Creating space between an element and its border
(5 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
Is it possible to increase the distance between a border and its content?
If it is possible, just do it on here: JSFiddle
What I plan on doing is putting a glow around the content (using a shadow with 0px/0px distance) and then putting a border a couple of pixels away from the glow.
NOTE: I have decided to do an inset shadow and a border instead, it looks better, but thanks for the answers :3
Add padding. Padding the element will increase the space between its content and its border. However, note that a box-shadow will begin outside the border, not the content, meaning you can't put space between the shadow and the box. Alternatively you could use :before or :after pseudo selectors on the element to create a slightly bigger box that you place the shadow on, like so: http://jsbin.com/aqemew/edit#source
Its possible using pseudo element (after).
I have added to the original code a position:relative and some margin.
Here is the modified JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/r4UAp/86/
#content{
width: 100px;
min-height: 100px;
margin: 20px auto;
border-style: ridge;
border-color: #567498;
border-spacing:10px;
position:relative;
background:#000;
}
#content:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: -15px;
left: -15px;
right: -15px;
bottom: -15px;
border: red 2px solid;
}
If you have background on that element, then, adding padding would be useless.
So, in this case, you can use background-clip: content-box; or outline-offset
Explanation:
If you use wrapper, then it would be simple to separate the background from border. But if you want to style the same element, which has a background, no matter how much padding you would add, there would be no space between background and border, unless you use background-clip or outline-offset
You usually use padding to add distance between a border and a content.However, background are spread on padding.
You can still do it with nested element.
.outer {
border-style: ridge;
border-color: #567498;
border-spacing: 10px;
min-width: 100px;
min-height: 100px;
float: left;
}
.inner {
width: 100px;
min-height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
background-image: -webkit-gradient( linear, left bottom, left top, color-stop(0, rgb(39, 54, 73)), color-stop(1, rgb(30, 42, 54)));
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient( center bottom, rgb(39, 54, 73) 0%, rgb(30, 42, 54) 100%);
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">
test
</div>
</div>
Just wrap another div around it, which has the border and the padding you want.
You could try adding an<hr>and styling that. Its a minimal markup change but seems to need less css so that might do the trick.

I want to try and achieve something in CSS using borders but they don't seem to have something I want. In Photoshop, when you add a Stroke (border), you select the position. Outside, Inside, or Center. Outside being where the entire border wraps around the object. Inside is where it sits on the inside (obviously), and center being half and half.
I want a 2px border that's positioned in the center. So it shows 1px outside and 1px inside. Is there anyway to do this with CSS? I imagine I can do it with a box-shadow of some kind but I'm horrendous at shadows in CSS.
There's also the issue of having to be pure CSS so I can't lay an image over it. Can someone possibly help me out with this.
Thanks.
There's a work around, since border represents outer stroke for you, you can make use of outline css property with outline-offset set to negative value to have the inner 1px stroke( 1 ) JS Fiddle
body {
padding-top: 10px;
}
#test {
width: 250px;
height: 200px;
background-color: orange;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px navy solid; /* outer stroke */
outline: 1px navy solid; /* inner stroke */
outline-offset: -2px; /* negative border width + outline width */
}
<div id="test"></div>
( 1 ) As the above fiddle might not demonstrate the explanation good enough, here's the same example with two colored strokes and 4px for each stroke instead of 1px Demo Fiddle

Perhaps with a suitable sized absolutely positioned pseudo-element?
div {
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
border: 1px solid black;
margin: 1em auto;
position: relative;
}
div:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top:-6px;
left: -6px;
width: calc(100% - 12px);
height: calc(100% - 12px);
border:12px solid rgba(255,0,0,0.5)
}
<div></div>
You could nudge the container so that it would look like it's an inner border. For example, if you have have a 2px left border and want it to appear as an inner border, you can just offset the whole container to the right, like this:
position: relative;
left: 2px;
You might have to do other corrections, such as reducing the width of the container by 2px.
I wanted to make a cool div, so I made this image to get its borders:
The problem is that half of the borders are transparent area, so when I try to fill the empty center of the div with background-color it also paints the outer, transparent area. I'd like the background color not to get past the border.
