I've been struggling for hours to try and get this simple border to appear on top of a div of a set height, but it's just not happening. I've checked out z-indexing and ':after', but nothing seems to be working.
The content's parent is: (establishes the content to be in the middle of the page)
#content {
position: relative;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
top: 50px;
width:800px;
}
The content is then filled by the div-class "greycontent":
.greycontent {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
height: 350px;
background: url(images/stacked_circles.png) repeat;
}
The area that is now covered by the background URL attempts to contain a border (away from edges):
.fill {
position:relative;
z-index: 2;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 2px;
border-color: red;
}
It just won't work. If my description was unclear, this image should clear up what I'm trying to convey:
Thank you!

Just in case you do not want to put a ::before or ::after elements, you can simply use the background-clip property.
.myDiv {
background-clip: padding-box;
}
Exemple: https://codepen.io/geekschool/pen/JBdpdj
Is this what your trying to achieve? jsFiddle
#content {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
top: 50px;
width:800px;
overflow:hidden;
background:#ccc;
width:800px;
}
.greycontent {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
height: 350px;
width:350px;
border:1px solid #fff;
background:#ccc;
margin:0 auto 60px;
}
Updated your jsFiddle.

I have turned to this guide to solve my problem of vertically centering my text within the div. And I believe to understand what it says, but it still doesn't work.
.number {
position: relative;
height:50px;
margin: -25px 0 0 0;
top: 50%;
background-color: #00ff00;
}
Here is the fiddle, which recreates the problem. I want the green area (.number) to be centered vertically within the button (.numberElement)
Where is my problem? I reckon jQuery Mobile is complicating things and creating structures I am not foreseeing...
Thank you!

