CSS - Combining Tags And Classes, Proper Way
hi,
is this the proper way to do this? i'm trying to have every link with certain properties and then have classes define specific links. it works, but i wonder if this is the proper way to do so. Code: a:link{color: #0000dd; font-family: tahoma; font-size:12px;} a:active{color: #0000dd; font-family: tahoma; font-size:12px;} a:visited{color: #0000dd; font-family: tahoma; font-size:12px;} a:hover{color: #0000ff; font-family: tahoma; font-size:12px;} a.big {font-weight:bold;} thank you Similar TutorialsI'm doing this little look and feel thing to a Drupal site. In order to really do this I had to fire up a play Drupal on my testbed. Here's the testbed: http://chamber.colleenweb.com The top menu (where the tabs are horizontal the menus pop down) they want the sub menus not to cover up any of the main menu text when you mouseover them. I don't know absolutely where the bottom is, because it's height is based on how much text they have in the parent so I'm not sure how to do it. As you see the first menu tab has just one line, and its submenu naturally pops up where they want it. The second one, however has two lines of text, and so its popup obscures the lower part of the main menu tab's text. What do I override in the styles and what do I override it to? I'm using the Drupal nice_menus module. Here are the styles that come with it: http://chamber.colleenweb.com/contrib/modules/nice_menus/nice_menus.css And here is what I have overridden so far in my skin's style Mainly torquing the width, moving the arrow to the top, and taking away the borders. I tried torquing the height but I could not get a fixed height that looked good in both IE and FF. Code: ul.nice-menu-down li.menuparent { background-position: right top; } ul.nice-menu-down li.menuparent:hover, ul.nice-menu-down li.over{ background-position: right top; } ul.nice-menu-down li li.menuparent{ backgroundi-position: right top ; } ul.nice-menu-down li li.menuparent:hover, ul.nice-menu-down li li.over{ background-position: right top; } ul.nice-menu, ul.nice-menu ul{ border-top: 0px; } ul.nice-menu li { border: 0px; } /* style for nice down menus color font etc. */ ul.nice-menu-down li a { font-family: Lucida Grande, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 13px; color: #003366; width: 96px; } ul.nice-menu-down li { width: 111px; } Oh and one more question, How do I make the very top graphic not have any blue border on it (only problem on IE on FF it is fine) I've heavy handedly 0px all the margin padding border and and it's still there. I created to CSS classes and I am applying them to elements like so: Code: <div class="IC16 ICR16"></div> The CSS is the following: Code: .IC16 { width: 16px; height: 16px; padding-top: 2px; display: run-in; cursor: pointer; } .ICR16 { margin-left: 5px; padding-right: 16px; } Is there any way I could compress the CSS code above so that ICR16 gets the styles from IC16 (without IC16 losing individuality) so that I only have to use "ICR16" in the example I gave? Hi there. I've got two styles defined for links...one of which is Code: A:link#redir { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #C90016; text-decoration:none; } A:visited#redir { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #C90016; text-decoration:none; } A:hover#redir { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #C90016; text-decoration:none; display:inline; } when i want the link to be the 'redir' style, i put Code: <a href="http://www.whatever.com" id="redir">clicky</a> but that won't validate because id's are supposed to be unique. what's the deal? thanks! Ok, so I'm having some problems getting my site to look how I want. The formatting appears correctly in all browsers (I think) but in IE it's horribly messed up. This is my first site that I'm making just to learn some things and I don't know much CSS at all. I've tried reading up but am not sure how to properly use CSS to make this work cross browser capable. Basically, I want my text box search bar properly centered along with my logo and the "advanced search" and "preferences" links. I painted over some stuff for privacy heh. In FireFox, it looks like this ( http://img261.imageshack.us/img261/9625/ex1hu0.jpg ) but in IE, it looks like this ( http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/4631/ex2sm7.jpg ). So basically in IE the search bar and what not is aligned too high! How can I use CSS to make it looks like it does in FireFox, in all browsers!? I learn best by example so thanks much for any help!!! My probably terrible code is as follows: Code: <table> <tr> <td valign="middle"> <a href="/home"><img src="logo.jpg"></a> </td> <td valign="middle"> <form id="SearchBarForm" action="search.php" method="get"> <input type="text" name="q" size="30" maxlength="150" value="'.($q).'" title="Search"> <select name="FTS"> <!