I want to create a navigation bar where the text is centered, but my CSS code places the hyperlink at the top corner of the li as seen in the image.
CSS:
#navigation {
clear: both;
margin: 0 auto 5px;
margin-top: 0;
height: 6%;
padding: 0 5px;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
#navigation a {
height: 10%;
width: 50px;
color: red;
vertical-align: center;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: bold;
}
li {
border-top: solid;
border-right: solid;
border-left: solid;
border-bottom: none;
padding-left: 1px;
height: 51px;
width: 18%;
background-image: url('../images/tab-selected.png');
background-repeat: repeat-x-y;
border-color: #F0F0F0;
display: inline-block;
padding-left: 1px;
}
HTML:
<nav id="navigation">
<ul>
<li >overview</li>
<li >overview</li>
</ul>
</nav>
There are various ways of vertically center something.
If you KNOW the words of the links and know they will not have a line break, you can add line-height:51px; to the anchor (which is the same height of the LI).
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/vMLpL/
By the way, tips for you:
For the border, you can use border:1px solid #f0f0f0; then just give none to bottom, like border-bottom:none; instead of declaring all sides.
When you want a BG to repeat both X and Y, the background-repeat is repeat only, not repeat-x-y.
For the vertical-align, there is no center. It's top, middle, bottom and baseline. But it work only for inline elements regard to other inline elements besides or for display:table-cell elements (which will work like a td's valign="middle" atribute).
Try this:
Remove the following from your "li" selector:
height: 51px;
Add the following to your "li" selector:
text-align: center;
line-height: 51px;

The app (RoR) shows a set of rows with posts info. Each row has the title aligned to the left and date aligned to the right.
I need to have a link working over all the row, not only over the text.
If I don't use float, the link works properly over all the row but I cannot establish a margin-top. If I use float, the margin-top works OK, but then the link only works over the text.
I don get what the issue is. Any ideas?
This is my css:
.post {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 900px;
height: 40px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BDBDBD;
}
.post a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
}
.post a span.title{
float: left;
margin-top: 7px;
}
.post a span.date{
float: right;
margin-top: 7px;
}
I assume your html structure is like this:
<div class="post">
<a href="#">
<span class="date">date</span>
<span class="title">title</span>
</a>
</div>
Note: I moved the date up and title down, because we're going to make the first one to float right. You can then use margin or padding as needed.
.post {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 900px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #BDBDBD;
}
.post a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px 0;
}
.post a span.date {
float: right;
}

Trying to display a list of upcoming events, showing the date(s), an icon, and a brief description. All of these should line up side by side, like columns, but when the description wraps, it falls down to the next line. This is probably insanely simple, but I've tried various combinations of float and inline-block with no success.
<div class="events">
<ul class="list-unstyled">
<li>
<div class="event-date">Jun 16 -
<br />Jun 27</div><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-star">a</i>
<div class="event-text">Opening Day for Faculty and Staff</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="event-date">Sep 10 -
<br />Oct 08</div><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-star">b</i> <div class="event-text">Coffee with a Cop, 7:45 a.m. # Cafeteria Courtyard</div></li>
<li>
<div class="event-date">Mar 12</div><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ban-circle">c</i> <div class="event-text">Labor Day: Campus Closed</div></li>
</ul>
.list-unstyled {
list-style: none outside none;
padding-left: 0;
}
.events li {
border-bottom: 1px solid #4188d6;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
.event-date {
background-color: #74a2c2;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #ffffff;
display:inline-block;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
padding: 5px;
width: 65px;
vertical-align:top
}
.event-text {
vertical-align:top;
display:inline;
border:1px solid green
}
i {
display:inline-block;
vertical-align:top;
border:1px solid red
}

Using your existing HTML (good as is), try the following CSS:
.list-unstyled {
list-style: none outside none;
padding-left: 0;
}
.events li {
border-bottom: 2px solid #4188d6;
margin-bottom:10px;
overflow: auto;
}
.event-date {
background-color: #74a2c2;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #ffffff;
font-weight: bold;
margin: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
padding: 5px;
width: 65px;
float: left;
}
.event-text {
overflow: auto;
border: 1px dotted gray;
}
i {
float: left;
vertical-align:top;
border:1px solid red;
margin-right: 10px;
}
See demo: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/y54Zb/
To allow for a fluid width of .event-text, start by using float: left for .event-date and i (optinally, add a right margin as needed).
To contain the floated elements within the li blocks, use overflow: auto.
Finally, apply overflow: auto for .event-text to keep the text from wrapping around the floated elements.
The net result is that as you shrink the window width, the text will start wrapping at the left edge next to the icon. As you expand the window, the text will simply stay on a single line for a wide enough window (use max-width if this is an issue).
You might want to set a min-width for the text block depending on your layout design.

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 have some problem with displaying a sprite in a div that is in a li class.
So the structure is:
<li id="aa">
<div>one</div>
</li>
And the CSS:
li{
width: 120px;
height: 18px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
li div{
width: 20px;
height: 10px;
background-image:url(../images/sprite.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-left: 0px;
font-weight:bolder;
border: 1px solid #fff;
}
When I use this I can see the sprite even outside the div. So I tried adding this to li:
background-image: none;
That makes the image in the div not visible too.
So if there is someone who know about that I really would appreciate.
It seems you are missing a ; after background-image please see below
background-image:url(../images/sprite.png);
I've got a submit button in a list:
<ul>
<li><input type="submit" value="Pls don't shift" /></li>
</ul>
The li and the input have different backgrounds, and these should be positionable.
The input should have dynamic width (depending on the value).
The input's value should be almost at the input's bottom.
These things reduce the number of opportunities to solve the problem.
And the problem exactly is: IE8 and IE9 shift the text of value, and IE8 shifts the background too.
I've tried to solve it and made this css (this is only a 'debug-css'):
li {
display: block;
width: auto;
border: 1px solid red;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
float: left;
overflow: hidden;
}
input,
input:active:hover {
display: block;
background: url(tools-48x48.png) no-repeat center center;
width: auto;
height: 60px;
border: 1px solid transparent;
outline: none;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
overflow: visble;
padding: 0 10px;
margin: 2px;
}
input:active:hover {
border: 1px solid red;
}
And the most interesting thing is: Now if I click on the button's text value, then it makes the same bad shift, but if I click eslewhere (on the button, but not on the text value) then it works.
That was the point when I've minded to write here.
How to disable submit buttons :active state in IE?
Thank you!
I have tested this in IE9 and when I remove several styles that "aren't" used the input text doesn't shift when you click on it.
removed styles:
li {
width: auto;
border: 1px solid red;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
input,
input:active:hover{
background: url(tools-48x48.png) no-repeat center center;
outline:none;
}
and added the styles
input,
input:active:hover{
position: relative;
overflow: visible;
}
See my Fiddle for more details here: http://jsfiddle.net/f67Vw/4/
A good other option seems to be to replace it with a carefully styled a element.
HTML
<ul>
<li>
Doesn't shift
</li>
</ul>
CSS
.button {
display: block;
width: auto;
height: 19px;
border: 1px solid transparent;
color: #000;
text-align: center;
padding: 20px 10px;
margin: 2px;
text-decoration:none;
}
