I'm trying to vertically position :before and :after pseudo-elements in a <h2>.
Each is placed in a float:left orange column, next to a another float:left column which contains a <p>.
I'd like to have at the top and the bottom of the <h2>, a thin border.
The issue is : if the text contained in the <p> float column is longer than the <h2>, the bottom-border of the <h2> is placed at the bottom of the text column, not at the bottom at the <h2> column.
Because of my "not-so-good-english", I made a fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/vcH4T/
I'm really stuck with this :(
Thanks in advance for your help!

I'd like to have at the top and the bottom of the <h2>, a thin border.
Like this:
JSFiddle
CSS /* generic h2 */
h2 {
font-size:1.1em;
line-height: 20px;
background-color: #d8713c;
border-radius: 4px;
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
padding: 20px 10px;
position:relative;
}
h2::before, h2::after {
content:"";
position: absolute;
left:50%;
width: 10%; /* anything you like */
margin-left:-5%; /* 50% of width */
height: 0px;
border-bottom: 3px solid #efbe94;
}
h2::before {
top: 7%;
}
h2::after {
bottom: 7%;
}

I'm trying to get the white background behind the title to remain at the width of the text, not run all the way to the right of the screen, as it's doing now:
http://www.jmakhotels.com/post-ranch-inn-california-big-sur-new/
It should look like this: http://www.jmakhotels.com/images/title-tag.jpg ... but I can't figure out how to set the width so that it's dynamic for the different title lengths. This should be simple, but it's driving me insane! That .header-title element should simply be the width of the text + 10x padding on the left and right.
Here's the CSS for the blue div (which will be an image bgd), and the title element:
.main-header {
background-color: #009cff;
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
}
.header-title {
margin: -58px 0 0 18px;
padding:10px;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.8);
width:auto;
}
Thanks so much to anyone who can help me figure this out.
Setting display:table on the .header-title rule will fix the issue (without messing the margins).
Your .header-title (h2) is a block element, it should be a inline-block element to grab the width of the element itself.
However, your header-title can be placed inside the main-header instead of below the element.
A quick fix would be to move the .header-title element from below the .main-header div to the inside:
<div class="main-header">
<h2 class="header-title">This will be the title</div>
</div>
You want the header title to stick to the bottom of the main header, you can do this by giving it an absolute position. First we need to give the main header a relative position:
.main-header {
position: relative;
}
Now we can position header-title to the bottom of the main-header element:
h2.header-title {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0; <- stick to the bottom of main-header
left: 1em;
}
You can remove the margin from the header-title class in your CSS, because you're already telling header-title to stick to the bottom of main-header.
Change .header-title to display:inline-block then add margin-bottom: -36px; to .main-header
So:
.main-header {
background-color: #009cff;
height: 300px;
margin-bottom: -36px;
width: 100%;
}
.header-title {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.8);
display: inline-block;
margin: -58px 0 0 18px;
padding: 10px;
}
Also don't need width:auto
Try adding the style display: inline-block;
I am assuming .header-title is being used on a div that surrounds the title. You also shouldn't need width: auto;
I'm having trouble styling text within a div, which is in the shape of a triangle. All done with CSS.
The triangle is currently positioned absolutely as it needs to be for a larger project (I've removed the code from the larger project as it's irrelevant).
Here is a jsFiddle
See the code below:
HTML
<div>Here is a Triangle</div>
CSS
div {
text-align: center;
color: #fff;
font-size: 1.125em;
width: 100%;
}
div:nth-child(1) {
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
left: 100px;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 126px solid transparent;
border-right: 126px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 126px solid #D30000;
}
since the div has zero width, there will be a line break between each pair of words.
A solution might be to create the shape with one element, and have the text in another one.
You need to realise the triangle is actually a very thick border of a 0x0 element located at the top vertex, and position accordingly.
