Here's my CSS:
div {
border: 1px solid
font-size: 30px
color: red
width: fit-content
height: fit-content
}
Here's my HTML:
<div>⮝</div>
Here's how it shows up in the browser:
Here it is on JS Fiddle:
https://jsfiddle.net/f9wkb4qp/
I'd like to remove the gap between the div border and the font. eg. I'd like to make the result look more like this:
Any ideas as to how I might achieve this effect? Or is this even possible? Like if the white space is actually part of the character then I guess it might not be possible?
Try to use line-height.
div {
border: 1px solid;
font-size: 30px;
color: red;
width: fit-content;
line-height: 0.9;
}
<div>⮝</div>

I have a CSS "tab bar" with a bottom border. The active tab should have a "hole" in the bottom border. I've implemented this by a negative bottom margin and a bottom border the same colour as the background.
This looks fine at normal browser zoom:
But looks bad in various ways in Chrome and Safari if I zoom the browser window:
How do I make it not look bad when zooming? Ideally without introducing additional markup. I would like for it to work at least in all modern browsers.
Here's the code (JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/4utwsvt2/):
HTML:
<body>
<div class="tabs">
<div class="tab active">Foo</div>
<div class="tab">Bar</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
body { background: #fff; }
.tabs {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}
.tab {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid #000;
margin: 0 5px -1px;
padding: 5px;
}
.tab.active {
border-bottom-color: #fff;
}
I've tried decimal pixel values as suggested here with no luck (JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/1gyz7me5/1/).
I've tried using position: relative instead of a negative margin, with no luck (looks good in Chrome but not Safari – JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/qwkvxdj4/).
I've tried using translate instead of a negative margin, with no luck (JSFiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/qwkvxdj4/1/).
I found a solution on Chrome zoom levels except for 75% and 33% and 20%:
body { background: #fff; }
.tabs {
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}
.tab {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
top: 1px;
border: 1px solid #000;
margin: 0 5px;
padding: 5px;
}
.tab.active {
border-bottom-color: #fff;
}
The problem is "hiding" the bottom border with the tab's bottom border to appear active. At certain zoom levels, the aesthetic will only partially cover (if at all) the bottom border. By removing the negative margin and making the position relative, you're moving the tabs after the page has rendered, which is a decent pseudo-fix for zooming in at least.
This jsfiddle looks like this:
I want it to look like this (I created this with MS Paint)... flush:
Is there anything I can add to the styles to achieve this?
div {
border: 1px solid blue;
font-size: 50px; // this number should be treated as arbitrary
}
One option is to use line-height. The amount will depend on the font-family you are using. The advantage would be that line-height can directly depend on font-size so it can be dynamic. However, it doesn't have a concept of vertical top and bottom individually (it applies to both) so you won't have that space under the text.
div {
border: 1px solid blue;
font-size: 70px;
font-family: 'Times';
line-height: 0.7; /* This will work for any font-size on 'Times'*/
}
<div>Hello</div>
You could simulate that bottom space by wrapping the text in an element with margin-bottom.
div.outer {
border: 1px solid blue;
font-size: 70px;
}
div.inner {
font-family: 'Times';
line-height: 0.7;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">Hello</div>
</div>
Another option is to use relative positioning. An advantage of this method over line-height is that the div size does not change.
div {
border:1px solid blue;
font-size: 64px; // works for arbitrary font sizes
}
span{
position:relative;
top:-0.21em;
}
<div>
<span>Hello</span>
</div>
As with line-height, you might have to adjust "-0.21em" depending on your font. -0.21em worked well for me for sans-serif and serif, but not cursive.
I'm on Chrome (38.0.2125.101) and have something that looks like this:
The css is:
.if-container{
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 12px;
width: 400px;
}
.social-row{
background-color: yellow;
padding: 5px 20px 10px 10px;
}
How would I make the css of the embedded element be clipped to the container (or fix it)?
The .social-row <div> is overflowing outside of its parent container. Simply add this to your stylesheet:
.if-container {
overflow: hidden;
}
I have the code:
<div>C</div><div>A</div>
div{
border: 4px solid Brown;
display: inline;
}

So I end up with two rectangles with letters in them.
I was wanting them to display as squares instead. So currently they're rectangles taller than they are wide.
Does anyone know how to style them so they'll come out as perfect squares?
You'll have to set the display to inline-block, so that you can specify an explicit width and height:
div {
display: inline-block;
width: 1.25em;
height: 1.25em;
line-height: 1.25em;
}
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TKQzT/13/
As letters are higher than wider, you'll have to set the with/height of the box manually.
It's not going to be exact without giving them an equal width and height, but try:
div {
border: 4px solid Brown;
display: inline;
padding:2px 5px;
margin:1px
}
and if you're using inline just so you can line up the div's side by side then I recommend using float and having the div's not inline. This way you can give them a explicit width and height.
div {
border: 4px solid Brown;
padding:2px 5px;
margin:1px;
float:left
}
See demo here: http://jsbin.com/ojumay/edit#html,live
The better way i know to do it is to fix height and width, while using inline-block display to be able to do it.
Try this :
div{
display: inline-block;
height: 1em;
width: 1em;
border: 4px solid Brown;
line-height: 1em;
text-align:center
}
I have what I think is some pretty basic css, and it behaves differently in FF4 and IE8.
The CSS in question is like this:
div.showme {
border: 1px dotted blue;
position: absolute;
top :10px;
bottom :10px;
left: 1%;
right: 33%;
overflow: auto;
padding: 0.8em 1em 0.8em 1em;
line-height:1.75em;
}
div.showme a {
padding: 0em 5px 0em 5px;
margin: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
color: #FF00FF;
background-color:#E6E6FA;
border: 1px solid grey;
padding: 0em 4px 0em 4px; }
div.showme a:link { color: blue; }
div.showme a:visited { color: #1E90FF; }
div.showme a:active { color: red; }
The relevant HTML looks like this:
<div class='showme'>
<a href='one'>one</a>
<a href='two'>two</a>
...
</div>
The problem is, the padding is not consistently displayed, in IE8.
In Firefox, it works as I would expect.
working example:
http://jsbin.com/ogosa4
Using the above working demonstration, if you resize the window you will see the padding on the "leading" element on each line within the div, change from zero to non-zero.
How can I fix this?
If you add display: inline-block; to your div.showme a {} the padding will be applied in IE also, but it has some impact with the line height and you may need to specify additional margin's
I have seen this behaviour in Opera too. The padding goes to the upper line. Try display: inline-block and white-space:nowrap if you have more than one word in the link...
You can safely use inline-block in IE7 with inline tags.
