I have the code:
<div>C</div><div>A</div>
div{
border: 4px solid Brown;
display: inline;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/TKQzT/
So I end up with two rectangles with letters in them.
I was wanting them to display as squares instead. So currently they're rectangles taller than they are wide.
Does anyone know how to style them so they'll come out as perfect squares?
You'll have to set the display to inline-block, so that you can specify an explicit width and height:
div {
display: inline-block;
width: 1.25em;
height: 1.25em;
line-height: 1.25em;
}
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/TKQzT/13/
As letters are higher than wider, you'll have to set the with/height of the box manually.
It's not going to be exact without giving them an equal width and height, but try:
div {
border: 4px solid Brown;
display: inline;
padding:2px 5px;
margin:1px
}
and if you're using inline just so you can line up the div's side by side then I recommend using float and having the div's not inline. This way you can give them a explicit width and height.
div {
border: 4px solid Brown;
padding:2px 5px;
margin:1px;
float:left
}
See demo here: http://jsbin.com/ojumay/edit#html,live
The better way i know to do it is to fix height and width, while using inline-block display to be able to do it.
Try this :
div{
display: inline-block;
height: 1em;
width: 1em;
border: 4px solid Brown;
line-height: 1em;
text-align:center
}

I am trying to make a paragraph to fit the width of a text however, I am getting this white space on line breaks. I am looking for any solution that wouldn't affect text and wouldn't require JavaScript (that could cause a reflow). Doesn't have to be inline-block.

Is there any way that I can make paragraph width match the width of the longest line?
Here is the expected and current result:
* {
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
}
div {
background: gray;
max-width: 130px; // you can ignore this if you dont need to be 130 px
}
p {
background:white;
border-bottom: 1px dotted black;
display: inline-block;
width:100%;
}
As #skyline3000 mentioned:
"match the longest line" - as #James said, there is only one line. You are artificially making line wraps with the max-width. You either need to put real line wraps into the text, or continue to adjust the max-width.
You need to manually specify line breaks which work for me - handling line breaks is rather an easy job for regular users.
body {
background: gray;
}
#container {
background: white;
display: inline-block;
}
span {
border-bottom: 1px dotted black;
max-width: 130px;
background: white;
}
<div id=container>
<span>technique and<br>statement alandscape<br> ordiscovery ainjectn or

</div>

Also, I have decided to move to the span element and wrap it into display: inline-block to achieve this result. I don't know if this result is satisfying to you, I'm not sure if I was trying to fight HTML/CSS spec here. Real line breaks are probably the only solution.
I want to make four equal boxes with 10 small (thumb) boxes in each. How can this be done with css? Here is the image of what is the goal.
So far I have the left column box
.left_column{
margin-top: 10px;
width: 150px;
float: left;
border:2px solid #ccc;
-moz-border-radius: 6px;
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
text-align: left;
padding: 10px;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
color: #888;
}
.left_column p {
text-align: center;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
font-size: 20px;
}
.left_column a {
text-decoration: none;
margin-left: 10px;
}
edit:
Here is the Fiddle
You could create a container for each of the boxes with a fixed width and then put the thumbnails inside. If you use float: left; on the container boxes then they will move depending on the window size.
I can just suggest to use flex box.
It has only support for newer browsers but its actually totally easy to use and its responsive. Here is a small explanation:
http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
The inner content could be simple created then by float:left; and display: inline-block;
Here is an example on jsfiddle:

