Changing contents of <span> is affecting placement of other elements in line [duplicate]

When two inline-block divs have different heights, why does the shorter of the two not align to the top of the container? (DEMO):
.container {
border: 1px black solid;
width: 320px;
height: 120px;
}
.small {
display: inline-block;
width: 40%;
height: 30%;
border: 1px black solid;
background: aliceblue;
}
.big {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px black solid;
width: 40%;
height: 50%;
background: beige;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="small"></div>
<div class="big"></div>
</div>
How can I align the small div at the top of its container?

Because the vertical-align is set at baseline as default.
Use vertical-align:top instead:
.small{
display: inline-block;
width: 40%;
height: 30%;
border: 1px black solid;
background: aliceblue;
vertical-align:top; /* <---- this */
}
http://jsfiddle.net/Lighty_46/RHM5L/9/
Or as #f00644 said you could apply float to the child elements as well.

You need to add a vertical-align property to your two child div's.
If .small is always shorter, you need only apply the property to .small.
However, if either could be tallest then you should apply the property to both .small and .big.
.container{
border: 1px black solid;
width: 320px;
height: 120px;
}
.small{
display: inline-block;
width: 40%;
height: 30%;
border: 1px black solid;
background: aliceblue;
vertical-align: top;
}
.big {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px black solid;
width: 40%;
height: 50%;
background: beige;
vertical-align: top;
}
Vertical align affects inline or table-cell box's, and there are a large nubmer of different values for this property. Please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/vertical-align for more details.

Use display: flex property for the parent div
The flexbox items are aligned at the start of the cross-axis.
By default, the cross-axis is vertical. This means the flexbox items will be aligned vertically at the top.
So when you apply the display: flex property to the parent div, it sets its child elements with vertical-align: top.
See the following code:
.container {
border: 1px black solid;
width: 320px;
height: 120px;
display: flex;
/** CSS flex */
}
.small {
display: inline-block;
width: 40%;
height: 30%;
border: 1px black solid;
background: aliceblue;
}
.big {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px black solid;
width: 40%;
height: 50%;
background: beige;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="small"></div>
<div class="big"></div>
</div>
Browser Compatibility: Flexbox is very well supported across modern browsers.

<style type="text/css">
div {
text-align: center;
}
.img1{
width: 150px;
height: 150px;
border-radius: 50%;
}
span{
display: block;
}
</style>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div>
<input type='password' class='secondInput mt-4 mr-1' placeholder="Password">
<span class='dif'></span>
<br>
<button>ADD</button>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('button').click(function() {
$('.dif').html("<img/>");
})

Add overflow: auto to the container div.

Inherit padding width without position absolute? Is it possible?

Not sure, but I am currently not able to figure out. I'm trying to center the inner div (blue transparent one) from the parent (with the red background) inside the background. As an example, they're technically in each other perfectly at the first example in the snippet.
At the second example however I've added padding: 5px; to both of them to the red and blue one. To the blue one because I wanted to inherit the width some how.
https://jsfiddle.net/L8enbcy3/
.box-1-1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box-1-2 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
position: relative;
}
.box1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
padding: 5px;
}
<div class="box-1-1">
<div class="box-1-2"></div>
</div>
<pre>
</pre>
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>
What I'm trying is to get "box2" centered into "box1" like example 1 but with its padding, so that's covered by blue. without having to position: absolute it, if possible. What I'm thinking I have to do is to create and invisibile box absolute it, "center it with top: 0 and left: 0 when the parent has position: relative. Then as I mentioned with it being absolute it would go to the corners of the parents padding too and then in the absolute box, I would create a relative one with display: table and put in all the content.
My question now though is, is there another way to do that?

Solution 1: transform: translate()
You could use transform: translate() with variables to achieve what you want, without weird margins (next solution). Here's some MDN about translate().
:root {
--padding: 5px;
}
.box1 {
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
background-color: red;
padding: var(--padding);
}
.box2 {
height: calc(50px + var(--padding)*2);
width: calc(50px + var(--padding)*2);
background-color: #0000ffb0;
transform: translate(calc(0px - var(--padding)), calc(0px - var(--padding)))
}
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>
As you can see, the box is brought up and left with translate, and the height is lengthened by adding the needed padding to it. Thisachieves the desired cover effect.
Solution 2: Positive padding, negative margin
You could also use positive paddings and negative margins. Info below code snippet.
:root {
--padding: 5px;
}
.box1 {
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
background-color: red;
padding: var(--padding);
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2 {
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
background-color: #0000ffb0;
padding: var(--padding);
margin: calc(0px - var(--padding));
}
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>
What's happening here is following the CSS box model, found on MDN and w3schools. We're simply pushing out with margin and sucking in with padding.
Then, as per request in the comments, --padding is a CSS variable that stores the amount of padding that you want.
Hope I helped!
Cheers, Bobbay

