I am working on a blog: http://poweryogatrainings.blogspot.com/search. If you check the link you can see that currently the blog posts are just below the thumbnail. Now I am trying to make the blog posts align beside (on the right side of) the thumbnail but I am not sure how. Does anyone know what is causing the line break and what can I do to avoid it?
Also I think there was a website where you could edit codes of your website and watch the preview without actually changing the codes. Any ideas about it?
Simply add left float to the image, and give it some space to the right and bottom, as below:
img.postthumb {
float: left;
margin: 0 10px 10px 0;
}
Use float to place your contents on same line. Like float:left; for img tag will allow contents to be displayed horizontally.
if your thumbnails are all the same width, then you can do this:
article { overflow: hidden; /* or some other clearfix method */ }
article img.postthumb { float: left; }
article h3, article header, article div.postbody, article footer { margin-left: WIDTH_OF_IMAGE }
a few points:
WIDTH_OF_IMAGE should be replaced by the actual width of your image, and possibly any extra space that you want to appear between it and the words of your article
the code I've recommended will line things up in columns, if you want to avoid that, then just remove the third line of css and you will have flowing paragraphs which wrap the image
there is a lot you could do to make your code a bit more consise, for instance your article's h3 tag should really be in your article's header tag etc. You also have <title> and <meta> tags in your body, when these are best placed in the <head> of your document..
anyway, good luck, I love yoga sites in general and, look forward to seeing the finished article

There is some empty space on the right side of a subreddit that I moderate, r/Fantasy. The page looks normal on load, but there's a horizontal scrollbar, which if I scroll shows the empty space, with just the background, like so:
Same issue on mobile. The CSS for the subreddit can be seen here.
I think the element causing the issue is the div containing the AMA schedule in way down in the sidebar, but can't figure out what's wrong with it. I'm pretty much dead in the water when it comes to web design/CSS, so any help is appreciated.
And yes, I realise plenty of similar questions exist already, but none of their solutions helped me yet.
Problem is caused by the class .side .md blockquote:nth-of-type(1):after ,
which is used to create the separator. This has the property display:block and width:400px; which is causing it to overflow. You can change the display type to initial or put a overflow-x hidden on parent element.
you can add the property overflow-x: hidden to the class .side .md blockquote to get rid of the empty space.
.side .md blockquote {
color: #000;
font-size: 13px;
overflow-x: hidden;
}
I've created a codepen for this, but the issue is basically beneath my YouTube embed there's a margin (Seperating the footer from the page) and I don't understand why, I'm still learning when it comes to web development, so I'll be grateful for any explanations.

Links to codepen must be accompanied by code,
but it's all on codepen, considering there's not much.
It's because an iframe element is inline by default. The reason you are seeing whitespace below the iframe is because inline elements are aligned this way so that there is reserved space below the element for letters such as p, y, q.
You could either change the display of the iframe element to block: (example)
iframe {
display: block;
}
..or you could change the value of the vertical-align property to something other than the default value of baseline. In this case, a value of top would work: (example)
iframe {
vertical-align: top;
}
You can still use what you have, if you edit your CSS and change this code:
#body_wrapper footer {
margin-top: -6px;
}
Not exactly a professional way to do things as you will see the comments i shall get for it but it does fix your problem at hand.
I am new to CSS and learning it side by side while making a site.
I am confused about how to position elements.I want to know whether I should use div to position elements or do I do it directly by either using tags and ids.If I use tag names and IDs I don't have to use div separately to position the elements. I can both style and position at the same time.
When to use div and when not to?
Actually, I am trying to build something like this:
HTML5 has made divs a bit outdated with the introduction of the header, footer, aside, section, article tags and so on. In HTML5, divs should only be used when the content cannot fit inside one of the newer, more fitting tags that I just listed. Check out this article for better clarification.
If I understand your question properly, it appears to me that you have a misunderstanding of some very basic concepts.
Basically, a div can be thought of as a Container, Panel or Element which hosts other elements. You can position a div, but chances are you're also going to want to position any other element, so here is some very basic code:
Positioning an element:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="uniqueDiv">
<!-- You cannot use the same ID on any element more than once on a page. If you need multiple elements with the same "id", use class instead. -->
<img id="one" src="one.png" />
<img id="two" src="two.png" />
</div>
</body>
</html>
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; outline: 0; border: 0; outline: none; border: none; }
uniqueDiv img {
margin: 10px 0 0 0;
}
#one {
float: left;
}
#two {
float: right;
}
The is the basic premise behind positioning. I did not add an example for Padding, but you should not position elements using Padding. You should use margin instead. Also, the line that begins with * is called a CSS Reset and the goal of a reset stylesheet is to reduce browser inconsistencies in things like default line heights, margins etc.
Here's a brief explanation of what this code does:
The top piece of code is obviously HTML. It should be placed in its own .html file. The bottom piece, the CSS, should be placed in its own .css file.
So, we have 1 div and two images inside it. In this scenario, we want to have one image to the far left of the div and another to the far right. We also want to push both images down by about 10 pixels (positioning).
So, uniqueDiv img {} is used to position all images contained within the uniqueDiv down by 10 pixels from the top of its div. #one {} and #two are used to float the image to the left and the right.
My advice as per the excellent book "The Truth About HTML5 by Luke Stevens" switching to "Sections" "Header", "Footer", "Aside" etc can have accessibility problems as HTML5 is not recognized by all devices so to combat this you can make use of ARIA "Roles". You can still use Divs and assign "Roles" for your layouts, but adopting the HTML5 approach is what I would do.
Some good info is here;

