I want to display a link in a mobile menu that is hidden in the regular page navigation. I removed the “Home” navigation link
<li id="home-menu">HOME </li>
from the regular webpage view in styles.css Line 60, using an alternative to display:none, discussed here: http://css-tricks.com/places-its-tempting-to-use-display-none-but-dont.
#home-menu {
position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
height: 1px; width: 1px;
margin: -1px; padding: 0; border: 0;
}
Now, I want to enable the "Home" link in the mobile menu list. On Line 176 of styles.css, I tried to display #home-menu,
#home-menu {
display: inline-block;
}
but it will not show in the responsive menu. I am really trying to avoid using !important. I would appreciate learning how to resolve this. My example is at http://nspowers.org/ask/display/
You have a lot going on here, so without going into too much detail I'll suggest a cleaner alternative:
Remove the absolute positioning and its associated rules and instead use display: none; to hide #home-menu initially - then add display: block; at the mobile break point to have it re-appear:
header#topnav nav ul li#home-menu {
display: none; /* Also remove the !important rule from here */
/* position: absolute;
overflow: hidden;
clip: rect(0 0 0 0);
height: 1px; width: 1px;
margin: -1px; */
padding: 0; border: 0;
}
To have home re-appear for smaller devices:
#media only screen and (max-width: 579px) {
header#topnav nav ul li#home-menu {
display: block;
}
}
This seems like a simpler more maintainble solution, plus you won't need to override so many rules.
Read up on selector specificity if you're confused about how it works - see: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#specificity, http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2007/07/27/css-specificity-things-you-should-know/ and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity for more.
You're clipping it and have a height and width of 1px, so you need to override these properties as well:
#topnav nav ul li {
float: none;
margin: 0;
clip: auto; //reset clip to not clip
height: auto; //allow height to expand
width: 100%; //matches rest of menu elements
position: relative; //allow to flow above rest of elements instead of overlap first one
}
You also have this at line 117, which is overriding your display: inline-block because of the specificity of the selectors you are using. You can see this in the developer tools:
#topnav nav ul li {
display: block;
float: left;
font-size: 1.7em;
margin-right: 30px;
}

I've set up some custom css for a advanced form I have with a website I'm creating, however no matter which way I go about it the labels and fields do not seamlessly float the the left.
This is the page and below is my css for the formatting of the gravity forms
.gform_wrapper ul li.gfield.gsection {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
margin-top:1.4em;
}
.gform_wrapper ul li.gfield {
clear: none!important;
}
.entry-content .gform_fields li {
margin-right: .8em;
float: left!important;
margin: .5em;
}
.gfield.full-width {
//border: 1px solid blue;
width: 100%!important;
display: block;
}
.ginput_container input {
height: 2em;
width: 100% !important;
}
div.gform_wrapper input[type="email"], div.gform_wrapper input[type="text"], div.gform_wrapper textarea, div.gform_wrapper .ginput_complex label {
padding: 0 0 0 .5em;
}
.gform_wrapper.gf_browser_gecko ul.gform_fields li.gfield div.ginput_complex span.ginput_left select, .gform_wrapper.gf_browser_gecko ul.gform_fields li.gfield div.ginput_complex span.ginput_right select, .gform_wrapper.gf_browser_gecko ul.gform_fields li.gfield select {
width: 100%;
}
I have a few mobile styles in my media queries for the phones but tablets up to the desktop doens't look as good as I'd like it to.
You can see the screenshot below as to the way it's looking when I resize the window just a tiny bit.
I just want the .gform_fields li to properly float left so that if there isn't any more room on that line to float all the way to the left on the next line, instead of showing up to the right on the line underneath.
If anyone could provide some insight as the the best way to make these fields float left at all times that would be appreciated!
From what I see (and if I understood correctly), this is really not a problem with the floating to the left. The real issue is that the dropdowns are 5 pixels higher than the text fields.
So, if you set a min-height for the gfield (e.g.: 71px that is the height of the li with a select box), the problem is solved:
.gform_wrapper ul li.gfield {
clear: none!important;
min-height:71px;
}
There's still a problem with the calendar icon that needs to be fixed. Maybe you could prevent the new line with something like white-space: nowrap. But it would require some testing.
I hope it helps. Good luck!
It turns out, as Monty82 had poitned out, that I needed a min-height on the li element, however neither or us were selecting the right name
.entry-content .gform_fields li {
**min-height: 90px !important;**
margin-right: .8em;
float: left!important;
margin: .5em;
}
As for the date picker, I had set an explicit width of 100% of ALL li fields, which over writes the 80% width I was giving the date-picker-li field. CSS is a cascading style (so after some testing) I realize that if I have my classes like this
.ginput_container input {
height: 2em;
width: 100%;
}
.gform_wrapper input.datepicker.datepicker_with_icon {
width: 80% !important;
}
It works great!
