CSS - Css Formatting In External Sheet Not Being Applied
Hi,
I have a XHTML 4.0 file and CSS in a separate file. The CSS if included within the <head> section of the HTML file works correctly and displays the page with the right formatting. However, when I move the CSS to a separate file and just use the <link> tag within the <head> section of the HTML file to link to this CSS file, the formatting is not applied. I am not sure what to do. Any quick help is greatly appreciated. Thanks xworder Similar TutorialsHi... I have a slightly confusing problem. I have an external sheet which all works fine except the colour of links before they are visited, active, etc. (It worked fine but one day stopped without any intervention on my part that I know about!) The active link, visited link and hover link colours work as required and as specified in the external sheet, but it is the original link that does not, defaulting to the, erm, default colour. My external sheet is as follows: body {background-image: url("images/logo.jpg")} type="text/css"; a:link {color: #c0c0c0;} a:visited {color: #FF80FF;} a:hover {color: #FF00FF;} a:active {color: #FF80C0;} h1.c1 { text-align: center; font-size: 46pt; color: #bb8ec8 } h1.c2 { margin-left:130px; font-size: 26pt; color: #bb8ec8 } h4 { text-align: center; color: #b15fb8 } Any idea why is isn't working? Cheers Hello I'm having trouble with displaying a background image in a div. It worked fine with embedded CSS but when I changed the CSS to external, the text loads but the bg image doesnt. I'll post some code to explain it... This is in the external style sheet: #navbgtop { position:absolute; left:38px; top:185px; width:194px; height:18px; z-index:2; background-image: url(images/navbartop.jpg); } and yes of course I have made the proper link to it in the <head> tag: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/nav.css" media="all" /> For some reason the background image wont display. Any ideas? One more question also, does it matter if I use media="all" for the whole website? Or do I even need to bother using media=xyz ? I heard most browsers don't even read that as of yet. Ok, I just started a new website. I have been putting all of the html on every page. So, when I change one small thing on my Nav Bar, I have to go to every single page and change it! There has to be an easier way, right? Isn't it by using external sytle sheets? I tried this code in my homepage, but it isn't working: Code: <head> <STYLE TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="screen, projection"> <!-- @import url(http://www.freewebs.com/ohhdanggggraphics/BASIC.css); --> </STYLE> </head> Basically on my site the only thing I want to change from page to page is the information in the center table. How would I do this? Thanks for your help My Website Hi all, very new at this so please pardon. I am attempting to format a series of 3 columns (using the CSS holy grail) into the main body of a .asp page. Everything goes smoothly, I have the columns looking exactly as I want them, however the style sheet appears to be causing problems with the header and footer of my asp page. Namely, it has caused the previously smoothed corner images (.gifs) in the header and footer to have a 90 degree thick white border around them. I assume that my style sheet for the body of the page is affecting elements in the header and footer as well, causing them to look odd. Is there a way to have a style sheet only affect part of my code locally and not all of it globally? Or make certain parts of my code immune to the style sheet via some sort of markup? Thanks! FYI for those interested: the style sheet I am trying to use to format my divs (frame(content left, content right, content center and content header)) is body { text-align:center; border:0px solid #000; } #frame { width:830px; margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-top:auto; padding:0px; text-align:left; } #contentleft { width:175px; padding:0px; left:auto; top:auto; float:left; background:#fff; border:0px solid #000; } #contentcenter { width:480px; padding:10px; float:left; text-align:left; background:#B7C8EE; } #contentright { width:175px; padding:0px; right:auto; top: auto; float:right; background:#fff; border:0px solid #000; } #contentheader { background:#345EA2; width:auto; } p,h1,pre { margin:0px 10px 10px 10px; } h1 { font-size:14px; padding-top:10px; } #contentheader h1 { font-size:14px; padding:10px; margin:0px; } #contentright p { font-size:10px} The .asp page I want to use this style sheet on is <!--#include file="headerauth.asp"--> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> <body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="sddm.css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="box2.css" /> <STYLE> A:link {font-weight:bold} A:hover {background:white;} A:hover {background-color:white;} A:visited {color:green} A:active {color:red} </STYLE> <!