HTML - Hiding The Inline-ness Of Inline-block Lists:
In a nutshell:
--- The following <li> tags are inline-blocks. Why does removing the closing <li> tags fix the whitespace issue? Code: <li>Item one</li> <li>Item two</li> <li>Item three</li> Versus... Code: <li>Item one <li>Item two <li>Item three The context of this question: --- From: CSS display: inline-Block: Why It Rocks, And Why It Sucks The above post is about using inline-block instead of float to position <li> elements, which is useful for making navigation bars. There is one drawback to using inline-block: (You can copy and paste the first piece of code below to see what I'm talking about.) If you restrict the <ul> to a particular width, your navbar won't display correctly, which has something to do with hitting the RETURN key between your lines of code (whitespace issues?). See below: This works fine because there we didn't hit RETURN to create a line break between each list. <li>Item One</li><li>Item Two</li> Here, we hit RETURN to put each list on a separate line and now the code doesn't display properly. The first piece of code below illustrates this problem. <li>Item One</li> <li>Item Two</li> The second piece of code solves this problem by using comments to remove the whitespace. The third piece of code solves this problem by removing the closing <li> tags. My question is, how does removing closing tags change anything? Are there any issues I should be aware of if I use this solution? Are there other contexts where I can apply a similar technique? Code: <style type="text/css">
ul#display-inline-block-example,
ul#display-inline-block-example li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
ul#display-inline-block-example {
width: 300px;

Similar TutorialsHi, I was wondering if someone could explain block and inline elements. I know they deal with word wrap but, I have read and I am still confused on how you know what is a block element and what is an inline element. Can someone provide some aid? Thanks. I'm having some trouble figuring out what the best way to implement something is. I have a <div> with a <button> in it that has some text. I'm using niftyCorners to round the div corners, and the div needs to be a block level element because if I make it inline, the background disappears after it is rounded. My problem is that I only want the div to be as wide as the text in it, because the div is what is providing the background and rounded corners and such for the button. Is there a good way to implement this? All I can think of is floating the div which would be a PITA or trying to set an explicit width with JS or something. Can anyone tell me why, in the code below, the yellow box is lower than the red one? I can't work out why they're not aligned. If I change the boxes' innerHTMLs so that the yellow one contains more text than the red, the red one is lower down. I don't understand why this is happening! Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> </head> <body> <div style='background-color:blue; '><span style='display:inline-block; width:300px; height:200px; background-color:red; '>h gfh difd fk kl;fd ;fdk fdg fdklfd fd fdk kfng yh gi5ut rgfmr fkfmn lpke</span><span style='display:inline-block; width:300px; height:200px; background-color:yellow; '>yh gi5ut rgfmr fkfmn lpke r8nfd dsjnf psdn sd</span></div> </body> </html> I know from personal experience, the specs and some great posts that DIV's are not allowed inside of P tags. And it's normal to be so, but what about inline-blocks? I could simply use SPAN or some other inline element which works inside the P, but IE only renders natural blocks as inline-block. Meaning if it's an inline element it will work in Firefox but not IE, if it's a block the other way arround. So how do I solve this quanundrum? Either I need an element which is a natural block in IE and is allowed inside a P by the specs, or I'll use DIV instead of P, but I would much rather avoid this. Is their any shortcut to give inline css in Dreamviewer ? Since I am using Dreamviewer & I have to write Inline CSS explicitly & there is streachable facility in the control so that we can stretch & its appropriate width & height can be assign to its component ? Since I am getting it in dreamviewer & if any body knows how to do it then please let me know abt it ? Regards.... Which doctype doesn't allow for inline? Right now every line break in my code, IE creates a space in the tables. How do I get rid of this? Thanks, Alec Well, i'm not sure i'm gonna use this snippet but i can think of plenty reasons why i might: Code: <h4 style="display:<?php print $display; ?