I've this code.
I gave 15px margin top to div.loginmeta, but it hasn't any spaces from top.. why? (if I give a float:right to that div, or create a blank div with clear:both, it works, but why now it doesn't work? I gave a clear to div.loginmeta ...)
Thank you ...
if you add overflow:auto; to the form you get the desired affect (I believe).
Alternatively float the form element right.
It could be a workaround, but it works if the margin is made more than, say, 25px.
.panel .loginmeta {
margin-top: 35px;
font-size: 10px;
clear: both;
}

I've been searching around for a while (for the answer) with no success, so I guess I did "my homework"...
So basically I've a gap between 2 divs.
You can see it here.
on your content class
.content {
background: url("panel.png");
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
float: left; /*new style*/
width: 100%; /*new style*/
}
Give overflow:hidden to your .bigtext, like this:
.bigtext{
overflow:hidden;
}
This problem is called "collapsing margins".
Check this http://reference.sitepoint.com/css/collapsingmargins
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html
The gap is caused by the p element.
You need to take the margins off - browsers default behaviour is to add 1em before and after the paragraph.
If you use google chrome, you can right click and goto inspect element. From there you can see what default behaviours have been applied to certain elements on the page. You can even see visually what space has been created by margins. Your gap was one of them. =)
See screenshot below - this is showing the margin applied to another p element.
Try margin: 0; for those divs.
you can hack it by applying margin-top:-23px to the .content div
I have an inline element with a line break in it. It has padding on all sides. However, the side padding on where the line break cuts the element is not there.
This is what i mean:
http://jsfiddle.net/4Gs2E/
There should be 20px padding on the right of tag and left of with but there isnt.
The only other way I can see this working is if i create a new element for every line but this content will be dynamically generated and will not be in a fixed width container so i dont see that working out. Is there any other way I can do this in css without any javascript?
I want the final result to look like this :
http://jsfiddle.net/GNsw3/
but without any extra elements
i also need this to work with display inline only as I want the background to wrap around the text as inline block doesnt do this
Is this possible?
edit, altered the examples to make what i want more visible:

In some cases you can use box-shadow for a workaround.
Move the right and left padding of the element to its parent and add two box-shadows.
The result: http://jsfiddle.net/FpLCt/1/
Browser support for box-shadow: http://caniuse.com/css-boxshadow
Update:
There is also a new css property for this issue called box-decoration-break. It is currently only supported by opera, but hopefully more browsers will implement this soon.
Hope this helps
Found a solution for you, but it ain't pretty :)
Since you can't target the <br> element with css, you have to use javascript. Here's how you can accomplish what you want with jQuery:
// Add two spaces before and after any <br /> tag
$('br').replaceWith(' <br /> ');
Play with the number of elements to acheive your padding on both ends.
Here's an updated Fiddle demo:
http://jsfiddle.net/4Gs2E/8/
Maybe you can use float: left instead of display: inline:
http://jsfiddle.net/GolezTrol/4Gs2E/1/
Usually that is implemented by wrapping each word in an own SPAN which has border.
I just wanted to make css-animated menu for myself. Workaround I have found is to wrap your INLINE-BLOCK element (change in css if necessary, lets call it a span with such an attribute for purpose of this solution) into block element. Then I'm using margins of span as it was padding for the surrounding div.
div.menuopt {
margin: 10px;
padding: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
width: 500px;
height: 150px;
background: grey;
}
span.menuopt {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
margin-left: 150px;
margin-top: 10px;
font-size: 25px;
}
Example:

i have a parent div, which can change its size, depending on the available space. Within that div, i have floating divs. Now, i would like to have spacing between these divs, but no space to the parent div (see drawing).
Is there a way to do this with CSS?
Thank you
I found a solution, which at least helps in my situation, it probably is not suitable for other situations:
I give all my green child divs a complete margin:
margin: 10px;
And for the surrounding yellow parent div i set a negative margin:
margin: -10px;
I also had to remove any explicit width or height setting for the yellow parent div, otherwise it did not work.
This way, in absolute terms, the child divs are correctly aligned, although the parent yellow div obviously is set off, which in my case is OK, because it will not be visible.
You can do the following:
Assuming your container div has a class "yellow".
.yellow div {
// Apply margin to every child in this container
margin: 10px;
}
.yellow div:first-child, .yellow div:nth-child(3n+1) {
// Remove the margin on the left side on the very first and then every fourth element (for example)
margin-left: 0;
}
.yellow div:last-child {
// Remove the right side margin on the last element
margin-right: 0;
}
The number 3n+1 equals every fourth element outputted and will clearly only work if you know how many will be displayed in a row, but it should illustrate the example. More details regarding nth-child here.
Note: For :first-child to work in IE8 and earlier, a <!DOCTYPE> must be declared.
Note2: The :nth-child() selector is supported in all major browsers, except IE8 and earlier.
Add margin to your div style
margin:0 10px 10px 0;

