CSS - Assigning Colours To Circular References.
Hi Everyone.
I'm a new member and so please forgive me if I don't immediately understand all the jargon. However I have a problem and I was hoping someone might be able to help. I have searched the web and W3 schools but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I am using strict HTML with an external CSS style sheet. I have a several paged website I am creating for part of a University assignment. I have several links which have 3 colours for 3 states. Link, visited and highlight. These work perfectly. (For me anyway). I have now been told to remove 'circular references'. I understand this to be; If I am on the 'Home' page, then 'Home' is no longer a link. (The cursor turns to a text bar instead of a hand) I have removed href from the html to stop this happening. leaving just <a>Home</a> This is fine, however, the colours that I specified in the css now no longer apply and the text is just black. I have followed the instructions in the web pages that I have seen to retain the colours, or add them to an inline style sheet, but nothing seems to work. I can only achieve adding one colour (but not making it change when visited or hovering) or changing the colour of ALL links. Sorry if this is confusing.. I hope someone can help! The relevent code is below. HTML <head> <style type="text/css"> .homebut a:link {color: red;} .homebut a:visited {color: purple;} .homebut a:hover {color: orange;} <!--none of the above seems to work--> </style> </head> <body> <div class="homebut"> <a>Home</a> </div> CSS /*This is applied to all links but doesn't work when I remove HREF from the HTML*/ a:link { COLOR: #0099FF; text-decoration:none;} a:visited { COLOR: #00FFFF; } a:hover { COLOR: #FFFFFF; } Similar TutorialsHi. I've got an element in my CSS such as: PHP Code: .footer { width: 760px; background-color: Aqua; } I'm trying to use it in a table to have the table take on the properties of the .footer element. Currently I'm using it like this: PHP Code: <TABLE class="footer" ALIGN="CENTER" BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td>MY CONTENT</td></tr></table> Should the bg of the table not be what I set in the CSS element??? Hi, Why does the following not change my scrollbar colours? PHP Code: body { font: 14px Arial, sans-serif; color: #18387B; background: #687BA3; margin-top: 5px; margin-left: 5px; SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #FF9900; SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #FF9900; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #999999; SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #FFFFFF; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #666666; } how can i colour the scroll bars on my page - i.e. the ones when you have to scroll up and down the page, but also, the ones used within form elements such as drop down lists. I have tried using css, but to no avail. My page consists of two frames - one on the left and one on the right. Thankyou. Hi, Is there a way to tell the browser to replace certain colours with other colours? For example replace #FF0000 with #00FF00? Also is there anyway to refer to the parent of an element? Thanks, Matthew Hi, I use blog software (Wordpress) to run my site and this allows me to use different themes. I have created three themes that are exactly the same except for the colours used. I would like to seperate the layout definitions from the colour definitions so that I can call the layout css on all of them and then call the required colour css. I have tried taking out all references to colour and then putting those references into a new css and then calling that but unfortunately it didn't work. I am presuming that some definitions require more than just colours. Can somebody help seperate the layout from the colours for me? I'm sure there are other "issues" with the css, so if anything else is bad please let me know. I have attached the relevant css as a text file. TIA Phillip That's about the height of it. I have been trying to pick colours for the site I'm playing with. I can't find any pastal (my preference - not necessarily the best, I'm still learning) colours I like in the Web Safe Colours. So, I started snooping around the internet . . . mostly to find out how bad it is that I'm not considering IE 5.x when developing. I found this information at Upsdell: Browser News and it appears to be dated Nov 19th 2005. It suggests that ~1% are restricted to the 256 colours. Is this site reputable for information accuracy and is it reasonable to conclude that web safe colours are a thing of the past? Cheers! Hi everyone! I am having a problem with some missing colours and images in firefox. I have validated my XHTML 1.0 and CSS as OK. It looks correct in IE 6.0 but not in FF, i am sure someone will know the answer straight away! address is http://www.wellandpower.net charlie Hi, I'm having trouble with changing the colour of link, vlink and alink in a webpage layer. I use CSS to set the colours in the main page body tag but am unable to change the colour of the hyperlinks in a layer on the same page to a different set of colours. This causes some of links to be unreadable and i'd like to be able to change the colours of the links in the layer but keep the colours on the main webpage. Anyone got any idea how to do this?. Is CSS the way to go?. The website is written in PHP if that makes any difference. Many thanks for any help. Hi guys i am lost big time. ive spend well over 10 hours trying to think, try, to solve this problem. i have got 6 Horizontal CSS Dropdown Menu to make but each one