I don't know why but when I set my CSS for an <img> to display: inline it works fine.
But then I wrote display: block; and it was stretching the link wrapped around the element, across the entire screen.
Block elements take up the full width available, with a new line before and after since the anchor tag is enclosing it it is also going full width.
Inline elements take up only as much width is needed and doesn't force new lines.
To fix it, you should wrap your "my work on instagram" anchor tag and image in a div, which is a block element, and it will not stretch the internal elements. Also, remove the display:block from your instawork class in your css. JSFiddle Example
<div><img src="http://www.pauldewar.me/imgs/instawork.png"></div>

I've looked at a few other answers on here, but I haven't been able to fix the following issue in my use case. I have a codepen here
I have a user hero background wrapper that has the property background-size:cover. This is what it currently looks like:
Everything looks good, but if the user were to put in a much longer description of themselves, then the text would spill out of the div:
So what css properties should I change in order to preserve the margin of the user hero div and background image to the content? Here is a link to my code pen
The problem is that you're using position: absolute; to position your elements, which takes them out of the regular document flow. Absolutely positioned child elements don't stretch their parents, nor is their behavior affected by the siblings.
So basically, you would want to move the div with the class user-hero-photo-layout-container above the div with the class userheroinfowrapper-5wLB0y-layout-container in your HTML markup.
And then remove the position: absolute; from both of them.
Here's an example of how your code might look like after these changes.
I want my logo be aligned to center and that be clickable outside the margins without html img tag - with css background-image or something that remove right click > view image.

You should really use an img tag. However if you don't want to for some reason:
http://jsfiddle.net/qhU5u/1/
I've completely removed the div and just used tha a tag to display the logo.
Just use an img element. This is far better for accessibility purposes.
For example, if someone is viewing your page without the CSS enabled, they will be able to see your logo if it is an img, but not if it is a background-image.
However, if you wish to use a background-image, I would recommend using a div with a fixed height and width which matches your image.
Then, place an a element inside the div giving this the same dimensions as the div.
Your way of nesting div inside an a is invalid HTML.

I'm dealing with a text who goes out of its div. I've coded the frontpage. So, no matter how long the main content is, it should force the sub-content (the grey area and the footer) to move down.
You see how the dummy text is acting
URL http://nicejob.is/clients/pizzahollin/www/divproblem.htm
I've accomplish this before but somehow it's not working now.
You've set an explicit height on that div. For it to reshape itself to its content, you'll need to set height:auto. (or never set its height in the first place)
EDIT: As ANeve said, you'll need to remove the height on both .article and .opentext, as well you'll need to put a clear:left on .lower-container to push the footer down.
If you have an element that only contains floating elements, the container's height will be zero. To fix this you can add a clearing div (<div style="clear:both"></div>).
If you add a clearing div at the end of the #under-content section, it will automatically adjust the height of the section to it's contents.
The other issue you have is that you are using relative positioning on your .opentext div elements. When you set a 'top' property, it actually pushes the content down, causing it to overlap with your #lower-container. You're better off using the 'margin-top' property, which will expand the size the .opentext div to fit all the contents.
So in short:
Add <div style="clear:both"></div> at the end of the #under-content <section>
Change the 'top:82px' to 'margin-top:82px' on your .opentext div
I hope this helps!
Just use wordwrap: break-word; for the div and it will break the word to the next line.
You have set the height property of your .article and .opentext divs. If you remove this property, the content should expand accordingly.
However, you will also need to adjust the positioning of your background image. You should set the background image of .footer itself, rather than relying on one statically-sized background image for the entire page.
Hi I have some hyperlinks inside a div with display:block. Problem is that the hyperlinks length when clicked is equal to the div's width. How do I make the hyperlink's clicked length equal to the text of the hyperlink only without specifying width for each link ?
JSFiddle here
Use
#links a {clear:left;float:left}
The float will allow the link to be sized, and the clear will prevent the links from being on the same line.
You may need to add a clear:left to the #links container depending on your design.
EDIT
A little tutorial since you asked:
There are two types of elements, inline and block. Inline ones show in a line with no breaks. Block elements take up the whole line and move to the next one.
Inline elements can't have their width or height styled. Blocks can.
<a> is an inline element. By setting its display to block, you tell it to make a new line every time.
float gives elements inline behavior so they bump up next to eachother and flow over onto the next line. float also allows you to style the width/height of the element. It's sort of a mix between the two.
The clear attribute stops the inline floating and goes back to normal block behavior (new lines every time).
You won't need display:block and float: at the same time.
Another solution would involve display:inline-block, but this is not supported in several browsers so isn't encouraged (although I find it pretty handy).
set the link style to display:inline-block; (not supported in elder IE6) or float it with float:left; or float:right;
display: block; is what makes the link elements expand to their parent width. By default, link elements are in-line elements, not block elements.
Simply remove that declaration and your problem should be gone.
JSFiddle example
Do you mean something like this:
Foo
width:auto?
Or try
display:inline;
on the links
it shouldnt get the divs width then
I'm having a few problems trying to position some divs in my website layout. All of them is related to the div's size. I'm using Chrome's developer tools to inspect the divs and when I mouse over some divs it is just 1px-high, but it has content inside and its content has some height. Shouldn't it have at least the same height of its content?
I don't know if I explained well, so I'm posting some images. I'm using Blueprint CSS Framework and it happens when I use class="span-XX" and inside it I don't use neither class
Here is some images (click to zoom)
The parent div
The div with problem (no height)
The child div
The parent div has class="span-XX", the div with problem has only #search
which is this one
I suspect it is some float or positioning issue with css but I don't know what it is and how to deal with it. I have also a list containing the social networks on the top of the site which ul has the same problem.
If you have floats inside, you need to clear them. Apply overflow:hidden; zoom:1; to the parent containing the floats and it should resolve it.
If you have negative margins / position + relative and negative offset and cant use overflow hidden use a clearfix... http://work.arounds.org/clearing-floats/
Your child div has the float property set, so the parent div will not expand height-wise to contain it. To get the behavior you expect, set overflow: hidden on the parent div.