-- FTS = File Type Selections --> <option value ="File_Type">File Type</option> </select> <font size=-1><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search"></form></font> </td> <td nowrap> <a href=/advanced_search.phpf>Advanced Search</a><br> <a href=/preferences.php>Preferences</a> </td> </tr> </table> I have recently begun training on CSS. I would say I am pretty skilled with the basics of creating a layout. I can pretty much do any layout, 3 column, 2 column, or whatever. The way I have been doing this is though is to specify the width using pixels of each <div> area. I have also been specifying the margins: and padding: using the exact pixels as well. I know this way does not cause the website to resize when I resize my browser. I also know that in order to cause it to resize I need to use %'s and such. Is there an advantage to this besides the obvious resizing ability. What do you guys all do? And is the best way to do a layout to use the <div> and then set up my scripts to display in the content <div> area each time? Thanks. For a page I'm writing, when I call a new object, a document.write() line is called in which it writes html/css tags to bring a picture corresponding to that object on the page. The problem is it won't let me change the properties that I normally could, such as .top or .left, etc. For example, when I make the object "chef" there is a line: document.write("<div id='chefDiv' style='position:absolute; top:"+this.y+"; left:"+this.x+"; z-index:2'><img src="+this.src+" name='chefbmp'></div>"); Then, in a totally different area of the code I try: document.getElementById('chefDiv').style.top = 200; ... and the location of the chefDiv does not change. However if I try the code: alert(document.getElementById('chefDiv').style.top); ... it will bring an alert message that says "407px". What am I doing wrong here? Is there something different about this because I'm using objects and constructors? Or is it because I'm using document.write(....) instead of directly writing the html in the page? How can I change the aspects of my chefDiv? Thanks! Kevin Thanks for reading my question. I went to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ to see how I was doing on my CSS. Seems I'm doing ok. I am just having problem with the Scrollbar portion. What is the proper way of doing this? Here is my result from the validation Quote: Errors URI : file://localhost/kelly.css * Line: 0 Context : #info Property scrollbar-face-color doesn't exist : #ffac11 * Line: 0 Context : #info Property scrollbar-highlight-color doesn't exist : #ffac11 * Line: 0 Context : #info Property scrollbar-shadow-color doesn't exist : #d4940e * Line: 0 Context : #info Property scrollbar-arrow-color doesn't exist : #b12514 http://www.websitedev.de/css/validator-faq says a bit about it. Just wondering if Any of the scrollbar stuff is allowed, and will be validated? Thanks, Brad Some of you may have seen my other post where I was trying to encorporate css into a JS menu. After some of your thoughts I decided to scrap that and write it in CSS. I am relatively new to CSS. I am not looking for you to code this for me, but maybe give me some ideas on what to try and why I am breaking things . here is a link to the page with just the code posted below in action: PAGE IS HERE Here is my CSS: Code: /**************** nav coding *****************/ #nav1 { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; line-height: 18; width: 10em; background: #555555; font: normal 12px Verdana;} #nav1 ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; line-height: 18; width: 100%; font: normal 12px Verdana;} #nav1 a { margin: 0; display: block; width: 10em; color: #f2f2f2; border-bottom: 1px solid #c0c0c0; text-decoration: none;} #nav1 ul li a:hover { color: #f2f2f2; background: #8b8b8b; } #nav1 li { float: left; width: 10em; background: #555555;/* width needed or else Opera goes nuts */ } #nav1 li ul { /* second-level lists */ position: absolute; width: 10em; left: -999em; border-left: 1px solid #c0c0c0; /* using left instead of display to hide menus because display: none isn't read by screen readers */ } #nav1 li ul ul { /* third-and-above-level lists */ margin: -16px 0 0 10em; } #nav1 li:hover ul ul, #nav1 li:hover ul ul ul, #nav1 li.sfhover ul ul, #nav1 li.sfhover ul ul ul { left: -999em; } #nav1 li:hover ul, #nav1 li li:hover ul, #nav1 li li li:hover ul, #nav1 li.sfhover ul, #nav1 li li.sfhover ul, #nav1 li li li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */ left: auto; } #nav-menu ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; font: normal 12px Verdana;} #nav-menu li a{ float: left; margin: 0;} #nav-menu li a{ background: url(MenuBackground.jpg) #fff left repeat-x; height: 30px; line-height: 18px; float: left; width: 9em; display: block; border-right: 1px dotted #c0c0c0; color: #f2f2f2; text-decoration: none; text-align: center; } /* Hide from IE5-Mac \*/ #nav-menu li { float: none; margin: 0;} /* End hide */ #nav-menu { width: auto; } here is my page code: Code: <div id="nav-menu"> <ul> <li><a href="#">Services</a></li> <li><a href="#">About us</a></li> <li style="border-style: none;"><a href="#">Contact us</a></li> </ul> </div> <br><br><br> <ul id="nav1"> <li><a href="#">Services</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Link 1</a> <ul> <li><a href="#">Sub