Jquery :not(this) unexpected behavior - javascript

Expectation: Simple 4 line menu, on hover - all divs except the one hovered over with class .snav should lower css font-size to 5px
**** OK PEOPLE - Yeah i know there is a CSS ONLY solution and I know other approaches for resolution -- let me clarify, I was just playing with Jquery selectors and methods, and the Jquery selector I commented out was EXPECTED to work as i listed above, it didn't so i changed it. my question was seeking an explanation for why that commented out selector FAILED ****
In looking at the structure and Jquery below, I expected both Jquery selector versions of the .mouseover to perform the same way, however the one commented out does not perform as expected. instead: It applies the font-size change to all .snav classes and does not exclude the (this) object as expected. I'm looking for someone to explain to me why one selector works but the other does not perform the same way.
//$('.snav').mouseover(function() {
// $('.snav:not(this)').css("font-size","5px");
//});
$('.snav').mouseover(function() {
$('.snav').not($(this)).css("font-size","5px");
});
$('.snav').mouseout(function(){
$('.snav').css("font-size","15px");
});
.snav {font-size:15px; height:30px; line-height:30px;cursor:pointer;width:120px; border:thin solid black;}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="menu">
<div id="nav1" class="snav">HOME</div>
<div id="nav2" class="snav">PAGE 1</div>
<div id="nav3" class="snav">PAGE 2</div>
<div id="nav4" class="snav">PAGE 3</div>
</div>

Your issue is because you're using this as a string in the :not() selector, whereas you need to use the this keyword instead, to reference the element itself:
$('.snav').mouseover(function() {
$('.snav').not(this).css("font-size", "5px");
});
That said, there's no need for Javascript here, you can achieve this in CSS alone:
.snav {
font-size: 15px;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px;
cursor: pointer;
width: 120px;
border: thin solid black;
}
#menu:hover .snav {
font-size: 5px;
}
#menu .snav:hover {
font-size: 15px;
}
<div id="menu">
<div id="nav1" class="snav">HOME</div>
<div id="nav2" class="snav">PAGE 1</div>
<div id="nav3" class="snav">PAGE 2</div>
<div id="nav4" class="snav">PAGE 3</div>
</div>

You've got this embedded in the string; it won't (and can't) be evaluated as this as it exists in the function. Try
$('.snav').mouseover(function() {$('.snav').not(this).css("font-size","5px"); });
Inside jQuery/Sizzle or the browser's native querySelectorAll(), that string "this" is just the letters t h i s. That code has no way of knowing the value of this in your function. You simply cannot create a selector string that involves a DOM element reference directly.

You can't use this in a selector string.
The this keyword exists in JavaScript and references the current context where the code is running. There is no this keyword for CSS selectors, it doesn't know about the JavaScript context.

css :first-visible-child & :last-visible-child [duplicate]

