This should be a simple solution, but I can't seem to figure it out. Take a look at the fiddle. Why can't I override the font-size of the second span? Here is the code:
html:
<h1>
<span>hello </span>
<span id="span2">world</span>
</h1>
css:
h1
{
font-size:2em;
}
h1 #span2
{
font-size:1em !important;
}
Because you set the font-size of <h1> to 2em. the span inside of your <h1> is 1 em that means something like 100% of the inherited font-size. see what happens if you set the font-size of span2 to 0.5em
and btw, your first span is missing a proper ending tag.
add
#span2 {
font-size:1em !important;
}
Try This
h1 span
{
font-size:2em;
}
h1 span#span2
{
font-size:1em !important;
}
em's are relative units of measurement. You could almost substitute "%" instead of "em". So, when your span rule has "1em", it's interpreted as "make me 100% the size of my parent", thus, no effect.
If you want it to be half the h1 size, you need:
#span2 {
font-size: .5em;
}
See this updated fiddle.

<div class="price heading-font">
<span>$5 000</span>
"/Day"
</div>
I'm stuck, I normally just go into styles, copy the element, and remove it through CSS but the text "/day" doesn't have a style. How can i remove the text?
You can make the font size 0 for the whole div and then make it something positive for the span within it.
Because the selector is more specific it will override the div’s setting.
This method has the advantage that the text you don’t want to show isn’t taking up space, but any borders, margins etc to the div remain.
div.price.heading-font {
font-size: 0;
}
div.price.heading-font span {
font-size: 16px;
}
You can use CSS to hide "/Day" text. First, apply font-size to 0 on .price class and then give the initial font-size to .price > span as follows:
.price {
font-size:0;
}
.price > span {
font-size: 16px; /* assuming 16px was your initial font size */
}
Ok, first off I want you all to know that I have tried using the <span></span> tag (though maybe incorrectly).
Is there something I'm doing wrong with the <span></span> tag? Or is there something I need to do differently altogether?
Here is my current code to create a space without <br></br>:
#beforeImage span {
padding: 40px;
}
<span id="beforeImage">text</span>
2 things to fix:
you were applying the CSS to span of an ID selector, but you were using a span with an ID selector in your HTML.
span won't have padding because it is an inline element by default, so set inline-block or block
Snippet
#beforeImage {
padding: 40px;
display: inline-block; /* or block */
/* demo */
background: red
}
<span id="beforeImage">Foo bar</span>
<span> is by default an inline element and will not be sized nor accept vertical padding without resetting its display to inline-block ( or else but inline).
You might look for:
span{
display:inline-block;
padding: 40px;
}
beside, br could still be used
br {
line-height:3em;
vertical-align:top;/* debug FF/IE */
}
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/GoVdYY
But, do you really need an extra tag, could you not apply a bottom margin or padding to another element ?
Can simply target the Id of the span:
#beforeImage{
display:inline-block;
padding: 40px;
}
Or all spans:
span{
display:inline-block;
padding: 40px;
}
On this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1725486/2519402 to a question, it states:
It sounds like you had h1 .myClass instead of h1.myClass - there's an
important distinction:
h1 .myClass { } /* any element with class="myClass" within an <h1> */
h1.myClass { } /* any <h1> with class="myClass" */
I don't have enough points to ask my question as a comment on that answer.
So, based on what is said above, shouldn't the following code work:
<style>
h3 .h3nobtmgn {
margin-bottom:-20px;
}
</style>
<h3><strong class="h3nobtmgn">Why would I need or want this item?</strong></h3>
Yes, but vertical margin styles won't work on an inline element like <strong>. http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#propdef-margin-top
So your CSS selector will target the correct element but the style you applied will have no effect.
