Adding a newline in css - css

I'm looking for the simplest way to break up a collection of inline-blocked divs without resorting to extra markup (such as br).
I started off naively thinking that the following would do the trick except that 'four' ends up on a line of its own as well which I don't really understand.
.inline {
display:inline-block;
}
.newline {
display:block;
}
<div class="inline">one</div>
<div class="inline">two</div>
<div class="inline newline">three</div>
<div class="inline">four</div>
I have tried solutions using :after/:before found here on Stackoverflow but these only work for me if my elements are inline instead of inline-block.
Regrettably I also need to support IE6!
Attempt with floats
This example below does not display properly in IE 6
.inline {
float: left;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #F00;
}
.newline {
clear: left;
}
<div class="inline">one</div>
<div class="inline">two</div>
<div class="inline newline">three</div>
<div class="inline">four</div>
The result in IE 6

For IE6 and other old browsers you need to add a clear line for example using this code:
<div class="inline">one</div>
<div class="inline">two</div>
<div class="visualClear"></div>
<div class="inline">three</div>
<div class="inline">four</div>
.inline {
float: left;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #F00;
}
.visualClear {
clear: both;
display: block;
}
I know that it isnĀ“t very pretty but it will work for you.

nth-last-child or last-child not working [duplicate]

I want to select the first and the last child with CSS but it does not work. Please take a look at my Fiddle and help me:
.area {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
.area:first-child {
background-color: red;
}
.area:last-child {
background-color: green;
}
<div class="area">1</div>
<div class="area">2</div>
<div class="area">3</div>
<div class="area">4</div>
https://jsfiddle.net/rbw8dpsb/1/
I advise you to add a container as in your code they are childs of body BUT you don't know the last-child or the first-child of body as you may have other elements like script tags or other tags dynamically added (like in the snippet here or with jsfiddle or any other online coding tools).
.area {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
.area:first-child {
background-color: red;
}
.area:last-child {
background-color: green;
}
<div>
<div class="area">1</div>
<div class="area">2</div>
<div class="area">3</div>
<div class="area">4</div>
</div>
Here is a screenshot to show what is inside your body when you run the snippet:
As you may clearly notice, there is a div added at the end which is the last-child of the body. Adding a container will avoid you dealing with random settings and hidden elements added.
If you don't want to let all that divs in another structure you should use first-of-type and last-of-type instead of first-child and last-child
.area {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
}
.area:first-of-type {
background-color: red;
}
.area:last-of-type {
background-color: green;
}
<div class="area">1</div>
<div class="area">2</div>
<div class="area">3</div>
<div class="area">4</div>
As Temani Afif pointed, this solution is arbitrary and may not work in all the situations. As shown, it is not properly working on the code snippet but it does on JSFiddle for example. I.E. https://jsfiddle.net/vm1scerv/

BEM naming and positioning

I'm new to BEM and i'm trying to implement this:
.details-header {
margin-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 0;
display: block;
&__heading-panel {
margin-top: 10px;
}
&__heading {
display: inline-block;
}
}
Defining the same margin-top inside details-header__heading-panel is wrong, i know, but because there is element between details-header and details-header__heading-panel, i need this margin, how do i solve this, and also keep the code DRY?
EDIT: Here is the html:
<div class="details-header">
<div>Something</div>
<div class="details-header__heading-panel">
<h1 class="details-header__heading">
<span>something</span>
</h1>
<a>
Link
</a>
</div>
</div>
I need margin between that div between details-header and details-header__heading-panel
There's nothing wrong with defining the same margin-top inside details-header and details-header__heading-panel. Just keep going with your original code.
It's not copy-paste but just coincidence.

Pinterest image button getting in the way of my :hover css

I have some pseudo code like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="hiddenatfirst">
<img>
<img>
<img>
</div>
</div>
and css like so:
.hiddenatfirst{
display:none;
}
.container:hover .hiddenatfirst{
display:block;
}
.hiddenatfirst:hover{
display:block;
}
The problem is - I have a design website and a lot of visitors have the pinterst extension installed. When someone hovers over the pin-it button that gets added to the images inside the .hiddenatfirst div the div gets hidden again.
I don't want to remove the pin-it buttons from the images but I don't want them to get in the way of the :hover events.
Any ideas?
Apologies for the pseudo-code, the real code is pretty messy and in staging! Hopefully this explains what I need.
Thanks
PS - if you look at the .third-level-menu in the navigation here you'll see it in action (note you'll need the pinterest chrome extension installed)

