I have a list, which leaves some spaces for indentation purposes and also provides dashed underlying. However the display
properties used for this list do no match, causes the text to change line when a space is found. Here is a Fiddle.
The CSS:
.dashed {
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 90%;
border-bottom: dashed 2px #54687a;
}
li {
display: table-row;
}
li span {
display: table-cell;
padding-right: 1em;
}
I tried to keep only one display
property, but that failed. Anyone has a fix for this please?
Let's speak with images!
What happens now - it's the problem:
Desired result:
Remove the dashed
class, and add these styles:
li span:after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
display: block;
width: 90%;
margin-left: -12px; /* compensate for padding-left: 12px; */
border-bottom: dashed 2px #54687a;
}
Fiddle
Are you trying to get it so that everything is in one line, like this?

If so, try this:
li span {
display: inline-block;
padding-right: 1em;
}
I just updated your fiddle
I added in your CSS
ul li span {
background: url("../img/arrow.png") 0 50% no-repeat;
background: url("https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/29841/arrow.svg") 0 50% no-repeat;
list-style-type: none;
padding-left: 12px;
display: inline-block; // added or it can be inline
}
You'll likely have better luck with display: block;
on the list items and display: inline-block;
on the span. table-cell
is causing the line to wrap around.
li {
display: display;
padding: 10px 0px; /* modify as desired */
}
li span {
width: 50px; /* Set width as needed so the names line up, even if the span text is different lengths */
display: inline-block;
padding-right: 1em;
}

UPDATED - Final css should be like
ul li span {
background: url("../img/arrow.png") 0 50% no-repeat;
background: url("https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/29841/arrow.svg") 0 50% no-repeat;
list-style-type: none;
padding-left: 12px;
}
.dashed {
border-bottom: 2px dashed #54687a;
display: block;
width: 58%;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
li {
display: table-row;
padding-bottom:5px;
}
li span {
display: inline-block;
padding-right: 1em;
width:23%;
}
