CSS - Can A <form Element Hold Inline Elements?
Can a <form element hold inline elements?
For example, Code: <form ... > <input .... /> I'm putting this bare text in this form even if I dunno if it's allowed haha </form> More generally, I know one can NEVER put a block-level element in an inline element. HOWEVER, IS IT ALWAYS possible to put inline elements in block elements ???? Thank you Similar TutorialsHello, I have the following css css Code: Original - css Code ul#menulist{ position:relative; top:0px; list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; } ul#menulist li{ background-color:#717100; display:inline; margin:0; padding:0 10px; border:0; height:30px; } ul#menulist li a{ text-decoration:none; margin:0; padding:0; border:0; }
A gap is appearing between <li> elements in Opera and FF but not in IE. You can check it here Which is the correct behaviour? How do I remove the gaps between <li> elements in a valid way. Thank you. Greetings: I need to essentially create a table out of DIV tags. The reason is because I need to grant the user the ability to use scrollbars to navigate in a given cell. The problem I am running into, is when the DIV elements fall outside of the wrapper DIV, they wrap to new lines. The DIV "table" within the HTML table is by design. This is because I cannot create a scrollable subset of elements within TD tags. I am simply looking for the way to ensure the following: 1. The DIV "cells" do not wrap (as they are now) and 2. Scrollbars exist to move horizontally and vertically within the "cell" I've experimented with all sorts of combinations of CSS in several of the elements to no avail. Thanks for any help. The HTML for the table: Code: <table id="optionsMatrixTable" border="1"> <thead id="optionsMatrixTableHead"> <!-- <tr id="optionsMatrixTableHeadRow"></tr> --> <tr class="menuRow" id="optionsMatrixMenuRow"> <td colspan="7"> <label><input type="checkbox" id="autoUpdateTrigger" name="autoUpdateTime"checked="checked" /> Live update every</label> <select id="autoUpdateTime" name="autoUpdateTime"><option value="15000" selected="selected">15</option><option value="30000">30</option><option value="60000">60</option><option value="90000">90</option><option

Hi! Is it OK to mix inline and block elements? For example: <imp ... /> <p> .... </p> Thanks Maybe an easy one, anyone know how you'd render the the top and bottom border for an inline element in ie? Hi all, I've got a problem on my hands. I've been restructuring the site I work on from their FrontPage code to complete XHTML + CSS. I always thought that by using span's that I could make a block level element display inline, but keep all of it's block level uniqueness, such as height and width and other items, but would display right next to other elements. Works great with headers and such but not with boxes. I created a 4 <span> system inside a centered div, figuring they'd all work. But span's don't keep their block level uniqueness, so nothing displayed at all! I fixed 3 of these 4 by putting their background images inside the spans, which I wanted to avoid, but it works so I won't complain on that. Now I have this. Code: <div id="bigdiv"> <span id="maptop"><img src="images/2004/new_main_front/wel_left_top.jpg" alt="Welcome!" /></span><span id="feattop"><img src="images/2004/new_main_front/feat_right_top.png" alt="" /></span><br /> <span id="mapbot"><img src="images/2004/new_main_front/wel_left_bot.jpg" alt="" /></span><span id="featbot">This is where things will go.</span><br /> </div> Span id featbot has no images, it has a repeat-x background so that I can place and change text in there at will. Because of this, and it being a span, it wraps only to the size of the text, which isn't good. I found a display: inline-table (displays as a table, but inline, pretty obvious), which works great in Safari for OS X, but not in IE 6 or Firefox on Windows. How would I structure this correctly so that it actually does work? Here is an image showing the design and how it's set up (ignore the gradients, they're not being used). As you can see where featbot is, that's where text will go, the others are images, so they display right. Suggestions? I'm really confused here... Thanks. Since this is my first