CSS - A Couple Css Questions?
First: I have seen:
p.classname and just .classname What is the difference between the two if the latter is applied to a paragraph? Also: I have seen classes stack on top of each other like: <p class ="classname" class ="classname2">text</p> <p class = "classname" id = "idname">text</p> So is there a way to use classes with other classes id with other ids or classes and ids together like the above? Similar TutorialsUnfortunately I am going to have to get more involved in CSS rather than happily concentrating on PHP development. We have realised that getting our designers to CSS stuff is just costing us time as they lack the experience and don't understand the semantics. Anyway, as such I need to find out a few things I know but don't know if you know what I mean. Where can I find out the official definitions of CSS operators... * html for example..what the * does. class1>class2...what the > does...stuff like that. Here is my css code:

If it is more helpful - This is a link to the actual html file to view I am going to turn it into a template with an editable main section (the large blank area to the bottom right. I think my problems are all with the sidebar id - but I could be wrong as this is my first attempt at css and tabless design. Ignore the search part - that is phase 2 so I am not messing with that at this point. Here are the problems I am trying to correct: 1) I want the sidebar column to extend to the bottom of the page container - 10px. Some page containers could be longer than 600px height - but that will be the minimum height of the container. Currently it goes down all the way to the page id border with no white space. I know this is because I put in height 100% - but what I really need is something like 100% - 10px - but that doesn't seem to be an option. The page container has 10 px padding but it doesn't seem to be making a difference. 2) The left side list navigation indentation has some problems. See the side bar here to see what I want it to look like The list navigation part should be indented 20px from the left edge of the sidebar (10px more than the category class). Currently in fox fire they are both 10px from the right edge. In IE they are indented way too much. As always any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! On this page: http://www.mediamogulsweb.com/. I'm having a few minor issues. 1) In IE7, something is wrong with this code: Quote: #blurbs { background:52% 48% url(plus_design.jpg) no-repeat; width:615px; height:481px; margin:13px 0 10px 0; border:1px solid #000; } You'll see what I mean when you look....the 1px border is only there to illustrate the problem...it should look like it does in IE6 or Mozilla... 2) In IE6, there is some extra padding or something for these styles: Quote: #bot_left_text_box2 { width:78px; height:81px; margin:0; border:1px solid #000; } #bot_right_text_box2 { width:78px; height:81px; margin:10px 0 0 0; border:1px solid #000; } Again, you'll see it when you look... Any help is appreciated...I can;t seem to find the problem, and I'm too tired too stare at it any longer...so maybe one of you can help...thanks. Ok If you go to: http://www.zahra-zahra.com/innerPage.html if you hover over the side menu (sub/subcontact)which are supposed to be nested lists.. you will see some alignment issue with the pink and the brown-ish.. also the nested list was moved a bit forward so i added margin:-0.5em; but IE doesnt like it and has moved the li further back.. relevant code: PHP Code: #sideMenu { margin-top:0.2em; float:left; clear:left; width:24%; } #sideMenu ul { float:left; width:100%; list-style:none; margin:0em; padding:0em; } #sideMenu li { clear:left; background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLi.jpg); padding:0.4em; margin-bottom:0.1em; } #sideMenu ul li ul { margin:-0.5em; padding:0em; margin-top:0.3em; padding-top:0.2em; padding-bottom:0.2em; } #sideMenu ul li ul li { width:100%; background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLiLi.jpg); } #sideMenu a { text-indent:0em; text-decoration:none; color:#663333; margin-left:0em; font-size:1em; } .nestedList a { text-indent:0em; padding:0.3em; padding-left:3em; } .nestedList a:hover { background-image:url(images/site/backgrounds/sideLiLiHover.jpg); background-position: -0.4em 0em; } HTML PHP Code: <div id="sideMenu"> <ul> <li><a href="">Contact</a> <ul class="nestedList"> <li><a href="">sub</a></li> <li><a href="">SUBcontact</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="">Return</a></li> <li><a href="">News</a></li> <li><a href="">FAQ</a></li> <li><a href="">bout us</a></li> <li><a href="">Home</a></li> </ul> </div> just a side question i have in the above code a nested class.. why cant i do something like .nestedList ul { } i tried that but it didnt work... Hey all, I'm hoping someone can help me! Basically i've been setting up this website (using e107) and the theme I am using isn't exactly what I want, there are a few pages that don't quiet work. Anyway I have tried to modify this and I have just been unsuccessful, I did manage to do a little bit but just reverted back as the chances were it wasn't right!! All I need is to remove 2 areas of the page and make the center piece fill the page. If you think you can help me reply here and ill talk to you either via IM or PM as I will