I'm going to die. This is happening to me the second time this week, however I have not idea how i fixed it the first time.
I'm completely helpless and angry. First off, w3c validator says no errors. My SASS Framework for CSS says no errors and I just don't have errors.
this is all I have, the entire page is styled successfully...
<body>
<div id="doc">
<header>
<div class="inner">
<div id="branding">
<a class="logo" href="#">Jihaa</a>
</div>
...and suddenly... i can't select the .logo inside of #branding ARRRRGGGG.
#branding .logo {
width: 200px;
height: 70px;
background: red;
}
this should do the job right, but no.
Neither does this header #branding .inner .logo {or any other possible combination.
Why? I'm completely helpless. No inspecting tool in all my browsers selects the appropriate css. It just doesn't relate to it!
.logo is an a which is an inline element and won't accept width and height.
Add display:inline-block; to the style and it should work.
#branding .logo {
width: 200px;
height: 70px;
background: red;
display:inline-block;
}
EDIT
To address #jackJoe's comment below.
In case you need to support IE6 or 7, you can add the following at the bottom of the rule:
zoom:1;
*display: inline;
_height: 12px; //or whatever you need
I don't think you can set a width or height for an anchor because it is an inline element.
Use the {display:inline-block;} that Jason Gennaro mentioned above.
in this case, if you would like to style the a with those properties, you need to specify its display to block
#branding .logo {
width: 200px;
height: 70px;
background: red;
display: block;
}
Make sure you don't use the same ids anywhere else in the page.
Also try taking the logo class out of a tag and put it in a div.
What makes you think you cannot select it? If its because your height and width are being ignored in your .logo class, that would be because you need to display:block .logo in order for your to respect them.

I created a site on my blog where I'm putting yt videos. Unfortunately the container of this site goes left and I have no idea why. It doesn't happen to any other site of the blog.
I'm using Virtue theme - https://www.kadencethemes.com/product/virtue-free-theme/
Here's the link to the site I have problem with: http://mlodziez-wks.slask.pl/multimedia/wideo/
I would be more than thankful for help.
This is happening because you added that CSS in your stylesheet
.wideo {
width: 300px;
heignt: 169px;
display: inline-block;
}
Which class is getting called in your "body" tag. And you are forcing your body to stay in 300px width only. Therefore you need to remove it or replace it with
.wideo {
width: 100%;
heignt: 169px;
display: inline-block;
}
it is because you have the CSS class wideo iny our body element, that is adding the following CSS style to it:
width: 300px;
heignt: 169px;
display: inline-block;
You need to remove this class from the body, it is defined outside a CSS file, so it must be added over some theme customisation or similar stuff.
Set your css to
.wideo {
width:100%;
height: 169px;
display: inline-block;
}
This will solve your problem.
Question 1: css doesn't style div id
In my html file I've created a div id for a top bar (with text + social links). In the related css file I've created the corresponding style
#topbar {
height: 40px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #383433;
margin: auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
#topbar p {
color: white;
}
<div id="topbar">
<p>Text text text</p>
</div>
The text becomes white, but the height, background color etc. isn't coming through. Am I overlooking something?
Question 2: can I style an image as part of a div id?
Html:
<div id="scroller">
<img src="images/scroller-1.jpg">
</div>
When I add:
#scroller {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
The image doesn't get responsive / resized.
If I add:
#scroller img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
It works.
So elements part of a div-id don't inherit the parent-style?
First of all: If you have two questions, its better to post them seperated. It is cleaner this way.
To question 1: It is working actually. You can run your pasted code snippet. Likely, some other style is overwriting it. Since we cant know which one it is, the only advice i can give you is to write !important behind your css code like this:
height: 40px !important;
This way, nothing can overwrite it except styles that also have an !important tag.
To question 2:
So elements part of a div-id don't inherit the parent-style?
Well, it depends. You can set the font-color of a div then the headlines and p tags in this div will have the same color unless you specify it otherwise like
#scroller{
color:blue;
}
#scroller p{
color:red;
}
Images dont inherit from divs. They are by default always the full image size so you have to specifiy their size seperately if it should be the full width at all times.

