CSS - Assign Styles To A Specific Table, Without Using An Id Or Class
I have a unique problem:
I am working inside of a content management system. This system uses tables EVERYWHERE. I need to place a simple border around the table (or tbody tag, which does define a style, but still no class, and covers the same area i'm looking to place the border around) defining the main body of the site. I cannot edit this table to use an id or a class, and unfortunately, unlike in the past, I cannot hijack this table's class because this is one where it is not defined. I have tried using Code:
<style type="text/css">
tbody[style]
{
border: 1px solid #000000 !important;
}
</style>
which works, but only in firefox, and not IE7, or Google Chrome. I'm guessing i've exhausted my options. But i'm not sure. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Also, I do hope i've explained what i'm trying to do clearly. I sometimes have a tendency to not clarify certain things as much as i should Similar TutorialsIf I want to have all of my <td> flags to look a certain way within a <div> tag but not anywhere else how do I define the style to do this? Is there no way I can replace document.all.registration_password_length_error.style.visibility = 'hidden'; document.all.registration_password_length_error.style.display = 'none'; with document.all.registration_password_length_error.style.class= 'classname'; ?? When I try it I get object expected errors. Greetings, friends! I have a quick question about CSS. I am fairly versed in CSS 2.0 and the selectors that are used within. However, I am not sure if any specific type of selector is available to help me do what I want. I am looking for a selector that will define styles for an element that contains specific children. To give you an example, let's say that I have an image on my page. That image is assigned the class of "alignleft". Now, let's say that I make that image into a link. I would like to find a CSS selector that allows me to assign style definitions to that link. Let's say my code looks like: Code: <a href="http://www.example.com/"><img src="example-pic.png" class="alignleft" alt="Example Picture" /></a> Now, I know if it was the other way around: Code: <a class="alignleft" href="http://www.example.com/"><img src="example-pic.png" alt="Example Picture" /></a> I could use something like: Code: .alignleft > img However, I am not sure if there is any way to go up a level in CSS. I would envision it looking something like: Code: a < img.alignleft but I can't find anything in the CSS spec that refers to instances like that. Does anyone know of anything? For instance, I would want a spec that looks something like: Quote: E < F - Matches any E element that is the parent of an element F. The specific reason I'm looking for something like this is that I am using the class of "external" to assign a background image to all of my links that lead away from our Web site. However, if that link is an image rather than text, I want to set the background of my link to "none" so that the background image does not interfere with the image itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Hey, I just started learning all of this stuff, and I had a question. I'm trying to set it up so that in my CSS I have two different sets of styles for links. Technically they are the same styles, I just want this class and this other class named differently, and it wont let me. It keeps taking the second one back to default. Is there a way I can get around that and get it to work? Thanks, JennyO For example lets say I have this line of code and I want to select the userid in order to style a particular user on a site/forum. <div class='username'>Test <span class='userid'>(223647)</span></div> How do I go about selecting the 223647 ID so I can assign it a specific style? Thank you in advance for any help. Hi there. I am trying to create the attached image in style sheets. I have done everything, but now I'm stuck on the border of the bottom TD. Anyone got any suggestions on how to do this? i have a table that i'm using within a div. here is the style #content { float: left; padding: 0 20em 4em 3em; } #content table .content { border: 1; bordercolor: #fff; width: 100%; cellspacing: 0; cellpadding: 0; } when i reference the style for the table within the div, nothing is applying. not sure what im doing wrong here. <div id="content"> <table class="content"> please advise.. i'm guessing its syntax Hi, I'm trying to create a CSS for a specific table, not all tables, the following code uses the code I need: PHP Code: table { border-collapse:collapse; } table, th, td { border: 1px solid grey; padding:15px; } How can assign/rename this to say mytable, if I change the top 'table' to .mytable still all tables on my page are changed Thanks for any help. Sanj i have the following css: Code: .table1 {
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 50%;
margin: 24px;
font-size: 1.1em;
}
.table1 th {
background: #3e83c9;
color: #fff;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 2px 11px;
text-align: left;
border-right: 1px solid #fff;
line-height: 1.2;
}
.table1 td {
padding: 6px 11px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #95bce2;
vertical-align: top;
}
.table1 td * {
padding: 6px 11px;
}
.table1 tr.alt td {
background: #ecf6fc;
}
.table1 tr.over td, tr:hover td {
background: #bcd4ec;
}
However all tr and td's now getting a hover effect. i tried several methods but I'm to unpracticed with css. Grtzz whitehat Hi, CSS whizz needed! I'm currently formatting a pre-determined HTML website using CSS. The website has been formatted with ID's for all tables and cells so I can specify which colour I'd like the background of the cells. The HTML is like this: Code: <table id="Description">
<tr><th class="title">Text</th></tr>
<tr><td class="data"><div class="ggcode">Text</div></td></tr>
</table>
So I've been formatting it like this: Code: div#Main
table#Description
.title {
border-color:#F0E68C;
background-color:#F0E68C; }
div#Main
table#Description
td.data {
border-color:#F0E68C;
background-color:#F0E68C; }
However the last table is like this: Code: <table id="recentPosts">
<tr>
<th class="title">
Recent Forum Posts
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<table class="data">
<tr>
<th>Topic</th>
<th>User</th>
<th>Posted At</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="clickable forumTitle"><a href="link">Text></td>
<td class="username">Text</td>