I have a bunch of elements with a class name red, but I can't seem to select the first element with the class="red" using the following CSS rule:
.home .red:first-child {
border: 1px solid red;
}
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
What is wrong in this selector and how do I correct it to target the first child with class red?
This is one of the most well-known examples of authors misunderstanding how :first-child works. Introduced in CSS2, the :first-child pseudo-class represents the very first child of its parent. That's it. There's a very common misconception that it picks up whichever child element is the first to match the conditions specified by the rest of the compound selector. Due to the way selectors work (see here for an explanation), that is simply not true.
Selectors level 3 introduces a :first-of-type pseudo-class, which represents the first element among siblings of its element type. This answer explains, with illustrations, the difference between :first-child and :first-of-type. However, as with :first-child, it does not look at any other conditions or attributes. In HTML, the element type is represented by the tag name. In the question, that type is p.
Unfortunately, there is no similar :first-of-class pseudo-class for matching the first child element of a given class. At the time this answer was first posted, the newly published FPWD of Selectors level 4 introduced an :nth-match() pseudo-class, designed around existing selector mechanics as I mentioned in the first paragraph by adding a selector-list argument, through which you can supply the rest of the compound selector to get the desired filtering behavior. In recent years this functionality was subsumed into :nth-child() itself, with the selector list appearing as an optional second argument, to simplify things as well as averting the false impression that :nth-match() matched across the entire document (see the final note below).
While we await cross-browser support (seriously, it's been nearly 10 years, and there has only been a single implementation for the last 5 of those years), one workaround that Lea Verou and I developed independently (she did it first!) is to first apply your desired styles to all your elements with that class:
/*
* Select all .red children of .home, including the first one,
* and give them a border.
*/
.home > .red {
border: 1px solid red;
}
... then "undo" the styles for elements with the class that come after the first one, using the general sibling combinator ~ in an overriding rule:
/*
* Select all but the first .red child of .home,
* and remove the border from the previous rule.
*/
.home > .red ~ .red {
border: none;
}
Now only the first element with class="red" will have a border.
Here's an illustration of how the rules are applied:
.home > .red {
border: 1px solid red;
}
.home > .red ~ .red {
border: none;
}
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span> <!-- [1] -->
<p class="red">first</p> <!-- [2] -->
<p class="red">second</p> <!-- [3] -->
<p class="red">third</p> <!-- [3] -->
<p class="red">fourth</p> <!-- [3] -->
</div>
No rules are applied; no border is rendered.
This element does not have the class red, so it's skipped.
Only the first rule is applied; a red border is rendered.
This element has the class red, but it's not preceded by any elements with the class red in its parent. Thus the second rule is not applied, only the first, and the element keeps its border.
Both rules are applied; no border is rendered.
This element has the class red. It is also preceded by at least one other element with the class red. Thus both rules are applied, and the second border declaration overrides the first, thereby "undoing" it, so to speak.
As a bonus, although it was introduced in Selectors 3, the general sibling combinator is actually pretty well-supported by IE7 and newer, unlike :first-of-type and :nth-of-type() which are only supported by IE9 onward. If you need good browser support, you're in luck.
In fact, the fact that the sibling combinator is the only important component in this technique, and it has such amazing browser support, makes this technique very versatile — you can adapt it for filtering elements by other things, besides class selectors:
You can use this to work around :first-of-type in IE7 and IE8, by simply supplying a type selector instead of a class selector (again, more on its incorrect usage in the question in a later section):
article > p {
/* Apply styles to article > p:first-of-type, which may or may not be :first-child */
}
article > p ~ p {
/* Undo the above styles for every subsequent article > p */
}
You can filter by attribute selectors or any other simple selectors instead of classes.
You can also combine this overriding technique with pseudo-elements even though pseudo-elements technically aren't simple selectors.
Note that in order for this to work, you will need to know in advance what the default styles will be for your other sibling elements so you can override the first rule. Additionally, since this involves overriding rules in CSS, you can't achieve the same thing with a single selector for use with the Selectors API, or Selenium's CSS locators.
On a final note, keep in mind that this answer assumes that the question is looking for any number of first child elements having a given class. There is neither a pseudo-class nor even a generic CSS solution for the nth match of a complex selector across the entire document — whether a solution exists depends heavily on the document structure. jQuery provides :eq(), :first, :last and more for this purpose, but note again that they function very differently from :nth-child() et al. Using the Selectors API, you can either use document.querySelector() to obtain the very first match:
