I am applying dynamic classes "float-left", "float-right" and "float-center" to the Lists to position them properly where I want, but for centering as there is no float:center; I tried with margins, inline-block; text-align:center.. but nothing works.. please check this fiddle
ul.tabs .center {
margin:0 auto;
text-align:center;
overflow:hidden;
}
.float-center li{
display:inline-block;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/443E2/
Use the following code:
.float-center {
text-align: center;
}
.tabs.float-center li {
display: inline-block;
float; none;
margin-left: -4px; /* Fix for white spaces between li while using inline-block */
}
.tabs.float-center li:last-child {
border-right: 1px solid #999;
}

I changed this to centre the content of the <li>:
.tab_content {
padding: 20px;
font-size: 1.2em;
text-align:center;
}
so i was wondering if this where possible.
i am building a navigation.
<nav id="navigation">
<div class="nav_buttons">home</div>
<div class="nav_buttons">system</div>
<div class="nav_buttons">studies</div>
<div class="nav_buttons">approach</div>
<div class="nav_buttons">about</div>
<div class="nav_buttons">contact</div>
</nav>
but what i would like is so that when i hover over one of them both the border of the div and the color of the < a > tags text change at the same time
i tried this
#navigation {
text-align: center;
height: 150px;
padding-top: 100px;
}
.nav_buttons {
display: inline;
height: 40px;
width: 100px;
border-bottom: 1px solid black;
margin-left: 20px;
}
#navigation a{
margin-right: 50px;
font-size: 20px;
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
}
div.nav_buttons:hover {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ff3300;
}
div.nav_buttons:hover a{
color:#ff3300;
}
but that only changed the boder. i am willing to use javascript but i saw that you can change a child element buy hover overing the parent.
div#parent_element:hover div.chil_element {color: red;}
any suggestions doing it simply in CSS would be epic??
it depends for a matter of (previous) rule specificity, since you assigned the style with #navigation a selector. So try this
#navigation > div:hover a {
color:#ff3300;
}
or try simply with !important
div.nav_buttons:hover a {
color:#ff3300 !important;
}
As a side note: you could also avoid to use a repeated class name for every div in the markup and use instead #navigation > div to refer those elements
Your code is fine. But I think some existing styles are overriding your current style. So I suggest to use relative styling technique like below to achieve the desired result:
#navigation div.nav_buttons:hover {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ff3300;
}
#navigation div.nav_buttons:hover a{
color:#ff3300;
}

I have an unordered list full or anchors. I have a CSS :Hover event that adds borders to it but all the anchors to the left slightly adjust when i hover because it is adding 1px to the width and auto adjusting. how do i make sure the positioning is absolute?
div a:visited, #homeheader a{
text-decoration:none;
color:black;
margin-right:5px;
}
div a:hover{
background-color:#D0DDF2;
border-radius:5px;
border:1px solid #102447;
}
div li{
padding:0;
margin:0px 10px;
display:inline;
font-size:1em;
}
<div>
<ul>
<li>this</li>
<li>that</li>
<li>this again</li>
<li>that again</li>
</ul>
</div>
I made a JS Fiddle demo here.
You can add a transparent border to the non-hover state to avoid the "jumpiness" when the border appears:
http://jsfiddle.net/TEUhM/3/
#homeheader a:visited, #homeheader a{
border:1px solid transparent;
}
You can also use outline, which won't affect the width i.e. so no "jump" effect. However,support for a rounded outline may be limited.
You could use a box shadow, rather than a border for this sort of functionality.
This works because your shadow doesn't 'take size in the DOM', and so won't affect the positioning, unlike that of a border.
Try using a declaration like
box-shadow:0 0 1px 1px #102447;
instead of your
border:1px solid #102447;
on your hover state.
Below is a quick demo of this in action:
DEMO
#homeheader a:visited,
#homeheader a {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
margin-right: 5px;
}
#homeheader a:hover {
background-color: #D0DDF2;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 0 1px #102447;
}
#homeheader li {
padding: 0;
margin: 0px 10px;
display: inline;
font-size: 1em;
}
<div id="homecontainer">
<div id="homeheader">
<ul>
<li>this
</li>
<li>that
</li>
<li>this again
</li>
<li>that again
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
Add a margin of 1px and remove that margin on hover, so it is replaced by the border.