<td class="date">Text12/04/2009 03:25 PM</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="clickable forumTitle"><a href="link">Text</a></td>
<td class="username">Text</td>
<td class="date">Text</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I'm able to format the cells within the <table id="recentPosts">, but I can't alter the cells within <table class="data"> - the table within the table. Any ideas how I would go about doing this? Thanks in advance Trying to create a table psuedo class so that the specific attributes apply to the target table. Not sure if my syntax is correct. What I would like is to call the ID DataTable and have it cascade thru the tr, td...... Here are my tags: #DataTable { width:auto; border-collapse: collapse; border:1px solid #cccccc; border-spacing :20px;} #DataTable tr { border-spacing:20px;} #DataTable td.headerDescription{ width: 240px;} #DataTable td.fundCell { width: 240px; text-indent:40px;} #DataTable td.percentageCell { width: 60px; vertical-align:middle; text-align:center; border-right:1px solid #cccccc;} #DataTable td.seperator { border-top:1px solid #cccccc;} #DataTable td.assetCategory { width: 240px; text-indent:20px; vertical-align:middle;} #DataTable td.headerColumn { font-weight:bold ; width:40px; background-color:#F0F0F0 ; text-align :center;} #DataTable td.leftHeaderColumn { font-weight :bold ; width:40px; background-color:#E0E0E0 ; text-align :center ; border-left:1px solid #cccccc;} #DataTable td.assetClass { width: 240px; vertical-align:middle; font-weight :bold;} #DataTable td.performanceCell { width:60px; background-color:#E0E0E0 ; text-align :center ; vertical-align :middle;} Im using this to make an onscroll effect Code:
table.left {border-collapse:collapse;
float:left;
margin-left:10px;
margin-right:10px;
background:#8f8f8f;
padding:5px;
color:#000000;
font-family:Verdana;
text-decoration:none;
}
td {padding-right:10px;
padding-left:10px;
padding-top:8px;
padding-bottom:8px;}
td.bg:hover {
background:url(images/yellow.png);
padding-right:10px;
padding-left:10px;
padding-top:8px;
padding-bottom:8px;
}
And the links don't format with the typical css markup Code:
a:active {color:#000000;
font-family:Verdana;
text-decoration:none;}
a:link {color:#000000;
font-family:Verdana;
text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color:#000000;
font-family:Verdana;
text-decoration:none;}
Ive tried a couple different things like making td.bg:link, td.bg:active with the specifications->no luck Note:this is in IE Nevermind...I just figured it out..used a link class and set the visited attribute Hi, just wondered if it is possible to assign a Div Id to a layer using a variable please. I pass some values to a page which then creates a number of layers based on the variables, but i dont know how to assign a different name to each of them Thanks very much Ed hey, I got a table, every <td> in the table got the css class .regular. (<td class='regular'>). When the user moves their mouse over a row, that row should change color. This works with the following code: <tr onmouseover='this.className=\"hoverRow\"'> However, this only works if the td's in that row have no class set yet. And since all td's in my table have a class set allready, i cant use this. How can i overwrite the class of the td's by the class for the whole row? thanks in advance I was quite proud of that title, especially at 4 minutes past monday. Anyway - I digress. I am trying to create a scrolling news-type box using a div which is clipped so it looks like it scrolls up and down inside a 'window'. I have not declared what height i want the scrolling div to be as i never know how much text will be in it. When you scroll all the way to the bottom, I want there to be a way so that it stops scrolling - and for this i need the height of the div. Is there anyway of finding the height at all, or will i have to use a fixed height div. If my explanation is a touch wooly, the prototype page is here Using the following example: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Notice how, in IE6 (works fine in FF), when the secondary style named 'on' is added, all 3 links in the 2nd set display the properties of the style: Code: a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on
{
color: green;
}
(since it is last in the list) rather than the style specified by their respective numbers (i.e. 'one', 'two' or 'three'). Is there a way to overcome this in IE. Hi all I'm stumbling over the oddities of IE's hasLayout again and again, and often I can fix it using the properties overflow:auto and display:inline-block: Code: div#container {
overflow: hidden; /* For clearing floating inner elements */
display: inline-block; /* For regarding margins of inner elements etc. */
}
(Of course I only assign the display value to IE only.) As far as I could see so far, assigning these properties does not affect the expected behavior of the element in any negative way. Now I thought: why not assign them to all div elements as default? Code: div {
overflow: auto;
display: inline-table;
}
I didn't test this yet, but as long as the whole website's other CSS and the whole XHTML structure are clean (speak: the elements are only used for purposes they are intended to be used), this shouldn't have any negative consequences, should it? Thanks for your opinion, Josh I've read several forums and know that the technique I'm trying to achieve is possible, however I can't seem to get it to work. Basically I'm trying to shift the background positions of both the list item I'm hovering over and the next list item. I'm sure its just a syntax error and not a logic error, anyways the code is below - any help would be greatly appreciated! Code:
HTML Code
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="#" class="search"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="battery"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="cart"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="contact"></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
.search, .contact, .cart, .battery
{
width:100px;
height:30px;
margin-left:-1px;
display:block;
}
.search
{
background-image:url(Images/search.png);
}
.contact
{
background-image:url(Images/contact.png);
}
.cart
{
background-image:url(Images/cart.png);
}
.battery
{
background-image:url(Images/battery.png);
}
ul li a.search:hover
{
background-position:0px 60px;
}
ul li a.search:hover ul li a[class=battery]
{
background-position:0px 60px;
}
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 |
