Div picture cut out of div box - css

I was just adapting a webdesign, when I found a problem and couldn't slove it on my own.
I coded a heading and an article picture, both in the same div, with a border at the bottom of the div.
My problem: The border comes right after the title and doesn't integrate my picture.
Check out this fiddle to see what i mean: Click me!
Here is my code:
<div class="latestarticle">
<a class="articletitle" href="#" >Guitar Hero Experts Melt Your Face Off</a>
<div class="articlepicture">
</div>
and CSS:
.latestarticle {
border-bottom: solid 1px #CCC;
padding: 0px;
margin-top: 12px;
font-size: 12px;
}
.articletitle {
color: #CD5700;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 14px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
.articlepicture {
height: 76px;
width: 136px;
float: left;
margin-top: 12px;
margin-right: 9px;
border: solid #A3A3A3 2px;
}

I'm wondering why this is not working. This should work, anyway, add display: table; or display: table-cell; to your .latestarticle. It works fine. See Demo
Edit
Oh! I came to know this problem is happening because you have floated left to your .articlepicture and I hope you wanted to do as demo.
I have added <div class="articlegroup"></div> for your .articlepicture div and defined it display: inline-block;
DEMO

use css display: block to .articletitle

I think what you are looking for is a clearfix. You need to add a "clearfix" div as a sibling to a floated element if you want the parent to recognize the height of the floated element.
<div class="latestarticle">
<a class="articletitle" href="#">Guitar Hero</a>
<div class="articlepicture"></div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
Then define the .clearfix style in css:
.clearfix { clear:both; }

use disply:inline-block; for latestarticle .see here http://jsfiddle.net/WEHw4/5/

Centering A Group Of Buttons

I am attempting to center three buttons at the bottom of an MTML page and I cannot get them to center no matter what I try. Below is my last attempt. Any help appreciated!
HTML Code:
<div style="margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto">
<div class="btn-group">
Top
Page Two
Page Three
</div>
</div>
CSS Code:
.btn-group .button {
background-color: #4CAF50; /* Green */
border: none;
color: white;
padding: 15px 32px;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 16px;
cursor: pointer;
}
You just need to apply a center align to your parent div
text-align: center;

I created a new css class just to avoid the inline css ;)

Fix the alignment of two child divs

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">
</div>
<div class="chirp_content">
<p>
USER
<span class="timeStamp">2013-11-22 16:43:59</span>
</p>
<p>

ReChirp!

</div>
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
Relevant CSS:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
color: #000;
background-color: #666;
font-size: 1em;
}
/* Containers */
div {
margin-top: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 10px;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 3px;
border-color: #000;
padding: 10px;
}
div.pane {
width: 70%;
background-color: 0099FF;
}
div.chirp {
border-width: 1px;
margin-bottom: -1px;
width: 80%;
padding: 5px;
}
div.chirp_avatar_region {
display: inline-block;
width: 10%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
/*border-style: none;*/
}
div.chirp_content {
display: inline-block;
width: 80%;
height: 100%;
/*border-style: none;*/
}
div.chirp_avatar_region > img, div.chirp_content > p {
margin-top: 0;
vertical-align: middle;
}
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.

footer's padding making it expand over its parent div width

I have a footer in my webpage with some text in it. When i try to add padding-left property to it, the width of the footer expands over the enclosing parent div element and this problem only happens with Opera and not with Chrome or Firefox or IE.. What should be done to correct it ??
CSS for footer :
footer {
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #3399CC;
padding-top: 12px;
padding-bottom: 12px;
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
Instead of adding an extra block level element inside of your footer, you should try the CSS3 box-sizing property with value set to border-box. The following footer definition should probably solve the problem for you:
footer
{
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #3399CC;
padding-top: 12px;
padding-bottom: 12px;
width: 100%;
float: left;
box-sizing: border-box; /* prefix accordingly */
}
To read a short introduction, visit the following link: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_box-sizing.asp
you can fix this problem by taking a div inside footer tag and apply padding to that div
<style>
footer {
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #3399CC;
width: 100%;
float: left;
}
.footer {
padding-top: 12px;
padding-bottom: 12px;
padding-left:10px;
}
</style>
<footer>
<div class="footer">hello this is footer</div>
</footer>
That's a common sense. If you add "padding" and "width of 100%" you will get that result. Remove the "padding" or the "width of 100%" you will notice the problem no longer exist.
Add div tag between the parent-of-footer and the footer, and add the padding-left to that new div, like this:
<div id="parentOfFooter" style="background-color: #00ff00;">
<div id="paddingLeftProblemSolver" style="background-color: #ff8800; padding-left:50px;">
<div id="myfooter" style="color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #3399CC; padding-top: 12px; padding-bottom: 12px; width: 100%; float: left;">
i'm a footer
</div>
</div>

