I have some text which I want underlined. Now, I don't just want the actual text to underline, I want the line to stretch across the screen.
I do:
H4{align:left; font-style: bold; border-bottom: 1px black solid;}
However, I don't want the line to run the entire width of the screen. I only want it to be say 750px wide or a percentage of the screen. I try:
H4{align:left; font-style: bold; border-bottom: 1px black solid; width:750px;}
But this does not work. The line still runs the entire width of the page. Any tips?
I suspect that you have some other CSS that is overriding your definition. For example, your CSS does function as expected: http://jsfiddle.net/pvjvA/1/
h4 {
text-align:left;
font-style: bold;
border-bottom: 1px black solid;
width:750px;
}
use a <hr />
then in the css:
hr{
width: 75%;
border: solid #DDD;
border-width: 1px 0 0;
clear: both;
margin: 10px 0 30px;
height: 0;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}

Morning,
I have the following code that works in all browsers other than IE. I want a blue border to appear when clicking on input boxes, however did not want to see the elements resizing and positioning. I fixed this by putting a border colour to match the background colour, thus removing the resizing effect. However, on IE, you get ghost borders which seem to be a combination of both the border radius and border colour (background colour). Any ideas of how to fix this without using box shadow?
Screen Shot showing ghost borders:
input,
textarea,
select {
position: relative;
display: block;
border: 3px solid #4f4f4f;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 6px auto 22px auto;
width: 260px;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: center;
&:focus {
outline: none;
border: 3px solid #4cc7fa;
}
}
Many thanks!
You can do like this to overcome the ghost/resize/re-positioning effect, where you change border-width on focus and compensate its re-positioning with a negative top
body {
background: gray;
}
input,
textarea,
select {
position: relative;
display: block;
border: 0px solid gray;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 6px auto 22px auto;
width: 260px;
font-size: 13px;
text-align: center;
}
input:focus {
top: -3px;
outline: none;
border: 3px solid #4cc7fa;
}
<input type="text">
I would use the following javascript:
Your-function() {
document.getElementsByTagName('input','textarea','select').classlist.toggle('show')
}
add display:none to input:focus
add the following css
.show
{
display:block;
}
Note: Add onclick="Yourfunction()" to your markup to load the js.
Here is an example. http://jsfiddle.net/52c7t/
Simply: I'm trying to get the div on the right side, to have a border like the div on the left. (I'd want the border to be on the left side of the right div)
I tried a million different combinations and haven't been able to do it. I was trying to avoid making an image and do this with css.
Thanks for your help!

EDIT: UPDATED LINK
The simple solution is to create another div since your blue div is already made up using the border property.
That new div is essentially a clone of the blue div, but will be colored red and made a little larger using the CSS width property. This becomes a pseudo border for the blue div.
Example of new div:
.trapezoid-border{
vertical-align: middle;
position:absolute;
border-bottom: 60px solid red; /* Color Changed will be pseudo-border color */
border-left: 45px solid transparent;
border-top-left-radius:30px;
*border-top-right-radius:15px;
*border-bottom-right-radius:3px;
height: 0;
width: 53px; /* Extra 3 pix when compared to .trapezoid class width */
display: inline-block;
right:1px;
}
jsFiddle DEMO
Frankly, I think you should be using an image for this, but if you really want or have to avoid that, a somewhat dirty (though I think very convincing looking) fix would be to create a fixed sized red <div>, that you position and rotate (using the transform property) just right to achieve the appropriate effect.
.redborder {
background-color:red;
width:3px;
height:70px;
transform:rotate(37deg);
-ms-transform:rotate(37deg);
-moz-transform:rotate(37deg);
-webkit-transform:rotate(37deg);
-o-transform:rotate(37deg);
position:absolute;
right:70px;
top:-10px;
}

