CSS - Display: Inline, With Img Inside?

Hello,

I know that putting a block level element (such as <p> or <div>) inside an inline element (such as <a>) is against "xhtml 1.0 strict" rules, so I'm putting a <span> (inline) within an <a> (also inline).

I've made my <span> "display: block;", and it works in all browsers and validates fine, but I feel like I'm cheating the system a bit?

The thing is, I need to put a margin under a piece of text without using <br /> (as when a browser forces a line break, it will use that rule and make different pieces of text look odd), but all the text is within an anchor tag, so I can't use <p> or <div>.



Would appreciate any thoughts on the matter,

Cheers!

Could someone enlighten me why the page in the following URL functions perfectly in both IE6 and FF and yet, I seem to be totally unable to get the darn thing working locally? I am trying to avoid JavaScript and this looked like a very clean way of hiding and revealing menu items. I don't speak Japanese so I don't understand the text on the page either.

Hello, my code works fine on my MAC browsers, but on my PC, IE6 browser, the buttons underneath the body of the page don't align.

Here's the site: http://www.caillouette.com/Utilitrek/three/
Here's the CSS:http://www.caillouette.com/Utilitrek/three/style2.css

Can someone tell me if this site looks okay in IE 7? I can't download IE 7 because of some technical quirk on my computer.

And if they don't align in IE 7, please tell me what I should do.

thanks

This is bugging me to death. I cannot get these to top elements to display inline.
If anyone could take a look in firebug to see element and related css applied and tell me whats wrong.
The page is:
http://travelmagoo.com/index.php?option=com_resource&controller=article&article=384&category_id=201&Itemid=0

at the top header there is a title and to the right there is an image. I would like the image and title to be on the same line but everything i do will not let me do this.
any ideas?

I am working on a drupal site and I having problems getting some images in a block to display inline. I am able to effect some of the aspects of the images (they are list items in a ul) but I can't get them to display inline.

Here is the html from the source: <div id="block-views-recent_images" class="block block-views">
<div class="blockinner">
<h2 class="title"> recent images </h2>
<div class="content">
<div class='view view-recent-images'><div class='view-content view-content-recent-images'><div class="item-list"><ul><li><div class='view-item view-item-recent-images'><div class='view-field view-data-node-data-field-user-images-field-user-images-fid'><a href="/image-upload/admin/05-sep-2007/204"><img src="(xxxxxx) image_0.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div></div>
</li><li><div class='view-item view-item-recent-images'><div class='view-field view-data-node-data-field-user-images-field-user-images-fid'><a href="/image-upload/admin/05-sep-2007/201"><img src="(xxxxxxx) image.jpg" alt="shack" title="some image" /></a></div></div>
</li></ul></div></div><div class='more-link'><a href="/recent_images">more</a></div></div>

And here is the css that I have attempted so far:

#block-views-recent_images {
background: #EBE9ED;
}

#block-views-recent_images li{
list-style-image: none;
list-style-type: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
display: inline;
}

I am new to CSS so I know I may have taken a completely wrong approach. Thanks for any suggestions on how to get the images to display inline.

Thanks

Hi, I have created a horizontal navigation before with no problem, yet I am now having trouble.
Here's the site: http://www.caillouette.com/Catering/

I have the Div named "indentmenu" and the <ul class="toolbar">
Here's the style sheet: http://www.caillouette.com/Catering/style2.css
and here's the navigation: http://www.caillouette.com/Catering/header_nav.inc

what am i doing wrong?

thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am having trouble with the display: inline tag.
********************************************
Here is the style:

H1.nolinebreak
{
font-size : 12pt;
display: inline;
}

Here is an HTML snippet:

<p>
Here is my content text. Blah blah <H1 class="nolinebreak"> inline header 1 </H1> blah blah blah <H1 class="nolinebreak"> inline header 2 </H1>
</p>
********************************

The second and additional instances of the <h1 class="nolinebreak"> works great. But the first one always puts in a line break. I need them all to display inline. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have some simple code as follows:
Code:

#stars{
width:400px;
height:33px;
}

.star{
width:33px;
height:33px;
background-image: url('images/product_review/star.gif');
font-size:0pt;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="stars">
<div class="star">1</div><div class="star">2</div><div class="star">3</div><div class="star">4</div><div class="star">5</div><div class="star">6</div><div class="star">7</div><div class="star">8</div><div class="star">9</div><div class="star">10</div>
</div>

I tried dislpay:inline; for the #stars and the .stars CSS, but inline makes the images disappear. They only show when I remove "inline", but they are stacked in a vertical row. I need them to be horizontal.
Here's the link: click here
Can someone show me what I doing wrong?
thanks

I know that display:inline is supposed to change a Block element to view like an inline element.
I take that to mean that the display:inline will eliminate any added space the Block element has in it. Meaning images and text will butt up against each other, but it's not working the way I expected.

I have a list with images that I want to butt up against each other vertically . These images stack on top each other and to the left.
The list has zero pixels for padding and margins.
In the browsers that 5 pixel line shows up unless I code in a <p> then I adjust the <p> to have no padding or margin.

