CSS - Confusion With A:link{}
Hey,
I have the following in a CSS document: Code: /* Link Colors */
a:link { color: #000000; }
a:visited { color: #000000; }
a:hover { color: #888888; }
a:active { color: #000000; }
/* User Class colors */
.classadmin { color: #FF0000; font-weight: bold; }
.classmod { color: #0066FF; font-weight: bold; }
.classmember { color: #00CC00; font-weight: bold; }
In the Active Users section of my site, I link to the user's profile, and I would also like the color of the link to be the color of the user's class. My HTML code is: Code: <a class="classmember" href="user.php?id=1">$username</a> But, I also have a Color Key: Code: Color Key: <font class="classmember">Member</font>, <font class="classmod">Moderator</font>, <font class="classadmin">Administrator</font>. I thought I could do something like: a.classmember:link { color: #00CC00; font-weight: bold; } But that messes up the Color Key. So, I don't know how I can have the .classmember, .classmod, and .classadmin override the a:link {} pseudoclasses. Thanks for any suggestions! Similar TutorialsHi all, first post to the forum after signing up over two years ago... I work mostly on the server side, so I'm hoping that someone can advise me on the trouble I'm having with CSS. http://www.commafruit.co.uk/play/css/imageplace.html In the link above, I have two images, both with the following css: Code: <img src='planet.png' style='width:5; height:5; position:relative; left:20px; top:10px;' /> <img src='planet.png' style='width:5; height:5; position:relative; left:20px; top:20px;' /> Please could someone explain why they are not in line vertically? They both have left:20px, so surely they should be one on top of the other? The fact that this is not the case in Firefox or IE makes me think I'm really missing the point, and I've been going around and around trying to figure out what. Thanks for any replies. Also, I'd prefer not to use absolute positioning as I'd like to keep the images relative to the div. B. Hi There - Am having some confusion with CSS inheritance. I'm working with a Drupal where I don't have control over the html output and everything seems to have extra layers of divs generated by the cms. I have a large container div with id=forum. Nested inside a table inside that div are more divs. Inside of that I have links inside a div that has class=name. Like this: Code: <div id="forum"> <ul> </ul> <table> <thead> </thead> <tbody> <tr class="odd"> <td class="container" colspan="4"> <div style="margin-left: 0px;"> <div class="name"> </div> <div class="description">Containers that will look OK as and when we decide to use forum Containers.</div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td class="forum"> <div style="margin-left: 30px;"> <div class="name"> <a href="/forums/samplecontainer/sample-forum-for-sample-container">Sample forum for sample container</a> </div> How do I address these so that only the links within the forum are affected by this rule? The following rule is affecting all of the links in the whole site, no matter what the id or class. I thought I understood how to address these, but it's clear to me now that I don't. I'd appreciate any help I can get with this. Just to be clear, I'm trying to address the text that says 'Sample forum for sample container' in the very last div in the code above. Here's what I was trying to use: Code:
#forum .name a:link, a:visited, a:hover {
color:#F79239;
}
I've also tried permutations; #forum.name a:link etc. I don't want to be 'lucking' into something that sorta works. I really want to nail this. I'm trying to align one div to the bottom inside of another, and a third div to just beneath that one. Since the third div will appear on mouseover, it needs to lie on top of other content that will already be there. I've tried various combinations of positioning, setting margins, etc., but I can't figure out a solution that will work in all the browsers. This is just the bare bones so that you can maybe see what I'm trying to achieve here.... Confused? Yes, me too; Here's the html: Code: <html> <head> <link href="test2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="widebar"> <div id="tabs"> <div class="menu1">I want these</div> <div class="menu2">to align to the</div> <div class="menu3">very bottom </div> <div class="menu4">of this div </div> <div id="tabs2">Align this to the bottom left corner of the Tabs 1 section so that it shows up just below the dark blue area</div> </div> </div> Here is some text that will sit below the these divs and I don't want the mouseover to "push" this text out of the way. The div that appears on mouseover should sit "on top" of this text with no interference. </body> </html> And here's the css, thus far: Code:
/* css */
#widebar {
width:100%;
height: 200px;
background: #ffccff;
}
#tabs {
float:right;
display:block;
#position: absolute;
#bottom:0;
height: 200px;
background:#334ddd;
width:50%;
}
#tabs2 {
clear:both;
#position: relative;
#bottom: 0;
background: #567dfe;
}
.menu1, .menu2, .menu3, .menu4 {
float:left;
width: 100px;
background: #ccc;
}
Hi there, thanks for reading my post. I am looking to build a website using ASP, with databases. After receiving some advice from some (more experienced) friends, they recommended learning CSS. They said something along the lines of "its better than using frames because Search Engines will index your site better and you will have more control over your pages - changing one style sheet can change your whole site easily". I thought it sounded like what I need as I am hoping to produce a fairly professional looking site, however I am still a little confused. I am unsure if this is a "webdesign" problem, so forgive me if I have posted in the wrong place, but I am interested to know how navigation menus are made. What I mean is, I dont understand how to make a menu on the left of the page control the right panel of a page without using frames . I have spent some time reading the (70) examples on www.w3schools.com but I cannot seem to find the answer - so now I am worried that it cannot be done!! If anyone could perhaps paste some quick code for me to look at/reverse engineer or, equally useful, perhaps give links to a few tutorials/web resources on this I would be very grateful. Another question if I may (?!) - when designing navigation menus (top or left or whatever), is it best to use text that highlights to make the links to navigate the site, or to make the links into pictures (i.e. have a whole menu created from small buttons aligned underneath each other). I hope my question is clear. Thanks to anyone who can help, Regards, Porky I am having trouble understanding what exactly the CLASS, ID, DIV, and SPAN elements and attributes do. What are there purposes? How do the relate to each other? When should one be used and not another? In laymens terms please. Thanks Hi I want to create a text rollover menu on the very left hand side only (standard display). I want it in a table so I can have content on right hand side. I don't know whether to have each link in its own cell or 1 big cell and have a list of items. I decided to have a list of items but the items display on right side of the table cell and align left doesn't work. Code:
