I have 3 spans inside a div.
<div class="align">
<span class="a">Title</span>
<span class="b">Someinfomation</span>
<span class="c">Toright</span>
</div>
for making the c class to align vertically, I have to use margin-top to fix it
however, for IE7 looks differently.
Here is online sample: http://jsfiddle.net/wZmGQ/
Yes, I want IE7 works as well.
If someone could help me with a better solution?Thanks
Solution is shown below, for someone who looks for IE7 solution
Got the answer from float: right in IE7 dropping to a new line
Try to small change markup: place items with a float before items
without it (from the same row). It should help.
Whenever you float an element, you are implicitly declaring display:block. So when you write the following code:
.some-element {
display: inline-block;
float: right;
}
... is the same exact thing as doing this:
.some-element {
display: inline-block;
display: block;
float: right;
}
... but I realize that doesn't help you much. Check out this fiddle, sorry I can't test in IE7 at the moment, but see if this helps get you in the right direction:
http://jsfiddle.net/ryanwheale/wZmGQ/3/
Essentially this:
.align{
border: 1px solid black;
line-height: 35px; /* larger than your largest font size */
}
.a, .b, .c {
vertical-align: middle;
}

Im having problem vertically aligning a text with CSS. I have tried probably everything but it just doesnt want to work. You can see my demo jsfiddle demo here:
http://jsfiddle.net/zcU7M/7/
.section {
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
display:table-cell;
}
With this code it should work but something is wrong.
How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Updated demo: http://jsfiddle.net/zcU7M/7/
Write:
.section {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
Updated Fiddle.
The .section needs the display: table-cell
.section {
height: 200px;
background:#ccc;
border-bottom: 1px solid #dcdcdc;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
display:table-cell;
}
The display:table-cell is what allows an element to have children vertically aligned, so it has to be on the parent to be able to have the children aligned vertically.
Here's a Working Demo.
For a vertical paragraph align use that:
p {
height:200px;
line-height:200px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align: middle;
}
JSFiddle example: Exemple
The problem is, that the <p>-Tag just adds some margin at the bottom. You can see this, when inspecting with firebug. Simply add a margin: 0 to your .section p selector:
.section p {
font-size: 15px;
font-family: Arial;
font-style: italic;
margin: 0;
}

by reading above article I crated a demo fiddle also.
With just 3 lines of CSS (excluding vendor prefixes) we can with the help of transform: translateY vertically center whatever we want, even if we don’t know its height.
The CSS property transform is usally used for rotating and scaling elements, but with its translateY function we can now vertically align elements. Usually this must be done with absolute positioning or setting line-heights, but these require you to either know the height of the element or only works on single-line text etc.
So, to do this we write:
.element {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
That’s all you need. It is a similar technique to the absolute-position method, but with the upside that we don’t have to set any height on the element or position-property on the parent. It works straight out of the box, even in IE9!
To make it even more simple, we can write it as a mixin with its vendor prefixes:
I have a square div of fixed size and wish to place an arbitrary size image inside so that it is centred both horizontally and vertically, using CSS. Horizontally is easy:
.container { text-align: center }
For the vertical, the common solution is:
.container {
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
}
img {
vertical-align: middle;
}
But this is not perfect, depending on the font size, the image will be around 2-4px too far down.
To my understanding, this is because the "middle" used for vertical-align is not really the middle, but a particular position on the font that is close to the middle. A (slightly hacky) workaround would be:
container {
font-size: 0;
}
and this works in Chrome and IE7, but not IE8. We are hoping to make all font lines the same point, in the middle, but it seems to be hit-and-miss depending on the browser and, probably, the font used.
The only solution I can think of is to hack the line-height, making it slightly shorter, to make the image appear in the right location, but it seems extremely fragile. Is there a better solution?
See a demo of all three solutions here:
http://jsfiddle.net/usvrj/3/
Those without IE8 may find this screenshot useful:
If css3 is an option, then flexbox does a good job at vertical and horizontal aligning:
UPDATED FIDDLE
.container {
display:flex;
align-items: center; /* align vertical */
justify-content: center; /* align horizontal */
}
How about using your image as a background? This way you could center it consistently everywhere. Something along these lines:
margin:5px;
padding:0;
background:url(http://dummyimage.com/50) no-repeat center center red;
height:60px;
width:60px;
This is REALLY hacky, but it is what we used to do in the ie6 days.
.container {
position: relative;
}
img {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-top: -12px; // half of whatever the image's height is, assuming 24px
margin-left: -12px; // half of whatever the image's width is, assuming 24px
}
I may be missing something in this example, but you get the idea.
Have you tried the following:
img {
display: block;
line-height: 0;
}
I usually use this hack, but I haven't really checked it that thoroughly in IE8.
Here is a small JS Fiddle I have made: http://jsfiddle.net/rachit5/Ge4YH/
I believe it matches your requirement.
HTML:
<div>
<img src=""/>
</div>
CSS:
div{height:400px;width:400px;position:relative;border:1px solid #000;}
img{position:absolute;top:0;left:0;right:0;bottom:0;margin:auto;}
I'm trying to build the liquid layout shown below in CSS.
The left column should stretch to all available space, and if it's possible, on same line.The column on right should became with the same width.
I have already achieved a result very close to what I want. Take a look at http://jsfiddle.net/tcWCC/34/embedded/result/
But there are two problems. The height of both aligned DIVs should be equal. The first or second DIV should grow to be the same height as the other.
The second question is that when the width is not sufficient for 2 DIVs, I want the first (NomeEvento) div to be on top. and not the second div (DataEvento).
I am not sure I understood your question correctly. Is the following layout something similar to what you want? http://jsfiddle.net/5sjgf/
Here's more CSS to try out. If you wanted a margin on that left side. I added background colors to help differentiate.
div.NomeEvento {
text-align: left;
float: left;
width: 75%;
background-color: #eee;
}
div.DataEvento {
text-align: left;
margin-left: 5%;
width: 20%;
float:left;
background-color: #ccc;
}
It seems like a lot of extraneous CSS to me. But maybe the other stuff is in there for a reason. This works fine as the sum-total of your CSS though:
div.Evento {
overflow: hidden;
margin-top: 10px;
}
div.NomeEvento {
background: #eee;
padding-right: 20%; /* the same as the right column width */
}
div.DataEvento {
float:right;
background: #ddd;
}
...BUT, if you're right-floating an element, place it first in the layout - here it's element class DataEvento:
<div class="Evento">
<div class="DataEvento">#evento.Data</div>
<div class="NomeEvento">#evento.Nome</div>
</div>

