How to create border around a header AND the following paragraph using css
Posted on 2012-04-03
I want to have a border around each header and the text that follows. I already know how to put border around the <h1> and <p> containers. Want to be able to border both together. My current code is as follows:
#column1 p
{
text-align: justify;
background-color:#5e6e41;
padding: 2em;
border-style: solid;
border-radius:20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
-webkit-border-radius: 40px;
border-width:0.2em;
-moz-border-width:0.2em;
-webkit-border-width:0.4em;
border-color:white;
-webkit-column-break-inside:avoid;
-moz-column-break-inside:avoid;
column-break-inside:avoid;
}
#column1 h1
{
border-color:black;
}

I also note that I am aware that this layout may be achieved by putting a border on the div. However, I am designing the page for a cms. So it will not be possible to manually insert each heading and subsequent paragraphs in separate divs

You will still need a div or an other HTML element to add a border around the H1 and P element.
Maybe you can add a new div with jQuery like this .wrap function: http://api.jquery.com/wrap/.
jQuery saves me a lots of time when i don't have to possibility to edit the HTML output of a CMS, you can manipulate almost everything with it.

This is very basic, but it could just work. The secret is to not use margin-bottom or padding-bottom and it should line up.

therealteune,
The jQuery approach looks promising. I had a look at their website but I could not figure out how to make it return an outcome like to code below.
Basically I want to start the div at the <h1> and include every following <p> until I reach the next <h1>.
