CSS - Effective Css Text Indenting?
Hello, I have large paragraphs of text, and I would like to indent only the first lines of each of these paragraphs. I understand the text-indent property, although I do not know how to use it with only the first line of a large paragraph of text.
Could anyone please offer a solution? Thanks! Similar TutorialsI am learning to do drop down menus and so far, so good. What I cannot figure out is that in the drop downs the text seems to be indented. For example, if the text said "New information", the "New" part starts what appears to be a few spaces to the right. I did, most recently, set the text to be centered but it still does this. The effect is that if the text wraps to a second line, then the second line is further to the left. Looks odd to me but I can't figure out how to fix it. Thanks for any help. Richard I have a left-hand side nagivation TD containing plain-text links. The TD is a fixed width and I want to be able to indent automatically the second line of text in a link should the text for the text for the link exceed the fixed width of the TD. Anyone know how to achieve this effect? An example of what I might want it to look like... Code: Link one Link two A longer link three Link four Good Morning All, Been having a slight problem with the visual in the screenshot below. The blue line is our H2, and the purple one is our H3, however, as you can see, the underline spans the entire width of the column, not just underneith the text, which is our requirement. ***As i am not allowed to upload a url as a new user, the underline is as follows. With the text centre aligned. text ----------------------------------------------------------- rather than text ------ and obviously by the css, the underline on the headers is a small image, repeated - x. Please see relevant css information. * (line 23) { margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; } h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 (line 101) { font-size: 1.2em; font-weight: normal; padding-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 0.6em; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0.8em; margin-left: 0pt; text-align: center; } .contentArea h2, #secondaryNavigation h2 (line 114) { background-color: transparent; background-image: url("../images/h2_gradient_bg.gif"); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-attachment: scroll; background-position: left bottom; color: #0066cc; } Many Thanks in advance. Marc. I would like to pop up the text, that is, make it bigger when the user hovers on it. but the problem everytime the text gets bigger, the whole row moves and the surrounding texts gets displaced. any idea ? tutorial? let me know if i need to explain more. can someone help me with this? here is the page&css I have been working on... the page file the css file I might be silly to use a template that I did on illustrator (with all the banner, boxes and navbar read and just use that as my container background. then I made some transparent boxes for puting in text, images or form elements. Is that why I am not able to select any other those things on the site? this is the first time I try using css to make the whole webpage, so I would appreciate any guidance...thanks!! I know how to position regular text using the in-line style "text-align:right", but when I try to do that with a link I get nowhere. Simplified example: Code: <html> <body> <td><p style="text-align:right">Google</p></td> <td><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td> <td><a style="text-align:right" href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></td> <td><span style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a></span></td> <td style="text-align:right"><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td> <span style="text-align:right"><td><a href="http://www.google.com" style="text-align:right">Google</a></td></span> </body> </html> The first body line works fine to move the text to the right, but the link in lines 2-5 of the body are stuck on the left. Any suggestions? (My actual code invokes a class from a css page in a particular <td> and I'm trying to force a link in that <td> to the right using an in-line style; while I can do that for regular text I haven't found the secret of doing that for a link.) I saw a website that was throwing text that was written and recalling it with a link into a textbox...are there any tuts or anyone help me out with this one thanx aim rpduece i have almost perfected the text wrap for this page.... http://defunctgames.com/helpfix/relevent.php4 problem is, i put a margin-top:50px on the image, and i want the text above the image, to flow all the way to the left. thus fully wraping the text. Hi. See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should. Please also read some comments in the code. Code: <html><body><center><br><br> Why does image not force the outermost span to be at least as high as image?<br> If the text are long enough and gets below the bottom border of image it look good though.<br><br> NOTE: I need to put Image and text either within separate span or in same span as the examples below.<br> In my real application I'm using an <a href=" ...> around the outer span in examples below.