I'm late to the party but... I've had a similar situation come up and I discovered padding-right (and bottom, top, left too, of course). From the way I understand its definition, it puts a padding area inside the inner div so there's no need to add a negative margin on the parent as you did with a margin.
padding-right: 10px;
This did the trick for me!
Is it not just a case of applying an appropriate class to each div?
For example:
.firstRowDiv { margin:0px 10px 10px 0px; }
.secondRowDiv { margin:0px 10px 0px 0px; }
This depends on if you know in advance which div to apply which class to.
A litte late answer.
If you want to use a grid like this, you should have a look at Bootstrap, It's relatively easy to install, and it gives you exactly what you are looking for, all wrapped in nice and simple html/css + it works easily for making websites responsive.
I need the menu (home, portfolio, services, about) is aligned in the middle and left.
The div#header-login should be flush right
How can I accomplish these tasks?
To solve the first problem, I put the divs with display: inline; but for some reason the ul#header-menu is leaving a space at the top
To solve the second problem, I tried to put the div#header-login with 100% width and thus align the text to the right but failed.
Here is the complete code:
The easiest way to achieve this is to make sure you float everything in the header. With the current mix of some float and some non-float (plus some elements with display:inline), this will be tricky to manage and potentially problematic if you need this to work in older versions of Internet Explorer.
I've made a few small modifications to your jsFiddle. This now floats the 3 elements in the header and applies float clearing to the header div itself so that the content after the header clears properly (there are also commented examples of how you'd need to do this for the IEs with conditional stylesheets).
http://jsfiddle.net/y4Qyw/1/
I've not tweaked the spacing specifically, but it should be a formality now to position everything where you want with some padding and/or margin. Automatic vertical positioning in this situation isn't possible unless you're working with display:table-cell (which isn't entirely cross browser), so you'll just need to vertically offset your menu downward to get it centre-aligned.
Here is the deal:
div#header
{
clear:both;
overflow:hidden;
}
div#header-login
{
text-align: right;
overflow:hidden;
float:right;
margin-top:-30px;
}
img#header-logo
{
display: block;
float:left;
}
ul#header-menu
{
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px;
display: block;
list-style-type: none;
overflow:hidden;
}
I'm trying to hide some text inside an <li> element using CSS by setting text-indent: -999px;.
For some reason this doesn't work when I set the direction of the document to "rtl" (right to left - my site is in Hebrew).
When direction is "rtl" the text still shows...
Anyone knows why, and a way around this?
Along with text-indent: -9999px try using display: block;. It solved for me.
Additionally, if you need the li elements to float horizontally (e.g. a horizontal menu), use float: left;.
What about setting direction:ltr on the elements you're trying to give negative text-indent?
Demo: jsfiddle.net/Marcel/aJBnN/1/
My problem was with text-align. In case you modify align mode of the element or parent element(s) wrapping it to left, you must give a negative index for text-indent. Otherwise you must give a positive value.
.case1{text-indent:-999px;text-align:left;overflow:hidden;display:block}
Otherwise
.case2{text-indent:999px;text-align:right;overflow:hidden;display:block}
Try setting text-alignment to match the direction in which you are indenting text.
For example, if you use LTR and want to indent text negatively, besides adding display: block, you should also add left alignment.
Not sure for RTL, but seems logical you should indent it positively and use right alignment.
I found the best way is to make the text a transparent color:
color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
Note:
This bug still exists in firefox 12 (text-indent value is ignored on rtl)
color: transparent;
or
font-size:0px;
You can use line-height specifying a large value, say 100px for a 30px high container.
only works if your container is limited in size. you may have to specifically set height if it isn't yet.
I prefer this solution:
.hide_text { text-indent: 100%; white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; }
The text-indent: -99px is an old trick, which is not the optimal way to hide text. Why not use visibility:hidden instead?
text-align: right; works for me
Add overflow hidden then it will work fine.
div{
text-indent: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
<div>
search
<input type="text">
</div>
