CSS - Redefining Css For Child Blocks
I have a multi-column layout. The "main" column has text within <p> tags defined thusly:
Code:
#main p {
font-family: Helvetica, Verdana, Geneva, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1.7em;
padding:0 10px;
}
Within that main columns are some <div> blocks that are arranged in a row at a certain place, define like this: Code: .mid_nav {
float:left;
width:110px;
margin:0px 10px 8px;
background:url("./images/pic_nav_bg.gif");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}
I would like to define different qualities to the <p> tags within these <div> blocks, but the original #main p definitions seem to over-ride whatever I try. Incidently, the reason I've defined the font-size in pixels is I need uniformity between IE and FF. Any suggestions? Similar TutorialsI'm basically asking the same question as this post, but hoping that I can press for a better solution. I have an element which contains an image and some text, and I need that element to expand to the width of the image, not the text. The size of the image will change, so I can't set a fixed width on the containing element. The code I have which doesn't work looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <span style="display: inline-block; border: 1px solid black"> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> <div>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio.</div> </span> </body> </html> The solution proposed in the post I linked to looks like this: Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <table width="1"> <tr> <td> <img src="someimage.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 200px;" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nam vel placerat sapien. Aenean tempus lorem justo, at eleifend mi. Nam elementum nisl ut elit blandit dapibus. Donec et massa turpis, ac tincidunt odio. </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The second example gives me the functionality I'm looking for, but I would really like to avoid using tables. I'm hoping there is a CSS solution to this. Thanks. Just like the title says, the child is wider than the parent, and i want it automatically centered, so t hat the centers of both divs are inline with each other. I tried the Code: margin 0px auto; which works if the child is smaller, but it doesn't seem to work in this case, any other ideas? Hi, I'm a bit confused with the relative/absolute positioning issue. I thought that relative would carry the normal flow of things, but as you can see with the code below, all of the DIV items that should follow each other are overlapping even though positioning is set to relative. Can anyone help me out as to what I am doing wrong? Thanx <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style> body { padding : 0; margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:0px; background:#FFF; height: 0px; width: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; } .titleBlue{ font-family: Arial; font-size:18px; color : #003896; } .darkBlue{ font-family: Verdena; font-size:11px; color : #003896; font-weight : bold; } .smallStyle{ font-family: verdana; font-size:10px; color : #000000; text-decoration : none; } #content{ position : relative; left:50%; width:730px; margin-left:-365px; } #hrColumn{ position : absolute; top : 0; left : 0; width : 149px; border-right: 1px dotted #5D89D1; margin-right : 5px; } #hrLogo{ position : relative; top : 0; margin-bottom:5px; } #linkSection{ position : relative; margin-bottom:10px; } #columnLink{ position : relative; } #linkArrowItem{ position : absolute; top : 3px; } #linkItem{ position : absolute; left : 12px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="content"> <div id="hrColumn"> <div id="hrLogo" class="titleBlue">Blablabla</div> <div id="linkSection" class="smallStyle"> <div id="columnLink"> <div id="linkArrowItem"><img src="arrowLogo.jpg" width="8" height="7" border="0" /></div> <div id="linkItem"><a href="#">Programs and Forms</a></div> </div> <div id="columnLink"> <div id="linkArrowItem"><img src="arrowLogo.jpg" width="8" height="7" border="0" /></div> <div id="linkItem"><a href="#">Development and Training</a></div> </div> <div id="columnLink" class="smallStyle"> <div id="linkArrowItem"><img src="arrowLogo.jpg" width="8" height="7" border="0" /></div> <div id="linkItem"><a href="#">Careers</a></div> </div> <div id="columnLink" class="smallStyle"> <div id="linkArrowItem"><img src="arrowLogo.jpg" width="8" height="7" border="0" /></div> <div id="linkItem"><a href="#">More...</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </body> </html> I am creating a top nav with links that are turned into floated blocks. I have 2 issues that I can't seem to figure out. 1. How do I keep the elements from wrapping? 2. How do I make the set of floated items centered? Here is what I have so far (see code below). Because the items are floated to the left, they stay anchored to left and aren't centered. I tried giving the nav div a width. That did allow it to be centered, but I don't know what the exact width of the combined link blocks would be, so if it is too short, it wraps, and if it is too wide it doesn't center evenly. Code:
#nav{
text-align:center;
padding-top:24px;
}
#nav a{
display:block;
float:left;
padding:13px;
text-transform:uppercase;
color:#9BA047;
background:#FFF;
line-height:1em;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight:bold;
}
#nav a:hover{
color:#85231C;
}
#nav a#logo{
float:left;
padding:0px;
}
<div align="center">
<div id="nav">
<a href="/" id="logo"><img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Associated Group" border="0" /></a><a href="/about-us.html">About Us</a><a href="/exterior.html">Exterior</a><a href="/interior.html">Interior</a><a href="/display.html">Display</a><a href="/employment.html">Employment</a><a href="/location.html">Location</a><a href="/contact.html">Contact</a>

