EDIT
For those of you stumbling over this post, I have found that there is a "new" standard called Flexbox. This allows you do what I want to do: Flexbox demos
I am trying to get the following effect:
However, I get this:
See jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/abehnaz/8sPn7/3/
I tried height: 100% in CSS, but I had no luck. I think this might have to do with the fact that either the button style takes precedence over the height setting, or that the panel takes a dynamic height based on its contents (in this case, the image).
Is there a cross-browser/pure CSS way to make the button height match the panel height (with appropriate padding and fitting of content?)
Thanks!
HTML:
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="media">
<div class="media-object pull-left">
<button class="btn btn-info option-button">A</button>
<img src="holder.js/200x100" />
</div>
<div class="media-body">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.option-button {
height:100%;
}
**EDIT: ** To get to a solution that was acceptable, I ended up using the button in a media object. It does not automatically fit the entire height, but it does the job. It helped to apply the .btn-lg class.
In order for the browser to understand what 100% actually represents, you must give the containing div, in this case your media-object div, a height or have all parent divs have height 100%.
Think of it this way, the browser needs some number to start 100%, and when all parent divs have height: 100%; it uses the viewport (window size) for this number. If you have ever tried to do a sticky footer you have probably run into similar problems.
Here is a jsfiddle with a specified height:
http://jsfiddle.net/8sPn7/5/
Here is another jsfiddle with everything height 100% (a quick a dirty way to show you the 100% rule):
http://jsfiddle.net/8sPn7/6/
Bootstrap 4 :
add these classes d-flex align-items-stretch in the parent div.
Depending on your exact goal, this may not help, but adding height:100px to the containing div makes your height:100% work as expected. It looks like when the div expands to hold the image, that expansion isn't being carried through to the button like you'd expect.
Another thing that fixes the height is setting the button to position:absolute... but that's silly and unhelpful, unless it happens to be a fixed-width button and you can add a margin-left or something to space the rest of the content around it.

In angular material i want to enable the main scroll when the content of dialogue is become larger. by default the background scroller is locked. i tried to enable it by changing overflow property of css but it doesn't work. is there anyone who can help me?
Insert all content on
<md-content>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ne quod novum mei.
</md-content>
And than
md-content {
overflow: auto;
}
Can anyone please point me out, or name some tecnhiques that may exist in order to achieve this effect, on a properly way:
Like this:
and again:
As you may notice, the point is to connect both lines. Some of those lines come from text boxes, that, since we wish to properly use EM unit for font-size, the box around the text, may change.
I have never done this before, I would appreciate any point outs, in order to investigate this "effect" further please.
Thanks in advance.
It doesn't matter if the fonts in the text boxes are in EM. If the font size change, the text boxes size will change, but that it doesn't mean that the space between them also has to change (it could has a fixed height -the background height-).
Here's a really basic example (try changing the body font-size):
<html>
<head>
<style>
body { font-size: 12px;}
.text { border: 1px solid #999; padding: 15px; font-size:1em; }
.line { background: url(http://www.agavegroup.com/images/articles/photoshopCurvedLine/curveFinal.gif) no-repeat center center; height: 50px; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="text">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
</div>
<div class="line"></div>
<div class="text">
Eum, quis consequuntur culpa ex eius totam nemo.
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you do want the space between boxes height changing if the font-size change, you should set it height to EM and use a background images that's, lets say, doubled the container original height (so when the height change, more background it's revealed). You can see this changing height: 50px; to height: 7em; on the .line {} rule (the example image I've used it higher than the container).
This a really basic example. The markup depends on the design. If you need something more accurate (like: you need that the line starts and ends in specific spot), you should probably use absolute/relative positions.
I've put a little demo of the problem I'm trying to debug here: http://jsfiddle.net/bvDBb/7/.
The text-indent works as expected (or at least the way I expect it to) in Chrome, Firefox and Opera - it indents the first line of the text and then performs the wrapping again to keep the padding correct.
However, when viewed in Safari (5.1.7 on OS X 10.7.4) instead of wrapping the text, it creates a horizontal scrollbar and just moves the first line to the right - and with a large enough indentation, part of the line gets hidden and you have to scroll to see it.
Is that a bug in Safari, or am I just lucky that the rest of the browsers support it?
EDIT:
As Keith's idea of adding a <p></p> around the text fixes the layout (at least on Safari, haven't tried FF on Win), the question remains more like: what is the correct behavior and why?
try adding overflow-x:hidden; under overflow-y:auto; in .content
You should be using the actual CSS property text-indent for a text-indent like this. Such as:
<div class="contentWrapper">
<div class="content" style="text-indent: 100px;">
<img src="image.jpg" alt="some image" />
<p class="indent-me">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec porta mattis lectus, in fringilla magna posuere vitae.</p>
</div>
</div>
p.indent-me {
text-indent:30px;
}
use 'em' instead of 'px'
text-indent:30em;
You can try the following, it works perfect both on desktop and mobile Safari.
input::-webkit-input-placeholder, textarea::-webkit-input-placeholder {
text-indent: 30px;
}
Given the following HTML:
<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore
</p>
And the following CSS:
p {
border: 1px solid red;
width: 200px;
text-align: right;
white-space: nowrap;
}
What would the expected rendering be? I was expecting the text to butt up against the right hand side of the para and overflow off to the left. Observed results in Fx/Safari/Opera butt the text to the left and overflow to the right though. The same problem is observed with text-align:center; I’d expect the text to overflow equally to both sides.
CSS2.1 and CSS3 Text don’t seem to specify the rendering.