You need to make some changes to your css like so:
.numberElement {
position: absolute;
width:30%;
height:200px;
margin:0px;
display:table;
}
.numberElement .ui-btn-inner {
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
Working Demo
Your top property of .number is not working fine, as i can see in your fiddle. Try changing it from top to margin-top. It will center around margin-top:60px;
Also dont forget to remove the line in .number
margin: -25px 0 0 0;
here is the correct answer as i think
.numberElement {
position: absolute;
width:30%;
height:200px;
margin:0px;
}
.number {
position: relative;
height:50px;
margin: 50px 0;
line-height:50px;
top: 50%;
background-color: #00ff00;
}
#grid {
position:absolute;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
border:solid 1px #ff0000;
height:400px;
width:400px;
}
I'm wanting to get an image overflowing a div, whilst not distrupting flow of text.
You can see it live at http://songbundle.org*
Example image above. Currently the text and form move right and lose their centering due to the image.
My current code below:
HTML:
<div class="box">
<div id="boxarrow"></div>
<p>text goes here</p>
</div>
CSS:
.box {
margin:60px auto 0 auto;
width:240px;
border:solid 1px #7889BC;
background-color: #AEB8D7;
text-align:center;
}
#boxarrow {
background:url(image/arrow.png);
width:77px;
height:81px;
display:block;
margin-left:-60px;
float:left;
}
Your help is appreciated!
Hey there,
One solution you could try would be to apply position: relative; to your .box element and position: absolute; to your #boxarrow element. This will take the #boxarrow element out of the normal flow of the document, leaving other elements unaffected by its positioning.
Then, you can adjust it's position (relative to the .box element, since we gave it position: relative;) with top, right, left, and bottom. So, your #boxarrow element might end up looking something like this:
#boxarrow {
position: absolute;
top: 30px;
left: 20px;
}
Again, this is just one possible solution, but it seems as though it would work best considering your situation.
Hope this helps!
remove
margin-left:-60px; float:left;
from your #boxarrow and add
left:-60px; position:absolute;
Then add
position:relative;
to your .box
Final result:
.box {
background-color: #AEB8D7;
border: 1px solid #7889BC;
margin: 60px auto 0 auto;
position: relative;
text-align: center;
width: 240px;
}
#boxarrow {
background: url("image/arrow.png");
display: block;
height: 81px;
left: -60px;
position: absolute;
width: 77px;
}
Just change the positioning to absolute like this...
#boxarrow {background:url(image/arrow.png); width:77px; height:81px; display:block; margin-left:-60px; float:left;position: absolute;}
Is there a simple way to style element like this?
Supposed to be used on a mobile so CSS3 is fully available. Can't think of a simple way. Images are out of question.
It has to be this blocky and there supposed to be a text within (this is a blocky 8-bit button)
This jumps off of feeela's beginnings, but it's different enough to warrant its own answer.
Rather than putting a colored block overly, it only adds red-colored elements, allowing background to show through. HOWEVER, to calculate it properly (so that they're square corners!) I had to set a fixed width height. There's probably some sort of wacky way to do this with percentages, but for proof of concept it was too headachey to contemplate. Since the requirement is for fixed height variable width, this should work.
The pseudo-elements need to have content or they will "collapse". The content can be empty, but that property needs to be set.
CSS:
/* main button block */
.button {
display:inline-block;
background: #f00;
position: relative;
line-height: 60px;
text-align: center;
padding: 0 20px;
height: 60px;
margin-left: 0.5em;
}
/* common background color to all */
.button, .button::before, .button::after {
background-color: #f00;
}
/* shared styles to make left and right lines */
.button::before, .button::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
height: 50px;
width: 5px;
top: 5px;
}
/* pull the left 'line' out to the left */
.button::before {
left: -5px;
}
/* pull the right 'line' out to the right */
.button::after {
right: -5px;
}
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3R9c5/2/
How about this?
HTML:
<div class="block">(text goes here)</div>
CSS:
body {background:#1990D7;}
.block {background:#FF1200; line-height:52px; margin:8px auto; width:359px;
position:relative; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; color:yellow}
.block::before {display:inline-block; background:#FF1200; content:'';
position:absolute; top:4px; left:-4px; bottom:4px; width:4px;}
.block::after {display:inline-block; background:#FF1200; content:'';
position:absolute; top:4px; right:-4px; bottom:4px; width:4px;}
Edit: updated after the latest insights into the demands of the question.
You can insert each of that four blocky-corners by appending pseudo elements via ::before or ::after.
e.g.:
.button {
background: #f00;
position: relative;
}
/* corner top left */
.button::after {
position: absolute;
top: 0; left: 0;
width: 5px; height: 5px;
background: #00f;
}
/* corner top right */
.button::after {
position: absolute;
top: 0; right: 0;
width: 5px; height: 5px;
background: #00f;
}
/* corner bottom left */
/* … */
The CSS border-radius attribute
maybe this will help you. Or you can just add new class, "cadre" for example
.cadre
{
border-radius: 10px;
}
to your css file, then affect it to the div.
I don't think border-radius can accomplish that. This is the simplest way I can think of:
http://jsfiddle.net/DpLdt/
CSS:
body {
background:blue;
}
div#clipcorners {
width:500px;
height:200px;
background:red;
position:relative;
margin:100px auto;
}
span#a,span#b {
position:absolute;
width:10px;
height:180px;
top:10px;
background:red;
}
span#a {
left:-10px;
}
span#b {
right:-10px;
}
HTML:
<div id="clipcorners">
<span id="a">
</span>
<span id="b">
</span>
</div>
I have a div which by pressing a button should appear in the center of the screen.
I use the following CSS code:
#box {
width: 490px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-245px;
height: 200px;
top:50%;
margin-top:-100px;
background: #302d1a;
border: 1px solid #313131;
color: #ffffff;
text-align: left;
position:fixed ;
z-index: 9999;
}
The code works fine in Opera Chrome Firefox , but it doesn't work in IE v 6.0 ?
Thanks a lot for your help :)
You can simulate position fixed using expressions in IE6, but as was said in the comments, position fixed does not work in IE6
#box {
top: expression((document.clientHeight / 2) + document.body.scrollTop + "px");
position: absolute;
}
Be sure to put this in a conditional comment for IE 6.
If #box is inside another container that has a specified width, this would probably work for you:
#box {
width: 490px;
left:50%;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right: auto;
height: 200px;
top:50%;
margin-top:-100px;
background: #302d1a;
border: 1px solid #313131;
color: #ffffff;
text-align: left;
z-index: 9999;
}
I just added a margin-left and margin-right set to auto.
I'm trying to float a div over another one but in the center (width).
EDIT: I want the container div to be over the top div and centered.
Current CSS:
body {
background-color: #FFF;
margin: auto;
}
#top {
background-color: #F2F2F2;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
height: 150px;
position: relative;
}
#container {
background-color: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
width: 920px;
height:300px;
position: absolute;
top:0;
right:auto;
}
This is what i get:
set left:50%
and margin-left:-460px (half the width of the div)
Try this. It's untested but you basically need to set the container div to relative and then the div inside that to absolute.
body {
background-color: #FFF;
margin: auto;
}
#top {
background-color: #F2F2F2;
border-bottom: 1px solid #CCC;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
}
#container {
background-color: #FFF;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
width: 920px;
height:300px;
position: relative;
right:auto;
}
I would suggest setting #top's position attribute to absolute and using a little javascript to set the left attribute to #container's left + half of #container's width - half of #top's width.
i.e, after including jQuery (untested):
$(document).ready(function(){
var topLeft = $("#container").css("left") + ($("#container").css("width")/2) - ($("#top").css("width")/2);
$("#top").css("left", topLeft);
});
In the case that left is zero, like the example you gave, that $("#container").css("left") term is unnecessary.
EDIT: You'll also have to be sure to set the z-index attributes of the two divs appropriately.
