Restaurant web site and menu. I need to get "line of dots" between menu item and price. I need to get it without writing dots manually one by one. This feature should work automatically.
Is it possible to create this by using background of span or div etc?

Thanks for advance.
I think you look for something like this:
html
<div>
<div>Marinated Olives</div>
<div class="dot"></div>
<div>4.00E</div>
</div>
css
.dot{
border-bottom: dotted 3px orange;
width: 100px;
float: left;
position: relative;
display: block;
height: 12px;
margin: 0 5px 0 5px;
}
div:first-child, div:last-child{
float:left;
}
fiddle
You can play with width to adjust in your likes.
Also another approach using css :after
html
<div>
<div id="dotted">Marinated Olives</div>
<div>4.00E</div>
</div>
css
div{
float:left;
}
#dotted::after{
content: "..................";
letter-spacing: 4px;
font-size: 18px;
color:orange;
margin-left:20px;
}
fiddle
Here you can play with content and letter-spacing. Hope it helps :)
Use a div with absolute positioning? White backgrounds for paragraphs? Valid for any length of menu-item-name. Play around with it, good luck!
<div class='item_wrapper'>
<p class='item_name'>Marinated olives</p>
<p class='item_price'>4,00€</p>
<div class='dotted_line'></div>
</div>
.item_wrapper{
width:100%;
clear: both;
}
.dotted_line{
border-top:dotted 2px orange;
position:relative;
width:100%;
top:33px;
z-index:-1;
}
p{
position:relative;
background:white;
padding:0px 10px;
}
.item_name{
float:left;
}
.item_price{
float:right;
}

You can use this code to generate the line:
#helper{
width:200px;
border: 1px dashed orange;
}

You can use css for this.
If you just add
border: thick dotted;
To the appropriate section of css. This will create a dotted boarder around the whole element it is applied to. If you wish to have just the dots below the element, then use:
border-bottom: thick dotted;
You can also use think dotted or just dotted if you want different sizes.
You can then add orange to get the color:
border-bottom: thick dotted orange;
Hope this helps :)