Test link: http://www.webdevout.net/test?0e&raw
I was able to get the result you were after using the direction property, e.g.
p {
direction: rtl;
border: 1px solid red;
width: 200px;
text-align: right;
white-space: nowrap;
}
That worked in current versions of Firefox, Safari and IE.
The "Inline Formatting Context" section of the CSS 2.1 spec says:
When the total width of the inline
boxes on a line is less than the width
of the line box containing them, their
horizontal distribution within the
line box is determined by the
'text-align' property. If that
property has the value 'justify', the
user agent may stretch spaces and
words in inline boxes (except for
inline-table and inline-block boxes)
as well.
When an inline box exceeds the width
of a line box, it is split into
several boxes and these boxes are
distributed across several line boxes.
If an inline box cannot be split
(e.g., if the inline box contains a
single character, or language specific
word breaking rules disallow a break
within the inline box, or if the
inline box is affected by a
white-space value of nowrap or pre),
then the inline box overflows the line
box.
So, the text-align property is only used in cases where the line box length is less than the block width. If the line box is wider than its containing element then the text-align property isn't considered.
You can create outside envelope container limiting size
and inner element showing content floated to right, like:
HTML:
<div>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore.</p>
</div>
CSS:
DIV {
width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid red;
}
P {
float: right;
white-space: nowrap;
}
In react to Olly Hodgson's idea:
direction: rtl;
is throwing interpunction from end of sentence (from right) as first char (to left) (Google Chrome v. 38)
Oh, I have encountered this before.
The align:right only affects the content within the box, any overflow is ALWAYS left aligned, only reversing the direction of the text with "direction" can change that.
I have a row of divs that must all be the same height, but I have no way of knowing what that height might be ahead of time (the content comes from an external source). I initially tried placing the divs in an enclosing div and floated them left. I then set their height to be "100%", but this had no perceptible effect. By setting the height on the enclosing div to a fixed-height I could then get the floated divs to expand, but only up to the fixed height of the container. When the content in one of the divs exceeded the fixed height, it spilled over; the floated divs refused to expand.
I Googled this floated-divs-of-the-same-height problem and apparently there's no way to do it using CSS. So now I am trying to use a combination of relative and absolute positioning instead of floats. This is the CSS:
<style type="text/css">
div.container {
background: #ccc;
position: relative;
min-height: 10em;
}
div.a {
background-color: #aaa;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 40%;
}
div.b {
background-color: #bbb;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 41%;
bottom: 0px;
width: 40%;
}
</style>
This is a simplified version of the HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="a">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Integer pretium dui sit amet felis. Integer sit amet diam. Phasellus ultrices viverra velit.</div>
<div class="b">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Integer pretium dui sit amet felis. Integer sit amet diam. Phasellus ultrices viverra velit. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Integer pretium dui sit amet felis. Integer sit amet diam. Phasellus ultrices viverra velit.</div>
</div>
This works, unless you change the min-height to something like 5em (demonstranting what happens when the content exceeds the minimum height), and you can see that while the text doesn't get cutoff, the divs still refuse to expand. Now I am at a lose. Is there any way to do this using CSS?
Here is one of those moments where you can get stuck between being idealistic or realistic. I understand that there is no semantic value to placing non-tabular data in a table strictly for formatting reasons but I don't want to see you bending over backwards to create a non-tabular solution to this problem simply for its own sake.
I am the first to shoot down non-semantic designs, trust me, but sometimes you need to face the fact that CSS + semantic markup does not work for all design scenarios. I don't know the accessibility needs of this site but I would recommend that you look to a more practical solution to this problem.
Cheers to you for approaching this the right way and looking for the proper way to solve it! Unfortunately this is one of the dark corners of CSS (along with vertical positioning within a block) that is just plain impossible to do without faux columns, javascript, or table cells.
Whichever you choose, please don't adhere to a standard for its own sake.
Making them exactly the same height can be a tricky thing, but if they just have to appear to be the same height, you may want to look at the faux columns technique.
I have tried a few other methods, but this is the most reliable way I have found of getting the effect, apart from using tables of course.
OK, the table thing turned out to be a little trickier than I thought it would be. It turns out the Javascript solution is actually the simplest (for my situation), since my app is an AJAX app and the framework uses Prototype.js. All it takes is a few lines of JS:
$$('div.container').each(function (element) {
var longest = 0;
element.descendants().each(function (child) {
if (child.getHeight() > longest)
longest = child.getHeight();
});
element.descendants().each(function (child) {
child.style.height = longest + 'px';
});
});
Thanks again for the help.
You can use JavaScript, but of course it will break without JavaScript enabled. Then there's tables, but this ruins the point of CSS. Perhaps seanb's answer could work, place a background image that creates the illusion that all columns go to the bottom. This is known as the faux background technique.
Or sit tight and wait for display: table-cell to be supported for all/most browsers.
Thanks for the answers, guys. I don't think the background image will work because the widths of the columns can also vary depending on how many columns there are (the user can change it). I guess I'll use tables :(
if your looking for a purely css option, and you can seperate the background of the block from the content then the answer is two have two bits of code for each block, one for the content, one for the background. this is how it's done:
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="content" id='one>
<div class="content" id="two>
<div class="content" id="three>
<div class="background" id="back-one">
<div class="background" id="back-two">
<div class="background" id="back-three">
</div>
Position the content divs using floats. Then position the backgrounds using absolute positioning (and a z-index to put them behind)
This works because the floats can set the height, and the absolutely positioned elements can have 100% height. It's a little bit messy, but does the job.
