I think i have a issue with the padding.
I made a simple box with only just a padding: 20px; and for me it looks like the padding-bottom is more than 20px.
Here are some screenshots:
Here is my simple css:
.panel {
width: auto;
height: auto;
border-radius: 2px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
position: relative;
}
.panel-default {
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
background: #fff;
}
.panel-default > .panel-body {
font-size: 14px;
}
HTML:
<div class="grid_4">
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.</div>
</div>
</div>
I use 960 Grid System, but i dont think this happend because of this.
And i have in my html, body {} the box-sizing set up to border-box and the line-height to 24px.
Hope someone can help me :)
The padding is alright, the problem is with your margin-bottom: 20px;.
This should be your .css:
.panel {
width: auto;
height: auto;
border-radius: 2px;
position: relative;
}
.panel-default {
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
background: #fff;
}
.panel-default > .panel-body {
font-size: 14px;
}
This code will have the effect you are looking for.

Either you have a margin somewhere.You can check this by inspecting the element using your internet browser (right click).
or you can try floating your .panel-default and giving it a display block like so:
.panel-default {
float: left;
display: block;
}
if this doesn't work it's definitely a margin-bottom somewhere :)
Perhaps you didn't remove the default margin from the paragraph tag, which adds up to the bottom.
Try to set up paragraph margins to 0.

How to remove this gap or merge the borders? Because the lengths are inconsistent
box1 and box2 are 100px, box3 is 200px but their lengths are inconsistent because border...
so how do their length are consistent?
<main>
<div class="shortBox">box1</div>
<div class="shortBox">box2</div>
<div class="longBox">box3</div>
</main>
.shortBox {
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}
.longBox {
width: 200px;
}
.shortBox,
.longBox {
text-align: center;
font-size: 20px;
height: 50px;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #fff;
}
This happens when you have elements that have display: inline or inline-block. Since the browser treats these elements the same way as text, a line-break will be treated as white-space.
Setting the font size to 0 for the wrapper basically eliminates the whitespace, but keep in mind, that this property will be inherited to child elements, so you may have to set the font-size back to >0 for children. Also, this may break layouts that use em as unit, so keep that in mind. By also adding box-sizing: border-box the gaps are gone.
main {
font-size: 0;
}
.shortBox {
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}
.longBox {
width: 200px;
}
.shortBox,
.longBox {
box-sizing: border-box;
text-align: center;
font-size: 20px;
height: 50px;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #fff;
}
<main>
<div class="shortBox">box1</div>
<div class="shortBox">box2</div>
<div class="longBox">box3</div>
</main>
There is also a possible way to use comments to prevent the auto-formatting from adding the white-space / line-break. It does not look too elegant, but it gets the job done. Also, except for the box-sizing: border-box you don't need any additional CSS for this.
.shortBox {
width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}
.longBox {
width: 200px;
}
.shortBox,
.longBox {
box-sizing: border-box;
text-align: center;
font-size: 20px;
height: 50px;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #fff;
}
<main>
<div class="shortBox">box1</div><!--
--><div class="shortBox">box2</div><!--
--><div class="longBox">box3</div>
</main>
The third way of solving this issue is to utilize flexbox. You can create layouts like this, without having to worry about gaps because of white-spaces or line-breaks.
watch this magic:
<main>
<div class="shortBox">box1</div><div class="shortBox">box2</div>
<div class="longBox">box3</div>
</main>
Notice that first 2 divs are NOT divided with new line.
Then in CSS add this extra 2px like this:
.longBox {
width: 202px;
}
I'd like to have a div that looks like this:
Is this possible to do with HTML + CSS? I will also be animating this div with jQuery. When the div is hidden I would like the title and the top line to show.
Yes, but it's not a div, it's a fieldset
fieldset {
border: 1px solid #000;
}
<fieldset>
<legend>AAA</legend>
</fieldset>
You can do something like this, where you set a negative margin on the h1 (or whatever header you are using)
div{
height:100px;
width:100px;
border:2px solid black;
}
h1{
width:30px;
margin-top:-10px;
margin-left:5px;
background:white;
}
Note: you need to set a background as well as a width on the h1
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/ZgEMM/
EDIT
To make it work with hiding the div, you could use some jQuery like this
$('a').click(function(){
var a = $('h1').detach();
$('div').hide();
$(a).prependTo('body');
});
(You will need to modify...)
Example #2: http://jsfiddle.net/ZgEMM/4/
I know a bit late to the party, however I feel the answers could do with some more investigation/input.
I have managed to create the situation without using the fieldset tag - that is wrong anyway as if I'm not in a form then that isn't really what I should be doing.

Outline box with title
What this achieves is the following:
no use of fieldsets.
minimal use of CSS to create effect with just some paddings.
Use of "em" margin top to create font relative title.
use of display inline-block to achieve natural width around the text.
Anyway I hope that helps future stylers, you never know.

