How can I vertically align .link a (the button) within .link without giving a height or width? Like this...
Here's my fiddle
Here is one way that you can do it. Your HTML is good, no need to change anything.
For the CSS:
.body { width: 920px; }
.banner {
background-color: #454545;
border-bottom: 3px solid #F9F9F9;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 0 5px;
padding: 0;
display: table;
}
.banner > div {
outline: 1px dotted yellow; /* optional to show cell edges... */
display: table-cell;
}
.banner .name {
width: 25%;
vertical-align: top;
padding-top: 25px; /* control top white space */
text-align: center;
}
.banner .name h2 {
color: #F9F9F9;
max-height: 55px;
text-transform: uppercase;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .title {
width: 50%;
vertical-align: top;
padding-top: 25px;
}
.banner .title h3 {
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: bold;
line-height: 15px;
margin: 0px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .title p {
font-size: 12px;
max-height: 35px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.banner .link {
width: 25%;
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left; /* set to left, center or right as needed */
}
.banner .link a {
margin-left: 25px; /* controls left offset */
background-color: #FA9800;
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
cursor: pointer;
display: inline-block; /* use inline-block if you want to center element */
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
height: 23px;
line-height: 23px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
width: 100px;
}
See the fiddle at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/jsG8F/
How This Works
The trick is to use display: table on your .banner container and then display: table-cell on your child div elements, and set the % widths to 25%, 50%, 25% respectively for .name, .title, .link.
You can then use vertical-align and text-align to control vertical and horizontal placement of the various text blocks.
I added comments related to using padding-top to control white space from the top of the banner.
For the .link a element, you can adjust the left margin (or right) as needed.
These CSS rules offer you a lot of fine control over the placement of the various elements within the banner.
Backwards Compatibility
The display: table-cell property is backwards compatible back to IE8.
Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display
If the size of the element and banner are fixed, use margin-top to offset the element.
Marc Audet was very close but I ended up going a slightly different route.
I gave .link a a fixed top margin and made margin-left: auto; and margin-right: auto; and that did the trick.
Here is the fiddle for reference.

I am dealing with text blocks (background blocks over text) and face some issues with paddings on new line. The problem occurs when the browser(e.g. mobile) cuts the text into to two lines due to lack of width. text then looks like this:
I don't really know how to set a padding css on the end of the new lines, since it could break up anywhere of the sentence. You could say put a span on it with padding, but it is not fixed where the line will break down. It depends on the width. Any recommendations?
You could apply display: inline-block but that will turn the background color into an ugly box which doesn't look as nice as having an exact width background for each line. Unfortunately CSS doesn't let us target individual lines except for the first one.
If you don't mind getting a little "creative" (or hacky) you could wrap each word in its own element in the backend or using JavaScript and apply the background color to those elements. Adjust the parent's word-spacing accordingly to eliminate gaps.
.main {
font-family: sans-serif;
font-weight: bold;
background-color: #99c;
display: flex;
height: 400px;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
}
.text-container {
max-width: 500px;
display: inline-block;
word-spacing: -15px;
position: relative;
padding-left: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.text-container::before {
content: '';
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 20px;
height: 100%;
z-index: 1;
}
span {
font-size: 36px;
line-height: 1.5em;
color: white;
background-color: black;
padding: 0.25em 0.5em 0.25em 0;
max-width: 360px;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="text-container">
<span>A</span> <span>Movie</span> <span>in</span> <span>the</span> <span>park:</span> <span>Kung</span> <span>Fu</span> <span>Panda</span>
</div>
</div>
You can use box-shadow for this issue and display inline:
<div class="text">
<span class="text-container">A Movie in the park: Kung Fu Panda</span>
</div>
And css:
.text > span {
display: inline;
box-shadow: 25px 0 0 black, -10px 0 0 black;
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
Try to add after "Park:" and before "Kung"
padding workded!!!
change width by console browser and see result:
h1{
background-color: #ff6a6a;
padding: 33px;
display: inline-block;
word-wrap: break-word;
width:300px
}
<h1>rert ert erttttttttttttttt 00000000000000000000 dfgdfgd dfgdfgdft ertert </h1>
Use <p> tag to wrap up the text and it apparently works demo
<div class="main">
<div class="text-container">
<p id="test">A Movie in the park: Kung Fu Panda</p>
</div>

