I want to achieve this:
But there is unnecessary gap on top of the Social icons div. The page is live at http://goo.gl/K17Fjs
My markup:-
<header>
<img src="images/home-layout_02.jpg" alt="Salem Al Hajri Logo">
<div id="top-social">
Follow us on <img src="images/home-layout_05_01.jpg" alt=""><img src="images/home-layout_05_02.jpg" alt=""><img src="images/home-layout_05_03.jpg" alt="">
</div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Projects</li>
<li>Photo Gallery</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
My CSS:
body {
margin: 0 auto;
background-attachment: scroll;
/*background-image: url(images/home-layout_08.jpg);*/
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: bottom;
}
header {width: 920px; margin: 0 auto;}
#top-social {float: right; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle; padding-top: 13px; width: 538px;}
nav {float: right; width: 538px; text-align: right; margin-top: 45px;}
nav li { display: inline;}
To achieve your layout, you need to float your logo image left.
See this FIDDLE
Add this CSS :
header > img {
float: left;
}
This : header > img {} means propeties will apply only to the first children images of the <header> tag in your case, the logo image and not to the social icons.
Remove "padding-top: 13px;" from your CSS.
Change your style.css line:10 to:
#top-social {
float: right;
text-align: right;
vertical-align: middle;
/*padding-top: 13px;*/
width: 538px;
}
There is a top padding of 13 pixels.
Elements with float: right will be pushed down by other elements that come before them. You can fix this by changing your markup to move the #top-social and nav before the <img>.
However, in this case I think it would be better to absolutely position the top social and the nav to the top right and bottom right of the containing header. This will allow you to easily get the nav links below the social links and keep this appearance.
header {
position: relative;
}
#top-social {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
}

