How to add this vertical divider in navbar? - css

I need to create this kind of divider (the vertical line before browse and avatar). I don't want to use images, so is there a way to make in css?
I have tried:
.hr_v {
width: 1px;
height: 80px;
border: 0;
border-left: 1px solid;
color: gray;
background-color: gray;
}

The css shall be applied on the floated div, not a hr tag.
hr cannot be applied vertically Is there a vr (vertical rule) in html?.
You need to only set the border-left and add the border color since it was missing in your code, you can also add a left padding for better view :
#floatingAvatarDiv
{
border-left: 1px solid gray;
padding-left: 2px;
}
or create a class since you need it for both divs :
.leftBorderDiv
{
border-left: 1px solid gray;
padding-left: 2px;
}
and add it to your menu container and the avatar container divisions

You could use :before
.avatar {
position: relative;
height: 80px;
border-left: 1px solid gray;
}
.avatar:before {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 1px;
content: '';
width: 1px;
background-color: #333; /* different gray */
}

In case your "Browse" button's container is bigger, you may get longer borders. In such case, you may simply try a "|" (a pipe) in a span before the "Browse" button and style to however you want. In this case, you wont have to use a lot of css styling.

CSS :nth-child(even) doesn't work correctly

I have simple css and html code and i wondering why last vertical image not working. I mean it border and margin should be added to last element not first.
Is anyone knows why this not work?
See in https://jsfiddle.net/st2Lwrgj/
* {margin: 0; padding: 0;}
.wrap {width: 250px; border: 1px solid red;overflow:hidden;}
img {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
img.vertical {
width: 45%;
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
}
img.vertical:nth-child(even) {
margin-right: 0px;
border: 2px solid blue;
}
:nth-child(even) will apply to every second image (second, fourth and so on). When you insert a horizontal image without the .vertical class you will break this order.
The following is a bit of a workaround, but the logic is pretty simple.
First we select every second image using img.vertical:nth-child(even)
We then find images without the .vertical class using:not(.vertical)
We then use the general sibling selector to select the following images and revert the order using img.vertical:nth-child(odd) instead of even.
As we have now applied borders to both odd and even ocurances of img.vertical, we need to remove the styling from the images we selected at point 1. We do this with a selector as set in point 3, but with even instead of odd: img:not(.vertical) ~ img.vertical:nth-child(even)
TLDR; change this part:
img.vertical:nth-child(even) {
margin-right: 0px;
border: 2px solid blue;
}
Into the following:
img.vertical:nth-child(even),
img:not(.vertical) ~ img.vertical:nth-child(odd) {
margin-right: 0px;
border: 2px solid blue;
}
img:not(.vertical) ~ img.vertical:nth-child(even) {
margin-right: 10px;
border: 0;
}
You can see how this works in this fiddle.

CSS Border radius, border color ghost corner borders in IE

Morning,
I have the following code that works in all browsers other than IE. I want a blue border to appear when clicking on input boxes, however did not want to see the elements resizing and positioning. I fixed this by putting a border colour to match the background colour, thus removing the resizing effect. However, on IE, you get ghost borders which seem to be a combination of both the border radius and border colour (background colour). Any ideas of how to fix this without using box shadow?
Screen Shot showing ghost borders:
input,
textarea,
select {
position: relative;
display: block;
border: 3px solid #4f4f4f;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 6px auto 22px auto;
width: 260px;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: center;
&:focus {
outline: none;
border: 3px solid #4cc7fa;
}
}
Many thanks!
You can do like this to overcome the ghost/resize/re-positioning effect, where you change border-width on focus and compensate its re-positioning with a negative top
body {
background: gray;
}
input,
textarea,
select {
position: relative;
display: block;
border: 0px solid gray;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 6px auto 22px auto;
width: 260px;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: center;
}
input:focus {
top: -3px;
outline: none;
border: 3px solid #4cc7fa;
}
<input type="text">
I would use the following javascript:
Your-function() {
document.getElementsByTagName('input','textarea','select').classlist.toggle('show')
}
add display:none to input:focus
add the following css
.show
{
display:block;
}
Note: Add onclick="Yourfunction()" to your markup to load the js.

How to make an arrow triangle in CSS with smooth sides?

