Last nav button doesn't fill its respective space - css

I have 3 nav buttons at the top of a page. I set their width to 33% but noticed that the last one didn't fill all the space that it was supposed to, so I set it's width to 34% but it still didn't fix the issue.
If you go to http://shacktown.com and hover over Contact you will see that the right-most area of the button does not turn a lighter gray, and I also noticed that the border-radius attribute doesn't apply itself either.
The 3 .nav items are located inside of a #header item. Here is the respective CSS:
#banner, #header, #content {
margin: 2.5% 15% 2.5% 15%;
}
#header, #content {
border-radius: 0.375em;
background-image: url('http://shacktown.com/engine/img/trans.png');
}
.nav {
height: 2em;
padding-top: 1.0em;
text-align: center;
color: #000000;
font-size: 1.2em;
float: left;
width: 33%;
cursor: pointer;
border-left: 0.1em solid #333333;
}
.nav:hover, .navSelected {
background-image: url('http://shacktown.com/engine/img/trans.png');
}
.navSelected {
cursor: default;
}
.nav:first-of-type {
border-radius: 0.375em 0 0 0.375em;
border-left: none;
}
.nav:last-of-type {
border-radius: 0 0.375em 0.375em 0;
width: 34%;
}
Any idea why it isn't filling up the whole space?

:last-of-type or :first-of-type css selectors are not meant to be working like this. In your case, this selectors will select the last "div" or first "div" in their parents.
So remove this line from html:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
and change width of the class nav to %33.3
these will do the trick.

Change the rule for .nav to following:
.nav {
height: 2em;
padding: 1em 0 2.5em 0;
text-align: center;
color: #000;
font-size: 1.2em;
float: left;
cursor: pointer;
border-left: 0.1em solid #565656;
width: 33.33%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
And add a new rule:
.nav:last-of-type:hover {
border-top-right-radius: 5px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
}
Remove the whitespace in your markup:
And this is the result you'll get.

there is no selector with only class only
CSS: How to say .class:last-of-type [classes, not elements!]
so you can do
set .nav as display:inline-block and remove clear div so that they are inline
here is the demo
.cont {
font-size: 0px; /* is added to remove whitespace from inline-block */
}
.cont div {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
}
.cont div:first-of-type,
.float div.test:first-of-type {
background: red;
}
.cont div:last-of-type,
.float div.test:last-of-type {
background: red;
}
.float .test {
float: left;
}
.float .clear {
clear: both;
}
<p>used inline-block instead of float</p>
<div class="cont">
<div>test</div>
<div>test</div>
<div>test</div>
<div>test</div>
</div>
<p>with class and used float</p>
<div class="float">
<div class="test">test</div>
<div class="test">test</div>
<div class="test">test</div>
<div class="test">test</div>
<div class="clear"></div>

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>

<img class="Section__item__image" width="120" height="120">

css <hr class="divider"> responsive

Problem is about , it works great on desktop but on mobile fails....
[http://jsfiddle.net/9vv914uL/][1]
i want to make this divider responsive... because it is working very well on higher resolutions , as you can see....
and bonus is to make words inside tag in different colors...
this is css stylesheet:
.divider {
text-align:center;
font-family: 'montserrat';
}
.divider hr {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:40%;
}
.left {
float:left;
}
.right {
float:right;
}
this is
<div style="padding-top:10px; padding-bottom:20px;"class="divider">
<hr class="left" style="margin-top:12px;"/>BLUE RED<hr class="right" style="margin-top:12px;"/>
</div>
I dont know what to say about this problem, this is just plain text. I must go back to the stars <3
:)
There are other ways that this can be handled that would work better for what you are trying to do. In my example, I am using both a heading element and an empty div. The text in the heading element can be expanded as much as you would like without needing to worry about available space, and the solution is responsive out of the box.
HTML
<h3 class="divider">
<span>Title</span>

