I have a menu for which I wanted all of the space around the text, within each individual item, to take the user to the specified page. I looked around on the web and found that the best solution is to set the "a" display to block, as follows:
a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
text-decoration: underline;
}
I have managed to get this working perfectly but want to put images in some of them - like a calendar icon for the events option. I notice it is now underlining the links too. Is there any way to get rid of this? The links have padding-right set to 5px if that helps narrow down the cause / solution.
So all the relevant code is as follows:
a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a > img {
text-decoration: none;
border: none;
padding-right: 5px;
width: 1.8em;
height: 1.8em;
}
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Richard
PS It is Google Chrome in which I am having this problem - I have not currently checked it in any other browsers.
Images are inline elements, so they are treated as part of the text. It's not the image that is underlined, it's the text that contains the image that is underlined, so it doesn't help to prevent underlining for the image.
You can turn the images into block elements by floating them, then they are not part of the text:
a > img {
float: left;
border: none;
padding-right: 5px;
width: 1.8em;
height: 1.8em;
}
I think your best option is to get rid of the underline text-decoration property for the a element, put the link text in a span with common class, and apply text-decoration: underline to that class.
I was running in the same doubt. The text-decoration set to none works for me:
<a href="..." style="text-decoration:none;">
<img src="...">
</a>
As was said befor, you can use a class to make this more generic.
Nice question by the way, It looks totally strange in my website when I saw some minus at the bottom of images. Then I realize that was an underlying.
I tried eveything in the comments to no avail, what worked for me was modifying div which contained all the tags. I have an inkling that they are only underlined when in their absolute default position. Here was the div each tag was wrapped in, no other tricks were applied.
.myDiv {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}

Display Flex bug
I'm trying to make this icon just in front of the text but there must be flex and aligin-contet: center; otherwise the text would be such a scatter you will see in the photo where there is a red line so I have already used display:flex; and aligin-content: center; I need to do it somehow so that the icon is still and the show somehow I can't do it I've been doing it for 2 days and they've never helped me yet.
#autocomplete a {
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
color: #111;
padding: 0.2rem 0.5rem;
border-radius: 20px;
align-items: center;
display: flex;
}
#autocomplete .fa.fa-search {
padding: 5px;
float: left;
}
without Flex and content-aligin: center;
with Flex and content-aligin: center;
you can try using "flex-direction: row-reverse;" it should reverse your items inside the container with the display flex applied.
have a nice day and good luck 😁
My approach would be like this:
Add the following CSS definition:
#autocomplete a * {
vertical-align: middle;
}
The "bold" text is outside a span or similar element. You should also put it into a <span>, so the correct style will be applied to it.
Example:
<a href="./search?q=abcdef&source=autocomplete" data-index="1">
<span class="nobold">abc</span>
<span>def</span>
<i class="fa fa-search"></i>
</a>
(The span around def is the new one.)
Explanation:
The * in the CSS definition in 1. will make the style apply to the selected element and all its children. So, in 2. you just add a matching "child" by using the span. I've tested it and it works for me.
Hint: I don't know if you know about this technique, but you can always use the browser's development tools in order to try such things "on the fly" within the page being shown.
Okay i am working on this and the Ori Guy add me some Idea and i make this code
justify-content: flex-end;
flex-direction: row-reverse;
And look is working :D
Really Thank all who help ME!! THANK YOU <3
I am relatively new to HTML/CSS, and am finding a basic bug in a website that I am attempting to create.
I am using an external CSS file to style my website, and I use the following code as a general guideline for my HTML links.
a:link, a:visited{
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
}
a:active, a:hover{
background-color: rgb(46, 46, 46);
color: white;
}
After I link my styles.css file to my HTML file (via link), I want to have a standard logo at the top right corner of the screen, which when clicked, will bring the user to the home screen. However, I do not want to set a specific pixel size, rather, I want it to cover a specific percentage of the screen so the website would look natural on a phone and a computer (rather than being too big/small). I have attempted to do so below, and although the image is in the correct proportions I want it to be, I am still getting an issue when I hover over the label, there seems to be a border that lights up around the image (even though I don't want it to). Here is the code that I used to add the logo:
<a href="index.html" style="float:right; padding:0px 0px;">
<img src="images/test.jpg" alt="Testing Logo" style="width:35%; height:20%; border:0;">
</a>
I am pretty sure that adding the percentages to both the width and height is illegal, right? I'm also curious why this seems to work for the height, but not for the width, and if there is something flawed in doing so please let me know. Here is the output that this code will cause to my logo:
In the above image, I am not hovering over the image with my mouse. The logo is taking up more space than I would like and has a border.
The above image shows my logo when I am hovering over it with my mouse. Notice that the border around it changes color, and if you click in this area, then it will redirect it to the homepage (which is what I want it to do, but I want to minimize the clicking area to just the picture of the logo, not the space surrounding it, and I want to get rid of the border surrounding the logo).
there's a property in CSS called as an outline
a:link, a:visited{
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
outline: none;
}
this will remove your border which is highlighting when you hover over it
Your issue is not that clear.
It is best to show your live site or place your code on sites like CodePen or JSFiddle, so others can test to check the issue.
By the way, you can also post your code here as well.
