Working on an academic mock-up for a class. It's a simple reproduction of an existing company's webpage using only HTML and CSS. Everything was working perfectly in all browsers last week. I opened it yesterday to check it before submission and there's a problem.
In Chrome only, the last element of my navbar is being bumped straight down 19px.
The page. link
The css. link
The relevant css.
#navbar {
position:absolute;
display:block;
top: 115px;
left:0px;
width:100%;
height: 45px;
background:url(../images/navbar_section.png) repeat-x;
padding:0px;
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 2px 2px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.27);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 2px 2px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.27);
box-shadow: 0px 2px 2px rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.27);
}
#navmenu {
float:left;
left:50%;
position:relative;
width:964px;
}
#navmenu ul, li {
display: inline;
}
#navmenu li a {
font-size:1em;
float: left;
color: white;
font-weight:bold;
border-left:2px groove #008dcb;
text-decoration: none;
line-height:45px;
position:relative;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
right:50%;
padding-left:10px;
padding-right:10px;
width:138px;
}
#navmenu li a:hover {
color: white;
background:url(../images/navbar_visited.png);
}
#navmenu li:last-child a {
border-right:2px groove #008dcb;
}
The relevant html.
<div id="navbar">
<div id="navmenu">
<ul>
<li>SHOP</li>
<li>WHY ALLTEL</li>
<li>PLANS</li>
<li>APPS & MORE</li>
<li>CAREERS</li>
<li>EMPLOYEES</li>
</ul>
</div><!--end of navmenu-->
</div><!--end of navbar-->
I know it may be a bit confusing, if you look at the css file, to see navmenu and navmenu2, but just focus on navmenu, as the second is a different style that I haven't implemented.
I've tried removing the width elements with no change in the error.
I've tried copying the above code only into a fresh html document. Same error.
I'm at a complete loss. Please help!
Clear padding. This is post just so there's a listed, recognized solution to this question.
although my questions has been answered lots of times before, but all the proposed solution I have tried and nothing seems to work.
what am trying to do is a big div that contains li tags; the li tags will also contain anchor tag, 2 divs and p tag.
to understand the big picture.. am trying to make a posting wall (activity-board), the wall will have posts looks like a bubble (div post) and the bubble will point (post-arrow) to a thumbnail image (a thumb3), to make the bubble style I made the post div absolute positioned with z-index less than the arrow-post.
and here is my css:
.activity-board {
background:#fff;
width:600px;
min-height:652px;
height:auto;
border:solid 2px #e7d28d;
border-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius: 6px;
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 3px rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 0px 3px rgba(255, 255, 255, 1);
float:left;
margin-left:20px;
}
.post-body{
position:relative;
display:block;
list-style-type:none;
width:600px;
height:auto;
background:#f9f9f9;
border-bottom:1px solid #CBCBCB;
border-radius:4px 4px 0 0;
-moz-border-radius:4px 4px 0 0;
-webkit-border-radius:4px 4px 0 0;
background: #fff;
float:left;
overflow:visible;
clear:both;
z-index:9;
}
.post{
position:absolute;
width:500px;
line-height:20px;
height:auto;
background:#FFF;
display:block;
margin-top:22.5px;
margin-left:77px;
text-align:left;
float:left;
z-index:1;
}
.post-arrow{
position:relative;
margin-top:32px;
margin-left:6px;
width:12px;
height:18px;
background:url(images/post-arrow.png);
float:left;
z-index:5;
}
.post p{ color:#025373; padding:8px; word-wrap:break-word; }
a.thumb-3 {
margin-top:18px;
display:block;
margin-left:18px;
width:46px;
height:46px;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
float:left;
}
a.thumb-3 img{
padding:0;
margin:0 auto;
width:46px;
height:46px;
float:left;
border-radius:3px;
-moz-border-radius:3px;
-webkit-border-radius:3px;
}
here is my html:
<ul>
<li class="post-body">
<a class="thumb-3"><img src="images/Alsheikh Center (177).jpg" /></a>
<div class="post-arrow"></div>
<div class="post">
<p>
Hi there!
</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
http://jsfiddle.net/r9YpX/
Everything worked fine but the li tag does not expand to the content.. it only expands if I change the position of the post div to relative not absolute, which I cant change because it must be absolutely positioned under the arrow image to give it the bubble look.
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
ok Thanks guys i figuered it out.. I made position:relative and changed margin for post div and it worked! I thought I did this but perhaps I did something wrong that make it not work
I'm having problems because when i'm positioning text into a message, appears an empty space below.
This is the image:
http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/6513/lllmm.jpg
And this is the CSS code i'm using. I don't know where the mistake is.
