CSS - Nested Pseudo-selector Problem
Hi
I've got a bit of a problem. I am making a website and what I want to do is create links with block background showing an image, which changes to just pink on a mouse over. what I did was make a div, give it classname menu_items and in that div put different hyperlinks. my code: Code: /* Menu picture caption */
.menu_items a { display: block; color: #FFF; background-color: #FF0066; text-decoration: none; padding: 5px; position: absolute; }
#menu_0910_dg000 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg000.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 0px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg000:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_dg601 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg601.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 150px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg601:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_dg200 { background-image: url('img/0910_dg200.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 140px; top: 100px; left: 300px; font-size: 12pt; }
#menu_0910_dg200:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_elderly { background-image: url('img/0910_elderly.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 440px; top: 0px; left: 0px; font-size: 18pt; }
#menu_0910_elderly:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
#menu_0910_demos { background-image: url('img/0910_demos.jpg'); height: 90px; width: 890px; top: 200px; left: 0px; font-size: 20pt; }
#menu_0910_demos:hover { background-image: none; color: #FFF; }
Code: <div class="menu_items"> <a id="menu_0910_dg000" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG000 Introducing Competency-Centred Learning </a> <a id="menu_0910_dg601" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG601 Digital Video</a> <a id="menu_0910_dg200" href="0910_elderly.html">Assignment: DG200 Creative Programming for Designers</a> <a id="menu_0910_elderly" href="0910_elderly.html">Project: Elderly Interacting with the Digi-world</a> <a id="menu_0910_demos" href="0910_elderly.html">External: Demos Bar Committee</a> </div> You can see that I first used the nested selector .menu_items a, but this doesn't work with hover, so .menu_items a:hover doesn't work. Why not and how to fix?:S gr Bram Similar TutorialsForgive the subject, I'm not sure how to describe this oddity. This seems to only happen in IE, test with this snippet: Code:
<style>
a:hover span { color: Green }
</style>
<a href="#"><span>link</span></a>
One would expect the text to turn green when hovering, but it doesn't. Works fine in other browsers as it should, but not in IE. However, if you add any valid style, regardless of function, to the bare :hover pseudo-class of the anchor, it works fine. For example, this doesn't change the theoredical function at all: Code:
<style>
a:hover { visibility: inherit }
a:hover span { color: Green }
</style>
<a href="#"><span>link</span></a>
But now it works fine in IE. It doesn't recognize the psuedo-class as a parent unless there's an explict valid style for the item itself. Order doesn't appear important. I guess I'm posting in part as a PSA and just to have this odd behavior confirmed by third parties. I've done a lot of reading on IE bugs and don't recall seeing this come up. It probably stems from the lack of :hover support for non-anchor tags. Confirm/deny/comment? Hey guys. I'm still learning css so excuse some crude styles. I don't know how to explain this so grap IE 6 and click here. Scroll down the links on the left until you get to the last one "Printable Pics." As you can see for some reason the last two links jump down the page and a big blank spot appears in it's place when you hover your mouse over it. It doesn't do that in firefox or opera so I don't know whats' going on. Heres my CSS: Code: body {
text-align: center;
height: 100%;
background-image: url(images/bg_title.gif);
}
img {
border: none;
}
#wrapper {
width: 780px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
background-color: #FFFF7D;
color: #000000;
border: solid 2px #0000ff;
}
#header {
width: 780px;
height: 143px;
margin-bottom: 3px;
}
#headerImage {
width:200px;
float: left;
margin-right: 2px;
}
#headerImage img {
margin: 0px;
}
#headerLogo {
width: 577px;
float: left;
margin: 0px;
}
#headerLogo img {
margin: 0px;
}
#navagation {
width: 204px;
margin-bottom: 1px;
float: left;
margin-right: 1px;
}
.navIcon {
float: left;
margin-right: 2px;
margin-bottom: 1px;
padding: 0px;
}
.navButton {
float: left;
margin-bottom:1px;
padding: 0px;
}
a.navButton:link {
border: none;
}
a.navButton:visited {
border: none;
}
a.navButton:hover {
border: 1px solid #000000;
}
#mainContentArea {
float: left;
width: 570px;
height: 711px;
border: solid 1px #000000;
background-color: #ffffff;
margin-bottom: 3px;
}
#footer {
height: 1px;
margin-top: -1px;
clear: both;
overflow: hidden;
}
