First of all, I do apologize I don't put my link here, it's a site for work and I'm not allowed. I'll post the relevant parts of my code if necessary though.
So the problem is pretty basic - i have one div with some images, and a header <h3> below where my content starts . No matter how much I try to create some space between the two, it doesn't work. I've tried margin and padding on both elements, changing between position relative and absolute, and throwing in lots of <br> tags. Nothing works!
What causes my two elements to be so attracted to each other? What may cause inability to create space between two elements?
Thanks!
Edit: here's my css code for the div:
.bmwrapper {
width: 720px;
position: relative;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
z-index: 1;
}
.bmvenstre {
float: left;
text-align: left;
z-index: 1;
}
.bmhoyre {
float: right;
text-align: left;
z-index: 1;
}
So it's one big div that acts as a wrapper, and two divs (left and right) inside. The links are displayed as blocks:
a.bmlink {
display: block;
margin: 0;
padding: 4px;
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
letter-spacing: 2px;
color: #08A;
text-decoration: none;
z-index: 2;
}
The header below this div is just a <h3> tag, then there's some text. Hope this helps!
You can try 2 things:
1) Put the elements overflow:hidden
2) put the elemnts display:block
If number 2 messes up with your design, try putting them float:left;
Since I don't have the code I can't give you more information, but when margins/paddings do not work, it is usually because you are either applying it to an Inline item (hence number 2) or you have a container where everything inside is floating, so the container won't have the proper height (hence number 1)
Sounds like margin collapse. Here are a couple of ways you could solve this:
Give your content div a transparent border or give your content div the css declaration of overflow: auto;
Some people when they give it a 1px border they also give it a -1px margin to counter the border.

So, I've managed to make this CSS work, but I'm not 100% sure why it does. I know that's the classic programmer's scenario. I'd like to know why it does, though, so that I can get better.
Here are the two JSfiddle cases (they're exactly the same but with one line different):
With display:block
With float:left
As you can see, the important line of CSS:
.name::before {
content: '';
background: purple;
position: relative;
float: left; /* OR -display: block;- */
height: 22px; width: 100%;
margin-top: -22px; margin-left: -11px;
padding: 0 0px 0 22px;
}
With display:block, the pseudo-element matches the width of the main element (including the borders and padding. However, with float:left, the pseudo-element actually extends the width of the main element; if you change the padding-left to 11px, the increased width disappears, but the ::before stops short and doesn't include the main element's padding+border. This makes me think that inline elements affect other elements that it doesn't share a line with, as long as they're in the same container. Is that right?
Oddly, if you make change the padding to padding: 0 11px, it doesn't extend the right side of the ::before to the edge of the main element like I thought it would. Why is that?
Thanks!
My opinion is:
display: block;
only display the element in block,
while
float: left;
does push the element to the very left of its parents.
If you want to have all the elements to be in one line,
try to use display: inline;
I'm trying to style my headings with display:inline-block; but i've a problem with a behavior of the property.
Jsfiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/Tu2GU/
See the titles, when a title has a long text, the heading goes under the floated div. I want the heading to break and then display 2 lines (or more) and stay on the left of the floated div, not under it.
Can't find anything helping, thanks !
edit : i updated the jsfiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/Tu2GU/13/ (removed % width for the floated div)
I don't want to have 2 divs side by side, the floated div on the right is meant to be right there, like a page summary giving link inside the page.
Also, heading are under the floated div (in html code) not over.
Since the right list uses a percent width, you can set a max-width with a percent width
h2 {
... Your original CSS ...
max-width:calc(75% - 40px); /* 40px comes from horizontal padding */
}
Demo
I'd recommend using a class to apply to each header instead of using the same max-width on each h1, h2, etc, but that's just personal preference
If the width of the right floated div is set, use calc(100% - 440px) or whatever the left horizontal padding + right width is
Create a float: left; container using the CSS below:
.lfloat {
float: left;
width: 75%;
}
You just have to wrap your text in a new div:
<div class="lfloat">
<!-- content -->
</div>
Demo
This will contain the content to the left and keep your sidebar to the right.
Note: You must clear your floats with clear: both;.
Why not try floating the elements on the left instead of using inline-block?
* {
font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 1em;
}
.rfloat {
float: right;
width: 25%;
background: #9C3;
color: #111;
}
h1 {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px 5%;
background: #06C;
color: #FFF;
}
h2 {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px 5%;
background: #F33;
color: #FFF;
width:65%;
}

updated your Jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Tu2GU/12/
Main thing was a wrapping div around your h1 and p tag alongside of display:inline-block and vertical-align:top
Is this what you needed?
You have a few options. You can float the heading to the left so that it will slide up - you will have to set a width, though.
h2 {
float: left;
width: 80%;
}
Another option would be to set a max width. Since inline-block elements are technically block level, you can supply a width without breaking anything. You could try this:
h2 {
max-width: 80%
}
Yet another option would be to make the element inline. This will let the browser determine the best fit for the header.
h2 {
display: inline;
}
This will make the header wrap around the list and you may get the results you want. This method will make height and width parameters not work, so you will have to substitute those for line-height and padding
I'm trying to figure out how to get the text No Managers in Database vertically positioned in the containing div like the input elements are.
