CSS - Button And Anchor Styling. They Differ ...

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

Could anybody help me to fix my css...

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.

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.

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

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?

For some reason, the styling of the ul's and li's on part of my website doesn't seem to be working in IE. It works perfectly in every other browser.

The URL is:
wakeforestlawreview .com/category/the-journal

The part that isn't styling correctly is the "sidebar" with the Links, Law Blogroll and Archives.

Anyone have any ideas what's up with that?

Similarly, in IE, the search box is like, too low. It should be centered in the brown box, but it's like pushed down too far for some reason. Again, it looks right in every other browser. Ideas?

Thanks!

Hi I wonder if you can help me im just doing some stuff with css as practice and need to know about table bordering basically i can border the intire table and all the cells but i just want to be able to put a border around the rows not the individual cells but the rows in the table

I am displaying a Google feed on my site through an asp script that converts RSS to HTML. There is no room for images where the feed is, so we just take them out by setting display: none;. That solves one issue, but then the text is way off. I'm having trouble acessing the text after the picture so I can use absolute positioning and keep it left justified. See http://www.lsuhospitals.org/Hospitals/Bogalusa_Med_Center.htm for an example.

Here's the RSS to HTML source tabbed out as best I could. This conversion isn't perfect and still needs some work. What's in red is what I need CSS access to, but only when an image is present. Whew!

Code:

<html><head><title></title><LINK REL="StyleSheet" HREF="../../StyleSheets/HCSD.css" TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="screen"><style>body{margin: 0px; padding:0px; background-color:white;}</style></head><body>

And here are the relavent styles that I created. I have consulted my book "The Web Professional's Handbook" by glasshaus publishing. They have a decent CSS section (selectors on pgs. 96-97), but to no avail.

Code:

.rsscontainer {
	font-family: Verdana;
	color: black;
	width: 140px;
	background-color: white;
	padding: 0 0 0 0;
	margin: 0 0 0 0;
}

.rsscontainer table tr td font{
	font-size: 10px;
	line-height: 1.3;
	}

.rsscontainer table tr td a img {
	display:none;
	}

.rsscontainer table tr td a {
	font-family: Verdana;
	font-size: 10px;
	color: #461D7C;
	text-decoration: underline;
	}
	
.rsscontainer table tr td a:hover {
	font-family: Verdana;
	font-size: 10px;
	color: #7549B1;
	}
.rsscontainer table tr td a:visitied {
	font-family: Verdana;
	font-size: 10px;
	color: #7549B1;
	text-decoration: underline;
	}

Hi,

Im trying to style the button tags, mainly to obtain rounded corners, using images. I can't use '<a>' links to style, which would be simpler, as the button is being used for a program written specifically to use button tags.

I have the button working in IE 5, 8 and 9 and firefox but other incarnations do not.

body { behavior:url( hover.htc ); }

Code:

/* REQUIRED BUTTON STYLES: */                   
button {
            position: relative;
            color:#000000;
            border: 0;
            padding: 0;
            cursor: pointer;
            overflow: visible; /* removes extra side padding in IE */
            outline: 0;
 
}
 
button::-moz-focus-inner {
            border: none;  /* overrides extra padding in Firefox */
}
 
button span {
            position: relative;
            display: block;
            white-space: nowrap;    
}
 
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
            /* Safari and Google Chrome only - fix margins */
            button span {
                        margin-top: -1px;
            }
}
 
 
/* OPTIONAL BUTTON STYLES for applying custom look and feel: */                 
button.submitBtn {
            padding: 0 15px 0 0;
            margin-right:5px;
            font: normal 12px Tahoma;
            color:#000000;
            text-align: center;
            background: transparent url(btn_sprite2.gif) no-repeat right -140px;
}
           
button.submitBtn span {
            padding: 3px 0 7px 15px;
            height:15px;
            background: transparent url(btn_sprite2.gif) no-repeat left top;
            color:#000;
           
}
           
button.submitBtn:hover, button.submitBtnHover { /* the redundant class is used to apply the hover state with a script */
            background-position: right -210px;
}
           
button.submitBtn:hover span, button.submitBtnHover span {
            background-position: 0 -70px;
}
 
button.submitBtn:active, button.submitBtnActive { /* the redundant class is used to apply the hover state with a script */
            background-position: right -140px;
}
           
button.submitBtn:active span, button.submitBtnActive span {
            background-position: left top;
}

Code:

<button value="submit" class="submitBtn"><span>Submit</span>

The above is the method i have used so far. Does anyone know how i could improve on this, or another method that maybe beneficial?

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers.

Hello all, need a little help on a small link styling issue I am having. I am using the following style for links with the target="_blank" attribute, and it is working fine, but it is also applying itself to images that are linked with the _blank attribute:

Code:

article.post a[target~="_blank"],
article.post a[target~="_blank"]:visited {
	background:url(/Images/web/template/body2alt/external.png) center right no-repeat;
	padding-right: 12px; 
	color: #0066CC;
	text-decoration:underline;
}

Is there another line I can add to my CSS file so it will only apply this style to text and not images? I tried the following, but it didn't help:

Code:

article.post img a[target~="_blank"],
article.post img a[target~="_blank"]:visited {
	background:none;
	padding:0;
}

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi is there anyway of making the height of the textbox smaller. I know you an change the width of it

Hello,

I have built a new navigation system for this website I'm rehabbing. Please note that the new navigation is only currently installed on the Newsroom section.

I used this method (as was suggested by several people in this forum). I'm new to this method so now I need some help.

The menus appear to be working but I would like some help with styling these so they look awesome. Here is a list of things I'd like to do (help with any or all of these would be appreciated):

1. I'd like to add a small border around the drop-down menu without adding a border to the img buttons I have. These images fit perfectly in the Navigation div and if a border is added around each one, the Resource button goes to a second line... very undesirable.

2. Is there a way to widen the drop-down menus? As you can see, most of the categories in each menu don't fit on one line.

3. I also is there a way to add a hover background color to the links?

Thank you for your insight!
