I'm trying to get h1 to appear on the left and h2 on the right, which I've managed to do thanks to a previous post on stackoverflow. But now there is this white line showing up under the text that is seriously messing with my design. Any thoughts?
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<h1 style="text-align:left;float:left;">Ken DeRosier</h1>
<h2 style="text-align:right;float:right;">Master Sculptor</h2>
<hr style="clear:both;">
<!-- end #header -->
</div>
...
</div>
This is all the CSS I can think of that could be affecting the code above.
body {
margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
padding: 0;
text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
color: #FFFFbb;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 100%;
background-color: #000000;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
background-image: url(../images/sunriseHeader.jpg);
}
.thrColLiqHdr #container {
width: 80%; /* this will create a container 80% of the browser width */
margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
border: 0px solid #000000;
text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
}
.thrColLiqHdr #header {
padding: 0 10px;
padding-top: 170px;
padding-right: 20px;
}
.thrColLiqHdr #header h1 {
margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
Try replacing this line
<hr style="clear:both;">
with this
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
I think this is because you use a <hr> aka "horizontal rule". Why don't you try to use a span or a div or something else to clear which is not intended to display itself with something visible?

I want to absolute position a div but it is not sticked to the top but has a blank space. Container has position:relative and inner block has position:absolute css rules. I tried to play with the code and noticed that changing background-position has some effect and I have no idea why.
<header>
<div class="header-wrapper">
<div class="header-slogan-1 text-center">Base info</div>
<div class="header-info">Info</div>
</div>
</header>
What I want is to have the green block at the top (see fiddle).
Here is the fiddle
Please can anyone explain the behaviour and answer why the block is shifted from the top?
It is shifted from the top, because it is relative to its parent .header-wrapper, that has a top margin. In order to get the desired result, you have to remove position: relative from its parent, therefore it will be relative to the viewport and will be placed at the top.
Edit: I realised, that he margin is actually applied to the child of the wrapper, causing margin collapsing. In order to fix this, you need apply overflow: auto to the parent element. By doing that, you can still have a position: relative on the wrapper, as it is not pushed down by the child. Take a look at the demo:
/* header block */
header {
height: 536px;
background-color: #ddd;
background-position: center;
background-size: 100% 536px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
overflow: hidden;
}
header .header-wrapper {
position: relative;
overflow: auto;
z-index: 2;
}
.header-slogan-1 {
font-size: 32px;
font-weight: 700;
font-style: italic;
margin-top: 88px;
}
.header-wrapper .header-info {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
z-index: 3;
background-color: #4caf50;
max-width: 600px;
padding: 25px 25px 25px 75px;
color: #fff;
}
.text-center {
text-align: center;
}
<header>
<div class="header-wrapper">
<div class="header-slogan-1 text-center">Base info</div>
<div class="header-info">Info</div>
</div>
</header>
If I'm understanding this correctly, you want the header to have no space around it. If this is the case, then just add
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
to the top of your css and you should be all set.
I changed margin-top: 88px; into padding-top: 88px; of header-slogan-1 as it does not change my layout. I have an image in wrapper class and it is centered and may exceed the container size, so I need position:relative and overflow:hidden.
Finally I decided to pick my solution. Sorry Adam for not choosing your answer.
I have a banner that I am trying to add a text to the bottom portion of it. I got the text centered and how I want to be, but when I want to move the text to the bottom of the page, the picture moves too.
HTML
<div class="col_one art-banner">
<div class="art-banner-text">
<h2>what do <span>you</span> want to learn?</h2>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.art-banner { background-image: url("graphics/art_banner.jpg"); height: 150px;}
.art-banner-text { width: 940px; height: 50px; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); }
.art-banner-text h2 { text-align: center; padding-top: 10px; font-family: "Bender";}
.art-banner-text span { color: #eb6623; }
JSFiddle
Presuming you're trying to use margin-top to move the art-banner-text down, you're running into the collapsing margin problem: the margin is shared between the inner div and the outer one, meaning the outer one gets the margin too.
So the solution is not to use margins, but position:relative for the outer div and position:absolute for the inner one, with bottom:0 to position it at the bottom of the outer one.