I'd probably do it like this rather than messing with floats:
.divider {
text-align: center;
}
.divider:after {
content: "";
height: 1px;
background: #000;
display: block;
position: relative;
top: -8px; /* this value depends on the font size */
}
.divider > span {
background: #fff;
padding: 0 10px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
<div class="divider"><span>BLUE RED</span></div>
HTML:
<div style="padding-top:10px; padding-bottom:20px;"class="divider">
<hr class="left" style="margin-top:12px;"/>
<div class="title">BLUE RED</div>
</div>
CSS:
.divider {
text-align:center;
font-family: 'montserrat';
position:relative;
height: 68px;
}
.div hr {
width:100%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 888;
}
.title {

Create line after text with css

Im trying to make a line after each of my h2 tags. I canĀ“t figure out how I should tell the width, cause the lenght of the h2 headlines is differ from h2 to h2.
I use the :after method to create lines
h2:after {
position: absolute;
content: "";
height: 2px;
background-color: #242424;
width: 50%;
margin-left: 15px;
top: 50%;
}
Check code here: http://jsfiddle.net/s9gHf/
As you can see the line get too wide, and make the website too wide.
You could achieve this with an extra <span>:
h2 {
font-size: 1rem;
position: relative;
}
h2 span {
background-color: white;
padding-right: 10px;
}
h2:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 0.5em;
border-top: 1px solid black;
z-index: -1;
}
<h2><span>Featured products</span></h2>
<h2><span>Here is a very long h2, and as you can see the line get too wide</span></h2>
Another solution without the extra <span> but requires an overflow: hidden on the <h2>:
h2 {
font-size: 1rem;
overflow: hidden;
}
h2:after {
content: "";
display: inline-block;
height: 0.5em;
vertical-align: bottom;
width: 100%;
margin-right: -100%;
margin-left: 10px;
border-top: 1px solid black;
}
<h2><span>Featured products</span></h2>
<h2><span>Here is a very long h2, and as you can see the line get too wide</span></h2>
External examples: First, Second
There's no need for extra wrappers or span elements anymore. Flexbox and Grid can handle this easily.
h2 {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
h2::after {
content: '';
flex: 1;
margin-left: 1rem;
height: 1px;
background-color: #000;
}
<h2>Heading</h2>
using flexbox:
h2 {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
h2 span {
content: "";
flex: 1 1 auto;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
<h2>Title <span></span></h2>
Here is another, in my opinion even simpler solution using a flex wrapper:
.wrapper {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.line {
border-top: 1px solid grey;
flex-grow: 1;
margin: 0 10px;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<p>Text</p>
<div class="line"></div>
</div>
External link
I notice that there are some flexbox implementations but they don't explain why and how to use it.
First, we just need one element, for this example h2.
We will change the element's display behavior to display: flex
Then, we center vertically its child elements using align-items: center.
h2 {
...
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
Then, let's draw the line using the pseudo-element after.
We add '' to the content property to draw the element (we must).
Now lets make it flexible using flex: auto. This means that our element is sized according to its width and height properties. It grows to absorb any extra free space in the flex container, and shrinks to its minimum size to fit the container. This is equivalent to setting flex: 1 1 auto.
Then we add an small gap between the text and the line using margin-left: 1rem.
Finally, we draw a black line using border-top: 1px solid #000.
h2::after {
content: '';
flex: auto;
margin-left: 1rem;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
Here is functional snippet.
h2 {
font-size: 1em; /* not needed */
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
h2::after {
content: '';
flex: auto;
margin-left: 1rem;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
<h2>Normal title</h2>
<h2>Very long title to test the behavior of the element when the content is wider</h2>
This is the most easy way I found to achieve the result: Just use hr tag before the text, and set the margin top for text. Very short and easy to understand! jsfiddle
h2 {
background-color: #ffffff;
margin-top: -22px;
width: 25%;
}
hr {
border: 1px solid #e9a216;
}
<br>
<hr>
<h2>ABOUT US</h2>
Here is how I do this:
http://jsfiddle.net/Zz7Wq/2/
I use a background instead of after and use my H1 or H2 to cover the background. Not quite your method above but does work well for me.
CSS
.title-box { background: #fff url('images/bar-orange.jpg') repeat-x left; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 20px;}
.title-box h1 { color: #000; background-color: #fff; display: inline; padding: 0 50px 0 50px; }
HTML
<div class="title-box"><h1>Title can go here</h1></div>
<div class="title-box"><h1>Title can go here this one is really really long</h1></div>
I am not experienced at all so feel free to correct things. However, I tried all these answers, but always had a problem in some screen.
So I tried the following that worked for me and looks as I want it in almost all screens with the exception of mobile.
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="Section-Title">
<div id="h2"> YOUR TITLE
<div id="line"><hr></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper{
background:#fff;
max-width:100%;
margin:20px auto;
padding:50px 5%;}
#Section-Title{
margin: 2% auto;
width:98%;
overflow: hidden;}
#h2{
float:left;
width:100%;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:1.5vw;}
#h2 #line {
display:inline-block;
float:right;
margin:auto;
margin-left:10px;
width:90%;
position:absolute;
top:-5%;}
#Section-Title:after{content:""; display:block; clear:both; }
.wrapper:after{content:""; display:block; clear:both; }

