How can i make the "Megan fox" ul li under the input field
http://jsfiddle.net/Ne8zy/3/
you can remove the absolute position of .suggestionsBox_tags and then add margin:0 auto; to center the div.
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/Ne8zy/8/
First off what's making this complicated is the text-align:center and margin:auto property in your body selector.
To fix your problem you can:
1) Set the width of your li and/or ul elements to be the same width as your textbox
or
2) Remove text-align:center and margin:auto from the body and set these only where you need them
You can use margin: 0 auto; to center the element.
Don't use text-align: center on any element that contains block elements, Internet Explorer doesn't handle that correctly.
Set both margin and padding on body, different browsers have different default values for those.
I removed the absolute positioning on the element containing the list, and centered it. And some other cleanup.

I have 3 elements inline block with each other. The 2 smaller grids are flush with the bottom of the larger chart by default. How can I get them to be flush with the top of the larger chart instead. http://i.imgur.com/TAUG2rZ.png
I would prefer to not have to give an absolute position to each element, unless thats the only way.
all thats applied atm:
#smallgrid1, #largechart, #smallgrid2{
display: inline-block;}
Add vertical-align:top to css if you want to align them to top.
Other options for vertical-align which you may want are: middle, baseline, bottom etc.
Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/vertical-align
#smallgrid1, #largechart, #smallgrid2{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top; }
If, by default, the elements don't end up aligning themselves towards the top, I would use the vertical-align property to position each of the inline-block elements to the top.
I've created a simple CodePen that demonstrates this more clearly. Notice how I style each of the div elements on the page:
div.element {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top; /* aligns each of the divs to the top of the container */
}
In this case, the element ids are arbitrarily named element1, element2, and element3, but you would probably name them smallgrid1, largechart, and smallgrid2 respectively.
Hi there you could try this
#smallgrid1, #largechart, #smallgrid2{
display: inline-block; vertical-align: top}
I want to show the content of my Mega-menu also within the page. I duplicated the CSS styles but it seems that I still miss a rule because the border of the UL with id="wrongBorder_because_of_no_Height" does not show around the whole UL, probably because the UL height is 0
sample page - http://www.teddicom.com/test_07_ul_border_stack_overflow.htm
[compare the border of the floating menu of family 2, and the border of the UL in the page]
What is setting the height of horizontal ul to zero?
How can I show the border properly?
Add overflow:hidden or overflow:auto to your class
#wrongBorder_because_of_no_Height
{
overflow:hidden;
}
The reason why this works is because by setting the overflow property to a value which is not visible - this triggers a block formatting context.
Check out this post for a full explanation.
Add this to your CSS:
.menuInPage ul
{
height: 200px;
}
You are floating the li elements left. Parent elements, the ul, are never to expand to contain floated children.
Haven't checked to see if this is what you want but either remove the float or try overflow:auto.
Just as the title reads. When hovering over a li displaying as table-cell that changes font-weight, the width shrinks/grows.
I'm using display:table on the ul because I need the lis to evenly span the container
Here's a jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/elzi/trXn4/5/ UPDATED.
Maybe there's no really dynamic way to do it and I need to set some widths for some of the lis with more text?
Yes, tables shrink/expand to give the most content the most room, unless you tell them otherwise.
You can add width: 25%; to your li (Fiddle), or you can add table-layout: fixed; to the ul (Fiddle).
Of course it does:)
If your list items are static you can set a fixed width by adding
width: xxxpx;
to the li definition
The code sample below works almost the same, if I include or remove the 'float: left' line. The only difference is the float left version moves the blocks below it up a bit more, but not more than a line break. I don't understand why you would add floating to an element set to 100% width. To my understanding,this prevents everything below it from flowing around it. Isn't that the purpose of floating?
ul
{
list-style-type: none;
float: left;
width:100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
li
{
display: inline;
}
The reason why this works is because your <li> display is set to inline. This means that all elements with of this HTML tag will show up on the same line as all other ones. In other words, there will be no line-break. I would suggest the following instead:
ul {
list-style-type: none;
width: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
overflow: hidden; /* This will ensure there's a line break after using float for the list items */
}
li {
float: left;
}
This way you can ensure that each list item can also use margin and padding properly as opposed to inline elements which act as characters in a string of text normally would.
The float property is meant to allow an object to be displayed inline with the text directing it to one side. Float left is thus a lot like inline but with the exception that the element being floated is aligned towards the left or the right. It is not necessary to use the float:left; flag for what you are trying to do, It can often be better to place the ul where you want it using position, margin, padding, left , top , right , bottom instead. This usualy gives a more controllable result.
Here is an example fiddle of what happens when switching between no float and float left.
http://jsfiddle.net/um9LV/
The float CSS property specifies that an element should be taken from the normal flow and placed along the left or right side of its container, where text and inline elements will wrap around it.
when an element is floated it is taken out of the normal flow of the document. It is shifted to the left or right until it touches the edge of it's containing box or another floated element.
float:left - use float to get block elements to slide next to each other
display:block - Displaying the links as block elements makes the whole link area clickable (not just the text), and it allows us to specify the width
I am trying to increase the width of #Item, but it increases only with text width.
HTML
<div><span class="Item">Brand Strategy:</span><span class="Summary">Strategy</span></div>
CSS
.Item{background-color:#000; height:40px; color:#FFF; text-align:center; width:200px;}
How do I get the specified width for #Item.
Thanks

I wrote part of this in comments above, but rewriting here for further clarification.
<span> is an inline element. Inline elements can't have a fixed width; their width is determined by the width of the text they contain, plus the margins and paddings.
See CSS fixed width in a span
You can change this behavior by turning your span into a block-level element. This is done by setting display: block or display: inline-block. But this also introduces other behavior, such as floating and taking up a whole line instead of staying inside the paragraph. This, again, can be countered by float: left and similar options. Weigh the different options and decide based on your needs.
In your specific code example, you might benefit from using <dt> and <dd> tags instead. They were built for exactly that purpose.
The span is inline element, you can not apply width or height to it unless you make it block-level element like this:
span.Item{
display:block;
background-color:#000;
height:40px;
color:#FFF;
text-align:center;
width:200px;
}
Or you can set the display to inline-block to support old dumb IE versions.
More Info:
Block-Level vs. Inline Elements
Alternatively, you can use a div to apply the width if you want.
You can use display: inline-block , if you use display: block you will have to float: left as well.
The span is an inline element, so the only way to change its width is to make it a block element or setting its display to inline-block. After doing this, you should float it to the left.
I hope this was of help.
The <span> element in an inline element. Therefore, you cannot apply width or height.