var first = document.querySelector('.home > .red');
Or use document.querySelectorAll() with an indexer to pick any specific match:
var redElements = document.querySelectorAll('.home > .red');
var first = redElements[0];
var second = redElements[1];
// etc
Although the .red:nth-of-type(1) solution in the original accepted answer by Philip Daubmeier works (which was originally written by Martyn but deleted since), it does not behave the way you'd expect it to.
For example, if you only wanted to select the p here:
<p class="red"></p>
<div class="red"></div>
... then you can't use .red:first-of-type (equivalent to .red:nth-of-type(1)), because each element is the first (and only) one of its type (p and div respectively), so both will be matched by the selector.
When the first element of a certain class is also the first of its type, the pseudo-class will work, but this happens only by coincidence. This behavior is demonstrated in Philip's answer. The moment you stick in an element of the same type before this element, the selector will fail. Taking the markup from the question:
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
Applying a rule with .red:first-of-type will work, but once you add another p without the class:
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p>dummy</p>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
... the selector will immediately fail, because the first .red element is now the second p element.
The :first-child selector is intended, like the name says, to select the first child of a parent tag. So this example will work (Just tried it here):
<body>
<p class="red">first</p>
<div class="red">second</div>
</body>
This won't work, though, if you've nested your tags under different parent tags, or if your tags of class red aren't the first tags under the parent.
Notice also that this doesn't only apply to the first such tag in the whole document, but every time a new parent is wrapped around it, like:
<div>
<p class="red">first</p>
<div class="red">second</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="red">third</p>
<div class="red">fourth</div>
</div>
first and third will be red then.
For your case, you can use the :nth-of-type selector:
.red:nth-of-type(1)
{
border:5px solid red;
}
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
Credits to Martyn, who deleted his answer containing this approach.
More information about :nth-child() and :nth-of-type() is available at http://www.quirksmode.org/css/nthchild.html.
Be aware that this is a CSS3 selector, therefore some now outdated browser versions may not behave as expected (e.g. IE8 or older). Visit https://caniuse.com/?search=nth-of-type for more details.
The correct answer is:
.red:first-child, :not(.red) + .red { border:5px solid red }
Part I: If element is first to its parent and has class "red", it shall get border.
Part II: If ".red" element is not first to its parent, but is immediately following an element without class ".red", it shall also deserve the honor of said border.
Fiddle or it didn't happen.
Philip Daubmeier's answer, while accepted, is not correct - see attached fiddle.
BoltClock's answer would work, but unnecessarily defines and overwrites styles
(particularly an issue where it otherwise would inherit a different border - you don't want to declare other to border:none)
EDIT:
In the event that you have "red" following non-red several times, each "first" red will get the border. To prevent that, one would need to use BoltClock's answer. See fiddle
The above answers are too complex.
.class:first-of-type { }
This will select the first-type of class. MDN Source
Note: Tested with Chrome 91 and Firefox 89, June 2021.
I am surprised no one mentioned the cleanest solution:
.red:not(.red ~ .red) {
border: 1px solid red;
}
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
you could use first-of-type or nth-of-type(1)
.red {
color: green;
}
/* .red:nth-of-type(1) */
.red:first-of-type {
color: red;
}
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
To match your selector, the element must have a class name of red and must be the first child of its parent.
<div>
<span class="red"></span> <!-- MATCH -->
</div>
<div>
<span>Blah</span>
<p class="red"></p> <!-- NO MATCH -->
</div>
<div>
<span>Blah</span>
<div><p class="red"></p></div> <!-- MATCH -->
</div>
Since the other answers cover what's wrong with it, I'll try the other half, how to fix it. Unfortunately, I don't know that you have a CSS only solution here, at least not that I can think of. There are some other options though....
Assign a first class to the element when you generate it, like this:
<p class="red first"></p>
<div class="red"></div>
CSS:
.first.red {
border:5px solid red;
}
This CSS only matches elements with both first and red classes.
Alternatively, do the same in JavaScript, for example here's what jQuery you would use to do this, using the same CSS as above:
$(".red:first").addClass("first");
I got this one in my project.
div > .b ~ .b:not(:first-child) {
background: none;
}
div > .b {
background: red;
}
<div>
<p class="a">The first paragraph.</p>
<p class="a">The second paragraph.</p>
<p class="b">The third paragraph.</p>
<p class="b">The fourth paragraph.</p>
</div>
I am using below CSS to have a background image for the list ul li
#footer .module:nth-of-type(1)>.menu>li:nth-of-type(1){
background-position: center;
background-image: url(http://monagentvoyagessuperprix.j3.voyagesendirect.com/images/stories/images_monagentvoyagessuperprix/layout/icon-home.png);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
<footer id="footer">
<div class="module">
<ul class="menu ">
<li class="level1 item308 active current"></li>
<li> </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="module">