You can use a fieldset tag.

Question
Help. I am not great at UX. I am creating an app in React and using Material UI for the look. I really want to create something like this
Where the "Some Title" is a dynamic field from my database as well as the contents. The thing I cannot figure out is what is the best (non skanky) way to add the title into the outline? Thoughts?
Answer position or transform can help you too :
* {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
.fieldset {
border: solid;
color: #353fff;
border-radius: 1em;
margin: 2em 1em 1em;
padding:0 1em 1em;
}
.legend {
transform: translatey(-50%);
width: max-content;
background: white;
padding: 0 0.15em;
}
.fieldset li {
list-style-type: " - ";
}
<div class="fieldset">
<h1 class="legend">Some Title</h1>
<ul>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
<li>Item</li>
</ul>
</div>
If you are not in a position to add a field set, you can add a background to the element. In my situation, I had different colors in the input element and outside the input element, and also we have a hover color for the input element. So this is a fix I added linear-gradient background with outside color in the top half and transparent color in the bottom half.
I added the transparent color to the bottom half inorder to see the hover color when hovered.
.class-name {
background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #2a2b2d 50%, transparent 50%);
}
From a practical perspective, I think PeterS has the best answer. It's also presented in a very clear, didactical style.
Just to save others a few minutes converting it into more production-style code, I've done the following. Basically, it's what you would think you need: One div box inside another, with the outer div box providing the border, the inner providing the title contents with a negative margin shifting it up. A third div then contains the actual content.
This is the CSS:
.outer-border-box {
border: 2px solid black; border-top:3px solid black;}
.label-source-box {
padding: 0 3px; height: 100px; margin-top: -0.8em; }
.box-title {
background: white none repeat scroll 0 0;
padding: 0 2px;
margin-left: 4em;
font-weight:700; font-size:18px;
font-family: 'Avenir Next',Helvetica, sans-serif; }
This is the html:
<div class="outer-border-box">
<div class="label-source-box">
<span class="box-title">Promotional </span>
<div class="box-contents">
<h2>this is the contents</h2>
</div> </div> </div>
It is possible by using the legend tag.

I need to display a border around a div tag with a title in the border itself. In order to do this, this is what I have come up with so far
.componentWrapper {
border: solid cadetblue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 10px;
width: 95%;
}
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
width: 15%;
background-color: white;
margin-top: -25px;
}
<div class='componentWraper'><p class='componentTitle'>This is the title</p>This is the component body text</div>
As you can see I am using margin property to push the title up on top of the border. I am not sure if this is the proper approach to do this and I have the following questions.
I am positioning the title using pixels (margin) and a fixed value (-25px). This is a site that has to work on mobile phones, tablets as well. Is this an acceptable approach?
I am setting the background-color to white so that the border does not appear behind the text, is this an ok approach?
Is there a better and more acceptable way to do this, I do not want to use fieldset because we have little control over the border (border-radius).
There are three logical ways you can use to achieve this.
You can use a <fieldset> with a legend which is the basic HTML way of doing this. You can find more information about this here.
Use custom CSS with positioning, not negative margins or etc.:
body {
background: #fff;
}
.componentWraper {
margin: 40px; /* just for contrast */
position: relative;
border: 2px solid tomato;
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 20px;
}
.componentWraper .componentTitle {
position: absolute;
top: -25px;
background: #fff;
padding: 0 10px;
}
<div class='componentWraper'>
<p class='componentTitle'>This is the title</p>This is the component body text</div>
Use custom CSS with pseudo-elements:
body {
background: #fff;
}
.componentWraper {
margin: 40px; /* just for contrast */
position: relative;
border: 2px solid tomato;
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 20px;
}
.componentWraper::before {
content: 'This is the title';
position: absolute;
top: -10px;
padding: 0 10px;
background: #fff;
}
<div class='componentWraper'>This is the component body text</div>
I think you're on the right track. I'd make a few changes to have more control over the styling. You can use ems or pixels.
Wrap the title and content in a new div and give that a negative margin:
<div class='componentWrapper'>
<div>
<div class='componentTitle'>This is the title</div>
<div class='componentContent'>
<p>This is the component body text</p>
</div>
</div>
.componentWrapper div {
margin-top: -1em;
}
Set your title to display: inline-block and use padding to control the white space around it (instead of using width)
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
background-color: white;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em;
}
codepen
snippet:
.componentWrapper {
border: solid cadetblue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 10px;
width: 95%;
margin-top: 1em;
}
.componentWrapper div {
margin-top: -1.2em;
}
.componentTitle {
font-size: 18px;
background-color: white;
display: inline-block;
padding: .5em .3em;
}
<div class='componentWrapper'>
<div>
<div class='componentTitle'>This is the title</div>
<div class='componentContent'>
<p>This is the component body text</p>
</div>
</div>
This is what I came up with. I wanted to get rid of the negative margin, but couldn't figure out a way to do that.
See the Pen offset title by Yvonne Aburrow (#vogelbeere) on CodePen.
HTML
<div class="componentWrapper">This is the component body text</div>
CSS
.componentWrapper {
border: 1px solid blue;
border-radius: 40px;
padding: 16px;
width: 95%;
margin: 3em;
}
.componentWrapper:before {
content: "this is the title";
font-size: 18px;
width: 10%;
background-color: white;
border: 1px solid blue;
border-radius: 12px;
display: block;
margin-top: -29px;
padding: 3px;
}
I am not sure how a screen reader would deal with the title text being in the CSS (or how you would scale that up if you have a lot of different titles.
The project is to create a micro-blogging website similar to Twitter. I chose to name the site Chirper (how clever of me). Each post is structured by a parent div, an avatar div and a content div. The avatar and content divs are displayed inline, but they are not aligned properly. Any help is appreciated.
HTML:
<div class="chirp">
<div class="chirp_avatar_region">
<img src="img/avatar/default.png" alt="Avatar" width="64" height="64">