You can add a negative margin if you insist on keeping the padding in place.
.box-1-1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box-1-2 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
position: relative;
}
.box1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
padding: 5px;
margin: -5px;
}
<div class="box-1-1">
<div class="box-1-2"></div>
</div>
<pre>
</pre>
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>

To center box2 within box1 without absolute position, you can use following css:
.box1 {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}

Edit: example 2 illustrate your need. just remove padding from both boxes and settop: 0; and 'left: 0' with position: relative on box 2. I hope this is the required solution
to center box 2 you need to make its dimension less than box 1. consider the extra pixels added with padding. so the inner box width and height should be 10px less than the outer box.
Example:
.box1 {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2 {
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
background: #0000ffb0;
padding: 5px;
}
.box1-1 {
border: 2px solid yellow;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: red;
position: relative;
display: block;
}
.box2-2 {
position:relative;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #0000ffb0;
}
<div class="box1">
<div class="box2"></div>
</div>
<br>
<div class="box1-1">
<div class="box2-2"></div>
</div>

Inline divs are not lining up in a row

It's my understanding that simply adding display:inline to divs with a relative position will line them up (left to right), somewhat like float:left. I've tried both approaches but they haven't worked.
Below is an example of my last attempt, using inline displaying. I want all three segments to line up from left to right, but they're displaying just like unstyled divs.
function showProfile() {
var profile = document.getElementById('userprofile');
profile.style.opacity = 0.8;
var profileImage = document.getElementById('userimage');
profileImage.style.opacity = 0.8;
}
.profile {
top: 68px;
background-color: #424755;
color: #dddddd;
width: 100%;
min-height: 50px;
opacity: 0;
position: fixed;
font: 16px"Tahoma";
}
.miniProfileImage {
opacity: 0;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}
.miniBioSegment {
display: inline;
margin-right: 5px;
width: 33%;
}
<div class="profile" id="userprofile">
<div class="miniBioSegment">
<img class="miniProfileImage" id="userimage" src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/000088/ffffff.png&text=Profile+image">
</div>
<div id="miniBio" class="miniBioSegment">
This is basic information about this person that you clicked.
</div>
<div id="miniQuote" class="miniBioSegment">
This is a tag line from the person that you clicked.
</div>
</div>
<button onclick="showProfile()">View Profile</button>

You should use inline-block instead of inline for more control. I used a width of 33%-2px because the browser rounds the div's size up therefore leading to overflowing. Your 5px margins weren't helping with the sum either.
function showProfile() {
var profile = document.getElementById('userprofile');
profile.style.opacity = 0.8;
var profileImage = document.getElementById('userimage');
profileImage.style.opacity = 0.8;
}
.profile {
top: 68px;
background-color: #424755;
color: #dddddd;
width: 100%;
min-height: 50px;
opacity: 0;
position: fixed;
font: 16px"Tahoma";
}
.miniProfileImage {
opacity: 0;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display:inline-block;
}
.miniBioSegment{
display: inline-block;
width: calc(33% - 2px);
vertical-align:middle;
}
<div class="profile" id="userprofile">
<div class="miniBioSegment">
<img class="miniProfileImage" id="userimage" src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/000088/ffffff.png&text=Profile+image">
</div>
<div id="miniBio" class="miniBioSegment">
This is basic information about this person that you clicked.
</div>
<div id="miniQuote" class="miniBioSegment">
This is a tag line from the person that you clicked.
</div>
</div>
<button onclick="showProfile()">View Profile</button>

CSS should target the ID's and use float:left. See example
.profile {
top: 68px;
background-color: #424755;
color: #dddddd;
width: 100%;
min-height: 50px;
position: fixed;
font: 16px"Tahoma";
}
.miniProfileImage {
float:left;
max-width: 33%;
height: 100px;
}
#miniBio {
float:left;
margin-right: 5px;
width: 33%;
}
#miniQuote {
float:left;
margin-right: 5px;
width: 33%;
}
<div class="profile" id="userprofile">
<div class="miniBioSegment">
<img class="miniProfileImage" id="userimage" src="http://dummyimage.com/100x100/000088/ffffff.png&text=Profile+image">
</div>
<div id="miniBio" class="miniBioSegment">
This is basic information about this person that you clicked.
</div>
<div id="miniQuote" class="miniBioSegment">
This is a tag line from the person that you clicked.
</div>
</div>

