HTML-CSS: span inside button aligning right - css

I am having trouble with the alignment of a span contained within a button tag.
I have already done something like this before and it worked. In fact, it's the same css but different sizes.
The problem is that the containing span seems to be aligning to the right.
CSS:
#closePreviewBtn {
position: absolute;
height: 24px;
width: 24px;
right: 0;
background: #B9DEFD;
border-top: solid 1px #333333;
border-left: solid 1px#333333;
border-right: solid 1px #333333;
border-bottom: solid 1px #333333;
border-radius: 4px;
}
#closePreviewBtn .close {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
height: 20px;
width: 20px;
background: url(../imagenes/close.png) no-repeat center;
padding: 0;
/*right: 2px;
bottom: 1px;*/ //This fixes the problem but it's manual
}
HTML:
<html>
<body>
<button id="closePreviewBtn" name="closePreviewBtn"><span class="close"></span></button>
</body>
</html>
Thanks a lot!

Simple fix - seems like the button has a padding by default. Just set it to 0:
#closePreviewBtn {
padding: 0;
}
Now you can position however you want - maybe adding a margin to the span if you want to move it around.
Hope that helps you,

In your #closePreviewBtn rule, remove the right:0;. Setting the position to absolute and right to zero will take the element out of the document flow and position it as far to the right as possible.
jsFiddle example

I noticed that the button still has some padding after resizing it to 10px. I found no way to set that space off.
The solution i've foud to center it was removing the button height and width, because it will expand to wrap the span and it will be centered.
For some weird thing, it works for small buttons. But for bigger buttons like 30px x 50px it will just be fine to set height and width, or at least the padding is very very hard to notice if there's some.

Slick slider table-cell negative margin

This is quite a niche issue, but here goes....
I'm using slick slider and have put together a nested vertical carousel with slider syncing which works great.
I only have 1 CSS issue I just can't resolve.
My vertical slider controls are on the left hand side and the content on the right.
I've used display:table-cell on the vertical controls and content so they appear side by side. All working well so far!
I want to add a triangle to the right of the control, which means I need to add a negative left margin to the content area.
This is where I have a problem....it seems display: table-cell ignores the left margin.
The image below is what I have - notice the gap between the edge of the control and the border of the content. This is what I'm trying to close up
The image below is what I'm after - no gap between control and content border
This is the fiddle I've created https://jsfiddle.net/damiantaylor/njds51yh/220/
Is it possible to fix this issue?
EDIT I have tried changing the display:table-cell to display:inline-block but Slick seems to calculate the width of the content container incorrectly when I do that
I've managed to get this working, but it's a horribly hacky way of piecing the border together.
I'd still love a better answer if there is one!
I've but the border together like this......
.vertical-nav-wrapper:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 13px;
box-sizing: border-box;
height: 100%;
border-top: 1px solid #fe0115;
border-bottom: 1px solid #fe0115;
border-left: none;
clear: both;
border-right: none;
}
.vertical-nav-wrapper:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
right: 13px;
top: 0;
width: 1;
height: 100%;
border-top: none;
border-bottom: none;
border-left: none;
clear: both;
border-right: 1px solid #fe0115;
}
the new fiddle is here https://jsfiddle.net/damiantaylor/njds51yh/263/
EDIT if there's another slider/carousel that will handle what I'm trying to achieve better than Slick, I'd accept that as an answer too!