have to give you login details and URLs etc Thanks, Ben Two issues I could use some help on, if anyone is willing to assist: One: I'm once again finding myself at a loss to correct an odd CSS rendering anomoly that shows up (of course) only in MSIE6 and it's Mac counterpart (but more severely in IE6/Win). Basically, I'm using the negative margins method (described here in an article we probably all know on ALA). This combines neg. margins with Dan Cedarholm's Faux Columns to create a nice two-column layout with a footer that always clears regardless of which column is longer. It could be done fluidly, but this site calls for fixed width @ 760px, so it's in a viewport div. The problem is, I'd like to extend a border {1px solid #eee} between the two columns. I assumed based on my code that I would simply apply a right hand border to the content div, and that (regardless of the non-semantic wrapper div used to keep things kosher with the faux columns) that would draw the necessary line. This seems to have worked fine (with a swap of margin for padding at the bottom of the content div, to keep the area contiguous to the footer). But in IE 6, I noticed a gap at the bottom of the page even with 0 margin. I assumed I was missing somethiing obvious like a whitespace bug for it to work in everything but IE, but alas no -- I can't find the source so I'm hoping one of you pros may do what I can not. Two: Secondly, I'm having endless problems with the "Story Options" <UL>. No matter what I try, I cannot get a consistent alignment of bullet-to-list text accross browsers. Every single one is at least one pixel different. Right now is the closest I can get things to working using background images instead of list-style-image, but frankly I'm near giving up and using a character and just scrapping the custom bullet altogether. Sadly, I may have found a solution earlier but it breaks IE5/Mac which (among other problems) doesn't seem to like background-position definitions, or at least the ones I tried. I sorta need IE5 mac support even though I would otherwise not care, because the office of the content providers for this site is entirely OS9 Mac based. Ick. If anyone knows a solution to this problem off hand though, I would seriously appreciate it before I jump off the roof Here's the code: Click here to see the template. Click here for CSS. Thanks in advance. This really should be the final nail the darn coffin for this project's CSS templates. Then I can get back to the warm snuggle of PHP -- Aiden Just so I don't feel like a moron in front of the pros: I'm totally aware I should be using an inline list with :hover for the navbar, and I'm also aware how much better my unstyled content would look if I used semantic definitions for headlines and such. The reason for the former is deadline and the fact that the current system works on every browser I've tested with - more than I can say about most of this code. The second is because <Hx> spans have an inherited top/bottom margin that extends beyond style, the only way I have found to override being negative margins. Unfortunately, IE6/Win doesn't read these right and screws the whole thing. Thus, I'm using non-semantic proprietary classes for the headlines/subheads, and perfectly OK with that for this project since it works and let's me keep the ledding nice and tight the way the client wants it. Ok, I am having some issues on the width of my body (I think). It displays correctly on normal size screens but on my imac there is dead space to the right. There is also two link buttons that have a picture above and below it and for some reason that makes it not clickable. I have tried the overflow:hidden option and that doesn't seem to do anything. I have attached a pic below so that you can see what I am talking about. Not sure what is going on here but if you have a minute to make some suggestions I would be very grateful! Here is my CSS. Please let me know if you see anything obvious here. body{ margin:auto; padding:0; background:#000 url(images/headBg11.png) repeat; width: 100%; } #b_Head{ width:100%; height:150px; margin:0px; padding:0px; background:url(images/headBg.gif) repeat-x; } #bg_Head{ width:934px; height:315px; margin:0 auto; padding:0px; } #logo{ width:235px; height:53px; margin:75px 0 0 110px; padding:0px; float:left; color: #fff; font-size: 46px; position: absolute; } #logo span{ font-family:Tahoma; font-size:58px; color:#297f50; font-weight:bold; line-height:50px; margin:0px; padding:0px; } #banner{ width:450px; height:156px; margin:20px 0 0 7px; padding:0; float:left; background:url(images/banner.png) no-repeat; position: absolute; color: #fff; } #b_Wrap{ width:934px; margin:auto; padding:0; background:#fff url(images/page.gif) repeat; height: 900px; } #content{ width:100%; margin:0 auto; padding:33px 0 0px 0; } .borderLeft { width:5px; height:862px; padding:0; float:left; background:url(images/bborder.png) repeat-y; } .borderRight { width:5px; height:862px; padding:0; float:right; background:url(images/bborder.png) repeat-y; } #rigtPanel{ width:218px; margin:30px 0 0 0; padding:0 0 0 10px; float:left; margin-top: 40px; } #rigtPanel .services{ width:218px; margin:0px; padding:0px; float:left} #rigtPanel .services ul li a{ width:55px !important; height:16px; margin:25px 0 0 0; /* [disabled]margin-left:5px; */ padding:0px; float:right; font-family:Arial; font-size:10px; color:#000000; line-height:14px; text-align:center; text-decoration:none; border:#bdbcbd solid 1px; background:#FFFFFF; /* [disabled]overflow: hidden; */ } #rigtPanel .services ul li a:hover{ text-decoration:none; /* [disabled]background: #cccccc; */ } #rigtPanel .services ul li .author{ width:130px; height:21px; margin:-25px 0 10px 0; padding:0px 0 0 32px; float:left; font-family:Arial; font-size:11px; color:#343434; line-height:20px; background:url(images/author.jpg) no-repeat 10px 0; } #rigtPanel .borderBottom { width:177px; height:21px; margin:-5px 0 0 0px; padding:5px 0 0 40px; float:left; background:url(images/border.png) no-repeat; } #rigtPanel .borderTop { width:177px; height:21px; margin:-25px 0 0 0px; padding:10px 0 0 40px; float:left; background:url(images/border.png) no-repeat; } #rigtPanel .services ul li .author span{font-weight:bold} Hi Everyone I am having some CSS issues with the rotator in my website in a couple Apple products. iPad 1 3.2.2 and iPhone 4.0.5. I am having trouble fixing it. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Please visit the following URL to see the images of the failed Apple products. http://www.webskillsplus.com/apple.html The following is a link to the website page with the issue http://www.discovermassagespa.com/index.html You can see the CSS at the following URLs http://www.discovermassagespa.com/wt-rotator.css http://www.discovermassagespa.com/css/massage.css Thanks in advance for your help. Does anyone know much about IE 7? In particular does it conform to the WWW consortium's box model (margins and padding). This would reduce a whole lot of extra CCS elements and headaches. Does is finally support transparent PNG files? Support for PNG will change the look of the web dramatically! So I just started a class about 4 weeks ago with CSS and I have run into a problem. Its probably a stupid mistake on my part somewhere but I can't figure it out. I have div id tags and for those id tags I have created for example: #test h2, p { font-style:italic; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; display:inline; padding: 10px; } This is because I want only the header and p content in this specific div tag to have these properties. But for some reason its spilling out onto the rest of my p and h2 tags. Why is this happening and how do I stop it so that I can control which h and p tags have specific properties? Hope someone can help!! Thanks Id really like to use css for page layout. Im using asp.net and I need to setup a template that all my pages use. Id rather not use tables, but ive had trouble using css in the past. I need a layout that allows for a header certered section (used to do it with a nested, centered table) center section should have shaded edges to simulate a printed page footer menubar below the header I also need the content area to expand and not go bezerk when i add data in a table or a large image. Can anyone point me to an example that does this ? Hi, I'm a fairly experienced programmer and am learning how to make websites in a modern way with xhtml and css. I'm trying to create a fairly simple looking front page in the vein of http://www.facebook.com/ . but i have a few css questions. Firstly, how can i give the background of my website a gradient (non -flat) colour using css? also - what is the best process when trying to make a website. I have mocked up a quick design in photoshop (image is attached to the post) and want to begin implementing. Would each part (e.g.) logo be a seperate div which links to an image? any help is appreciated as i'm used to working with tables and divs are a whole new realm for me! thanks I never usually code my layouts and test for validation (which after this I see they would fail horribly), even though it displays right theres so many mistakes. I finally got my layout to pass validation in HTML 4.1, but some things went wrong. First heres the links: (and yes this does involve CSS): http://65.26.50.204/ec/index.php - My Layout (View Source) http://65.26.50.204/ec/stylesheet.css - The CSS One thing I was told to do is take out height="100%" but it only told me to take it out in some places and not otheres... strange. Anyways how do I get it to stretch 100% with CSS? Second question, is it a bad practice to use a lot of css classes, I mean like if I have a CSS class used only once is that bad? Does it even matter how many I use?... it wont delay page loading time will it? Third question, I was told to remove the cellspacing tag in most of the places, is that not used anymore or what? I know how to center an element horizontally, but why does it not work with vertical centering? Horizontal (working) - Code:
element.foo {
margin: auto;
width: 0;
}
Vertical (not working) - Code:
element.fuu {
margin: auto;
height: 0; /* no values work */
}