Im trying to accomplish the next situation;
If got a h1 tag, and right of it i want a small line (separator.png)
But my image keeps crossing the h1 text..
http://i57.tinypic.com/2m30l51.png
I've got a example of how i need it to be;
http://themes.webcreations907.com/ninezeroseven/option-two/#prettyPhoto
Those titles: "Take a Look, Recent Works"
HTML is like this;
<div class="titleBar">
<h1 class="left"><span>DIENSTEN</span></h1>
</div>
CSS;
#diensten .titleBar{
background:url('images/sep.png') repeat-x;
background-position:center;
}
#diensten .titleBar h1{
display: inline-block;
}
If tried a lot of things, even copied the code from the original site, but actually i have nog idea what to do.. Can someone help me with it?
Thanks
UPDATE
So i've tried all the things you guys answered.
So far none of them are working for me..
First;
The background tag, smart idea but my page background is transparant.. So transparant on transparant won't work. And even if i make the background transparent, the line will shine trough it. Are there any solutions to this problem? Because its a easy way to do it with a background tag.
Second;
Paulie_D's solution, i actually don't understand it.. Not advanced enough is guess, tried copying the exact code and change the parameters so it fits in my coding, but didn't work.. Can you help me making it fit my coding?
Simply give your h1 element a background of its own which matches the background of the page.
#diensten .titleBar h1 {
background: #f00;
display: inline-block;
}
You can then space the line apart from the h1 element by introducing some right padding (which will extend the background past the end of the text):
#diensten .titleBar h1 {
...
padding-right: 10px;
}
Your div titleBar is around the h1 title, I don't think using inline-block will solve this.
You should just wrap all around a div :
<div class="titleWraper">
<h1>DIENSTEN</h1>
<div class="titleBar">
</div>
</div>
and your css like this :
#diensten .titleBar{
background:url('images/sep.png') repeat-x;
background-position:center;
display: inline-block;
}
#diensten .titleWraper h1{
display: inline-block;
}
You can get the same kind of style. But the thing, they used some background color around h1 tag to avoid to show the stripped line(used as a background for titlebar). If you are ok with the effect do the following. Add your css like below and check the jsfiddle below.
.titleBar{
background:url('http://themes.webcreations907.com/ninezeroseven/option-two/wp- content/themes/ninezeroseven/assets/img/theme/sep.png') repeat-x 0 55%;
background-position:center;
padding-top:0;
}
.titleBar h1{
display: inline-block;
background-color:#f2f2f2;
}

A pseudo element will work although it does require an additional span but you can dispense with the image if required.
Codepen.io Demo
HTML
<h1 class="left"><span>Some Text</span></h1>
CSS
h1 {
overflow:hidden; /* hides all extra pixels */
font-size:2em;
}
h1 > span {
diaplay:inline-block;
position:relative;
}
h1.left > span:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
left:100%;
top: 50%;
height: 1px;
width:2000px; /* some really large number*/
background:red;
margin-left:0.5em; /* or remove and add padding-right to span */
}
I'd like to have a line that starts right after my text on the same line, I've tried with the following simple code
<html><body>My Text<hr/></body></html>
It seems that <hr> is not an option because it is always on a new line and I'd like the line to start at the right of my text.
Any help ?
The <hr> has default styling that puts it on a new line. However that default styling can be over-ridden, in the same way as it can for any other element. <hr> is in essence nothing more than an empty <div> with a default border setting.
To demonstrate this, try the following:
<div>Blah blah<hr style='display:inline-block; width:100px;' />dfgdfg</div>
There are a number of ways to override the styling of <hr> to acheive your aim.
You could try using display:inline-block; along with a width setting, as I have above. The down-side of this approach is that it requires you to know the width you want, though there are ways around this - width:100%;, and the whole line in a container <div> that has overflow:hidden; might do the trick, for example:
<div style='overflow:hidden; white-space:nowrap;'>Blah blah<hr style='display:inline-block; width:100%;' /></div>
Another option would be to use float:left;. You'd need to apply this to all the elements in the line, and I dislike this option as I find that float tends to cause more problems than it solves. But try it and see if it works for you.
