How do I cut the shared border line between these two divs? I want the top small div to have border on three sides expect bottom and the larder div below that to have only top border but leaving the shared border. So it will look like a line running across both divs upper borders.
I tried overlaying top div on the bottom. But Not getting what I want.
.ihead {
background-color: #EEE;
width: 15em;
height: 3em;
text-align:center center;
border-top:1px solid black;
border-left:1px solid black;
border-right:1px solid black;
border-bottom:none;
}
.ibody {
background-color: #EEE;
width: 60em;
height:20em;
margin-top:3em;
border-top:1px solid black;
z-index: 10;
}
<div class="ihead"><h>Hello !</h></div>
<div class="ibody">......</div>

The normal way you'd achieve this effect is to have the box on top move down over the top of it's border. In your example, you can achieve this by adding position: relative; bottom: -1px to your .ihead class and removing the margin-top: 3em from your .ibody class.
See the jsFiddle.
.bordered{
border: 1px solid black;
}
.bordered:not(:first-child){ //to merge borders between rows
border-top: none;
}
.bordered:not(:first-child){ //if you want to merge between columns
border-left: none;
}
<div class="bordered"><h1>Test1</h1></div>
<div class="bordered"><h1>Test2</h1></div>
<div class="bordered"><h1>Test3</h1></div>
This question was the first that popped up for me so i felt it was best if i answered it properly unlike the accepted answer above.
Using css:
.bordered{
border: 1px solid black;
}
.bordered:not(:first-child){ //to merge borders between rows
border-top: none;
}
.bordered:not(:first-child){ //if you want to merge between columns
border-left: none;
}

Ok, so for the sake of argument i have a box with a grey left and right border with an 8 pixel border bottom with a different colour.
The way borders display is showing the bottom border inside the left and right border. Ive done some research but i cannot find a way that is possible for the bottom border to display under the side borders as apposed to inside them. Sorry if i have not explained this too well please feel free to ask if you need any more information. Please follow the link below to a quick fiddle i have created.
<div class="bg">
<div class="box">
Box
</div>
</div>
.bg {
background-color: #fff;
width: 72%;
float: left;
height: 100%;
padding: 100px;
}
.box {
background-color: #fff;
height: 200px;
width: 200px;
float: left;
margin-left: 100px;
border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 8px solid black;
}

Thanks in advance people.
I think the best way of going about this is to forgo the border-bottom completely, and instead use a box-shadow property:
.box {
border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
box-shadow: 0px 8px black;
}
Is it possible to recreate a box like this without using background images and only one element?
Ideally, I'd be able to control which corners are darkened by adding a class, so the above image might be class="box dark-top dark-left dark-bottom dark-right". I can darken two by using :before and :after, but am having problems thinking of a good way to darken three or four corners without adding additional markup.
Here's a way to darken all four corners with one element, though I haven't figured out how to darken specific corners yet. But my theory was to have the original border as the dark border, and then /lighten/ the sides of the box with pseudo-elements.
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/KZSLH/
.box {width:236px; height:236px; border:1px solid #333; position:relative;}
.box:before {content:""; display:block; width:200px; height:236px; position:absolute; top:-1px; left:18px; border-top:1px solid #ccc; border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;}
.box:after {content:""; display:block; width:236px; height:200px; position:absolute; top:18px; left:-1px; border-left:1px solid #ccc; border-right:1px solid #ccc;}
It's far from perfect, but this is the only way I could think of to do something like that... You'll want to play around with the border thickness, border radius and which borders are rounded to really have it suit your needs
The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to get the edges of the corners to be sharp rather than tapering off... Maybe someone could contribute that part?
First, start off with two overlapping div elements:
<div id="thick" />
<div id="thin" />
Then, use rounded corners and relative positioning to taper off and create the "bold" corners.
#thick {
position:absolute;
top:50px;
left:50px;
height:100px;
width:100px;
background-color:white;
border:3px solid black;
}
#thin {
position:relative;
top:-2px;
left:-2px;
height:104px;
width:104px;
background-color:white;
border-radius: 15px;
}
Here is a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bGrdA/
And credit to this post for giving me the idea.
I think I figured it out. The key is that there must be content inside of the box in it's own element, which will always be the case my scenario.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/n7pgP/
The classes that can be added to the box are:
dtl = darken top left
dtr = darken top right
dbl = darken bottom left
dbr = darken bottom right
Some thing this can be tried out for two elements
http://jsfiddle.net/V8jmR/
#content {position:relative;width:400px;height:300px;}
#content:before, #content:after, #content>:first-child:before, #content>:first-child:after {
position:absolute;
width:80px; height: 80px;
border-color:red; /* or whatever colour */
border-style:solid; /* or whatever style */
content: ' ';
}
#content:before {top:0;left:0;border-width: 1px 0 0 1px}
#content:after {top:0;right:0;border-width: 1px 1px 0 0}
#content>:first-child:before {bottom:0;right:0;border-width: 0 1px 1px 0}
#content>:first-child:after {bottom:0;left:0;border-width: 0 0 1px 1px}
Original answer
CSS - show only corner border
The only possibility I know is in using additional elements:
<div class="box">
<span class="darkTopLeft"></span>
<span class="darkTopRight"></span>
<span class="darkBottomLeft"></span>
<span class="darkBottomRight"></span>
</div>
.box {
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
height: 100px;
position: relative;
width: 100px;
}
.box > span {
height: 10px;
position: absolute;
width: 10px;
}
.darkTopLeft {
border-left: 1px solid #000;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
left: -1px;
top: -1px;
}
.darkTopRight {
border-right: 1px solid #000;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
right: -1px;
top: -1px;
}
.darkBottomLeft {
bottom: -1px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
border-left: 1px solid #000;
left: -1px;
}
.darkBottomRight {
bottom: -1px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
border-right: 1px solid #000;
right: -1px;
}