Link 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sub Link 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sub Link 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sub Link 4</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sub Link 5</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#">Link 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Link 4</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> What I am trying to do is make it so that on mouseover the 1 menu system you see, the second menu drops down below whichever element your mouse is on. I keep making it so that my background image is adopted into the lower menu system and I don't want that. I just want the first menu to maintain its look while the second one drops down below it, maintaining its look. (I haven't gotten it to look the way it should in IE yet. FF has a better representation right now) Hi , I am really stuck in this css . i have tried a lot but cant get it working right in i.e6 . It is working fine with firefox but not i.e 6 .I am already using a javascript which makes css works for i.e 6 . i have attach the image where it shows the difference . Here is my css code . Code: #nav, #nav ul{ margin:0 0 0 18px; top:auto; padding:0px; list-style-type:none; list-style-position:outside; position:relative; line-height:2em; font-weight:bold; font-family:"times new roman"; letter-spacing:-1px; font-size:17px; } #nav li ul{ font-size:15px; font-weight:normal; background-color:#000000; width:auto; height:auto; top:auto; margin:0; letter-spacing:0px; border:0 none black; } #nav a{ display:block; padding:0px 5px; color:#fff; text-decoration:none; } #nav a:hover{ color:#FFB208; cursor:pointer; } #nav li{ float:left; position:relative; margin:0 0 0 12px; } #nav ul { position:absolute; display:none; width:12em; top:33px; } #nav li ul a{ width:12em; height:auto; float:left; vertical-align:text-top; } #nav ul ul{ top:auto; } #nav li ul ul { left:12em; margin:0 0 0 10px; float:left; right:auto; } #nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul, #nav li:hover ul ul ul ul{ display:none; } #nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li li li:hover ul, #nav li li li li:hover ul{ display:block; } Javascript code:- Code: function mainmenu(){ $(" #nav ul ").css({display: "none"}); // Opera Fix $(" #nav li").hover(function(){ $(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "visible",display: "none"}).show(500); },function(){ $(this).find('ul:first').css({visibility: "hidden"}); } ); } $(document).ready(function(){ mainmenu(); }); Is there anything more i need to do in my css file? Regards, Umair hello everyone, does anyone know how can i connect both the outline and the border-radius? it works fine beside the outline is square (btw both does not work on ie for some reason, why's that?) code is: Quote: outline: #ffc614 solid 5px; -moz-border-radius: 15px; border-radius: 15px; -webkit-border-radius: 15px; thank you. Prior to doing any serious mobile work, I learned if you had an image that was mostly decorative and didn't need to be read as part of the content, you used a background image. In today's world you have to support many mobile devices. There's a nice trick with <img> tags where you give them a max-width of 100%, and they will scale down proportionately on mobile devices. As far as I can tell, there isn't quite as good of a solution for background-images. Say I have a background image in a div, and I set the dimensions to match the background size - 600 x 300. To allow it to scale down on mobile devices, I set a max-width of 100%. But that doesn't scale the background image down, just crops it. So I set background-size: contain, which makes the background scale, but the div is still 300px tall. And that's where I run into the problem. How do I tell the div to only be as tall as its background? Am I missing something? alright I have a css/folder in root directory. I have files in child directories, I'm calling the parent file by ../folderlocation/file to use my css but my images wont load that are in that css... The files in root directory show images that use exact same css.. only difference is those files are in root, and the one in child directories wont show images. The layout is shown though, any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Hello all. May I ask for your help? I just finished developing a site for personal page (e.g. blog, myspace, etc) promotion, but I'm having troubles correcting my stylesheet. The home page is basically a bunch of pictures of people, but I don't have anyone loaded in the system yet, so I can't get a feel for whether or not it is behaving properly. This probably sounds like SPAM, but oh well. Would anyone be willing to give it a try and provide your thoughts in this post? The web address is http://www.klik.us. Thanks a ton for any help/comments. CSS Definition: span.votelinks { right: 0; position: absolute; padding: 1px 280px 0 0; background: none; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; } Its use in a .tag file: <span