I'm implementing pagination, and it needs to be centered. The problem is that the links need to be displayed as block, so they need to be floated. But then, text-align: center; doesn't work on them. I could achieve it by giving the wrapper div padding of left, but every page will have a different number of pages, so that wouldn't work. Here's my code:
.pagination {
text-align: center;
}
.pagination a {
display: block;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
float: left;
margin-left: 3px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
}
.pagination a.last {
width: 90px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-last.png);
}
.pagination a.first {
width: 60px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-first.png);
}
<div class='pagination'>
<a class='first' href='#'>First</a>
<a href='#'>1</a>
<a href='#'>2</a>
<a href='#'>3</a>
<a class='last' href='#'>Last</a>
</div>
<!-- end: .pagination -->
To get the idea, what I want:
Removing floats, and using inline-block may fix your problems:
.pagination a {
- display: block;
+ display: inline-block;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
- float: left;
margin-left: 3px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
}
(remove the lines starting with - and add the lines starting with +.)
.pagination {
text-align: center;
}
.pagination a {
+ display: inline-block;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
margin-left: 3px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
}
.pagination a.last {
width: 90px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-last.png);
}
.pagination a.first {
width: 60px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-first.png);
}
<div class='pagination'>
<a class='first' href='#'>First</a>
<a href='#'>1</a>
<a href='#'>2</a>
<a href='#'>3</a>
<a class='last' href='#'>Last</a>
</div>
<!-- end: .pagination -->
inline-block works cross-browser, even on IE6 as long as the element is originally an inline element.
Quote from quirksmode:
An inline block is placed inline (ie. on the same line as adjacent content), but it behaves as a block.
this often can effectively replace floats:
The real use of this value is when you want to give an inline element a width. In some circumstances some browsers don't allow a width on a real inline element, but if you switch to display: inline-block you are allowed to set a width.” ( http://www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html#inlineblock ).
From the W3C spec:
[inline-block] causes an element to generate an inline-level block container. The inside of an inline-block is formatted as a block box, and the element itself is formatted as an atomic inline-level box.
Since many years I use an old trick I learned in some blog, I'm sorry i don't remember the name to give him credits.
Anyway to center floating elements this should work:
You need a structure like this:
.main-container {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
.fixer-container {
float: left;
position: relative;
left: -50%;
}
<div class="main-container">
<div class="fixer-container">
<ul class="list-of-floating-elements">
<li class="floated">Floated element</li>
<li class="floated">Floated element</li>
<li class="floated">Floated element</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
the trick is giving float left to make the containers change the width depending on the content. Than is a matter of position:relative and left 50% and -50% on the two containers.
The good thing is that this is cross browser and should work from IE7+.
Centering floats is easy. Just use the style for container:
.pagination{ display: table; margin: 0 auto; }
change the margin for floating elements:
.pagination a{ margin: 0 2px; }
or
.pagination a{ margin-left: 3px; }
.pagination a.first{ margin-left: 0; }
and leave the rest as it is.
It's the best solution for me to display things like menus or pagination.
Strengths:
cross-browser for any elements (blocks, list-items etc.)
simplicity
Weaknesses:
it works only when all floating elements are in one line (which is usually ok for menus but not for galleries).
#arnaud576875 Using inline-block elements will work great (cross-browser) in this case as pagination contains just anchors (inline), no list-items or divs:
Strengths:
works for multiline items.
Weknesses:
gaps between inline-block elements - it works the same way as a space between words. It may cause some troubles calculating the width of the container and styling margins. Gaps width isn't constant but it's browser specific (4-5px).
To get rid of this gaps I would add to arnaud576875 code (not fully tested):
.pagination{ word-spacing: -1em; }
.pagination a{ word-spacing: .1em; }
it won't work in IE6/7 on block and list-items elements
Set your container's width in px and add:
margin: 0 auto;
Reference.
Using Flex
.pagination {
text-align: center;
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
}
.pagination a {
display: block;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
float: left;
margin-left: 3px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
}
.pagination a.last {
width: 90px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-last.png);
}
.pagination a.first {
width: 60px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-first.png);
}
<div class='pagination'>
<a class='first' href='#'>First</a>
<a href='#'>1</a>
<a href='#'>2</a>
<a href='#'>3</a>
<a class='last' href='#'>Last</a>
</div>
<!-- end: .pagination -->
text-align: center;
float: none;
I think the best way is using margin instead of display.
I.e.:
.pagination a {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
}
Check the result and the code:
http://cssdeck.com/labs/d9d6ydif
You can also do this by changing .pagination by replacing "text-align: center" with two to three lines of css for left, transform and, depending on circumstances, position.
.pagination {
left: 50%; /* left-align your element to center */
transform: translateX(-50%); /* offset left by half the width of your element */
position: absolute; /* use or dont' use depending on element parent */
}
.pagination a {
display: block;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
float: left;
margin-left: 3px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
}
.pagination a.last {
width: 90px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-last.png);
}
.pagination a.first {
width: 60px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-first.png);
}
<div class='pagination'>
<a class='first' href='#'>First</a>
<a href='#'>1</a>
<a href='#'>2</a>
<a href='#'>3</a>
<a class='last' href='#'>Last</a>
</div>
<!-- end: .pagination -->
IE7 doesn't know inline-block.
You must add:
display:inline;
zoom: 1;
Add this to you styling
position:relative;
float: left;
left: calc(50% - *half your container length here);
*If your container width is 50px put 25px, if it is 10em put 5em.

step 1
create two or more div's you want and give them a definite width like 100px for each then float it left or right
step 2
then warp these two div's in another div and give it the width of 200px. to this div apply margin auto.
boom it works pretty well. check the above example.
Just adding
left:15%;
into my css menu of
#menu li {