The div's aren't aligned how I want them to be (level and 100% of the parent).
I can't post images, so here is a link to an imgur page: http://imgur.com/Mn9mE5q
Relevant CSS:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #000;
background-color: #666;
font-size: 1em;

/* Containers */

You can either float your inner divs then clear the float following the container
or
use vertical-align:top to position your divs at the top of the container
Not entirely sure, but what I think is happening is that by defining position:inline-block, it's putting them on the same line, and making the line-height the height of the chirp_content container. In a sense anyway.
Set to vertical-align:top; and it should solve it.
Ex.
.chirp_content, .chirp_avatar_region{ vertical-align:top; }
JS Fiddle
Give to the avatar_region a float: left, and remove its width: and height: setting. Remove the chirp_content div, it circumvents the inlining.
Please take a look at this laytout which i built with divs:
First of all you can ignore Header section
So Content has to be centered exactly at the center and it has a fixed width which is easy, but Left Column needs to extend from left side until it reaches Content and here is the difficult part, since the gap betwen Left Column and Content can be any length it's hard to know what width to set.
Now i know it would be fairly easy to do this with javascript but i would like to avoid that if possible.
EDIT as requested here is the code:
<div class="left_column"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
.left_column{
width:100px;
height:100px;
float:left;
}
.content{
width:100px;
height:100px;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}
Take a look at Object-Oriented CSS. In particular, check out their grids page
tried percentages?
overflow: auto;
padding: 10px;
width: 45%;
try float left float right as well as display inline, you could also try width auto but that don't work too well
float:left;
width:auto;
height: auto;
display: inline;
there is also one more trick used in menus
<div id="mail_menu">
<ul>
<li><a href=something</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
css
#mail_menu {
position: relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px; /* LTR */
z-index: 3;
color: #000;
}
#mail_menu ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
#mail_menu li {
display: inline;
float:left;
margin: 0px;
padding: 3px;
}
#mail_menu a {
color: #000;
background: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 1px;
border-color:#CCC;
border-width:1px 0;
padding: 2px;
float:left;
border-width:1px;
border-style:solid;
border-bottom-color:#aaa;
border-right-color:#aaa;
border-top-color:#ddd;
border-left-color:#ddd;
border-radius:3px;
-moz-border-radius:3px;
-webkit-border-radius:3px;
}
#mail_menu a:hover {
color: #0000DD;
text-decoration: none;
background-image: url(/images/lyel.png);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
css to middle something
.middle {
display: block;
width: 50em;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto
}
and finally some table values for display to mess with
.td {
display: table-cell;
display:inline
}
.wrap{
position: inherit;
}
.tr {
display: table-row;
display:inline
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th {
text-align: left; /* LTR */
padding-right: 1em; /* LTR */
border-bottom: 3px solid #ccc;
}
I would use percentages, but go 1% short of where you should. I've found a lot of times a browser will "round up" a pixel or something, so if you have your percentages totaling 100%, any extra added will push a div below.
For instance, if you wanted two divs, one on the right and one on the left, have one of them have width:49%; and the other width:50%;.
This can be accomplished using this hack, please try this:
div.header { height: 50px; line-height: 50px; background-color: #222; color: #eee; }
div.wrapper { background-color: #b261da;position: relative;z-index: 0; }
div.wrapper div.content { width: 600px;margin: 0 auto; background-color: #6189fe; color: #fefefe; }
div.wrapper div.left-column { background-color: #00fe72; position: relative;width: 550px;float: left;z-index: -1000; }
with this markup:
<div class="header">Header</div>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left-column">Left Column</div>
<div class="content">Content</div>
</div>
Note the left-column will be cutted if you resize the screen too much. Either way, I hope it helps.
