I'm using twitter bootstrap for my css and the following code has an issue with the alignment:
see jsfiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/graphicsxp/99rhF/ (make sure you enlarge the html view)
<div class="view-header">
<span class="view-title">Recherche de mandats</span>
<div class="pull-right">
<a style="line-height: 30px; margin-right: 20px; vertical-align: bottom; float: left;">
<span class="pointer">more options</span>
</a>
<form class="form-inline pull-left" placeholder="N° de contrat, nom/numéro de client" css-class="input-xxlarge">
<input class="input-xxlarge ng-dirty" type="text" placeholder="N° de contrat, nom/numéro de client" ng-model="model">
<button disabled="disabled" class="btn btn-info" type="submit"><i class="icon-search"></i> Rechercher</button>
</form>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div class="pull-right">
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
as you can see the button with the label 'Rechercher' is too far right. What am I doing wrong ?
There is nothing wrong with your button, its the containing element.
Update the css with:
.view-header {
background-color: #F5F5F5;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BBBBBB;
margin-bottom: 20px;
padding: 10px 20px;
}
Removing width: 100%; Div's are block line elements, meaning they will fill their parent. This should solve your problem.
See:
http://jsfiddle.net/99rhF/2/
The parent element has a width of 100%, but padding isn't included in width calculations, so it ends up being 100% + 40px. You fix this by wrapping the contents in a container, and padding that instead.
http://jsfiddle.net/ndTuL/
.view-header {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: 20px;
border-bottom: solid 1px #bbbbbb;
}
.content-wrap {
padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px;
}
First of all, I know I'm late to the party :)
Second - #Jamie Hutber has a very good and valid answer. No arguments here at all - it should remain the accepted answer for sure.
Third - Here's what I ran in to, and how I fixed it:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<?php echo $str->head; ?>
</head>
<body>
<footer>
© Copyright 2021-$currentYear | All Rights Reserved | No Unauthorized Use Permitted | JPeG Web Development
</footer>
</body>
</html>
<footer> is also a Block Line Element, so width is not needed. Here's what I did instead:
CSS
body {
background-color: #f8f3ed;
max-width: 1200px;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
margin-bottom: 2rem;
}
footer {
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
height: 1.5rem;
font-size: 1rem;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
right: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
max-width: 1200px;
padding: 5px;
}
Things to note is that the position: absolute; will mess up any text-direction and make it overflow, especially if you try and add a width: 100% to it. The right and bottom stick it on the bottom right corner no matter how much you scroll.
It's not exactly what the question was asking, but I thought it might be nice for people to see some alternate ways to have this issue, and resolve it.

This is code for the div
width: 110px;
height: 10px;
background: #ffff;
border-radius: 30px;
margin-top: -10px;
and this is how it displays it
But if display is set as list-item it shows up,any other display won't work
I'm not sure what i messed up,and why height shows 0
height only works on block box, and display: list-item uses block box by default. I guess your original css may contain inline-type display and cause height not working. Here is an example to show the results in different cases:
.bar {
width: 110px;
height: 10px;
background: #ffff;
border-radius: 30px;
margin-top: -10px;
}
.display-block {
display: block;
}
.display-inline {
display: inline;
}
.display-list-item {
display: list-item;
}
<body style="background: #999;padding: 10px">
<div>Div (default display is "block")</div>
<div class="bar"></div>
<div>Span (default display is "inline")</div>
<span class="bar"></span>
<div>With "inline" display</div>
<div class="bar display-inline"></div>
<div>With "block" display</div>
<div class="bar display-block"></div>
<div>With "list-item" display</div>
<div class="bar display-list-item"></div>
</body>
Ref: MDN - Introduction to the CSS basic box model - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Box_Model/Introduction_to_the_CSS_box_model#content_area
Another possible case is that there are other display, height or max-height settings in the current css hierarchy and override the original ones. You may check the css applied to the target div is what you want.
