.
I am open for other methods, if the way I am trying to do is just not good and you know a better way, please tell me.
I think it would be better to do something like this. Adjust values to your needs.
<li><span></span></li>
.
li { position: relative; }
li span {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
margin-right: 16px;
background: url('img.jpg') 0 0 no-repeat;
}
li:hover span { background-position: 0 -16px; }
I am trying to center vertically the text in my menu bar. I have tried editing the HTML and CSS, but had no luck making it work.

Could anyone give some idea, please! Many thanks!
Instead of giving the anchor elements specific width and height (which is useless anyway, because they are given display: block already), you can give them a padding:
#menu li a {
padding: 1em 0;
}
To your .vertical li a rule, add:
line-height: 4em;
vertical-align: middle;
change .vertical li a to
.vertical li a{
border-color:-moz-use-text-color;
border-right:1px solid;
border-style:none solid solid;
border-width:0 1px 1px;
display:block;
line-height:4em;
padding:0.2em 10px;
text-decoration:none;
width:200px;
text-align:center;}