Here's what I'm talking about:
#charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
#testDiv{
border-image-source:url(https://s9.postimg.org/40j461sf3/Div_Sprite.png);
border-image-slice: 50% 25% 25%;
border-image-repeat:repeat;
border-image-width:auto;
border-image-repeat:round;
background-color: red;
min-height:600px;
width:600px;
}
#body {
height:100%;
width: 100%;
background: #CCC;
position: absolute;
margin: 50px 0 0 0;
}
<div id="testDiv">
</div>
Or see http://jsfiddle.net/6M59T/119/.
How can I solve this? I've thought on putting a slightly smaller div inside this one, but I don't know how to adjust it so it always covers a bit less than its parent. Also, I'd like to keep it as simple as possible. Any ideas?
Maybe i am mistaken, but you can try to play with border-image-outset and margin attribute.
float:left;
margin:50px 20px;
border-image-source:url(http://s9.postimg.org/40j461sf3/Div_Sprite.png);
border-image-slice: 50% 25% 25%;
border-image-repeat:repeat;
border-image-width:auto;
border-image-repeat:round;
background-color: red;
border-image-outset:30px;

I want to Create Box shadow as given below.
As per my study of Box shadow. It takes below parameters:
DIV {
box-shadow: <horizontal> <vertical> <blur> <color> [inset]
}
Please, Find the jsfiddle for this.
To create above examples, I need to use box shadow.
For example 1, I used below style:
box-shadow:0px 10px 22px 0px gray;
Here, I am getting lighter shadow on top, left and right side also (which I don't want)
In example 2, I used below style:
box-shadow:10px 10px 22px 0px gray inset;
I don't want inner shading to right and bottom part.
Is it possible to remove unnecessary shading in box-shadow ?
You can have a box shadow just on one side, on two sides, three sides, but in that case you should set the blur value to zero - see demo http://dabblet.com/gist/1579740
However, you can emulate the first kind of shadow by wrapping your div into another outer div of the same width, but slightly bigger height on which you set overflow: hidden;
If you don't need the background of your div to be semitransparent, then you could also emulate the second one using an absolutely positioned pseudo-element in order to obscure the bottom and right shadows.
DEMO http://dabblet.com/gist/3149980
HTML for first shadow:
<div class="outer">
<div class="shadow1"></div>
</div>
CSS for first shadow
div {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
.outer {
padding-bottom: 35px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.shadow1 {
box-shadow: 0px 10px 22px 0px gray;
background: #f0f0f0;
}
HTML for second shadow
<div class="shadow2"></div>
CSS for second shadow
.shadow2 {
box-shadow:10px 10px 22px 0px gray inset;
position: relative;
background: #f0f0f0;
}
.shadow2:before {
top: 22px;
bottom:0;
left:22px;
right:0;
position: absolute;
background: #f0f0f0;
content:'';
}
You can do it with some extra markup (an extra div wrapping the element so that it hides the other shadows you don't want)
Or you could use the shadow spread property (the 4th number in the box-shadow declaration) to shrink the shadow down to hide the side parts of your shadow.
This creates a smaller shadow on the bottom, but it requires no extra HTML.
http://jsfiddle.net/hBMQm/2/
#b {
position:absolute;
width:100px;
height:100px;
top:200px;
left:200px;
background-color:#F0F0F0;
text-align:center;
box-shadow:20px 20px 22px 0px gray inset;
}
Now you have the inner shadow, but not on you right, or bottom as you asked for. Did i misunderstand you?
box-shadow takes one more parameter the spread
using following code i was able to achieve the desired effect
box-shadow: 0px 20px 22px -20px gray inset;
see here http://jsfiddle.net/hBMQm/3/
I'm using the 960.gs grid system for a design. What is the best way to add a thin separating vertical line between two boxes? The width and color should be adjustable.
My plan is to define a couple of div classes with absolute positions and background color, one for each possible position, and use JQuery to make sure that it has the same height as the surrounding boxes. That seems a bit complicated, though. Is there a better solution?
