On a div I have css set:
div.class {border: 1px solid red;}
The div is positioned absolutely in the center of the page. The problem is that the border appears even if there is no content.
Any css methods to get the border to not appear if there is no content?
CSS3 has a selector defined for this case. It does not work in IE8 and lower though.
div.class:empty {
border: none;
}
Your best option would be to tweak this on the server side, and simply don't display that div if it would be empty.
If the div can have content related to a server response, you can tell whether it is an empty or a filled response and change to display:none or display:block accordingly

I have some unexplainable image margin/Space below img when including images in my wordpress theme. You can see it here: http://www.wlanradios.net/logitech-squeezebox-radio/
See the Amazon logo image inside the content or scroll down and have a look in the "Ähnliche WLAN Radios" sidebar widget with the small thumbnails. The images seem to have a little margin-bottom / Space below it I can not get rid off. I discovered the html/css with firebug but don't get the it where this margins comes from. I in fact tried to
img {
margin:0!important;
padding:0!important;
border:0!important;
}
to overwrite every possible causes for the margin, with no success.
Where is the margin coming from and how to remove it?
Just put to those imgs :
display: block;
UPDATE:
Some explanations: img is an inline element, so it has to deal with white-space, line-height, etc., as all inline elements. I guess the space you're seeing is actually caused by the line-height. So another solution if you want to keep your img as inline elements is to set its parent line-height: 0;.
Have you tried: vertical-align: middle
I have Deeply inspected the Issue, its a bit of haystick needle kind of thing.
1) Amazon Image box - Issue is with the td tag which creates a all sides padding of 6.71667px , This is FORCEFULLY created by the td,th padding which is set to 0.5em
th, td {
border-spacing: 3px;
//Tweak this Padding of 0.5em and you should destroy Amazon Extra Space
padding: 0.5em;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
}
You should be able to find and edit from line 183 of the above css theme from wp-content/themes/ar2-2-b-2-fixed/styles.css
2) Coming to the second issue with WLAN Radios Pic , This image is pushed in due to the DIV tags Padding all set to 4px which is acting on the WLAN Radio pics.
Here are the Issue Pics:

Hope this Helps :)
Check for your line-height on the img elements, and set it to 1. You must have a line height > 1 on a parent element.
You can also change the display of those img to 'block' (to avoid line spacing).
I'm trying to create a border that sits INSIDE an image. So, there should be a 10px or so margin from the edge of the photo to where the border is.
Examples of what it should look like: http://imgur.com/a/lMSMR
You can see the page with the photos here: http://blueboxluxe.com/praise/
Anyways, few parts of this is harder to do... 1) the layout is fluid -- the photo size can change. 2) I want the border to show up on all photos -- no matter the size. 3) On the praise page, there's a lot of floats happening; so, things need to work with that correctly.
I've tried playing with box-shadow, but all I get is a border on the outside of the image. Not inside.
Try the outline property and specify a negative offset:
outline:2px solid red;
outline-offset:-15px;
No IE support though!
you can also try a container div
<div><img src=""/></div>
give div a fixed height and width and overflow hidden.
div{height:100px;width:100px;overflow:hidden;border:1px solid black;}
Maybe create a div within the div that contains the image, set it to
position:absolute;
margin:2% auto;
left:2%;
width:96%;
border:solid 1px #fff;
and then give the element that is containing it:
text-align:center;
Alternatively, if the image is floating in a much larger div that contains other elements, put it into a parent div set to the size of the image then put the new div that will add the border underneath or above the image; do not put the image into the div that you want to use as a border; the reason I used percentages is because it should then resize depending on the size of the image.
If you play around with the numbers it should work as you wish.
you can use the box-shadow property in css3. Use a 1px thick box-shadow with a color would give you that effect on almost all browsers.
I've set a style on <html>:
html {
background: #ECECEC;
border: 1px solid #FFFFFF;
}
If the contents of the page are wider than the page, why does the border stop, but the background keep going?
Here's a fiddle that show the problem : http://jsfiddle.net/rPGyc/3
html is a proper block-level element, just like body, p, div, etc — it therefore observes all the same overflow rules as other block elements do.
However, the reason why the background of html bleeds past its border when content overflows its width (or when its width is less than 100% of the browser window, or viewport), is because the background color is propagated to the viewport, which is the canvas containing html and all its contents that are rendered. The border remains part of the html element, however, so the element doesn't expand when the content overflows. This behavior is very similar to how applying a background to body, but not html, causes the body background to propagate to the root element anyway, as described in this answer which cites this section of the spec.
As Alohci notes in a comment under the answer, the same applies to html with respect to the viewport:
Note that html behaves with respect to the viewport in much the same way as body behaves with respect to html, with the background escaping beyond the confines of the html element. See http://jsfiddle.net/GmAL4/4/ to see what I mean.
Here's a little fix using jquery
$("html").width($(document).width());
$("html").css("border", "1px solid black");
I know it's lame that css alone don't seem to work fine but at least we can have the wanted result with jquery.
here'S the fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/rPGyc/5/
A way to prevent that is using the css3 word-wrap property. Jsfiddle here
Simply add:
html{
background-color: lightgrey;
border: 1px solid #fff;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
width:100%;
height:100%;
/*The important bit*/
word-wrap: break-word;
}
I would like to have a border around the entire body of my web page.
I have created a layout that has a body with several div tags inside of it. I added CSS that I assumed would put a border around all content. Unfortunately the last two divs in my layout are, for some reason, being placed outside of the border.
This is the CSS I am using for the body:
body
{
position:relative;
top:5px;
width:1024px;
background-color: #f7f7f7;
padding: 5px;
border:1px solid #151515;
margin:auto;
font-family:Calibri;
}
I suspect that the reason the border is not displaying as I wish has nothing to do with this CSS. You can view the site here if you would like to see the complete CSS/HTML: http://sprocket-tools.com/
I won't bloat this post by including the verbose HTML/CSS. If you need more details on the HTML/CSS aspect please visit the link.
You have floated your DIVs, which causes the parent element to collapse. You need to have an element below them that clears, forcing the parent element to not behave this way.
<div style="height:0px; clear:both;"></div>
Put that above your </body>. That should do.

