CSS - Styling Individual Li Elements:

Hello all,

I'm having a bit of trouble with a list of relative, floated <li> elements, each containing a single absolutely positioned div that appears on hover. I'm using the :hover pseudo-class currently but I will use JavaScript for IE6 once it displays correctly.

The code is below. The problem is that the <div> appears on top of it's parent element but behind all other elements.

Code:

		#wrapper-body ul.staff-list{
			list-style-type:none;
			padding-top:10px;
			position:relative;
		}
	
		#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team{ width:313px; padding-top:0; padding-bottom:15px; margin-bottom:20px; border-bottom:1px solid #d7e3a9; }
	
			#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li{
				float:left;
				width:230px;
				position:relative;
				padding:8px 0 8px 15px;
				z-index:1;
			}
			#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team li{ width:151px; padding-left:0; padding-left:5px; }
			#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-team li.right{ padding-left:5px; }
			#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li{ float:none; width:310px; padding-left:5px; }
			#wrapper-body ul li.highlight{ background-color:#f4f6ec; }
				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li p{
					padding:0 0 9px 0;
					margin-left:91px;
				}
	
				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li small{
					padding:0 0 5px 0;
					margin-left:91px;
				}
		
				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span{
					color:#A6302B;
					display:block;
					float:left;
				}
		
				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span.clerk-name{ width:140px; }
				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li span.clerk-phone{ width:120px; background:url(../img/structure/clerks-phone.gif) 0 2px no-repeat; padding-left:23px; }
				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list-clerks li a.clerk-email{ display:block; float:left; height:16px; width:16px; background:url(../img/structure/clerks-mail.gif) 0 3px no-repeat; }
		
		
				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li div.staff-list-detail{
					display:none;
					background:url(../img/structure/staff-list-bottom.gif) left bottom repeat-x;
					padding-bottom:3px;
					margin-top:-15px;
					left:4px;
					z-index:10;
					top:15px;
					position:absolute;
				}

				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li div.staff-list-detail a{ background:url(../img/structure/staff-list-bullet.gif) no-repeat 0 4px; padding-left:8px; }

				#wrapper-body ul.staff-list li:hover div.staff-list-detail{
					display:block;
}

Thanks for reading!

I wish to have links for the menu like this: http://www.tristarwebdesign.co.uk/templates/templates/karma/index.html

However, I wish to have MY OWN font style on each links as it can be seen on:

The only difference I want is that this guy has used "title" in order to display text on each "li" link, while I would like to use MY OWN font style instead as can be seen from my page on: http://members.lycos.co.uk/darsh25/Personal%20Website/contact.php

i.e. the font style that can be seen in links like About, Services, Owner, Template & Contact.

Code:

				
<li><a title="link six" href="index.html">link six</a></li>
<li><a title="link five" href="index.html">link five</a></li>
<li><a title="link four" href="index.html">link four</a></li>
<li><a title="link three" href="index.html">link three</a></li>
<li><a title="link two" href="index.html">link two</a></li>
<li><a title="link one" href="index.html">link one</a></li>

My links are saved as an "image" (both background & the text on it) & as far as I'm aware, I couldn't possibly "hover" EACH INDIVIDUAL image of EACH of these links using CSS, could I ???

I know that I could "hover" change the background colour, but then what about the text on it ??? Is it possible to use the same fancy font AND being able to change the background colour when hover to "grey" (just as it could be seen from the "tristar" website.

My CSS code so far is:

Code:

Hi I need something simple done.

I need to decrease the size of a textbox (Image verification) on this page:

http://quickonline.co.za/

Im not sure what to put in CSS , I tried this:
Code:

input.chrono_verification {
width:50px;
}

nevermind Its a Id not a class

For caching purposes and/or maximum performance would it be more beneficial to have the same large css document referenced in every page on my site or to have a much smaller different one referenced for each page in my site.

I want to create a css menu where a chunk or block is highlighted on mouse over but inside that block are individual hyperlinks that are also highlighted on mouse over.

Here's the catch, I can't use any doctype tags like this one

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

because it makes the rest of my page look like junk.

The top nav on this page is exactly what I want to do.

Hello,

I am working on a site and want to put a thin black line border on individual cells in a table with out putting a border on the whole table.

Im not very experienced with css and would perfer to keep it simple.

any info will help

thanks
Nick Carlevaris

hover color for an individual piece of link on a page full of links.
So not like this in the header:
Code:

<STYLE>
a:hover {color:#FF0000}
</STYLE>

but something like this, but then it has to work :
Code:

<a href="page.html" style="hover-color:#FF0000;">
Link text</a>

I noticed that 'text-decoration: none' works in the second way, but i dont know how this hover color has to be done in that way.

I'm trying to replicate what I had in html tables with css div. The final (I hope) problem is that as I populate cells with data retrieved from a MySQL data base there are columns that want to expand beyond the default height. When that happens, that cell overlaps the next row. If I use min-height, the cell alignment goes haywire because other cells are below the minimum. The workaround is to increase the default height, but that doesn't make me love divs. Is there a solution to this?

Here's my code (stripped down--there'e a lot more to the application, and sanitised for anonymity).