Creating a border gap

I'm trying to get a gap created within a div's border to fit an image, similar to this:
Is there a way to do this in pure CSS? All I can see is:
.box {
background: url(img.png) bottom left;
border-top: 1px solid #eee;
border-left: 1px solid #eee;
}
But my problem is border-right: 1px solid #eee; creates a line on top of my image, which is of course not desired.
It needs to be responsive. This image is an example, but you get the general idea.
Something like this?
http://jsfiddle.net/6Ufb5/
div {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
position: relative;
}
img {
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
}
Give the container position relative and the img absolute, shift it to left 10px and shift it down 10px from the top and you have what you desire.
For the responsive part, that's just giving the container and/or img a % width.
Like so:
http://jsfiddle.net/6Ufb5/2/
You can achieve this by using absolute positioning of the image element - and it has to be in a <img> element, not as the background image because it will never overlap the parent border (or even if it does by adjusting the background-position property, the border will lie on top of the background image... a behavior that is expected, by the way.
<div class="box">
Content goes here
<img src="http://placehold.it/300x200" />
</div>
And the CSS:
.box {
position: relative;
border: 1px solid #333;
}
.box img {
position: absolute;
bottom: -1px;
right: -1px;
}
If you want a dynamic and/or responsive solution, you might have to resort to JS to doing so - such as resizing the image depending on the box dimensions, and assigning a height to the box to take into account of the image height (since image is absolutely positioned, it is taken out of the document flow).
See fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/teddyrised/xH6UV/
This might work if you can alter your markup. For accessibility I think the image should be an image and not a background, and this method is responsive (though you may want to alter margins at small sizes with media queries).
http://jsfiddle.net/isherwood/79Js5
.box {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
display: inline-block;
padding: 10px 0 10px 10px;
width: 40%;
}
.box img {
margin-right: -10%;
margin-bottom: -10%;
width: 105%;
}
<div class="box">
<img src="http://placehold.it/200x100/f3f3f3" />
</div>

How to get an offset border round the visible part of the browser window

I've got a set up similar to this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/iAJnx where the main content is rather long. What I want to do is to put a border round the visible part of the screen as in this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/ENtLau4.png
What I want to do is to create 4 divs that are positioned at the edges of the screen, but I'm struggling both with the positioning and giving the divs height and width without content. Does anyone have an idea about this?
Note: I've already tried using an overlay, but it makes the content non-clickable.
Try this:
HTML:
<div class="border-box"></div>
CSS:
body { position: relative; }
.border-box {
border: 5px solid blue;
box-shadow: 0 0 100px 100px #fff;
position: fixed;
pointer-events: none;
bottom: 10px;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
top: 10px;
}
How it works:
I absolutely positioned an overlay with borders, that will stick the edges of the screen by using top, bottom, left, right definitions. To make the content below selectable, you set pointer-events: none; on the overlay.
Example: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/BxJbh
If you want to achieve the same results without adding additional HTML markup, you can use the :before sudo selector to prepend a block to the body. Simply add this CSS and it will produce the same results:
body:before {
border: 5px solid blue;
box-shadow: 0 0 100px 100px #fff;
display: block;
content: '';
position: fixed;
pointer-events: none;
bottom: 10px;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
top: 10px;
}
Example: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/BDhql
you have to set in your content id (#content)
border:4px solid blue;
min-width:700px; //change accordingly.
min-height:1600px //change accordingly
The above code will fix the problem of border as well as the height & width you want to set without having any content.