<br> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;"> <span style="display:block; float:left"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0"> </span> <span style="display: block; color: white;"> Text here. </span> </span> </td></tr></table> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; color: white;"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0" style="float:left"> Text here. </span> </td></tr></table> </center></body></html> I'm having trouble with a page I'm working on- I posted here a few weeks ago with something sort of similar. This time, though, I'm at a loss, I've tried several different things but nothing worked. http://www.geocities.com/nny555/eup/newschedule.html As you can see, the div where the content is, the text is stretching right through the div. Is there any way to fix this? Is it possible to have text run around a div positioned with absolute positioning? Hi, Howdo you get text and and image on the same line. I want text and 2 images on the same line but the image appears on the next line like a <br> has been entered. There is plenty of room for all data.Each has its own <div>. Based on the questions I see being asked and answered here, I'm concerned many of you will laugh at my ignorance, but here goes anyway. I want to know how to use CSS on just a little text. For example, let's say I want to render One-Two-Three-BOOM as text on a Web page, except that what I really want is for the BOOM part to be in a larger font and bold-faced. Can that be done using CSS? Can I select the BOOM part in Front Page 2003 and impose a CSS style to those four letters and only those four? Everything I try, based on the CSS file I'm using, results in applying the new style to all of the text within a whole paragraph. I want to be able to apply the style to just a little text at a time. As another example, I want to render the following two lines Johnny G. Doe 123 West South Street in such a way that, using CSS to control everything, I can get the second line to appear in a smaller font. I can get it to work if there's a <p> between the two lines, but not if I want to separate them with a <br>. I'm not asking whether it's a good idea to use CSS this way, I'm just asking how to do it. I will try to attach a file to this thread that shows the first several lines of the CSS file I'm using, in case that makes a difference. If this doesn't work, please let me know. Thanks. --Johnny Hmm, This is a problem that has plagued me for a while, but just recently decided to find a solution. Basically I like to single out words for empasis on certain pages. Well with EM that's fine. However on a new website I'm coding I need to do (TYPE 1 FONT) (TYPE 2 FONT) (TYPE 3 FONT). All are different decorations. Is there a way to create a tag for each word? Thanks. Can anyone tell me where I can get some info on CSS? Specifically I am trying to create sort of a news page, which will have a box that contains news articles that slowly scroll upwards until they disppear and then raeppear at the bottom at the bottom of the box again. I know this can be done with CSS and I've kind of accomplished what I want. The problem is that I'm using seperate elements for each article title. Therefore, only one article title scrolls through the box at the time since I can only make one element visible. Mabye, it will make more sense when you see my code. I want to basically be able to have the other news article titles begin to scroll underneath each other, not having to wait for the news article title above it to finish scrolling before the next article enters the box. I hope this makes sense! here is the code: <HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function init() { nos = 1; items = 6; posY = 130; scroller(); } function scroller() { if (nos == items + 1) { nos = 1; } elemID = 'elem'.concat(nos); objDOM = document.all[elemID].style; objDOM.visibility = "visible"; posY -= 1; objDOM.top = posY; if (posY <= 50) { objDOM.visibility = "hidden"; posY = 130; nos += 1; } setTimeout ("scroller()",10); } // --> </SCRIPT> <STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <!-- #elem1 {position:absolute; visibility:hidden; left:35; top:0; z-index:5} #elem2 {position:absolute; visibility:hidden; left:35; top:0; z-index:5} #elem3 {position:absolute; visibility:hidden; left:35; top:0; z-index:5} #elem4 {position:absolute; visibility:hidden; left:35; top:0; z-index:5} #elem5 {position:absolute; visibility:hidden; left:35; top:0; z-index:5} #elem6 {position:absolute; visibility:hidden; left:35; top:0; z-index:5} #screen {position:absolute; visibility:visible; left: 20px; top:50px; z-index:0} --> </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY onLoad="init()"> <DIV ID="elem1"><FONT COLOR="#000000"> News & Events- article 1 </FONT></DIV> <DIV ID="elem2"><FONT COLOR="#000000"> News & Events- article 2 </FONT></DIV> <DIV ID="elem3"><FONT COLOR="#000000"> News & Events- article 3 </FONT></DIV> <DIV ID="elem4"><FONT COLOR="#000000"> News & Events- article 4 </FONT></DIV> <DIV ID="elem5"><FONT COLOR="#000000"> News & Events- article 5</FONT></DIV> <DIV ID="elem6"><FONT COLOR="#000000"> News & Events- article 6</FONT></DIV> <DIV ID="screen"> <TABLE WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=120 BORDER=0 BGCOLOR=#808080> <TD></TD></TABLE> </DIV> </BODY> </HTML> Hey folks, if you look at this page in FF, it's doing what i want. Specifically, the first bike is 'SOLD'. However, in IE it displaces the magnifying glass/info icon, as well as the text in the box. How do i got about positioning the text so it doesn't do that? Here's the CSS; Code:
.sold {
position:relative;
top:-115px;
left:10px;
z-index:100;
color:#ff0000;
font-size:60px;
font-weight:bold;
}
* html .sold {
left:-190px;
top:-50px;
height:1%;
}
Thanks! I'm having problems getting my text to show up on the same line. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here is my code: Code: <div id="subtitle"><b>What Personal Information Is Collected?</b> <div style="font-size:7px"><a href="#whatinfo">SEE MORE DETAILS</a></div></div> The "subtitle" CSS is external: Code:
#subtitle {
font-family:sans-serif, arial, verdana;
font-size:9pt;
background-color:#cccccc;
padding-left:6px;
}
I don't understand why the "SEE MORE DETAILS" link showing up on a second line? I want it at the end of my subtitle. Thanks for your help in advance. Hi Basically i have positioned some text on my site in the place i need, and it looks fine while the browser is maximised. But when i resize, the text moves to accommodate. Is there anyway i can have the text in the right place, but not move when the browser is resized? Thanks Hello, If we can put a stroke on a text as a style using Photshop is it possible to use it on CSS alone? |
