Hello. I am having troubles with the format of how the three elements are presented! The html {font-size: 62.5%} in the styling is decreasing the font size of the entire page.
When I disable html {font-size: 62.5%} the three element are getting wider! Almost widescreen! It is getting too big! I wonder why the font-size: 62.5%; having such lot of effect how the 3 blocks are formatted! font-size: 62.5 is a font setting?
There is not text inside for the moment, but it still has effect on it. Why is the line so important for the presentation of the 3 blocks. Hope it is clear for everybody and someone could help me with this.

Fonts based on the html and/or body element are relational and like any other CSS properties and values applied to those selectors are inherited. There is a whole thing about relative font sizes and the CSS em unit. Arno's answer covers it pretty decently.
This is mostly to get you moving forward with less code. You can make the images scale with resolution. I'm at 2560x1440 so I had to downsize the browser window to see the issue. You should remove the width property and instead use max-width: 33%; (for specifically three images) which scales nicely without even needing CSS media queries for mobile.
Go easy on those div elements! I also highly recommend familiarizing yourself with what stable aspects of CSS are available, it's a great time to be a newbie compared to 15 years ago! I added CSS Flex (Grid isn't as mature yet) and it's extremely powerful once you get around it's quirks.
div.card
{
display: flex;
justify-content: space-evenly;
}
div.card img
{
display: block;
height: 18rem;
max-width: 33%;
object-fit: cover;
}
<div class="card">

The font-size: 62.5% is a critical part of how this layout work, this is because it's rem based. rem units are based on font-size on the root of the document to inherit it's value. Setting the font-size to 62.5% means 1rem is equal to 10px.
More about rem uses and styling here: https://www.sitepoint.com/understanding-and-using-rem-units-in-css/.
There are two ways you can solve this.
Changing all your font sizes to rem units. (my pick)
You can change the font-sizes from 16px to 1.6rem. etc.
Change rem unit to em and set parent font-size
You can also remove the font-size: 62.5% from the html selector to #global-3blocksfancy and change the rem to em this means the parent element (global-3blocksfancy) font-size will determine the size of the other elements.