>"> It won't validate because, quote: "character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data." Maybe i've been staring at it too long but i don't see the difference from any other php statement, which the validator should simply not parse. ?? Thanks, Joey I have display:inline and its adding in two drop boxes that it shouldnt. After the drop boxes it then stops the inline. Im new to css, have only been trying it for the past couple of days. The two drop down boxes are suppose to be on the left, under the links at the top. Can someone explain to me why inline stops where it does? Thanks. Oh yeah, the links under <li> I know their to the wrong address's. body { font-family:georgia,'times new roman',times,serif; color:#BD0A70; background-color:#F2F2F2; } ul.navbar { list-style-type: none; padding:0; width:32em; float:left; } ul.navbar li { display:inline; font-size:125%; background-color:#007BA7; margin:.10em; } ul.navbar a,ul.navbar a:visited { color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; } ul.navbar a:hover { background:#00008B; } form.jump { /* position: absolute; */ float: left; } div.floatright { /* position: absolute; */ float: right; } h1 { clear:both; font-family:helvetica,geneva,arial,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head> <title>My first styled page</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css"> </head> <body> <a charset="ISO-8859-1"> <!-- Site navigation menu --> <ul class="navbar"> <li><a href="index.html">Change email</a> <li><a href="musings.html">Change Password</a> <li><a href="town.html">F.A.Q.</a> <li><a href="town.html">Contact</a> <li><a href="links.html">Log out</a> <li> </li> </ul> <form class="jump" action="/reredirect.php" align="left" method="post"> <input type ="text" name="userpage" size="17" value="Jump to user page" onFocus="this.value=''"> <img src="cooltext406694699.png" align="absbottom" onmouseover="this.src='cooltext406694699MouseOver.png';" onmouseout="this.src='cooltext406694699.png';" input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"></img> </form> <div class="floatright"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- /* 234x60, created 11/22/08 */ google_ad_slot = "0343255875"; google_ad_width = 234; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> <!-- Main content --> <table> <tr> <td> <form method="post" action="/redirect.php" name="event"> <select name="select" class="breakinline" onChange="this.form.submit()"> <OPTION SELECTED>Select friend <OPTION value="/users/sharon">name1 <OPTION value="/users/carrie">name2 <OPTION value="/users/capy">name3 <OPTION value="/users/charla">name4 </SELECT> </FORM> <td> <form id="myeventz" method="post" action="/changeevent.php" name="myevent"> <select name="myevent" class="tabletxt" onChange="this.form.submit()"> <OPTION SELECTED=>12/25 Christmas</option> <OPTION value="0101 Event One">01/01 Event one <OPTION value=" 0202Eventtwo">Remove this event <OPTION value=" ">Add a new event </SELECT> </FORM> </td> </tr> </table> <p>Select item's to remove</p> Hello everyone, I have a problem and it is driving me insane :/.

But unfortunately, this produces ... something I dont want .. as shown by the attachment. This clearly has inexplicable white borders that I have not coded :S, and the three blocks are not inline. Can anyone give a simple explanation as to how to put these in line and eliminate the border between them? Thanks in advance, mintsmike This question might be rather basic. I'm not a web-developer, though I have a lot of other coding experience. As part of an internal webpage I'm creating, I want to access a webservice that returns a string and display it on the page. The service is accessed by URL, and requires parameters that are dynamically generated base upon the request parameters, so I can't just use #include. What I want to see is something like this, where the number string is provided by the webservice: Authorization code: 1343-7205-7570-8264 I tried this: Code: Authorization code: <object type=text/plain data="http://blah/service?params"></object> IE doesn't output the resulting string. Firefox does output the string, but it's not cleanly inlined with the rest of the text. It has it's own big block of the screen that the text sits in. Is there a simple way to insert the text from a dynamically generated URL into the current page? I'd like to open an inline frame on my site. I've got the code this far; however I cannot find out how to finish it. I need to knowhow to get it to open at a certain spot on the page. So like an example would be I want it to open at spot x on a page. How would I code this to open it at that spot? Code: <html> <body> <iframe src="default.asp" width=125px height=125px></iframe> </body> </html> I am trying to create a pop-up window from a link that is within an inline frame. I know the code I am using is correct as when I place the link outside of the inline frame, it works perfectly. It is when the link is placed within the inline frame that it acts up - it opens itself like a regular link within the frame (except that all my pages have frame break on them so it just works to open the page within the same window). This is the code I am using for the frame in my head section... <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function popup(mylink, windowname) { if (! window.focus)return true; var href; if (typeof(mylink) == 'string') href=mylink; else href=mylink.href; window.open(href, windowname, 'width=1000,height=700,scrollbars=no'); return false; } //--> </SCRIPT> and this is the script I am using for the link itself... <A hREF="news.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')"><img align="right" src="news.jpg" border=0></A> This is my website I'm testing this on: www.kingsfieldfarm.net/index3.html The lower link (outside of the inline frame) works. The link inside the frame does not. Can anyone help me? Thanks! (and PS: Does anyone know how to centre the pop up window and get rid of the address bar?)

