Hey guys was hoping you can help me out.
been at this for like more than an hour and its driving me crazy.
basically I am a big novice when it comes to CSS but am learning. at the moment I am trying to replicated a menu that looks like this:
what I have so far looks something like this (i know the fonts different but not problem):
As you can see, ive got the background but I just CAN NOT figure out how make the start, end and the breaks (black line part) between each tab.
Also, basically the start, break, end I have as .jpg images. Not looking for html5 or css3 curves etc to do this. Just want to keep it simple :).
this is what I got so far. It would be great if you could could give me some tips on how I could make whats remaining and in case ive used a not-so-great approach, suggest an approach which would be better.
the html:
<div id="header">
<ul id="header-list">
<li class="header-list-item">
<span class= "header-list-item-span" >Home</span>
</li>
<li class="header-list-item">
<span class= "header-list-item-span" >About Us</span>
</li>
<li class="header-list-item">
<span class= "header-list-item-span" >Services</span>
</li>
</ul>
</div><!--END OF HEADER -->
the css:
#header-list{
display: table;
position: relative;
left: -3em;
table-layout: fixed;
margin-bottom: 0PX;
margin-top: 0;
margin-left: auto;
}
.header-list-item-span{
background-image: url("img/menubody.jpg");
color: white;
display: inline-block;
width: 5em;
font-size: large;
text-align: center;
padding: .2em;
}
.header-list-item{
display: table-cell;
height: 4.2em;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
Here's an idea:
Wrap the ul in a div. Set the first jpg as a background image for that div, and add some padding-left so that the image can be visible.
Set the last jpg as a background image for the ul and add some padding-right so that the image can be visible too.
Also, in my opinion, you should simplify your HTML by taking more advantage of CSS selectors.
The header list can be selected as div#header > ul.
The items that you are selecting with the class header-list-item can be selected with div#header > ul > li.
I don't think the span is actually necessary, you could apply the styles directly to the li elements.
Wrap the ul in another div and add padding on the inside to the left and you can place your start image as the background. Then make the right image the background of the ul and add padding on the right.

I want to achieve this:
But there is unnecessary gap on top of the Social icons div. The page is live at http://goo.gl/K17Fjs
My markup:-
<header>
<img src="images/home-layout_02.jpg" alt="Salem Al Hajri Logo">
<div id="top-social">
Follow us on <img src="images/home-layout_05_01.jpg" alt=""><img src="images/home-layout_05_02.jpg" alt=""><img src="images/home-layout_05_03.jpg" alt="">
</div>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Projects</li>
<li>Photo Gallery</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
My CSS:
body {
margin: 0 auto;
background-attachment: scroll;
/*background-image: url(images/home-layout_08.jpg);*/
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: bottom;
}
header {width: 920px; margin: 0 auto;}
#top-social {float: right; text-align: right; vertical-align: middle; padding-top: 13px; width: 538px;}
nav {float: right; width: 538px; text-align: right; margin-top: 45px;}
nav li { display: inline;}
To achieve your layout, you need to float your logo image left.
See this FIDDLE
Add this CSS :
header > img {
float: left;
}
This : header > img {} means propeties will apply only to the first children images of the <header> tag in your case, the logo image and not to the social icons.
Remove "padding-top: 13px;" from your CSS.
Change your style.css line:10 to:
#top-social {
float: right;
text-align: right;
vertical-align: middle;
/*padding-top: 13px;*/
width: 538px;
}
There is a top padding of 13 pixels.
Elements with float: right will be pushed down by other elements that come before them. You can fix this by changing your markup to move the #top-social and nav before the <img>.
However, in this case I think it would be better to absolutely position the top social and the nav to the top right and bottom right of the containing header. This will allow you to easily get the nav links below the social links and keep this appearance.
header {
position: relative;
}
#top-social {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
Hi I'm trying to style the tab sample i found on net.
here is the sample :
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Tabs 2</title>
<style>
body {
font: 0.8em arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}
#header ul {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#header li {
float: left;
border: 1px solid;
border-bottom-width: 0;
margin: 0 0.5em 0 0;
}
#header a {
display: block;
padding: 0 1em;
}
#header #selected {
position: relative;
top: 1px;
background: white;
}
#content {
border: 1px solid;
clear: both;
}
h1 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 1em 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<ul>
<li>This</li>
<li id="selected">That</li>
<li>The Other</li>
<li>Banana</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="content">
<p>Ispum schmipsum.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
the problem is i want to add the background color for header and set it's width to 100%.
see the difference when i add this css code:
#header{
width:100%;
background-color:#b6ff00;
overflow:hidden;
}
before ( selected tab is merged with content )
after ( selected tab has a border-bottom )
how to fix this?
It's because you are adding overflow:hidden to header and
you haven't cleared floats
below are solutions
Clear:both
Here is definition of clear
A common problem with float-based layouts is that the floats' container doesn't want to stretch up to accomodate the floats. If you want to add, say, a border around all floats you'll have to command the browsers somehow to stretch up the container all the way.
Here is your solution and A Quick Fix
"Clearing", 21st Century Style
ul:after {
clear: both !important;
content: ".";
display: block;
float: none;
font-size: 0;
}