Here I've positioned the text at the baseline of the triangle and made its width from one vertex of the base to the other. Feel free to play with the text element's size to avoid the text overflowing the triangle. I'm afraid, however, that you can't just let the text flow inside a triangular shape:
HTML:
<div class="triangle"><div class="text">Here is a Triangle</div></div>
CSS:
div { /*your original CSS*/ }
div.triangle { /* your original CSS for div:nth-child(1) */ }
div.text {
position: absolute;
bottom: -126px; /* baseline */
left: -126px; /* left tip */
right: -126px; /* right tip */
width: auto; /* reset width:100% from div */
height: auto; /* just in case */
}

I was surfing at this iA Blog post the other day and tried to figure out how did they do the dots as separator around the date.
I looked at CSS and figured out it is possible only with their own special font. Is there a way to do that without using their font? What would be some hacks without using images to do the same thing?
Screenshot below:
I had the same question once and I came up with this:
.lined{ display:table-row; width:auto; white-space:nowrap; position:relative; }
.lined:before,.lined:after {content:'';
display:table-cell;
width:50%;
position:relative;
height:20px;
background: url(http://www.xpy.gr/css/img/text-deco.png) 7px no-repeat;
}
I uses pseudo elements and some table-like functionality. It has some limitations but it will always stretch up to full width. All you have to do is change the background and add the class to the element of you choice.
DEMO: http://dabblet.com/gist/2172806
I used a negative (relative em) margin to place the header over the dotted top-border of the containing block. This should keep the code save when the font-size changes. See CodePen for an example.
You can use, say, a div with a dotted border on the top, like in this jsFiddle.
Basically you can put the text over the border (i.e. with absolute positioning) and apply a white background to it.
<div>
<p>I. JUNE 2012</p>
</div>
div {
border-top: 2px dotted #eee;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
}
p {
background: white;
position: absolute;
top: -25px;
padding: 0 10px;
}
Create an element with a dotted border, and in it center an element with a white background and a position that overflows the parent's height.
A crude example:
HTML
<div class="title_container">
<div class="title">I. June 2012</div>
</div>
CSS
.title_container {position:relative;height:20px;border-bottom:1px dotted #000;}
.title_container .title {display:table;position:relative;top:10px;left:0;right:0;margin:0 auto;padding:0 10px;background:#FFF;}
See jsFiddle demo
You could use something like this. But it's probably not very robust against font and size changes.
HTML:
<div id='container'>
<div class='dotted'>
<span>2013-03-10</span>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#container {
width: 30em;
}
.dotted {
text-align: center;
position: relative;
top: 1em;
border-top: 1px dotted #888;
overflow-y: visible;
}
.dotted span {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
top: -0.75em;
background: #fff;
padding: 0 1ex;
}
Yes, I'm a newb so please go easy. I know there's got to be several ways to accomplish this. Basically I've been trying to come up with a consistent way to have a header with a line after the text that will run to the full width of a container element.
Something like this:
This is my header _______________________________________________________ |<- end container
This is another header __________________________________________________ |<- end container
I'm trying to create a .line class that will use bottom-border to create the line but I've been unsuccessful at creating a variable length line that will extend the full width of the container.
Here's what I've tried:
CSS:
.line
{
display:inline-block;
border-bottom:2px #5B3400 solid;
margin-left:5px;
width:80%;
}
HTML:
<h2>Our Mission<span class="line"></span></h2>
Of course this only gives me a line 80% of the container from the left border including the width of the text. How can I create a line that begins after the text and runs the full width of the border regardless of how much text is on the same line?
I know this should be easy but I haven't been able to find a solution yet.
Thanks!
THIS METHOD WILL WORK WITH TEXTURED BACKGROUNDS (background images):
You can try using this method instead, if your <h2> is on top of a background image.