You can implement a border using the pseudo-selector :after and absolute positioning, like so:
.line:after {
border-right: 1px solid #000000;
content: "";
display: block;
margin: 1px;
position: absolute;
right: -11px;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
.grid_1, .grid_2, .grid_3, .grid_4, .grid_5, .grid_6, .grid_7, .grid_8, .grid_9, .grid_10, .grid_11, .grid_12, .grid_13, .grid_14, .grid_15, .grid_16 {
position:relative;
}
Here is a demo http://jsfiddle.net/andresilich/ZTyf4/show/
Edit here http://jsfiddle.net/andresilich/ZTyf4/
If you don't want the separating line to change the position of the next row of DIVs, I think absolute positioning is your best bet. What you could do is use an absolutely-positioned :after selector to position something relative to the bottom of the box yet not affect the layout. This works for me to position a line between boxes without affecting layout, just change the values of the last four properties as needed:
#topbox:after {
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
margin-top: 25px;
height: 5px;
width: 400px;
background-color: #999;
}
I think this is do-able without jQuery. The main issue is accounting for the variable height of the elements.
reference here: http://jsfiddle.net/uqZgt/1/
HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="box-1">
This box has alot of content. This box has alot of content. This box has alot of content.
</div>
<div class="box-2">
This box has a little bit of content. This box has a little bit of content. This box has a little bit of content. This box has alot of content. This box has alot of content. This box has alot of content.
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.container {
width: 242px;
}
.container div {
width: 100px;
background: #ff0000;
float: left;
padding: 10px;
border-right: 2px solid #000
}
.box-1 + .box-2 {
border-right: none;
border-left: 2px solid #000
}
.box-1 ~ .box-2 {
margin-left: -2px
}
in this example, all divs in the .container div have a 2px solid black border-right. However, an element with class box-2 which directly proceeds an element with .box-1 will have a 2px solid black border-left, and no border-right. So far this creates a 3px border in between the two elements.
Now, .box-1 ~ .box-2 selects any .box-1 that directly preceeds a .box-2, and sets it's margin-left to -2px. This drags it's sibling two pixels to the left, which effectively makes the borders of both elements overlap.
The .container div has a width equal to the sum of the width of the two elements (200px), plus padding (10px right and left = 20px) plus the width of one of the borders (2px). 242px, so the two elements fit perfectly.
No matter which div has more content, the border will appear to span the height of the div with the most content.
I may not be understanding your problem. I would probably just use a right or left border on one of the columns and adjust padding to be sure it is centered between the 2.
I want to Create DIV based Flexible corners. as per shown in the Image.
This is Not regular rounded corner, but something more complicated. This is Something like challenge .
And Please Note that I want Image based rounded Corners, so please give answer as per requirments.
Thanks a Lot
Well, the easiest answer is: use CSS3:
#roundedCornerDiv {
-moz-border-radius: 1em; /* for mozilla-based browsers */
-webkit-border-radius: 1em; /* for webkit-based browsers */
border-radius: 1em; /* theoretically for *all* browsers
dependant on implementation of CSS3 */
border: 12px solid #ccc;
}
you should be able to do this with 9 explicitly sized and floated divs. the corner divs are fixed size and have background-url for the 4 corners and the side divs are repeat-y and top bottom divs have repeat-x
You should look into The Thrashbox approach for this.
You can use a series of spans and 4 images, one for each corner, to make a resizable rounded corner div. Like this:
div {
background: white url(topleft.gif) top left no-repeat;
}
div span {
display: block;
background: url(topright.gif) top right no-repeat;
}
div span span {
background: url(bottomright.gif) bottom right no-repeat;
}
div span span span {
padding: 2em;
height: 0; /* fixes a padding bug in IE */
background: url(bottomleft.gif) bottom left no-repeat;
}
div span span > span {
height: auto; /* sets the height back to auto for all other browsers */
}
And now for the HTML:
<div><span><span><span>Round corners!</span></span></span></div>
For an actual example and code please refer to this page for a working example and source code.
border-radius: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
first is the left-upper corner.
second is the right-upper corner.
third is the right-lower corner.
fourth is the lower-left corner.
you can use that basically in any tag where you want the round corners. just remember to specify the border like:
border: 2px solid black;
if you specify the border separately, eg:
border-left: 6px;
border-right: 6px;
border-top: 2px;
border-bottom: 2px;
you can get some awesome-looking stuff.