--#include file="footer.asp"--> The sheet appears to be affecting both my headerauth.asp and footer.asp which I do not want it to do. Is there a way to stop it from propogating to both of these other files? Or perhaps wrap the code for each of these in some sort of a tag that tells it not to use the css? Hi All, How can i apply style to following table? Class attribute is not working. following is the code. function links(){ var xmlDoc=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.xmlDOM") xmlDoc.async="false"; xmlDoc.load("ticker.xml") ; xmlObj=xmlDoc.documentElement; nodes=xmlDoc.documentElement.childNodes; document.write("<table border=1 align=left >"); for( var count = 0; count<nodes.length; count++){ document.write("<tr>"); document.write("<td>"); document.write("<a href='" + (xmlObj.childNodes(count).getAttribute('URL')) + "'>" + (nodes.item(count).text) + "</a><br>"); document.write("</td>"); document.write("</tr>"); } document.write("</table>"); } Please guide me for the same. Thanks in advance I need to modify an external style sheet so that background images on each page can be changed. Please help I've been involved in building an intranet site with about 1200 pages. Now that it's been launched we've found problems in printing many of the pages - there are blank pages printing before the content, probably because of floated divs being pushed down when the width is restricted to A4. (That's a guess). Now I know that what we should have done was create a print style sheet which would have solved this problem easily, but if we do that we'll have to place the link to it in every page, which involves quite a lot of signing-out of 1200 pages etc. I'm prepared to do that if there isn't another way but I wondered if there's any way the existing external style sheet can be amended so it loads (imports) the print styles dependent on some statement or other. I'm doubtful, but if anyone knows of a method that involves editing the one stylesheet rather than the 1200 pages I'd love to hear it! Hey, I'm a CSS noob, and I'm having some trouble with centering the content of my page. When I have the coding as an internal style sheet the page is centered, but when I put it in an external style sheet it looks the exact same...except for that it's left aligned. All I do is copy and paste it, but it change the layout around? Any tips? Hi. In my external style sheet i have this: Code:
body
{
margin-left: 100;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
I am completely new at CSS and am only doing it because supposedly my tables are out of fashon! Thanks Matt I hardly ever use css for thimgs like backgrounds, but I have a freelance client that has alot of interesting ideas about how a good website should look so I'm trying to make him happy. When I have: body { background: url('resources/assets/background.jpg') no-repeat bottom left; } in the extranal css it doesn't work. If I put it into the page it works fine. None of the online css resources I've looked at mention why this should be. I've even tried using the complete http://www.server.com/blah/blah/ address and I get the same results. Does this just not work from an external css, or am I missing something? Thanks y'all. I am using a single gif file as an image sprite and want to link the file name in another style sheet so i can reuse this sheet without having to have many copys of the style sheet with a different file names example: Currently like this Code: #store{left:-200px;width:158px;}
#store{background:url('mred.gif') -150px -161px;}
#store a:hover{background: url('mred.gif') -150px 0;}
#fourms{left:0px;width:158px;}
#fourms{background:url('mred.gif') -304px -161px;}
#fourms a:hover{background: url('mred.gif') -304px 0;}
want like this
#home{left:-200px ;width:150px;}
#home{background:inherit;background-position: 0 -161px;}
#home a:hover{background-position: 0 0;}
with the background:url('mred.gif') specified in another style sheet once insted of repeating over the entire sheet. effectively so i can just change the other external style sheet to change the gif file and keep this one the same. HOW? possible? I am attempting to add what at first glance looks to be a gradient border down the sides of my container, and it has worked fine in IE, but in Firefox, said style element stops after a certain header box, before the page moves into the main content of the site (which has elements floated). Please have a look at the following page in both IE and Firefox, and you will see the problem: tombstonemedia.com/noise/venues.htm and the stylesheet for this page is: tombstonemedia.com/noise/style.css If anyone knows what exactly it is that I need to tweak in order to make the effect be cross-browser compatible, please let me know. This is a bit puzzling for me. I read that I can apply css to something based on id, which I have been doing, thats how my template is made, USING CSS :S. I need to apply css to an H2 that already has css applied to it but has a different id. Here is the page I need to do it to, view it and see why I need to. http://www.coldfusionzone.com/index.php?p=7 Look down towards where the comments are and youll see Leave a comment I need to change that to where it expands up to 40 pixels from the side, and has a black background without the stinkin date pic next to is . Now that Im talking about it im confused again. Ha ha I had it down pat but now that I need help im confused thats strange. But I need to apply a css style to it when it already has a css it.... Here the css style that controls it is on top and the css style im trying to use is on the bottom. PHP Code: div#content h2 { background: #000 url(images/date.jpg) no-repeat left center; background-color: #232323; color: #5F5F5F; padding: 2px 15px 2px 85px; border: 1px solid #494949; margin-left: 40px; margin-right: 