I have 2 questions based on the linked(or above) code.
The 5 container div's width was set as:
.itemnumber 6%, .userprofile 14%, .nameandcredit 45%, .ranktitle 15%, .usercredit 20%. So in total they are 100%. But as you see, the last one .usercredit is not in the same line and there're margins between each div, which is not what I want.
for the .username, I have set overflow:hidden, but as you see, when there's a large string, the .username was totally disappeared. If there're spaces in the string, it will only hide the overflow part and show the front part. I want to know what's the problem?
I know it's a little bit messed up of a lot code here. But my question is as listed as above. Thanks in advance for any kind suggestion.
For the spacing, you have two problems:
Implicit spaces between inline-block elements, and
Defining widths for elements with padding.
Regarding username overflow, you have one issue:
Default word wrapping behavior is to wrap the whole word to the next line. You need to change that behavior.
Let's take a look at each of them:
Implicit Spaces
The problem is that your divs have a display: inline-block; style. Elements displayed as an inline-block have any white-space between them converted to a single space.
See the "Fighting the Space Between Inline Block Elements" article on CSS Tricks for more information on how to overcome this.
One fix, for instance, is to have the li element that is wrapping the divs to have a 0 font-size, and reset a non-zero font size to its children, e.g. in your CSS:
.font-size-0 {
font-size: 0;
}
.font-size-0 > * {
font-size: 12px;
}
Any of the links outlined in the link above would work; for example, removing spaces and newlines between your closing tag and opening tag would do the same thing, without forcing you to set and reset the font-size.
Widths for elements with padding
In CSS, a width is defined by default for an element to include only its content area (box-sizing: content-box; by default) and not the padding. Set the box-sizing to border-box and you'll be all set.
E.g.
.font-size-0 > div {
box-sizing: border-size;
}
Properly wrapping a single word without spaces
See this StackOverflow answer to see how to address the issue. You will basically need to add this to your .username rule:
.username {
...
word-wrap:break-word;
}
Final Result jsFiddle
Im trying to make a line after each of my h2 tags. I can´t figure out how I should tell the width, cause the lenght of the h2 headlines is differ from h2 to h2.
I use the :after method to create lines
h2:after {
position: absolute;
content: "";
height: 2px;
background-color: #242424;
width: 50%;
margin-left: 15px;
top: 50%;
}
Check code here: http://jsfiddle.net/s9gHf/
As you can see the line get too wide, and make the website too wide.
You could achieve this with an extra <span>:
h2 {
font-size: 1rem;
position: relative;
}
h2 span {
background-color: white;
padding-right: 10px;
}
h2:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 0.5em;
border-top: 1px solid black;
z-index: -1;
}
<h2><span>Featured products</span></h2>
<h2><span>Here is a very long h2, and as you can see the line get too wide</span></h2>
Another solution without the extra <span> but requires an overflow: hidden on the <h2>:
h2 {
font-size: 1rem;
overflow: hidden;
}
h2:after {
content: "";
display: inline-block;
height: 0.5em;
vertical-align: bottom;
width: 100%;
margin-right: -100%;
margin-left: 10px;
border-top: 1px solid black;
}
<h2><span>Featured products</span></h2>
<h2><span>Here is a very long h2, and as you can see the line get too wide</span></h2>