.art-banner {
background-image: url("https://photos-2.dropbox.com/t/2/AAAtS4UXAnyf0x4vH0ty5lE779vFfS2smjUWyJFsFwnMPg/12/18401260/jpeg/32x32/1/1437685200/0/2/art_banner.jpg/COyP4wggASACIAMgBCAFIAYgBygBKAIoBw/L9JVtmzn-g-n3CMbDujkZkXxzuwR9ntwvtEoBLNl_4g?size=1024x768&size_mode=2");
height: 150px;
position: relative;
}
.art-banner-text {
width: 940px;
height: 50px;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
.art-banner-text h2 {
text-align: center;
padding-top: 10px;
font-family: "Bender";
margin: 0;
}
.art-banner-text span {
color: #eb6623;
}
<div class="col_one art-banner">
<div class="art-banner-text">
<h2>what do <span>you</span> want to learn?</h2>
</div>
</div>
(Note that I had to change the URI for the image, to make it show up. What you had was the URI for the dropbox page that displays the image, not the image itself.)
You need to have the outer container ( which is .art-banner-text) set to position:relative; and set the inner div or element to absolute to place it where you want. https://jsfiddle.net/2ryrnxz7/
<div class="col_one art-banner">
<div class="art-banner-text">
<h2>what do <span>you</span> want to learn?</h2>
</div>
</div>
css
.art-banner { background-image: url("https://www.dropbox.com/s/migdkqlmse8ym0t/art_banner.jpg?dl=0"); height: 150px;}
.art-banner-text { width: 940px; height: 50px; position: relative; background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.5); }
.art-banner-text h2 { font-family: "Bender"; margin: auto 0; padding:0px; bottom:0px; position:absolute; left:35%}
.art-banner-text span { color: #eb6623; }
You can set the left to whatever % you want to push towards the middle. This won't work for mobile as it is set and won't reposition itself with the page. But if you just need it to work for desktop, this is how to do it.
It sounds like you might want to use CSS positioning. For example .art-banner {position: relative;} .art-banner-text {position: absolute;} You can then position, move, or animate the text in the inner div without affecting the outer div.
I need to insert text in the upper and lower of an inner border (both centred) which will have a background image behind it. This will be the same on each page. Can I achieve this using CSS?
Please see screenshot of what I mean:
The border needs to be 3px in width and white in colour and the font is Basis Grotesque Medium.
I'm hoping to start out with a WordPress theme and edit it.
Hopefully this question hasn't been answered before anywhere. I tried running a search but couldn't find what I needed.
Before I go ahead and start building this website could you tell me if this is possible and how I may go about achieving it?
You can use the approach I described here Line separator under text and transparent background for the lines on the left/right of the titles.
You can then use negative top/bottom margin to position them on the bottom and top borders :
#import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300);
body {
background-image: url(http://fr.playstation.com/media/5ZfqPjVF/BigSkyInfinity_Hero_EN.JPG);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: cover;
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
color:#fff;
}
#content{
border:3px solid #fff;
border-width:0 3px;
display:inline-block;
margin:50px 0;
width:100%;
}
.divider {
font-size:30px;
margin: -0.65em auto -0.45em;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
line-height: 1.2em;
}
.divider:before,
.divider:after {
content: "";
vertical-align: top;
display: inline-block;
width: 50%;
height: 0.65em;
border-bottom: 3px solid #fff;
margin: 0 2% 0 -55%;
}
.divider:after {
margin: 0 -55% 0 2%;
}
p{margin: 150px 0;}
<div id="content">
<h1 class="divider">Top title</h1>
<p>...Content here...</p>
<h2 class="divider">Bottom title</h2>
</div>
Note that top/bottom negative margins will need tweaking according to the font-family you are using
<div class="titelcontent">
<div class="name">Name</div>
<div class="hzline"></div>
</div>
I want name div and hzline div to auto fit 100% in titelcontent.
The label (for example, Name) will vary in length and I want the red underline to span the remainding space of the titlecontent div.
How do I achieve the following? It is easy to do this using tables but I can't figure out how to do this via span or div.
You can use div like a table by using table-cell.
.titlecontent {
display: table;
}
.name {
display: table-cell;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.hzline {
display: table-cell;
border-bottom: 3px solid red;
width: 100%;
}
See DEMO.
Updated to allow background images to show through
You can make the mark-up a bit tighter by using a pseudo-element as follows:
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="inner">Photoshop</div>
</div>
and use the following CSS styling:
div.wrapper {
color:#82439a;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
font-family: tahoma;
line-height: 180%;
background: red url(http://placekitten.com/1000/500) no-repeat left top;
overflow: hidden;
}
div.inner {
position: relative;
display: inner;
color: yellow;
padding-right: 0.50em;
border: 1px dotted yellow;
}
div.inner:after {
content: "\A0";
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 100%;
border-bottom: 5px solid #d71d00;
width: 1000%;
}
Demo fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/wE8bC/
How It Works
The parent element div.wrapper may contain a background image or be transparent and show the background of some ancestor element. You need to set overflow: hidden.
