Could you please help me to achieve layout as in this example?
Sample items in this list loads dynamically into view and length can be various. And it seems like the count of dots should change according to this. I try to use <table> element but it only I can set is dotted border to bottom and this is not my case because I need it in the middle of the row.
You could make the dots a vertically centered background for the TD. The content itself has a white background, so that the dots are hidden under the text.
Example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/willemvb/QkEzr/
Here is what you could do in a quick and easy way with just CSS. Just create three blocks(div's). And give a bottom border to the middle div. Then move it's position a bit higher(margin-top with a negative value). I guess that's what you needed.
If you're using table, then no problem. Just add another div inside the second column. And add the bottom border as I said above. And move the div upper. Simple.
Here's a javascript solution. The idea is to set the font to monospace, and then place dots depending on the number of characters in a given row relative to the max number of characters in the samples column.
var samplePts = new Array( new Array("Sample",23), new Array("Longer Sample",9), new Array("Much Londer Sample",125) );
var maxSampleLen = 0;
for (var i=0; i<samplePts.length; i++){
var currLen = samplePts[i][0].length;
if (currLen > maxSampleLen){
maxSampleLen = currLen;
}
}
for (var i=0; i<samplePts.length; i++){
var outputStr = "<div style='font-family: monospace;'>"+samplePts[i][0];
for (var n=0; n<maxSampleLen-samplePts[i][0].length+5; n++){
outputStr += "·";
}
outputStr += samplePts[i][1]+"</div>";
document.write(outputStr);
}

I'm making a bunch of stacked divs that will expand when moused-over to show an image, but I have a lot of images.
Is there a way in CSS or JS (I don't really know anything about JS) to have each div automatically use the next image in a folder? ex: the images are named map1.jpg, map2.jpg ... map91.jpg. and be able to use the same background-image:url but have something telling it to add 1 to the next image for each new div so I don't have to manually specify 90+ different images.
I hope I was able to explain that well enough. Thanks =)
In CSS this is impossible, cause you can't concatenate the url path for background-image.
in javascript this is pretty simple, using jQuery you can simply load all div you need when body is ready:
// on page load
$(document).ready(function(){
// 10 images to div #image-board
for(var i=0; i<10; i++){
// create a div with image #i
$('#image-board').append('<div><img src="my/collection/folder/Image'+i+'.jpg"></div>');
}
});
don't forget to create in your HTML page a <div id="image-board"></div> where all images will be listed to
I'll try to include lots of detail since you say you're unfamiliar with JavaScript. When you say stacked divs, I assume you mean one inside another. Start with a div with appropriate id and background in your html <div id="div0" style="background-image:url('map0.jpg')"></div> Here's some Javascript using jQuery (a very common javascript library you can include with a script tag) that will add a new div inside your first div with the updated url name.
for (var i = 0; i < number_of_images - 1; i++) {
var oldId = '#div' + i;
var newId = 'div' + (i + 1);
var newUrl = 'map'+(i+1)+'.jpg';
var newdiv = '<div id="' + newId + '" style="background-image:url('+newUrl+')></div>';
$(oldId).append(newdiv);
}
The for loop will go over every image, then a string is created in a series of concatenations that becomes your updated div. The '$' searches for the DOM element with that id, then adds the new div inside it. If by stacked you meant a new div underneath but not contained by the previous div, use .insertAfter instead of .append. Assuming your webpage can reach all of the images, this should work. Also notice I've 0 indexed this (the standard in Javascript) but your question referred to map1 as the first map. If you have already named these maps, you may need to re-index the for loop to 1.
Anybody know how I could wrap the text in reverse order, from bottom to top?
I attached an example image.
[][http://i.stack.imgur.com/RVsIG.jpg]
Instead of breaking the line after it is full and having an incomplete line at the end, I need to brake somehow from bottom to top, so bottom lines are full and top line is incomplete.
I would not recommend using exotic CSS attributes which aren't even in Chrome & Firefox yet. The best cross-browser solution is to handle this in Javascript when the document loads. Here's a sketch of how to do that:
$(function() {
$(".title").each(function(i,title) {
var width = 0;
var originalHeight = $(title).height();
var spacer = $('<div style="float:right;height:1px;"/>').prependTo(title);
while (originalHeight == $(title).height()) {
spacer.width( ++width );
}
spacer.width( --width );
});
});
Working JSFiddle is here: http://jsfiddle.net/zephod/hfuu3m49/1/
6 years later, but fret not! I have found a pure CSS solution!
Turns out you can achieve this result with flexbox, but it's not obvious or very straight forward. This is what I started out with:
I want the header to be "bottom-heavy", the same effect as you describe in the question.