I would like to create a header that spans over 1 or two lines vertically. I would like to align these headers via the bottom line. I have created a jsfiddle page to demonstrate this:
http://jsfiddle.net/S35Db/
HTML:
<h3>ABC</h3><h3>DEF JEH</h3>
CSS:
h3 {
float:left;
border: 1px solid grey;
padding:10px;
margin: 5px;
max-width:3em;
height:3em;
}
What I would like to do is align the ABC to the JEH. How do I go about doing this? Do I need to create container around the header?
Thanks
CSS :
h3 {
float:left;
border: 1px solid grey;
padding:10px;
margin: 5px;
max-width:3em;
height:3em;
}
.bottom {
line-height:65px;
}
HTML :
<h3 class="bottom">ABC</h3>
<h3>DEF JEH</h3>
Try this I think ie. what you need.
Yes you need to keep one container around it. Also remove float element and apply table-cell property like below.
div{display:table;height:3em;}
h3 {
border: 1px solid grey;
padding:10px;
margin: 5px;
max-width:3em;
border: 1px solid grey;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: bottom;
display:table-cell;
}
DEMO
you can provide line-height to your first header.
Fiddle
I have an <h2> title into a fixed with <div> (238px). When this page is rendered, the browser manage line breaks into the title to make the text fit the width (238px).
But the width property of the h2 element is still 238px, no matters where the line breaks are.
I want to set a border-bottom only under the text, and not under the full width of the h2 element, and I don't know how to achieve this using CSS.
You can see what I mean here : http://jsfiddle.net/np3rJ/2/
Thanks
I think this is what you need:
<h2><span>Horizon 2020, nouvelles opportunités</span></h2>
h2 span {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 5px;
}
h2 span::after{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 1px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
content: ""
}
Working demo in jsFiddle
I used the technique described in this answer: Advanced CSS challenge: underline only the final line of text with CSS
I introduced a span into the H2 in order not to change the display attribute of it, but you could just as easily use the same technique with a display: inline on your H2. This method would allow the control of the actual line though rather than setting display: inline if needed
This works on Chrome.
h2 {
width: fit-content;
}
If you are willing to use display: table-cell, and pseudo-elements, you can have a pretty good solution (with some minor limitations).
The HTML does not change:
<div class="dossier_titre">
<h2>Horizon 2020, nouvelles opportunités</h2>
</div>
and you can apply the following CSS:
.zone_33 {
width: 238px;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
.zone_33 .dossier_titre {
margin: 0px 0px 20px 0px;
}
.zone_33 h2 {
color: #616263;
font-size: 150%;
font-weight: lighter;
padding: 0px 0px 12px 0px;
background: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
display: table-cell;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.zone_33 .dossier_titre:after {
content: "";
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
}
For the <h2> element, set display: table-cell, and add a pseudo-element after .dossier_titre (the containing block for the header/title element). The pseudo-element is also a table-cell and has a width of 100% (this is the key).
Also, since h2 is no longer a block element, add your margins to .dossier_titre to maintain the visual spacing in our layout.
How This Works
I am creating a two-cell table with the second cell (the pseudo-element) having a width of 100%. This triggers the browser to calculate the shrink-to-fit width for the first cell (h2) that contains the title text. The first cell's width is thus the minimal needed to display the text. The bottom border is as long as the longest text line in the text block within the table-cell.
Limitations
table-cell is not supported in IE7 without a hack, but the work-around is fairly well known and can be found if needed.
If the title had many short words, you might get the line breaking in unexpected places. You would need to insert   to keep specific words together as needed.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/h34pL/
Maybe display: inline-block; Or display: inline; is what you need?
Why not try:
text-decoration:underline
?
EDIT
Just make a span around "OPPORTUNITÉS" with the underline.
<h2>Horizon 2020, nouvelles <span class="underline">opportunités</span> </h2>
.underline {
text-decoration:underline
}
Can try "text-underline-position" property instead of table-cell and border. Make it simple!
text-decoration: underline;
text-underline-position: under;
All you can do is put your h2 element text into span like this:
<h2><span>Horizon 2020, nouvelles opportunités</span></h2>
and in css remove border-bottom from .zone_33 h2 {} and put it like this:
.zone_33 h2 span{ border-bottom: 1px solid grey;}
by this border-bottom will come under full text.
Try this, (I think it will help you)
.heading {
position: relative;
color: $gray-light;
font-weight: 700;
bottom: 5px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
display:inline-block;
}
.heading::after {
position: absolute;
display:inline-block;
border: 1px solid $brand-primary !important;
bottom: -1px;
content: "";
height: 2px;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
You could put a border-bottom and change the width of your h2 so that the border length matches your h2 length. Adjust the width to the width of your h2, taking into consideration it's font-size. Then add a padding-bottom to your h2 and set it to your liking.
<h2>Cats</h2>
h2{
border-bottom: 5px solid black;
font-size: 16px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
width: 64px;
}
I have what I think is some pretty basic css, and it behaves differently in FF4 and IE8.
The CSS in question is like this:
div.showme {
border: 1px dotted blue;
position: absolute;
top :10px;
bottom :10px;
left: 1%;
right: 33%;
overflow: auto;
padding: 0.8em 1em 0.8em 1em;
line-height:1.75em;
}
div.showme a {
padding: 0em 5px 0em 5px;
margin: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
color: #FF00FF;
background-color:#E6E6FA;
border: 1px solid grey;
padding: 0em 4px 0em 4px; }
div.showme a:link { color: blue; }
div.showme a:visited { color: #1E90FF; }
div.showme a:active { color: red; }
The relevant HTML looks like this:
<div class='showme'>
<a href='one'>one</a>
<a href='two'>two</a>
...
</div>
The problem is, the padding is not consistently displayed, in IE8.
In Firefox, it works as I would expect.
working example:
http://jsbin.com/ogosa4
Using the above working demonstration, if you resize the window you will see the padding on the "leading" element on each line within the div, change from zero to non-zero.
How can I fix this?
If you add display: inline-block; to your div.showme a {} the padding will be applied in IE also, but it has some impact with the line height and you may need to specify additional margin's
I have seen this behaviour in Opera too. The padding goes to the upper line. Try display: inline-block and white-space:nowrap if you have more than one word in the link...
You can safely use inline-block in IE7 with inline tags.
