Extra padding on linked images (in every browser) - html

I'm having a problem with getting extra padding on link element with an image inside. It happens in all browsers, Safari, Firefox, IE.
I have a reset stylesheet applied so there shouldn't be any extra margins on padding but upon inspection it's clear that the a element has some extra bottom padding from nowhere. Any ideas?
Here's the markup and CSS:
<div class="movie"><img src="img/video01.jpg" alt="" /></div>
div.home-col .movie {
padding: 0 0 11px 0;
background: url(../img/bg-shadow-movie.png) bottom no-repeat;
}
div.home-col .movie a {
display: block;
background: url(../img/bg-zoom-movie.png) 50% 5px no-repeat;
}
div.home-col .movie img {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0;
border: 1px solid #d0d0d0;
}

Try adding the following line to your link element: line-height: 0;
div.home-col .movie a {
display: block;
background: url(../img/bg-zoom-movie.png) 50% 5px no-repeat;
line-height: 0;
}

sorry to answer to this question 3 year later, but this page is in first google page and i feel responsibility .....
answer: only add "vertical-align: top;" to img tag inside a tag.

The background image for the movie class will appear at the bottom of both the box and padding applied to it, so use the following if you need the 11px space at the bottom of the image.
div.home-col .movie {
margin: 0 0 11px 0;
background: url(../img/bg-shadow-movie.png) bottom no-repeat;
}

Did you try adding padding to:
div.home-col .movie a {
display: block;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
background: url(../img/bg-zoom-movie.png) 50% 5px no-repeat;
}
If not possibly you could add a:visited to test it to see if anything changes.

Are you sure that’s all the CSS? I can’t see the problem you’re describing on this test page: http://www.pauldwaite.co.uk/test-pages/3532870/

Hello i had the same problem and i found that if you vertically align the image to the bottom it will be fixed.
Image inside div has extra space below the image

Adding style="padding:0px;" solved the problem for me.

Image within div change on hover?

I'm trying to have it so that an image of a yellow cog sits inside a div with a yellow border and a white background, and then upon hover the cog changes to white and the background changes to yellow. I'm currently setting the first image as the background of the div, and then using div:hover to change the background on hover, however the spacing etc. doesn't quite work and the border doesn't go around the image properly. Is it possible to have it so the image is inside a link rather than as the background of the div? Here is the code I'm using:
HTML:
<div id="settings">
</div>
CSS:
#settings {
border: 4px solid #ffff00;
padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
background: #fff url(img/cog_yellow.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
}
#settings:hover {
background: #ffff00 url(img/cog_white.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
}
Any ideas?
It is possible although not very efficient. You can have two images and show and hide them based on hover:
HTML
<div class="button_link">
<img src="http://www.placecage.com/50/50"/>
<img src="http://www.placecage.com/60/50"/>
</div>
CSS
.button_link a:last-child{
display: none;
}
.button_link:hover a:first-child{
display: none;
}
.button_link:hover a:last-child{
display: block;
}
FIDDLE
If you can post a fiddle recreating the issue with the images you're using there is probably a more efficient way of doing this with just CSS and no additional HTML involved
UPDATE
This is how I would do this, with just CSS:
NEW FIDDLE
You can use this instead:
#settings a{
display:block;
width:100px; /* adjust your width */
height:100px;/* adjust your height */
border: 4px solid #ffff00;
padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
background: url(img/cog_yellow.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
}
#settings a:hover {
background: url(img/cog_white.png) 0 0 no-repeat;
}

border:none not working on an image set using background

K so I have an image in my html and I am settings its src using css and background: url() the reason for this is because I want to toggle the class on click so that I go back and forth between images. Everything works except for the fact that my image has a border and nothing I do seems to get rid of the stupid thing.
Here is the html:
<img class="minus" />
and here is the css:
.minus{
position: relative;
margin: 0 0 -3px 5px;
float:right;
background: url(/images/mobile/minus.png) no-repeat;
border: none;
display:block;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
}
I have tried everything I can think of border:0px; border:0; border-width: 0px; border-style:none; anything I could find on here or on the web basicly and nothing will get rid of the stupid border. Any insight would be appreciated.
Edit: using google chrome.
I'm certainly able to reproduce this error in Chrome. Here's a demo:
.minus{
display: block;
margin: 0 0 -3px 5px;
background: url('http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo3w.png');
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
<img class="minus">
However, w3.org specifies (emphasis mine):
The SRC attribute specifies the URI for the image to be embedded. Its syntax is the same as that of the HREF attribute of the tag. SRC is mandatory.
Setting a CSS background-image is not the same as setting the src HTML attribute of <img>... and perhaps that's your problem. You should consider using a different element, e.g.: a <span>:
.minus {
display: block;
margin: 0 0 -3px 5px;
background: url('http://www.google.com/intl/en_com/images/srpr/logo3w.png');
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
<span class="minus"></span>
Here is a fiddle that uses a div with the class (I see no border). When I try an img with the class, it shows nothing (in firefox 7)

Sprites and text size

I've created a sprite at a website I'm using to learn CSS at http://flexibletheme.tumblr.com/, however since the width is set at 24px the text tries to make a small vertical column.
Anyway to get it to render normally with 24px of margin on the right?
You should put your sprite inside of a nested <span> instead of wrapping it around your link text. Like this:
<span class="sprite"></span>Sample Link
Be sure to either float your sprite to the left or make it display:inline-block; so that it can retain a width and height but still be inline with your link text.
ditch the width:24px; add padding-left:24px
You should wrap the element around your sidebar unordered list and children instead of closing it before it does anything:
<aside>
<ul>
<li>stuff</li>
</ul>
</aside>
Then give it a width, or let content and sidebar float and clear them after. (I'd also recommend looking into stuff like grids for ease.. http://978.gs/)
write this white-space: nowrap; in your a tag
#links li a{white-space: nowrap;}
If IE7 support (and below) is not an issue, you could use :before pseudo element without adding any extra mark-up:
#links a {
display: block;
position: relative;
padding: 2px 2px 2px 30px;
min-height: 20px;
line-height: 24px;
}
#links a:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 2px;
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
background: url(http://static.tumblr.com/wgijwsy/itFlt1l8x/links.png);
}
a#rss:before { background-position: -24px 0 }
a#facebook:before { background-position: 0 -24px }
a#twitter:before { background-position: 0 -48px }
Otherwise, add span inside the anchors and replace a:before with a span.icon.
And move the h2 outside of your ul. That's invalid HTML.

CSS create padding before line-break

Is it possible to add padding before line-break? As in, making from this to this .
Current CSS code:
span.highlight { background: #0058be; color: #FFF; padding: 2px 5px; }
I had to add an extra margin-left:0; to make the two lines start at the same point.
This can be done with pure CSS. Create a solid box-shadow to the left and right of the highlight in the same color (and use margin to correct the spacing). For your case:
span.highlight {
background: #0058be;
color: #FFF;
box-shadow:5px 0 0 #0058be, -5px 0 0 #0058be;
padding: 2px 0;
margin:0 5px;
}
It took some tryouts, but here it is: the single- and multi-line highlighter with additional padding.
HTML:
<h3>Welcome to guubo.com, Gajus Kuizinas</h3>
<p><span>So far you have joined: </span><em>Networks guubo.com</em><ins></ins></p>
CSS:
h3 {
padding-left: 5px;
}
p {
background: #0058be;
position: relative;
padding: 0 5px;
line-height: 23px;
text-align: justify;
z-index: 0;
}
p span {
background: #fff;
padding: 2px 0 2px 5px;
position: relative;
left: -5px;
}
p em {
background-color: #0058be;
color: #fff;
padding: 2px 5px;
}
ins {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
line-height: 23px;
height: 23px;
right: -5px;
bottom: 0;
background: #fff;
z-index: -1;
}
The trick is to style the whole paragraph with a blue background, and only put white background on top of that at the beginning and the end. Doing so assures blue background elsewhere...;)
Two main disadvantages:
The highlighted text has to start at the first line (but does not necessarily have to flow into a second),
The paragraph has to be aligned with justification.
Tested in Opera 11, Chrome 11, IE7, IE8, IE9, FF4 and Safari 5 with all DTD's.
See edit history for the previous less successful attempts.
You can achieve this using just box shadow, with no messy padding or margins.
The trick is to use box-shadow's spread option, and the padding on wrapped inline elements behaves as you expect.
.highlight {
background: black;
color: white;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 5px black;
}
display: block will achieve part of what you want, but of course it will make the span a block element, and so you won't get the wrapping behaviour seen in your example.
Your screenshot holds the clue to what you need to try and do: you need to impose a margin to the left and right on your "normal" paragraph text, and then have the span disregard this (and include its padding), to achieve an "overhang" of your blue highlight when compared to the rest of your text. You can't do that with straight CSS on your span, because it covers two lines and obviously "left" and "right" only refer to the span, and not the individual pieces of text contained therein.
Straight CSS isn't the answer here. You might want to take a look at this question, which uses a jQuery filter to grab the first word in an entity, etc.:
jQuery first word selector
Maybe you can use this technique.

The closest thing, if it really matters that much I'd say is to add display: inline-block;

CSS To Add Underline After Header Content

Problem
I am working on a project to theme a website, but I am not allowed to change the HTML or JavaScript. I can only update the CSS stylesheet and add/update images.
Requrements
I need to style a h3 tag to have an
underline/border after the content.
This h3 will be used multiple times
on the page, so the conent length can
vary
The solution needs to be
cross-browser (IE 6/7/8, FF 3, &
Safari)
Sample Code
<div class="a">
<div class="b"><!-- etc --></div>
<div class="c">
<h3>Sample Text To Have Line Afterwards</h3>
<ul><!-- etc --></ul>
<p class="d"><!-- etc --></p>
</div>
</div>
Sample Output
Sample Text to Have Line Afterwards ______________________________________
Another Example __________________________________________________________
And Yet Another Example __________________________________________________
Notes
I think #sample:after { content: "__________"; } option wouldn't work since that would only be the correct length for one of the tags
I tried a background-image, but if it gave me problems if I gave it one with a large width
Using text-indent didn't see to give me the effect I was looking for
I tried a combination of border-bottom and text-decoration: none, but that didn't seem to work either
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
This will work if class 'c' is always the parent of the h3...
.c {
position: relative;
margin-top: 25px;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0px;
}
h3 {
font-size:20px;
margin-top: 0px;
position: absolute;
top: -18px;
background: #fff;
}
It lets the container have the border, then uses absolute positioning to move the h3 over it, and the background color lets it blot out the portion of c's border that it's covering.
try attaching a background image to class c of a repeating underline, then add a background color to the h3 to match the background of the container. I believe that you would have to float the h3 left in order to get the width to collapse. does that make sense?
.c {
background: #ffffff url(underline.gif) left 20px repeat-x;
}
.c h3 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 2px 0;
float: left;
font-size: 20px;
background: #ffffff;
}
.c h3 { display: inline; background-color: white; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1em; }
.c ul { margin-top: -1px; border-top: 1px solid; padding-top: 1em; /* simulate margin with padding */ }
http://besh.dwich.cz/tmp/h3.html
H3 {
border: 1px solid red;
border-width: 0 0 1px 0;
text-indent: -60px;
}
You need to know the width of the text, but works pretty well.
The only solution I've imagined so far is to make a PNG or GIF image, with 1px height and a very large width (depends on your project, could be like 1x2000px), and do something like this:
h3#main-title { background: url(line.png) no-repeat bottom XYZem; }
where the XYZ you'd set manually, for each title, in 'em' units. But I can't figure out a 100% dynamic solution for this one, without using JS or adding extra markup.
this worked for me
div.c
{
background-image:url(line.gif);background-repeat:repeat-x;width:100%;height:20px;
}
div.c h3
{
height:20px;background-color:white;display:inline;
}
you make the div the width of your content
then you set the background of the h3 to the background of your page. this will then overlap the background imageof the full div. You might want to play with background positioning depending on your image
Can you pad content in the UL tags? If so, this might work:
h3 { display: inline; margin: 0; padding: 0 10px 0 0; float: left;}
ul { display: inline; border-bottom: 1px solid black; }
check source code of: http://nonlinear.cc/lab/friends/elijahmanor.html
then again i have NO IDEA how to control the end of the line.
Assuming that you're working with dynamic content, the best I could suggest is to accept graceful degradation and use a mix of great_llama and Bohdan Ganicky
Imagine:
A long title that will wrap to two lines___________________
and leave you like this in great_llama's solution
and nothing appearing at all with Bohdan Ganicky's solution if ul isn't immediate preceded by ul.
Solution:
.c h3 { display: inline; background-color: white; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1em; }
.c + * { margin-top: -1px; border-top: 1px solid; padding-top: 1em; /* simulate margin with padding */ }
We care about IE6, but accept that this is an aesthetic touch and IE6 users will not suffer. If you can't get the designer to accept this AND you can't alter the HTML, then do something else (before you find another job ;))
Here's a better answer:
.c {
background: url('line.png') repeat-x 0 20px;
}
H3 {
background-color: white;
display: inline;
position: relative;
top: 1px;
}
Use a small, 1px height, couple px wide image as your underline and occlude it with a background color on your H3.
h3:after {
content: '___________';
}