After taking a long time pressure i found a cool solution.
Hope that it will help others.
on the add the folloing code :
HTML
<div class="border-test">
<h2> title </h2>
<p> Technology founders churn rate niche market </p>
</div>
CSS
.border-test {
outline: 1px solid red;
border: 5px solid transparent;
}
.border-test:hover {
outline: 0px solid transparent;
border: 5px solid red;
}
Check live : Live Demo
Hope it will help.
No one has mentioned it here, but the best and simplest solution to this in my opinion is to use "box shadow" instead of borders. The magic is on the "inset" value which allows it be like a boarder.
box-shadow: inset 0 -3px 0 0 red;
You can offset the X or Y to change top/bottom and use -negative value for opposite sides.
.button {
width: 200px;
height: 50px;
padding: auto;
background-color: grey;
text-align: center;
}
.button:hover {
box-shadow: inset 0 -3px 0 0 red;
background-color: lightgrey;
}
<div class="button"> Button </div>
You can use box-shadow which does not change your box-size, unlike border.
Here is a little tutorial.
Just add the following code into your css file
#homeheader a {
border:1px solid transparent;
}
The CSS "box-sizing" attribute fixed this problem for me. If you give your element
.class-name {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
Then the width of the border is added to the inside of the box when the browser calculates its width. This way when you turn the border style on and off, the size of the element doesn't change (which is what causes the jittering you observed).
This is a new technology, but the support for border-box is pretty consistent. Here is a demo!
The easiest method I found was using 'outline' instead of 'border'.
#home:hover{
outline:1px solid white;
}
instead of
#home:hover{
border:1px solid white;
}
Works the best!