Make div size as per contents and horizontally center inside it's parent

I have a div message which basically has a text and a link. I want its size to be changing based on the string inside it. Also I want this message div to be centered inside its container.
I have been playing with it for a while without much luck. Here is the link to JSfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/pDYJ8/
Also I don't know how make that text and link appear one after other ( not on the new line )
Here is the code:
<div class="container">
<div class="message">
<p>do you want to </p>
<a href="somewhere" target="_blank">
buy this product
</a>
</div>
</div>
.container {
position: absolute;
background: #666;
top:25%;
width:100%;
font-size: 15px;
color: #e47911;
}
.message {
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background: #ddd;
width:100px;
}
Tried display inline block to fit its content but then it wouldn't center it inside its parent.
Keeping width 100px for now just to mock my requirements
Just Tweak Some CSS
See the demo fiddle.
.container {
position: absolute;
background: #666;
top:25%;
width:100%;
font-size: 15px;
color: #e47911;
text-align: center; /*added*/
}
.container .message {
display: inline-block; /*added*/
text-align: left; /*added*/
background: #ddd;
}
.message p { /*added*/
display: inline-block;
}
Explanation
The text-align center causes the now inline-block display of .message to center, which is then reset to have its own text-align back at left (this is not necessary). To get the a on the same line, the p also needs to be some type of inline display, here I chose inline-block as well..
I think you are over complicating things. All you need is a text-align: centeron the container and a display: inline-block on the message:
.container {
background: #666;
font-size: 15px;
color: #e47911;
text-align: center;
}
.container .message {
background: #ddd;
display: inline-block;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Pevara/pDYJ8/9/
The inline block makes the div act as a word inside text, and the text-align center makes the 'word' align to the center...
Here is a simplified approach to a couple of the answers given. It reduces the amount of HTML and CSS needed.
CSS
.container {
color: #e47911;
text-align: center;
}
.message {
display: inline;
background: #DDDDDD;
}
HTML
<div class="container">
<p class="message">
Do you want to buy this product?
</p>
</div>
I would definitely put your anchor tag, <a> inside the paragraph tag, <p>.
You could even remove display: inline; from .message if you made it a <span> rather than a <p>.
Check this out:
http://jsfiddle.net/pDYJ8/10/
Changes made to above link
.container .message {
margin: 0 auto;
width:auto;
}
span{
background: #ddd;
display:inline;
}
You can simplify it with display: table; and margin: 0 auto;
.container {
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #DDD;
}
<div class="container">
do you want to buy this product
</div>

CSS: I can't put a button in the middle of a DIV element

I'm using CSS buttons from this tutorial:
http://www.oscaralexander.com/tutorials/how-to-make-sexy-buttons-with-css.html
I need to put a button in the middle of a DIV so it's centered. But I can't!
Here's the code of the button:
<a class="button" href="#"><span>Bring world peace</span></a>
And here's CSS:
.clear { /* generic container (i.e. div) for floating buttons */
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
a.button {
background: transparent url('bg_button_a.gif') no-repeat scroll top right;
color: #444;
display: block;
float: left;
font: normal 12px arial, sans-serif;
height: 24px;
margin-right: 6px;
padding-right: 18px; /* sliding doors padding */
text-decoration: none;
}
a.button span {
background: transparent url('bg_button_span.gif') no-repeat;
display: block;
line-height: 14px;
padding: 5px 0 5px 18px;
}
Here's the code I'm trying to use:
<div align="center"><a class="button" href="#"><span>Bring world peace</span></a></div>
the align attribute for the div element is deprecated. You're better off defining a class for that div, like so:
<div class="centerize">
<a class="button" href="#"><span>Bring world peace</span></a>
</div>
And the CSS:
.centerize {
text-align: center;
}
Note however that setting the text-align will only affect the content inside the div. The div itself (should be) a block element, and depending on where it sits in the document structure, may not be centered itself.
Just to make a little more certain, you can do something like this:
.centerize {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
}
Now you can apply centerize to any element, and that element should take up the entire browser's width and center-align its content.
Modify the button class for these properties:
.button{
margin-left:50%;
margin-right:50%;
position: relative;
}
And wrap your link in the div like this:
<div align="center">
<a class="button" href="#"><span>Bring world peace</span></a>
</div>
The a.button is floated to the left. You could try float: none; on that element. margin: 0 auto; is also useful for center-aligning elements.
Does that help?