.thumbnail2{
position:relative;
width:100%;
margin:0 auto;
}
.thumbnail2 img{
width:100%;
height:auto;
}
.thumbnail2 h1{
display:block;
position:relative;
top:-90px;
left: 0;
padding-left:5px;
background: rgb(0, 0, 0);
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
}
.thumbnail2 h1 span{
font-size:34px;
letter-spacing: -1px;
line-height:40px;
}
.thumbnail2 h1 a{
color:#FFF;
}
This is the HTML / PHP (i'm using it in Wordpress):
<div class="post">
<div class="thumbnail2">
<?php the_post_thumbnail('grandote'); ?>
<h1><span><?php the_title(); ?></span></h1>
</div>
<div class="excerpt2"><p><?php echo get_excerpt(280); ?></p></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
From what I've gathered what you want is to display the text on top of the thumbnail.
You should give .thumbnail2 position: relative and .thumbnail2 h1 position: absolute. This would do the trick, afterwards you'll just have to locate the h1 tag in the right place, this time when his position is relative to his parent div element.
Try adding a negative margin to your relatively positioned element:
.thumbnail2 h1{
display:block;
position:relative;
top:-90px;
left: 0;
padding-left:5px;
background: rgb(0, 0, 0);
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.7);
margin-bottom: -90px; // This should fix it
}
I'm making a website where there's a menu, but the problem is that menu always has opacity even when the option is not included, and when i hover over an option in it, i notice that the mouse can click on some element beneath this menu, i don't want this to happen so how to prevent this from happening ?
As you see those two rounded check marks still can be clicked even if the menu is open.
EDIT:
It turned out to be position:absolute; that causes this problem, i have no idea why is that. Actually i'm not even sure about that. Still waiting for an answer.
And turned out too that any element in the page that has position:absolute; behaves the same!
<div class="mainTaskWrapper clearfix">
<!-- All ID names are to be changed later on -->
<div class="mainMarker"></div>
<label for="task1">This is task1</label>
<!-- holder, checkButton and optTrigger are the underneath elements -->
<div class="holder"></div>
<div class="subTrigger"></div>
<div class="checkButton"></div>
<div class="optTrigger"></div>
<!-- the following is for the drop-down menu -->
<div class="mainOptions">
<ul>
<li id="mainInfo">Details</li>
<li id="mainDivide">Divide</li>
<li id="mainEdit">Edit</li>
<li id="mainDelete">Delete</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
And that's the styling of it :
//This is for the tick buttons underneath the drop-down menu
div.holder , div.checkButton, div.optTrigger {
display: inline-block;
opacity: 0.2;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
float:right;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-left:5px;
cursor: pointer;
}
div.checkButton {
background: url('../img/check_checked.png') no-repeat center;
}
div.checkButton:hover {
opacity: 1.0;
}
div.optTrigger {
background: url('../img/toggle_down_light.png') no-repeat center;
}
div.optTrigger:hover{
opacity: 1.0;
}
div.optTrigger.active{
opacity: 0.9;
border-radius: 5px 5px 0px 0px;
background: url('../img/toggle_down_light_opened.png') no-repeat center darkslategray;
}
div.holder {
opacity: 1.0;
background: url('../img/holder.png') no-repeat center;
cursor: move;
}
//The following is for the drop-down menu
.mainOptions {
display:inline-block;
position:absolute;
background : darkslategrey;
opacity: 1.0;
left : 626px;
top:25px;
border-radius: 5px 0px 5px 5px;
}
.mainOptions li {
color : lightgrey;
border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
padding:5px 15px;
font-size : 12px;
cursor:pointer;
}
.mainOptions li:hover {
background : grey;
}
.mainOptions li:last-of-type:hover{
border-radius: 0px 0px 5px 5px;
}
.mainOptions li:first-of-type:hover{
border-radius: 5px 0px 0px 0px;
}
.mainOptions li:last-of-type{
border:none;
}
I have an unordered list full or anchors. I have a CSS :Hover event that adds borders to it but all the anchors to the left slightly adjust when i hover because it is adding 1px to the width and auto adjusting. how do i make sure the positioning is absolute?
div a:visited, #homeheader a{
text-decoration:none;
color:black;
margin-right:5px;
}
div a:hover{
background-color:#D0DDF2;
border-radius:5px;
border:1px solid #102447;
}
div li{
padding:0;
margin:0px 10px;
display:inline;
font-size:1em;
}
<div>
<ul>
<li>this</li>
<li>that</li>
<li>this again</li>
<li>that again</li>
</ul>
</div>
I made a JS Fiddle demo here.
You can add a transparent border to the non-hover state to avoid the "jumpiness" when the border appears:
http://jsfiddle.net/TEUhM/3/
#homeheader a:visited, #homeheader a{
border:1px solid transparent;
}
You can also use outline, which won't affect the width i.e. so no "jump" effect. However,support for a rounded outline may be limited.
You could use a box shadow, rather than a border for this sort of functionality.
This works because your shadow doesn't 'take size in the DOM', and so won't affect the positioning, unlike that of a border.
