Here is a Plunker I just created: http://plnkr.co/edit/jKo6yavo9fFNHiMsEvAL?p=preview
It is a simple single row layout. What I need is a fixed minimum margin on both sides (left and right) of the row. Let's say 25px. Resizing the window should always show at meast 25px of grey background before and after the row.
I tried modifying the table.container style from:
table.container {
width: 580px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: inherit;
}
to
table.container {
width: 580px;
margin: 0 25px 0 25px;
text-align: inherit;
}
But it seems it does not work for the right margin (goes out of the page). Any suggestion?
I think the simplest solution would be to use the left and right table borders instead of margin.
Something like the CSS below should do the trick.
table.container {
width: 580px;
border-left: solid 25px #f1f0ef !important;
border-right: solid 25px #f1f0ef !important;
text-align: inherit;
}
Since not all email clients support margin your other option would be to add padding/border to an outer table/tables.
If you have any questions let me know.

I'm working on the unbounce landing page platform. Overall, it's really awesome and makes A/B testing pretty easy. It's more or less just drag and drop, but you're able to add css, html, javascript, etc.
Anyway, I'm working on creating a fixed signup area on the bottom of the screen (should boost conversions), but I'm having some troubles. The signup box is created within the wysiwyg dashboard, and from what I see it just builds the CSS for you, as you move sliders, change colors and such.
I'm able to make the entire signup area float right to the bottom, but I can't get the signup box to stay centered. I can use margins and positioning, but not the align: center function.
I've tried doing margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto as well as text-align: center; but it does absolutely nothing!
When changing the size of the screen, it just will not stay centered. But here's the kicker; the text has no problem centering with just width: 100%.. The signup box doesn't seem to respect any wrapper and I'm thinking this might be the problem.
This is all the CSS I'm using to create this fixed section:
#lp-pom-box-214 {
top: auto !important;
display:block;
position:fixed;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
bottom:0px;
width: 100%;
align: center;
}
#lp-pom-form-51 {
top: auto !important;
display:block;
width: 100%;
position:fixed;
bottom: 25px;
margin-left: 26%;
}
#lp-pom-text-211 {
top: auto !important;
display:block;
position:fixed;
bottom:75px;
width: 100%;
}
Thanks a TON in advance!! This client is really good to me, so I want to do a good job for them. I'm not a great coder, but I'm very good at marketing so feel free to give me a shout if you need help in that arena :) That's the best way I know how to give back to whoever helps me out (or anyone else in the community for that matter).
Thanks again.
You can't adjust the position of a fixed positioned element in this way.
A fixed position element is positioned relative to the viewport, or the browser window. The viewport doesn't change when the window is scrolled, so a fixed positioned element will do exactly as the name implies and remain fixed in it's assigned position. To position a fixed element you use the properties top, right, bottom, and left
If you want to keep it as a fixed positioned element you can vertically and horizontally center it on the page by setting top and left to 50% so as the left-top corner of the container is centered within the page, you can then use margin-top and margin-left with negative values to compensate for half of the width and height of the element to achieve true center within the center of your container.
Something like this?
if yes check this code

position:fixed;