220px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0; font-size: 95%; font-weight: normal; } div#content#postcomment h2 { background: #000; background-color: #000000; color: #5F5F5F; padding: 2px 15px 2px 85px; border: 1px solid #494949; margin-left: 40px; margin-right: 220px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0; font-size: 95%; font-weight: normal; } For the life of me I cant find out what code that will align the image correctly. Currently the "previous" button on the page below has a gap on the left, and is being cropped on the right. http://zombiemod.com/rm/nina2/main.php?g2_itemId=13 This is the image im talking about: http://zombiemod.com/rm/nina2/theme...ntrols-left.png I guess if I remove the space to the left of the previous button, it will drag the image to the corrct position so all of the image is being displayed without having the right side cropped. Here is the HTML for the button: Code: <ul id="control-buttons"> <li><button id="controls-left"> <img src="themes/ajaxian/images/controls-left.png" alt="Left" /> </button></li> <li><button id="controls-play"> <img src="themes/ajaxian/images/controls-right.png" alt="Play" /> </button></li> <li><button id="controls-right"> <img src="themes/ajaxian/images/controls-right.png" alt="Right" /> </button></li> </ul> This is the code I used to try and set the correct height of the buttons: Code: #slideshow-controls button {
width: 44px;
height: 59px;
/*margin: 0;
padding: 0;*/
background-color: #000;
border: none;
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
}
Hi I think this is some kind of IE 6 bug I am adding some elemnts to the page using the following code: etc... my_new_node3 = wd.createElement('span'); my_new_node3.setAttribute("class", "beep4"); my_new_node3.appendChild(wd.createTextNode("")); my_new_node3.appendChild(wd.createElement('br')); my_new_node3.appendChild(wd.createTextNode("")); my_new_node2.appendChild(my_new_node3); etc... This is not a problem and it works fine. The problem is that when I add this to the page the css (from an external style sheet) that should apply does not. It is some kind of IE bug, I have tested it extensively in Firefox, using the DOM inspector - where it works fine and I can see that all the elements have been created / added to the page correctly. I have also confirmed that the correct elements are being created in IE it is just that styles are not being applied to the created elements. The styles work in Firefox and also in IE under normal circumstances (when the elements are not created on the fly) I'm sorry that I can't give more detail, but its deeply burried in an application and I thought putting in the relevant css etc might just make it more confusing. Any help very appreciated. Thanks. The section of my site that this effects is a login area, so I can't provide a link... I can post some code if I need to... I have a div with this class applied to it. Code: .minidaysofweek div{
width:13.6%;
float:left;
font-weight:bold;
}
It was working fine here, but when I put it in my site template, the bold doesn't work. So I added color:blue; just for testing, and it changed the color... what would keep the font-weight from being applied? The minititle class isn't bolding either like it should... <edit>FF and IE effected</edit> I have nested divs and on the most outer div i apply a background-color but it is only applied to half of the divs?? it happens BOTH in firefox & IE!! PHP Code: <style type="text/css"> /********** layout of the page ***********/ #top { background-color:yellow; clear:both; } /***************** Formatting top part of the page **************/ #tag { float:left; margin-left:8em; } #login { float:right; } #logo { margin-left:2em; float:left; clear:left; } #searchBox { float:right; clear:right; } #links2 { clear:right; background-color:yellow; } #links2 li{ font-size:0.8em; display:inline; float:right; text-decoration:none; list-style:none; padding:1em; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="top"> <div id="tag"> <p id="">Zahra Zahra Ltd</p> </div> <div id="login"> <p>Login/Register</p> </div> <div id="logo"> <a href="index.php"><img src="images/site/zahra.jpg" width="65" height="59" /></a> </div> <div id="searchBox"> <form action="search.php" method="post" style="margin:0em; padding:0em;"> <label>What are you shopping for?</label> <input type="text" name="search" value="search" size="14"/> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go" /> </form> </div> <div id="links2"> <ul> <li>Contact Us</li> <li>Testimonial</li> <li>Return Policy</li> <li>News</li> <li>FAQ</li> <li>about us</li> <li>Home</li> </ul> </div> </div> All, I have a header on this page backup.whiteslimo.com with 3 images inserted into it listing the company name, service, and contact info. My problem is that when they are displayed there is a thin white border on the bottom and right hand sides of each image. But the image doesn't have these borders. If you are in Firefox/Mozilla and you right click on the individual images and select View Image, you will see that the image itself does not have these borders. I am thinking that somewhere along some attribute is being added that is causing this but since I am a CSS neophyte (This is still my first week lol) I am not sure. Any help is much appreciated. Why do margin and padding widths act differently when applied to a floated item in Internet Explorer? |