I acomplished what I want using display table, table row and table cell in my divs.
Take a look. It's exactily what I want.

What's the best way to align icons (left) and text (right) or the opposite text on left and icon on right?
Does the icon image and text have to be the same size? Ideally I would like them to be different but be on the same vertical alignment.
I am using background-position css property to get the icons from a larger image.
Here is how I do it now, but I am struggling with either getting them to be on the same line or be vertically aligned to the bottom.
Text
This is what I get after I try your suggestions.
Though the text is now aligned with the icon, it is superimposed over the icon to the right of the icon that I want. Please note that i am using the background position to show the icon from a larger set of images.
Basically I am getting
<icon><10px><text_and_unwanted_icon_to_the_right_under_it>
<span class="group3_drops_icon group3_l_icon" style="">50</span>
group3_drops_icon {
background-position:-50px -111px;
}
.group3_l_icon {
-moz-background-clip:border;
-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;
-moz-background-origin:padding;
background:transparent url(/images/group3.png) no-repeat scroll left center;
height:35px;
overflow:hidden;
padding-left:55px;
}
I usually use background:
<style type="text/css">
.icon {
background-image: url(path/to/my/icon.jpg);
background-position: left center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-left: 16px; /* Or size of icon + spacing */
}
</style>
<span class="icon">Some text here</span>
You can do it on the same line using vertical-align and line-height
<p style='line-height: 30px'>
<img src='icon.gif' style='vertical-align: middle' />Icon Text
</p>
Alternatively, you can go the background approach with no-repeat and positioning:
span.icontext {
background: transparent url(icon.gif) no-repeat inherit left center;
padding-left: 10px /* at least the width of the icon */
}
<span class="icontext">
Icon Text
</span>
Sadly, neither of these answers are bullet proof and each have one big flaw.
#rossipedia
I used to implement all my icons this way and it works quite well. But, and this is a big but, it does not work with sprites, since you're using the background-position property to position the icon inside the container that includes your text.
And not using sprites where you can is bad for performance and SEO, making them imperative for any good modern website.
#Jamie Wong
The first solution has two markup flaws. Using elements semantically correctly is sadly underrated by some, but you'll see the benefits in prioritizing form in your search engine ranking. So first of all, you shouldn't use a p-tag when the content is not a paragraph. Use span instead. Secondly, the img-tag is meant for content only. In very specific cases, you might have to ignore this rule, but this isn't one of them.
My Solution:
I won't lie to you, I've checked in a lot of places in my time and IMHO there is no optimal solution. These two solutions are the ones that come closest to that, though:
Inline-Block Solution
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="icon"></div>
<span class="content">Hello</span>
</div>
CSS:
.container {
margin-top: 50px;
}
.container .icon {
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
background: #000;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.container .content {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
"display:inline-block;" is a beautiful thing. You can do so much with it and it plays very nicely with responsive design.
But it depends on your client. Inline-Block does not work well with IE6, IE7 and still causes problems with IE8. I personally no longer support IE6 and 7, but IE8 is still out there. If your client really needs his website to be usable in IE8, inline-block is sadly no option. Assess this first. Replace the black background of the icon-element with your sprite, position it, throw no-repeat in there and voilà, there you have it.
Oh yeah, and as a plus, you can align the text any way you want with vertical-align.
P.S.: I am aware that there's an empty HTML-tag in there, if anyone has a suggestion as to how to fill it, I'd be thankful.
Fixed Height Solution
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
line-height: 0;
height: 0;
}
.clearfix {
display: inline-block;
}
html[xmlns] .clearfix {
display: block;
}
* html .clearfix {
height: 1%;
}
.container {
margin-top: 50px;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
.container .icon {
height: 30px;
width: 30px;
background: #000;
float:left;
}
.container .content {
line-height: 30px;
float: left;
display: block;
}
I hate this one. It uses a fixed line height for the text, and if you choose the same height as the Icon's box, the text is centered to that height. To align the text to the top, cut the line height, and as to the bottom, you'll have to fix that with position: absolute and a fixed width and height for the container. I'm not going to get into that unless someone requests it, because it's a whole issue for itself, and brings with it a lot of disadvantages.
The main disadvantage of this path is the fixed height. Fixed heights are always unflexible and especially with text, it can cause a bunch of problems (You can no longer scale the text as a user without it being cut off, plus different browsers render text differently). So be sure that in no browser the text is cut off and that it has some wiggle room inside its line height.
P.S.: Don't forget the clearfix for the container. And, of course, replace the black background with your sprite and according position + no-repeat.
Conclusion
Use inline-block if at all possible. ;) If it's not, breath deeply and try the second solution.
Total noob question, but here.
CSS
.product__specfield_8_arrow {
/*background-image:url(../../upload/orng_bg_arrow.png);
background-repeat:no-repeat;*/
background-color:#fc0;
width:50px !important;
height:33px !important;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
border-left:none;
border-radius:5px;
-moz-border-radius:5px;
-webkit-border-radius:5px;
border-bottom-left-radius:0px;
border-top-left-radius:0px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft:0px;
-moz-border-radius-topleft:0px;