Thank you.

Hi, my xml code is:

<room>
<features>
<pool/>
<Aircon/>
<Radio/>
<DVD/>
<beds double="2"/>
</features>
</room>

<room>
<features>
<pool/>
<TV/>
<VCR/>
<beds twin="1" double="2"/>
</features>
</room>

i want to Display the word "Features" in bold, then under the word features i want the list of features to be displayed with bullet points. I want beds to appear in bold in the list.

This is the code i have so far:

features{
}

features:before {
content:"Features";
font-weight:bold;
}

beds:before{
content:"Beds: ";
}

beds[sofa-bed]:after{
content:attr(sofa-bed)" x Sofa-bed ";
}

beds[double]:after{
content:attr(double)" x Double ";
}

beds[twin]:after{
content:attr(twin)" x Twin ";
}


The problem is, i can't get in to display anything except, the beds entry. But when it displays the beds entry, it only gives the last one in the list. So the one with a twin and a double, only the twin is displayed.

Any idea's?

I have a menu constructed <div><ul><li><a><img><p>.

The li is margined as 16% to space a given number of links across the page in the 100% div.

I am trying to put a border around the <a> but the browser only shows the border as a sort of collapsed div and does not surround the child elements. I try giving height to the <a> but that does not work.

Any ideas how I can get the <a> border to surround the <img><p> tags?

Hi Guys,

Hope you are all well. My page layout is in CSS, however in the middle I have a selection of images and text, based in a standard HTML table.

All the images are 300px wide. It works fine on all nice small browsers, but it doesn't look nice on screens with a high resolution, because the images have lots of ****e space round them, and adjusting the background colour looks just as bad.

I have tried to apply width: 300px; (as well as max-width: 300px; ) to the td element, but neither FF or IE seems to accept this? Should they accept this?

Has anyone got a better more practical layout model for this type of display? either using a fix to the above or 'pure' CSS and ditch the table?

Charlie

I am styling my <pre> on my template document and have some questions. First, I tend to gravitate to semantic correct CSS and xHTML. Thus chose xHTML strict for my template document and have been extensively styling the CSS style sheet.

The <pre> tag presents the latest dilemma. Basically, I came across this link where the developer presented CODE in a <textarea> tag. The code did not require entities, < or &rt; in the markup. These styling attributes appealed to me; inset design and overflow with scrollbars for extending text beyond the page.

Bottom of the Page
http://www.evolt.org/article/HTML_is_not_an_acronym/17/35750/

The developer also used presentational styling in the markup. HTML strict does not allow one to use style attributes in the HMTL; besides the style sheet. But my sensibilities gravitate toward using semantically correct markup. Most people, including myself, use div containers with classes or ID for presentational styling. But for this exercise, the <pre> or <code> tag are preferable since these classes serve to present (you guess it) code.

One annoyance about the <pre> relates to indenting the markup (the actual text file). By default (and by design), <pre> tag incorporates any indents or white space in the browser. My thoughts revolved around changing the wrapping property to account for line breaks and disregard white space. Then, in theory, one could indent the markup for readability. This document is for personal use and semantically organized and indented for readability. The correct markup will help me understand or edit the document two years from now. In addition, it forms my quick reference to copy & paste tags.

The following class style did not produce the <textarea> desired attributes.

Code:

pre.CodeExample {
	/*background-color: transparent;*/
	border: medium inset #CCCCCC;
	font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;
	margin: 1em 2em 1em 2em;
	overflow: auto;
	padding: .5em .5em .5em .5em;
	white-space: nowrap;
}

Please let me know what are the default CSS attributes for the <pre> and <textarea> tags.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions about styling the <pre> tag or links to cool implementations. You may review my markup at the following link.

http://www.geocities.com/robert_neville310/Template_Sample.html#blockquote

The Blockquote section has several methods for displaying code. I am looking to consolidate and standardize my classes. Suggestions are welcomed.

I see that layout on my site is completely broken in IE7...

Could anybody help me to fix my css...

Hello,

I am trying to style my form inputs, textareas and selects as follows:


input, select, textarea {
border: solid 6px #ECF0F9;
color: #252525;
font: normal 0.75em Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
padding: 0.25em;
width: 520px;
}


I am having a few problems:


Firefox 3:


1. The select is narrow than the inputs and textareas;
2. When I click the select the dropdown borders look different ...
some are thinner than others.


IE 7:


1. The select is narrow than the inputs and textareas;
2. The border of the select is not changed.


What am I doing wrong and how can I make the appearance of a Select
look the same across various browsers?

Can I do this with JQuery?

Thanks,
Miguel

I set up a class (named "emphasized") to be bold, italic and color #087112. The color is being applied but for some reason the font is not appearing bold or italicized. (See "Introduction to EFT" text.)

The bullets (set up in css as id selector "li") are not being styled either (same thing, the color is applied but not the list styling).

Since I'm a new user I'm not allowed to put links in my post but you can see the pages he

HTML page can be found at tinyurl dot com /da97nb
CSS can be found at tinyurl dot com /de9tqe

Help! And thank you!