a {
display: block;
width:100px;
text-decoration: none;
}
#list1 { /* all list items */
background: lightblue;
border-width:1px; /* thin is not the same in different browsers */
border-color:black;
border-style:solid; /* required */
list-style-type:none;
}
I just want the list to display on left hand side and have a box around each item which it isn't. I am spending way too long fiddling about with this . Hi everyone! I'm taking my first CSS class and am running into some problems formatting a table. Specifically getting the rows to line up center along with the table headings. Well, except for the first one that should be left aligned. This is my validated CSS code: Code:
.cell-alpha {
font-size: 25px;
background-image: url('headercellbackground.png');
color: #FF9933;
width: 85%;
}
.cell-bravo {
font-size: 25px;
background-image: url('headercellbackground.png');
color: #FF9933;
text-align: center;
}
tbody tr.odd {
background-color:lightyellow;
color: red;
}
tbody tr.even {
background-color:red;
color: white;
}
tbody tr.total {
background-color:#6699FF;
color: yellow;
}
table {
table-layout: fixed;
width: 700px;
}
How would I get each column centered since the data is entered in table row sections? Also, how to get all of the headings to line up baffle me. This is how it SHOULD look : URL And this is how its rendering with my CSS: table Everytime I think I am getting the hang of CSS -- for simple pesonal homepages, etc -- they still always seem to get the worse on me. I am trying to generate a moderately simple page with title, prelude, menu (as per a table) with menu, content and comment box, followed by a quick sumary, etc. I seem to be having troubles getting the three -- menu, content & comment boxes -- to size correctly. I have a surounding box (by a div) for them, but they do not seem to entirely follow/use it as their parent... If I set them to top:0, it is the top of the window frame, but otherwise they seem to position within their more local parent div. Ultimately, I am striving to get into this CSS way of 'life', but it is very difficult as I am working mainly alone. I do have books but perhaps I am not seeing the info entirely correct... Perhaps some of you chaps/gurus can help me here. I have recently gathered that "html" is or should be used in the CSS file too...? Looking for help. My current (broken) home page can be accessed via: "dgringo.homeip.net/~dgringo/index.shtml" Here is the code and the CSS file: <head> <title>...</title> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="main.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="entry.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <h1>Me (iMac's) Web-space</h1> <div id="prelude"> <!--#include virtual="includes/header.incl" --> </div> <table id="main"> <tr> <td id="menu"> <!--#include virtual="includes/menu.incl" --> </td> <td id="content"> <!--#include virtual="includes/body.incl" --> </td> <td id="topics"> <p> <!--#include virtual="includes/topic1.incl" --> </p> <p> <!--#include virtual="includes/topic2.incl" --> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <div id="footer"> <!--#include virtual="includes/footer.incl" --> </div> <div class="adendeum"> Last updated <!--#echo var="LAST_MODIFIED" --><br /> </div> </body> </html> ------------- The CSS file now follows: a:link {text-decoration:none;color: black;} a:visited {text-decoration:none;color: black;} a {color: black;} a:hover {text-decoration:underline;color: silver;} body { color: #000000; background: #669999; } h1 { text-align: center; } #prelude { width: 80%; background-color: #CCCC99; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 10px; padding-right: 10px; text-align: center; } #main { display: block; width: 100%; border: silver dotted; height: 16em; } #main td { border: dashed; } #menu { position: absolute; width: 20%; left: 2%; } #content { position: absolute; left: 23%; width: 50%; } #topics { position: absolute; left: 74%; width: 20%; } p:first-line { color: gray; background-color: green; } #footer { text-align: center; width: 80%; background-color: #CCCC99; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 3px; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-right: 10px; } .adendeum { font-weight: lighter; color: gray; text-align: center; } Hi, okay I am working on a website for a friend, and it is peak-performance.biz I want the background image to fill up the page and be unscrollable. I made it work and look very good in chrome but it only takes up half the page in firefox. I was wondering if anyone have any ideas how to fix this. Thanks for your advice in advance. I have used html{ background-color:#000000; background-image:url(images/background.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-size:1300px; height:1000px; background-attachment:fixed; } and html{ background-color:#000000; background-image:url(images/background.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-size:100%; background-attachment:fixed; } 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}

Hey, so I have a div section where I want links to go, which all have an arrow image before them. I want a bit of space after the image too. Whats the easiest way to set this up? Thanks! I have a style for links that I use in my main navigation menu, like so: Code:
a.main_nav
{
color:#FFFFFF;
font-size:12px;
}
a.main_nav:link{ text-decoration: none }
a.main_nav:visited{ text-decoration: none }
a.main_nav:active{ text-decoration: none }
a.main_nav:hover{ text-decoration: underline; }
How can I wrap all the links in a <div> and not have to specify the class on each <a> ? |
