This is my HTML code
<div id="div1"> <div></div><div></div><div></div><br/><div></div><div></div><div></div> </div>
My CSS:
#div1 { width:150px;height:100px;white-space:nowrap; border:blue 1px solid;padding:5px; } #div1 div { width:30px;height:30px; border:blue 1px solid; display:inline-block; *display:inline;zoom:1; margin:0px;outline:none; }
If I insert the <!DOCTYPE html>
before the <html>
tag, the page will look like this:
But if I remove the <!DOCTYPE html>
tag, the 'whitespace' between the two lines will be remove
But I'd like to use <!DOCTYPE html>
tag, it's recommend, but I can't find any CSS rule that can remove that whitespace, I have used margin:0;outline:none; etc... but it not work , anyone help me. Thanks!( I'm not good at English ...)
You get whitespace there because you have whitespace inbetween the divs. Whitespace between inline elements is interpreted as a space. However, this is a bad way to do what you want to do. You should float the elements if thats what you want to do.
HTML. Line Height Property: The CSS line-height-property can be used to set the height of the line, whose value is set to normal, by default. By setting the height of the container at 0%, the white space can be removed.
We can also remove white space by setting parent element font-size to 0 and child elements font-size to 17px .
The cleanest way to fix this is to apply the vertical-align: top
property to you CSS rules:
#div1 div { width:30px;height:30px; border:blue 1px solid; display:inline-block; *display:inline;zoom:1; margin:0px;outline:none; vertical-align: top; }
If you were to add content to your div
's, then using either line-height: 0
or font-size: 0
would cause problems with your text layout.

This problem can arise when a browser is in "quirks" mode. In this example, changing the doctype from:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
to
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Strict//EN">
will change how the browser deals with extra whitespace.
In quirks mode, the whitespace is ignored, but preserved in strict mode.