I've seen an entire layout vertically centered by containing the entire layout in a single-cell table and applying the "valign" attribute to the cell, but I'd rather not use tables. I've also checked out the W3C's "Centering Vertically" example, but it relies on the author knowing the height of the content. Since height doesn't work with %, I can't use that. Does somebody know of a way to center vertically without using absolute positioning (relative is fine) or tables, and without knowing the height of the content? I'd rather not use trial and error, but this does seem like a question that is virtually impossible to answer 100% affirmatively (about as sure as 100% height works ). i have three relatively simple questions -- i want to put thumbnails on my page inside the main container-- (2 column layout) i have used some code from REAL WORLD its close but not quite there-- also the thumb sizes will be different - they are stamps- like postage stamps so some horizontal and some square -- just need a tweak here also i have a gray line running thru the site--- not sure where it is coming from but i think it might be from the link container on the sidebar-- and speaking of side bar list container-- i would like it to be centered instead of up against right side-- i played with margins and padding - i am still wading thru that concept-- but coudlnt get anything to work--- so i SURE WOULD appreciate help on these three items -- many thanks in advance-- here is link to page THE PAGE here is link to CSS CSS I have the following code: Code: <div class="Outer"> <div class="Inner"> Text one </div> </div> <div class="Outer"> <div class="Inner"> Text two </div> </div> I have the following CSS Code:
.Outer{
width:150px;
float:left;
}
.Inner{
Margin:10px:
}
I would like to set the Inner div in first instance of Outer to have a margin-left of 0px. I have tried the following Code: .Outer:first-child .Inner{
margin-left:0px;
}
This works in Chrome but not in IE, but it does work if I apply the style inline to the First Inner Div. Can it be done within the CSS file? Hi all, I'm working on a page layout, and would like some advice. I have two questions. First, here is my code so far: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <meta name="Description" content="A Milwaukee Based Industrial Cleaning Company that specializes in Janitorial Programs, Green Cleaning, Specilaty Cleaning, One-Time Cleaning, Post-Construction Cleaning, Carpet Cleaning, Fabric Upholstery Care Floor Mainenance, Concrete Floor Coatings, Snow Removal, and Lawn Mainteneance"> <title>CSS Template</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/gibb.css" > </head> <body > <div id="containerDiv" style="width: 100%; height: 100%"> <div id="mastDiv" style="width: 100%; background-color: teal; height: 150px;"><p>tasd</p></div> <div id="contentDiv" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; background-color: red;"> <div id="leftArticleDiv" style="float: left; width: 90px; background-color: red;"> <p> Left Content <br /><br /> </p> </div> <div id="navDiv" style="width: 100%; height: 100px; background-color: gray; margin-left: 90px">Nav Content</div> <div id="mainDiv" style="background-color: blue; height: 100% width: 100%; margin-left: 90px;"> <p> Center Content<br /> longer <p> Center Content<br /> longer <p> Center Content<br /> longer <p> Center Content<br /> longer <p> Center Content<br /> longer </p> </div> <div id="footer" style="clear: left; height: 0px; visibility: hidden;"></div> </div> </div> </body> </html> This looks exactly how I would like it too in FF. My first question is, how can I fix it for IE. Specifically, navDiv and mainDiv appear below my leftArticleDiv, or they appear after it in IE. In FF they float right around the leftArticleDiv, but not IE. I've read many bug reports at ALA, but they don't seem to fit. Any ideas? Also, as you can see, my leftArticleDiv does not grow. That is, if it were to be longer than mainDiv, the results would be disatserous. Is ther anyway to have mainDiv and leftNavDiv always equall each other in height? So that whichever one were longer, the other one would be the same height? Thanks for your time. CJB Hi, I'm designing a web site using a full CSS layout with XHTML. It's quite challenging as I'm used to complex table designs. My design is located at http://www.definitedigital.com/vida/index.html And the style sheet at http://www.definitedigital.com/vida/style.css There's some things that look different across browsers, and I'm not sure if it's some sort of bug or my mistake. For example, 1. On Firefox the 'Punta Del Este Vida Beach House' link image is sometimes detected and sometimes unclickable. 2. There's much more vertical spacing between the divs (logo, photo, menu) in Firefox than in IE. I'd really appreciate if someone could take a look at my CSS, as I don't really know whether I'm doing this right or not. Thanks, Ralph I am using <ul><li> menu. My questions are, how can I keep one element from wrapping down, when the screen size gets too small? Also, how can I make the grey of the menu span across the whole div? I tried a few things like wrapping the menu in a div with a background, setting extra elements..ect. I can't seem to keep the design with the above solutions. Any help would be appreciated. - Gnome Html Code: <div id="MainContent"> <div id="Content"> <div id="Menu"> <ul><li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li ><li><a href="index.html">Products and Services</a></li ><li><a href="index.html">Employment</a></li ><li><a href="index.html">Blah</a></li ><li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li ></ul> </div> <div id="imageWrapper"> <img src="team.jpg" class="displayed" border="0" /> </div> <div> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet </div> </div> </div> CSS Code:
