Align sub-items within a CSS grid container with adjacent items? - css

I'm looking into aligning the titles of each teaser (card) such that the titles are either the same height, or that the content after the title lines up accordingly with the other teaser in the same "row".
Is this possible to do using just CSS?
.wrapper {
display: grid;
align-items: start;
width: 600px;
margin: auto;
grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
grid-auto-rows: auto-fill;
align-items: start;
gap: 1rem;
}
.teaser {
border: 2px dashed grey;
padding: 10px;
display: grid;
align-items: start;
grid-auto-rows: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(10rem, 1fr));
}
h3 {
background-color: rgb(240 240 30 / 0.5);
padding: 1rem;
}
.content p {
background-color: rgb(120 240 90 / 0.5);
padding: 1rem;
}
<h2>Cards</h2>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="teaser">
<h3>Title</h3>
<div class="content">

You can use .wrapper{display: flex}` to do that

How to combine :has() and :not() css selectors (something like `div:has(.bar:hover) :not(.foo)`)

I'm trying to style a <div> only if one its paragraph gets moused-hover, while also excluding some sections from getting styled. Here is an example of HTML:
<div>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt
ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. <span class=foo'>Ut enim ad minim veniam</span>, quis
nostrud exercitation <span class='foo'>ullamco laboris nisi</span> ut aliquip ex ea commodo
consequat.</p>
<p class='bar'>Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu
fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui
officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>
<div>
For the CSS, I tried:
div:has(.bar:hover) .bar {
color: blue
}
div:has(.bar:hover) :not(.foo) {
color: grey
}
and:
div:has(.bar:hover) .bar {
color: blue
}
div:has(.bar:hover):not(.foo) {
color: grey
}
but none of these options accomplish what I would like.
I would like the first paragraph except for both span to get colored in grey and the second paragraph to get colored in blue. However with my current code, the first paragraph including the span gets coloured in grey and the second in blue: it is not excluding the span from getting styled.
Is there a way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
Something like this?
p:not(.bar):hover {
color: blue;
}
.foo {
color: initial !important;
}
<div>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. <span class=foo>Ut enim ad minim veniam</span>, quis nostrud exercitation <span class=foo>ullamco laboris nisi</span> ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p>
<p class=bar>Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>
<div>
You will need at least 3 rules.
div:has(.bar:hover) .bar {
color: blue
}
div:has(.bar:hover) p {
color: grey
}
div:has(.bar:hover) p .foo {
color: initial;
}
<div>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. <span class="foo">Ut enim ad minim veniam</span>, quis nostrud exercitation <span class="foo">ullamco laboris nisi</span> ut
aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
</p>
<p class="bar">Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</p>

Text next to image, limit text height to image height

So, I have an image and there should be a teaser-text next to it.
The text should fade out at the bottom and display a ">>" as read further-indicator & link.
Now to the problem: the text-side should only be as high as the image.
Is there any way to limit the text-column's height to the height of the image and place the fadeout & link at the bottom?
.su-post-img
{
float: left;
display: block;
max-width: 67% !important;
height: auto !important;
}

UPDATE:
With the excellent answer from #Terminator-Barbapapa I solved my problem.
I added some JS to the answer to allow for dynamic image heights.
Here is my full solution:
// Set height of text column in post to height of image.
function AdjustTextHeight()
{
if (jQuery('.su-post-img').css("flex-basis") != "100%")
{
var height= document.getElementById('post-thumb').offsetHeight;
document.getElementById('post-text').style.maxHeight=height.toString() + "px";
}
}
// add to events
$(window).resize(function()
{
AdjustTextHeight();
});
$(document).ready(function()
{
AdjustTextHeight();
});
.post
{
display: flex;
}
.post-img img {
flex-basis: 35%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.post-text
{
flex-basis: 65%;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
.post-text::before {
content: '';
width: 100%;
height: 5em;
bottom: 0;
position: absolute;
display: block;
background-image: linear-gradient(transparent, white 70%);
}
.post-continue {

bottom: 0;

Hope this helps others!
Use flex to place your columns next to each other. And apply a max-height based on the height of your image. Also you can easily create the fade-out with a ::before pseudo element, so you won't need extra HTML markup. Position your link absolute at the bottom of your section.
.columns {
display: flex;
}
.column {
min-width: 200px;
max-height: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
.su-post-img img {
height: 200px;
}
.su-post-title {
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: xx-large;
}
section::before {
content: '';
width: 100%;
height: 5em;
bottom: 0;
position: absolute;
display: block;
background-image: linear-gradient(transparent, white 70%);
}
section a {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}

