I have a small text in the footer. The text is aligned to right but i want the text to move up slightly? how can I do that? my code
#foot tag {
width:1000px;
height:30px;
padding:10px;
border:5px solid white;
margin:0px;
text-align:right;
padding-top: 10px;
}
#foot tag {
width:1000px;
height:30px;
padding:10px 10px 20px 10px;
/* You can adjust the above 4 values to add padding to top, right, bottom and left */
border:5px solid white;
margin:0px;
text-align:right;
}
You can do a couple things, it's tough to say without seeing the live site.
1) decrease the top padding by changing:
padding: 5px 10px 10px 10px;
2) use a negative top margin:
margin: -5px 0 0 0;
You can try this. Top and left css property will move you p in parent div
<div style="position: relative"><p style="position: absolute; top: 1px"></p></div>

I'm using Wordpress and their twentythirteen theme. With this theme I would like to position and align the site title and tagline text to the upper right of the header. When I try to do so it's always positioned under my logo for some reason. I played with the position CSS property with no luck, it's still positioned under the logo.
Sample of the CSS file
.site-title {
font-size: 30px;
line-height: 0.5;
padding: 5px 0 10px;
text-align:right;
position: relative;
}
.site-description {
font: 300 italic 18px "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align:right;
}
.site-header {
margin:10px auto 0 auto;
max-width:980px;
padding:0;
background-color:#ffffff;
background-size: 980px auto;
border-top:2px solid #efefef;
border-bottom:1px solid #cdcdcd;
box-shadow: 0 3px 3px #dedede;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 3px #dedede;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 3px #dedede;
-o-box-shadow: 0 3px 3px #dedede;
}
.site-header .site-title:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}
.site-header .home-link {
min-height: 50px;
}
.header-logo {
max-width:60%;
display:block;
padding-top:3px;
position:relative;
}
Here's my testing website so you can see exactly what I'm talking about:
mywptestsite.is-great.org
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,

The problem is that you are encapsulating your site title in an h1 tag, so it is positioning it in a new line.
You could fix the issue by putting both your logo and your site title in the same <div> element, and add float: left; to your header-logo class, and float: right; to your site-title class.
You can try this - add these few lines to title and tagline css classes:
.site-title {
position:absolute;
top:20px;
right:20px;
}
.site-description {
position:absolute;
top:50px;
right:110px;
}
You can change top and right values to get desired positions of course...
You can use float on the image, title, and description to get those two elements onto the right. You will also need to use a clearfix technique on .home-link to get the element to wrap around all floated elements.
CSS
.header-logo { float: left; }
.site-title{ float: right; clear: none; }
.site-description { clear: right; }
This is what I want the chicklet box to look like:![]1
For some reason I can not use negative margins to get the twitter image to go to the center of the box. Is there something wrong with my parent-child relationship?
My css is in an external sheet, but here it is:
<style type="text/css">
#chicklet_container {
margin:20px auto 0px auto;
width:540px;
height:215px;
}
#chicklet_box {
margin:0px 0px 10px 0px;
width:190px;
height:160px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:33px 5px 5px 5px;
border-color:#45BA88;
position:relative;
}
#chicklet_box2 {
margin:-30px 0px 10px 0px;
width:190px;
height:160px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:0px 0px 30px 0px;
border-color:#3f4040;
}
#chicklet_text {
text-align:center;
margin:-196px 0px 0px 0px;
color:#FFF;
width:190px;
font-family:"Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif";
font-size:27px;
line-height:20px;
}
#chicklet_text2 {
text-align:center;
margin:139px 0px 0px 0px;
color:#FFF;
width:190px;
font-family:"Proxima, Nova, Ultralight";
font-size:26px;
line-height:20px;
}
#chicklet_box img {
margin:-250px 0px auto 5px;
}
</style>
Here is the html:
<div id="chicklet_container">
<div id="chicklet_box">
<div id="chicklet_box2">
</div>
<div id="chicklet_text">Follow Me</div>
<div id="chicklet_text2">#soandsoandso</div>
<img src="images/twitter.jpg" alt="">
</div>
</div>
Why are you using so much margin to align the twitter bird image or text. Use as low margins as possible. Instead this, try using that image position:absolute; and top ,left properties. It'll be more clean. But one thing to remember if you are using absolute position for an element ,check if its outer or parent element is positioned or not, if it is not then things may go worse and that child element might go somewhere else.
Negative margins are not a hack - W3C even says: "Negative values for margin properties are allowed..."

