CSS - [php5] Different Colored Link When On Page
Hi All,
I would like to figure out a way to have my menu item font stay a different color if the user is on that page. I thought that the a:active would do the trick, but apparently a link is only active immediately after clicked and does not carry over to the page that was linked. I am trying to stay away from images and javascript because I can't get them to look right against my background, so I was wondering if there was a css way to create this effect without changing every page. I have a header file that contains this menu because I will be updating it frequently with new links and pages and would rather only change it once... thanks! Similar TutorialsHi all, I'm using an open source template from oswd.org and I wanted to change the color of one of the links to make it stand out from the others. Here's the CSS code: Code: .nav3-grid {width:199px; border-bottom:solid 1px rgb(200,200,200);} .nav3-grid dt a, .nav3-grid dt a:visited {display:block; min-height:2.0em /*Non-IE6*/; height:auto !important; height:2.0em /*IE6*/; line-height:2.0em; padding:0px 10px 0px 20px; border-top: solid 1px rgb(200,200,200); text-decoration:none; color:rgb(70,122,167); font-weight:bold; font-size:120%;} .nav3-grid dd a, .nav3-grid dd a:visited {display:block; min-height:1.7em /*Non-IE6*/; height:auto !important; height:1.7em /*IE6*/; line-height:1.7em; padding:0px 10px 0px 40px; border:none; font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none; color:rgb(70,122,167); font-size:120%;} .nav3-grid dt a:hover, .nav3-grid dd a:hover {background-color:rgb(225,225,225); color:rgb(42,90,138); text-decoration:none;} .nav3-grid dt a.inquiry:hover, .nav3-grid dd a.inquiry:hover {color:rgb(90,90,90); text-decoration:none;} Note the a.inquiry:hover above - I added that entire line in hopes that would change the color. And here is the HTML in question: Code: <!-- Navigation Level 3 --> <div class="round-border-topright"></div> <h1 class="first">TurnkeySolutionsNow</h1> <!-- Navigation with grid style --> <dl class="nav3-grid"> <dt><a href="whyusetsn.html">Why Use TSN</a></dt> <dt><a href="productdevelopment.html">Product Development </a></dt> <dd><a href="productdevelopment-productdevelopment.html">Product Development </a></dd> <dd><a href="productdevelopment-engineering.html">Engineering</a></dd> <dd><a href="productdevelopment-productdesign.html">Product Design</a></dd> <dd><a href="productdevelopment-productprotection.html">Product Protection</a></dd> <dd><a href="productdevelopment-engineeringservices.html">Engineering Services</a></dd> <dd><a href="productdevelopment-industries.html">Industries</a></dd> <dd><a href="productdevelopment-inquiry-form.html" class="inquiry">Inquiry Form</a></dd> <dt><a href="contact.html">Contact Us</a></dt> </dl> <p> </p> </div> The link I want to change color is the Inquiry Form. I thought by adding class="inquiry" I could define the color, but I'm having issues. Any help is appreciated - thanks in advance! Patrick Can some explain (briefly) how one goes about specifying CSS styles for different link areas in a page. for example, I want navigation links to have a different set of "rules" than footer links. ted Hello all.. trying to do something that should be pretty simple (I'm not the best CSS person). Instead of using a table am trying to use just CSS. I want to place a form button styled as a link and some text into a colored box but my css is not working. html is... <span class="yellowbox"> <form name="view constituent" method="post" action="constituents_viewm.php"> <input type=submit name=submit value=$lname, $fname" class="link_submit"> </form> <br /><br />text </span> and css is... .yellowbox { background-color:#fdffe3; margin:10px; padding:10px; border: 1px #000; font-size:13px; width:420px; height:100px; } .link_submit { color:#116500; font-size:17px; font-family:Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background:none; border:none; display:block; text-decoration:underline; cursorointer; float:left; } any help will be greatly appreciated. I am looking for a way to color the padding/margin/border of all the elements on my page, so that I can, with a quick look, see how the elements are interacting with eachother. If you have used firebug, then you know what I mean, because in Firebug, when you hover over an element in "inspect" mode it shows the margins and padding in different colors. I have heard of diagnostic CSS before, but have never seen anything quite like this. Does anyone know how Firebug does it, or know of anything similar? I am very, very new at web design, and would like to make a colored background behind text, although I am sure that is not the right name for it! For example, in this this website I would like to emulate how to make that curved rectangular background behind the Online Poll, but I have no clue what the name or the source code behind it that makes it so! If anyone could even just give me the proper name for it so I can google it, I would be very thankful! I know the user can enable printing of bg grcs and colour, this is an administrative thing so I can put in the manual that they need to do that in their browser if they want to print a certain page. I have certain rectangles on the page that align perfectly with areas on the background graphic on the screen. However, when I print preview in Firefox this synch is lost and the rects don't line up with the bg graphic. Kravvitz will hate this page cuz it has a few xhtml errors. I don't know how to make those errors go away without ruining something else. For example, "no system id specified." Quote: Your document includes a DOCTYPE declaration with a public identifier (e.g. "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN") but no system identifier (e.g. "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"). This is authorized in HTML (based on SGML), but not in XML-based languages. so if I put that system identifier in it then the page fails to lock if I render a secure version of it because http://www.w3.org is insecure content, and erodes consumer confidence. The "name" attribute well if you don't have it when you post, I don't think the posts will register it, will they? I have proprietery attributes also and they are kinda necessary. The rest of the errors I could probably clear, but 21 is not so bad compared to 2,874..... Anyway here is an example http://demo.tixrus.us/98 How can I get this page to print correctly??? I'm making a page and I've got an a:link specification. I want a separate specification for a part of the page under a .header tag. The background on that part of the page doesn't match the a:link color I have specified for the rest of the page. So I want one specifically for the .header tag. Doesn't seem to be working though. How do you think I should throw it in there? Hello all, Is it ok to add the following on the same htm page??? The reason I think, and corrcet me if i am wrong, is that Netscape wants the IMPORT one as opposed to IE wanting the LINK one. Code: <link href="scripts/CoffsCoast.