<ul class="menu "><li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="module">
<ul class="menu ">
<li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>
</div>
</footer>
According to your updated problem
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
how about
.home span + .red{
border:1px solid red;
}
This will select class home, then the element span and finally all .red elements that are placed immediately after span elements.
Reference: http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_selectors.asp
For some reason none of the above answers seemed to be addressing the case of the real first and only first child of the parent.
#element_id > .class_name:first-child
All the above answers will fail if you want to apply the style to only the first class child within this code.
<aside id="element_id">
Content
<div class="class_name">First content that need to be styled</div>
<div class="class_name">
Second content that don't need to be styled
<div>
<div>
<div class="class_name">deep content - no style</div>
<div class="class_name">deep content - no style</div>
<div>
<div class="class_name">deep content - no style</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</aside>
The following code will definitely work well everywhere.
it is simple and short.
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="blue"> first-blue </p>
<p class="blue"> second-blue </p>
<p class="blue"> third-blue </p>
<p class="red"> first-red </p>
<p class="red"> second-red </p>
<p class="red"> third-red </p>
<p class="red"> fourth-red </p>
<p class="pink"> first-pink </p>
<p class="pink"> second-pink </p>
<p class="red"> new-first-red </p>
<p class="red"> new-second-red </p>
</div>
we can select the first-red with:
.home .red:not(.home .red ~ .red) {
background-color: blue;
}
if you want to select new-first-red too you should use + instead of ~.
You could use nth-of-type(1) but be sure that site doesn't need to support IE7 etc, if this is the case use jQuery to add body class then find element via IE7 body class then the element name, then add in the nth-child styling to it.
You can change your code to something like this to get it work
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
This does the job for you
.home span + .red{
border:3px solid green;
}
Here is a CSS reference from SnoopCode about that.
All in All, after reading this all page and other ones and a lot of documentation. Here's the summary:
For first/last child: Safe to use now (Supported by all modern browsers)
:nth-child() Also safe to use now (Supported by all modern browsers). But be careful it even counts siblings! So, the following won't work properly:
/* This should select the first 2 element with class display_class
* but it will NOT WORK Because the nth-child count even siblings
* including the first div skip_class
*/
.display_class:nth-child(-n+2){
background-color:green;
}
<ul>
<li class="skip_class">test 1</li>
<li class="display_class">test 2 should be in green</li>
<li class="display_class">test 3 should be in green</li>
<li class="display_class">test 4</li>
</ul>
Currently, there is a selector :nth-child(-n+2 of .foo) that supports selection by class but not supported by modern browsers so not useful.
So, that leaves us with Javascript solution (we'll fix the example above):
// Here we'll go through the elements with the targeted class
// and add our classmodifer to only the first 2 elements!
[...document.querySelectorAll('.display_class')].forEach((element,index) => {
if (index < 2) element.classList.add('display_class--green');
});
.display_class--green {
background-color:green;
}
<ul>
<li class="skip_class">test 1</li>
<li class="display_class">test 2 should be in green</li>
<li class="display_class">test 3 should be in green</li>
<li class="display_class">test 4</li>
</ul>
A quick 'n dirty jQuery solution for marking first and last element within a group of elements with the same classnames:
$('.my-selector').each(function(index, item) {
if (!$(item).next().hasClass('my-selector')) {
$(item).addClass('last');
}
if (!$(item).prev().hasClass('my-selector')) {
$(item).addClass('first');
}
});
.my-selector {
padding: 5px;
background: #ccc;
}
.my-selector.first {
background: #fcc;
}
.my-selector.last {
background: #cfc;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
<span>first element...</span>
<div class="my-selector">Row 1</div>
<div class="my-selector">Row 2</div>
<div class="my-selector">Row 3</div>
<div class="my-selector">Row 4</div>
<span>other elements...</span>
<div class="my-selector">Row 3</div>
<div class="my-selector">Row 4</div>
</div>
Try This Simple and Effective
.home > span + .red{
border:1px solid red;
}
just use
.home > .red ~ .red{
border: 1px solid red;
}
it will work.
I believe that using relative selector + for selecting elements placed immediately after, works here the best (as few suggested before).
It is also possible for this case to use this selector
.home p:first-of-type
but this is element selector not the class one.
Here you have nice list of CSS selectors: https://kolosek.com/css-selectors/
Could you try something like this:
.red:first-of-type {
border: 5px solid red;
}
you also can use this for last element (if you need it):
.red:last-of-type {
border: 5px solid red;
}
Try this solution:
.home p:first-of-type {
border:5px solid red;
width:100%;
display:block;
}
<div class="home">
<span>blah</span>
<p class="red">first</p>
<p class="red">second</p>
<p class="red">third</p>
<p class="red">fourth</p>
</div>
CodePen link
I think a lot of people have explained already. your code is selecting only first child of the first instance. If you want to select all the first children of red class, you need to use
.home > .red:first-child {
/* put your styling here */
}