Jsfiddle to demonstrate my issue.
I have a SPA (Single Page Application).
In the appliation several dialogs can popup on the screen.
Every popup has it own width and height.
The title and content of the dialogs are added by angularJs
The problem i have here is the size of the dialog.
Currently all popups are made and added seperatly. I want to change this into one popup with variable content. The problem that comes with this is that the popup must wrap the contents width.
Example (as shown in the Jsfiddle)
<div class="dialog">
<div class="titlebar"></div>
<div class="content">
The content that is added has css that tells it has a width of 400px
This means the dialog needs to wrap to this 400px
</div>
</div>
How do i solve this by only using CSS?
Some examples of the variation of popups (although the width of both look the same, this is not the case)
Use display:table for the dialog.
Here is your Updated Fiddle.
For young browser you may use :
1) display:flex; property (includes centering) DEMO
.backdrop {
position: fixed;
top:0;
}
.backdrop {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
z-index: 100;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.dialog {
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}
2) max-content as value for width and not set any width to inner
content . (exept some padding to keep room for the close button) :
DEMO
Info on W3C about those new keywords value, soon avalaible i hope.
CSS updated
.dialog {
width: max-content;
z-index: 101;
margin: auto;
/* basic way t o center */
top:50%;
left:50%;
margin:-80px -150px;
}
.titlebar {
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
background-color: #000000;
border-radius: 10px 10px 0px 0px;
}
.title{
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size: x-large;
padding:0 50px 0 10px;
}
.close_button {
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
top: 0px;
line-height:30px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 5px;
border-radius: 10px;
background-color: #ffd549;
color: #000000;
}
.content {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
.content-width {
background-color:#FFF000;
}
or as already said , use the display: table, inline-table
Using display: inline-block; text-align: center;
Works in ie >= 8.
Fiddle.
I don't understand the problem.
If you want to center the content-width div element, simply add margin: auto;.
If you want the container to fit the WIDTH of its content, you must change the display property from block to something else, like inline-block or table (as suggested by #jacelysh).
What is it exactly that you are trying to do?
A div without a set width will take up the width of the parent.
try this.
.content {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
min-width: 100%;
}
.content-width {
width: 100%;
background-color:#FFF000;
}

Checking again now. You can just remove the width from those two classes and it will work.
This is what you want I think.

I got a sprite picture which is a breadcrumbs menu. I want to change the y position of this sprite when the mouse is hover the menu's elements.
There is no problem to do it with a fixed width website, but i can't resolve this with a responsive one...
Here is the live version : http://jsfiddle.net/RtqkD/
and my CSS code :
.services {
height: 64px;
width: auto;
background: transparent url('https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3894287/sprite.png') no-repeat 0 0;
background-size: 100%;
}
.services #Et1 {
margin-left: 60px;
}
.services #Et1, .services #Et2, .services #Et3, .services #Et4 {
height: 65px;
}
.services li {
float: left;
width: 210px;
position: relative;
background: none;
}
.services li a {
display: block;
padding: 8px 7px 8px 7px;
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.services li:first-child a {
padding-left: 10px;
}
Any tips ?
EDIT
After the #Sven comment i made a more complete live version of my issue here with CSS, HTMLand Javascript: http://jsfiddle.net/RtqkD/2/
Right, lets start with the fact that the way you're spriting that is totally unnecessary. I see why, but with some careful coding it can be gotten around.
Using the :before pseudo element, I created the triangles after each item. Now each item reacts to the hover on the anchor using CSS rather than jQuery (much neater). Browser support won't go down to IE7, but neither do most things.
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/robsterlini/RtqkD/5/ (EDIT sorted the padding issues http://jsfiddle.net/robsterlini/RtqkD/6/)
And here are the elements used: arrow sprite, background sprite (and if you wanted to be really tight with the sprites, you could even sprite them together, just be careful with how you do it.
Took me a little while to figure it out, so if you need any explaining then give me a shout :) Hope that helps!
I'm trying to build a horizontal menu with the last item seperated and positioned right, so that a logo finds place between the last and the second last item.
Firefox, Opera (Presto) and even the dirty ones from Redmond (9.0+) render it like I would expect. But WebKit (Chrome and Safari both render it the same) takes some space after the second last item where the last item would stay without position: absolute.
<header>Logo</header>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Statistics</li>
<li>Data Management</li>
<li>Market Research</li>
<li>Web & Apps</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
I display the list as table and the list items as table-cell because I want the left part of the menu (first to second last item, left to the logo) to have a fixed width while the items take the width they need for their contents. Text could change to anything. Till there, everything is alright. But if I give the last item a display: block; position: absolute, WebKit renders that gap (white in the example).
nav ul
{
display: table;
background: white; /* that's what you see in webkit */
}
nav ul li
{
display: table-cell;
}
nav ul li:last-child
{
display: block; /* "display: none;" works like I would expect */
position: absolute;
}
Here is a Fiddle.