Thanks in advance! -Tim Hi everyone, Been racking my brains trying to figure out why a class is not being applied to a div, then i narrowed it down and realised that the ID selector is always taking precedence to the class attribute. Consdier this html page: Quote: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Test Page</title> <style type="text/css"> #container { background-color: red; width: 100px; height: 50px; } .change_bg { background-color: green; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="container" class="change_bg" ></div> </body> </html> The div's background color comes out red and not green, as one would expect. Why is this happening? aren't styles supposed to be cascading? isn't that what CSS is all about? I can use !important but i want to know why it's not doing what is expected. Many thanks Hello friends How can i define a css rule with an ID selector for two or more different ID's for an <div> element thanks Why does my third style rule have no effect? I thought the "A > B" was read as applying the rule to B if it was a child of A? Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<style>
div.large_title {
font-family: Trebuchet MS;
font-size: 18pt;
line-height: 20pt;
color: #003366;
}
div.quickpick {
border: 1px solid #003366;
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 250px;
text-align: center;
}
div.quickpick > div.large_title {
font-weight: bold;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="quickpick">

</html>
Also, how can I add top and bottom margin to a text string? Do I use Margin or Line Height? Hi, I'm currently designing a Wordpress skin for someone and trying to style the navigation using CSS. Given that Wordpress is so popular, I expect that someone has encountered this before - but I can't find anything about this particular problem. Basically, I'm having problems achieving the correct precedence in the CSS cascade for certain elements of my page (navigation) design. In one part of the CSS I've had to use !important to get it to behave appropriately, but then I have another part which I need to be able to denote as "very important" but I don't think this is possible. I get the feeling that I can probably do this without !important since I'm aware that it is abusing its purpose a bit (i.e. accessibility?) and instead I could do it according to the selector's specificity if I understood it better: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/casca...cascading-order Here's a HTML snippet of what I have in the navigation: html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="sidebar"> <ul> <li class="page_item current_page_item"> <a title="Home" href="home.php">Home</a> <ul> <li class="page_item"> <a title="Directors" href="home.php?page_id=12">Directors</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="page_item"><a title="News" href="home.php?page_id=3">News</a> </li> </ul> </div>
I'm then using the following CSS to attempt to style this part: css Code: Original - css Code #sidebar { float: left; width: 149px; padding: 1em 0; } #sidebar ul { list-style: none; } #sidebar ul li { margin: 0.4em 0.8em; padding: 1px; } #sidebar ul li a { font-size: 1.5em; font-weight: 500; padding: 0.3em; text-decoration: none; color: #000; background: #FFFACD; display: block; border: 1px solid blue; } #sidebar ul li a:hover { color: #bb2a2a; } #sidebar ul li ul li { display: none; } #sidebar ul li.current_page_item ul li, #sidebar ul li.current_page_parent ul li { /* sub-menu item */ display: inline; padding: 0; margin: 0; border: none; } #sidebar ul li.current_page_item, #sidebar ul li.current_page_parent { border: 1px solid green; } #sidebar ul li.current_page_item ul li a, #sidebar ul li.current_page_parent ul li a { /* sub-menu item link */ font-size: 1.2em; padding: 0.1em 0 0.2em 17px; background: #FFFACD url(images/sub-dot.gif) no-repeat left; } #sidebar ul li.current_page_item a, #sidebar ul li.current_page_parent ul li a.current_page_item { color: #bb2a2a !important; border: none !important; } .current_page_item ul li a { color: #000 !important; border: none !important; } #sidebar ul li.current_page_parent ul li a, .current_page_parent a { border: none !important; } #sidebar ul li.current_page_item ul li a:hover, #sidebar ul li.current_page_parent a:hover { color: #bb2a2a; border: none !important; }
Using "View Formatted Source" in FF I'm finding that the color defined in ".current_page_item ul li a" is over-ruled by "#sidebar ul li.current_page_item a, #sidebar ul li.current_page_parent ul li a.current_page_item". As you can perhaps tell, the current_page_item class is set on the list item that matches the current page, and if the current page is within a sub-section (i.e. it has a parent), current_page_parent will be set to the parent list item. This gives me a navigation such as: > Home >> Directors If we're on the Home page (as in example code above), I want that to have the red colored text, but Directors to be black. If Directors is the current page, I want that to be red, and Home to be black. Basically anything that isn't the current page should be black... At the moment (because .current_page_item ul li a doesn't seem to work) I'm getting red text for Home and Directors when on the Home page... I want Directors to be left black in this situation. N.B. It's more complicated than above because I also want to do some styling with borders on the top level list items (well, the a element within), but if someone can point out where I'm going wrong with the above I think I should be able to sort the rest out... Thanks in advance - please let me know if you need more details! I am Having a problem with IE6 and DIV's which use blocks to highlight links. The problem is I want to have different colour links. It seems to work OK in FF but not IE 6. Code:

