Align CSS "close button" in announcement bar

I'm working on an announcement bar for my website, but I got stuck on positioning the "close" button.
The bar itself works just fine, but I couldn't get to position the "close" button at the right of the announcement bar, where you usually find them. I've tried using margin-right, padding and similar solutions but they didn't work.
Also, I wanted to find the best way to make the button disappear (along with the bar) once it's clicked
EDIT: Here's the solution, provided by GrafiCode.
Here's the code and you can see it running here:
HTML:
<div id="dabar" class="hideonload"></div>
CSS:
/* top-bar */
#dabar {
background: #1b1c1e;
color: #fff;
font-size: 14px;
position: fixed;
z-index: 1;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 100% !important;
padding: 10px 0px;
text-align: center;
}
#dabar a {
color: #b5e48c;
border-bottom: 1px;
}
.btn-close {
margin-left: calc(100vw - 48px);
margin-top: -16px;
border: 0;
padding: 0;
background: red;
border-radius: 50%;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
display: flex;
flex-flow: nowrap;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
cursor: pointer;
transition: all 150ms;
}
.btn-close .icon-cross {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0;
background: none;
position: relative;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
}
.btn-close .icon-cross:before,
.btn-close .icon-cross:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 6.5px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 2px;
background: #fff;
border-radius: 2px;
}
.btn-close .icon-cross:before {
transform: rotate(45deg);
}
.btn-close .icon-cross:after {
transform: rotate(-45deg);
}
.btn-close .icon-cross span {
display: block;
}
.btn-close:hover,
.btn-close:focus {
transform: rotateZ(90deg);
background: #05c;
}
JAVASCRIPT:
window.onload = function() //executes when the page finishes loading
{
setTimeout(func1, 2500);
};
function func1() {
var el = document.getElementById('dabar');
el.innerHTML = 'Empieza aquí | Start here<button class="btn-close" onclick="this.parentElement.style.display=\'none\'" ><span class="icon-cross"></span></button>';
el.className = 'showtopbar';
}
Thanks a lot for your time!

How do I make my multiple choice code written in CSS & JS to only select one option? Currently I can select both

I am having a bit of trouble here, and I am sure this is an easy fix. I am very inexperienced in Javascript & I am trying to learn how to code better looking sites.
Basically I am using this code for selecting iOS or Android, but I want to be able to only select one or the other. Instead I am able to select both. Could someone please help explain how to select either one or the other? Preferably when selecting one it automatically deselects the other if the other is already selected. I would really appreciate help! Thank you very much.

You just have to remove the other's .borderOverlay.
You can do that by using $(this).siblings() and this will select all other li except the one that was clicked on.
$("li").click(function () {
if($(this).find('.borderOverlay').length) {
$(this).find('.borderOverlay').remove();
} else {
$(this).append('<div class="borderOverlay"><i class="fa fa-check"></i></div>');
$(this).siblings().find('.borderOverlay').remove();

<h1>Device</h1>
<div class="wrap">
<ul>
<li><i class="fa fa-apple"></i></li>
<li><i class="fa fa-android"></i></li>
</ul>
</div>

There is a reason semantic HTML is a thing - there is an element that does this natively - the input type="radio".
<h1>Device</h1>
<div class="wrap">
<label>
<input type="radio" class="myRadio" name="myRadio"/>
<i class="fa fa-apple"></i>
<div class="borderOverlay"></div>
</label>
<label>
<input type="radio" class="myRadio" name="myRadio"/>
<i class="fa fa-android"></i>
<div class="borderOverlay"></div>
</label>
</div>
We place them within a label, so clicking anywhere within the label triggers the radio.
When a radio is pressed, all other radios with the same 'name' will be updated.
This will also accept input from space/enter not only click (as do <button> elements). Simply adding an 'click' eventListener will also apply for these keys.
And are also focusable by keyboard navigation (using the Tab Key), which is quite important but gets omitted way too much.
You can easily hide the actual buttons:
.wrap > label{
position: relative;
}
.myRadio {
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
And also style them directly with pure CSS:
.myRadio:checked ~ .borderOverlay {
/* rules for showing borderOverlay animation */
}
And loop them when a change occurs:
var radioButtons = Array.from(document.getElementsByClassName('myRadio'));
radioButtons.map(function(radio){
radio.addEventListener('change', function(e){
var selectedTarget = radioButtons.filter(btn => btn.checked)[0];
// do something with **selectedTarget**
};
});

How to center text inside CSS spinner?