I want to ask how can i create a css arrow triangle with smooth sides i.e. no cut in the side of arrow without using any image? I have already tried the tutorial -
[http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/css-triangle/][1]
.arrow_up
{
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 10px solid transparent;
border-right: 10px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 10px solid black;
position:absolute;
top:75px;
left:250px;
}
<div class="arrow_up"></div>
UPDATE
Sorry, the issue was found only in some older version of Firefox.
You need to use a pseudo element and rotate it:
DEMO
CSS:
.arrow_up
{
width: 100px;
height: 50px;
position:absolute;
top:150px;
left:250px;
overflow:hidden;/* hide part of the pseudo overflowing*/
}
.arrow_up:before {
content:'';
position:absolute;
width:100%;
padding-top:100%;/* it will draw a square , change this value for other degrees angles*/
transform:rotate(45deg);/* we'll see a corner */
background:black;
top:20px;/* tune this according to size of parent or size to be seen */
}
Do not forget to add vendor-prefix or use a script that adds them automaticly.
The use o a pseudo element allows to add content in the box : ie. http://codepen.io/gc-nomade/pen/gdoGA
The only thing I can possibly think of is that you have another element on the page which is slightly overlapping onto the arrow as when tested it works fine:
http://jsfiddle.net/Hive7/qLAg4/
.arrow_up {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 50px solid transparent;
border-right: 50px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 50px solid black;
position: absolute;
top: 75px;
left: 250px;
}
It could be something to do with your browser as well though

css drawn 6-points star place inside the Button link

I found a code drawing a 6-point star:
#star-six {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 50px solid transparent;
border-right: 50px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 100px solid red;
position: relative;
}
#star-six:after {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 50px solid transparent;
border-right: 50px solid transparent;
border-top: 100px solid red;
position: absolute;
content: "";
top: 30px;
left: -50px;
}
now I need to place this picture inside the Button element.
should look like a real button with 6-point start on the left side.
|*Button| Like this :)
Try including a div inside of a tag - something like this code here:
<button onclick="sayHello();"><div id="star-six"> </div></button>
http://jsfiddle.net/53mHn/
Updated:
If you want the star on the left, create two divs inside of your button, one for the star and one for your text. Set the width of the star div to be 50px (or whatever the star width is) and set the float: to left.
<button onclick="sayHello();"><div class="star-content star-icon" id="star-six"> </div><div class="star-content">This is the text inside of my button</div></button>
Css is here:
.star-icon {
width: 50px;
float: left;
}

CSS Borders - outlining a group of DIVs neatly

I'm having a 'blonde moment' here - I'm sure this is easy but I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a grid of DIVs (10 rows which are CLEAR:BOTH - each with 10 FLOAT:LEFT DIVs of a fixed size).
What I want to do is assign a border to a group of these and this works (with the non-bordered sides/cells having a transparent border to keep everything aligned) BUT the way individual borders work, the 'corners' leave an ugly effect.
See this for an example
Am I missing an obvious trick to just make that a solid box rather than the 'dotted line' effect the corners are creating??
To clarify my CSS - the rows have this class
.row {
clear: both;
}
and the cells have this class
.cell {
float: left;
border: 5px solid transparent;
}
as well as between 0 and 4 classes like this one
.top { // repeated for bottom, left and right ofc.
border-top: 5px solid black;
}
Compare this:
div {
border: 3px solid white;
border-right: 3px solid black;
}
To this:
div {
border: none;
border-right: 3px solid black;
}
EDIT
The accepted solution was to make the padding take the place of the border, which would make the borders squared off. See:
http://jsfiddle.net/kCd7s/2/
If you put a border on the entire square, this is how border behaves. If you want to avoid this you should give the boxes with a black border dimensions on the sides not having a border equal to the width of the border, so add border: none first, then add dimensions, like if normal height is 20 and border is 5, and you want a border on the right, you would set: height: 30; width: 25; border-right: 5px solid;
Or try this way:
.top::before,
.bottom::before,
.left::after,
.right::after {
content: ".";
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: black;
display: block;
font-size: 0;
position: absolute;
}
.top::before {
height: 5px;
}
.bottom::before {
height: 5px;
top: 35px;
}
.left::after {
width: 5px;
}
.right::after {
width: 5px;
left: 35px;
}
