I have a vertical CSS sprite menu.
I would like to realize a (at example) 3 pixel space between each of the vertical buttons.
Is it possible to create this spaces with CSS?
or is the only option to resize the Sprite with all buttons and set all positions new in the CSS file?
Yes, it's simple to use but the main problem with your markup. write like this:
ul#menu {
clear: both;
float: right;
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#menu li {
margin-bottom: 3px;
margin-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
text-indent: -9999px;
}
& remove <br> from your html
Yes it's possible.
Assuming that each button uses the background independently of the other buttons, you can simply put a margin on each one:
for example:
#menu li{
background: url(../urlToSprite) /* set positions elsewhere */
margin-bottom:3px;
}

So I'm developing a web page, and I'm making it now responsive. I managed to get everything responsive except the main menu nav.
It's a ul element and it has li inside with text. Here are some pictures about the problem
Full webpage:
On mobile:
I just want to adjust the text or the ul element to fit without making another line.
Here's the css ul element:
.main-menu ul {
display: table !important;
background-color: #98B709;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
}
And the li element:
.main-menu ul li {
display: inline-block;
float: left;
position: relative;
list-style: none;
}
I tried a lot of things but nothing works...
Thanks and hope you guys can help me!
I found a very useful Stackoverflow post that should answer your question:
Responsive Font Size
And I experienced that changing font size and other problematic parts from px to em generally helps to make is more responsive too.
Try to use different font size e.g
vw Relative to 1% of the width of the viewport
vh Relative to 1% of the height of the viewport
Here is a variation that does not use display:table, which I always avoid.
The important bit you can play with is the 'width' of the 'li' element. If you really want to squash them all on one line, you can make this a very small %.
If you do use the second line, the 'text-align:center' in the 'ul' element will keep everything centered, instead of floating left as you have it now.
I use this code block all the time; it's a common problem.
#main{
width:100%;
}
#main ul {
display: block;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#main li {
width:10%;
list-style: none;
display: inline-block;
padding: 0;
margin: 8px;
}
I am using this template on my website: http://www.css3templates.co.uk/templates/CSS3_gallery_grey/index.html
jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uPw85/
What I need help with:
1) Center the menu on the page, as you can see on the link it's left aligned.
2) Still keep the text in the drop down menus aligned to the left (just as in the link above).
I've searched this page and on Google a lot before asking for help and none of the results have worked for me. I've tried just about every tip I've found but the menu still won't be centered for me, the only thing that happens is that the text in the drop down menu is centered but I want to keep it to the left.
I've tried with multiple variations of these in different places (nav, menu, li, ul) in the CSS but with no luck:
display: inline-block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;,
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: center;
width: auto;
EDIT 2/10, 1 PM EST: I appreciate you guys trying to help but so far none of the answers you've given has helped.
Try this:
ul.sf-menu {
text-align: center;
}
ul.sf-menu li {
display: inline-block;
}
ul.sf-menu li a {
display: block;
}
ul.sf-menu ul {
text-align: left;
}
EDIT:
I've edited the JSfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/uPw85/3/
EDIT 2:
Remove float: left in ul#nav, or just remove the id="nav" in the ul-tag in the html
In order to center the menu you need to set the width of the child div to be smaller than a set width of a parent. Additionally need to remove the float of the menu as floating an element effectively takes it out of the parent div.
Try setting the following:
ul.sf-menu {
float: none;
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Works when inspecting element. Another alternative would be to try the following code.
ul.sf-menu {
float: none;
display: table;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Just add:
ul#nav {
float:left;
padding-left: 80px;
}
Here's my struggle. So I've been wondering how I could make the navbar-links fill out 100% of the nav. So that they have an equal amount of spacing and the font-size will decrease if more links were added - this way it will always fill out 100%.
As it is now, I cannot seem to achieve this. I've only got a set padding, but I've tried doing stuff like:
display: block;
float: left;
width: 100%;
but it's giving me all kind of effects that doesn't work at all :S
Anyone able to help me out on this?
Codepen example
Remove width from #main-navigation and add with to #main-navigation li with a value equal to the 100/the_numberof_elements_in_the list. Your css should be:
#main-navigation {
height: 54px;
overflow: hidden;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
#main-navigation ul {
height: 54px;
overflow: hidden;
}
#main-navigation li {
font-size: 1.0em;
text-transform: uppercase;
list-style: none;
float: left;
width: 20%;
}
This way you'll have your nav occupying all the available width, but your font-size will not automatically resize. You'll should change it also in function of the number of elements (similar the way you have to do to the li's width). If your are generating this list dynamically at server side, you could do the same with the css and then calculate the right values for these two attributes. If your are using ajax to populate the list, you could do change the attributes with javascript.
A way of doing this is using display: table on the parent and display:table-cell on the children. I believe it won't work on some versions of IE (of course). Here's an exaple
You can use the nav tag instead and treat it as table. Treat the <ul> tag as table-row and <li> tag as table-cell. Ex:
nav{
display: table;
text-align: center;
width: 100%
}
nav ul{
display: table-row;
}
nav ul li {
display: table-cell;
}
This will stretch the contents of <li> 100%
I learnt it from the following link: http://www.darkstardesign.com/darkstar-blog/2012/11/27/stretching-horizontal-navigation-menus-to-the-full-width-of-a-layout/
I have an issue with the sliding doors technique here. The heading right after the description is floating left due to the sliding doors technique, but all I want is that is stands alone in the center, above the products.
Can you help me understanding how to do it?
Here is the CSS I used for the heading:
h3.offer-title, h3#comments, h3#reply-title {
background:url(images/offer-title-bg.png) no-repeat right bottom;
color:#434343;
display:block;
float:left;
font-size: 14px;
margin-right: 6px;
padding-right:6px;
text-decoration:none;
height: 43px;
line-height: 0;
position: relative; }
h3.offer-title span, h3#comments span, h3#reply-title span {
background:url(images/offer-title-bg.png) no-repeat;
display:block;
padding-left: 20px;
height: 43px;
line-height: 43px;
padding-right: 16px;
}
Thank you.
It's floating because you set float: left in your first CSS code block. To get rid of that behaviour you need to get rid of the float.
Once the float is gone, if you want the header's background to nicely fit the text like it did before, the element needs to have display: inline-block.
But with display: inline-block and no set width on the header (you could add a width, but then it might break if you want to change the text or font size), it's not centered. To get it centered, you need a wrapper element around it which has text-align: center.
So:
Add this block:
h3.offer-title {
display: inline-block; /* this makes the bg fit the text */
float: none; /* this overrides float:left */
}
Wrap the offer-title element in another div.
Style the wrapper with
.offer-title-wrapper {
text-align: center;
}
Im using the whiteboard theme for wordpress.
My navigation is aligned to the right hand side of my header, however the navigation text is overlapping, the two inks in the navigation overlap each other on the header. any idea why?
#nav-primary {
clear: both;
width: 100%;
padding: 0 10px;
}
#nav-primary ul,
#nav-primary li {
list-style: none;
}
#nav-primary a {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
padding: 10px;
width: auto;
/*bottom: auto;*/
}
try using z-index:99; or create a relative div id if you are using position absolute.
It seems that position: absolute is doing you no favours here. Try removing this.
You also might be inheriting undesirable styles from your basic list style, but without seeing the whole CSS file we won't be able to determine that.
