CSS - Clearing Previous Css Stylesheet From A Portion Of A Page (and Then Using New Styles)
I am trying to figure out how to nullify all of the previously set CSS styles in a portion of a page. Then, be able to set new styles to affect just that portion.
The situation is this: Using a Wordpress theme, I have a single article that I want to be formatted completely differently than normal. However, there are css styles for things like <body>, <td>, <blockquote> etc (lots of them) that I already set in the theme itself. I don't want these theme-defined styles to affect the article portion, for this article only, and only for the article portion of the page. Is this possible, other than by re-declaring all the css values that are set in the theme? Similar TutorialsI have the following in my css: Code:
input, textarea, select {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color: #ECEEF1;
border: 1px solid #505355;
color: #505355;
margin: 3px;
font-size: 10px;
}
input:hover, textarea:hover, select:hover {
background-color: #FFE7DB;
border: 1px solid #D64800;
color: #D64800;
}
and then I have something like this on my page: <input name="rate" type="radio" value=6 onclick="this.form.submit()" class="rateradio" /> How can I make the class selector 'rateradio' to override the background-color and border options in the input and input:hover css? I have some inputs wich I want that css to work but some inputs I want to override the background color and the border, how can I do it? Quote: Dan Cederholm of SimpleBits: It's important to note that the cascading effect of CSS still applies, and alternate style sheets work just like any other style sheet, in that only common rules are overridden when the alternate styles are active. So if we had layout, positioning, and other site-wide rules in default.css that weren't repeated in the alternate style sheets, those default rules would still work. I'm making a site that has a default stylesheet with a fixed layout and an alternative one with a fluid layout. The problem I'm having is the alternative sheet not inheriting css from the default stylesheet even though the rules are not overridden. At the moment, my alternative stylesheet is an exact copy of the original (everything included) with only 3 width values changed to percentages. Theoretically, I should be able to only include these three rules alone in the alt sheet, as rules are carried over from the default sheet unless overridden. However, when I do try to reduce the alt sheet to just: Code: #container { width: auto; }
#main { width: 65%; }
#navbar { width: 30%; }
all unincluded formatting is lost. Am I doing something wrong? Cheers, Sam. Hi all I am using a style sheet with the print media type to controll how my site looks when it is printed out. It works very well the only problem being that I have <div>s which make boxes for the content and I would like for the boxes to not get split upon diffrent pages. Idealy I would like to make it so that if the the <div> is going to split over two pages it just gets put at the start of the next page. This probaly isn't possiable but you never know. Any Ideas would be helpfull Nick Carlevaris I have a very strange problem. My firefox is ignoring the changes I made to the style sheet. I have this in my webpage and the style.css file location is right (one directory up). <link href="../style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> Because it's ignoring my new changes, I deleted everything in my style.css file, and the page still displays as though the file exists. However, if I delete the above line, then the page will display without any style. IE is loading with the changes I made though. I have also checked my stylesheet with the W3C css validation and it has no error. So, any body know why this is happening? I just figured out how to make a cool navigation bar with css, but adjusting the links in the bar also changes the style of all my other links on the page. Is it possible to have two sets of link styles, one that only applies on the navigation bar and one that only applies on my other text? The navigation bar and text each have their own div, if that helps at all. How would you go about this? Hello. Currently my site is all CSS. I know tables are terrible to some people but should I use a table for this portion of my site? Or should I wrap each member into a div then another dive for the image/postion and another div for name/description? Basically its just for the team members photo and description. It think I'll end up with a ton of divs so I think tables might be better. (unless there is an easy way to do it with limited amount of divs and CSS?) I'm trying to determine the best way to design a UI for a PHP application. There is a header portion with menu choices and a footer portion. There is also a background image 'picture frame' that sits in between the header menu and footer and gets loaded depending on the user's preferences. None of these three scroll. Within that picture frame, there is a center screen with a scrolling application. This portion would load different screens based on what was picked as a menu choice, and the user would scroll in the application if the particular screen were longer. Is the best way to do this using frames, or is there a better choice in terms of speed, browser compatibility, etc.? Thanks for your suggestions. We're having a weird problem with a print stylesheet - a little bit of the javascript menu appear on the printed over the top of the content. eg: (http://www.lawhandbook.sa.gov.au/ch10.php ) - Print Preview this page and you will see "Chapters A-Z" in the middle. This seems to happen in all browsers. We've looked into many css solutions to the issue - but to no avail - we cant make the damn thing