CSS - Can Styles Be Disabled On The Fly?
Hi folks.
I am in the process of creating a feature in our Web application to allow users to create and manage a set of simple HTML email templates. At the bottom of my editor screen I show a preview of the formatted email (with the text and HTML entered into a textarea field). My problem is that when I output the preview to the Web page, it inherits all the styles from the parent page (for example an <h1> header has colors and special spacing, etc.). Is there a way to temporarily disable then re-enable the CSS styles defined in the header of the page so I can draw the "preview" with default browser CSS styles which will reflect more what an eMail program would look like? I am not sure if this can be done. If it could, it would be awesome and save me from having to code a special preview page or iFrame for the email template. Similar TutorialsHi, if i test my website with javascript disabled i don't see any colors or styles(it automatically disables css too). i don't know if its normal or not?? i din't disable css rather i disabled javascript only. all suggestions and recommendations are most welcome. Ok, don't blame me if this looks like a bad idea as it's not my code. I just have to make it work. Our navigation is basically a div that has a background which is three times the height of that div (and the background file contains different versions of each button or so I am told). Our code is below. We want to have a div behind the menu that will obviously show up if images are disabled but I can't get it working. Presumably because the nav div uses a background file and is not actually filled. Code: PHP Code: <div id="mainmenuText">text links to go below...</div> <div id="mainmenu"> <ul id="mainmenulist"> <li id="menu_homepage"><a href="index.php" title="Homepage" name="Homepage">Homepage</a></li> <li id="menu_apartments"><a href="apartments.php" title="Apartments" name="Apartments">Apartments</a></li> <li id="menu_villas"><a href="villas.php" title="Villas" name="Villas">Villas</a></li> <li id="menu_prices"><a href="prices.php" title="Price Matrix" name="Price Matrix">Price Matrix</a></li> <li id="menu_contact"><a href="contact.php" title="Contact Us" name="Contact Us">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> </div> CSS: PHP Code: #mainmenu { z-index:1000; height: 20px; background: transparent url("../images/layout/navigation.jpg") no-repeat top left; margin-left: 0px; } #mainmenuText { z-index:10; width:100%; height:100%; position:relative; top:10px; display:block; margin-left: 0px; } I am using a CSS with my forms, including setting the color and text font for the <INPUT> buttons. However, if the button is disabled, the colors revert to system default. I've tried but can't seem to set the color if the button is disabled. Is it even possible? Thanks, Hi I have a page I am putting together and everything is fine until I take off js in ff. Then I get this small gap between the code thats would have gotten replaced by flash if js was enabled. Its right below the menu. If you could take a look at http://www.bostonredhat.com/menu.php with js enabled and with it disabled for me and let me know if you see any problems I am missing I would appreciate it. Thanks. This was bugging me for a while last week, devshed and google weren't helping much so I wrote my own. Basically if you're trying to get a Javascript enabled site to degrade then instead of writing a clumsy function to walk the DOM and "activate" your funky UI elements just document.write a CSS style block. Mind numbingly simple... and it works: Link: http://www.cyclomedia.co.uk/?40 Code: Code: <head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="javascript_disabled.css">
<script type="text/javscript">
if( document.getElementById )
document.write('<' + 'link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="javascript_enabled.css">');
</script>
</head>
www.cyclomedia.co.uk - ASP, CSS and AJAX demos, examples and tutorials with free source code download Is there a way to detect if the browser have disabled CSS? That way, I can redirect users to another page explaining that website won't function with his/her browser with disabled CSS. This is a small thing, but it's kind of annoying. I'm using CSS to make some buttons on my site purty. And they are purty. The problem comes in when I set a buttons state to "disabled". IE o' so nicely makes the button "grayed out". Mozilla browsers do squat. Observe he http://www.drcwbt.com/codetests/disabledbutton.htm I was hoping I might be able to skirt around this problem with the pseudo class ":disabled" but it appears that this is too new still and nobody supports it. Any ideas on how to "gray out" in Mozilla? Hey - So I have a page with a disabled multiple select box, which is automatically populated with the relevant selected value. In Firefox, you can still see the value that's been automatically selected even though it's disabled. But in IE, you can't. Is there a way to make IE show that? Thanks in advance. Not sure if this is an HTML or CSS related question but here goes... googling gives me nothing. I have a form that I've built and on occasion one or two of the text fields may have text in side them but I've sent the text field to 'disabled' so that the user cannot change the information inside. The problem is is that some of my users are a little bit older and have a hard time seeing what is inside of the disabled text field because its already grayed out and the text inside is gray. Does anyone know if there is a way to change this or is it just a default with internet explorer? Thanks! When a Text Input is disabled, is there a way to control the visual