Hope the above scripts can be viewed easily. I just started using css, and for some reason I can't get this simple template to function in Mozilla Firefox. I don't know how nested divs behave, but it's really frustrating. The problem is that i have two main divs within one encompassing div. The encompassing div is supposed to expand in height based upon the height and/or position of the nested two divs, but it only expands based one of these nested divs. These nested divs have divs inside them too. This only happened in mozilla firefox. In IE it works. I'm not using floats or anything. I don't have it up on a site, but if necessary I'll post a pic of the rendering. Thanks in advance. Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I've been searching the web on how to fix this but haven't got anything yet. In IE, my nested div (class="BioContent") stays within the parent container (id="BioBox"), but does not in FF. Right now I am using width: 100%; I've tried defining the width in pixels, but if I get it to work in FF, then it isn't wide enough in IE. Any ideas?

i have nested tables but table inside is inheriting properties from table outside. i have written classes for both tables in css and i dnt want inside table to inherit. what can i do? I'm having a problem with a float property placing a nested div outside of a parent box. I've ran validation on both the XHTML/CSS. Both are coming up with no errors. Heres the DIV snippet: Code: <!-- Div snippet -->
<!-- start main -->
<div id="main">
<div class="mainbx">
<!-- top border -->
<!-- top left -->
<div class="tl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top center -->
<div class="tc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top right -->
<div class="tr">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top border -->
<!-- bdy1 -->
<div class="bd">
<!-- content area -->
<div id="leftcol">
<pThis column ( leftcol ID ) is correctly placed.</p>
</div>
<div id="rightcol">
<!-- Rounded corner dialog begins -->
<div class="dialog">
<!-- top border -->
<!-- top left -->
<div class="tl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top center -->
<div class="tc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top right -->
<div class="tr">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- top border -->
<!-- bdy1 -->
<div class="bd">
<div class="c">
<div class="s">
<!-- content area -->
<h1>This is an inline dialog.</h1>
<!-- content area -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- bdy1 -->
<!-- botom border -->
<!-- bottom left -->
<div class="bl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom center -->
<div class="bc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom right -->
<div class="br">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- botom border -->
</div>
</div>
<!-- content area -->
</div>
<!-- bdy1 -->
<!-- botom border -->
<!-- bottom left -->
<div class="bl">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom center -->
<div class="bc">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- bottom right -->
<div class="br">
<div class="c"></div>
</div>
<!-- botom border -->
</div> <!-- end mainbx -->
<div id="footer">footer text</div>
</div> <!-- end main -->
If I place a float property in the left or right col ID, the whole ID is placed outside of the mainbx class. For instance: Code: /* example w float */
#rightcol {
float: right;
height: auto;
width: 500px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 35px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
This is how it looks: http://b.imagehost.org/0176/inc_plcmnt.jpg URL Click to view larger image! Now if I remove the float and add a position property: Code: #rightcol {
position:relative;
right:-320px;
top:-190px;
height: auto;
width: 500px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-right: 25px;
margin-right: 0px;
}
This is how the rightcol is placed: http://d.imagehost.org/0643/cor_plcmnt.jpg URL Click to view larger image! It seems better, but if the black box is re-sized eventually it will end up outside mainbx class ( the purple box ). This leads me to belive that the problem has something to do with nesting. The weird thing is if I add lots of text to the black dialog box, mainbx re-sizes. Any ideas of how to fix this? Thanks for any help or ideas. Hi, I've a problem designing with CSS. This is the html code: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <link href="structure-yellow.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="main"> <div id="headimage">test</div> <div id="greybar">test</div> </div> </center> </body> </html> And the attached css file is: Code:
div#main {
border: solid #000000 1px;
padding: 3px;
width: 780px;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
#headimage {
vertical-align: middle;
height: 100px;
background: #FFFF00;
}
#greybar {
position: relative;
top: 3px;
background: #CCCCCC;
}
Since the headimage and the greybar are nested within the main div, the 3px padding of the "main" div should be respected, however it's not. What I think is happenning is that the 3px padding of the main div is respected for the expected greybar position, and it is not updated after setting the "#greybar" position property on the CSS file. How can I solve this problem? I know that I could achieve the same effect adding a 3px white bottom border on the "#headimage" class, but I'm looking for more elegant solution based on block positioning. Any ideas? Thanks, Caste My website (OPM) uses css for all the layout. Sometimes, when I load a new page within the website, the entire webpage appears nested within one of the layers. When I reload the page, this effect disappears right away or after a few reloads. It appears about 10% of the time and occurs in several different browsers (i.e. Firefox, IE). Nested webpage error URL Normal page URL I don't know why this is happening, especially since it's only part of time. Please help! Thank you, Misha So does anyone use div tags only and no tables at all? Not even for tabular data? Okay, I have a page on which I want a banner div with a links div underneath it, a left menu bar div, and a content div. I've put them all in a container div. However, on some pages the menu bar is longer than the content and on others the content is longer than the menu bar. I want the menu bar and the content bar to always be equal heights but adjust to the length of content. Here's the gist of the code: Code:
#container {
text-align: left;
background:#000064;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: 650;
height:100%;
border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;
}
#banner {
background: #fff;
width: 650;
}
#piclinks {
background: rgb(00,00,64);
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
width: 650;
}
#links {
position: absolute;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-right: 1px dotted #fff;
width: 140px;
font-family: verdana, arial, georgia, sans-serif;
color: #fff;
font-size: 8pt;
background: rgb(00,00,64);
}
#content {
position: relative;
float: right;
width: 500;
font-family: verdana, arial, georgia, sans-serif;
font-size: 8pt;
color: #fff;
padding: 5px;
}
I've looked at a few resources, including the 'PIE' site, but haven't been able to quite figure it out. Thanks I have set up a couple vertical boxes and filled them with 'column' boxes all nested within the parent vertical boxes. My problem is when, say, box #3 from the left has more content than the furthest left box, instead of stretching the parent to accommodate the content and push down the other parent horizontal box below, the content just flows behind the lower horizontal box. If the content in the furthest left box is the longest, this problem doesnt occur. The parent box is stretched to fit.

#content p { font-size: 24px; }
.smalltext p { font-size: 12px; }
Then, I create a #content div in my HTML with three paragraphs in it. I want the middle paragraph to have the .smalltext class, like this: http://www.toprival.com/temp/css_question.gif With the CSS the way I have it, the font size (12px) of the .smalltext paragraph is ignored. But if I change the CSS so both selectors are IDs, or so both are classes (and update the HTML accordintly), it works. Why is that? if you go he http://www.tvshow-caps.co.uk/showPics.php?showid=24&season=6&episode=1 you will see that the nested list do not expand but OVERLAP in IE. firefox displays is ok. EDIT1: i have fixed the nested list problem (i was using height property which IE doesnt like) second problem: now IE doesnt apply the border-bottom property properly (use the above link) Hello all. I've got a layout with three columns. The first column contains the navigation and the second two are variable content. All the columns can be any length, and consist of any number of divs; each div is a bordered block of variable-sized content. The problem is if I want to float an image around some text in the second or third column. Since the image is floating, its container doesn't extend fully, and the image overlaps the border and the block below it. However, if I put a "clear: both" spacer within the block, then the container clears elements in the left or right columns, and extends way too far down! What I really need is a way to just clear a single level of nesting, but "clear" seems to be pretty much all or nothing. I've also tried the pseudoclass :after trick to extend the box, but that didn't appear to do any good. It just added the content inside the border of each block, but doesn't enclose the image at all. I hope somebody has suggestions - I actually haven't found anything about this problem, but perhaps I'm just looking for the wrong terms. It seems like a fairly fundamental thing to do... Thanks! |