In the following HTML, I'd like the frame around the image to be snug -- not to stretch out and take up all the available width in the parent container. I know there are a couple of ways to do this (including horrible things like manually setting its width to a particular number of pixels), but what is the right way?
Edit: One answer suggests I turn off "display:block" -- but this causes the rendering to look malformed in every browser I've tested it in. Is there a way to get a nice-looking rendering with "display:block" off?
Edit: If I add "float: left" to the pictureframe and "clear:both" to the P tag, it looks great. But I don't always want these frames floated to the left. Is there a more direct way to accomplish whatever "float" is doing?
.pictureframe {
display: block;
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
border: solid brown 2px;
background-color: #ffeecc;
}
#foo {
border: solid blue 2px;
float: left;
}
img {
display: block;
}
<div id="foo">
<span class="pictureframe">
<img alt=''
src="http://stackoverflow.com/favicon.ico" />
</span>
<p>
Why is the beige rectangle so wide?
</p>
</div>
The right way is to use:
.pictureframe {
display: inline-block;
}
Edit: Floating the element also produces the same effect, this is because floating elements use the same shrink-to-fit algorithm for determining the width.
The beige rectangle is so wide because you have display: block on the span, turning an inline element into a block element. A block element is supposed to take up all available width, an inline element does not. Try removing the display: block from the css.
Adding "float:left" to the span.pictureFrame selector fixes the problem as that's what "float:left" does :) Apart from everything else floating an element to the left will make it occupy only the space required by its contents. Any following block elements (the "p" for example) will float around the "floated" element. If you "clear" the float of the "p" it would follow the normal document flow thus going below span.pictureFrame. In fact you need "clear:left" as the element has been "float:left"-ed.
For a more formal explanation you can check the CSS spec although it is beyond most people's comprehension.
Yes
display:inline-block is your friend.
Also have a look at: display:-moz-inline-block and display:-moz-inline-box.
The only way I've been able to do picture frames reliably across browsers is to set the width dynamically. Here is an example using jQuery:
$(window).load(function(){
$('img').wrap('<div class="pictureFrame"></div>');
$('div.pictureFrame').each(function(i) {
$(this).width($('*:first', this).width());
});
});
This will work even if you don't know the image dimensions ahead of time, because it waits for the images to load (note we're using $(window).load rather than the more common $(document).ready) before adding the picture frame. It's a bit ugly, but it works.
Here is the pictureFrame CSS for this example:
.pictureFrame {
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border:1px solid #CCCCCC;
line-height:0;
padding:5px;
}
I'd love to see a reliable, cross-browser, CSS-only solution to this problem. This solution is something I came up with for a past project after much frustration trying to get it working with only CSS and HTML.