characteristics such that it's not as subdued, or use different colors for the text / background? I've searched and searched with no luck. Does anyone know if it is possible to set a style that would set all my disabled textboxs to a grey bg color, back to white on enabling. I know I can perform it through javascript. I'm just trying to do as much with styles as possible here. If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I only need it to work in IE6. Thanks hi im using a CSS drop down menu, when my browser is refreshed it becomes disabled/stopsworking. im using IE browser. i got the css drop down list script from the web. can someone help me please! Unfortunately I am not very experienced and I am trying to edit some coding that has been done for me. The code is as follows <div title="[[TITLE]]" style='background-image: url ([bg]); padding: 5%; width:90%; height:100%; padding-left: 6%; padding-right: 6%; background-size: 100% 100%; '> Now what happens is the words I type in this box are beautifully laid out because of the padding... The images placed in the box should stretch border to border - but obviously don't because of the padding.... Can anyone please tell me what I can change to give my text padding but images with no padding? Thanks so much Hello -- new to this forum. My questions concerns a problem I've run into many times. I'm trying to be CSS-moral and use style sheets as much as possible, or a least place properties in the Header. But here's what I run into. Many times I find it necessary to have different properties for the same tag within the Body. Currently, I use CSS to create the Menu items at the top of each web page, an Unordered List, using the "li" tags. Ok, but I just discovered that by using a new CSS statement, I can use custom bullets in the Body's li tag: list-style-image : url(bullet.gif) . Cool!!! So, I went about making a little dog bone .gif and used it for my bullet graphic halfway down the page. Voila! It worked. Voila! I suddenly have dog bones in my menu (which I don't want !), which also use the li tag. I only know two workarounds. 1) is to go back to the BAD practice of using the taboo in-line style="images/dogbone.gif" in each li within the body and NOT put the statement in the Header style section or 2) at least try to use CSS in the header by making a class like li.bone { list-style-image : bone} and then repeat class="bone" for each li in the body, which is only slightly shorter than just putting in the style="xxx" in the first place. So, how do we handle using different style properties for the same tag within the body? Perplexed, Mike I'd like to seperate blocks of text with a horazontal rule. I'd like it to be dashed. So, I've come up with this: Quote: hr { border: none 0; border-top: 1px dashed #000; width:98%; height: 1px } However, although this works well in IE, it Firefox there is too much space between the HR and the text block under it. In other words, the text above the HR comes right up to the line, but the text under the line, there is a larger gap. Any way to close the gap? Any ideas? is it possible to modify the look of a checkbox input field with CSS? (background, check color, border, etc) thanks, --Lone I understand how to write a print.css style sheet, but I am unclear on how to use it. I want to have a link on my page that says "Printer Friendly Version" that displays the printer friendly version and lets them hit the print button on the browser to print it. I think this is the most common way to print a web page, right? So I am displaying to the screen first and the printer if they hit the button. So how do I get the print.css formatting to display instead of the screen version? Obviously I want a single markup file for both purposes. Hi, I am having trouble setting up different link styles in my site. My code is: Code:
.menu {
font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 18px;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
a.menu:link {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : none;
}
a.menu:visited {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : none;
}
a.menu:hover {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : underline;
}
a:link {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : underline;
}
a:visited {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : underline;
}
a:hover {
color : #FFFFFF;
font-weight : bold;
text-decoration : underline;
}
From what I've read this should setup a default style for all links to follow, as well as define an alternate link style for anything in the menu class. So when I use the following code: <div class="menu"><I>01</I> <a href="">HOME</a></div> .. I would have thought the link would follow the style for .menu But it doesn't. It takes the style of the default links as well. How do I properly setup an alternate link style?? Ok so what is the css substitute for the valign tag? Thanks! Basically, what i'm trying to work out is if the following is possible. Code:
.mainBodyColor {
background-color : #FFFFFF ;
color: #000000;
}
.mainBodyFont10pt {
font-size: 10pt;
<mainBodyColor>
}
.mainBodyFont14pt {
font-size: 14pt;
<mainBodyColor>
}
where <mainBodyColor> is a nested call to the style in some way.
etc etc etc
How do i go about nesting/including the mainBodyColor styling within the mainBodyFont10pt style? I know that the following doesn't work Code: <font class="mainBodyFont10pt" class="mainBodyColor "> Some text to go in here</font> What I'm trying to do is have in one place the colour and include it into many styles, so if i want to change the colour scheme of the site i just have to change it in one spot and i know that the whole site will change. Thanks in advance. |