I have 4 float: left div containers like so...
I want to display a border when a div is hovered over. However, when I hover over the first or second div, it pushes the bottom div to the left...
I tried adding margin and padding to the div's, but nothing seemed to work.
.div
{
width: 33%;
}
.div:hover
{
boder: solid 1px #EEE;
}
Use a backround coloured or transparent border on the initial state and the size of the box won't change.
.div {
width: 32%; // (33% + 1px border) * 3 = likely more than the width of the container
border: solid 1px transparent;
}
.div:hover {
boder: solid 1px #EEE;
}
One solution is to have a border all of the time, but make it the same color as the background when not hovered.
For example:
.div
{
width: 33%;
border: solid 1px #FFF;
}
.div:hover
{
border: solid 1px #EEE;
}
EDIT: Alternatively if an invisible border won't work (gradient background, etc.) you can add 1px padding when not hovered and make it 0px padding when hovered.
For example:
.div
{
width: 33%;
padding: 1px;
}
.div:hover
{
border: solid 1px #EEE;
padding: 0;
}
I have a question regarding the div element border
I am trying to create bunch of divs that acts like a table
so
<div class='div'>first</div>
<div class='div'>second</div>
<div class='div'>third</div>
<div class='div'>four</div>
My css is
.div{
border: solid 1px black;
}
All my divs have borders but the problem is all my divs's top and bottom border are 2 px instead of 1px because my css apply 1 px on every div. The second and the third div have thinker border on top and bottom.
I can't really change the class name because it's dynamically generated. Is there anyway to work around this issue?
Thanks a lot!
Remove the top border from every element except of the first one.
.div {
border-style: solid;
border-color: black;
border-width: 0 1px 1px 1px;
}
.div:first-child {
border-width: 1px;
}
Here's an example of the difference.
did you tryed write something like this :
.div {
border:1px solid black;
border-bottom:0;
}
.div:last-child {
border-bottom:1px solid black;
}
Try to add this to your styles.
<style>
.div{
border: solid 1px black;
border-bottom:none;
}
.div2{
border: solid 1px black;
}
</style>
Then add this to your body:
<div class='div'>first</div>
<div class='div'>second</div>
<div class='div'>third</div>
<div class='div2'>four</div>
I'm having a 'blonde moment' here - I'm sure this is easy but I can't seem to figure it out.
I have a grid of DIVs (10 rows which are CLEAR:BOTH - each with 10 FLOAT:LEFT DIVs of a fixed size).
What I want to do is assign a border to a group of these and this works (with the non-bordered sides/cells having a transparent border to keep everything aligned) BUT the way individual borders work, the 'corners' leave an ugly effect.
See this for an example
Am I missing an obvious trick to just make that a solid box rather than the 'dotted line' effect the corners are creating??
To clarify my CSS - the rows have this class
.row {
clear: both;
}
and the cells have this class
.cell {
float: left;
border: 5px solid transparent;
}
as well as between 0 and 4 classes like this one
.top { // repeated for bottom, left and right ofc.
border-top: 5px solid black;
}
Compare this:
div {
border: 3px solid white;
border-right: 3px solid black;
}
To this:
div {
border: none;
border-right: 3px solid black;
}
EDIT
The accepted solution was to make the padding take the place of the border, which would make the borders squared off. See:
http://jsfiddle.net/kCd7s/2/
If you put a border on the entire square, this is how border behaves. If you want to avoid this you should give the boxes with a black border dimensions on the sides not having a border equal to the width of the border, so add border: none first, then add dimensions, like if normal height is 20 and border is 5, and you want a border on the right, you would set: height: 30; width: 25; border-right: 5px solid;
Or try this way:
.top::before,
.bottom::before,
.left::after,
.right::after {
content: ".";
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background: black;
display: block;
font-size: 0;
position: absolute;
}
.top::before {
height: 5px;
}
.bottom::before {
height: 5px;
top: 35px;
}
.left::after {
width: 5px;
}
.right::after {
width: 5px;
left: 35px;
}