HTML:
<h2 class="line-title"><span>This is my title</span><hr /></h2>
CSS:
.line-title {
font-size: 20px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 1px; /* Allows for hr margin to start at top of h2 */
}
/* clearfix for floats */
.line-title:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.line-title span {
padding-right: 10px;
float: left;
}
.line-title hr {
border:1px solid #DDD;
border-width: 1px 0 0 0;
margin-top: 11px;
}
See the working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/yYBDD/1/
How it Works:
the <h2> tag acts as a container for a floated element.
the <span> is floated left, causing the <hr /> to collapse to the left and fill the right space.
the <hr /> acts as the line, and fills up the remaining space to the right.
THIS METHOD WILL WORK WITH SOLID BACKGROUND COLORS:
HTML:
<h2 class="line-title"><span>This is my title</span></h2>
CSS:
.line-title {
border-bottom: 1px solid #DDD;
font-size: 20px;
height: 12px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.line-title span {
background: #FFF;
padding-right: 10px;
}
You can see a working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/yYBDD/
How it works.
the <h2> tag has a class that sets the height to half of the height of the text it contains.
the <h2> has a bottom border, that extends to the width of it's parent container (since it's a block element).
the <span> inside of the <h2> has a white background, which will cover the area where the text and border overlap.
And finally, the <h2>> has a bottom margin, that compensates for the reduced height of the <h2>.
You could use flexbox to do this.
http://jsfiddle.net/eHHep/ (prefixes not included)
<h1 class="lineme">This is my header</h1>
<h2 class="lineme">This is another header</h2>
.lineme {
display: flex;
}
.lineme:after {
display: block;
content: " ";
border-bottom: 1px solid;
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
Advantages over other methods:
No extra markup required
Background color is not required
Down side:
Support for flexbox is low due to IE10 being the first IE to support it (see http://caniuse.com/#search=flexbox)
Your line goes away if your text wraps around
HTML:
<h2><span>Our Mission</span></h2>
CSS:
h2{
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
height: 20px;
overflow: visible;
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
h2 span{
display: inline-block;
background: #fff;
height: 21px;
}
This way it'll overflow on the bottom border as it has bigger height.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/afuzk/
Here's something I tried and that worked:
HTML
<h2>Our Mission</h2>
CSS
h2:after
{
content: "\00a0";
border-bottom: solid 2px black;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
margin-left: 3px;
}
The JS Bin to test: http://jsbin.com/ayuvuc/4
I'm trying to center a heading (with variable width) and have the underline running from the left hand edge of the page to the end of the text. Unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be an easy way of doing this! The closest I've come to what I want is:
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper1 {
margin-right: 50%;
border-bottom: 4px solid red;
}
#wrapper2 {
text-align: center;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
}
h1 {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 auto;
border-bottom: 4px solid red;
}
</style>
<div id="wrapper1"><div id="wrapper2"><h1>Centered.</h1></div></div>
This way, the text is centered with a border acting as an underline, and the border on wrapper1 extends from the left hand edge to the center. BUT, because the heading is within the wrapper, and the border on the wrapper is outside of the content, the wrapper border is below the heading border.
Any suggestions gratefully received - this is driving me mad!
In your #wrapper2:
bottom: -4px;
Will make it move 4 pixels downwards to overlap the other line.
(Tested in Safari, works)
Try removing both the padding-bottom and margin-bottom on both wrappers (set to 0), then add it back in on the inner one only until it looks right.
OK, I had a go, and this works for me. I had to put position relative on both wrappers, which then allows you to push the inner wrapper down a couple of pixels from it's original location.
<html>
<head><title>test</title></head>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper1 {
margin-right: 50%;
margin-bottom:0;
padding-bottom:0;
border-bottom: 4px solid red;
position:relative;
}
#wrapper2 {
text-align: center;
position: relative;
left: 50%;
margin-bottom:0;
padding-bottom:0;
position:relative;
top:4px; /*The width of the border doing the underlining*/
}
h1 {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 auto;
border-bottom: 4px solid red;
}
</style>
<div id="wrapper1"><div id="wrapper2"><h1>Centered.</h1></div></div>