Css divs layout issue

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.

how to position these CSS elements without defining height and width

I am trying to create a little graphical box for a time element on a website. What I would like to have is something like this:
I have this HTML:
<div class="entry-meta">
<time class="entry-date" datetime="2011-09-16T09:59:48+00:00" pubdate="">
<span class="date-day">16</span>
<span class="date-month">Sep</span>
<span class="date-year">2011</span>
</time>
</div>
And this CSS so far:
.entry-meta {
display: block;
color: white;
float: left;
background: #aaa;
}
.date-day {
display: block;
font-size: 30px;
background: #444;
float: left;
}
.date-month {
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
background: #666;
float: left;
}
.date-year {
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
background: #888;
float:left;
}
My problem is that I cannot achieve two things:
To align the text to the corners of the box and forget about the baseline. I would like to align 16 to the top left corner and cut it's box at the bottom right corner. I am looking for eliminating all the spacing pixels.
To move the year under the month, without specifying exact width and height properties. If I delete float: left then it goes under the day. What I would like to have is to move it right of the day and under the month. Do I need to create an other div or spand for the month + year?
Also, it seems that it doesn't matter if I remove display: block from the span CSS-es why is it?
Here is a jsFiddle I created:
http://jsfiddle.net/ESbqY/3/
An update one based on Kolink's suggestion:
http://jsfiddle.net/ESbqY/5/
Fully customizable:
http://jsfiddle.net/5MMc9/8/
html:
<div class="entry-meta">
<time class="entry-date" datetime="2011-09-16T09:59:48+00:00" pubdate="">
<div class="date-day">16</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="date-month">Sep</div>
<div class="date-year">2011</div>
</div>
</time>
</div>
css:
.entry-meta {position: relative; font-family: Trebuchet MS;}
.container {float: left;}
.date-day {font-size: 70px; line-height: 55px; float: left; background: #fa7d7d;}
.date-month {font-size: 25px; line-height: 25px; background: #627cc6; padding: 0 0 5px 0;}
.date-year {font-size: 25px; line-height: 25px; background: #3ce320;}
Furthermore, you can add display: inline-block; to the month css if you want the div to be same width as text inside.
The following:
<span style="font-size: 2em;">16</span><span style="display: inline-block;">Sep<br />2011</span>
Will produce, more or less exactly, the result shown in the image.
This seems to work as required:
time span {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
margin-left: 2.5em;
}
time span.date-day {
float: left;
position: absolute;
font-size: 2em;
margin: 0;
}
.entry-meta {
border: 2px solid #ccc;
display: block;
float: left;
position: relative;
}

Edited to amend/use the colours from the question, and to remove the (possibly unwanted) margin between the date-day and the other span elements:
time span {
display: block;
font-size: 1em;
margin-left: 2em;
}
time span.date-day {
float: left;
position: absolute;
font-size: 2em;
margin: 0;
background-color: #444;
}
time span.date-month {
background-color: #666;
}
time span.date-year {
background-color: #888;
}
.entry-meta {
border: 2px solid #ccc;
display: block;
float: left;
position: relative;
background-color: #ccc;
}