Issue with overflow:hidden/visible toggle on hover. Gif available in post

As you can see above, I cannot select the overflowed events on the calendar date. It looks like it's because I have the overflow:hidden/visible toggle triggering on the class of the calendar date: '#cell-shell'.
Here is the HTML code for that specific date:
<td>
<div id="09" class="cell-shell>
<div class="date-num">9</div>
<div class="event-wrap>
<span></span> <!--these hold edit buttons when editor is logged in-->
<span></span>
<div id="e1" class="cell-data">Event 1</div>
</div>
<div class="event-wrap>
<span></span>
<span></span>
<div id="e2" class="cell-data">Event 2</div>
</div>
<div class="event-wrap>
<span></span>
<span></span>
<div id="e3" class="cell-data">Event 3</div>
</div>
<div class="event-wrap>
<span></span>
<span></span>
<div id="e4" class="cell-data">Event 4</div>
</div>
... <!-- pattern repeats-->
</div>
</td>
Here is my current relevant CSS:
.cell-shell {
height: 152px;
width: 152px;
overflow: hidden;
}
.cell-shell:hover {
overflow:visible;
}
.event-wrap {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
font-size: 0;
}
.event-wrap:hover {
opacity: .5;
}
Is there any way through CSS or JS that I can prioritize the '#cell-data' elements? I need to be able to click on those events 6 & 7 and beyond, but once my mouse wanders out of the '9' '.cell-shell' box into the '16' '.cell-shell' box, '16' seems to take over.
EDIT: I added more information as requested by david. I thought it was irrelevant but perhaps not. I added the elements as well as the children below them. I also added in the event-wrap CSS
It looks like it's not because you mouse over 16, but because your mouse went between the event divs, thereby touching the 16 div between the event divs.
See the frame below where you're over an event on top of 16 just before you cross the gap:
The way that hover works is that if the mouse is over any sub-element of the element with hover, that hover CSS will continue to be used. But the moment the mouse leaves the border-box of the sub-element AND is outside of the element with over, the hover CSS will stop working.
I bet that if you're fast and accurate enough, you can get the mouse to clip over the gap between frames and keep it open. But your users might not find that useful. ;P
One method that might fix this would be making sure that the event divs have no space between them. That means no margins separating them.
In order to keep your current visual without having to add too much code, you can do something like the following:
...
<div class="event-wrapper"><div id="e1" class="cell-data">Event 1</div></div>
<div class="event-wrapper"><div id="e2" class="cell-data">Event 2</div></div>
...
...where the event-wrapper class looks like:
.event-wrapper {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
Another method might be having the whole date box expand its size, but that might require some changes to how the layout works in order to keep it from messing things up.
Anyway, I hope that helps.
Use z-index to give priority to your cell-data elements over '16'.
Find a sample demo of it's usage below:
https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_z-index.asp
Add CSS property z-index: -1 into your css.
.cell-shell {
height: 152px;
width: 152px;
overflow: hidden;
z-index: -1 // Here
}
.cell-shell:hover {
overflow:visible;
z-index: -1 //Here
}
Hope it will work for you.

