How to Eliminate Unwanted Spacing Between Inline-Block Elements?

Resolving Space Between Non-Wrapped Inline Blocks

When aligning block elements side-by-side to span the browser width, using white-space: nowrap can be effective. However, there may be an unexpected spacing between blocks.

Solution

The spacing often originates from whitespace characters between inline(-block) elements. One way to eliminate this space is by eliminating the whitespace:

<div>

Additional Approaches

Other methods for removing the whitespace include:

• Minimizing HTML: Removing unnecessary whitespace and formatting.
• Negative margins: Adding negative margins to child elements.
• Breaking the closing tags: Splitting closing tags into multiple lines.
• Zero font size technique: Setting the parent's font size to zero and resetting it for children.
• Floating inline items: Floating the child elements individually.
• Using flexbox: Employing the more modern flexbox layout for flexible positioning and alignment.
