I'm trying to get my horizontal rule to ignore the parent padding.
Here's a simple example of what I have:
#parent {
padding:10px;
width:100px;
}
hr {
width:100px;
}
You will find that the horizontal rule extends out of the parent by 10px. I'm trying to get it to ignore the padding that everything else in the parent div needs.
I'm aware that I could make a separate div for everything else; this is not the solution I'm looking for.
Easy fix, just do
margin:-10px
on the hr.
For image purpose you can do something like this
img {
width: calc(100% + 20px); // twice the value of the parent's padding
margin-left: -10px; // -1 * parent's padding
}
In large this question has been answered but in small parts by everyone. I dealt with this just a minute ago.
I wanted to have a button tray at the bottom of a panel where the panel has 30px all around. The button tray had to be flush bottom and sides.
.panel
{
padding: 30px;
}
.panel > .actions
{
margin: -30px;
margin-top: 30px;
padding: 30px;
width: auto;
}
I did a demo here with more flesh to drive the idea. However the key elements above are offset any parent padding with matching negative margins on the child. Then most critical if you want to run the child full-width then set width to auto. (as mentioned in a comment above by schlingel).
Another solution:
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
just change the top/right/bottom/left to your case.
Kinda late.But it just takes a bit of math.
.content {
margin-top: 50px;
background: #777;
padding: 30px;
padding-bottom: 0;
font-size: 11px;
border: 1px dotted #222;
}
.bottom-content {
background: #999;
width: 100%; /* you need this for it to work */
margin-left: -30px; /* will touch very left side */
padding-right: 60px; /* will touch very right side */
}
<div class='content'>
<p>A paragraph</p>
<p>Another paragraph.</p>
<p>No more content</p>
<div class='bottom-content'>
I want this div to ignore padding.
</div>
I don't have Windows so I didn't test this in IE.
fiddle:
fiddle example..
If you have a parent container with vertical padding and you want something (e.g. an image) inside that container to ignore its vertical padding you can set a negative, but equal, margin for both 'top' and 'bottom':
margin-top: -100px;
margin-bottom: -100px;
The actual value doesn't appear to matter much. Haven't tried this for horizontal paddings.
margin: 0 -10px;
is better than
margin: -10px;
The later sucks content vertically into it.
Here is another way to do it.
<style>
.padded-element{margin: 0px; padding: 10px;}
.padded-element img{margin-left: -10px; width: calc(100% + 10px + 10px);}
</style>
<p class="padded-element">

Here are some examples on repl.it: https://repl.it/#bryku/LightgrayBleakIntercept
Your parent is 120px wide - that is 100 width + 20 padding on each side so you need to make your line 120px wide. Here's the code. Next time note that padding adds up to element width.
#parent
{
width: 100px;
padding: 10px;
background-color: Red;
}
hr
{
width: 120px;
margin:0 -10px;
position:relative;
}
If your after a way for the hr to go straight from the left side of a screen to the right this is the code to use to ensure the view width isn't effected.
hr {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
The problem could come down to which box model you're using. Are you using IE?
When IE is in quirks mode, width is the outer width of your box, which means the padding will be inside. So the total area left inside the box is 100px - 2 * 10px = 80px in which case your 100px wide <hr> will not look right.
If you're in standards mode, width is the inner width of your box, and padding is added outside. So the total width of the box is 100px + 2 * 10px = 120px leaving exactly 100px inside the box for your <hr>.
To solve it, either adjust your CSS values for IE. (Check in Firefox to see if it looks okay there). Or even better, set a document type to kick the browser into strict mode - where also IE follows the standard box model.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>

You just need to add negative margins to the child that match the padding of the parent. No need to set a width, change the box-sizing, or use absolute positioning.
#parent {
padding: 10px;
width: 100px;
}
hr {
margin-right: -10px;
margin-left: -10px;
// For modern browsers you can use margin-inline: -10px
}
The reason you don't need to set a width is because the hr element is a block element. It's width defaults to "auto", which means it will expand to fill it's parent (minus padding, margin, and border).
easy fix.. add to parent div:
box-sizing: border-box;