CSS Outside Border

I want to be able to draw a border OUTSIDE of my Div! So if my div is say 20px by 20px, I want a 1px border outside of this (so in essence, I get a div 22x22px large).
I understand that I can just make the div 22x22 to start with, but for reasons I have, I need the borders to be on the outside.
CSS outline works, but I want only border-bottom or border-top thingy, so something like outline-bottom, which does not work, is what I want.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
I think you've got your understanding of the two properties off a little. Border affects the outside edge of the element, making the element different in size. Outline will not change the size or position of the element (takes up no space) and goes outside the border. From your description you want to use the border property.
Look at the simple example below in your browser:
<div style="height: 100px; width: 100px; background: black; color: white; outline: thick solid #00ff00">SOME TEXT HERE</div>
<div style="height: 100px; width: 100px; background: black; color: white; border-left: thick solid #00ff00">SOME TEXT HERE</div>
Notice how the border pushes the bottom div over, but the outline doesn't move the top div and the outline actually overlaps the bottom div.
You can read more about it here:
Border
Outline
Try the outline property CSS Outline
Outline will not interfere with widths and lenghts of the elements/divs!
Please click the link I provided at the bottom to see working demos of the the different ways you can make borders, and inner/inline borders, even ones that do not disrupt the dimensions of the element! No need to add extra divs every time, as mentioned in another answer!
You can also combine borders with outlines, and if you like, box-shadows (also shown via link)
<head>
<style type="text/css" ref="stylesheet">
div {
width:22px;
height:22px;
outline:1px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<div>
outlined
</div>
Usually by default, 'border:' puts the border on the outside of the width, measurement, adding to the overall dimensions, unless you use the 'inset' value:
div {border: inset solid 1px black};
But 'outline:' is an extra border outside of the border, and of course still adds extra width/length to the element.
Hope this helps
PS: I also was inspired to make this for you : Using borders, outlines, and box-shadows
IsisCode gives you a good solution. Another one is to position border div inside parent div. Check this example http://jsfiddle.net/A2tu9/
UPD: You can also use pseudo element :after (:before), in this case HTML will not be polluted with extra markup:
.my-div {
position: relative;
padding: 4px;
...
}
.my-div:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: -3px;
left: -3px;
bottom: -3px;
right: -3px;
border: 1px #888 solid;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/A2tu9/191/
Why not simply using background-clip?
-webkit-background-clip: padding;
-moz-background-clip: padding;
background-clip: padding-box;
See:
http://caniuse.com/#search=background-clip
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background-clip
https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/b/background-clip
I shared two solutions depending on your needs:
<style type="text/css" ref="stylesheet">
.border-inside-box {
border: 1px solid black;
}
.border-inside-box-v1 {
outline: 1px solid black; /* 'border-radius' not available */
}
.border-outside-box-v2 {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 1px black; /* 'border-style' not available (dashed, solid, etc) */
}
</style>
example: https://codepen.io/danieldd/pen/gObEYKj
Way late, but I just ran into a similar issue.
My solution was pseudo elements - no additional markup, and you get to draw the border without affecting the width.
Position the pseudo element absolutely (with the main positioned relatively) and whammo.
See below, JSFiddle here.
.hello {
position: relative;
/* Styling not important */
background: black;
color: white;
padding: 20px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
.hello::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
display: block;
top: 0;
left: -5px;
right: -5px;
bottom: 0;
border-left: 5px solid red;
border-right: 5px solid red;
z-index: -1;
}
Put your div inside another div, apply the border to the outer div with n amount of padding/margin where n is the space you want between them.

Why does Firefox interpret top offset differently from Chrome, Safari and IE?

Take the following example:
This is a textarea, with a background image (the grey bar) and a relative positioned div after the textarea with a top offset to move the text in place.
The Markup:
<textarea cols="40" rows="6" class="some_textarea">Hello</textarea>
<div class="message_text">This is a message</div>
The CSS:
.some_textarea {
background: transparent url(gray_bar.png) repeat-x 50% 100%;
width: 99%;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
border: 1px solid #C3C3C3;
}
.message_text {
display: inline;
color: #999;
font-size: 10px;
position: relative;
top: -21px;
padding: 0 6px;
}
The problem is that Firefox is the only browser that doesn't agree with the offset, and results in this very small pixel pushing annoyance:
What is causing this? How can I fix this for consistency? What non-clunky workarounds exist if it can't be fixed?
UPDATE
http://jsfiddle.net/UnsungHero97/maHkr/7/
How about something like this...
http://jsfiddle.net/UnsungHero97/maHkr/2/
What I did was wrap your textarea/message combo in a relatively positioned div and then absolutely positioned the message to the bottom left. You can play round with the exact positioning/margins/paddings to get it looking good across the browsers.
I hope this helps.