I have a small problem with these <span> elements in a <div>.
http://jsfiddle.net/kkzLW/179/
Here is the section of CSS code that I'm working with:
.rightRapper {
border-style: dotted;
margin-left: 105px;
margin-top: 0px;
height: 90px;
width: 100px;
display: block;
}
.leftRapper {
border-style: dotted;
margin-left: 0px;
height: 90px;
width: 100px;
display: block;
}
Here is the HTML section:
<div id="battleBox">
<span class="leftRapper">
<span id="buttonColumn">
<span id="container3" class="topButton">
+
</span>
<span id="container4" class="bottomButton">
-
</span>
</span>
</span>
<span class="rightRapper">
<span id="buttonColumn">
<span id="container" class="topButton">
+
</span>
<span id="container2" class="bottomButton">
-
</span>
</span>
</span>
</div>
I'm trying to get the <span> .leftRapper and .rightRapper to be side by side in the <div> battleBox. However, when I set the CSS display property to inline, the <span>s get squished into a smaller shape for some reason. When I set the display to block, it turns them into the size I want but it doesn't display them the way I want, because they're not displayed inline.
What is causing the <span>s to have a smaller size?
Add or replace the properties below in the following CSS classes/selectors:
#battleBox {
width: 216px; /* increasing width from 210 to 216 because your border takes 6 extra px*/
}
.rightRapper {
margin: 0px; /* remove all margins to fit two divs in the container */
display: inline-block; /* display block elements in one line */
}
.leftRapper {
margin: 0px;
display: inline-block;
}
Example
You could/should add a float: left to .leftRapper.
Other options are e.g. adding a negative right margin to .leftRapper.
So, I'm trying to make a chatbox, with the following:
<div class="text-container">
<div class="text" id="textholder">
<p>message</p>
...
<p>message</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="chatbox-container">
<div class="chatbox">
<input type="text" id="textinput" class="inputText" placeholder="Enter text" />
<input type="submit" class="send" onclick="addMessage()" value="Send" autofocus />
</div>
</div>
With the following css:
.text-container{
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
overflow: auto;
position: relative;
}
.text{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 25%;
width: 50%;
height: auto;
}
.chatbox-container{
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
overflow: auto;
}
Where I add some more p's to with the addMessage() function (just adds paragraph with text to innnerHTML of #textholder)
now the problem is that I can't get the text div to overflow(auto), which means the text just disappears.
I want the text to be in the center of the text-container, but I want the scroll to be on the container, so it looks like in skype.
How can I do this? Also, I've tried to basicly align the messages to the bottom of the textbox in a skypelike manner, but I've read that this can also be done by vertical-aligning. yet this didn't work how I wanted it.
Hopefully you get what I'm asking, English is not my native language, and I'm not sure if I'm asking it in the right way.
thanks in advance!
ps. please take into account that this is part of a bigger page, thus I left out some parts.
Ammend your text class to :
.text{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
height: 500px; //fix the height
width :90%;
overflow: auto; //scroll the content
}
Fiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/logintomyk/pETfX/
You have made the container overflow, while the messages are in text, so you need to overflow that class mate!! :)
Probably this is what you are looking for
.text-container {
height:200px;
overflow: auto;
border:1px solid #ccc;
}
.chatbox-container {
height: 30px;
}

I have the following HTML code where the subnav div is a collection of div tags that will act as tabs across the featuredexhibit div. Problem is that there is a white space adding between the top of the featureexhibit div and bottom of the subnav tab.
HTML:
<div id="subnav">
<div id="subnavtab">Plan Your Visit</div>
<div id="subnavtab">Tour the Museum</div>
<div id="subnavtab">Program & Events</div>
<div id="subnavtab">Membership</div>
<div id="subnavtab">Donate</div>
</div>
<div id="featuredexhibit">
Featured Exhibit - this can be a rotating menu of exhibits
</div>
CSS:
#subnav { margin-top: 20px; width: 740px; display: inline-block; }
#featuredexhibit { width: 732px; height: 200px; background-color: #A7A9AC; margin: 0; }
#subnavtab { background-color: #A1CD3A; float: left; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; margin: 0 5px 0 0; display: inline-block; }
I have tried using the Chrome Developer Tools to find the issue but I do not have any luck or I do not know what to look for.