I want to add padding in my hr,
hr {
padding-left: 200px;
}
but it's not working. how to add padding in my hr ?
Padding does not work in hr.
You have to use margin instead:
hr {
margin-left: 200px;
}
And it'll work.
Before adding padding, you should have to set a width for your hr otherwise it will display in full width.
hr:first-of-type{
width: 100px;
padding-left: 10px;
}
hr:last-of-type{
width: 100px;
padding-left: 50px;
}
<hr>
<hr>
Thanks and best regards!
HR is slightly different from most HTML tags in its defined behaviour, as it tries to fill up the whole width of the containing element.
The only way I know to stop it expanding over any margins is to explicitly set a width attribute
hr {
width: 90%;
padding-left: 200px;
}
Even then, it seems to ignore the padding, so you should use a margin instead:
hr {
width: 90%;
margin-left: 200px;
}
It's still kind of scrappy and imprecise. If the ruled line needs to be in line with some other element, you're probably best ensuring that they are in the same DIV, so that the ruled line can start at the left margin of the div.
As Python mentioned, padding does not work with hr
A good solution would be to place the hr inside a div
Another workaround (not recommended, more like a band-aid) would be to create a div and apply styling to it to create a line, particularly add a single border to it
For example,
<div class="divider"></div>
And for the styling
.divider {
border-top: 1px solid #081521; /* Create the border, i.e. Divider */
margin: 1rem auto; /* Add a Margin and Center the divider */
}
Please take a look at the attached image, it makes it easier to understand.
In general the question is just how to absolute position an element left:100% while making it appear a bit less than 100%. Margin doesn't seem to work in absolute positioning.
I created a resizeble element with jQuery, and there is a right 'bullet' for the user to resize the element. I don't want to bullet to be on top of the container's border, so I set its position to absolute, and left: 98%.
Problem is - resizing the element takes the bullet to the left or right of the container's end, depending on its size (because the position of the bullet is set in percentages). Only 'solution' is to set its 'left' to 100%, but then the bullet is on top of the div. Adding a non breaking space after the bullet also didn't work since I had to set the left to 98% to contain both the bullet and the space.
What do you think? Is there a simple solution I didn't come up with?
Thanks in advance,
OmerImage
Edit: Jila here offered a simple solution of using calc:
#myContainer {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#bullet-right {
position: absolute;
left: calc(100% - 16px);
margin-right: 10px;
top: 40%;
color: blue;
z-index: 5;
}
I tried 100% - 10px without the calc before and it didn't work obviously
Hope it can help others and thanks Jila
left only works on a positioned element. That is to say, any element that does not have the default static positioning. In addition to this, you should never set left: 98%; you should set right: 2% to prevent any confusion.
If you want to set a left offset on a dynamic element, you're looking for margin-left.
This can be seen in the following:
.container {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 20px;
}
.text {
border: 1px solid black;
margin-left: 5%;
padding: 5px;
display: inline-block;
width: 85%;
}
input {
margin-left: 2.5%;
}
<div class="container">
<input type="radio">
<div class="text">Text</div>
</div>
how to absolute position an element left:100% while making it appear a bit less than 100%.
Don't use left: 98%;. Use right: --;. Since, as you state, percentages are dynamic, decide on a fixed value for the element offset. For example if you choose 10px the element on the right would be right: 10px and the element on the left would be left: 10px;.
If you really really want to use left for the one on the right use left: calc(100%-10px);, but there's no real reason for doing that when you can use right.
Here's what I'm wanting to do. When the site gets down to medium and small sizes, I want 100% width with margin: 20px all around. I'm trying to not define specific pixels for the width, so that it's consistent across all devices as much as possible. I figured that my CSS would apply the 20px margin to the right side as well as the left, but it's only applying to the left and the right is going outside the window.
Here's my HTML:
<div class="swipe-content">
<div id="your-accounts">
<h1>Your Accounts</h1>
<p>
Your accounts data will go here.
</p>
</div>
</div>
And here's my CSS:
.swipe-content {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #fff;
margin-top: 20px;
}
Sorry to waste anyone's time with this, but it's late and I'm probably missing something really simple. I'm coming back to coding after a couple of years and any help would be appreciated.
In CSS when you specify a width, it usually means the inner-width not the outer-width.
outer-width = inner-width + margin + padding + border
In your case, your div is becoming 100% + 20px (left padding) + 20 px (right padding)
When you add display: block, the div will automatically try to take up as much width as possible.
Sure, in CSS 3 you could take advantage of the box-sizing property as focorner suggested. But to be compatible i would suggest removing width: 100% and adding display: block.
For this to work, you would need an outer div which has 100% width and is display:block
TL;DR
{
display: block;
// width: 100%; remove this
padding: 20px
}
One simple option would be to use:
.swipe-content {
box-sizing: border-box;
...
}
One way you could do this is by creating an outer div that fills the entire page and setting it to have a left and right padding of both 20px.
You could then put a div on the inside that fits 100% of the outer div.
#outer {
padding: 20px;
background-color: blue;
}
#inner {
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
background-color: grey;
}
Here it is in action: https://jsfiddle.net/SplashHero/cb1xs67u/
you can do like this
.swipe-content {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
padding: 20px;
background-color: #fff;
margin : 20px 20px 20px 20px;
}
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.
width: -webkit-fill-available;
I have a container div (it has both width an height set in pixels).
Is there a way to add a child div that will fill its entire parent but still have margin and or padding ?
suppose the parent div is 200px wide, and 200px high.
if I give the child div a width/height of 100% then it assumes that I mean for the content are to be of size 200px and then if I add padding or margins the size of the child becomes bigger then that of the parent.
I want the child div's content area to be what ever is left after taking out 5px margins on each side...
and please don't tell me to subtract 2*5px from 200px - I know that but I am looking for a better solution.
could it be that css can't handle such a simple task...
You could try the following:
#outer {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: blue;
position: relative;
}
.inner {
position: absolute;
top: 5px;
right: 5px;
bottom: 5px;
left: 5px;
}
demo: http://jsfiddle.net/wYNYh/1/
Set all elements to have box-sizing as border-box in your stylesheet.
This will sum up the padding of all elements so you don't have to worry about any disruptions if you add any padding.
*{
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Something like this: http://jsfiddle.net/Rnf82/ ?
You can set the padding of the outer div. Then the inner div will only occupy what's left.
Have a look at this: (try yourself at jsFiddle)
.outer {
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #DD0000;
padding: 5px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.inner {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: #0000DD;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>
really these two ways of doing this is equivalent as far as the question is concerned. It is important to remember the redundancy generated by how html and css standards are setup.