There are various other combinations of styles you can try - give it a go and see what works.
Using FlexBox Property this can be achieved easily.
.mytextdiv{
display:flex;
flex-direction:row;
align-items: center;
}
.mytexttitle{
flex-grow:0;
}
.divider{
flex-grow:1;
height: 1px;
background-color: #9f9f9f;
}
<div class="mytextdiv">
<div class="mytexttitle">
My Text
</div>
<div class="divider"></div>
</div>
Try this:
<html><body>My Text<hr style="float: right; width: 80%"/></body></html>
The inline CSS float: right will keep it on the same line as the text.
You'll need to adjust the width if you want it to fill the rest of the line.
Using inline or float, as far as I tested it doesn't work properly even if this was my first thought. Looking further I used the following css
hr {
bottom: 17px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
div {
background:white;
position: relative;
width: 100px;
z-index: 10;
}
html
<div>My Text</div><hr/>
Demo http://jsfiddle.net/mFEWk/
What I did, is to add position relative in both elements (to give me the advantage of z-index use). Also from the moment I had position:relative for hr I moved it from the bottom:17px. This move it above the div that contains the text. Applying z-index values and adding background:white for the div puts the text above the the line. Of course don't forget to use a width for the text, otherwise will take the whole width of the parent element.
<div style="float: left">Some text</div>
<hr style="clear: none; position: relative; top: 0.5em;">
Exactly what you want.
Try this. It works
<p style="float:left;">
Hello Text
<hr style="float:left; width: 80%"/>
</p>
You can also use this to draw a line between texts like
Hello -------------------------- Hello
The OP never specified the purpose of the line, but I wanted to share what I ended up doing when I was making an html template where the user needed a line to write on after the document was printed.
Because the hr tag defaults to its own line and defaults to being centered in the line, I decided to use a div and style it instead.
HTML
This is my text.<div class='fillLine'></div>
CSS
.fillLine {
display:inline-block;
width: 200px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
JSFiddle Demo
Style Div for Line After Text
Hope that helps anyone who had the same goal as me.
hr {
width: {so it fits on the same line as the p tag};
}
p {
float: left;
width: {enough to accomodate the hr};
}
That sort of make sense?
<p>My text</p>
<hr />
Here's one potential approach, but it has some assumptions/requirements. Your question should be edited to give more specific information about what you're building.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Blah</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-color : white;
font-family : Arial;
font-size : 16px;
}
.wrap {
background: transparent url(px.png) repeat-x 0px 85%;
/* Different fonts or text sizes may require tweaking of that offset.
px.png is a one-pixel(though can be thicker if needed) image in whatever color you want the line */
}
.inner {
background-color : white;
/* Should match the background of whatever it's sitting over.
Obviously this requires a solid background. */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrap"><span class="inner">Here is some text</span></div>
</body>
</html>
I used the following technique:
Give the container div a background-image with a horizontal line.
Put an element (like <h3>) in the container div (I have it on the right so float: right; )
Use the following css:
.line-container {
width: 550px;
height: 40px;
margin-top: 10px;
background-image: url("/images/horizontal_line.png");
}
.line-container h3 {
padding-left: 10px;
float: right;
background-color: white;
}
Below code did the job for me
HTML File:
----------
<p class="section-header">Details</p><hr>
CSS File:
----------
.section-header{
float: left;
font-weight: bold
}
hr{
float: left;
width: 80%;
}
INLINE:
-------
<p style="float: left;font-weight: bold">Details</p><hr style="float: left;width: 80%;">
I know this is probably the dumbest question ever, however I am a total beginner when it comes to CSS; how do you hyperlink an image on a webpage using an image which is sourced from CSS? I am trying to set the title image on my website linkable to the frontpage. Thanks!
Edit: Just to make it clear, I'm sourcing my image from CSS, the CSS code for the header div is as follows:-
#header
{
width: 1000px;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 0px 15px 0px 15px;
border: none;
background: url(images/title.png) no-repeat bottom;
width: 1000px;
height: 100px;
}
I want to know how to make this div hyperlinked on my webpage without having to make it an anchor rather than a div.