I have attached an example of what I am trying to achieve using html/css (if you cannot see the image it is: first name and surname, then second line is job description). I would like the all the text (both lines) to be forced justified (left and right) within a div but I am not sure if it is possible. I have tried a few things with no success. I would rather not use an image, so any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Browsers generally do a crap job at full justification. If you are a design company using this to promote yourself, I'd avoid it.
Also, it only works on paragraphs of text, not single lines.
You can try tweaking the CSS letter spacing to get the effect you're looking for.
Use text-align-last: justify:
.justified {
text-align: justify;
text-align-last: justify;
}
.justified:after {
content: ".";
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
height: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}

Since you only want to style the title, you can create specific styles for it. Try combining font-size with letter-spacing until you get the effect you want to achieve.
Text align: justified is for a different purpose, it's meant for paragraphs (or long blocks of text). If you don't have enough text to reach the end of the line, it doesn't work.

How to remove margin space around body or clear default css styles
(7 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
In this test page, the element has a strange extra amount of space on the top:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3085200/canvasTest/index.html
I tried putting margin, padding, top all to 0 for body, and padding to 0 for html, but none of it helped.
html
{
padding:0px;
}
body
{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
top:0px;
}
Try this in css:
h1 {
margin-top: 0;
}
This is a common scenario (logo image wrapped in h1 tag):
I believe this is actually caused by the margin on your h1 element.
You <h1> has default margin-top added to it, so it's pushing the <body> down from the top of the window.
body > h1:first-child { margin-top: 0; }
My console is showing a 0.67em top margin on the <h1> surrounding your top element.
Try this...
h1 {
margin: 0;
}
Well, I'm sure the experts will laugh at this. I started using Expression Web 4 and tried to place the header info for my pages into a file header.txt to include on every page. I changed the file type from html to shtml and used this line:
All okay, except for a pesky extra space at the top of the file.
The solution was this:
Tools>Page Editor Options>Authoring
Uncheck .txt under "Add a Byte Order Mark when creating or renaming UTF-8 documents with these file extensions."
I hope this helps someone else as naive as I.
You can try to put a display flex on your body, it worked in my case
Hope it will help someone :)
I recognize that space at the top. This often happens to me too. In my case there is a hidden break (<br/>) somewhere between the <head> and <body>. When you find this break and remove it, the top space will be fixed!
html > h1:first-child { margin-top: 0; }
I know this post is old, but I wanted to share a different solution that worked for me, for anyone that might come across this same post, looking for help, as I have.
Every solution I found seemed to be the result of an error, but I didn't have any errors, that could see. After over an hour of problem solving and piecing apart one of my past designs, I found this solution:
In the CSS for the DIV that you want attached to the top of the browser, add this one simple line:
#ContentContainer{
border: 1px solid transparent;
};
I'm not quite sure why it works or why it's needed, but it made the gap disappear.
