Space between nowrap inline blocks [duplicate]

by

That’s because of a space character between inline(-block) elements (a line break and a few tabs counts as a space), This could be fixed by commenting that space out this way:

<div style="background: red;"></div><!-- 
 --><div style="background: yellow;"></div><!-- 
 --><div style="background: green;"></div><!-- 
 --><div style="background: blue;"></div>

Online Demo.

Actually, it’s not a bug, it’s the normal behavior of the inline elements; Just like when you place an image next to a line of text, or put a button next to an input element.

There are couple of ways to remove the space between inline(-block) elements:

  • Minimized the HTML
  • Negative margins
  • Comment the white space out
  • Break the closing tag
  • Set the font size of the parent to zero then reset that for children
  • Float the inline items instead
  • Use flexbox
