Horizontal line between two words

Question

How can I add a line between this two words with css:

Last Action Items------------------------------View more----

Without the \"-\"

I did this: https://

Answer 1

This is a somewhat cleaner version of @RobAu his second solution. It should work.

span {
  display:inline-block;
  border-bottom: 1px solid black;
  line-height:0
}

Last Action Items<span style="width: 100px">&nbsp;</span>View more<span style="width: 50px">&nbsp;</span>

Answer 2

Maybe using text-decoration:

Last Action Items<span style="text-decoration: line-through">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>View more<span style="text-decoration: line-through">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>

Or use an inline-block

Last Action Items<span style="display:inline-block; width:100px; border-bottom: 1px solid black; line-height:0">&nbsp;</span>View more

Answer 3

The solution demonstrated in the Code Snippet embedded below utilizes existing elements with no further additions or adjustments to the DOM, or html structure.

An absolutely positioned pseudo-element is used to function as the required horizontal line resulting in the intended behaviour.

Code Snippet Demonstration:

.c-decorated-header {
  position: relative;
}

.c-decorated-header h3 {
  position: relative;
  color: #7B8291;
  text-align: left;
}

.c-decorated-header h3:after {
  content: "";
  height: 1px;
  position: absolute;
  right: 0;
  left: 100px;
  top: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  margin: auto;
  background: #e2e2e6;
}

.c-decorated-header h3 span {
  position: relative;
  font-size: .6em;
  font-weight: 600;
  font-stretch: condensed;
  background: #f5f4f4;
}

.c-decorated-header_link-view-more {
  position: absolute;
  top: -5px;
  right: 40px;
  font-size: 14px;
  font-weight: 400;
  font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
  color: #5787fd;
  text-decoration: none;
  background: white;
  padding: 5px;
}

<div class='container c-decorated-header'>
  <h3><span>Last Action items</span></h3>
  <div class='c-decorated-header_link-view-more'>
    <a href="www.something.com">View More</a>
  </div>
<div>