For that to work you can try:
<style>
h3 .h3nobtmgn {
display: block;
margin-bottom:-20px;
}
</style>
<h3><strong class="h3nobtmgn">Why would I need or want this item?</strong></h3>
Yes it does.
h1.myClass would change the appearance of
<h1 class="myClass">...</h1>
And h1 .myClass would change the appearance of
<h1> ... <span class="myClass">...</span></h1>
You will see through http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/trysel.asp that when you are doing div p it will select all p inside of div. So, the answer is yes.
here is a sample: https://jsfiddle.net/r5d0kkb5/
which shows selectors for div p and div .B and also div .A for your thoughts.
Code:
<div class="A">
<p >
A
</p>
<p class="B">
B
</p>
</div>
Css:
div p {
background-color: cyan;
}
div .B{
font-size: 32px;
}
div .A{
color: red;
}
I changed markup in one page like this,
before change
<div class="header-wrapper header">
<h1 wicket:id="headerTitle" class="dealer-name">Excellence Holden</h1>
</div>
after change
<h1 class="header-wrapper header">
<span wicket:id="headerTitle" class="dealer-name">Excellence Holden</span>
</h1>
after changing the mark up the font size of "Excellence Holden" is increasing .It will happen or I am doing something wrong ?
css code:
.header-wrapper {
padding:15px 0;
}
.header-wrapper .dealer-name {
text-align: center;
font-size: 1.3em;
}
After the change, the font size set on the inner element, 1.3em, changes its meaning. The reason is when used in the value of the font-size element, the em unit denotes the font size of the parent element. Here the parent element is an h1 element, and the common and recommended browser default is that h1 element has a font size of 2em, i.e. twice its parent’s font size.
To override this effect, add the following:
h1.header-wrapper { font-size: 1em; }
You need to change the font size of the span in css, find the font defined for h1 then apply the same font to the tag
Because if you do not reset the font-size for h1, it automatically is higher than normal.
I would say that is a CSS related,
usually the new CSS files contains Font (Size, Family, weight) properties for <h1> tags.
please check both h1 and span CSS Attributes. you can use the browser inspectors (Chrome Inspect Element) to see the actual attributes.
It's because of your styling. When changing HTML like this you need to ensure that the styling is also changed accordingly.
For example:
div.header { font-weight:bold; }
div.header h1 { font-size:24px; }
The above CSS would be applied to the first HTML snippet, but not the second. You'd have to change this to:
h1.header { font-weight:bold; }
h1.header span { font-size:24px; }
And also ensure that there is no other h1 or span styling that may affect this.
Consider the following example: (live demo)
HTML:
<div>
<p>
<strong>Stack</strong>
<span>Overflow</span>
</p>
</div>
CSS:
p {
background-color: #aaa;
}
span {
background-color: #777;
}
How could I make <span>'s width to be all the available space?
Note: <strong> and <span> should be on the same line.
If you want the items on the same line with the full width taken up you could do this.
http://jsfiddle.net/Sohnee/Gfyjc/
p {
background-color: #aaa;
}
strong {
float: left;
}
span {
display: block;
background-color: #777;
margin-left: 40px;
}
But a better alternative would be to get the background-color run from the parent element.
If you don't need the span to actually be that wide, only have it look like it is, you can simply give the <p> the background colour of the <span> in your example, and the <strong> the background colour of the <p>.
p {
background-color: #777;
}
p strong {
background-color: #aaa;
}
See this example.
This only works correctly as long as the <p> has a padding of zero, though. Otherwise, you'll need the solution with the float.
Use display: inline-block to have possibility to set size and keep element positioned as inline elements. Mathias example changed to use inline-block: http://jsfiddle.net/gXDjZ/7/
span is basically an inline element
making it a block element using display:block; will add a \n before n after the element
so making it a block will take the span to the next line and you can float:left; on its sibling and bring it back to the same line
something like this
strong{
background-color: #aaa;
float:left;
}
span {
display: block;
background-color: #777;
}
you can also use padding-right:__px; in span
so that it takes up the adjacent spaces
span{ padding-right:433px; }