EX:
Code:

<div id="maincontent">
<ul>             
  <li class="hoodmenu"><p><a href="#"><img src="bu_streetware.jpg" alt="street ware"></a></p></li>
  <li class="hoodmenu"><p><a href="#"><img src="bu_dolls.jpg" alt="womens"></a></p></li>
  <li class="hoodmenu"><p><a href="#"><img src="bu_dudes.jpg" alt="guys"></a></p></li>
  <li class="hoodmenu"><p><a href="#"><img src="bu_beginners.jpg" alt="children"></a></p></li>
</ul>      
</div>

This seems like a hack. I have tried using display;inline but the spaces still appear.
The code validates in 4.01 HTML and in CSS3. I also noticed I don't have to use the <p> in Opera or Safari, but I do for Firefox.

Is this the correct way to handle this problem?
If not, how should I actually write the code?

Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I have two containers that I want to line up at the top. I can't seem to make them line up.

I have a picture inside a <div>, then I have a paragraph. It works in IE7, but in FF, the <p> appears under the picture. If I put a width on the <p> it moves up, but never up all the way so that it is inline with the picture.

I'm stumped and not sure what to do. I tried putting display:inline; on either classes, and on both classes at the same time. Not sure what else to do.

If I put a width on the <p>, it looks like this in FF

|------|
|Icon | |---------------------------|
|------| | ElevatorSpeech ES2..........|
.............|---------------------------|


It looks like this if I have no width on <p>

|------|
|Icon |
|------|

|---------------------------|
|ElevatorSpeech ES2...........|
|---------------------------|


HTML:
Code:

        <div class="ESContainer">
	        <p class="Title1">Control</p>
            <div class="Icon"><img src="Images/Remote.jpg" align="Zone All Control Remote Control" /></div>
            <p class="ElevatorSpeech ES2">Control your surroundings with confidence, get the results you deserve.</p>
            <p class="ElevatorFull"><span class="EFLargeText">Zone-All</span> has been manufacturing room comfort temperature controls for more than two decades. Its variable air volume and variable temperature solutions for zone controls are applicable to heating and cooling systems that are designed using both incremental HVAC units and central station air handlers.</p>
        </div>

CSS:
Code:

.Icon {
float: left;
margin-left: 10px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100px;
background-color:#FF0000;
}

.ElevatorSpeech {
font-size: 19px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-right: 10px;
float: left;
padding: 0px;
/*width: 225px;*/
background-color:#FFFF00;
}

Thanks,

Brad

Please look at this site -
http://www.hitechtranny.com

In FF and IE7. Notice in FF that the last link "Contact" on the main nav does not fit?

I use this navigation on numerous sites and I always get this problem.

Is there a quick fix such as a margin/padding issue I am missing that would fix this?

Thanks.

Hi,

My site is loading fine in IE but messing up in FF, the tables (yes tables, sry) are loosing all height and widths. Ive had a look about but cant work out how to fix/get around this.

HTML Code:

<div id="products">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#ED1C24" style="width:194px; height:114px; margin-right:5px;margin-bottom:5px;">
<tr>
<td align="left" class="code" style="padding-left:3px;">
	AKA
</td>
<td align="right" class="name" style="padding-right:3px;">
	TITLE
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center" valign="middle" style="background-image: url(images/item_bg.gif); background-repeat:no-repeat;">
	<a href="details.php?id=CODE">
	<img src="images/products/photos/CODE.jpg" alt="TITLE" border="0" style="height:84px; width:184;" /></a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

CSS
Code:

#products { padding-bottom:10px; line-height:20px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:11px; letter-spacing:1px; display:inline-table; vertical-align:top;}
#products table {display: inline}

How can i get the same effect so FF looks the same as IE?

Thanks for any help.

I'm new to CSS (Other then very basic CSS)

Anyway I have a menu which uses a tags, that also have a background image.

I am adding in the background image with CSS, I have the display set to inline-block as block would put everything to the next line and inline would not allow for the image to show though in full (only enough for the text inside the link.

Anyway using display: inline-block it seems to put padding on the links, is there a way to remove this? i want the background images from the links to be next to each other with no spacing or padding.

My code:

#buttonBackground {
display: inline-block;
background-image:url(/media/images/button_background.jpg);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width: 113px;
padding-top: 4px;
height: 23px;
text-align:center;
vertical-align: bottom; (This isn't working either?)
}

and a sample link:

<a href="default.asp" id="buttonBackground">HOME</a>

Anyone able to help me remove the padding surronding the a tag?

Okay i have been working on this for a while now, and i hate asking for help.. but i have given up on it.

Firstly i started using display:inline-block; which meant i could have a width so my hover over menu effect would work. But this did not work in IE7 which means it is useless to what i am doing.

So i then moved onto Display:inline; This worked fine, in both IE and Firefox, but the width cannot be set with this value. This value just wraps itself around the content. But i need to set a width to the Inline value.

Any help?


CSS:
Code:

#navcontainer ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}

#navcontainer ul li { 
display: inline;
width: 65px;
height: 21px;
background: url("images/tabbg.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
text-align:center; 
}

#navcontainer ul li a{
display:inline;
width: 65px;
height: 21px;
background: url("images/tabbg.gif") 0 0 no-repeat;
text-decoration: none;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover{
background-position: -65px 0;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

html:
Code:

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Milk</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Eggs</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Cheese</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Vegetables</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Fruit</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