I am having trouble with the alignment of a span contained within a button tag.
I have already done something like this before and it worked. In fact, it's the same css but different sizes.
The problem is that the containing span seems to be aligning to the right.
CSS:
#closePreviewBtn {
position: absolute;
height: 24px;
width: 24px;
right: 0;
background: #B9DEFD;
border-top: solid 1px #333333;
border-left: solid 1px#333333;
border-right: solid 1px #333333;
border-bottom: solid 1px #333333;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#closePreviewBtn .close {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: url(../imagenes/close.png) no-repeat center;
padding: 0;
/*right: 2px;
bottom: 1px;*/ //This fixes the problem but it's manual
}
HTML:
<html>
<body>
<button id="closePreviewBtn" name="closePreviewBtn"><span class="close"></span></button>
</body>
</html>
Thanks a lot!
Simple fix - seems like the button has a padding by default. Just set it to 0:
#closePreviewBtn {
padding: 0;
}
Now you can position however you want - maybe adding a margin to the span if you want to move it around.
Hope that helps you,
In your #closePreviewBtn rule, remove the right:0;. Setting the position to absolute and right to zero will take the element out of the document flow and position it as far to the right as possible.
jsFiddle example
I noticed that the button still has some padding after resizing it to 10px. I found no way to set that space off.
The solution i've foud to center it was removing the button height and width, because it will expand to wrap the span and it will be centered.
For some weird thing, it works for small buttons. But for bigger buttons like 30px x 50px it will just be fine to set height and width, or at least the padding is very very hard to notice if there's some.
I just stumbled on a problem where the shared border between a menu bar and the main content box does not go on properly (as the content box is too small)
Image: http://imgur.com/O3ra9
Code: http://jsfiddle.net/gh55e/2/
So I was wondering if there was a way to fix the border. Maybe by giving them both one and making it overlap? Just have no idea how to do this as margin -x doesn't work.
Give the right element a border all around, then use the margin-top and margin-left properties in the negatives to make them overlap. Here's an updated jsfiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/gh55e/4/
CSS:
#right {
width: 85px;
float: right;
background-color: #e1e1e1;
padding: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
margin-top: -54px;
}
For later visitors, this is the CSS that eventually fixed it.
#right {
width: 385px;
float: right;
background-color: #e1e1e1;
padding: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
margin-left: -10px;
}
You basically make a margin of 10px and move it back for 10 px
Trying to add a box around a menu of links in Wordpress. So far I've got this - which should make a box of 150px x 50px if I am correct. However, while margin, padding, etc, all work, this does not. Why would that be the case? Has width become deprecated in recent CSS?
.menu-header .menu-item {
display: inline !important;
margin: 0px 50px !important;
border-style: solid !important;
border-width: 2px !important;
width: 150px !important;
height: 50px !important;
background-color: #EDEDED !important;
}
Remove display: inline - that will cause problems with setting a size. The element needs to be block level to specify the size.
Also, the CSS can be simplified:
.menu-header .menu-item{
margin: 0 50px;
border: 2px solid #000;
width: 150px;
height: 50px;
background: #EDEDED;
}
display:inline and width 150px collide with each other.
An inline element has at every time the width of it's content.
You could set the display to inline-block when you really need it inline or else to block.
My css looks like this
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
div#header {
background-color: #969696;
height: 80px;
}
div#mid-bar {
background: url(images/home.jpg) left no-repeat #6f6565;
height: 200px;
}
#searchbox {
background-color: #c1c1c1;
width: 200px;
height: 180px;
margin: 10px 20px 10px 350px;
}
and my html
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="mid-bar">
<div id="searchbox">
</div>
</div>
you can see the problem. the space between header and mid-bar which is created due to the margin given in the searchbox div.
i want this margin for searchbox within the mid-bar div... and not from header div.
I's a known bug: would use padding instead of margin. so:
div#mid-bar {
background: url(images/home.jpg) left no-repeat #6f6565;
height: 200px;
padding-top: 10px;
}
#searchbox {
background-color: #c1c1c1;
width: 200px;
height: 180px;
margin: 0px 20px 10px 350px;
}
Give padding to #mid-bar instead of searchbox margin
I have seen this happen when you don't give margins to parents and the first element, even a child that you give margin to, causes gaps in the parents by creating margins. One way I've overcome this is by using paddings on the parent containers instead of margins.
See your example here with paddings: http://jsbin.com/ememi3
If you are intent on using margins, try setting margin:0; in #mid-bar. Otherwise give #mid-bar a padding-top:10px; and remove top margin from #searchbox.
Everyone seems to agree on this one, padding will work much better then margins will. I looked into it a little and it seems Pixeline is right, it's a known bug in Firefox, hopefully they will fix it in 4.