disappear. One long winded solution is to change the stylesheet to be built dynamically - so a call to ch10.php=true would build the page differently. But this seems to defeat the purpose of using a print stylesheet in the first place. Another long winded soltuion is to change the (Rather old) menu script - but that not really an option in this case either. So my question is - What happens when a browser prints a page? Does it send anything back to the server indicating it is loading the print stylesheet instead? (eg: Some sort of request variable) Or does the client's browser simple request the CSS file and reformat the page it has already downloaded? If so I could detect this event with PHP or Javascript to not load the offending menus when the print css had been loaded I am really racking my brain here I know this will end up being a simple fix but after creating this for a few hours straight, I just can't see it. Ok here's the page and the situation... myspace[dot]com[slash]daggersanddiamonds My links at the top of my page are sliced fine and the links do work (in explorer) but somehow in Firefox, they are being hidden by some invisible layer that extends about 800ish pixels in width that hides the clickability. As you can see, the first half portion of "Add to Friends" works but the rest is disabled, and part of the "Vimeo" link works, but not totally.. and ofcourse the middle links are totally dead to click. My question is, whats hiding these links? Any help is super thanked! I m wondering if any body help me out regarding style sheet.. I m using an image as a background in a column of a table... I just want to display the lower portion of tht image while using it as a background..and cut down the upper portion...how can i achieve this in css style sheet? Code:
<table width="800" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
style="">
<tr>
<td width="800" height="258" STYLE="background-image:
url('Images/mega/mega.gif');background-repeat:no-repeat"></td>
</tr>
</table>
In my css I have the following to set up the height and width of the page to 100%: Code:
html, body {
font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;
color: #000000;
background-color: #E1E1E1;
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-align: center;
}
For my website I have the following layout: Code:
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="menu"></div>
<div id="main"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
How do I get the <div id="main"></div> to fill in the remainder of the window height, without setting its height to 100% and them causing scroll bars and throwing the footer off the page. I was wondering does anyone know where I can obtain the Internet Explorer 6 stylesheet for Windows XP? The UI components in IE6 look different in Windows XP than IE6 for Windows 2000. I would like to obtain the stylesheet if it is available somewhere. Thanks for your help. Val I have three different css Stylesheets.

Bart 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 Hiya, theres a website I'm creating a print stylesheet for which includes the company logo in the header, with a footer of contact details. problem is, the website is all static pages and 100 odd pages, so as I'm having to deal with the static state of the site for now, is there a way I can have in the Print stylesheet or in the CSS where the logo can be inserted in a header and a footer created with text? hope this makes sense? Hey all, a few probs here. My new webpage coded with stylesheets: http://www.stocksbridgepentaqua.co.uk/test/index.php It looks good in IE and bad in FireFox (mozilla) its not a major problem because the ppl im targetting are using IE. Next, on this page: http://www.stocksbridgepentaqua.co..../index.php?id=9 I want a scroll bar in the actual window instead of it making the box massive. And another thing, how do I make a space between the bottom of the website and the bottom of the browser? Thanks. Jack. I'm fairly new at web development and pretty much a newbie at using CSS. I noticed on foxnews.com that they use a parameter with the CSS file. I've did searches on this but not turned up alot. Code: <LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="/css/mainStyles2004.css?v2"> <LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="/css/rootStyles.css?v3"> I'm assuming the ?v2 and ?v3 are PHP like paramters. I looked at the CSS file using the firefox web developer toolbar and I didn't see any referance to v2 or v3 in those files? Can anyone explain this to me? Hello All, I was hoping that you could look at a site for me, and help me figure out what is causing the rendering issues in IE6/7. I have a separate CSS stylesheet for anything that is IE7 or lower; however, I am not sure if it is actually loading at all. I don't really have access to IE6/7 in a live environment, to check everything about the site, so if anyone has any suggestions for tools that will allow me to work with a live view of IE6/7 that would be a great help as well. The site link is: http://www.saracanada.com/ Thanks in advance everyone. Hey, I've run into a problem where I though i knew how to do it an easy way but it only worked for about 5 minutes. Here is what I have. All of my pages have the same navigation from an external PHP file. The style is saved in the main.css stylesheet. When you select a link it gets a background image. I thought that I could save my self having to edit every page for IE by doing this in the main.css stylesheet Code:
* html>#navwhatever{
/*set to gif iamge instead of PNG image*/
background-image:url('image/splash_legion.gif');
}
This doesn't work. It still uses the PNG images. I'd realy like not to have to edit every page to fix my site for IE, any suggestions would be great. Thanks for reading |