I do agree in this case though they may be over-emphasized.
Why do you have Chicklet Box 2 inside of Chicklet Box 1? I'm assuming each box represents an icon... am I wrong?
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>

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
So I am trying to get this to working somthing like a List Bullet, but at the END of the Navigation Button.
I am having PROBLEMS WITH the Black Triangle positioning itself too far up. It raises higher than the text I have (w/ black BG).
Below is an example of my issue.
http://dabblet.com/gist/3483670
I have tried alot of different things, but I am completely stumped.
Probably something silly I am overlooking, but it might need a serious of work arounds I am not aware of.
Thanks for all the help.
Incase the Link does not work for you. See Below.
CSS
a {font: 19px/26px 'Exo',Arial,sans-serif;
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0 0 0 -10px;
padding: 0 0 58px;
font-weight:100;
text-transform: uppercase;
width: 100%;
text-decoration:none;}
a[rel="catagory"] { background:#000000; padding:0 5px 0 5px; color:#BAFF32;}
.triangle { width: 0;
height: 0;
background:no-repeat right center;
border-top: 0px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 25px solid transparent;
border-left: 15px solid black;
display:inline-block;}
HTML
<span class="plus">+</span> <span>HOME</span><span class="triangle"></span>
You can add
a[rel="catagory"] {
vertical-align:middle;
display:inline-block;
width:auto;
line-height:25px;
}
.triangle {
vertical-align:middle
}
Explanation:
The part which aligns them is
a[rel="catagory"] {vertical-align:middle;}
.triangle {vertical-align:middle}
But anchor's height is 22px, so we need
a[rel="catagory"] {
display:inline-block;
line-height:25px;
}
in order to make the height 25px.
But you have another rule (I wonder why):
a{width:100%}
Before setting display:inline-block the anchor has display:inline, so that rule does nothing.
But now it works and we want to disable it, so we need
a[rel="catagory"] {
width:auto;
}
It is my understanding that a display:block will automatically start in a new line. Why do the boxes collapse when a float:left is introduced inside a div with display:block? Here is a fiddle and below the code
#wrapper {
width:300px;
margin:0px auto;
text-align:left;
padding:15px;
border:1px solid #a39b8b;
background-color:#fff;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px #888;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 10px #888;}
#header { width: 100%; display: block; }
#logo { width: 100px; height: 145px; background: #fde; }
#slogan {
display: block; background: #f9ebcd; height: 35px; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 3px 10px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 3px 10px #888; box-shadow: 0px 3px 10px #888; border: 1px solid red;
}
.left { float:left;}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div id="logo"class="left">left</div>
</div>
<div id="slogan">slogan</div>
Floats move an element out of the normal flow of the page. If there's nothing left in the flow inside a containing element, it will 'collapse'.
Check the specs for more info.
I recommend you familiarize yourself with clearfix. It makes life easier.
Your example (revised): http://jsfiddle.net/HkHTk/4/
That's just what happens with float.
A common problem with float-based layouts is that the floats' container doesn't want to stretch up to accomodate the floats. If you want to add, say, a border around all floats (ie. a border around the container) you'll have to command the browsers somehow to stretch up the container all the way.
The fix:
#wrapper {
overflow: auto;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/mattball/CjXNW/
You need to clear your float using the CSS clear property.
What are you trying to do? If you want the slogan box to appear beneath the logo box, you need to add clear:both; to the #slogan code.