I'm trying to make a fluid grid layout and I've run into a problem with inconsistent width rendering in Opera. In Opera the width of elements are consistently smaller than the other browsers. I'm trying the fluid 960 grid system but if it wont be consistent then I may change to fixed sizes.
Does anyone know how I can get Opera to render the width the same as the other browsers?
Here is the CSS and HTML I'm using for this demo
.show_grid {
background: url(../img/grid.gif) no-repeat center top;
}
html, body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.container {
width: 92%;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
max-width: 936px;
padding-top: 15%;
}
.box {
width: 15.633%;
background: #006;
color: #999;
margin: 5% .55%
}
<div class="container show_grid">
<div class="box">2 column - browser name</div>
</div>
Opera rounds percent widths but it doesn't round percentage values for paddings and margins.
So, the easy way is to set the width: 15%, and add padding-right:.633%. But doing so, only the block would be bigger visually.
If you want to have it's width fair so all childs would have the same width, you'll need to add another wrapper and add the appropriate negative margin to it. It is calculated by this formula: 100/width*padding, in your case: 100/15*0.633. It would compensate the padding and everything would be cool.
Here is a fiddle with all the variants: http://jsfiddle.net/kizu/8q23d/
— fixed width in pixels, block with width:15.633%, first visual fix and the proper fix at the end.
Dealing with different box models could be very tricky and time consuming.
I definitely suggest you to avoid dirty CSS hacks that will not validate your css files.
You could try to drop the use of percentage values and go for an "elastic" layout.
In this case you specify the min-width and max-width for your block elements.
An article about elastic layout is here and something more here
In alternative you could detect the browser via javascript or via library and use conditional CSS files.
This is my favorite approach when dealing with IE.
conditional css is a library that will help you with that, but there are many more options in the web.
Good luck
The problem is that Firefox and WebKit based browsers seem to align text vertically in different ways when contained in an element that has an even height/line-height and the font-size is uneven (or vice versa). I have looked at some similar threads, but I haven't really seen any great explanations for my question.
Consider the following example:
.box {
font-size: 15px;
font-family: Helvetica, Arial;
background-color: Blue;
height: 20px;
width: 60px;
color: White;
line-height: 20px;
}
<div class="box">
A text.
</div>
Is there any way to fix this? Is there any "text-align" property or something that I missed?
This is due to differences in how browsers handle subpixel text positioning. If your line-height is 20 pixels but font-size is 15 pixels, then the text needs to be positioned 2.5 pixels from the top of the line box. Gecko actually does that (and then antialiases or snaps to the pixel grid as needed on painting). WebKit just rounds positions to integer pixels during layout. In some cases, the two approaches give answers that differ by a pixel. Unless you're comparing them side-by-side, how can you even tell there's a difference?
In any case, making sure that your half-leading is an integer (i.e. that line-height minus font-size is even) will make the rendering more consistent if you really need that.
This is browser rendering issue. Use line-height 1px less than the given height, for example:
.box
{
background-color: Blue;
color: White;
font-family: Helvetica,Arial;
font-size: 15px;
height: 18px;
line-height: 17px;
width: 60px;
}
If you are looking for a way to do an exact vertical align, check out Stack Overflow question Problem with vertical-align: middle; - I described a solution there.
If you want an answer why Firebug and Chrome display this differently, this will be a bit more complicated. Line-height alignment is based on font-line rendering and fonts can be handled in a very different way across the browsers. For example, font-smoothing and font-weight can really mess with your page.
Also, are you using CSS reset for this page? It contains font related adjustments as well, and it may help you to overcome cross-browser issues. Refer to CSS Tools: Reset CSS.
Ugh, terrible but true! I just ran into this trying to create tiny count bubbles on an icon - so small that I had to get right next to text so every pixel counted. Making the line-height 1x less than text-size leveled the display field between FF and Chrome.
Can someone help me vertically center text inside a div, consistently across browsers. In IE9 ONLY, text is one pixel closer to the top of the parent div. All other browsers render the text as expected.
Important: I'm using standards-mode:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Here's some example HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<div style="width:100px; height:16px; font-size:13px; font-family:Arial; line-height:1.2; background-color:red; color:White; vertical-align:middle">
<div style="line-height:16px">XXXXXXXXXX</div></div>
Bit late to the party. However, I came across a similar issue recently. After some digging about I came across this article: Sub-pixel Fonts in IE9.
I think this is directly responsible for the issues of font vertical alignment in IE9. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a fix as this is a forced option or customisable by the user (not likely to happen).
So it looks like the only solution is to increase the line-height as mentioned previously.
You might want to look at the following:
CSS: Standard (dynamic) way to centralize an element in the y-axis
There are some useful references that will probably still apply to IE9.
Based on your code: you are setting the line-height in more than one place. Try removing the line-height:16px property in your inner div, in fact, get rid of the inner div since vertical-align will only affect inline elements.
Also, make sure your container height is big enough to hold the text (1.2*13) otherwise you may get into issues related to different fonts or different default font-sizes across browsers.
Probably what is happening is that 1.2*13 = 15.6, and depending how the browser rounds off floating point numbers, that could account for a 1 pixel shift. Set line-height to 16px instead of 1.2 and see if that works.
Second Try:
.outer {
background-color: red;
color: white;
width: 100px;
height: auto;
padding-top: 0px;
font-family: Arial, sans-serf;
font-size: 13px;
line-height: 5.0;
}
applied to:
<div class="outer">XXXXXXXXXX</div>
If anything will fix this, make the line-height large enough so that there is some space above/below the lettering. Set the container height to auto and let the line-height control the height of the container.
There is an answer to this question here:
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/css-53/text-alignment-w-ie9-standards-mode-745359.html
I had the same problem with the 1px off text rendering, and it would only appear with font size 13px in IE9.
adding the css style
{
height: 16px;
line-height:16.99px;
}
to the surrounding div fixed the problem for me on IE7-9, FF and Chrome on Windows.
I'm setting a height of 20px on a <div>, though when it renders in the browser, its only 14px high.
Any ideas?
<div style="display:inline; height:20px width: 70px">My Text Here</div>
You cannot set height and width for elements with display:inline;. Use display:inline-block; instead.
From the CSS2 spec:
10.6.1 Inline, non-replaced elements
The height property does not apply. The height of the content area should be based on the font, but this specification does not specify how. A UA may, e.g., use the em-box or the maximum ascender and descender of the font. (The latter would ensure that glyphs with parts above or below the em-box still fall within the content area, but leads to differently sized boxes for different fonts; the former would ensure authors can control background styling relative to the 'line-height', but leads to glyphs painting outside their content area.)
EDIT — You're also missing a ; terminator for the height property:
<div style="display:inline; height:20px width: 70px">My Text Here</div>
<!-- ^^ here -->
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/FpqtJ/
This worked for me:
min-height: 14px;
height: 14px;
Also, make sure you add ";" to each style. Your excluding them from width and height and while it might not be causing your specific problem, it's important to close it.
<div style="height:20px; width: 70px;">My Text Here</div>
You're loosing your height attribute because you're changing the block element to inline (it's now going to act like a <p>). You're probably picking up that 14px height because of the text height inside your in-line div.
Inline-block may work for your needs, but you may have to implement a work around or two for cross-browser support.
IE supports inline-block, but only for elements that are natively inline.
Set positioning to absolute. That will solve the problem immediately, but might cause some problems in layout later. You can always figure out a way around them ;)
Example:
position:absolute;
Position absolute fixes it for me. I suggest also adding a semi-colon if you haven't already.
.container {
width: 22.5%;
size: 22.5% 22.5%;
margin-top: 0%;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: floralwhite;
display:inline-block;
min-height: 20%;
position: absolute;
height: 50%;
}
You try to set the height property of an inline element, which is not possible. You can try to make it a block element, or perhaps you meant to alter the line-height property?
I'm told that it's bad practice to overuse it, but you can always add !important after your code to prioritize the css properties value.
.p{height:400px!important;}
use the min-height property. min-height:20px;
Im using Lucida Grande font for my site and when I put the font-size large, say 30px, the fonts in the two adjacent lines overlap upto some extent. How can I put a gap between the two lines using CSS?
Use the line-height property. Something like
p {
line-height: 1.3em;
}
Should do. This will give you line height 1.3 times the font-size you set. You probably have this set to a fixed number, like 25px in another ruleset or stylesheet, thus when you increase the font-size the line height does not increase with it.
You probably have a fixed line-height set. Change it to be either relative (e.g., line-height: 1.3em;) or fixed, but larger (30px).
/*
user same line-height as as font-size;
*/
.product{
font-size:30px;
line-height:30px;
}
/*
its always a better practice to define line-height in body if you are going to use same font size across or as standard
*/
