CSS - Pseudo Elements To Set First Letter Or First Line Style
Hi,
Tried using Pseudo Elements to set style property for first character (first-letter) and first line (first-line) inside an element. Every thing works fine when we set such styles on div or table elements, but failed on anchor tags Working on Code: <style>
div:first-letter{font-weight: bold;}
</style>
<div>
Pseudo Div<br>
Line Two<br>
Line Three<br>
</div>
Failed On Code: <style>
a:first-letter{font-weight: bold;}
</style>
<a href="">
Pseudo Div<br>
Line Two<br>
Line Three<br>
</a>
Can anyone give me the solution for this. Thanks in advance! Similar TutorialsHi, I can't seem to get this to work, I was wondering if anyone else has done it. I'm trying to get a :hover and :active pseudo-class to work in Explorer. I got something like this: Code:
<!--Base INPUT style def. All input classes inherit these attributes
though none use this style directly.-->
INPUT
{
background-color: #ffffff;
color: #000000;
etc...
}
<!--Specific class, inherits from base and applies specific traits-->
INPUT.underBlack1
{
border-style: solid;
border-color: #000000;
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-top-width: 0px;
etc...
}
<!--Pseudo-class: highlights on hover-->
<!--(Doesn't work)-->
INPUT:hover
{
background-color: #fdfddf;
}
<!--Another try at a pseudo-class: also doesn't work-->
INPUT.underBlack1:hover
{
background-color: #fdfddf;
}
Do elements other than anchors and such not behave well with pseudo classes? I can't seem to get any kind of css pseudo-class behavior out of input elements in MSIE 6, WinXP. -Mike I took an example from w3.org (shown below) and it doesn't work. From http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-content/ Quote: 4.2.2. Inserting multiple '::before' and '::after' pseudo-elements In contrast with the previous section, the selector '::before(2)' represents a pseudo-element before another, both of which are contained at the start of an element. For example, the following rules: div { content: 'A' } div::before { content: 'B'; } div::before(2) { content: 'C'; } ...would result in the following rendering objects: ,-----------------------. | ,---. ,---. | | | C | | B | A | | `---' `---' | `-----------------------' The '::before' selector is exactly equivalent to '::before(1)'. A pseudo-element only exists if all the elements and pseudo-elements leading up to it exist. For instance, in the following example, only one pseudo-element is generated, the first one: div { content: 'A' } div::before { content: 'B'; } div::before(2) { content: inhibit; } div::before(3) { content: 'C'; } It would result in the following rendering objects: ,-----------------------. | ,---. | | | B | A | | `---' | `-----------------------' So my code is Code:
<!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=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Test Page</title>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
div { content: 'A' }
div::before { content: 'B'; }
div::before(2) { content: 'C'; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>Test Div</div>
</body>
</html>
And the output is "BTest Div". Firefox error console comes up with Quote: Warning: Function token for non-function pseudo-class or pseudo-element, or the other way around, when reading 'before'. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector. Line: 10 I get a similar error when I validate it with W3.org using CSS level 3 Quote: 10 div Parse Error div::before(2) { content: 'C'; } I just find it odd because I copied the example off of their site and then when I validate it the code comes back as invalid. Any ideas? If i have the following html: PHP Code: <div id="centre"> <h2>Header</h2> <p>Lorem ipsum appareat definiebas has eu. Eam consul ancillae ex.</p> <p> Sumo percipit instructior te mei. Est diceret convenire periculis ad, id vix facilisis sadipscing.</p> <p>Ei per aeque petentium tincidunt, posse inimicus ad sit.</p> </div> I want to select the first letter within the first <p> element, I've tried to do it using double pseudo-elements: PHP Code: div#centre p:first-child:first-letter { etc. } But this obviously won't work, because the <p> ain't first. I realise that i could do it very simply by just giving the first paragraph a class, but the use pretty much requires contextual selection, It seems the equivalent of second:child (which is what i want) will be available in css3, Even ideas would be great, Cheers Is it possible to inline a :hover... something like this: <a href="loc" style="color: blue;" style:hover="color: red;">Click here</a> Now that in particular doesn't work, but can you do something like that by editing the style=""? (I know it's best to just have a separate css file. I'm just wondering if it can be done) Hi, I have a series of images that act as hyperlinks to other pages. I want the image border to initially be set to none, but when I rollover the image I want it to turn white, 1px wide. Tried doing this with normal link styles, but it ain't workin. So how do you do this? Thanks mM I want to do something like: Submit but i dont know how to do it? i tried doing input value ="<span style="AK">S</span>ubmit" /> but it doesnt work.... hi- i'm trying to NOT to use a table to layout my web page but it is difficult to get two divs side by side without one! for example... here is a very simplified page of something i'm working on: http://phil.quietthenloud.net/csstest/test.html everything enclosed in the 1px blue border is the menu. everything enclosed in the 1px red border is the content. both sections are divs that i can't seem to get side by side without using a table as you can see in the html. i tried using "display:inline;" on both sections and that doesn't even come close. it shrinks the div down to the minimum possible. any ideas? thanks in advance!!!