Add a negative margin on hover to compensate:
#homeheader a:hover{
border: 1px solid #102447;
margin: -1px;
}
updated fiddle
In the fiddle the margin: -1px; is a little more complex because there was a margin-right getting overridden, but it's still just a matter of subtracting the newly-occupied space.
I too was facing the same problem. The fix mentioned by Wesley Murch works! i.e. adding a transparent border around the element to be hovered.
I had a ul on which :hover was added to every li. Every time, I hovered on each list item, the elements contained inside li too moved.
Here is the relevant code:
html
<ul>
<li class="connectionsListItem" id="connectionsListItem-0">
<div class="listItemContentDiv" id="listItemContentDiv-0">
<span class="connectionIconSpan"></span>
<div class="connectListAnchorDiv">
Test1
</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
css
.listItemContentDiv
{
display: inline-block;
padding: 8px;
right: 0;
text-align: left;
text-decoration: none;
text-indent: 0;
}
.connectionIconSpan
{
background-image: url("../images/connection4.png");
background-position: 100% 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
cursor: pointer;
padding-right: 0;
background-color: transparent;
border: medium none;
clear: both;
float: left;
height: 32px;
width: 32px;
}
.connectListAnchorDiv
{
float: right;
margin-top: 4px;
}
The hover defn on each list item:
.connectionsListItem:hover
{
background-color: #F0F0F0;
background-image: linear-gradient(#E7E7E7, #E7E7E7 38%, #D7D7D7);
box-shadow: none;
text-shadow: none;
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
border-color: #AAAAAA;
border-style: solid;
}
The above code used to make the containing elements shift, whenever I hovered over connectionsListItem. The fix was this added to the css as:
.connectionsListItem
{
border:1px solid transparent;
}
Use :before to create the border, that way it won't modify the actual content and gives you more freedom. Check it out here:
http://codepen.io/jorgenrique/pen/JGqOMb
<div class='border'>Border</div>
<div class='before'>Before</div>
div{
width:300px;
height:100px;
text-align:center;
margin:1rem;
position:relative;
display:flex;
justify-content:center;
align-items: center;
background-color:#eee;
}
.border{
border-left:10px solid deepPink;
}
.before{
&:before{
content:"";
position:absolute;
background-color:deepPink;
width:10px;
height:100%;
left:0;
top:0;
}
&:hover{
background-color:#ccc;
&:before{
width:0px;
transition:0.2s;
}
}
}
Be careful if you also use padding.
In my case, I had a 5px padding inside the hover defn. It should be moved inside the actual class of the element you want to hover over.
Code snippet
I have a problem some of my links keep moving a couple of pixel on hover does anyone know a fix for this.
Currently me code is like this
<a class="read-more-link" href="/what-to-do-now/week49/flowers-checklist/">See all Flowers jobs</a>
the css
a:hover{
border-bottom:1px solid #000;
}
a{
color: #172D02;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
.checklist .read-more-link:first-letter {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.checklist .read-more-link {
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
line-height: 1.1;
text-transform: lowercase;
background: url("/images/double_arrow.png") no-repeat scroll left center transparent;
padding-left: 14px;
}
This is because you have border-bottom set on hover.
Therefore this is adding a 1px border underneath your link when it is hovered over. This can affect the position of other relative elements.
Change this to text-decoration:underline; or add a hidden border-bottom to the standard style:
a {
border-bottom:solid 1px transparent;
}
write
a:hover{
text-decoration:underline;
}
in place of
a:hover{
border-bottom:1px solid #000;
}
and remove this there is no need of it
.checklist a, .checklist a:visited {
border-bottom: 0 none;
position: relative;
}
You can add one empty container like below, on top:
<div class="container" style="height:5px"></div>
This is my code:
<h3 align="center">Is the mobile number above correct ?</h3>
<div class="yesno"><div id="yes">YES</div>
<div id="no">NO</div></div>
This is my CSS:
/* yes and no buttons */
#yes
{
float:left;
display:inline;
width:180px;
background: #999999;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
color: #FFF;
padding-top: 10px;padding-bottom: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
margin-bottom: 0.4em;
margin-top: 0.4em;
}
#yes a:visited,
#yes a:link{
color: #fff;
}
#yes:hover {
background-color: #9fd106;
cursor:pointer;
}
#no
{
float:right;
display:inline;
width:180px;
background: #999999;
font-size: 26px;
font-weight: bold;
text-align: center;
color: #FFF;
padding-top: 10px;padding-bottom: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
margin-bottom: 0.4em;
margin-top: 0.4em;
}
#no a:visited,
#no a:link{
color: #fff;
}
#no:hover {
background-color: #f20909;
cursor:pointer;
}
.yesno
{
width:400px;
margin-left:100px;
}
This is the issue:
I also have div switch to hide/show div. This is:
<!--show hide div logic-->
<style>
div#a { }
div#b { display:none; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("a.nope").click(function(){
$("#a").hide();
$("#b").show();
return false;
});
</script>
<!--//end show hide div logic-->
You can't wrap an inline element (a) around a block element (div). Use SPAN instead of DIV as span is an inline element.
Use something like this:
<h3 align="center">Is the mobile number above correct ?</h3>
<div class="yesno">
<span id="yes">YES</span>
<span id="no">NO</span>
</div>
Both #yes and #no have widths of 180px so the buttons consume 360px on their own. The containing <div class="yesno"> is 400px wide so you have 40px left over. You also have three non-breaking spaces. Everything renders fine if you take the non-breaking spaces out so I'm guessing that IE is allocating more than 40px for the non-breaking spaces.
You can either make .yesno wider to accommodate how all the various browsers will render the non-breaking spaces or you can ditch the kludge and let the explicit widths on #yes, #no, and .yesno take care of keeping the buttons separated.
And yes, you should use <span> here instead of <div> as GlennG noted but that's not causing the problem here.
Or just put the buttons in a container div:
#colcontainer {
float:left;
width:100%;
}
Take that div and wrap it around your buttons.
That should do it.
Glenn is correct you cannot have a BLOCK element like a DIV inside a INLINE element such as an A tag.
Mu is to short is also correct.
Addtioanlly you should not be including
nbsp; you should be using CSS to format.
You can also remove alot of unnessasary HTML tags and CSS

This could be refined even more but this is just a 2 minute job.
