In this instance, your div elements have been changed from block level elements to inline elements. A typical characteristic of inline elements is that they respect the whitespace in the markup. This explains why a gap of space is generated between the elements. (example) There are a few solutions that can be used to solve … Read more
Actually I had the same problem and I realized that, if you add a hyphen between the % and the letter, you can remove the leading zero. For example %Y/%-m/%-d. This only works on Unix (Linux, OS X), not Windows (including Cygwin). On Windows, you would use #, e.g. %Y/%#m/%#d.
I found a neat little hack to set the left padding for this exact situation. Basically, you set the leftView property of the UITextField to be an empty view of the size of the padding you want: UIView *paddingView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 5, 20)]; textField.leftView = paddingView; textField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways; Worked like a … Read more
Since Java 1.5, String.format() can be used to left/right pad a given string. public static String padRight(String s, int n) { return String.format(“%-” + n + “s”, s); } public static String padLeft(String s, int n) { return String.format(“%” + n + “s”, s); } … public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { System.out.println(padRight(“Howto”, … Read more
In your specific case though it’s probably easiest to use the -f flag to seq to get it to format the numbers as it outputs the list. For example: for i in $(seq -f “%05g” 10 15) do echo $i done will produce the following output: 00010 00011 00012 00013 00014 00015 More generally, bash … Read more
To help me remember the meaning of padding, I think of a big coat with lots of thick cotton padding. I’m inside my coat, but me and my padded coat are together. We’re a unit. But to remember margin, I think of, “Hey, give me some margin!” It’s the empty space between me and you. … Read more
TL;DR: By default I use margin everywhere, except when I have a border or background and want to increase the space inside that visible box. To me, the biggest difference between padding and margin is that vertical margins auto-collapse, and padding doesn’t. Consider two elements one above the other each with padding of 1em. This … Read more