For the label (<div.inner>), set position: relative and then generate a 100% width pseudo-element with a bottom border to serve as an underline. Use absolute positioning to place div.inner:after to the right of <div.inner> (left: 100%) and make the width relatively large. The pseudo-element will trigger an overflow condition but this is taken care of by hiding the overflow in the parent element. You can control left/right spacing using padding.
You can use set the display property to either inline or inline-block. If you use display: inline, it will work in IE7; adjust the line height as needed for styling.
Note that the generated content is a non-breaking space, hex code "\A0".
Support for IE7
If you need to support IE7, you will need a hack if you use inline-block as discussed in a previous question: IE7 does not understand display: inline-block
IE7 also does not support table-cell so some of the other posted solutions will face the same limitation.
Or an alternative to using display: table:
.name {
float: left;
}
.line-wrapper {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 6px;
}
.hzline {
border-bottom: 3px solid red;
width: 100%;
}
See example.
I've guessed you are looking something like this. Please find my solution based on my understanding about the image you posted.

Please do let me know your feedback. Thanks
Yes, I'm a newb so please go easy. I know there's got to be several ways to accomplish this. Basically I've been trying to come up with a consistent way to have a header with a line after the text that will run to the full width of a container element.
Something like this:
This is my header _______________________________________________________ |<- end container
This is another header __________________________________________________ |<- end container
I'm trying to create a .line class that will use bottom-border to create the line but I've been unsuccessful at creating a variable length line that will extend the full width of the container.
Here's what I've tried:
CSS:
.line
{
display:inline-block;
border-bottom:2px #5B3400 solid;
margin-left:5px;
width:80%;
}
HTML:
<h2>Our Mission<span class="line"></span></h2>
Of course this only gives me a line 80% of the container from the left border including the width of the text. How can I create a line that begins after the text and runs the full width of the border regardless of how much text is on the same line?
I know this should be easy but I haven't been able to find a solution yet.
Thanks!
THIS METHOD WILL WORK WITH TEXTURED BACKGROUNDS (background images):
You can try using this method instead, if your <h2> is on top of a background image.
HTML:
<h2 class="line-title"><span>This is my title</span><hr /></h2>
CSS:
.line-title {
font-size: 20px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
padding-top: 1px; /* Allows for hr margin to start at top of h2 */
}
/* clearfix for floats */
.line-title:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.line-title span {
padding-right: 10px;
float: left;
}
.line-title hr {
border:1px solid #DDD;
border-width: 1px 0 0 0;
margin-top: 11px;
}
See the working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/yYBDD/1/
How it Works:
the <h2> tag acts as a container for a floated element.
the <span> is floated left, causing the <hr /> to collapse to the left and fill the right space.
the <hr /> acts as the line, and fills up the remaining space to the right.
THIS METHOD WILL WORK WITH SOLID BACKGROUND COLORS:
HTML:
<h2 class="line-title"><span>This is my title</span></h2>
CSS:
.line-title {
border-bottom: 1px solid #DDD;
font-size: 20px;
height: 12px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.line-title span {
background: #FFF;
padding-right: 10px;
}
You can see a working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/yYBDD/
How it works.
the <h2> tag has a class that sets the height to half of the height of the text it contains.
the <h2> has a bottom border, that extends to the width of it's parent container (since it's a block element).
the <span> inside of the <h2> has a white background, which will cover the area where the text and border overlap.
And finally, the <h2>> has a bottom margin, that compensates for the reduced height of the <h2>.
You could use flexbox to do this.
http://jsfiddle.net/eHHep/ (prefixes not included)
<h1 class="lineme">This is my header</h1>
<h2 class="lineme">This is another header</h2>
.lineme {
display: flex;
}
.lineme:after {
display: block;
content: " ";
border-bottom: 1px solid;
flex: 1 1 auto;
}
Advantages over other methods:
No extra markup required
Background color is not required
Down side:
Support for flexbox is low due to IE10 being the first IE to support it (see http://caniuse.com/#search=flexbox)
Your line goes away if your text wraps around
HTML:
<h2><span>Our Mission</span></h2>
CSS:
h2{
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
height: 20px;
overflow: visible;
display: block;
width: 100%;
}
h2 span{
display: inline-block;
background: #fff;
height: 21px;
}
This way it'll overflow on the bottom border as it has bigger height.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/afuzk/
Here's something I tried and that worked:
HTML
<h2>Our Mission</h2>
CSS
h2:after
{
content: "\00a0";
border-bottom: solid 2px black;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
margin-left: 3px;
}
