CSS - Quick Easy Question
I have the hardest time w/ selectors and inheritance (esp nested div's and selectors). Can someone tell me if I have the following code, how do I select it in the css?
---html--- Code:
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="container">
<div id="banner">
</div><!-- END BANNER -->
<div id="navbar">
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html"><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li><a href="index.html"><span>Boats</span></a></li>
<li><a href="index.html"><span>Cars</span></a></li>
<li><a href="index.html"><span>RV's</span></a></li>
<li><a href="index.html"><span>Aircraft</span></a></li>
<li><a href="index.html"><span>Contact</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div><!--END NAVBAR -->
</div><!-- END CONTAINER -->
</div><!-- END WRAPPER -->
</body>
---css--- THIS DOESN'T WORK Code:
navbar span
{
display: none;
}
navbar ul
{
list-style: none;
display: block;
position: relative;
}
I guess when do I use # and when do I use . and when do I use them together? A good link that uses NESTED selectors would help because most examples don't include that. Similar Tutorialsfigured it out. don't know how to delete Ok, this is a problem I've never bothered fixing but I'm sure it's something simple. On virtually every horizontal CSS rollover menu I've ever built, IE7 always leaves a tiny artifact of the rollover background color on click. Here's my latest example(I'm using IE8's compat mode, but I've checked this in IE7 itself before): http://tinyurl.com/y6uf4zd CSS and XHTML are both valid. Here's the code I always use (but customize for the project): Code:
#navbar{
position:absolute;
top:162px;
left:47px;
width:448px;
height:26px;
color:white;
font-size:.75em;
}
#navbar ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
color:#FFFFFF;
white-space:nowrap;
}
#navbar li{
list-style-type:none;
display:inline;
}
#navbar li a{
display:block;
float:left;
margin-left:8px;
text-decoration:none;
padding:.4em .75em;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
#navbar li a:hover{
background-color:#CCCCCC;
}
#navbar a:link, #navbar a:visited{
color: #FFFFFF;
text-decoration: none;
}
Go ahead and click a menu item in FF, and then click one in IE7. It never fails. IE7 always leaves a piece of the hover background-color to the right of the LI element. If you highlight the navbar, they go away... but it's very annoying. Lemme know where I n00bed. Thanks all. This may be a dumb questions as I think I already know the answer to it. Is there any way to protect your css page from others. I would like to protect my websites against those who want to just copy them. Ofcourse these are live websites and do not need to be penalized by Google in any way if it is possible. I haven't heard or seen anything on this but I knew you guys would know for sure. Thank You! Can either someone direct me to a webpage or help me out in figuring out what to do when one css style interferes with another? I have a couple different style sheets and when I load them together in one page one style is taking over another one. Thanks. Hi all. I've used tables to layout websites for a long time, and I've finally decided to start using CSS like everyone else is doing. I'm having a hard time understanding why this is happening: Check out this site at: http://216.69.165.177/ Why is it that when I increase the padding in the left div, it causes the content in the right column to be placed beneath the content in the left div. Is that because adding padding adds length to a div? I've never seen this behavior before with tables. I'm a little confused by it. Thanks in advance, Gregg edited I had the wrong code I have the following html/css code. I was wondering if this is the only way to do a multi column layout where all the columns fit to the size of the largest one?? I am newer to css to be warned. Is there any other way besides layering to have perfectly even columns? Code:

i have a pre maid script that i want to modify.it is all css and im not to good at it yet. there is a menu box.very plain.i want to make an image to replace that plain css. i have this Code: #menu table { font-family:Verdana,Tahoma,Arial; font-size:8pt; font-weight: bold; color:#FFFFFF; background-color:#003399; }
how could i link it to an image instead? Hi, Im not sure what the difference between an ID and a class. I was reading an article and It seems that a ID and a class would do the same thing. Thanks to who can clear this up. For my paragraph elements I want the text-indent: property to apply to every new line..... Instead of just the first line... How is this done? thank ye. i have a div which will contain a list of user inputted names. i want the div to simulate a select box, so i need the width of the div to match the contents: Code: <div id="dselect"> <div class="arrow" style="float: right"><img src="arrow.jpg"></div> <img src="icons/icon1.jpg" /> Label 1 </div> I am using this script: http://sperling.com/examples/menuh/ It works great, but I would like the parent to retain its hover color when you are hovering over its children so that you can visually see which parent you went to to get to the children. Does that make sense? Thanks! problem solved How do you make a div without margins that spans the entire screen. There seems to be an automatic margin on either side of the screen even when i set no margins and 100% width.

I didn't put in separeate file for CSS just because this makes it easier for you guys...Ok, if you copy and paste into a browser. You'll see same thing happening in everyone. How can I get that red part onto the right column? I gave it a float: right; since it's supposed to push it up as far as possible and to the right (left is that way so figured right is same). Also, just a quick JS question, doesn't need a new thread. Why does FF do the function? Look at the text box and click the input box and see what it does. No other browser does it. Any help? Also, how do I get the very top nav to be smaller. It's presumably the font-size of it. But I can't locate it in my CSS. New set of eyes there please PS: If you see any unneeded CSS that isn't doing anything, then tell me. Thanks. I am trying to get my container to be 100% the height of the browser window but have so far been unsuccessful, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

Is it ok to nest a div tag inside a table? It appears to work correctly. Thanks! I am completely new to CSS. I usually use A LOT OF tables in my designs, and want to switch to CSS now. Anyways, I am trying to put 2 divs next to each other. here is what I have http://www.findagoodhost.com/2/ I'd like to make them as if I put a table with 1 row, 2 columns, but with CSS positioning. Any help would be apreciated. Thanks say if i have a css file such as #title {text:indent= 1In;........} .content{.......} how do i refer to it in my html? <p class = "title">welcome......</p> similarly for the ID <p id = content>welcome.....</p> i have tried something along thesel ines but it dont work! |
