I have a jsfiddle here - http://jsfiddle.net/gh4Lur4b/2/
It's a bootstrap carousel with caption on each slide.
I'd like to change the position of the caption so it is left aligned to the red block below that is a bootstrap container block. I can position it with px or % but looks out of place at big pr small screen sizes.
I'd also like to have the text inline and have a black background. In the example I have done it by fixed the width of the container which won't work because I don't know how much text that will be.
.block{
background: red;
height: 200px;
}
.carousel-caption{
font-size: 3em;
left: 10%;
text-align: left;
background: black;
color: white;
display: inline;
width: 200px;
padding: 0;
}
1.To align left edge with the red block, you could add left: 0; to your class .carousel-caption. So the caption will be positioned to the left edge.
2.For the size of the caption box. No need to set the size in fix pixel. The reason why there is a strange width for this box is. The CSS code in Bootstrap has already set a rule right:15%;. That makes the right side of this box stick to the 15% of the right edge. It automatically drag the box's right edge. Thus, let remove this rule by add right:auto; to your .carousel-caption, and remember to remove the width:200px; .
You can override it by putting styles width: 46%; and margin-left: -153px; into .carousel-caption class.

I'm creating a small view on my page where I have a centered 500x650 div with some text in it.
I have a bootstrap div as a container, <div class="container">. Inside that I have my centered 500x650 div, with a CSS like this:
.desc {
position: relative;
margin: 30px 245px 0px;
height: 500px;
width: 650px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px dashed #cbd0d8;
padding: 5px;
}
This looks good. Now, I'm trying to add a small image which is supposed to be right by the left bottom corner of the dashed border. Problem is, I centered it with margin: auto, creating a huge horizontal margin on the sides of the .desc-div, so I can't position my img, which is in a div with position: relative, as the margin pushes it down under the corner.
I could use position: absolute on my image but I'm trying to avoid that as I understand it looks different on different sized monitors, and I want this image to sit pretty exactly in one spot.
How do I solve this?
To place your image exactly into the lower left corner of your .desc DIV, put your image tag inside the .desc DIV and give it the following settings:
img.yourclass {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 40px;
height: 30px;
}
Since your DIV already has position: relative, it will act as the position anchor for the absolutely positioned image, and the bottom and left settings place it in the lower left corner.
The width and height of course depend on the image itself . adjust that as needed.
I have a problem in Chrome with this example
This is a responsive bootstrap design..
When the width is less than 1000px the green block should press the blue bar down, but in Chrome the blue bar keeps the same position and the green block is layered under it..

You have specified height for the '#presentation' div: 385px. The green box in inside this box.
The '#statistics' div is clearing the '#presentation' div so it will sit after the 385px.
SOLUTION:
Either increase the height of the '#presentation' div to include the height of green box.
Or
Remove the height from the '#presentation' div.
Try moving statistics to a new row div!
because fix width is give for classes under .col-md-12
#slideshow {
position: relative;
float: left;
height: 380px;
width: 570px;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
}
#register {
float: right;
height: 380px;
width: 20%;
background: green
}
use can use bootstrap classes for giving width
.mainCoverWrapper {
position: relative;
min-width:312px;
background:red
}
I'm trying to center a div with min-width of 312px and make it expand according to its dynamic content while keeping it centered.
Right now the min-with doesn't work at all because it needs a float. I can't use a float because I need the div centered on the page.
In other words, div starts out with margin auto with a width of 312px and expands with its added content while being centered. Is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a working example of the parent to follow the width of the child, and the child will expand according to the text given in it.
.myCoverWrapper {
border: 1px solid Peru;
margin:auto;
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
background: red;
}
.test {
height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
background: cyan;
}
This makes the parent div follow the width of the kid.
This however, will disallow you to "center" it. There's no way you can have both. This is because you cant center an image without knowing the width of the element.
The solution is to use jQuery, to add CSS in when necessary.
Here's an example. There's some bugs, but well, you have the general idea.
If you want the width to be fluid, your best bet is to set display: inline-block; on the to-be-centered element, and text-align: center; to the parent element.
See: CSS center display inline block?
I need to create a dialog box using custom images created by a designer. For purposes of this discussion, this the correct answer for my application. The dialog box must be able to withstand changes in width and height. This is easy to do with a table, but I want to maintain a table-less design, so I figured that I could do this using 3 rows of DIV's. For example, float an image to the left, float an image to the right, and put a DIV in between then with the image set to the background so that text can be entered over it.
Here is demo of my failed attempt to do this: (just one row shown)
http://www.seaburydesign.com/rounded/demo.html
As you can see, this almost working. But the DIV in the middle is only the size of the content inside of it, even though I have set the height and width. I need to keep the width flexible.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Remove the following line:
display:inline;
Besides being useless in this case (the inline behavior is already working because of the floats) "inline" property doesn't allow you to set the element's width or height. For a clearer understanding, read w3c's article.
If you make the rounded corners of your images white instead of transparent, you can apply the background-image to the header-tag instead of the middle div. This will create the impression that the middle div has the same height as both images.
Update
If possible (depending on what browsers you need to support), you could do rounded corners with CSS3's border-radius property, instead of using images. That would be something like:
header {
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 10px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 10px;
border-top-left-radius: 10px;
border-top-right-radius: 10px;
}
You could also try this border-radius CSS-generator to find the properties that suit you best.
The css display: inline in your container div's voids any setting for width. Use display: block; float: left; margin: 0 XXpx; for your div (with XX being the width of the images on the sides).
Edit:
Concretely this would be:
div#yourdiv {
background-image: url("images/module_header_bg.jpg");
color: white;
display: block;
float: left;
font-weight: bold;
height: 42px;
width: auto;
}
and both img tags
img {
float: left;
}
This creates a dynamic sized box for your content, or you set width of the div to a specific value like width: 300px instead of width: auto.
I'm creating a div which has to have a close button in the upper right corner just like in the image
image http://rookery9.aviary.com.s3.amazonaws.com/4655000/4655386_f01b_150x250.jpg
The first image was made in photoshop. I'm trying to do the same but with CSS. "Fechar" is the close button (in Portuguese). What is the better way to properly position it without workarounds, with clean CSS and Web Standards?
Here is my code: http://jsfiddle.net/wZJnd/
This is as far as I could reach.
I would use absolute positioning inside a relatively positioned #header:
HTML
<div id="header">
<h1>Your Title</h1>
Close
</div>
CSS
#header {
width: 700px;
height: 200px;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
background: #000 url(the-logo.png) no-repeat 30px 10px;
}
#header .close {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
right: 20px;
}
This will cause the a.close link to use the #header as its coordinate system and position it 20px from the top and right edge.
In my experience padding, margins and float are more sensitive to rendering inconsistency and font size changes than positioning. As a result, I use position whenever possible.
You could do a :
img.close {
float:right;
margin:25px 25px 0 0;
}
I would work with div wrappers around the img
So you would have a div for your header "div.header" that would contain these div :
div.logo : The logo on the left containing an img tag;
div.title : The title of the page;
div.close : The close button that would contain your img tag.
I better like using the padding than the margin attribute. I think it works better for compatibility purposes.