I tried adding padding and margin, but they didn't work. Any thoughts on how this could be accomplished?
http://jsfiddle.net/SKTRn/
CSS
#none {
display: block;
font-size: 12px;
margin: 7px 0;
padding: 5px 0;
}
Basically, you just have to add display: block; to your CSS. I just took the liberty of changing the other styles to line things up a little better (and get the font the same size as the inputs).
I have a Span tag containing a IMG tag and another Span tag.
I would like the inner Span tag to be aligned to the left and the IMG tag to be centrally aligned plus I want both the tags to be vertically aligned in the middle, and I can't seem to get this right...
This is how it looks (It's blue because the outer Span tag is marked in FireBug to show that it's stretching the entire surface):
As you can see in the image, both tags are centred and they are also aligned in the top of the container, I don't want either of this.
This is the markup:
This is the current CSS of the tags:
.v-button-wrap {
height: 100%;
display: block;
padding: 6px 15px 0 9px;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: normal;
text-align: center;
}
.v-icon {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: normal;
text-align: center;
}
.v-button-caption {
text-align: left;
line-height: normal;
vertical-align: middle;
}
I left out the CSS that isn't relevant for my problem, colors, font-specs and such. Needless to say I'm no ace at CSS. And I've looked up several guides covering the problem, but I've only managed to find examples where the entire content of a div is centered, and that's not what I want.
Does anyone with good CSS knowledge see the problem in my code? Or have another solution to solve my problem..?
Thanks!
EDIT: Here's a screen shot of the entire layout due to request. Sorry I have to blur some things... but they are in either case not important. =)
EDIT2: I did manage to solve my problem using the following CSS:
.v-button-details-panel-header .v-button-wrap {
height: 100%;
text-align: inherit;
padding: 0px;
}
.v-button-details-panel-header .v-button-wrap .v-button-caption {
display: table-cell;
position: relative;
text-align: left;
}
.v-button-details-panel-header .v-button-wrap .v-icon {
display: table-cell;
position: relative;
top: 12px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
I'm sure the advice dgvid proposed would have been good for a static layout. But since the panels and horizontally stretched buttons move depending on expansion and collapsing that wasn't a fitting solution.
You might need to set the CSS display property of both your img and span.v_button_caption to inline-block.
See also this article: Understanding vertical-align, or "How (Not) To Vertically Center Content"
As for another technique to achieve the desired result: If you know the height of the container element and you know the height of the element to be centered (and unfortunately from the CSS you've posted, it does not appear that you do), then you could
Give the container element CSS property `position: relative'
Give the element-to-be-centered CSS property position: absolute
Set the CSS top property of the element-to-be-centered to (containerHeight / 2) - (centeredEltHeight / 2).
I want to do so the size of the bubble, is auto-adjusting after the text(comment) which is inside the div..
Firstly heres the code:
.bubble {
font-size: 12px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.bubble blockquote {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: 1px solid #c9c2c1;
background-color: #000;
}
.bubble blockquote p {
display: inline;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
font-size: 18px;
}
.bubble cite {
position: absolute;
margin: 0px;
padding: 7px 0px 0px 15px;
top: 5px;
background: transparent url(b/tip.gif) no-repeat 20px 0;
font-style: normal;
}
And the page:
<div class="bubble">
<blockquote>
<p>
Hello, my name is Azzyh
</p>
</blockquote>
<cite>I wrote this today</cite>
</div>
Now as i said, i want it to auto adjust to the text, so the "bubble" is around "hello, my name is azzyh"..
Not like how it is now:
http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8303/exampleu.png
As you see it goes all out to the browser's right+left end..
Check the image, you'll see the line (the "box") where the text is, are too big for the text. I want css to adjust the box after the text.. so the "lines" gets around the text "hello my name is" sorry for my english
See this image:
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6057/exampleph.png
The "red" is how i want it to be..
How can i do this?
Thanks
div elements are block-level elements that, by default, stretch as far to the left and right as their containing blocks will allow.
In order to get the width of the div to auto-adjust, you'll have to convert it to an inline element, using the same style as you put on the p: display: inline;
Note that this may have the unintended side effect of not automatically forcing each div onto a new line. Without more information, though, I'm not entirely sure if that would be good or bad in your layout.
A similar problem I had was solved by applying the following CSS:
display:inline-block;
I wanted a link to look like a button but not expand the background to fill the width of the containing DIV.
Supported in nearly all browsers, including partial support in IE6 and IE7 but only where element has 'inline' as a default. There are some alternative properties to gain cross-browser support. There is also something on Google Code for setInlineBlock, but I haven't tried this myself.
Move your border property
border: 1px solid #c9c2c1;
from
.bubble blockquote {}
into your
.bubble blockquote p {}
and that should put the box where you want it.
