Simply put the question is - is there a way to align link text within an action link vertically?
I need to make a button-looking Html.ActionLink control.
There is a reasonably good example at Html.ActionLink as a button or an image, not a link
I have implemented this approach, however, I need not just an "image" button,
but an image button with a text shown on it, and this text depends on view model's state, so that I cannot simply put it on an image.
Here is what I have (Razor):
#Html.ActionLink(#commitee.Name, "CommiteePage", "SecureFolder",
new { commiteeName = commitee.Name, page = 1 },
new { #class = "commiteeButton" })
and CSS:
a.commiteeButton {
background: transparent url("../Images/BlueButton.png") no-repeat top left;
display: block;
width: 304px;
height: 50px;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
font: normal 14px Arial;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
The result is OK, but: the text of a link is located on the top of an image, and not in its middle (vertically).
I do not know how to center link text vertically, so that it can be located right in the center of an image.
Of course, there can be another approach (see below) but maybe it is still possible with approach mentioned above?
<a class="nonunderlinedlink" href="#Url.Action("CommiteePage", "SecureFolder", new { commiteeName=commitee.Name, page = 1 }, null)">
<div class="commiteeButton">
<p class="pstyle">#commitee.Name</p>
</div>
</a>
Try the following changes in your css
a.commiteeButton {
background: transparent url("../Images/BlueButton.png") no-repeat top left;
display: block;
width: 304px;
height: 50px;
color: white;
text-decoration: none;
font: normal 14px Arial;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: 10px;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
Rex (see comments to my question above) suggested putting padding-top to CSS, that has resolved issue without causing collateral layout problems.
Thank you all for your quick reply!
I know it's a bit late but you could also use line-height: 50px; to center your text vertically

I can't find a way to do this
There seems to be padding placed above and below the element, although I have set it zero
https://plnkr.co/edit/WvEqNCxEcLY5yS1IT738?p=preview
<div>
<button>hello</button>
</div>
<table><tr><td>
<button>hiya</button>
</td></tr></table>
td,
div{
padding: 0;
height: 10em;
border: solid;
}
button {
height: 100%;
width:100%;
border:solid 10px #f00;
}
I don't want to use absolute position as the contents vary, and JS would be an overhead I couldn't live with!
Is there a known bug here? Would anyone have a link to it so I can watch it not get fixed for years and drives me to a stress related end
Thanks in advance

Thebutton, input, textarea, img, video, audio etc. are REPLACED ELEMENTS. The positioning rules for them are other than for standard elements. You can try to enclose replaced elements into a span or div.
Add <div/> inside <td/> and put <button/> into <div/> it will work properly. Add styles to new <div/> element and use:
button
{
height: 100%;
width:100%;
padding:0;
margin:0;
}
<table><tr><td><div class="replaced-element-container"><button>hiya</button></div></td></tr></table>
Well, this is embarrassing but it meets W3C requirements.
For one table cell in the row:
td, div
{
padding: 0;
height: 10em;
border: solid;
display:block;
}
button
{
height: 100%;
width:100%;
border:solid 10px #f00;
}
But it doesn't resolve problem that button is replaced element. It is still in container made from <td/> element.
This has been bothering me. Although I've resolved my problem using padding for the container to create the desired height of the container, I'm still puzzled on why this happens.
I have a container with two child elements inside, like so:
<div class="container">
<img src="http://placehold.it/30x30" id="first-item"/>
<img src="http://placehold.it/50x50" id="second-item"/>
</div>
I vertical align the children to the container using the below:
#first-item, #second-item {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
However, if a fixed height is set for the container, the vertical alignment breaks.
Why is this so?

It will work if you add a line-height property with an identical value to the height:
.container {
background-color: #EADDBB;
height: 100px;
line-height: 100px;
width: 100%;
padding: 20px 20px;
}
#first-item, #second-item {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}

