Pretty simple question, but I am not sure if it is possible. I want to add an image to act as a bullet in all <h1>
elements. I know I can achieve this by:
<span class='bullet'></span><h1>My H1 text here</h1>
with css:
.bullet{
background: url('bullet.png') no-repeat;
display:inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
background-size:100%;
height:25px;
width:25px;
margin-right: 5px;
}
but is there an automatic way to do the same thing? I was thinking something like:
h1{
list-style-image: url('bullet.png');
}
but that only seems to work with <ul>
elements. I really don't want to have to paste the <span>
element everywhere before the <h1>
element. Any ideas?
While you can use a :before
pseudo-selector to add a "-" or "•" character in front of your element, it doesn't really make your element behave like a bullet point. Your element may look like a bullet point, but that's just a dirty hack, really, and should be avoided!
To make your element both (1) look like a bullet point and (2) behave like a bullet point, you should set the display
, list-style-type
and list-style-position
attributes of that element.
EXAMPLE CODE
h1 {
display: list-item; /* This has to be "list-item" */
list-style-type: disc; /* See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-type */
list-style-position: inside; /* See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/list-style-position */
}
<h1>My H1 text here</h1>
THE FIDDLE
http://jsfiddle.net/L15a53cb/
You could do something like this:
h1:before {
content:"• ";
}
See Fiddle :
http://jsfiddle.net/6kt8jhfo/6/
You can use pseudo-selector :before
to add anything what you want before your tag.
h1:before {
content: "- "
}
<h1>My H1 text here</h1>
Something like this should work
h1, h2, h3 {
background: url("the image link goes here") 0 center no-repeat;
padding-left: 15px; /* change this to fit your needs */
}
The very simple way to create a bullet using the before css is to utilize the font family ... this way there is no need to include any graphics and etc.
here is the class code:
.SomeClass:before {
font-family: "Webdings";
content: "= ";
{
Nope, list-style
and list-style-image
are only for ul
and ol
tags you'll have to get back to your first method or make something with js
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_list.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_list-style-type.asp
list-style-type
is reserved for ul
only.
You can use <h1 class="bullet">
with pseudo-element :before
.
Give a class name to the paragraph or any element and apply the below code
(I have given class name as bullet
):
.bullet::before {
content: '';
position: absolute;
bottom: 7px;
left: -10px;
width: 3px;
height: 3px;
background-color: #000;
border-radius: 50%;
}
Just use
<p>• </p>
to create a dot in front of your word