I'm asking myself, why do you have position:absolute;?
To make it work, I have just added display: flex; justify-content: space-between; to the .profileclass.
Remove the position, and try adding the last two lines.
See example here: http://sandbox.clickadelic.de/demos/lineup.html

With the divs set to display: inline; they will only line up horizontally if the total length of the divs does not exceed the container's width.
And width, height of inline elements is ignored, you should use display: inline-block; instead. The wrapping behavior is the same as above.
Also browser renders whitespace among inline* elements, which is about 4px, see How to remove the space between inline-block elements? for more details.
In your example, there are 3 divs, if you want them to be equal width, you can do:
.profile {
font-size: 0; /*remove whitespace*/
background: silver;
}
.miniBioSegment {
font-size: 16px; /*reset font-size*/
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top; /*vertical alignment*/
width: 33.3333%;
}
However, the image object in the first div is set to 100px, I think you would prefer that div to be the same width too, and each one takes 50% of the rest space for other two divs. Examples:
1. Inline block
jsFiddle
.profile {
font-size: 0;
background: silver;
}
.miniBioSegment {
font-size: 16px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
border: 1px dotted red;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100px;
}
#miniBio, #miniQuote {
width: calc((100% - 100px) / 2);
}
.miniProfileImage {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display: block;
}
2. Float
jsFiddle
.profile {
background: silver;
}
.profile:after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}
.miniBioSegment {
float: left;
border: 1px dotted red;
box-sizing: border-box;
width: 100px;
}
#miniBio, #miniQuote {
width: calc((100% - 100px) / 2);
}
.miniProfileImage {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display: block;
}
3. CSS table
jsFiddle
.profile {
background: silver;
display: table;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
.miniBioSegment {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: top;
border: 1px dotted red;
}
#miniBio, #miniQuote {
width: 50%;
}
.miniProfileImage {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display: block;
}
4. Flexbox
jsFiddle
.profile {
background: silver;
display: flex;
}
.miniBioSegment {
border: 1px dotted red;
}
#miniBio, #miniQuote {
flex: 1;
}
.miniProfileImage {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display: block;
}

Positioning a div at specific fixed place irrespective of zoom and scroll

I have a header with fixed position and inside header I have navigation links but when I zoom into browser links are thrown out of window to right. How can I make the navigation links fixed to 50px right no matter I zoom in or out.
jsfiddle here I don't want to change properties of header.
.header {
width: 100%;
min-width: 500px;
position: fixed;
background: red;
height: 60px;
}
.navlinks {
float: right;
margin-right: 50px;
width: 30px;
margin-top: 4px;
height: 20px;
background: black;
}
<div class="header">hello
<div class='navlinks'></div>
</div>

You've already set the fixed position header to width:100% so the min-width:500px is unnecessary.
Remove that and the issue is solved.
.header {
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
background: red;
height: 60px;
}
.navlinks {
float: right;
margin-right: 50px;
width: 30px;
margin-top: 4px;
height: 20px;
background: black;
}
<div class="header">hello
<div class='navlinks'></div>
</div>
JSfiddle Demo

css 100 height with borders

I am writing a card list in using html/css/javascript.
Here are the two sample implementation:
http://jsfiddle.net/235Tp/
#wrapper {
background: #EEE;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#cards-div {
background: green;
width: 100%;
height: 70%;
overflow-y:auto;
}
#cards-list {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
#cards-list li {
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
width: 20%;
float: left;
background: #EEE;
margin-left: -14%;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
#cards-list li:first-child {
margin-left: 0;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/scctk/
You can see that one has borders while another has not.
The one with borders has a y-asix scrolling bar that I do not want to include.
How to remove that?

Just simply change overflow-y:auto to overflow-y:hidden; as shown:
#cards-div {
background: green;
width: 100%;
height: 70%;
overflow-y:hidden;
}
Here is the DEMO

Use box-sizing: border-box (and -moz-box-sizing) to have the border included in the width/height calculation of the box model.