There doesn't seem to be any problem with your code.
Are you sure no other CSS is conflicting? Make sure the CSS tags you are using are from the last CSS added in the HTML.
For example,
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css-1.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css-2.css">
If there are common tags in "css-2.css", then it will over ride any similar tags of "css-1.css"
You should give a float to the subnav and then clear the featuredexhibit and then only it couldn't save a space between them.
#subnav{float: left;}
#featuredexhibit{clear: both;}
See this Demo
I'm honestly not sure why the white space is there, but I got it fixed in Chrome by removing the inline-block and creating a clear both.
CSS
.subnav { margin-top: 20px; width: 740px; }
.featuredexhibit { width: 732px; height: 200px; background-color: #A7A9AC; margin: 0; }
.subnavtab { background-color: #A1CD3A; float: left; padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px; margin: 0 5px 0 0; }
.clear { clear: both; }
HTML
<div class="subnav">
<div class="subnavtab">Plan Your Visit</div>
<div class="subnavtab">Tour the Museum</div>
<div class="subnavtab">Program & Events</div>
<div class="subnavtab">Membership</div>
<div class="subnavtab">Donate</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<div class="featuredexhibit">

I know this is old, but since I just ran into this issue I might as well point future visitors to this article: https://css-tricks.com/fighting-the-space-between-inline-block-elements/
The problem seems to be that a new line counts as white space character in a row of inline-block elements. To solve this use floated blocks or flexbox.
Basically I'm making a navigation bar and due to Jquery doing a lot of resizing to make a website look 'pretty' I don't want to use a horizontal list and so each button is created like so:
<img src="homeicon.png"><span id="homex"><br /><img src="home.png" /></span>
(yes they're all image buttons for good reason)
but the only problem is they're fixed and set to "top 0" at the top of the page and as a result cannot sit next to each other but rather overlap, any idea on how I can I still keep the position to fixed and they top to 0 yet keep them next to each other?
HTML
<div id="top">
<img src="homeicon.png"><span id="homex"><br /><img src="home.png" /></span>
</div>
CSS
#top a.button { position: fixed; top: 0; padding: 12px; background: url('glacial_ice.jpg'); text-decoration: none; color: black; border-radius: 0px 0px 25px 25px; }
#top { position: relative; top:0; padding-left: 25px; }
Init function (runs on $(document).ready())
$('a.button').animate({
height: '+=5px',
}, 20, function() {
$('a.button').animate({
opacity: 0.6,
height: '-=5px',
}, 20);
});
Thanks
Put them all in a container, i.e. id="header", give the header position:fixed;top:0;etc...
Then, for each of the link/buttons give them:
position:relative;display:inline-block;float:left;
if you want them centered, then in the #header use text-align:center; and remove float:left from the links
So the container will be fixed, but the buttons inside will be relative and not overlap.
hope this helps!
very crude example
http://jsfiddle.net/6SCTZ/
<div id="header">
<div class="button">button1</div>
<div class="button">button2</div>
<div class="button">button3</div>
</div>
CSS:
#header { position:fixed;top:0;width:100%;height:30px;background:black; text-align:center }
.button {position:relative;display:inline-block;color:white;margin:0 5px 0 5px;}
Just put whatever elements need to be fixed within a container element (in this case, I'll use a div with an ID of "top_fixed").
Consider the following html:
<div id='top_fixed'>
<a href='http://google.com'>Google</a>
<a href='http://yahoo.com'>Yahoo</a>
</div>
<div id='tall'></div>
Now, the following CSS:
a { display: inline; }
#top_fixed { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; width: auto; }
#tall {height: 2000px; background: #000;}
