Text and button different font size on same line - css

I have button and text on the same line. They have different font size. Button has padding. In browser it seems that text is on the same line, but the padding goes below the big text. I want the bottom button padding be on the same line as the big text. In other words, shift text a bit down or button a bit up.
Here's my CSS
.bigtext {
font-size: 200%;
border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
}
.button-container {
display: inline-block;
}
.button-container button {
font-size: 40%;
padding: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
}
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/7ydtgb7x/

If you want a really simple way to do this you can just add "position: relative;" and "bottom: 5px;" to your button.
If you need any help let me know by adding a comment. There are three kind of positions:
Relative which follows the flow.
Absolute that almost follows the flow.
And Fixed which gets completely out of any flow.
.bigtext {
font-size: 200%;
border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
}
.button-container {
display: inline-block;
}
.button-container button {
font-size: 40%;
padding: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
position: relative;
bottom: 5px;
}
<div class="bigtext">
Test
<div class="button-container">
<button>Button</button>
</div>
</div>

for a quick fix:
transform:translateY(-5px);
fiddle

Here is a possible solution for you:
wrap your Test with a div, then both child's of .bigtext are (already) displayed inline-block, just make sure they are vertical-align:top.
Align vertical as well the button like this:
.button-container button { vertical-align:top}
Finally "reset" the line-height for your container .bigtext with: line-height:1
Here is a snippet with full code:
.bigtext {
font-size: 200%;
border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
line-height: 1
}
.bigtext > div {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
.button-container button {
font-size: 40%;
padding: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
vertical-align: top
}
<div class="bigtext">
<div class="text-container">Test</div>
<div class="button-container">
<button>Button</button>
</div>
</div>

Use either transform: translateY(-10px); or margin-bottom: 10px;

Positioning elements inside DIV

I have the following HTML:
<div class="Section__item">
<div class="Section__item__title">Title</div>
<div>
<img
class="Section__item__image"
width="120px"
src="/static/images/test.jpeg"
>
<i class="Section__item__icon icon-right-nav-workflow"/>
</div>
<div class="Section__item__text">This is a descritption</div>
</div>
And this is my style using scss:
.Section {
&__item{
border: #EEF3F7 solid 1px;
padding: 10px;
height: 150px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
box-shadow: 3px 3px #EEF3F7;
&:hover {
background-color: #E3F4FE;
cursor: pointer;
}
&__title {
text-align: left;
color: black;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 900;
}
&__image {
padding-top: 5px;
float: left;
}
&__icon {
float: right;
font-size: 40px;
}
&__text {
float: left;
}
}
}
The result is the following:
And what I need to get is the following:
I need the text to be under the image and where you see a "red" line in the right the text can't go further, if text is bigger then wrap text.
Also if you see right icon has to be positioned exactly on the same top level as the image.
Any clue?
There's loads of ways to do this (flexbox, grid, tables, absolute positioning). The oldschool way would be a clearfix but really you should avoid floats altogether. The simplest solution to what you have so far is to remove ALL of the float's; make the div that holds the image and the icon position:relative; and set the icon to position:absolute; top:0; right:0;.
.Section__item {
border: #EEF3F7 solid 1px;
padding: 10px;
min-height: 150px; /* changed to min-height so that it expands if there's loads of text */
margin-bottom: 15px;
box-shadow: 3px 3px #EEF3F7;
width:400px;
}
.Section__item:hover {
background-color: #E3F4FE;
cursor: pointer;
}
.Section__item__title {
color: black;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 900;
}
.Section__item__imagewrap {
position: relative;
}
.Section__item__image {
margin-top: 5px;
}
.Section__item__icon {
font-size: 40px;
line-height: 40px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
}
.Section__item__text {}
<div class="Section__item">
<div class="Section__item__title">Title</div>
<div class="Section__item__imagewrap">
<img class="Section__item__image" width="120px" src="https://placeimg.com/320/240/any">
<i class="Section__item__icon icon-right-nav-workflow">i</i>
</div>
<div class="Section__item__text">This is a description. If the text is long it will wrap and the section__item's height will increase to fit the content.</div>
</div>
Uh... don't use float? Or rather, only use float on the one thing you want to break out of normal flow, which is the icon.
PS: <i> is not an autoclosing tag, so writing <i /> is incorrect even if browsers will likely ignore your mistake. Also, putting padding on an image doesn't seem right, I switched to margin-top in this code.
.Section__item {
display: inline-block; /* so it doesn't take full width of the snippet */
border: #EEF3F7 solid 1px;
padding: 10px;
height: 150px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
box-shadow: 3px 3px #EEF3F7;
}
.Section__item:hover {
background-color: #E3F4FE;
cursor: pointer;
}
.Section__item__title {
text-align: left;
color: black;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 900;
}
.Section__item__image {
margin-top: 5px;
vertical-align: top;
}
.Section__item__icon {
font-size: 40px;
float: right;
}
<div class="Section__item">
<div class="Section__item__title">Title</div>
<div>
<img class="Section__item__image" width="120" height="120">
<i class="Section__item__icon icon-right-nav-workflow">Icon</i>
</div>
<div class="Section__item__text">This is a descritption</div>

Div tag border with title

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.