I began by splitting up my string by whitespace and giving them each a <span> parent. By using flex-wrap: wrap-reverse, and align-content: flex-start. You will achieve this:
Oh no! Now the order is messed up! Here comes the trick. By reversing both the order in which you add spans to the HTML and the direction order of flex with 'flex-direction: row-reverse', you actually achieve the "pyramid-shaped" upwards overflow effect you desire.
Here is my (simplified) code, using react and react-bootstrap:
<Row className='d-flex flex-wrap-reverse flex-row-reverse align-content-start'>
{props.deck.name
.split(' ')
.reverse()
.map(word => (
<span className='mr-1'>{word}</span>
))}
</Row>
There is no general css solution for it. You must have to utilize help of any language.
This is one of the solution using PHP:
<?php
$str= "This is what I want to achieve with your help";
$str = strrev($str);
$exp = str_split($str,18);
$str = implode(">rb<", $exp);
echo strrev($str);
?>
Well, if that is depending on the text, then you can try something like a word replacer. For example
var words = "This is what I want to achieve";
var newWords.replace("what", "what <br />"); // note the line break
document.write(newWords);
Here is a fiddle for you: http://jsfiddle.net/afzaal_ahmad_zeeshan/Ume85/
Otherwise, I don't think you can break a line depending on number of characters in a line.
Wrap and Nowrap will be rendered by the client-browser, so you can not force the browser to wrap from bottom to top. but you can do that with javascript or asp.
This is not a formal solution for this problem. But see if this helps.
The HTML CODE
<div id="mydiv">
I can imagine the logic behind the code having to detect what is the last line, detect the div size, and the font size... then measure how many characters it can fit and finally go to the above line and insert the break where necessary. Some font families might make this harder, but trial and error should solve the issue once the basic code is set..
</div>
CSS:
#mydiv
{
width:1000px;
line-height:18px;
font-size:20px;
text-align:justify;
word-break:break-all;
}
Here setting the div width around 50 times that of the font-size will give you the precise result. Other width values or font values might slightly disorient the last line, giving some blank space after the last character.(Could not solve that part, yet).
JQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
//GET the total height of the element
var height = $('#mydiv').outerHeight();
//Get the height of each line, which is set in CSS
var lineheight = $('#mydiv').css('line-height');
//Divide The total height by line height to get the no of lines.
var globalHeight = parseInt(height)/parseInt(lineheight);
var myContent = $('#mydiv').html();
var quotient = 0;
//As long as no of lines does not increase, keep looping.
while(quotient<=globalHeight)
{
//Add tiny single blank space to the div's beginning
$('#mydiv').html(' '+myContent);
//Get the new height of line and height of div and get the new no of lines and loop again.
height = $('#mydiv').outerHeight();
lineheight = $('#mydiv').css('line-height');
quotient = parseInt(height)/parseInt(lineheight);
myContent = $('#mydiv').html();
}
//get the final div content after exiting the loop.
var myString = $('#mydiv').html();
//This is to remove the extra space, which will put the last chars to a new line.
var newString = myString.substr(1);
$('#mydiv').html(newString);
});
If you already know where you want your breaks to take place just use simple HTML breaks to break your content and have it display the way you want.
<p>This is what<br/>
want to acheive with your help</p>
If you set the breaks manually (and you know where you want them to break) then create them yourself.
You could also try setting separate css width adjustments based on the dimensions of the screen you are seeing the breaking you are not liking and set an #media reference to make the div width smaller to break the text so it doesn't run unevenly across the top of certain size devices.
Use display: inline-block; on the text div.
I have some keywords that show up in separate inline-block elements with 10%(=80px) width. Currently I am setting overflow:hidden; for longer words, but it's not a good practice. I want that if some of these keywords are longer than usual, their parent div (the one with currently 10% width applied to) should be twice its size: 160px. I wonder if this can be solved with CSS3 only.
I'll try to explain it visually:
+__80px__+__80px__+__80px__+
+__text__+
+__longer text____+
+______way longer text_____+
instead of
+overflow hi+ or +random width to fit text+
If the text does not fit in 80px, its container should be 160px. That simple. Please help me.
I can't think of any way to do this in CSS, but with a little JavaScript magic you can make it work:
// assuming all elements are in a container with id="container"...
var qsa = document.getElementById('container').children, l = qsa.length, i;
for( i=0; i<l; i++) {
if( qsa[i].scrollWidth > 240) {
// this one handles REALLY long text by cutting them off with "..."
qsa[i].style.textOverflow = "ellipsis";
qsa[i].style.whiteSpace = "nowrap";
}
if( qsa[i].scrollWidth > 160) qsa[i].style.width = "240px";
else if( qsa[i].scrollWidth > 80) qsa[i].style.width = "160px";
// else do nothing, leave the deafult 80 width
}
I've got a list with list-style-none which needs to be able to add new items to itself via Ajax and have the background expand appropriately when it does. Adding via Ajax is easy, but every solution I try for the background fails me. I don't know if it's even possible; is it? I'm using a grid like this one:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/sortable/#display-grid
Both WebKit and Firebug are showing me skinny, empty bars when I hover over the enclosing divs and/or the enclosing ul tag. It appears that the minute you set a list loose with list-style-none and float:wherever, you give up control over its background. But that can't be right.