There's no need for extra wrappers or span elements anymore. Flexbox and Grid can handle this easily.
h2 {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
h2::after {
content: '';
flex: 1;
margin-left: 1rem;
height: 1px;
background-color: #000;
}
<h2>Heading</h2>
using flexbox:
h2 {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
h2 span {
content: "";
flex: 1 1 auto;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
<h2>Title <span></span></h2>
Here is another, in my opinion even simpler solution using a flex wrapper:
.wrapper {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.line {
border-top: 1px solid grey;
flex-grow: 1;
margin: 0 10px;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<p>Text</p>
<div class="line"></div>
</div>
External link
I notice that there are some flexbox implementations but they don't explain why and how to use it.
First, we just need one element, for this example h2.
We will change the element's display behavior to display: flex
Then, we center vertically its child elements using align-items: center.
h2 {
...
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
Then, let's draw the line using the pseudo-element after.
We add '' to the content property to draw the element (we must).
Now lets make it flexible using flex: auto. This means that our element is sized according to its width and height properties. It grows to absorb any extra free space in the flex container, and shrinks to its minimum size to fit the container. This is equivalent to setting flex: 1 1 auto.
Then we add an small gap between the text and the line using margin-left: 1rem.
Finally, we draw a black line using border-top: 1px solid #000.
h2::after {
content: '';
flex: auto;
margin-left: 1rem;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
Here is functional snippet.
h2 {
font-size: 1em; /* not needed */
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
h2::after {
content: '';
flex: auto;
margin-left: 1rem;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
<h2>Normal title</h2>
<h2>Very long title to test the behavior of the element when the content is wider</h2>
This is the most easy way I found to achieve the result: Just use hr tag before the text, and set the margin top for text. Very short and easy to understand! jsfiddle
h2 {
background-color: #ffffff;
margin-top: -22px;
width: 25%;
}
hr {
border: 1px solid #e9a216;
}
<br>
<hr>
<h2>ABOUT US</h2>
Here is how I do this:
http://jsfiddle.net/Zz7Wq/2/
I use a background instead of after and use my H1 or H2 to cover the background. Not quite your method above but does work well for me.
CSS
.title-box { background: #fff url('images/bar-orange.jpg') repeat-x left; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 20px;}
.title-box h1 { color: #000; background-color: #fff; display: inline; padding: 0 50px 0 50px; }
HTML
<div class="title-box"><h1>Title can go here</h1></div>
<div class="title-box"><h1>Title can go here this one is really really long</h1></div>
I am not experienced at all so feel free to correct things. However, I tried all these answers, but always had a problem in some screen.
So I tried the following that worked for me and looks as I want it in almost all screens with the exception of mobile.
<div class="wrapper">
<div id="Section-Title">
<div id="h2"> YOUR TITLE
<div id="line"><hr></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper{
background:#fff;
max-width:100%;
margin:20px auto;
padding:50px 5%;}
#Section-Title{
margin: 2% auto;
width:98%;
overflow: hidden;}
#h2{
float:left;
width:100%;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:1.5vw;}
#h2 #line {
display:inline-block;
float:right;
margin:auto;
margin-left:10px;
width:90%;
position:absolute;
top:-5%;}
#Section-Title:after{content:""; display:block; clear:both; }
.wrapper:after{content:""; display:block; clear:both; }
The project is to create a micro-blogging website similar to Twitter. I chose to name the site Chirper (how clever of me). Each post is structured by a parent div, an avatar div and a content div. The avatar and content divs are displayed inline, but they are not aligned properly. Any help is appreciated.
HTML:
<div class="chirp">
<div class="chirp_avatar_region">
<img src="img/avatar/default.png" alt="Avatar" width="64" height="64">

The div's aren't aligned how I want them to be (level and 100% of the parent).
I can't post images, so here is a link to an imgur page: http://imgur.com/Mn9mE5q

You can either float your inner divs then clear the float following the container
or
use vertical-align:top to position your divs at the top of the container
Not entirely sure, but what I think is happening is that by defining position:inline-block, it's putting them on the same line, and making the line-height the height of the chirp_content container. In a sense anyway.
Set to vertical-align:top; and it should solve it.
Ex.
.chirp_content, .chirp_avatar_region{ vertical-align:top; }
JS Fiddle
Give to the avatar_region a float: left, and remove its width: and height: setting. Remove the chirp_content div, it circumvents the inlining.
If I put an image inside a paragraph tag without aligning works fine. If I align it image goes outside paragraph. Problem is that Image is MUCH larger than text.
<div id="main-paper-bg">
<div id="content">
<h1>After School Program</h1>
<p><img class="left-only" src="images/bgi/after-school/main-img.jpg" width="450" height="630" alt="Main Img" align="left">Coming Soon</p>
</div>
</div>
And CSS
#main-paper-bg {
width: 740px;
padding: 30px;
display: block;
float: left;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
#content {
background: black;
height: auto;
text-align: left;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding-right: 30px;
padding-left: 30px;
border: 1px solid #999;
}
p {
line-height: 160%;
padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 30px;
font-size: 12pt;
}
img.left-only {
border: none;
margin: 10px 10px 10px 0;
padding: 0;
}
You have a close-parentheses in your styles that may be breaking things: "background: black);"
you don't need align="left" in your <img> tag.
The align attribute is also deprecated: use css to set width height, align and other features. In this case, you don't need to align it left, since the default value for text-align is already left.
like so: http://jsfiddle.net/SebastianPataneMasuelli/equ8p/1/