I am using zurb foundation framework, I would like to change the triangle image of the drop down on the top-bar nav menu to a cog. How can this be done?
Are you using the vanilla CSS and JS, or the foundation gem? Assuming it's the gem go into foundation_and_overrides.scss and Remove the triangle using:
$topbar-arrows: false; //Set false to remove the triangle icon from the menu item
Then you can add custom css to put a cog there instead. Below is the original css for the triangle, which was creating using a very small inset border, if you want to make sure you're matching the proper margins etc,
.top-bar-section .has-dropdown > a:after {
content: "";
display: block;
width: 0;
height: 0;
border: inset 5px;
border-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.4) transparent transparent transparent;
border-top-style: solid;
margin-top: -2.5px;
top: 22.5px; }
Edit Here is some CSS which gets nearly there, except margin-right being overridden by some of foundation's css... Should help though
.top-bar-section .has-dropdown > a:after {
content: "";
display: block;
width: 15px;
height: 15px;
margin-right: 0px;
background-image:url('https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/imod/512/Hardware/pignon.png');
background-size:15px 15px;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:center;
}
I'm using a speech bubble style tooltip based on the jquery ui tooltip widget 'Custom Styling' demo, but I'm having trouble properly displaying the arrow when I need it on the left side of the tooltip instead of on the top or bottom.
Can someone help me fix this code (it cuts off the tip and displays too large a section of the arrow)?
<style type="text/css">
.ui-tooltip.menu_info {
max-width: 200px;
}
* html .ui-tooltip {
background-image: none;
}
body .ui-tooltip { border-width: 1px; }
.ui-tooltip, .arrow:after, .arrow_left_side:after {
background: white;
border: 1px solid #999;
}
.ui-tooltip {
padding: 10px 12px;
color: Black;
font: 8pt "Helvetica Neue", Sans-Serif;
max-width: 150px;
border: 1px solid #999;
position: absolute;
}
.arrow_left_side {
height: 70px;
width: 8px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
margin-top: 5px;
left: -8px;
}
.arrow_left_side:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 25px; height: 25px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
-moz-transform: rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform: rotate(45deg);
-o-transform: rotate(45deg);
tranform: rotate(45deg);
}
</style>
<script>
$(function() {
$('.menu_info').tooltip({
position: {
my: "left+20 center",
at: "right center",
using: function (position, feedback) {
$(this).css(position);
$("<div>")
.addClass("arrow_left_side")
.addClass(feedback.vertical)
.addClass(feedback.horizontal)
.appendTo(this);
}
}
});
});
</script>
Problem Description
The problem is caused by a combination of the CSS transformation and the overflow:hidden. The arrow is actually a square with width and height that is rotated 45o. The default origin point for the rotation is 50% 50% or center center which results in the "arrow" square being rotated around the middle which results in the edges being clipped by the overflow property.
It's best shown as an image or a demo (Webkit only), but the code used to demonstrate the problem is also below.
The 1st box shows the starting position of the "arrow" square, the 2nd box shows a small rotation around the center point. You can see that the edge is clipped already by the containing block's overflow:hidden. The 3rd shows a 45o rotation which demonstrates the problem you have. The 4th adds CSS to move the origin point to 0 25px, that is x=0, y=25px which is the bottom left corner, so you can see a small rotation around this point is looking better. The 5th pane shows a full 45o rotation around the modified origin. This looks much better and all that is left to do is reduce the width of the container to clip off the right hand side which leaves a left facing arrow. Then some simple CSS positioning to move it into place next to the tooltip content.
Solution
The modification needed to your CSS are small positioning changes on the container and the addition of an origin point for the rotation. I realise in the above description that I said an origin of 0 25px but in practice the arrow was still being clipped on the left side so I moved the origin out to 5px 25px instead.
.arrow_left_side {
margin-top: -5px;
left: -10px;
}
.arrow_left_side:after {
-webkit-transform-origin: 5px 25px;
/* for brevity, I have not added all the different browser prefix versions of transform-origin. If you need cross browser support, you will need to add these here */
}
See demo of the above changes
Demo Code
For completeness, here is the code to generate the above image. It's useful to interact with the demo by changing the rotation in the Chrome DevTools to see the square rotating in real time.
HTML
<div class="original"></div>
<div class="original-rotated-a-little"></div>
<div class="original-rotated-forty-five"></div>
<div class="original-with-transform-origin-rotated-a-little"></div>
<div class="original-with-transform-origin-rotated-forty-five"></div>
CSS
body {
margin-left:50px
}
div {
position:relative;
height: 50px;
width: 35px;
overflow: hidden;
top: 0px;
margin-top: 5px;
left: -8px;
border:1px dashed red;
}
div:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
border: 1px solid #999;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
}
div.original-rotated-a-little:after {
-webkit-transform: rotate(15deg);
}
div.original-rotated-forty-five:after {
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
}
div.original-with-transform-origin-rotated-a-little:after {
-webkit-transform-origin: 5px 25px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(15deg);
}
div.original-with-transform-origin-rotated-forty-five:after {
-webkit-transform-origin: 5px 25px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(45deg);
}
Hope this helps :-)
I've been following along with the examples in the book in making a online catalog and am having a couple of discouraging difficulties in Chapter 8 task C: Catalog display.
I have input the code for the stylesheets as instructed but it has created a slightly skewed result as compared to what is shown in the book. Whilst minor and aesthetic in nature its a little shock to my confidence and slightly irritating when trying to carry on through the book.
As you can see the border seems a little confused and the image at the top is covering the header text.
I've been through the code time and time again but can't seem find out where I've gone wrong. Could anybody give me some clues?
Code from application.css.scss (I'm assuming its here)
#banner {
background: #9c9;
padding: 10px;
border-bottom: 2px solid;
font: small-caps 40px/40px "Times New Roman", serif;
color: #282;
text-align: center;
img {
float: left;
}
}
#notice {
color: #000 !important;
border: 2px solid red;
padding: 1em;
margin-bottom: 2em;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
font: bold smaller sans-serif;
}
#columns {
background: #141;
#main {
margin-left: 17em;
padding: 1em;
background: white;
}
#side {
float: left;
padding: 1em 2em;
width: 13em;
background: #141;
ul {
padding: 0;
li {
list-style: none;
a {
colour: #bfb;
font-size: small;
}
}
}
}
The only thing that gives me a hint is in sublime text 2 all beginning with a hash (#banner, #notice etc) are green, but #main is not for some reason?
Same happens to me. I am not sure what to make of this problem as the #banner.img should float left. When examining the compiled application.css, I find the following:
#banner {
background: #9c9;
padding: 10px;
border-bottom: 2px solid;
font: small-caps 40px/40px "Times New Roman", serif;
color: #282;
text-align: center; }
#banner img {
float: left; }
As shown above, we have a "#banner img {" starting block which is properly closed, and the #banner block is correctly closed just before that on the same line as 'text-align: center;'. Even if I eliminate all other css elements after the #banner and #banner img blocks, the problem persists.
With my limited CSS knowledge, the only semblance of correct positioning I could quickly figure out was to remove the text-align: center from the #banner block, and add some padding, or alternatively, set the left-margin of the #banner.img to -400px or something. It's not very elegant nor perfectly functional (resizing screws it all up).