post here, Hello, everyone! I can't find the answer to this simple question anywhere else, so I hope you can help. When a block-level (by default) element is set to "display: inline", can it still contain other block-level elements? BTW I want to avoid using "display: inline-block" since it is not as well-supported. Thanks a bunch, Rachel Hello, I'm trying to achieve an effect using a background image with an inline element. Specifically, I have certain hyperlinks that I want to display a graphical arrow to the right of. Essentially, it looks something like: Hyperlinked text here >>> Where ">>>" is actually a small graphic approximately 20 pixels wide. I don't want to place the image inline, because it's a visual effect and users don't need to "interact" with it. And it's also tied in with the style of the site, so controlling it through CSS is very attractive. I figured out that if I add about 20 pixels of padding to the right of the ANCHOR element, I can use the graphic as a CSS background image. Looks good in IE5+ and Mozilla-based browsers (not concerned with NS4), as long as the ANCHOR text is on one line. Problem is, when the text of the ANCHOR element breaks across two or more lines, I lose the image in IE. Of course, Mozilla-based browsers handle it perfectly -- it's just Microsoft's little problem child that's giving me fits. Anyone else have any luck using a background image on an inline element that spans two or more lines? I can't find any documented hacks or the like to help me out. Any help is greatly appreciated! -Chris IE5 doesn't support this (trying to apply padding-left to links). Has anyone found a good workaround - Don't really want to put each one inside a DIV Ok, so maybe I don't understand the display attribute quite right. What I'm doing makes sense to me, but it's not working right when displayed. I have a div that is set to display inline (so that I don't have to use floating). Since inline elements can't have height/width attributes, i have another div inside of it, with display set to block. This inner div has height and width attributes. Now, if I place another similar structure (block div inside inline div) in the code, the two outer divs /should/ (in my mind) render side-by-side with the heights and widths of their child div's. When I try it though, it displays everything as block-type. Any ideas? PHP Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Title</title> <style type="text/css"> img{ border: 0px black solid; height: 200px; } div.outerholder{ display: inline; } div.innerholder{ text-align: center; height: 200px; width: 267px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: block; } div.centerme{ text-align: center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="centerme"> <div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-right: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-left: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-right: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-left: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="outerholder"> <div class="innerholder" style="margin-right: 5px;"><a href="dir1/PICTURE.JPG"><img src="dir1/PICTURE.JPG" /></a></div> </div> </div> </body> </html> P.S. It also doesn't center properly in FF, but that's secondary... Hi! Does floating an inline element automatically converts it to a block-level element? If yes, what does this give for an inline element: float: left; display: inline; ? Is it bad practice to float inline elements directly? (img, span, input, and so on). Thanks I usually lurk in the Javascript forum, but a frustrating CSS issue has presented itself. I've googled this extensively and haven't found any working solutions. I'll write in pseudo-code what I want to happen, and hopefully someone can fill in the blanks... here goes: Code:
<style type="text/css">
.container {
display: inline-block;
}
.title {
align: left;
}
.subtext {
align: right;
}
</style>
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
<div class="title">Title Goes Here</div>
<div class="subtext">Align Me Right</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
Variable content which container needs to size dynamically to fit. Could be 300px wide, could be 500px wide...