}
HTML
<span class="product__specfield_8_arrow"> </span>
Fiddle
Basically I'm trying to emulate a button, make a span (or something) look like a button next to an input field that actually doesn't need to be one because of an auto fill generator that generates errors onEnter. Thought this'd be a quick fix for now but obviously not.
Thanks.
Span is an inline element. It has no width or height.
You could turn it into a block-level element, then it will accept your dimension directives.
span.product__specfield_8_arrow
{
display: inline-block; /* or block */
}
Try using a div instead of the span or using the CSS display: block; or display: inline-block;—span is by default an inline element which cannot take width and height properties.
Inspired from #Hamed, I added the following and it worked for me:
display: inline-block; overflow: hidden;
Span takes width and height only when we make it block element.
span {display:block;}
As per comment from #Paul, If display: block is specified, span stops to be an inline element and an element after it appears on next line.
I came here to find solution to my span height problem and I got a solution of my own
Adding overflow:hidden; and keeing it inline will solve the problem just tested in IE8 Quirks mode
spans are by default displayed inline, which means they don't have a height and width.
Try adding a display: block to your span.
Span starts out as an inline element. You can change its display attribute to block, for instance, and its height/width attributes will start to take effect.
Use this all problem solve way
Try it..
span.product__specfield_8_arrow
{
display: inline-block;
}
span {display:block;} also adds a line-break.
To avoid that, use span {display:inline-block;} and then you can add width and height to the inline element, and you can align it within the block as well:
span {
display:inline-block;
width: 5em;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: center
}
more here
There are now multiple ways to mimic this same effect but further tailor the properties based on the use case. As stated above, this works:
.product__specfield_8_arrow { display: inline-block }
but also
.product__specfield_8_arrow { display: inline-flex } // flex container will be inline
.product__specfield_8_arrow { display: inline-grid } // grid container will be inline
.product__specfield_8_arrow { display: inline-table } // table will be inline-level table
This JSFiddle shows how similar these display properties are in this case.
For a relevant discussion please see this SO post.
The way I deal with this is to use a borderless, read-only input tag and then you can set the attributes as desired:
<input type="text" readonly
style="border:none; background-color: transparent; width:200px; margin-top:10px; padding-left: 10px;"
[value]="statusMessage">