I found a snippet of CSS somewhere on the Internet that re-creates the cool PayPal spinner, and I made a fiddle out of it:
https://jsfiddle.net/55s5oxkf/5/
It works great but I can't figure out how to place text right in the center of that spinner, something like "Loading...". I've tinkered and tried but can't get anything to work.
Here's the CSS:
.spinner.loading {
display: none;
padding: 50px;
text-align: center;
}
.spinner.loading:before {
content: "";
height: 90px;
width: 90px;
margin: -15px auto auto -15px;
position: absolute;
top: 35%;
left: 45%;
border-width: 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #2180c0 #ccc #ccc;
border-radius: 100%;
animation: rotation .7s infinite linear;
}
#keyframes rotation {
from {
transform: rotate(0deg);
}
to {
transform: rotate(359deg);
}
}
And the HTML:
<div id="divSpinner" class="spinner loading"></div>
Placing text in between the opening and closing div elements does nothing. Any ideas?

<center> is no longer supported (center deprecated in html5) so use a class like this:
.centered {
text-align: center;
}
Then use calc to get the correct position for the loading text:
.loading-text {
width: 90px;
position: absolute;
top: calc(50% - 15px);
left: calc(50% - 45px);
text-align: center;
}
$("#btnLoadRecords").click(function() {
$("#divSpinner").show();
setTimeout(function() {
$("#divSpinner").hide();
}, 10000);
});
.centered {
text-align: center;
}
.spinner.loading {
display: none;
padding: 50px;
text-align: center;
}
.loading-text {
width: 90px;
position: absolute;
top: calc(50% - 15px);
left: calc(50% - 45px);
text-align: center;
}
.spinner.loading:before {
content: "";
height: 90px;
width: 90px;
margin: -15px auto auto -15px;
position: absolute;
top: calc(50% - 45px);
left: calc(50% - 45px);
border-width: 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #2180c0 #ccc #ccc;
border-radius: 100%;
animation: rotation .7s infinite linear;
}
#keyframes rotation {
from {
transform: rotate(0deg);
}
to {
transform: rotate(359deg);
}
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div class="centered">
<div id="divSpinner" class="spinner loading">
<div class="loading-text">Loading ...</div>
</div>
<button id="btnLoadRecords" style="cursor:pointer;position: absolute; top: 52%; left: 45%;">Load Records</button>
</div>
</body>

For the HTML:
<div id="divSpinner" class="spinner loading" style="display: none;">
<span>Loading…</span>
</div>
For the CSS, in addition to what you have:
.spinner.loading::before{
// Remove position, top, and left properties
margin: -15px auto -65px auto;
display: block (or flex);
}
This will make it work with your existing code, but what you’ve got is pretty hacky. If you want text to be inside your spinner, you should not use a ::before element. But given what you have, this will work.

this should center the content
html
<div id="divSpinner" class="spinner loading">
<p>hello</p>
</div>
css
.spinner.loading {
display: none;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
width: 106px;
height: 106px;
}
.spinner.loading:before {
content: "";
height: 90px;
width: 90px;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
border-width: 8px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #2180c0 #ccc #ccc;
border-radius: 100%;
animation: rotation .7s infinite linear;
}
#keyframes rotation {
from {
transform: rotate(0deg);
}
to {
transform: rotate(359deg);
}
}

Add this in your css:
.loading {
position: relative;
text-align: center;
line-height: 140px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
And then just add text in loading div between span, for example:
<div id="divSpinner" class="spinner loading">
<span class="text">Loading..</span>
</div>
And because loading has 8px border add this for text class:
.text {
margin-left: 15px;
}
I think something like this should get you going.

Center element with animation / transition

I'm trying to create a full screen menu that does a bottom-to-top movement and I'm having trouble when it comes to vertically centering it.
Basically, it comes out of the screen and should end up right in the middle of it (centered).
However, since it is a fixed menu with an unknown height and I'm using animations, the options available aren't many:
I can't use the margin: auto technique because the auto value doesn't work with transitions;
I'm trying to avoid using flexbox;
translateY() seems to work fine but it creates a top-to-bottom movement instead of the desired bottom-to-top one (see my code)
anything else? (preferably that works with older browsers, but I can also manage with using translateY if there's a way to change the direction)

You were quite close. With just a few adjustments in the CSS, you have a full working demo:
$('#small-nav-btn').click(function() {