You can try this, but please read what follows: :)
a:link, a:visited{
background-color: #000000;
color: white;
padding: 14px 25px;
text-align: center;
font-size: 18px;
text-decoration: none;
display: inline-block;
border: none; /* <-- add this */
}
a:active, a:hover{
background-color: rgb(46, 46, 46);
color: white;
}
From what I see: I suspect the border (and box-shadow ?) to come from a parent node. You can use the inspector of your browser and click on the border to identify the html tag we want and give him the medicine:
{
border: none;
box-shadow: none;
}
I am pretty sure that adding the percentages to both the width and height is illegal, right?
The SWAT won't come at your place, though we tend to avoid that directly in the HTML file.
More, it's better to not put style inside the HTML file itself, as it may override some rules written on your css files. If you don't know about CSS specificity, here is a good read.
Though it's ok on a CSS file. Myself I usually put max-width: 100% to the images, and I change the width and height of it's parent's div as needed.
I do not want to set a specific pixel size, rather, I want it to cover a specific percentage of the screen
This is perfect! Did you know about vw and media queries ?
As I was trying to theme my website, I've discovered some weird behavior when images are used with hyperlinks. Here is a sample code:
<div id="maindiv"> <a href="google.com">
<img src="https://lh4.ggpht.com/AlYHsHF4I5Y0Hx-64ObsbQsJVgbVIu-GK6cJwn1PHeeH0aIlEv1vtizf7whwfB8kuA=w16">
</a> </div>
You can also preview it here:
http://cssdeck.com/labs/vzine2bc
As you can see, there is a weird margin at the image, the containing div is not exactly covering it eventhough there is nothing that creates the margin. Is this a <a href> behavior or am I missing a point?
img { display: block; } or img { display: inline-block; } should fix it.
See fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/zitrusfrisch/7vh8Y/
EDIT:
As #Zettam mentioned in the comments img { display: inline-block; } does not solve the problem. So if img { display: block; } is not an option because you want them to display inline, try these alternatives:
Let the image float: left; but do not forget to clear the floating in some way, e.g. setting the wrapping element to overflow: hidden; (http://jsfiddle.net/zitrusfrisch/7vh8Y/1/)
font-size: 0px; on the wrapping element (http://jsfiddle.net/zitrusfrisch/7vh8Y/2/)
img { vertical-align: middle; } works as well, as long as the font-size is not bigger than the image (http://jsfiddle.net/zitrusfrisch/7vh8Y/3/)
Try this:
a img { border: 0; }
Some browsers put a border around images that are inside hyperlinks. You can avoid this by specifying the border with css: border-style: none
I am currently finishing a site that the client wants to work on all browsers. However, there seems to be a CSS issue which I can not get around. The border around this page seems to start from the middle of the page, as opposed to surrounding the entire page. It works on all other browsers though. I am guessing that it is a float problem, but the #contact-form underneath has basically the same CSS applied to it but the border still surrounds it, while the #info seems to have broken out of the border.
The webpage in question is http://lunaskymoda.co.uk/contact-us/
The only validation error is with an unregistered keyword "Nextgen", but i doubt that is the problem. I have spent an entire day tackling this and cannot seem to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why this is happening.
the CSS for the possible HTML elements producing the error are:
#main #main-content {
border: 1px solid white;
display: block;
margin: 12px 0;
background: black;
}
.contact #main-content .info {
margin: 10px;
width: 300px;
font-size: 14px;
color: white;
float: right;
display: block;
}
You're not the first one to have issues with ie6 :)
The problem is of course the "clear: both" of the clear class not being honoured, so you need to hack it.
Here's a possible approach:
http://damienhowley.wordpress.com/2009/04/01/ie6-hack-replacing-clearboth/
You may also try to replace the <div class="clear"></div> by <br clear="all">.
here's the code (and, yes, i'm using a basic reset.css):
.checkbox { border: 1px solid black; width: 10px; height: 10px; }
<ul>
<li>
<p><div class="checkbox"></div>I will!</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><div class="checkbox"></div>I won't!</p>
</li>
</ul>
you can see what i'm trying to do. essentially create a checkbox. the reason i'm NOT using a checkbox tag is because i have to export this thing to PDF so that it can be printed and hamfisted bogots can drag their X mark through the box. if i use the checkbox tag, it's too small. if i use and image, PDF doesn't line up right.
so. i need the CSS box to line up as expected. what am i missing? i've tried changing the div to display: inline; but it freakin' disappears! inline-block useless.
i tried like mad to search this one out, but to no avail, so if this showed up somewhere else, apologies.
WR!
.checkbox {
border: 1px solid black;
width: .65em;
height: .65em;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 4px;
}
See it working here: http://jsfiddle.net/ZeaLM/
inline-block is the display you need for this.
Your browser might be persnickety about empty elements. Try adding a into the <div>.
<div> is not allowed inside of <p> elements (which doesn't allow any block-level elements inside of it).
See this example
In this example, I've used display: inline-block; and changed the <p> element into a <div>.
There's many ways to do it, one of which is this
Just to make sure - did you put the .checkbox selector inside a <style> tag in the actual HTML?
<style type="text/css">
.checkbox { border: 1px solid black; width: 10px; height: 10px; }
</style>
1) Get rid of the <p> elements
2) Add float: left to your .checkbox style
3) Add after the div or a padding: right to the div block to make it look better
4) Add li { list-style-type: none; } in your style block
5) Play around with vertical-align in your .checkbox style until you're happy