It references a 20x20 PNG image but you should get the idea wiithout such an image. All I want to do is make the text vertically-aligned to halfway up the image. Centralised, in other words. I've been trying to do it by adding a bottom margin to the text, or by adding a negative top margin to the image, but nothing works! I've got a feeling I'm forgetting something really obvious... Please help, Seymour. I am designing the home page for a website. I have a list of links that is the site index that is 300px wide. I want this on the left side of the page. I want a paragraph that will basically be a introduction to the website to be inline with the index... sitting to the right of the index rather than below it. here is a simplified version of what I have: <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="head1"> <h1> page title </h1> </br> </div> <div id="list" <ul> <li> <a href="perps.html"> blah</a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="Why.html"> blah </a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="surveillance.html">blah </a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="me.html"> blah </a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="network.html"> blah </a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="mystory.html">blah </a> </li> </br> </ul> </div> <div id="intro"> <p> ***paragraph text****.</p> </div> </div> </body> CSS sheet: #list { width:230px; padding: 20px 0 0 20px; border-style: solid; list-style:none; } #intro { border-style:solid; float: right; padding: 0 0 0 0px; margin: 0 0 0 300px; border: 0 0 100px 0; } I know i need to use "span" but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am a newbie in HTML. I would like to be able to display an inline image with a caption (that just display inline as a big character). I have googled a lot but found no satisfying solution. Any suggestion for that? OK I have a home page that has several inline frames. All the action happens in one of the frames in the middle. Now what I want is when they click on a link in this main pane it loads the new page in said frame, but moves the browser back to the top of the parent frame, which is still home.html. The site I'm working on can be accessed at http://www.awardworks.com I tried using an onLoad with a java function that performs: window.scrollTo(0,0); but this didn't work Hi, i've been banging my head against the wall trying to find a solution, and have eventually given in..! I'm creating an html email that has an image in it. Easy When that email is received and the user prints, it replaces the image with another more print friendly version. Easy using media:print in a style. However, when the user then replies to the email, all of the <style> in the <head> is wiped and the large un-printer friendly image remains. The only solution would be to put all styles inline within the <body>. So the question..! Any ideas how to replicate this process only coding within the body? thanks, J hello everybody! I want to know if is possible to: set a link to another page which has an inline frame (e.x. name="I1") and change the inline frame source. Thanks I obviously don't understand layouts as well as I thought I did. I've cut down my last problem so I can upload a page for you to see and the source code for you to play with. Can anyone tell me why I get 3 different displays between IE 6, 7 and mozilla. what I want is for each row to fill the table 100% in height even though the number of lines are different. see the page here Thanks in advance Hey all. I am a PHP/Javascript guy and HTML is not really my strong suit. Any help would be appreciated it here. http://www.khaccounts.net/ -- Just 'View Source' or inspect with Firebug if you have it. I am trying to get the Navigation bar and the textbox underneath it to be centered under the header image. I have tried everything I know to get them centered, but no such luck. Any ideas? |
