I need to adjust the dimensions of an empty element on my webpage.
For a visual representation, you can view this jsfiddle link: http://jsfiddle.net/tzxv5zb3/
Currently, I have attempted to set the width and height using inline styling, like so:
<span id="element-b" style="width: 100px; height: 20px; background-color: #555;"> </span>
However, these adjustments are not being applied.
What is the proper method to give dimension properties to my empty element (#element-b)?
By default, spans are inline elements that cannot be easily manipulated in terms of dimensions. To change this behavior, you can use the following approach:
<span id="custom-element" style="display: inline-block; width: 120px; height: 30px; background-color: #888;"></span>
span functions as an inline element. Consider using div, or adding
display:block;
to your styling
Illustration available in this fiddle
Quick solution: Add the "display: inline-block;" style to the span element.
If you are dealing with older versions of IE, you may have to include "zoom: 1;" instead of using the inline-block property. I do not remember exactly which version requires this workaround, but I know it is necessary for version 7.
The reason for this behavior is that a span is considered an inline element. In order for it to adhere to width/height specifications, you must change it to either a block or inline-block.