$('#cross').click(function() {

Notes:
The CSS offset properties (top, bottom, left, right), when applied to absolutely-positioned elements (which includes position: fixed), shift the element x-distance from the respective edge.
You have top: -100% in your code. This puts the element 100% above the top edge.
You then have it shifting to top: 50%. This puts the element halfway inside the container.
Essentially, your animation moves the element a distance of 150%, from above the window to inside it. The movement is top to bottom.
But you want the movement to go from bottom to top.
So start the element all the way at the bottom and off-screen (top: 100%), and have it shift up to halfway inside the container (top: 50%).
The transform: translate() rule simply fine-tunes the centering.
If translateY(-50%) is applied to the primary state (like in your code), it will shift 50% of the nav onto the screen before the transition (demo).
That's why I applied translateY(-50%) only to the transitioned state.
For a complete explanation see my answer here: Element will not stay centered, especially when re-sizing screen

How to morph a plus sign to a minus sign using CSS transition?

I want to create a toggle button that morphs its shape from a plus sign to a minus sign.
Using CSS only, without the use of pseudo-elements.
My desired effect is to have the vertical line in the "+" sign to shrink into the horizontal line.
I know it's possible but I'm not sure which is the best route to take. I was thinking of doing something with the height but I'm worried about the line-height of browsers changing its position in the element.
$('button').on("click", function(){
$(this).toggleClass('active');
});
button {
color: #ecf0f1;
background: #e74c3c;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border: 0;
font-size: 1.5em;
}
button span {
transition: all .75s ease-in-out;
}
button.active span {
/* Code to morph + to - */
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button><span>+</span></button>

Because of the simplicity of the shapes, the easiest way is just to make the + and - with elements. Using pseudo elements would be the cleanest solution, but you can also just use a DOM element and have a slightly messier document structure.
With that in mind, the actual solution is straightforward. We use CSS to position elements to resemble the desired characters, and then "morph" between them by animating that position.
Take a look over the following code, and try to understand what each rule is accomplishing.
button {
color: #ecf0f1;
background: #e74c3c;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border: 0;
font-size: 1.5em;
position: relative;
}
button span {
position: absolute;
transition: 300ms;
background: white;
border-radius: 2px;
}
/* Create the "+" shape by positioning the spans absolutely */
button span:first-child {
top: 25%;
bottom: 25%;
width: 10%;
left: 45%;
}
button span:last-child {
left: 25%;
right: 25%;
height: 10%;
top: 45%;
}
/* Morph the shape when the button is hovered over */
button:hover span {
transform: rotate(90deg);
}
button:hover span:last-child {
left: 50%;
right: 50%;
}
<button>
<span></span>
<span></span>
</button>

no need for span, you can do this using text() with a if statement in jquery
$('button').on("click", function() {
$(this).toggleClass('active');
$(this).text() == "+" ? $(this).text("-") : $(this).text("+");
});
button {
color: #ecf0f1;
background: #e74c3c;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border: 0;
font-size: 1.5em;
transition: all .75s ease-in-out;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button>+</button>

Ah my bad I've overlooked that OP doesn't want to use any pseudo
elements. But the big advantage with pseudo elements would be that you have less HTML Code and a cleaner structure.
It's also a different morphing animation as OP wants but maybe someone else can use this.
So if you don't mind I'll let my suggestion there.
Maybe something like this?
HTML
<div class="button"></div>
CSS
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0;
background: #343838;
}
.button {
position: absolute;
width: 55px;
height: 55px;
background: #70975B;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(0deg);
border-radius: 50%;
cursor: pointer;
z-index: 100;
transition: 0.4s cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.3, 1.1);
}
.button:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
height: 2px;
width: 50%;
background: white;
}
.button:before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
height: 50%;
width: 2px;
background: white;
}
.button.clicked {
transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(360deg);
background: #CC2A41;
}
.button.clicked:before {
width: 0;
}
jQuery
$(".button").click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass("clicked");
});
And here a working example
http://codepen.io/svelts/pen/LkyZoZ

try this
$('button').on("click", function() {
var $this = $(this);
$this.toggleClass('toggle');
if ($this.hasClass('toggle')) {
$this.text('+');
} else {
$this.text('-');
}
});
button {
color: #ecf0f1;
background: #e74c3c;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
border: 0;
font-size: 1.5em;
transition: all .75s ease-in-out;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<button class="toggle">+</button>
