I have an countdown page, that counts down the time to a specific date. Now, every time the milliseconds gets only 2 or 1 decimal, the whole text moves itself (looks like flickering). What would I need to change to get the text to stand absolutely still?
I made a GIF of how it looks.
You could add a width to the element containing the text using either width or min-width. This would stop it from resizing every time the text gets shorter.
I think that the only solution is give a fix width (max width that 3 numbers occupy) to each (minutes, seconds, mili seconds).

I have a tr with td's containing inputs. I'm not applying any size attribute or style with regard to width.
Some inputs contain just single digits and some contain words. The ones containing single digits have much extra white space and the ones containing words contain far less.
When I resize the page containing the table, the table shrinks to keep fitting 100% of the page. But, all the inputs seem to basically resize at about the same rate with no regard for which input has the most space to give up. By space, I mean the empty area in the input that does not show any data; the extra space to the right (as my inputs are left aligned).
Is there a css property that would apply to this situation to help accomplish reducing the size of the inputs which have the most white space to give up first and putting off truncating visible text as long as possible?
You could try auto sizing the inputs using a script like this:

Anyways, the script is not for drop downs so far, but could be adapted.
But: If in the first line there is a 1 and in the second a 11 then the inputs would have different sizes.
I am not that advanced on CSS so I wanted to ask someone before reporting this as a problem.
I am using the latest (v2.0.3) bootstrap Hero example to show this issue. When I create a single_long_word of text greater than about 1/2 the column size (due to a large font or simply a large number of characters in a single word), the text is allowed to go outside of its column before the layout adjusts when I re-size the browser window to make it smaller.
All I had to do was change the text in the column to make a large or long word and then reduce the window size of the browser. It does eventually re-layout the columns to allow for more width, but not before the long word exceeds the boundary of the column it is in.
This happens for both normal and fluid containers in with a responsive grid.
It is easy to duplicate in Chrome by just going to this page and editing the text after inspecting a column element.

Im browsing the net for more than a day now and still can't find a working solution to the followin problem.
A div should grow from nothing to 100% from the bottom up then
text should fade in
then a timeout
then text should fade-out
then div should schrink towards the bottom of the div and vanish.
.max{
max-height:100%;height:100%;color:#fff;
-moz-transition-property:max-height,height, color;
-moz-transition-duration:3s,3s,1s;
-moz-transition-delay:0s,0s,2s;
}
.min{
max-height:0%;height:0%;color:transparent;
-moz-transition-property:max-height,height, color;
-moz-transition-duration:3s,3s,1s;
-moz-transition-delay:1s,1s,0s;
}
how can I serialize max & min into one CssClass
If that's not possible how to do it in another way.
But that doesn't fly.
Anyone a nice idea or experience with this?
The transition can only work, if your start values and your end values differ.
Because your start values and end values don't differ ('you come from nothing and you go to nothing' (Always look on the bright side of life)) it is not possible in one CSS class.
What maybe possible is that you have two classes say appear and disappear and switch between them after a certain amount of time with javascript (setTimeout function)
Is it possible to calculate if an element is at the start of a new line within a <p>? For example take a look at this screenshot:
You'll see that the Twitter button has a slight margin to it. This is fine when it's following a word, but I was wondering if there was a hidden CSS gem that'd allow me to say "if you're the first 'thing' on a line then lose your margin-left".
Edit: The answer was p button:first-child or p > button, but neither work. See the comments.
You might want to set the margin to 0 all the time and then make sure the button always has a space before it. (Edit: won't work either, since a space is not enough. Again, see the comments.)
It is possible to do this calculation programmatically using JavaScript, but I'm not aware of any CSS tricks that will do it for you.
The basic JavaScript algorithm for doing this is to append an invisible node to your document with the same text styling as your paragraphs of text. Then you gradually add text to it, checking its width after each addition to see where the linebreaks are. Then when you've worked out what the width of the final line is, you check to see if that width would put the twitter button on the next line by itself, and update the CSS styles appropriately to remove the margin. This needs to be done for each <p> on the page that includes a twitter button.
It's not the most straightforward approach (in fact, Mr. Lister's solution is far simpler and produces a comparable effect as long as the margin is not more than a few pixels wide), but it's not quite as bad as it sounds, either.
Here's an example:

I am designing a page to Add/Edit users - I used a repeater control and a table to display users. In users view the individual columns of the table row have labels to display a record values and when users click on edit button, the labels are hidden and text boxes are displayed for users to edit values - The problem is - as soon as the text boxes are visible, the table size increases - the row height and cells size becomes large. Is there a way to display the text boxes so that they take the same size as the labels
Dealing with tables, the question is: can your labels span on multiple text rows (ie: can you have long texts)? If yes, you may encounter layout problems any way. If no, a simple approach can be creating a CSS Class:
.CellContent { display:block; width: ...; height: ...; }
with your preferred cell width/height. Just stay a bit "large" with your height.
Assign the class to both your label and textbox, and you should not get width/height changes when switching control (thanks to the display:block property).
Again, if you have long texts, you will still encounter issues, and may want to use multilines. In that case, I would suggest ignoring height problems: just set the width to be consistent, and always show a 3-4 lines textbox for editing. Users will not be bothered to see a row height change, if they are ready to type long texts.
I'd use JS+CSS... You'll have to get your hands dirty for this one though. Visual Studio isn't going to help you much.
Here's how I'd do it:
Get the <td> clientWidth and clientHeight.
Set the <td>'s width and height to those px values (so they're no longer relative)
Swap the text for the input
In your CSS, make sure the input has no padding/margin/border and set width:100%, line-height:1em, and height:1em
When you switch back, make sure you un-set the <td> width and height so they return to automatic values.
You'll need to tweak this all slightly. I'm sure you'll have to play around with the padding on the <td> and perhaps set overflow:hidden but you should be able to do what you want.
