Does anyone have a suggestion for creating paragraph-type line spaces within a <li> tag that includes a hovered pop-up pseudo-class?
I have a <span> that pops up on a:hover and I want the text that pops up to be broken into 2 paragraphs. It works with <br> in FF but I want to do the right thing (now that I've discovered it's wrong!)...
html:
<div id="rightlist">
<ul>
<li><a href="">List item
<span>
words words words that are "paragraph" 1 of List item
<br><br>
different words that make up "paragraph" 2 of List item
</span></a></li>
css:
#rightlist {
margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 5px; width: 387px ; height: 239px ;
background-color: #7EBB11 ;
display: table-cell;
z-index: 100 ;
float: right ;
}
#rightlist ul {
text-align: left;
margin: 0;
margin-top: 6px;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 20px ;
color: black ;
}
#rightlist a
{
display: table-cell;
text-decoration: none; color: black;
background: #7EBB11 ;
}
/*appearance of the <a> item (but before the <span> tag) on hover*/
#rightlist a:hover {
color: white;
}
/*appearance of the spanned content within <a></a> tags when not hovered */
/* %%%%% important - keep position:absolute in this div %%%%% */
#rightlist a span {
display: none;
position: absolute ;
margin-left: -412px;
top: -10px; left: 10px; padding: 10px ;
z-index: 100;
width: 380px; height: 222px;
color: white; background-color: #7EBB11;
font: 0.75em Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px ; color: black;
text-align: left;
}
/*appearance of spanned content within <a> tags when hovered*/
#rightlist a:hover span {
display: table-cell ;
}
Err there's nothing wrong with having <br> inside <a> or <span>. It's perfectly valid according to the HTML 4.01 spec.
Edit: <li> can contain <p>, <br>, and pretty much anything else.
The spec is a bit hard to read but basically says:
LI can contain block or inline
block is made of P + some other things
inline is made of special + some other things
special is made of A + BR + some other things
Regarding <a> it says:
A can contain inline except A
inline... see above
Your problem may arise from the fact that you're using a <span> tag incorrectly.
Spans are supposed to be inline elements and you're styling it as though it were a block element. Admittedly you can force a span to behave as a block element by adding the right style, but this may not always be honoured by the various browsers out there.
Ideally you should be using a div instead. You can then use either p tags or further div tags to indicate the paragraphs (ideally p, since semantically they actually are paragraphs rather than unrelated blocks of text).
You could stick another span in there as a "fake" p tag:
<li><a href="">List item
<span>
<span>words words words that are "paragraph" 1 of List item</span>
<span>different words that make up "paragraph" 2 of List item</span>
</span></a></li>
And in your css:
#rightlist span span {display:block;margin:...}
Note anything you declare for #rightlist span will apply to #rightlist span span, so you might need to override some of the rules in #rightlist span span.
Why is it 'Wrong'?
your br tag should perhaps be coded as:
<br />
Why is your current way wrong ?
You can try this
<span>
<p>words words words that are "paragraph" 1 of List item</p>
<p>different words that make up "paragraph" 2 of List item</p>
</span>

Hi I have the following foundation codepen:

code:
$(document).ready(function () {

});
body {
background-color: #a3d5d3;