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <style type="text/css">@import url("scripts/CoffsCoast.css");</style> Hi there, I want to create a hyperlink to an external page from my web site. Is it possible to show that external content on my page without using frame set. From the attachment, link 1 & link 2 are external links inside a div. I want to show it on the second div on the bottom. Thanks. Hi all, I am making a test page for a client. It's a VERY simple site (he's a simple guy ), but I am having a little trouble with something that's probably pretty easy. For some reason, though I just can't get it to cooperate. The site is at www.bartlett-family.net/test On the footer, you'll notice that it also has a few links and those links have the SAME properties (through the CSS) as the other page links on the left and right. I don't want that. I want the links in the footer to be WHITE at all times, whether clicked, hovered over, etc. How can I do this? Thanks! Chris Thanks for taking the time to read my question. Is is possible to have different link attributes on different sections of a page? For example: I'd like to have all links on the menu section be white font, visited be black font, hover to be green font and active to be yellow font On the rest of the page, I'd like all links to be green font, visited to be blue font, hover to be yellow font, and active to be whtie font. here is my css: Code: @charset "iso-8859-1"; body { text-align:center; margin-top: 10px; background-color: green; /*background-color: #d8d8d8;*/ } #frame { width: 640px; text-align: center; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;

Anyone plz help me?????????????? Thx in advance............ Hello, I am currently making a site, and this is my first experience using css, and so far I love it. Now I have a page with multiple links on it, and this page has its css info stored in a seperate css file. Now I want some of the links to show up in all satus's (hover, visited ect)with one color, size ect, and some links to show up with a different color. I know i can modify all the links on the page color by adding this to the css page... ------------------------ A:LINK {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000; text-decoration:none; font-size:12pt; font-weight:bold;} ----------------------- but how can i make it so each class has a differnt a:link, a:visited, ect. Thanks! PROBLEM: I create a nice button using the sliding doors technique for rounded corners. But the button displays with 100% width unless I float it. My layout requires that the buttons be inline with the text, so floating won't work. Anyone know an alternative? I wouldn't mind floating but I want the button to show inline with the text. When I use float:left, it removes it from the inline flow. Basically, I want a very modular button that can be used in several different places on a page. In many cases, floating is fine because the mockup has it out of the inline text, but I want to use it there, too. Here's the HTML: <a class="button" href="#"><span>Update Profile</span></a> Here's the css: a.button:link, a.button:visited { background:url(button_right.gif) no-repeat right top; } a.button span:hover, a.button span:active { background:url(button_left_hover.gif) no-repeat right top; } a.button span { background:url(button_left.gif) no-repeat left top; color:#fff; cursorointer; display:block; height:20px; line-height:20px; margin:0 2px 0 0; padding:0 10px; position:relative; white-space:nowrap; } http://tinyurl.com/5llwfl I'm having some problems with this page in particular. Try clicking on one of the Left or Right white image arrows below the main picture. This only occurs in Firefox 2.x. Once you click the link, the content area below "Starting from $278.497" should shift roughly 5 pixels down. I thought it may be related to the dotted link outline that surrounds the image, but that was not the case. I applied styles to get rid of that and there was no changes. I also thought it may be related to a position:relative; bug which this site has been notorious for. I tried making certain divs in that area position:relative to no avail. So to test further I tried an overall #content *{position:relative;} fix which could not fix the position shift, either. I'm not sure what else it could be. And while I do have access to the build of this app, I have not been able to reproduce the issue by downloading all HTML, CSS, and image files locally. Hello Is there a way i can restore my <a href> link back to its original color, that is before the a:visited event, when I click on another link? PS. no Javascript code needed, is their an alternative in css? I have my links defined with a dashed border, but I don't want this on linked images and I'm trying to figure out if I can accomplish this with CSS only without additional markup in my HTML file. Here is a sample file: http://www. shawkey.com/test/imagebordertest.html Any suggestions on how I can get the dashed border to not appear below the image and only appear below the text with just CSS? Hello is there a way to make it so hyperlinks are not decorated as the default blue? I have the following css which I've attempted to make it so the text '.com' is always white, but it defaults to the standard link color. html: <td class="nodecoration"><a class="nodecoration" href="http://www.somesite.com">.com</a></td> css: Code: td.nodecoration { background-color: #003399; color: white; width: 120px; height: 30px; font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif; font-size: 25px; font-weight: bold; text-align:center; } A:link.nodecoration {text-decoration: none} A:visited.nodecoration{text-decoration:none} A:active.nodecoration{text-decoration:none} a:hover.nodecoration{text-decoration:underline} I am generating a list with PHP that is going to be printed out and hung up for display. I would prefer if the following weren't printed. 1) Top Left - Page Title (I know I can have this disappear by having a blank title, but I would prefer to have one) 2) Top Right - Page URL 3) Bottom Left - Page number (ex: 1 of 2) 4) Bottom Right - Date Is there any way to print the list without these? I wasn't sure if there is some css I can use, or if this is something that the printer prints automatically. Thanks Hi All : Currently i'm running in .NET platform together with VB.net and ASP. I faced a problem regarding to the PAGE BREAK html tag. The problem is when i want to print out a report, it will show with scroll bar and the report is very long. So what i have to do is to apply Page-Break-After/Before into the HTML. how am i know if the report already apply the Page Break function or not? And the only style i can use is CSS. Anyone familiar with this? It's urgent !! Hope can get anyone help asap. Regards, JeFFery |