jQuery String selector add string from file

I have a line that creates a simple box like so:
var box = $('<button>').addClass('box');
With using the css:
.box {
border-radius: 0.7vw;
width: 40vw;
height: 50vw;
margin: 30px;
display: inline-block;
background-color: #d87c2d;
}
All fine, I get those boxes, I can even click on them.
But what I really need is generating some usable elements.
For that, I usually like to keep components separate (hope I use the correct terminology), so I made a text file with the following content:
<div>
<div class="tile" id="eventName"> Event name</div><br/>
<div class="tile" id="eventDate">2017.01.01. </div>
<div class="tile" id="eventTime">12.00</div><br/>
<div class="tile" id="description">Some boring example description about the meaningless </div>
</div>
My goal is to put this inside the $(-here-) instead of the simple <button> I have there.
To get that I tried
var box = $('/html/tileInside').addClass('box');
but didn't work, I believe JS thinks I want just the string /html/tileInside there which obviously doesn't mean anything.
So is there a way to add a string from a txt file inside the jQuery string selector?
Use ajax here.
$('<div></div>').load('/html/tileInside');

I'm working on Angular 2 now. In my template I'm using the following to show the data I get from the APIs
<div class="blocks">
<div router-active class="block" *ngFor="let item of items">
<div class="inblock">
<p class="title">{{ item.name }}:</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Everything is working fine but if one of the div height was higher than the others it would look something like the image below
I want to have a nice row with three divs only and after three you start a new block, I know how to do it normally but I can't figure out how to do it with Angular 2!
UPDATE : I don't want a fixed height because the content can be as long as the user wants! so adding a fixed height with CSS will not solve the issue
You will find a solution using css. Take this code:
.block {
float: left;
width: 150px;
margin: 10px;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}
.block:nth-child(3n+4){
border: 1px solid red;
clear: both;
}
The above code is using float to make the blocks inline. Using nth-child you can tell it to clear each 3rd block.
Why don't you create a 'css' associated to your template and pass it to styleUrls property. In that CSS you can defile a class and set the div properties whatever you like and pass that class name to the elements.

Floating repeated divs, how to keep XY together

I am currently creating many figures using the JavaScript library D3 (but I don't think D3 has any relevance for my problem). The figure is placed in div X and the text explaining the figure is in div Y. I basically want to create a pattern like this:
XYXYXY
XYXYXY
but instead (depending on how wide my window since I do not want to fix the width), what I get this:
XYXYX
YXYXY
I tried putting XY in a parent div Z<XY>, so that every pair of XY stays together, but that does not work. I also don't think clearing is necessarily the answer here, but I have tried all combinations without success.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Try
white-space: nowrap
You may also have to change the floats to for your XY divs:
display: inline-block
If I understood the problem correctly, you don't need to use float. Display the divs as inline blocks: display: inline-block.
That will flow the divs as "character blocks" doing the wrap, you'll need to have a parent for the XY to keep the text together with the image.
An example: http://jsfiddle.net/D9BAv/
HTML:
<div class="figure">
<div class="picture"></div>
<div class="text">Example 1</div>
</div><!-- reapeated ... -->
CSS:
.figure {
display: inline-block;
}
.picture {
width: 3rem;
height: 3rem;
margin:auto;
background-color: blue;
}
If I have understood you correctly, maybe this will work. You could also use display: inline-block instead of float: left if you don't need to support IE8 and below.

HTML
<div class="cont">
<div class="x">X</div><div class="y">Y</div>
</div><div class="cont">
<div class="x">X</div><div class="y">Y</div>
</div><div class="cont">
<div class="x">X</div><div class="y">Y</div>
</div><div class="cont">
<div class="x">X</div><div class="y">Y</div>
</div><div class="cont">
<div class="x">X</div><div class="y">Y</div>
</div>
<div class="cont">
<div class="x">X</div><div class="y">Y</div>
</div>
CSS
.cont {
width: 100px;
float: left;
}
.x, .y {
width: 50%;
float: left;
}
.x {
background: #ccc;
}
.y {
background: #ecc;
}
Ok, I solved the problem. So I was wrong, it did have something to do with D3. Each time, I was essentially adding a child div to the same parent, and therefore the inline-block simply had no effect.
I ended up adding a "last-child" feature in my code like "d3.select(".figure:last-child").append(...", for both the picture and the text, and it works perfectly.
I saw the problem by adding a border around the parent div, and I noticed that all children were in the same div. I then found the solution from: What is the equivalent of jQuery's $(".cell:first") in D3?
