Basically what I'm trying to do is move this caret up and I wouldn't even know where to start, so here's a picture of what I'm trying to move up. (the caret is the little down arrow just in case you didn't know).
Sorry about the title of this question, it's not very clear but I didn't know what else to call it...
Here's the CSS for the caret in bootstrap
.caret {
display: inline-block;
width: 0;
height: 0;
margin-left: 2px;
vertical-align: middle;
border-top: 4px solid;
border-right: 4px solid transparent;
border-left: 4px solid transparent;
}
I changed the the vertical align which is seen in the code. Instead of
vertical-align: middle;
I used
vertical-align: super;
which raised it up to the height of the text.

I've got a selection part where I have multiple font Awesome icons and the selected one has a bar underneath it.
That goes alright as long as I only have 1 row of icons. When I have multiple rows the "selected bar" is not visible anymore as the icon underneath is hiding it.
I'm not very strong in css and tried all the padding and margins I could think of but without much success. In the attached jsfiddle you can see the selector for the last two icons, but not for the first one.
What should I add to the css below so that I can have multiple rows of icons and still see the selector bar?
.icon-picker {
border: 0px solid #000000;
margin-right: 5px;
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
padding-bottom: 4px;
}
.selected {
border-left: 0px;
border-right: 0px;
border-top: 0px;
border-bottom: 2px solid #000000;
}
.icon-container {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-left: 15px;
max-width: 300px;
}
Thanks for your time.

You need to make the <i> tag a block element for the width and height to be applied to the element.
See fiddle
.icon-picker {
border: 0px solid #000000;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 5px;
width: 24px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
I have a fixed header on my site that I'm working on. So the content of my page flows under the header and the header stays fixed at the top of the page. I can't use the border-radius function in css to create my rounded corners that I want because the page content background color shows on the outside of my rounded corners. So I have implemented two rounded corner images, one for the left and one for the right. My problem is, the images move a total of 1px when I zoom. No matter how much I zoom, it only moves a total of 1px and for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out the problem. I'm going to post a link to my site and maybe somebody can go through the html and css and try to figure this out. I also put a link to download my VB project to look at in Visual Studio. Any help would be appreciated thanks a lot.

#header {
background-color: #ddd;
height: 125px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -480px;
position: fixed;
width: 960px;
}
#header-top {
background-color: #fff;
border-left: 1px solid #aaa;
border-radius: 25px 25px 0 0;
border-right: 1px solid #aaa;
border-top: 1px solid #aaa;
height: 85px;
width: 958px;
}
#nav-wrapper {
background-color: #fff;
border-left: 1px solid #aaa;
border-right: 1px solid #aaa;
width: 958px;
}
#nav {
background-color: Orange;
border-radius: 15px 15px 0 0;
height: 40px;
margin: 0 1px;
width: 956px;
}
#topleftcorner,#toprightcorner,#nav-corner-left,#nav-corner-right{display:none;}
The basic idea is that I put a #ddd color on #header (the page background color). I then use border-radius on #header-top to round the corners. I also apply a white background to #nav-wrapper. Then I just fix up the borders, and remove the unnecessary images.
As for your 1px off problem, it's a rounding error. I removed left:0;right:0 from #header and replaced it with left:50%;margin-left: -480px so that it doesn't happen.
I am new to the Vaadin framework.I'm now trying to learn it by rebuilding the demo on their front page of Quciktickets dashboard using the Eclipse vaadin plug-in. Now I'm using css in my Theme to configure the sidebar part of that page.
My problem is after I add the buttons in the sidebar, they seems to be too far away from each other. So how can I fix it? I've tried to use padding, but that will only change the size of the button block while I wanna change the spacing between the blocks. Thx for anyone paying attention or giving hints for such a noob question.
code define the nativebutton layout:
.sidebar .sidemenu .v-nativebutton {
-webkit-appearance: none;
display: block;
padding: 10px 14px 10px;
width: 100%;
border: none;
margin: 0;
/*position: relative;*/
border-top: 1px solid #4b4c4d;
border-top-color: rgba(255,255,255,.05);
border-bottom: 1px solid #353637;
border-bottom-color: rgba(0,0,0,.18);
background:transparent;
color: #888a8c;
font-weight: normal;
text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.5);
text-align:center;
}
This is more of a curiosity question than something I really need to know.

How is the little caret / down arrow thing constructed? Poking around with Firebug it looks like it's just made with transparent borders but ... I must be missing something.
Bootstrap is very cool. I just got it going with Symfony.
It is only with borders. When you see arrows like this, the developer most likely used pseudo elements to create them. Basically what happens is you create a transparent box without content, and since there is nothing there, all you see is the one corner of the border. This conveniently looks just like an arrow.
How to do it:
.foo:before {
content: ' ';
height: 0;
position: absolute;
width: 0;
border: 10px solid transparent;
border-left-color: #333;
}

I have inherited a legacy app for a rewrite and have run across a curious problem. There is tabular data displayed on the page where the title of the table is within a trapezoidal shape that resembles a manila envelope tab. At the bottom of such tables, there is usually a button row that is the same shape as the table title but rotated 180°. Currently, this effect is being pulled off by using a square image with a white triangle in one half on a transparent background as a background image in the corner of a rectangular block to achieve the look of a trapezoid. However, this technique is prone to flickering when the page is refreshed.
As an exercise, I have tried to see if I can replace this with a pure CSS technique. I found this link to different shapes in CSS and have emulated the trapezoid to look as I need. I am able to place the table title text within a trapezoid correctly. However, when I need the look of the 180° rotated trapezoid, I am unable to get the text to place within the shape. My code is included below and here is a jsFiddle showing what I have accomplished so far. I understand that the text shows below the rotated trapezoid because the height is set to 0 and I'm using border-top to build the shape. Is there anything I can do to get this to work correctly?
Please keep in mind that I need this to display in IE8 (and possibly also IE8 in compatibility mode -- IE7). Also, I'd like to keep additional HTML elements to a minimum because I want to keep this as semantic as possible. I know I can place a span inside the div and absolutely position that span so that it displays the text within the shape, but when I do that I have to manually set a width on the trapezoid and when the width can vary from button row to button row, I'd rather not go down that path.
Thanks.
HTML:
<div class="trap">Title Text</div>
<div class="trap180">Button Row</div>
CSS:
.trap {
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
border-bottom: 27px solid #F00;
border-right: 27px solid transparent;
height: 0px;
float: left;
line-height: 27px;
padding: 0 4px;
}
.trap180 {
clear: both;
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
border-top: 27px solid #F00;
border-left: 27px solid transparent;
height: 0px;
float: right;
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
line-height: 27px;
padding: 0px 4px 0;
}
It's possible with pseudo-elements. But I don't have access to those old browsers to test.
.trap, .trap180 {
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
float: left;
line-height: 30px;
height: 30px;
padding: 0 4px;
background: salmon;
position: relative;
}
.trap180 {
float: right;
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
}
.trap:after,.trap180:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
height: 0px;
width: 40px;
top: 0;
}
.trap:after {
right: -30px;
border-bottom: 30px solid salmon;
border-right: 30px solid transparent;
z-index: -10;
}
.trap180:after {
left: -30px;
border-top: 30px solid salmon;
border-left: 30px solid transparent;
z-index: -10;
}

Frankly, if you need to still support IE7, I would just use images or allow a little graceful degradation.