</div>
</div>
What I've tried so far: Tried setting the container width to 1% so IE would autosize to content (while setting white-space: nowrap for the title/subtext), but IE wrapped between the title and subtext elements) Played around with setting absolute widths for the container, but I would really prefer being able to have variably sized content And unfortunately (in many ways) it only has to work in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Is it possible mix inline and block-level elements directly together?? For example: Code: <div....> <input..... /> <-- inline element <ul>... <-- block element </div> Thank you 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! Hi, I have been puzzle for a while now working out how to do this. I have two fixed height divs which I want to appear on the same line (inline). However to maintain the fixed height they cannot be set as display: inline; (Well that works in IE but not in Firefox). Anyway I find out that setting one div to float left and the other to float right with another div with clear:both works fine. However when it comes to setting the position of the flash elements I want in each div element it works now in Firefox but not in IE. I currently have: <div id="diva"> <object id="face1" width="320" height="110"> <param name="face1" value="face1.swf"> <embed src="face1.swf" width="320" height="110"> </embed> </object> </div> <div id="divb"> <object id="face2" width="320" height="110"> <param name="face2" value="face2.swf"> <embed src="face2.swf" width="320" height="110"> </embed> </object> </div> <div id="clear"></div> With the relavent css: #div1 { background-image : url(images/bg1.gif); width: 381px; height: 346px; float: left; text-align : center; vertical-align : bottom; } #div2 { background-image : url(images/bg2.gif); width: 381px; height: 346px; float: right; text-align: center; vertical-align : bottom; } #clear { clear: both; } img { border: 0px; } #face1{ padding-top: 220px; left: 30px; } #face2{ position: relative; top: 220px; left: 10px; } Effectively what I want is: Where the divs are on the same line and are fixed height (as they have a background) and then each swf element releatively positioned inside the div...which will work in Firefox and IE! Thank you for your time. Like the title says. How do I clear all the <b> elements from the innerHTML of a given element, in this case a <li> element? I am trying to completely wipe all the <b> elements and their content between the two <li></li> elements described in the below code dump. Note that there is a <span> element that I want to keep at the end. Thanks! Code:

I'm making a page with what amounts to footnotes 1 . Some sources may be referenced more 2 than 2 once 2 , and when any of them is hovered over, I'd like all items in the same class to be highlighted 3 , so when i hover over this little number three 3 , I want this next number three 3 and the actual reference down below to all change color. Is there any to do this without using javascript? (I don't care if it doesn't work in IE6 - I know that has hover issues... 4 ) 1 - Like This! 2 - that one was used 3x 3 - This is red and so are all the little #3's up there 4 - I'm just using Firefox I know the difference between block and inline elements which is fundamental to css. What I just recently started seeing was replaced and non-replaced elements. Can someone explain the differences between. I can't grasp the info that's given here. http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#q4 Hello, Having a bit of trouble with a <div>. I am trying to have an <img> and a <p> displayed side by side. I have tried to have two child <div> elements displayed inline, that didn't work, floating <div> elements didn't seem to do it either and then i removed the child elements and just had an <img> and a <p> with the <img style="float:left"> but, again, no joy. Does anyone have any suggestions? I tried to play around with my code to see if I could get a image of a bar and its two ends on the top border of the div containers and have text on it. But this is what I have so far and its not working! Code: .preview {border 1xp solid black;
background-color: white;
}
.preview .innerdiv{
background: transparent url(css/bar.png);
position: relative;

I have a web page that I am going to give to a someone that will give me something if I get it done in a week so I want to get this hard to figure out proplem out of my way so I can get more done faster. Your help will be most thankful! I want something like this to help get a better understanding what I want. http://www.quake3world.com/forum/portal.php Im trying to get an input field and form button to line up to the right of an <li> tagged menu and not sure of the approach i should take. I'd prefer not to use a table if possible, and the table im using now is a bit buggy anyway. this is a page with the menu as it shows right now.... http://www.seesawusa.com/products/ this is the page with the basic idea of what im trying to do http://www.seesawusa.com/pages/74/ Things i'v tried 1. put the form inside a LI tag.... This results in putting the search box below the list of menu items across all my test browsers. 2. put the UL and the FORM inside a table with 2 cells... in FF, i get the result i want... except the LI and INPUT field are not aligned to the right in IE6 & 7 I get it lined up the way i want it. But the table pushes the the height and width of the containing div to an unacceptable level I've seen this type of thing before and in my searching other sites i've only found complicated table based layouts that use it. Does anyone know an approach that would allow me to leave out tables, or at the very least only use one? Thanks for the glance. P.S. Interestingly enough, the page you are reading has a menu and text field configuration that im wanting to use, but it is very table oriented. |