I am new to html & css. I made a title and a nav bar on the same height but when I make my browser window smaller(liquid) the title and the nav bar collide. How can I fix this?
This is my css code for the title and nav. bar:
/*title*/
#logo{
width: 35%;
margin-top: 5px;
font-family: georgia;
display: inline-block;
}
/* nav. bar */
#nav{
width: 60%;
display: inline-block;
text-align: right;
float: right;
}
/* unorded list */
#nav ul{}
#nav ul li{
display: inline-block;
height: 62px;
}
/* text*/
#nav ul li a{
padding: 20px;
background: orange;
color: white;
}
And this is the html code:
<div id="logo">
<h1>Baby kleding online</h1>
</div>
<div id="nav">
<ul>
<li><a href="../html/index.html"id="homenav" >Home</a></li>
<li><a href="../html/kleding.html"id="kledingnav" >Kleding</a></li>
<li>Bestellen</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Vragen</li>
</ul>
</div>
Thanks in advance.
What I suggest is giving your logo an absolute position, and floating the nav over it, with a left margin that's the same as the width of your logo.
Example here :
http://codepen.io/anon/pen/uvAaJ
If you can expand your question with the behavior you're looking for it would help... as there are so many ways to handle this situation depending on what you want (absolute + margin, media queries, box-sizing:border-box...).
Should look like this:
(source: gyazo.com)
My attempt
<div class="header">
<div class="container">
<img id="logo" src="img/logo.png"/>
<ul class="menu">
<li class="current">Home</li>
<li>Forums</li>
<li>Donate</li>
<li>Vote</li>
<li>Info</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
I use Current class for the current page background.
Added the header
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 86px;
background-image: url("../img/gradient.png");
background-repeat: repeat-x;
border-bottom: solid 1px #a2a2a2;
}
Floated menu to right, made it display inline and centered the text
.menu {
float: right;
padding: 2.7%;
}
.menu a{
color: #1e1e1e;
}
.menu a:hover{
color: #5e5e5e;
}
.menu li {
display: inline;
float: left;
margin-left: 10px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-top: 5px;
}
Now the part of the current background
.current {
background-image: url("../img/hoverdiamond.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 78px;
height: 36px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-top: 5px;
color: white;
}
Result:
(source: gyazo.com)
Can you see theres a big space between the current and other items? How do I remove this? make it equal to others spaces.
Things I tried:
Adding position relative
result:
Menu item 'current' goes over the menu item 'forums'
I could not find any other way to do so, what am I doing wrong?
Try the following HTML:
<div class="header">
<div class="container">
<img id="logo" src="img/logo.png"/>
<ul class="menu">
<li class="current">Home</li>
<li>Forums</li>
<li>Donate</li>
<li>Vote</li>
<li>Info</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
With the following amends to your CSS:
.menu {
float: right;
padding: 2.7%;
}
.menu li {
float: left;
margin-left: 10px;
}
.menu a{
color: #1e1e1e;
display: block;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-top: 5px;
}
.menu a:hover{
color: #5e5e5e;
}
.current {
background-image: url("../img/hoverdiamond.png");
background-repeat: no-repeat;
color: white;
}
Your HTML was structured incorrectly ... you shouldn't be placing the <li> elements inside the anchor elements.
You also don't need to have display: inline; on the list items, as they are floated left anyway, they should already be inline.
In future, you may want to check that your HTML is valid using the W3C validator, it should explain any errors in your HTML and how you can fix them.
Let me know if the above doesn't fix it and I'll happily have another look.
EDIT: Forgot to also state that I removed the height and width on the current css declaration, that was unnecessary, and almost definitely causing the spacing issues.
Remove the width on .current. That is what's adding the extra spacing.
If you don't want to change that, change the spacing on the the adjacent li:
.current + li {
padding-left: 0;
}
Here is a simplified demo of what you are trying to accomplish. Learn from it:
HTML
<ul>
<li class="current">Home</li>
<li>Forums</li>
<li>Donate</li>
<li>Vote</li>
<li>Info</li>
</ul>
CSS
ul {
float: right;
}
li {
display: inline;
padding: 10px;
}
.current {
background-image: url('http://placekitten.com/200/200');
}
Demo
My website URL is http://www.hentaireader.com
At the bottom right corner, I wish to put a small link on the red footer bar.
I have created a simple image of what I wish to do.
How can I achieve this??
The code on this page is a disaster. With that said you would have to remove the http://www.hentaireader.com/images/bar.gif image from the HTML and use CSS to create a background-image.
Something similar to this would be required...
CSS:
#footer-bar {
width:100%;
background-color:#f40000;
background-image: url(http://www.hentaireader.com/images/bar.gif);
background-position:top center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
text-align: right;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
#footer-bar ul {
width: 950px;
height: 30px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
position: relative;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
}
#footer-bar li {
display: inline;
line-height: 30px;
margin-left: 6px;
}
#footer-bar li a {
color: #FFFFFF;
}
HTML:
<div id="footer">
<div id="footer-bar">
<ul>
<li>Contact</li>
<li>Another Link</li>
</ul>
</div>

Ok, well first of all. Do you see the red bar? You have a div inside of the div you have an image. You should have put the (red bar) image as a background, and put a link inside the div. Then you could haver positioned the link where you wanted it with padding/margin.
#footer a {}
