Can anyone help me understand what is happening with this small piece of HTML code?
When viewed on various browsers such as FF4, Chrome10, IE9, IE8, Opera 11, the layout of the element appears like this:
Hmm, why is this happening? Why aren't the height and width matching the visible box (orange + red spaces)?
Even after adding "display:inline-block;" to the element, the issue doesn't seem to be resolved. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
- Styling the hover color of a button
Here are some styles you can experiment with:
a.button {
display: block;
float: left;
overflow: auto;
}
a.button span {
display: block;
float: left;
}
A unique suggestion I have involves eliminating the use of spans.
html:
<a class="button2" href="#">Text Text Text</a>
css:
/* Button 2 */
.button2 {
background-color:red;
border:solid 10px orange;
border-top:0;
border-bottom:0;
display:inline-block;
color:#fff;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
line-height:30px;
text-decoration:none;
padding:0 3px;
}
old (top) new (bottom)
After experimenting, I was able to achieve the desired result without using float:left. Below is the complete CSS code:
a.button{
display: inline-block; /* <- included */
text-decoration: none;
}
a.button span{
display: inline-block;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px; /* <- included */
text-decoration: none;
}
a.button .left, a.button .right{
background-color: orange;
width: 10px;
}
a.button .text{
background-color: red;
color: white;
}
The solution lied within the line-height property.