Try using a declaration like
box-shadow:0 0 1px 1px #102447;
instead of your
border:1px solid #102447;
on your hover state.
Below is a quick demo of this in action:
DEMO
#homeheader a:visited,
#homeheader a {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
margin-right: 5px;
}
#homeheader a:hover {
background-color: #D0DDF2;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 0 1px #102447;
}
#homeheader li {
padding: 0;
margin: 0px 10px;
display: inline;
font-size: 1em;
}
<div id="homecontainer">
<div id="homeheader">
<ul>
<li>this
</li>
<li>that
</li>
<li>this again
</li>
<li>that again
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Add a margin of 1px and remove that margin on hover, so it is replaced by the border.

After taking a long time pressure i found a cool solution.
Hope that it will help others.
on the add the folloing code :
HTML
<div class="border-test">
<h2> title </h2>
<p> Technology founders churn rate niche market </p>
</div>
CSS
.border-test {
outline: 1px solid red;
border: 5px solid transparent;
}
.border-test:hover {
outline: 0px solid transparent;
border: 5px solid red;
}
Check live : Live Demo
Hope it will help.
No one has mentioned it here, but the best and simplest solution to this in my opinion is to use "box shadow" instead of borders. The magic is on the "inset" value which allows it be like a boarder.
box-shadow: inset 0 -3px 0 0 red;
You can offset the X or Y to change top/bottom and use -negative value for opposite sides.
.button {
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
padding: auto;
background-color: grey;
text-align: center;
}
.button:hover {
box-shadow: inset 0 -3px 0 0 red;
background-color: lightgrey;
}
<div class="button"> Button </div>
You can use box-shadow which does not change your box-size, unlike border.
Here is a little tutorial.
Just add the following code into your css file
#homeheader a {
border:1px solid transparent;
}
The CSS "box-sizing" attribute fixed this problem for me. If you give your element
.class-name {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Then the width of the border is added to the inside of the box when the browser calculates its width. This way when you turn the border style on and off, the size of the element doesn't change (which is what causes the jittering you observed).
This is a new technology, but the support for border-box is pretty consistent. Here is a demo!
The easiest method I found was using 'outline' instead of 'border'.
#home:hover{
outline:1px solid white;
}
instead of
#home:hover{
border:1px solid white;
}
Works the best!

Add a negative margin on hover to compensate:
#homeheader a:hover{
border: 1px solid #102447;
margin: -1px;
}
updated fiddle
In the fiddle the margin: -1px; is a little more complex because there was a margin-right getting overridden, but it's still just a matter of subtracting the newly-occupied space.
I too was facing the same problem. The fix mentioned by Wesley Murch works! i.e. adding a transparent border around the element to be hovered.
I had a ul on which :hover was added to every li. Every time, I hovered on each list item, the elements contained inside li too moved.
Here is the relevant code:
html
<ul>
<li class="connectionsListItem" id="connectionsListItem-0">
<div class="listItemContentDiv" id="listItemContentDiv-0">
<span class="connectionIconSpan"></span>
<div class="connectListAnchorDiv">
Test1
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
css
.listItemContentDiv
{
display: inline-block;
padding: 8px;
right: 0;
text-align: left;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: 0;
}
.connectionIconSpan
{
background-image: url("../images/connection4.png");
background-position: 100% 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
cursor: pointer;
padding-right: 0;
background-color: transparent;
border: medium none;
clear: both;
float: left;
height: 32px;
width: 32px;
}
.connectListAnchorDiv
{
float: right;
margin-top: 4px;
}
The hover defn on each list item:
.connectionsListItem:hover
{
background-color: #F0F0F0;
background-image: linear-gradient(#E7E7E7, #E7E7E7 38%, #D7D7D7);
box-shadow: none;
text-shadow: none;
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
border-color: #AAAAAA;
border-style: solid;
}
The above code used to make the containing elements shift, whenever I hovered over connectionsListItem. The fix was this added to the css as:
.connectionsListItem
{
border:1px solid transparent;
}
Use :before to create the border, that way it won't modify the actual content and gives you more freedom. Check it out here:
http://codepen.io/jorgenrique/pen/JGqOMb
<div class='border'>Border</div>
<div class='before'>Before</div>
div{
width:300px;
height:100px;
text-align:center;
margin:1rem;
position:relative;
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
align-items: center;
background-color:#eee;
}
.border{
border-left:10px solid deepPink;
}
.before{
&:before{
content:"";
position:absolute;
background-color:deepPink;
width:10px;
height:100%;
left:0;
top:0;
}
&:hover{
background-color:#ccc;
&:before{
width:0px;
transition:0.2s;
}
}
}
Be careful if you also use padding.
In my case, I had a 5px padding inside the hover defn. It should be moved inside the actual class of the element you want to hover over.
