Border radius circle

Question

I've this code :

span p {
    margin: 0;
}

span {
    background-color: red;
    display: inline-block;
    border-radius: 50%;
}

<span>
    <p>25</p>
    <p>08</p>
</span>

I want to make a perfect circle on my span. I try a border-radius: 50%; but it does not work.

Thanks for the help !

Answer 1

You need a predefined width and height on the span to be able to make it round.

span p {
    margin: 0;
}

span {
    background-color: red;
    display: inline-block;
    border-radius: 50%;
    width:40px;
    height:40px;
    padding-left:10px;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

<span>
    <p>25</p>
    <p>08</p>
</span>

Answer 2

You can do this by giving the span a fixed width and height:

span p {
    margin: 0;
}

span {
    background-color: red;
    display: inline-block;
    border-radius: 50%;
    width: 50px;
    height: 50px;
    text-align: center;
}

<span>
    <p>25</p>
    <p>08</p>
</span>
