Fixed.


Im learning some HTML/CSS, again^^. and I found a problem... I googled for like an hour but still cant find answer -.-

Im trying to print a simple text with top and bottom border:

So, this is what I want:

[image loading]

Here is the code
html:
 <body>
<h1>CSS border property example</h1>
</body>


css:
 h1 {
border-top-width: 1px;
border-right-width: 0px;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-left-width: 0px;
border-style: solid;
}


however the result is this, which is not what I want:
[image loading]


like u can see the lengths of borders are way too long, I know I can fix this by using the <table> element instead of <h1>, but i wanna know how can I fix this without touching the html code? I guess I need some magic to my CSS file T.T

halp =(

ps. Fixed... thanks everyone

I thought this was going to be someone asking for Sc2 help and I was like "yayyyyy i'm going to help"

I saw a screenshot with some computer-ey stuff and was like "oh, clearly he's having trouble installing, I can still help"

then I read the post. D: I can't help, sorry.

OK, I fixed this.^^

here is the solution if someone is curious:


h1 {
display: inline;
border-bottom:1px solid black;
border-top:1px solid black;
}

It's doing that because the h1 is a block level element, add:

display: inline;


to the CSS, or additionally set a width on the element:

width: 400px;


See you fixed already! :p

Another helpful thing might be to use firebug or chrome console (F12) so you can edit your javascript/css directly on the css declaration in the page (no need to refresh and seems more intuitive at least to me).