On a large screen it works ok -- I want the text overplayed on the image over to the right - but if you shrink the screen down the text starts to disappear off to the right -- anyone any ideas how to keep it consistent on all screens???
thanks
It's better to position using the left: position as opposed to margin. You might also want to delete the height property so it accomodates more content.
#text {
padding-top: 2em; /*replaces the <br>s in your html*/
color: #ffffff;
position: absolute;
width: 250px;
/*height: 60%;*/
top: 0;
right:7.5%; /* instead of margin*/
background: black;
opacity: 0.5;
padding: 20px;
}
I made a codepen demo:
https://codepen.io/kemie/pen/pPoqOv
I am trying to create two divs using foundation.
I used this code:
<div id=”containerLeftWrap” class=”small-4 small-centered medium-offset-2 medium-2 medium-uncentered columns” >
…content…
</div>
<div id="containerRight" class="medium-7 columns">
<div id="aboutArea">
…content…
</div>
</div>
In small size it looks fine
but in the medium and large size it looks like this
instead of like this
I've tried to add:
style=”display:inline-block; vertical-align:top”
But then the first div (the smaller one) was stuck to the left side, in all sizes, like this:
Does someone have an idea how to solve this?
Thank you!!!!
Update:
I have this css:
#containerLeftWrap {
background-color: #262626;
height: 256px;
min-width: 245px;
padding-top: 28px;
border-radius: 7px;
margin-top: 60px;
}
#aboutArea {
width: 90%;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #262626;
border-radius: 7px;
padding-bottom: 15px;
}
I have:
<style>
.parent{
display: flex;
flex-flow: row wrap;
}
.c1{
flex: 1 100%;
background: green;
}
.c2{
flex: 1;
background: red;
}
.c3{
flex: 4;
background: cyan;
}
</style>
<div class="parent">
<div class="c1">100% width</div>
<div class="c2">This text is big and long, and pushes the other div towards the bottom of the page and blabla.</div>
<div class="c3">This should not grow.</div>
</div>
And I wonder if it is posible to have the cyan div not to have 100%. A fixed size doesn't look right because I want it to grow with the flow of text in diferent window sizes.
Just add:
align-items: flex-start;
to the parent div. This makes the children align top and have diferent sizes. Strangely, the default valu for align-items is stretch.
Hi I want to have a dropdown list in my django form with a checkbox in front of every option in the drop down. I have tried using multiple choice field with selectmultiple widget but this displays every option with checkboxes on the page. They are not contained inside the drop down. is there a way to contain them inside the dropdown?
I see that you asked this four years ago so I doubt you are still looking for an answer, but I might as well provide in case someone else finds it!
Basically you want to make a div with an unordered list inside of it, where each item in that list contains a checkbox input.
Then, you use jQuery so that when you click on the div, it gets assigned the 'selected' class in its html.
Then you make your CSS so that the dropdown menu itself only shows up when it has the 'selected' class.
The JSFiddle is here (minus the django templating, obviously):
https://jsfiddle.net/lymanjohnson/2L71nhko/15/
And code is below:
HTML (django template):
<fieldset class="item toggle-item">
<div class="legend-container">
<legend>Choices</legend>
</div>
<ul class="scrollable-dropdown-list">
{% for choice in choices %}
<li>
<input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input filter" id="choice_{{forloop.counter}}" name="choice" value="{{choice}}">
<label for="choice_{{forloop.counter}}"class="custom-control-label">{{choice}}</label>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</fieldset>
JQUERY:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
// Listener for when you click on the dropdown menu
$('fieldset.toggle-item > .legend-container').on('click', (event) => {
// Adds or removes the 'selected' attribute on the dropdown menu you clicked
$(event.currentTarget).parent().toggleClass('selected')
// If you have multiple dropdown menus you may want it so that when you open Menu B, Menu A
// automatically closes.
// This line does that by removing 'selected' from every dropdown menu other than the one you clicked on.
// It's 'optional' but it definitely feels better if you have it
$('fieldset.toggle-item').not($(event.currentTarget).parent()).removeClass('selected')
})
// The user is probably going to expect that any and all dropdown menus will close if they click outside of them. Here's how to make that happen:
//This listens for whenever you let go of the mouse
$(document).mouseup(function(e)
{
// make this a variable just to make the next line a little easier to read
// a 'container' is now any
var dropdown_menus = $("fieldset.toggle-item");
// if the target of the click isn't a dropdown menu OR any of the elements inside one of them
if (!dropdown_menus.is(e.target) && dropdown_menus.has(e.target).length === 0)
{
// then it will de-select (thereby closing) all the dropdown menus on the page
$('fieldset.toggle-item').removeClass('selected')
}
});
})
</script>
CSS:
<style>
.item {
width: 33%;
margin: 2px 1% 2px 1%;
border: 0;
}
.item li {
list-style: none;
}

/* Note that all the browser-specific animation stuff is totally optional, but provides a nice subtle animation for the dropdown effect */
fieldset ul.scrollable-dropdown-list {
display: none;

-moz-animation: slide-down .3s ease-out;
}
fieldset.selected ul.scrollable-dropdown-list {

}
#-webkit-keyframes slide-down {
0% {
opacity: 0;
-webkit-transform: translateY(-10%);
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
-webkit-transform: translateY(0);
}
}
#-moz-keyframes slide-down {

opacity: 0;
-moz-transform: translateY(-10%);
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
-moz-transform: translateY(0);
}
}

Dropdowns and checkboxes are HTML elements that are rendered by the browser using its built-in components. Those components don't have any support for combining them: in pure HTML, you simply can't combine a select with a check box.
The only way to do this would be to use components rendered purely in Javascript. Google's Closure UI tools is one set of controls I've used, but only because I used to work at Google: something like jQuery UI might have a version that's easier to use.

This CSS might help you.
Add an attribute to li. Just add overflow:hidden. And reduce the width of the event_name class. Thats all :)
ol { width: 83%; margin:0; }
li { line-height: 1.2; margin: 0; padding: 5px; list-style-type: none; background: #d4481b; border:1px solid ; color: #ccc; overflow:hidden}
a { text-decoration: none; line-height:1.2}
.event-time { width: 20%; float: left; display:inline}
.event-name { width: 70%; float: left; display:inline}