I'm not sure if it is a bug in WebKit, because absolute positioning an element inside a table might not be default behavior. On the other hand, display: none works like I would expect. Shouldn't the space consumption be 0 in both cases?
Does anybody know of a bug in WebKit or has anyone an idea of how to prevent that gap?
Set the penultimate element "Web & Apps" to display block instead of table-cell:
nav ul li:nth-last-child(2)
{
display: block;
}
Display block fiddle
I've pushed this answer on other people, and often got the "flexbox isn't widely supported yet" response. However, here it goes again. The reason that Webkit is misbehaving is that within its implementation of display: table, the DOM is reserving space for the semantically declared cell. The easy way to implement this would be to simply break this element out into its own object, much like you'd done with the logo.
HOWEVER...
if you want to keep these semantically grouped - And why wouldn't you, they're all content, right? - you can always use the flexbox model to overcome this.
Here's a fiddle showing its use.
Here's what we change:
nav ul
{
display: box;
display: -webkit-flex;
flex-direction: row;
-webkit-justify-content: center;
-webkit-align-items: center;
-webkit-flex-direction: row;
background: white; /* that's what you see in webkit */
empty-cells: hide;
table-layout: auto;
}
nav ul li
{
flex: 1 1 auto;
-webkit-flex: 1 1 auto;
}
Now, your items properly cover the background, as it is no longer treating the last li as if it were a true table cell and still within the bounds of the table. Flexbox provides a flexible layout to fill available space. Often people see this as a solution for the "Holy Grail of Layout" problem, but its use expands way beyond just that.
So, if another "Flexbox isn't widely supported enough" response is incoming, I understand. But I'll keep proposing it as an answer on every one of these that I come across, because support is getting better every day.
A little CSS edited, take a look at please, if this what you want, Fiddle
body
{
position: relative;
background: #bbbbbb;
text-align: center;
color: white;
}
header
{
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 630px;
width: 80px;
height: 60px;
line-height: 60px;
background: black;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
nav
{
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 20px;
}
nav ul,
nav li
{
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
nav ul
{
width: 200px;
}
nav ul li a
{
display: block;
padding: 1px;
background: #0099ff;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
}
nav ul li a:hover
{
background: black;
}
nav li{
margin-bottom: 5px;
height: 25px;
line-height:25px;
}
While using absolute, every thing related/relating to that must be absolute in term of pixels.
I have updated fiddle, as your nav + logo .header + .nav:last-child were not totaling proper.
Fiddle link : http://jsfiddle.net/3TUk8/2/
in other case you will have to do that
nav ul
{
display: table;
background: #bbbbbb; /* that's what you see in webkit and same as bg color will hide it :) */
list-style: none;
}
I hope this solve your problem :)
I know I have seen this somewhere before, but I am trying to create a black fixed navbar with a marker that is transparent cut-out triangle. I need help getting the triangle cut-out to be transparent to the background, so when you scroll the page, you can see through to the content beneath:
I have a standard list/anchor navigation with a javascript to move the .current class depending upon the page section:
<div class="navbar">
<ul>
<li class="current"><a>home</a></li>
<li><a>products</a></li>
<li><a>services</a></li>
<li><a>contact us</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
styled with the following CSS:
.navbar {
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
background: black;
float: left;
}
ul, li {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
float: left;
}
a {
padding: 10px 20px 20px;
}
.current a {
background: transparent url('../img/wedge-red.png') center bottom no-repeat;
}
The only way I can think to do it is to add extra divs on either side of the ul and assign the background to them, and then use a transparent png with a cutout as the background of the li a's.
Is there a way to do this without getting really ugly like that, and adding extra divs?
Try CSS pseudo elements!
Add 2 free DOM elements before and after an existing element in the DOM. Ideal in cases when you don't want to add stuff to your markup to satisfy styling needs.
CSS Markup
.item:before {
content:"";
display: inline-block;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
background-color: silver;
}
.item:after {
content:"";
display: inline-block;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
background-color: gray;
}
HTML
<div class="item">Content</div>
Check this JSFiddle for a demo.
Make sure you set content: "" and display:block in order to see them.
Here's what I ended up with -- extending the borders and cropping them with overflow: hidden; (a little hacky, but it works and doesn't add elements to the DOM):
.navbar {
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
position: fixed;
overflow: hidden;
}
ul {
border-left: solid black 2000px;
border-right: solid black 2000px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -2000px;
}
The above worked nicely for my purposes, and behaves in a responsive environment.
The other answer on this page, using :before and :after pseudo elements didn't work for my purposes. It ended up being too fussy, the pseudo elements wouldn't align properly, and kept wrapping to the next line when the browser window was resized. That solution as suggested works with fixed-width elements, not percentages as was specified in the original question.