You control design and styles with CSS, not the behavior of your content.
You're going to have to use something like <a id="header" href="[your link]">Logo</a> and then have a CSS block such as:
a#header {
background-image: url(...);
display: block;
width: ..;
height: ...;
}
You cannot nest a div inside <a> and still have 'valid' code. <a> is an inline element that cannot legally contain a block element. The only non-Javascript way to make a link is with the <a> element.
You can nest your <a> tag inside <div> and then put your image inside :)
If you don't want that, you're going to have to use JavaScript to make your <div> clickable:
Document.getElementById("header").onclick = function() {
window.location='...';
}
To link a css-sourced background-image:
#header {
display:block;
margin: 0px auto;
padding: 0px 15px 0px 15px;
border: none;
background: url(images/title.png) no-repeat bottom;
width: 1000px;
height: 100px;
}
<a id="header" href="blah.html" class="linkedImage">
The key thing here is to turn the anchor tag into a block element, so height and width work. Otherwise it's an inline element and will ignore height.
That's really not a CSS thing. You still need your A tag to make that work. (But use CSS to make sure the image border is either removed, or designed to your required spec.)
<img src="foo" class="whatever" alt="foo alt" />
EDIT: Taking original intent (updated question) into account, a new code sample is below:
<img id="header" alt="foo alt" />
You're still in an HTML world for links, as described by other answers on this question.
sorry to spoil your fun ladies and gentlemen, it is possible.
Write in your header: [link](http://"link here")
then in your css:
#header a[href="https://link here"] {
display: inline-block;
width: 75px;
height: 75px;
font-size: 0;
}
.side .md a[href="link here"] {
background: url(%%picture here%%) no-repeat;
}
then in your css
.titleLink {
background-image: url(imageUrl);
}
You still create links in HTML with 'a' (anchor) tags just like normal. CSS does not have anything that can specify if something is a link to somewhere or not.
Edit
The comments of mine and others still apply. To clarify, you can use JavaScript to make a div act as a link:
<div id="header" onclick="window.location='http://google.com';">My Header</div>
That isn't really great for usability however as people without JavaScript enabled will be unable to click that and have it act as a link.
Also, you may want to add a cursor: pointer; line to your CSS to give the header div the correct mouse cursor for a link.
CSS is for presentation only, not content. A link is content and should be put into the HTML of the site using a standard <a href=""> tag. You can then style this link (or add an image to the link) using CSS.
You have to use an anchor element, wrapped in a container. On your homepage, your title would normally be an h1, but then on content pages it would probably change to a div. You should also always have text in the anchor element for people without CSS support and/or screen readers. The easiest way to hide that is through CSS. Here are both examples:
<h1 id="title"><a title="Home" href="index.html>My Title</a></h1>
<div id="title"><a title="Home" href="index.html>My Title</a></div>
and the CSS:
#title {
position:relative; /*Makes this a containing element*/
}
#title a {
background: transparent url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat scroll 0 0;
display:block;
text-indent:-9999px; /*Hides the anchor text*/
height:50px; /*Set height and width to the exact size of your image*/
width:200px;
}
Depending on the rest of your stylesheet you may need to adjus it for the h1 to make it look the same as the div, check out CSS Resets for possible solutions to this.
Try this - use an H1 as the seat of your graphic instead. Saved my butt time and time again:
<h1 class="technique-six">
CSS-Tricks
</h1>
h1.technique-six {
width: 350px;
padding: 75px 0 0 0;
height: 0;
background: url("images/header-image.jpg") no-repeat;
overflow: hidden;
}
Accessible, and also solid across browsers IE6 and > . You could also link the H1.
HTML is the only way to create links - it defines the structure and content of a web site.
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets - it only affects how things look.
Although normally an <a/>; tag is the only way to create a link, you can make a <div/> clickable with JavaScript. I'd use jQuery:
$("div#header").click(function() {window.location=XXXXXX;});