class="votelinks"> <a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/secured/vote.do?id=${article.id}&type=ARTICLE&good=true"><img border=0 src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/good.gif"/></a> ( ${requestScope.UP_VOTES} ) <a href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/secured/vote.do?id=${article.id}&type=ARTICLE&good=false"><img border=0 src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/images/bad.gif"/></a> ( ${requestScope.DOWN_VOTES} ) </span> The problem is that the icons are centered perfectly but the text isn't. Is there a way to only pad the text? Thanks in advance, Mark Hi! I am beginning to use and learn CSS in more depth as of recent, and I've came across an issue which I wonder if it is a known one, or if it is related to my code. Within a parent div, I have floated a div element to the right of another div element with the use of float:right; . The floated div is a class which is used two times in this instance, thus I want to define the margin-left it should have to the leftmost element in the parent div, but also which the second iteration of this will have in relation to the first one. However combining the float:right; and margin-left:xx; lines, the element margin does not start with the end of the leftmost div element which I am seeking to float it to the right of, rather, the margin is for some reason beginning in the middle of the parent div. Is there any known issue here that I need to be aware of, and is it possible to get the margin to start at the end of the first (and leftmost) div element. I am using a margin-right for the time being to get some reasonable positioning, however the result is a compromise of what I originally intended. There is a big amount of space that shows up in firefox and not IE on a page I am trying to develop. temporary site <--- fixed. in a state of constant change. The css is layout.css . I have had two people try to design a template in photoshop for me but they are dragging their butts. I decided to just start without them with a simple template. I know there are problems. I probably coded things wrong and not efficient and the image is also too big. It also doesn't validate if anyone checks that(it is because of my transparencies). I really would like to know what is causing the extra space in firefox. If you have comments on other stuff feel free to comment because this is my first attempt at a css template. Also if anyone has an idea for a design feel free to draw something up. Join Date: May 2008 Posts: 2 Firefox bug combining absolute and fixed positioning Hey helpful people. I am designing a site which has a floating toolbar (position: fixed) with popup menus. The popup menus are using nested lists and position: absolute to display. JavaScript is dealing with the transition. The problem is that in firefox alone the fixed toolbar jumps when the popup menus show and hide. Removing either position: fixed or the offset (bottom: 27px) removes this problem. However these need to be present in the design. Anyone know a workaround?

Works in FF but only partially in IE (sometimes). The tabbed portion of the interface is set up with CSS and background images. In IE im having trouble getting them to show properly but only on 1 layer. When the Javascript changes the display property of the div it brings up the appropriate background image. But only on 3 of the 4 content divs. The fourth panel "Specs" or the div#panel4{} is displaying ok, except that it will not bring up the image for the div#TopRight4 Here is the code, and a link to a test page so that you can view it in action... any ideas? html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <html> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body {margin:0;padding:0;} div#container {position:absolute;left:20px;top:20px;width:631px;} div#panel2, div#panel3, div#panel4 {display:none;} div#panel1 {display:block;} div#panel_style{margin-top:5px;} div.panel_links1{width:131px;float:right;text-align:center;line-height:47px;vertical-align:50%;} div.panel_links2{width:131px;float:right;text-align:center;lineheight:47px;vertical-align:50%;} div.panel_links3{width:131px;float:right;text-align:center;lineheight:47px;vertical-align:50%;} div.panel_links4{width:131px;float:right;text-align:center;lineheight:47px;vertical-align:50%;} div.panel_links a{text-decoration:none;} div.panel_links a:hover{color: gray;text-decoration:underline;} div.panelTopLeft{ background-image:url(images/CP_top_left.gif);

When i test them in IE the text runs into to image. I am using div classes to control the image. Any insight on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated and hints or solutions would be more then welcomed. I am banging my head against a will trying to figure this out. Thankyou All Hi people, critique this piece of code for a yellowheader and a blue id and tell me what the problem is. It seems both end up as black <style type="text/css"> h3.Big Bird{color:yellow;}/*Class Font#CookieM{color:blue;}/*Id*/ </style> <h3 class="BigBird">Big Bird</h3> <font Id="CookieM">Cookie Monster</Id> Hope to hear from you soon. kaz |