For reasons of compliance with the SEC, I can't use cascading style sheets, but rather, I have to generate style attributes for each individual element (e.g.
Code:
<p style="width:436pt; margin:0pt; padding:6pt 0pt 0pt 20pt;
font-family:serif; font-weight:normal; color:#000000;
font-size:10pt; text-align:left; font-style:normal;
line-height:12pt; background-color:#FFFFFF;" >text </p>
don't get me started on how rediculous this is). Its stupid, but it works. What I can't figure out is how to apply something like Code: <style type="text/css" media="print">
hr {visibility:hidden}
</style>
to <hr style" ??? "/> any suggestions would be much appreciated -LG source: bluewebpages.com/photography/album3/1 i need help setting the thumbnails which have a block display to line up on the same line. i'm using a program called photostack, which is a light-weight photoblog system. when it spits out the code, how would i center the main div containg all thumbnails? i've tried text-align, negative margins(which worked except that the main photo would display ontop of them because the negative margins involved abs positioning) mainly if someone could point me in the right direction on getting block elements on the same line then i'd be set. i can resolve the later issue. thanks, amory EDIT FIXED - need a float: left; Okay, so I want to get an image (left) and a div container (right) positioned on the same line. The image is 225x225, and I want 15px of space between the image and div container; the div container should also fill in the rest of the width on that page. HTML = <img id="logo" src="logo.gif" width="225" height="225"><!- insert 15px spacing --><div id="navbox"><!-- 100% width? --></div> and, CSS = ? Thanks! Hi, I just can't seem to get my head around this one. I have a website title which appears on every page. The whole title is a link to the index page of the website. I want the second part of the title to be a h1 header with smaller font in a different colour. I also want the whole title to be on one line. I can only seem to get either all the words in the same font, or I can get the two parts to display their different fonts correctly, but they then appear on two lines, one under the other! My page code: <div id="garden-designer-title"><a href="(*website address*)" title="home">Joe Blogs</a><h1 style="display: inline'"><a href="(*website address*)" title="home">Garden Design</a></h1> </div> My stylesheet code: #garden-designer-title { position:relative; left:0px; top:0px; padding: 0; margin: 0; width:526px; height:51px; z-index:7; } #garden-designer-title a { position:relative; font-size: 46px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #009999; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; } #garden-designer-title h1 a { display: inline; font-size: 29px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #9482A4; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; } Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?! Many thanks! I was wondering what is the best practice for aligning elements on same "line"? for example, say I have a header of the site with logo on left most side and on the right side I want to have right-aligned text with a link of a variable width, how would I achieve this? Do I need 2 separate divs that float left and have set width? Example: Hello everyone. I would like to make a layout that fills the entire window but not more. The content of the page i want to display in a container that is always on a certain distance from the window border.

So if you could help me with this i would be very thanksful. thx - HoB I've got a form that I'm trying to lay out. I've prepared examples. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example1.html This is approximately what the form should look like. But I don't like how I managed to pull it off. I've explicitly declared a height for the middle row in my form. I want this to be automatic based on the contents. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example2.html But this is what happens if I take out the explicit height. The float lefts for the inner "box"es confuse the parent div into thinking it has no content. So the height collapses, and chaos results. http://www.dollardns.net/devshed/example3.html I've also tried making the "box"es use a display of "inline". But that doesn't work possibly cause inline elements are not supposed to contain block elements. Any recommendations? Does anybody know how to simulate the :after pseudo-element for msiepc? I want to add a small image icon on at the end of a regular anchor tag which MUST stay as an inline element and therefore can't use a background image to accomplish this (as this doesn't work over multiple lines in ie.) More specifically. Does anybody know a reliable cross-browser way of adding a small image (such as an arrow) to the end of an <a> tag that wraps over multiple lines? Cheers dudes 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; }

Why not and how to fix?:S gr Bram I've run into a situation that I've never encountered before. I want to add em dashes to the content of my pseudo-classes, but apparently it isn't working. I'm using regular hyphens for now, like so: Code: #secondary h2:before {content: "- "}
#secondary h2:after {content: " -"}
I've tried the hex and dec values for the em dash, and those don't work either. Is there something easy that I'm missing, or is this a limitation of these pseudo-classes? Thanks for your time. 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;

margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
position: relative;
background-color: #FFFF7D;

border: solid 2px #0000ff;
}
#header {
width: 780px;
height: 143px;
margin-bottom: 3px;
}
#headerImage {

}
Thanks in advance! -Tim Forgive 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? I have another problem with IE for Windows: I have several links which should not appear as links but should inherate the colors (grey or black) and decoration (none) from their parents ... works fine every where except MSIE for windows (where the usual red and blue - but no underline - appear) the relevant styles: <style type="text/css"> a:link { text-decoration: none; color: inherit; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; color: inherit; } </style> the relevant html: <h3 style="padding: 0; margin: 0.25em;color:#000000; ">Some <a href="http://www.theDanceGypsy.com/danceFinder.shtml" target="viewFrame">Dance Events</a> near you:</h3> <ul class="newsList"> <li><a href="http://www.thedancegypsy.com/danceList.php?dance=dance-26:6-4" target="viewFrame"><span class ="unconfirmed">6/25: Bernardston~ <cite>Eastern Squares</cite> </span></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.thedancegypsy.com/danceList.php?dance=dance-30:6-4" target="viewFrame">6/26: Brattleboro~ <cite>Paneurhythmy</cite> </a></li> anyone have any idea for a workaround?