I am new to html & css. I made a title and a nav bar on the same height but when I make my browser window smaller(liquid) the title and the nav bar collide. How can I fix this?
This is my css code for the title and nav. bar:
/*title*/
#logo{
width: 35%;
margin-top: 5px;
font-family: georgia;
display: inline-block;
}
/* nav. bar */
#nav{
width: 60%;
display: inline-block;
text-align: right;
float: right;
}
/* unorded list */
#nav ul{}
#nav ul li{
display: inline-block;
height: 62px;
}
/* text*/
#nav ul li a{
padding: 20px;
background: orange;
color: white;
}
And this is the html code:
<div id="logo">
<h1>Baby kleding online</h1>
</div>
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="../html/index.html"id="homenav" >Home</a></li>
<li><a href="../html/kleding.html"id="kledingnav" >Kleding</a></li>
<li>Bestellen</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Vragen</li>
</ul>
</div>
Thanks in advance.
What I suggest is giving your logo an absolute position, and floating the nav over it, with a left margin that's the same as the width of your logo.
Example here :
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/uvAaJ
If you can expand your question with the behavior you're looking for it would help... as there are so many ways to handle this situation depending on what you want (absolute + margin, media queries, box-sizing:border-box...).
Hey guys was hoping you can help me out.
been at this for like more than an hour and its driving me crazy.
basically I am a big novice when it comes to CSS but am learning. at the moment I am trying to replicated a menu that looks like this:
what I have so far looks something like this (i know the fonts different but not problem):
As you can see, ive got the background but I just CAN NOT figure out how make the start, end and the breaks (black line part) between each tab.
Also, basically the start, break, end I have as .jpg images. Not looking for html5 or css3 curves etc to do this. Just want to keep it simple :).
this is what I got so far. It would be great if you could could give me some tips on how I could make whats remaining and in case ive used a not-so-great approach, suggest an approach which would be better.
the html:
<div id="header">
<ul id="header-list">
<li class="header-list-item">
<span class= "header-list-item-span" >Home</span>
</li>
<li class="header-list-item">
<span class= "header-list-item-span" >About Us</span>
</li>
<li class="header-list-item">
<span class= "header-list-item-span" >Services</span>
</li>
</ul>
</div><!--END OF HEADER -->
the css:
#header-list{
display: table;
position: relative;
left: -3em;
table-layout: fixed;
margin-bottom: 0PX;
margin-top: 0;
margin-left: auto;
}
.header-list-item-span{
background-image: url("img/menubody.jpg");
color: white;
display: inline-block;
width: 5em;
font-size: large;
text-align: center;
padding: .2em;
}
.header-list-item{
display: table-cell;
height: 4.2em;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
Here's an idea:
Wrap the ul in a div. Set the first jpg as a background image for that div, and add some padding-left so that the image can be visible.
Set the last jpg as a background image for the ul and add some padding-right so that the image can be visible too.
Also, in my opinion, you should simplify your HTML by taking more advantage of CSS selectors.
The header list can be selected as div#header > ul.
The items that you are selecting with the class header-list-item can be selected with div#header > ul > li.
I don't think the span is actually necessary, you could apply the styles directly to the li elements.
Wrap the ul in another div and add padding on the inside to the left and you can place your start image as the background. Then make the right image the background of the ul and add padding on the right.

My website URL is http://www.hentaireader.com
At the bottom right corner, I wish to put a small link on the red footer bar.
I have created a simple image of what I wish to do.
How can I achieve this??
The code on this page is a disaster. With that said you would have to remove the http://www.hentaireader.com/images/bar.gif image from the HTML and use CSS to create a background-image.
Something similar to this would be required...
CSS:
#footer-bar {
width:100%;
background-color:#f40000;
background-image: url(http://www.hentaireader.com/images/bar.gif);
background-position:top center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
text-align: right;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#footer-bar ul {
width: 950px;
height: 30px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
#footer-bar li {
display: inline;
line-height: 30px;
margin-left: 6px;
}
#footer-bar li a {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
HTML:
<div id="footer">
<div id="footer-bar">
<ul>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Another Link</li>
</ul>

Ok, well first of all. Do you see the red bar? You have a div inside of the div you have an image. You should have put the (red bar) image as a background, and put a link inside the div. Then you could haver positioned the link where you wanted it with padding/margin.
#footer a {}
Example
I'm implementing pagination, and it needs to be centered. The problem is that the links need to be displayed as block, so they need to be floated. But then, text-align: center; doesn't work on them. I could achieve it by giving the wrapper div padding of left, but every page will have a different number of pages, so that wouldn't work. Here's my code:

width: 30px;
height: 30px;
float: left;
margin-left: 3px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button.png);
}
.pagination a.last {
width: 90px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-last.png);
}
.pagination a.first {
width: 60px;
background: url(/images/structure/pagination-button-first.png);
}
<div class='pagination'>

position: absolute; /* use or dont' use depending on element parent */
}

step 1
create two or more div's you want and give them a definite width like 100px for each then float it left or right
step 2
then warp these two div's in another div and give it the width of 200px. to this div apply margin auto.
boom it works pretty well. check the above example.
Just adding
left:15%;
into my css menu of
#menu li {
float: left;
position:relative;
left: 15%;
list-style:none;
}
did the centering trick too