PPS - this is a crappy GIF but I think shows what's happening too:
http://recordit.co/anNtu8W1Vo
PPPS - you can see the pin-it button that pinterest adds to each image in this image: https://twitter.com/tomcritchlow/status/573920066124836864/photo/1
Most probably the problem is that 'Pin it' button is absolutely positioned on top of the image, but it's not the container's child, so hover on it hides the image like on the following sample:
.container {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 315px;
background-color: gray;
}
.hiddenatfirst {
display: none;
}
#pinit {
position: absolute;
top: 32px;
left: 32px;
}
.container:hover .hiddenatfirst {
display: block;
}
.hiddenatfirst:hover {
display: block;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="hiddenatfirst">
<img src='https://dq1eylutsoz4u.cloudfront.net/2014/10/sf-cat.jpg' />
</div>
</div>
<img id='pinit' src='http://www.brandaiddesignco.com/insights/PinIt.png' />
What you can do is using JavaScript or jQuery find all the 'Pin it' buttons and move them to the appropriate containers with the positions recalculation, so the result HTML will be like the following:
.container {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height: 315px;
background-color: gray;
}
.hiddenatfirst {
display: none;
}
#pinit {
position: absolute;
top: 32px;
left: 32px;
}
.container:hover .hiddenatfirst {
display: block;
}
.hiddenatfirst:hover {
display: block;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="hiddenatfirst">
<img src='https://dq1eylutsoz4u.cloudfront.net/2014/10/sf-cat.jpg' />
<img id='pinit' src='http://www.brandaiddesignco.com/insights/PinIt.png' />
</div>
</div>
Rather than use the javascript solution above, since these images are small and in the navigation I found a way to remove the pin-it button, simply add to each image:
nopin="nopin"
As per the documentation here:
https://developers.pinterest.com/on_hover_pin_it_buttons/

Get rid of space between divs - CSS

I have the following HTML code where the subnav div is a collection of div tags that will act as tabs across the featuredexhibit div. Problem is that there is a white space adding between the top of the featureexhibit div and bottom of the subnav tab.
HTML:
<div id="subnav">
<div id="subnavtab">Plan Your Visit</div>
<div id="subnavtab">Tour the Museum</div>
<div id="subnavtab">Program & Events</div>
<div id="subnavtab">Membership</div>
<div id="subnavtab">Donate</div>
</div>
<div id="featuredexhibit">
Featured Exhibit - this can be a rotating menu of exhibits
</div>
CSS:
#subnav { margin-top: 20px; width: 740px; display: inline-block; }
#featuredexhibit { width: 732px; height: 200px; background-color: #A7A9AC; margin: 0; }
#subnavtab { background-color: #A1CD3A; float: left; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; margin: 0 5px 0 0; display: inline-block; }
I have tried using the Chrome Developer Tools to find the issue but I do not have any luck or I do not know what to look for.
There doesn't seem to be any problem with your code.
Are you sure no other CSS is conflicting? Make sure the CSS tags you are using are from the last CSS added in the HTML.
For example,
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css-1.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css-2.css">
If there are common tags in "css-2.css", then it will over ride any similar tags of "css-1.css"
You should give a float to the subnav and then clear the featuredexhibit and then only it couldn't save a space between them.
#subnav{float: left;}
#featuredexhibit{clear: both;}
See this Demo
I'm honestly not sure why the white space is there, but I got it fixed in Chrome by removing the inline-block and creating a clear both.
CSS
.subnav { margin-top: 20px; width: 740px; }
.featuredexhibit { width: 732px; height: 200px; background-color: #A7A9AC; margin: 0; }
.subnavtab { background-color: #A1CD3A; float: left; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; margin: 0 5px 0 0; }
.clear { clear: both; }
HTML
<div class="subnav">
<div class="subnavtab">Plan Your Visit</div>
<div class="subnavtab">Tour the Museum</div>
<div class="subnavtab">Program & Events</div>
<div class="subnavtab">Membership</div>
<div class="subnavtab">Donate</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<div class="featuredexhibit">
Featured Exhibit - this can be a rotating menu of exhibits
</div>
jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/vFFx5/
I know this is old, but since I just ran into this issue I might as well point future visitors to this article: https://css-tricks.com/fighting-the-space-between-inline-block-elements/
The problem seems to be that a new line counts as white space character in a row of inline-block elements. To solve this use floated blocks or flexbox.

layout fields using CSS

I'm trying to layout field labels and values like this:
Name: Bob
Age: 25
Occupation: Code Monkey
The relevant HTML is
<div class="field">
<span class="reset">End Time:</span>
<span>05:00pm</span>
</div>
<div class="field">
<span class="reset">Items:</span>
<span></span>
</div>
<div class="field">
<span class="reset">Repeats:</span>
<span>Never</span>
</div>
And the relevant CSS is:
div.field {
margin-bottom:10px;
}
span.reset {
display: block;
float: left;
margin-right: 0.5em;
text-align: right;
}
Unfortunately, the "Repeats" field is being shown on the same line as the "Items" field. I verified that this only happens when the value of the "Items" field is empty <span></span>.
I tried added clear: left to span.reset, and while this stops two fields appearing on the same line, it totally messes up the alignment of the labels and fields.
Is there any way I can fix this problem without drastically changing the XHTML?
Thanks,
Don
Add this to your CSS clear: left;:
div.field {
clear:left;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
This will force it to the next line below.
If you want all these to line up you're going to have to give the label (reset?) a fixed width either directly or indirectly. Try this:
div.field { overflow: hidden; }
div.field span { margin-left: 150px; display: block; }
span.reset { float: right; width: 150px; margin-left: 0; text-align: right; }