Border bottom just beneath the text

I have a div block i want to apply border-bottom just beneath the text and not throughout the whole div block
the div block is
#info-header {
font-size: 40px;
text-align: center;
margin:100px 10px 10px 10px;
font-family: Poiret One;
color:lightyellow;
border-bottom: 1px solid whitesmoke;
}
<div id="info-header">
find us through
</div>
You can wrap your text in an inline element like <span> and apply border to it.
HTML:
<div id="info-header">
<span>some text here...</span>
</div>
CSS:
#info-header span {
border-bottom: 1px solid whitesmoke;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
Note: You can make your element inline-block if you wants to apply block level properties but keep it behaving like an inline element. This way you can also control the border-width and the distance between text and border line.
body {
background: green;
min-height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
}
#info-header {
font-size: 40px;
text-align: center;
margin:100px 10px 10px 10px;
font-family: Poiret One;
color:lightyellow;
}
#info-header span {
border-bottom: 1px solid whitesmoke;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
<div id="info-header">
<span>some text here...</span>
</div>
Add css property text-decoration: underline
You should use text-decoration property.
In your case its:
text-decoration: underline;
You can also use text-decoration for overline and line-through read about CSS text-decoration Property
You can change the display value for an another block level.
html {
background: lightgray
}
#info-header {
font-size: 40px;
/*text-align: center;
margin:100px 10px 10px 10px;*/
display: table;/* shrinks on content */
margin: 10px auto;/* margin:auto instead text-align for this block */
font-family: Poiret One;
color: lightyellow;
border-bottom: 1px solid whitesmoke;
}
<div id="info-header">
find us through
</div>
codepen
Give the <div> a fixed width and give it a {margin: 0 auto} for centering
body {
background: #131418;
text-align: center;
}
#info-header {
font-size: 40px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 300px;
color: lightyellow;
border-bottom: 1px solid whitesmoke;
}
<div id="info-header">this is a nice title</div>

Triangle below menu item CSS

My client has provided me with a design for their site and it includes a standard menu with a downward triangle on the active item (see image). I don't know where to start...what's the best way of going about getting this effect?
Here's a tutorial on generating arrows, triangles and other shapes using CSS: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/tutorials/css/slopes
Also have a look at how CSS Arrow Please! generates its arrows: http://cssarrowplease.com/
Here's a little example I just knocked up:
HTML:
<div class="active">
<div>Active Menu Item</div>
</div>
CSS:
.active > div {
width: 150px;
padding: 10px;
background-color: #f00;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
}
.active::after {
display:block;
content: "";
font-size: 0px; line-height: 0%; width: 0px;
border-top: 20px solid #f00;
border-left: 85px solid #fff;
border-right: 85px solid #fff;
}

Side-by-side divs within lists

Trying to display a list of upcoming events, showing the date(s), an icon, and a brief description. All of these should line up side by side, like columns, but when the description wraps, it falls down to the next line. This is probably insanely simple, but I've tried various combinations of float and inline-block with no success.
<div class="events">
<ul class="list-unstyled">
<li>
<div class="event-date">Jun 16 -
<br />Jun 27</div><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-star">a</i>
<div class="event-text">Opening Day for Faculty and Staff</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="event-date">Sep 10 -
<br />Oct 08</div><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-star">b</i> <div class="event-text">Coffee with a Cop, 7:45 a.m. # Cafeteria Courtyard</div></li>
<li>
<div class="event-date">Mar 12</div><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ban-circle">c</i> <div class="event-text">Labor Day: Campus Closed</div></li>
</ul>
.list-unstyled {
list-style: none outside none;
padding-left: 0;
}
.events li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #4188d6;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
.event-date {
background-color: #74a2c2;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #ffffff;
display:inline-block;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
padding: 5px;
width: 65px;
vertical-align:top
}
.event-text {
vertical-align:top;
display:inline;
border:1px solid green
}
i {
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
border:1px solid red
}
http://jsfiddle.net/d4h2A/1/
Using your existing HTML (good as is), try the following CSS:
.list-unstyled {
list-style: none outside none;
padding-left: 0;
}
.events li {
border-bottom: 2px solid #4188d6;
margin-bottom:10px;
overflow: auto;
}
.event-date {
background-color: #74a2c2;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #ffffff;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
padding: 5px;
width: 65px;
float: left;
}
.event-text {
overflow: auto;
border: 1px dotted gray;
}
i {
float: left;
vertical-align:top;
border:1px solid red;
margin-right: 10px;
}
See demo: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/y54Zb/
To allow for a fluid width of .event-text, start by using float: left for .event-date and i (optinally, add a right margin as needed).
To contain the floated elements within the li blocks, use overflow: auto.
Finally, apply overflow: auto for .event-text to keep the text from wrapping around the floated elements.
The net result is that as you shrink the window width, the text will start wrapping at the left edge next to the icon. As you expand the window, the text will simply stay on a single line for a wide enough window (use max-width if this is an issue).
You might want to set a min-width for the text block depending on your layout design.
