The stubborn HTML formatting that refuses to cooperate

Struggling with simple HTML formatting that just doesn't seem to be coming out right.

Here is the code snippet in question:

<div class="fc-event-time" data-hasqtip="true" aria-describedby="qtip-6">
  2:54 - 6:54
<i class="icos-refresh" style="float: right; margin-top: -17px; margin-right: 2px"></i>
<i class="icos-acces-denied-sign" style="float: right; margin-top: -17px; margin-right: 2px"></i>
</div>

Firebug shows that the following CSS classes are affecting it:

padding-left: 5px;
white-space: nowrap;
font-weight: 500;font-size: 12px !important;
padding: 0px 1px;
color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important;
cursor: pointer;
direction: ltr;
text-align: left
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
line-height: 18px;

Currently, the rendering looks like this:

As seen above, the two icons are stacked on top of each other. My goal is to have them display side by side instead. I initially tried adding display:block; but that did not solve the issue. How can I get them to align next to each other rather than overlapping?

UPDATE:

After removing the margin-top: -17px;, the layout changes, but I still need the text and icons to be on the same line.

UPDATE 2:

I finally identified and resolved the problem—it was due to the plain text "2:54 - 6:54" preventing the <i> elements from appearing on the same row. By modifying the Full Calendar source to enclose the time within a <span> with a float: left style attribute, everything is now aligned properly. Thank you for all your assistance. If an alternative solution is provided (one that does not require modifying the JavaScript), I will acknowledge it as a better approach.

Answer №1

It appears that the lack of defined widths for your i icons and the negative margin-tops may be causing alignment issues with the floats. Setting specific widths for your i elements should resolve this issue, based on my observations.

If adjusting the widths does not solve the problem, there could be some absolute positioning at play. If absolute positioning is being used on the i elements, it would need to be removed in order for proper alignment to occur.

Without visibility of the styles applied to the i elements, determining the exact cause is challenging.

Update

I see now that the negative top margin was indeed the source of the problem. To align your text and icons on the same line, you can wrap the text in a span and give it a float:left style.

<span style="display: block; float:left;">2:54 - 6:54</span>
<i class="icos-refresh" style="float: right; margin-right: 2px"></i>
<i class="icos-acces-denied-sign" style="float: right; margin-right: 2px"></i>

It is advisable to avoid inline styles and instead use dedicated CSS classes for these styling elements.