I want to make blogger H2,H3,H4 background confined to text size

enter image description hereI use blogger and I have CSS for H2,3,4 tags with special background and text size.
I want the background size to fit the text size automatically and not to be the whole width of the page.
Can anyone help me with another code or css trick to make it work?
I replaced "display: block;" with "display: inline-block" and it worked but with problems as shown on image no. 2.
.post-body h3,.post-body h2,.post-body h4{background-color:#333333;width: auto;padding:10px 20px;color:#FFF;display: block;margin:5px 0 15px;border-bottom:1px solid $(post.line)}
If heading element comes inside a text or between inline elements, you can use display: table
h2 {
display: table;
background: tomato;
}

When you set the h1 tags to inline-block it will behave like an inline element. That means if the following element is also online, they will just be displayed beside each other.
You can use inline-block on the header tags but make sure the following content is display: block. That will start the element in a new line and this way you can achieve what you want with the header tags.
h1 {
display: inline-block;
background-color: #111;
color: #FFF;
}
p {
display: block; /* this is actually the default display for p tags*/
}

Stretch layout height 100% after scrollbars

I have a three-column, fixed header/footer and three-column content layout, where left and right DIVs don't stretch to 100% height when the middle DIV overflows..
Any suggestion? Also, what do you think as far layout CSS and it's cross-browser compatibility and overall CSS usage?
Cheers,
David

Change i did was not to wrap the content with the background and you can use background-size is you are planning to place any image later and you can use 100% or cover as its value. Make the position Fixed and Z-Index :-1

Use table display to have the columns take full height. Since you have some fixed elements it doesn't matter where they reside. Fiddle

Newspaper layout with two columns and a quotation box centered?

I’m looking for a way to create a newspaper layout for a website where the content is split into two columns but with a quotation box in the middle of the columns.
I know how to make two columns using CSS3 with the
-moz-column-count: 2;
-moz-column-gap: 10px;
-webkit-column-count: 2;
-webkit-column-gap: 10px;
But how do I create the quotation box in the middle and is there any way that I “wrap” the content inside the columns around the box in the middle?
I’ve attached an illustration of what I mean.
Please imagine in this illustration that the text in the two columns is wrapped around the box in the middle.
Here's a solution that works:
DEMO HERE
This would give your columns flexibility. However, your quote area would have to be a fixed height/width. If you want to adjust the quote area, change the widths/heights of the spacer divs at the beginning of each column div. Not an elegant solution, but it works.
CSS:
#one {
float:left;
width:48%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
min-height:400px;
}
#two {
float:right;
width:48%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
min-height:400px;
}
#three {
position: absolute;
left:50%;
top:100px;
margin-left:-300px;
border:1px solid;
width:600px;
height:200px;
background: maroon;
color: white;
}
HTML:
<div id="one">
<div style="float: right; height: 80px; width: 10px;"></div>
<div style="float: right; height: 210px; width: 300px; clear: both;"></div>

Notice: This builds upon peteris solution (which didn't wrap around the quote div) below.
I guess it's wrong but...:
<style>
#one {
float:left;
width:48%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
min-height:400px;
}
#two {
float:right;
width:48%;
background-color:#f0f0f0;
min-height:400px;
}
#three {
position:absolute;
left:50%;
top:50%;
margin-top:-150px;
margin-left:-100px;
border:1px solid;
width:200px;
height:200px;
}
</style>
<div id="one">ONE</div>
<div id="three">3</div>
<div id="two">two</div>
It can be achieved, but... it's not flexible, you'll have to tweak the positioning for almost any change you make to the text.
DEMO
HTML
<div class='newspaper'>
<img src='http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8049/birmancat.jpg'>
<p><!-- paragraph text --></p>
<!-- nine more paragraphs -->
</div>
CSS I've added:
.newspaper {
position: relative;
width: 580px;
padding: 10px;
margin: 0 auto;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px;
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 20px;
font-size: 12px
}
p { margin: 0 0 10px; }
p:nth-child(3):before, p:nth-child(8):before {
width: 145px;
height: 200px;
content: '';
}
p:nth-child(3):before {
float: right;
}
p:nth-child(8):before {
float: left;
}
.newspaper img {
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
top: 85px; left: 50%;
margin: 0 -150px;
}

I modified #sean_mcgee's answer by adding some JavaScript to split the columns for you. Just place the text in the newspaperArticle div, and put your quote in the JavaScript field. It doesn't work well on a small screen because the words are longer than the space, so here is a full-screen example: http://jsfiddle.net/iansan5653/xbfYD/4/embedded/result/. The only problem is that it could split an HTML tag apart, so be careful.