This is something I've run into a number of times. The problem is that floated elements aren't part of the normal box model, so they don't cause their parent elements to expand unless their parent elements are also floated. So if possible, float the ul or containing div.
Edit:
See quirksmode for another css-only workaround.
Could you provide a sample of your code? Also, why does the list have display:none set?
For instance, should be as simple as this:
HTML:
<ul id="dest"></ul>
JS:
// Simplified example, most likely wrapped in $.ajax
// This is the AJAX response function
function(data, response) {
var items = json.parse(data);
$.each(items, function() {
// Assumes item has a name property
$('#dest').append($('<li>' + this.name + '</li>'));
});
}
Should be just that simple. You shouldn't need the hide the list initially, as you can simply append list items and have the display update appropriately.
Hope that helps.
You need to explicitly set the width and height for the area.
Check out this link for Horizontal Scrolling: http://valums.com/scroll-menu-jquery/
Here is the script:
$(function(){
//Get our elements for faster access and set overlay width
var div = $('div.sc_menu'),
ul = $('ul.sc_menu'),
// unordered list's left margin
ulPadding = 15;
//Get menu width
var divWidth = div.width();
//Remove scrollbars
div.css({overflow: 'hidden'});
//Find last image container
var lastLi = ul.find('li:last-child');
//When user move mouse over menu
div.mousemove(function(e){
//As images are loaded ul width increases,
//so we recalculate it each time
var ulWidth = lastLi[0].offsetLeft + lastLi.outerWidth() + ulPadding;
var left = (e.pageX - div.offset().left) * (ulWidth-divWidth) / divWidth;
div.scrollLeft(left);
});
});
Basically, you need to update the ulWidth and divWidth when you add the new item.
Then just set the background image to repeat horizontally and you should be set.
ul.sc_menu {background:transparent url(image.png) repeat scroll 0 0;height:100px}
Note: You will need to set the height; otherwise you will not see the background because the li are floated.
For dealing with the float element, maybe you should know it's characteristic, gotcha, and how to deal with it.
See the links below, it also have demo, so you can understand the concept:

I have a MultiLine asp:Textbox (a standard html textarea for those non-asp people) that I want to be auto-sized to fit all it's content only through css. The reason for this is that I want it to be of a specified height in the web browser, with scrolling enabled.
I have implemented a print style sheet however and want all text located in the textarea to be displayed when printed with no overflow hidden.
I can manually specify the height of the textarea in the print.css file problem with this being that the fields are optional and a 350px blank box is not optimal and there is always the possibility of a larger amount of text than this...
I have tried using :
height: auto;
height: 100%;
In IE and Firefox respectively yet these seem to be overridden by the presence of a specified number of rows in the html mark-up for the form which must be generated by .NET when you do not specify a height on the asp:Textbox tag, this seems to only accept numercial measurements such as px em etc...
Any ideas?
What you are asking for (a css solution) is not possible.
The content of the textarea is not html elements, so it can not be used by css to calculate the size of the textarea.
The only thing that could work would be Javascript, e.g. reading the scrollHeight property and use that to set the height of the element. Still the scrollHeight property is non-standard, so it might not work in all browsers.
jQuery or a javascript function to find and make textboxes bigger might be the best solution - at least thats what i found
we use this set of functions and call clean form after the page is loaded (i know this isnt the best solution right here and am working to transfer to a jQuery solution that is more elegant) - one note make sure your textareas have rows and cols specified or it doesnt work right.
function countLines(strtocount, cols)
{
var hard_lines = 1;
var last = 0;
while (true)
{
last = strtocount.indexOf("\n", last + 1);
hard_lines++;
if (last == -1) break;
}
var soft_lines = Math.round(strtocount.length / (cols - 1));
var hard = eval("hard_lines " + unescape("%3e") + "soft_lines;");
if (hard) soft_lines = hard_lines; return soft_lines;
}
function cleanForm()
{
var the_form = document.forms[0];
for (var i = 0, il = the_form.length; i < il; i++)
{
if (!the_form[i]) continue;
if (typeof the_form[i].rows != "number") continue;
the_form[i].rows = countLines(the_form[i].value, the_form[i].cols) + 1;
}
setTimeout("cleanForm();", 3000);
}
If you set rows to be a ridiculously high number the CSS height rule should override it on the screen.
Then in the print stylesheet just set height to auto. This might result in some big blank space where all the available rows haven't been filled up, but at least all text will be visible.