I have inherited a legacy app for a rewrite and have run across a curious problem. There is tabular data displayed on the page where the title of the table is within a trapezoidal shape that resembles a manila envelope tab. At the bottom of such tables, there is usually a button row that is the same shape as the table title but rotated 180°. Currently, this effect is being pulled off by using a square image with a white triangle in one half on a transparent background as a background image in the corner of a rectangular block to achieve the look of a trapezoid. However, this technique is prone to flickering when the page is refreshed.
As an exercise, I have tried to see if I can replace this with a pure CSS technique. I found this link to different shapes in CSS and have emulated the trapezoid to look as I need. I am able to place the table title text within a trapezoid correctly. However, when I need the look of the 180° rotated trapezoid, I am unable to get the text to place within the shape. My code is included below and here is a jsFiddle showing what I have accomplished so far. I understand that the text shows below the rotated trapezoid because the height is set to 0 and I'm using border-top to build the shape. Is there anything I can do to get this to work correctly?
Please keep in mind that I need this to display in IE8 (and possibly also IE8 in compatibility mode -- IE7). Also, I'd like to keep additional HTML elements to a minimum because I want to keep this as semantic as possible. I know I can place a span inside the div and absolutely position that span so that it displays the text within the shape, but when I do that I have to manually set a width on the trapezoid and when the width can vary from button row to button row, I'd rather not go down that path.
Thanks.
HTML:
<div class="trap">Title Text</div>
<div class="trap180">Button Row</div>
CSS:
.trap {
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
border-bottom: 27px solid #F00;
border-right: 27px solid transparent;
height: 0px;
float: left;
line-height: 27px;
padding: 0 4px;
}
.trap180 {
clear: both;
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
border-top: 27px solid #F00;
border-left: 27px solid transparent;
height: 0px;
float: right;
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
line-height: 27px;
padding: 0px 4px 0;
}
It's possible with pseudo-elements. But I don't have access to those old browsers to test.
.trap, .trap180 {
color: black;
font: normal bold 13px Arial;
float: left;
line-height: 30px;
height: 30px;
padding: 0 4px;
background: salmon;
position: relative;
}
.trap180 {
float: right;
margin: 20px 0 0 0;
}
.trap:after,.trap180:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
height: 0px;
width: 40px;
top: 0;
}
.trap:after {
right: -30px;
border-bottom: 30px solid salmon;
border-right: 30px solid transparent;
z-index: -10;
}
.trap180:after {
left: -30px;
border-top: 30px solid salmon;

Frankly, if you need to still support IE7, I would just use images or allow a little graceful degradation.
Some times I may may want an anchor beside a submit button, but I always seem to have problems lining them up ...
a, input[type=submit], input[type=button], button {
font-family: arial;
background: #fff;
color: #777;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 20px !important;
padding: 5px 10px;
margin: 0;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/cXgzM/
with that, anchors are still 2 pixels short
Simply add this to your CSS:
a
{
display: inline-block;
}
I updated your example. Note that this property doesn't work in IE7 and lower. :)
With this html:
<div class="sectionheading">User Information</div>
<table id="UserInputTable" class="xInputTable">
...and this CSS:
.sectionheading{width:100%; font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; background-color:#28BA87; color:white; text-align:center; border-style:solid; border-width:thin; border-color:Black; border-collapse:separate; overflow:hidden}
.xInputTable {text-align:left;
vertical-align:middle;
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
border-collapse:separate;
overflow:hidden}
table.xInputTable {width:100%; border: solid thin red; border-top-style:none;}
The DIV ends up rendering 2 pixels wider in both IE and Firefox (the left borders line up perfectly, the right borders are off by two pixels). Using the IE web dev toolbar, both elements have a width of 100%. In Firebug, they have widths of 950px and 948px. Here is the computed CSS (from IE developer toolbar):
DIV
BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: thin;
BACKGROUND-REPEAT: repeat;
BORDER-RIGHT: thin solid black;
WIDTH: 100%;
FONT-SIZE: 300;
MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px;

BORDER-LEFT: thin solid black;
BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate;
PADDING-TOP: 0px;
VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle;
DISPLAY: block;
BORDER-BOTTOM: thin solid black;
BORDER-TOP: thin solid black;
BACKGROUND: #28ba87;

Any idea what concept I'm missing here?
Wild guess here, but tables by default have cellpadding or cellspacing (can't remember which one) set to 2px by default, unless you set border-collapse: collapse;.
This doesn't affect the table itself, but the td's inside the table.
If my guess is correct, either of the following should work:
Set border-collapse: collapse; in the css for the table
Put "cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"in the` tag
Add a new CSS declaration table.xInputTable td { padding:0; margin:0; }
Could be the 2 pixels for each (left and right) border which aren't taken into account when calculating the width.
Try to not set the width specifically on the div (and maybe the table too). They default to 100% but get calculated slightly different when it's set, I believe.
pb is correct.
When you apply "border" to a table, it will adjust the width to accommodate for the border. DIVs will add the border in addition to the width (as will most elements with a specified width, tables are special).
Hurix is correct that there is no point in adding width 100% to the div since it is a block element and will take up the full width of the parent by default, so you can take it off and it will auto-size to stay inside the parent even with the border added to its width. The table, however, should get the width: 100% if you want it to be full width.
Borders act like padding, so you are adding 2px to your width => 100% + 2px
Also consider using meyers reset.css to make sure your on level ground before jumping in.

Also you are getting sorta crazy with the all caps thing.
Ok so, in my opinion, at this point I would roll all the way back to just the html. Use FireBug religiously and only add one CSS attribute at a time to be sure that it doesn't have a negative effect on the layout.
Unfortunately the nature of CSS is that it is full of exceptions and things to consider with inheritance. Starting with just a reset.css, and maybe making all your different major elements a different background color (because that wont change the size like border) can help you see where you elements ACTUALLY reside.
Following up on kmiyashiro and pb I wanted to add that if you wrapped your table in a div with the style "width:100%; border: solid thin red; border-top-style:none;" and changed the style on "table.xInputTable" to "width: 100%" then everything should line up.
