I am stuck with this simple thing. Basically, i want to make something like this:
but my username view covers the whole width of the page and i get something like this:
My css style:
h3{
font-weight: bold;
color: #675eaf;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
padding: 8px;
font-size: 1.5vw;
}
Ok, so i set the max-width to about 20% and added margin:auto and it works.

I'm trying to get the text to center vertically. This is only important when there is white space (I.E. when the auto height would be less than min-height). How can I accomplish this? I've seen this question asked several times, but none of the answers I've yet found apply to my application.
Thanks! ^_^
Given the fact that you've set a min-height of 75px, you can just add padding of half that to the top and bottom of the text, like so:
.warning {
display:block;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 32.5px 0;
/*vertical-align: middle;*/
}
.warning needs to be display: block; to accept padding, but those are the only changes that are necessary to accomplish your objective, I think. Check it out: http://codepen.io/maxwbailey/pen/qcvre
EDIT
If you want to keep the text centered until the container gets small enough that it fills the min-height, you need to use display: table-cell, like so:
.warning {
display:table-cell;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: middle;
height: 75px;
}

I'm designing a web page and I used HTML5 to make an entire div tag a link. Prior to adding the link, the whole div would expand when I hovered over it. Suddenly, it's only working if I hover over the words, not the box I created. The HTML looks like this (minus the actual link):
<a href="link goes here" style="text-decoration: none;">
<div class="home-tab">
home
</div>
</a>
And the CSS to make it hover looks sort of like this:
.home-tab:hover {
width: 150px;
height: 45px;
margin-top: 30px;
border-top-left-radius: 15px;
border-top-right-radius: 15px;
font-family: arial;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
font-size: 13pt;
padding-top: 25px;
}
(Note: This is not all of the code in the stylesheet. I have some lovely color in there too.)
Is there something I'm missing in my CSS to make the whole thing work on the hover and not just the words? I'm not even sure what questions to ask to figure out what I've done here.
ETA: I have checked this across three different browsers. It has the same problem on IE, Firefox and Chrome.
ETA: CSS without the :hover attribute.
.home-tab{
width: 150px;
height: 35px;
margin-top: 40px;
border-top-left-radius: 15px;
border-top-right-radius: 15px;
font-family: arial;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
font-size: 13pt;
padding-top: 25px;
}
ETA: Okay, here's something very weird. It seems that any elements on the far right don't have this problem. Seriously, the forums tab and next button on the far right both have :hover elements and they work exactly as I want them to.
Get rid of the <div> entirely and set <a> to display: block.
You're not supposed to put block-level elements inside of an <a> anyway.
Seems to be working fine here: jsFiddle
The only thing I can think of is that the div is not the size you think it is. the size and width elements that you are setting in your css are only active when your mouse is on the div. You need to set them in the normal non hover settings as well if you want the div to be that size. Right now it is defaulting to just large enough to hold the text. You can see this demonstrated by the black border I added in my example.
Here is my suggestion:
.home-tab {
/*All of the sizing code goes here to create box for div*/
}
.home-tab:hover {
/*anything you want changed on hover goes here*/
}
I hope I was understanding your question correctly. If you need more clarification please let me know. Good luck!
I think you want to expand that div when you hover cursor on that div.
i wrote a code below that will solve your hover problem.
Here is a code for you customize this
.home-tab{
width:150px;
height:45px;
margin-top:30px;
color:#008080;
font-family: arial;
background-color: blue;
transition-duration: .8s;
color:white;
text-align: center;
font-size: 13pt;
padding-top: 25px;
}
.home-tab:hover{
width:200px;
height:60px;
font-size: 16pt;
transition-duration: .8s;
}
a{ text-decoration:none} /* optional*/
</style>
<a href="#"><div class="home-tab">
home
</div>
</a>
I have some CSS that looks like this:
#content h2 {
background: url(../images/tContent.jpg) no-repeat 0 6px;
}
I would like to replace the image with an icon from Font Awesome.
I do not see anyway to use the icon in CSS as a background image. Is this possible to do assuming the Font Awesome stylesheets/fonts are loaded before my CSS?
You can't use text as a background image, but you can use the :before or :after pseudo classes to place a text character where you want it, without having to add all kinds of messy extra mark-up.
Be sure to set position:relative on your actual text wrapper for the positioning to work.
.mytextwithicon {
position:relative;
}
.mytextwithicon:before {
content: "\25AE"; /* this is your text. You can also use UTF-8 character codes as I do here */
font-family: FontAwesome;
left:-5px;
position:absolute;
top:0;
}
EDIT:
Font Awesome v5 uses other font names than older versions:
For FontAwesome v5, Free Version, use: font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free"
For FontAwesome v5, Pro Version, use: font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Pro"
Note that you should set the same font-weight property, too (seems to be 900).
Another way to find the font name is to right click on a sample font awesome icon on your page and get the font name (same way the utf-8 icon code can be found, but note that you can find it out on :before).
Actually even font-awesome CSS has a similar strategy for setting their icon styles. If you want to get a quick hold of the icon code, check the non-minified font-awesome.css file and there they are....each font in its purity.