of them must have there own colours , green, blue, yellow, pink etc. and in that the hover colour must match the colour menu that your on at the time i.e be slightly darker. any ideas on how i would do this its driving me mad, ive tryed classes, divs java but am just getting no where I have a container DIV a with absolute position containing DIV's b,c,d each with absolute position. Code: <DIV class="a"> <DIV class="b"></DIV> <DIV class="c"></DIV> <DIV class="d"></DIV> </DIV> <DIV class="e"></DIV> DIV e has no asssigned position and is not displayed(floating in the background). I want to replace any of b,c or d (setting display to none) with e, displaying e in the position of either b,c or d. How do I assign the style of one DIV to another that is not its parent? I could if necessary place e inside a and do a swap, but I have quite a lot of DIV's like a, and would rather not have to repeat the code in each container DIV. Hope this makes sense! Hi people, I am completely new to programming and have only spent this weekend learning it! I have managed to create a decent website already, however i am stuck at a point. On my main page, i have attached a CSS stylesheet with all the formatting for my page. My problem however is that when i try to format one section (<div id="gallery">) the formatting messes with the rest of the page. Is there a way that i can assign a style sheet to only that <div id="gallery"> without it applying to the entire html page. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks Chris Hi All... New to CSS, forgive my ignorence... I have started using CSS to assign classes to form elements, this works fine with input boxes but has no effect when assigning the same class to a dropdown listbox "<select>" - no change is apparrent in their appearance... Can anyone help please? Is this anything to do with 'contextual selectors'? If so how can I perform what i want to do? Sample of my code... Title: <select name="CUSTTITLE" class="formelements" > <option value="" <?php if (!(strcmp("", $form->value("CUSTTITLE")))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>></option> <option value="Mr" <?php if (!(strcmp("Mr", $form->value("CUSTTITLE")))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Mr</option> <option value="Mrs" <?php if (!(strcmp("Mrs", $form->value("CUSTTITLE")))) {echo "SELECTED";} ?>>Mrs</option></option> <input name="CUSTFIRSTNAME" type="text" class="formelements" size="15" maxlength="40" value=" <? if($form->value("CUSTFIRSTNAME") == ""){ echo $session->userinfo['CUSTFIRSTNAME']; }else{ echo $form->value("CUSTFIRSTNAME"); } ?>"> .formelements { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small; color: #000000; margin: 1px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; } Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Arco I have a loop in PHP that runs through sets of data and assigns positioning based on its place in the loop. For some reason the styles for position aren't being applied. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? Code: <html>
<head>
<style>
#wrapper {width:100%; height:100%;}
#box {background-color:gray; width:100px;}
</style>
<body>
<div id=wrapper>
<div style="postion:absolute; left:50px; top:100px" id=box>AA</div>
<div style="postion:absolute; left:100px; top:100px" id=box>BB</div>
<div style="postion:absolute; left:150px; top:100px" id=box>CC</div>
</div>
For a navigation I am using, I must use an li height to control spacing in IE6. I'm also using bullets to show a user where they are in the site by only having one bullet display at a time. Unfortunately, the height assignment I use on my li causes IE to misplace the bullet next to its secondary nav. Below is code I'm using to troubleshoot: Code:
<ul><li><a href="#">dog</a></li>
<li><a href="#">cat</a></li>
<li class="here"><a href="#">fish</a></li>
<ul>
<li><a href="#">trout</a></li>
<li><a href="#">angel</a></li>
<li><a href="#">salmon</a></li>
</ul>
<li><a href="#">turtle</a></li>
<li><a href="#">elephant</a></li>
</ul>
Code:
li {height: 20px; list-style-type: none;}
li.here {list-style-type: disc;}
If a user is on the page fish, they will see that bullet point to page salmon. Any recommendations? Hullo, I have an issue here that I have been trying to find a solution for for the past week, but I suppose I don't really know what exactly to look for. I want to make a background that consists of different horizontal color strips. The reason I do not want to use an image and repeat it is because the strips are different in height. I want them to shrink/expand vertically keeping their proportion to each other ( instead of repeating vertically) in case the screen used to view the website is smaller/ bigger than mine. I tried creating different elements using <div id="name"> and assigning a background color and define a percentage for the height, however this doesn't work because the element has to have text inside it to expand according to it. I do not want to assign fixed heights because as I said I want them to expand and shrink proportionally. If you know a way to do this even if it is not CSS please let me know. All help is appreciated. Thanks. Hi there, I have set up some scollbar colours for IE. I have some scrollable divs that are using the css, but the main scrollbar to the right of the browser does not have the css applied to it. This is my css: PHP Code: scrollbar-arrow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #d4e5ab; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #517107; scrollbar-face-color: #719e07; scrollbar-highlight-color: #add450; Any ideas why that is? |
