HTML:
hello there! <div class='badge'>give this a small margin.</div> Please!
CSS:
.badge {
display: inline-block;
margin-top: -2px;
}
See fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/ThySQ/2/
How to give the text in the div a margin? It doesn't seem to work like this.
Adding a negative margin to inline content won't work (at least on most browsers). If you want to move the text upwards you can position the element relatively and set the top to a negative number.
.badge {
display: inline-block;
top: -2px;
position: relative;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/ThySQ/4/
You need to apply padding to the div to have the extra space applied within the div.
.badge {
display: inline-block;
margin-top: -2px;
padding: 4px; /* sets up a 4px margin all around the inside edge of the div */
}
That will affect whatever content is within the div.

The content of hr tag flow around floating elements as if it is inline elements (even if it is actually blocks). That's what I need but unfortunately hr can't have child elements except two pseudo elements.
Take a look on this demo on JsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/P3KEZ/
<div id="right"></div>
<div class="divider"></div>
<hr class="divider" />
#right{
background: #ffaaaa;
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
float: right
}
.divider {
background: #4d9d4d;
height: 20px;
border: none;
position: relative;
}
.divider:after, .divider:before {
content: " ";
width: 20%;
height: 100%;
display: inline-block;
position: absolute;
background: #a2a2f2;
top: 0;
}
divider:before {
left: 0;
}
.divider:after {
right: 0;
}
What I actually want is to get element with content flow around the floating elements (like hr do) but also can have at least 3 child elements (like div can do).
So question is: how to emulate such behaviour in div? (without display: flex)

You want to harvest the power of the mighty overflow property … (*thunderclap*)
.divider {
/* … */
overflow:hidden;
}
Normally, a block element is layed out behind a floating element, only its inline content floats next to the floated element – but with overflow:hidden you can change that, so that a block element like div only takes the space that is left beside the floating element. (It does not actually have to be hidden – everything besides the default value visible will trigger this behavior, so you can use auto or scroll as well if those suit your actual use-case better.)

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

Look at my html + css code: http://jsfiddle.net/nP39E/1/
I'll explain if don't understand what I want to achieve:
I want a page with a div which floating right and takes 250px width and a div that takes width of the rest of the document.
In the left div, you can see that I have some other floating elements, and their heights are effected from the right div. You can see the first (red) row with height that align with the right bar's height and has nothing to do with the real content of its content.
I use group class in order to handle the common floating problem: .group:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; }
Can you tell me why it happens?
I just changed CSS for the content div from the last answer:
.content {
background: #888;
padding: 10px;
position: absolute;
right: 270px;
left: 0;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/nP39E/4/
What you think?
display: table isn't meant to be used for layouts like this, it's more useful for specific equal-height situations.
Properly floating the divs and not using the margin-right to push the left div will work:
.content {
background: #888;
padding: 10px;
float: left;
width: 250px;
}
Fiddle
You are giving margin-right:270px which is wider than the available space,So just remove that. Also you should make content float:left.
.content {
background: #888;
padding: 10px;
float:left;
}

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 have a DIV containing an image and a second DIV. The parent DIV is set to position: absolute; the child DIV is set to position: relative. The idea is that I display my photo caption on top of my image.
The child DIV should have 100% width of the parent, minus 10px on the left, right and bottom, plus a black background.
.article-container {
position: relative;
}
.photo-caption {
width: 100%;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
<div class="span15 article-container">
<img src="images/example-image-1.png" />
<div class="photo-caption">This is the subtitle text on top.</div>
</div>
The left margin bumps .photo-caption outside the bounds of .article-container. The right margin doesn't seem to have any effect.
I've also tried fixing this with box-sizing. It seems to get the width of .photo-caption down to the parent width but there's still the overhang.
It's better if you remove width:100%. write like this:
.photo-caption {
left:0;
right:0;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
An absolutely positioned element is positioned with top, left, right and bottom, not with margin.
The problem is that width=100% would give photo-caption exact width of article-container; adding margins (or padding) would not affect width calculation. You can do this yourself using the css calc() so the style become:
.photo-caption {
width: calc(100% - 20px); // 20 = right margin + left margin
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
Note that you might want to check for calc() browser support here
The problem is that you're setting your width to 100% which gives no room for margins. Instead adjust your width to a percentage less than 100% and then specify your margin as half the percentage of the remaining space.
For Example:
style="width:98%; margin-left: 1%;"
Use either padding in conjunction with box-sizing, or nested block with margins inside your absolutely positioned one without margins.
You don't need width:100% if you display block. That might solve all these little issues.
.photo-caption {
display:block;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding:10px
}
For:
Simple answer : don't try to use margin-right . Use ' margin-left: xxxpx; ' - make the xxx large enough to push your div box (Div Style= box) right as far as needed. No need for a fiddle, can put it exactly where you want it.
Margin is the distance from each side to the neighboring element OR the borders of document.
Margin right didn't means that it will push the element towards left.It means that it will generate space on right side.If next element will come it will come after mentioned margin-right.In your case width is 100%.No space is available for margin-right.
Confusion point:
1) visual effect is different where width is auto.Same margin is generated in right.But due to absence of width property.Width is free to change.
2) Same effect when element is floated right.
These 2 above mentioned points will made different image of margin-right in mind.