Consolidating everything above, the following is the final class which works well
.faArrowIcon {
position:relative;
}
.faArrowIcon:before {
font-family: FontAwesome;
top:0;
left:-5px;
padding-right:10px;
content: "\f0a9";
}
To use font awesome using css follow below steps -
step 1 - Add Fonts of FontAwesome in CSS
/*Font Awesome Fonts*/
#font-face {
font-family: 'FontAwesome';
//in url add your folder path of FontAwsome Fonts
src: url('font-awesome/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype');
}
Step - 2 Use below css to apply font on class element of HTML
.sorting_asc:after {
content: "\f0de"; /* this is your text. You can also use UTF-8 character codes as I do here */
font-family: FontAwesome;
padding-left: 10px !important;
vertical-align: middle;
}
And finally, use "sorting_asc" class to apply the css on desired HTML tag/element.
You can try this example class. and find icon content here: http://astronautweb.co/snippet/font-awesome/
#content h2:before {
display: inline-block;
font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome;
font-size: inherit;
text-rendering: auto;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
transform: translate(0, 0);
content: "\f007";
}
I am bit late to the party. Just like to suggest another way.
button.calendar::before {
content: '\f073';
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
left: -4px;
bottom: 4px;
position: relative;
}
position, left and bottom are used to align the icon.
Sometimes adding font-weight: 600 or above also helps.
No need to embed content into the CSS. You can put the badge content inside the fa element, then adjust the badge css. http://jsfiddle.net/vmjwayrk/2/
<i class="fa fa-envelope fa-5x" style="position:relative;color:grey;">
<span style="
background-color: navy;
border-radius: 50%;
font-size: .25em;
display:block;
position:absolute;
text-align: center;
line-height: 2em;
top: -.5em;
right: -.5em;
width: 2em;
height: 2em;
border:solid 4px #fff;
box-shadow:0px 0px 1px #000;
color: #fff;
">17</span>
</i>
#content h2:before {
content: "\f055";
font-family: FontAwesome;
left:0;
position:absolute;
top:0;
}
Example Link:
https://codepen.io/bungeedesign/pen/XqeLQg
Get Icon code from:
https://fontawesome.com/cheatsheet?from=io
Alternatively, if using Sass, one can "extend" FA icons to display them:
.mytextwithicon:before {
#extend .fas, .fa-angle-double-right;
#extend .mr-2; // using bootstrap to add a small gap
// between the icon and the text.
}
It seems that the given answers don't give a real background as the fontawesome is rendered outside the bloc you want the background in.
Here is my solution to have a "real" background effect :
html :
<div id="bloc" class="bg_ico_outer" style="">
<i class="fa fa-bookmark-o bg_ico"></i>
<div class='bloc_inner'>
<h2>test fontawesome as background</h2>
</div>
</div>
css :
.bg_ico {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: -10px;
font-size: 17em;
color: green;
transform: rotate(25deg);
}
.bg_ico_outer{position: relative; overflow: hidden;}
#bloc{
height: 200px;
width:200px;
background: blue;
margin:50px auto;
}
.bloc_inner{
position: absolute;
}
h2{color: white;}
For this you just need to add content attribute and font-family attribute to the required element via :before or :after wherever applicable.
For example: I wanted to attach an attachment icon after all the a element inside my post. So, first I need to search if such icon exists in fontawesome. Like in the case I found it here, i.e. fa fa-paperclip. Then I would right click the icon there, and go the ::before pseudo property to fetch out the content tag it is using, which in my case I found to be \f0c6. Then I would use that in my css like this:
.post a:after {
font-family: FontAwesome,
content: " \f0c6" /* I added a space before \ for better UI */
}
This seems to be the simplest solution :-)
#content h2:before {
font-family: FontAwesome;
content: "\f055";
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
}
UPDATE
In my style sheet I have a conflict with these snippets. If I keep this one
<style type="text/css">
::selection{ background-color: #E13300; color: white; }
::moz-selection{ background-color: #E13300; color: white; }
::webkit-selection{ background-color: #E13300; color: white; }
then, the gradient effect of the one below works, but the header banner is displaced towards the right. If I remove that, the header banner positions itself correctly, but the gradient effect of the code below does not work :/
body {
background-image:url('../assets/uploads/miweb/gradient2.png');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
margin: 40px;
font: 13px/20px normal Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #4F5155;
width:600px;
height:500px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
a {
UPDATE II
These 3 lines
::selection{ background-color: #E13300; color: white; }
::moz-selection{ background-color: #E13300; color: white; }
::webkit-selection{ background-color: #E13300; color: white; }
have a huge impact on the rest of the page
They make this code:
body {
background-image:url('../assets/uploads/miweb/gradient2.png');
background-repeat:repeat-x;
margin: 40px;
font: 13px/20px normal Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #4F5155;
width:600px;
height:500px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
be effective. If I remove those 3 lines, the gradient effect will not take effect and the font letters will not be of that family but the standard times roman. However, the negative effect is, like I said, that it displaces to the right a banner that I have as header
I have one header page, one controller and one view and the style sheet to which I have a link in the View
Like the others have said the code doesn't affect the positioning of the elements. Only way that it can affect the header would be if that piece of code is not treated as css at all. Check if the code is in the correct style tags.
The moz is for Firefox and as stated already its for styling. Are you using IE? as if so Id suggest trying alternate browser as well as IE has issues with the double colon which is for css3(no suprise there). have a look here
as I used this when I first came across these and it described them well.
That code shouldn't affect what you're doing. It is code that will change the background colour and text colour of text when it is selected by the user using their mouse.
Could you give us an example link of this happening with it commented out, please?
EDIT
What is the center: attribute supposed to be doing? It isn't valid CSS...