I am using "Stylin' With CSS" book to learn how to do my website layout and I need to put some images on my website. I just need something simple... I have an image showing what I am trying to do but I can't post the url.... I basically just need to create a horizontal row of n images, n being 1 to 5. The images are very close in dimensions, but not exactly the same. How can I do this... Thanks, CD Code: a {
display:blocks;
width:100px;
height:20px;
border:1px solid #000000;
background:#CCCCCC;
}
This code works great in Internet Explorer, but Firefox doesn't seem to like the width and height settings. Does anyone know a way to do this in firefox? Thanks in advance! hi, im not sure if im posting in the right page but after viewing the page source, i think its the best way to post it right here i just want to know what should i learn to make such beautiful block/tables whatever call it just like at kathymarks dot com? any suggestion what should i learn from? links? thanks! on the side note, how about the tables/blocks on deviant art? thanks for the replies! Hi, I'm having a problem which I though should be fairly simple, but I've been hacking at it for many hours now. I want to align blocks horizontally at the bottom of a containing block. The containing block has a fixed height while the contained block do not. Here's a mockup of what I want: URL How should I modify the following code so that it renders like the above? Code: <div style="height:50px">
<div style="float:left">one</div>
<div style="float:left">two</div>

Thanks! Hi, i'm almost finished with my first css design. Everything works fine as far as i tested it. But when i refresh the graphical page (broadband) or click on the broadband link when i'm on the broadband page i get a white block on the left and right side of the page. It is very strange because it disappears when you scroll down and back up. Sometimes i have to refresh a couple of times, or switch between small- and broadband to see the effect. Code: http://users.pandora.be/jef_patat/test/index.htm I have no clue at all greetings, de Jef Hello. My first post at this section I'm trying to familiarize with all the positioning properties in CSS but got stuck when trying to migrate the table at the bottom of this code, to div blocks: Code:

I tried wrapping two <span> inside a <div> and float the second <span> to the right, but from what I read so far, floating is not the solution because it sets the element as a block even if it's inline. Although it works using plain old tables - btw why is IE rendering a somewhat different page then FF? - and I should follow the KISS rule I want to learn how can I make this work. Thank you a lot! APPEARS TO BE HASLAYOUT ISSUE IMAGE WITHIN ANCHOR NOT CLICKABLE. Hi Guys looking for a spot of help please. IE is driving me up the wall. Ive wrote a jQuery script for scrolling a list horizontally upon user clicking left or right. The list has anchors within it which are blocks which I want to be clickable with an image inside (fine in FF etc) but in IE the image within the anchor loses its ability to be clicked the rest if fine apart from I manually have to set the cursor to pointer to show the user its clickable still. Just when they click the item image within the anchor it does nothing. Here is a slim version of the HTML : Code:
<ul>
<li><a href="/page1.html"><span class="box_wrap"><span class="img"><img src="1.jpg" border="0" height="75" /></span><span>Item 1</span></span></a></li>
<li><a href="/page2.html"><span class="box_wrap"><span class="img"><img src="2.jpg" border="0" height="75" /></span><span>Item 2</span></span></a></li>
<li><a href="/page3.html"><span class="box_wrap"><span class="img"><img src="3.jpg" border="0" height="75" /></span><span>Item 3</span></span></a></li>
<li><a href="/page4.html"><span class="box_wrap"><span class="img"><img src="4.jpg" border="0" height="75" /></span><span>Item 4</span></span></a></li>

Just when you try to click any of the images within the boxes its not clickable. Really stumped. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Hello, I have a problem that is making me crazy! I have a simple page with some news on it. Every news is a <div> and contains two floating blocks: Image(floating left) and the text(also floating left). These blocks must stay side by side and NOT one over the other. The width of the news <div> can be 500-550px max for layout reasons. If the text is longer than the space available Firefox moves the entire text block under the image, while IE resize correctly the text block. I have tried to apply diplay:inline; to both blocks with no effect. Here is the test page Link (I have limited the width to 500px to simulate the real layout.) CSS: Code:
.news {
float: left;
clear:left;
margin: 0 0 1em 0;
width: 100%;
}
.img_hl {
float:left;
margin-right: 10px;
}
.newstext {
padding-top: 1em;
float:left;
}
Please help me!! -- Bye Redhawk How do I distinguish <li> that have child from the one that does not in an unordered list, using CSS? I have a typical suckerfish men that I am using but on the second level I am putting a left border around each list element. However, for Firefox I used the first-child pseudo selector but that will not work for Internet Explorer 6 and for some reason the alternative I'm using is not working. Here is the layout of my suckerfish menu. Code: <div id="menu">
<ul id="nav">
<li class="option1">Option 1
<ul class="secondlevel">
<li class="first">Option A</li>
<li>Option B</li>
<li>Option C</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="option2">Option 2
<ul class="secondlevel">
<li class="first">Option A</li>
<li>Option B</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="option3">Option 3
<ul class="secondlevel">
<li class="first">Option A</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="option4">Option 4
<ul class="secondlevel">
<li class="first">Option A</li>
<li>Option B</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
To reference the first child I should be able to call the class called first. So this is what I have and it doesn't work Code: ul#nav li.first {
border-left-style: none;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, teamhonda81 I was just wondering if there was an alternative other than adding a last class to the last element in a list for internet explorer. To explain the situation, I have a navigation list in a ul: Code:
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a href="/" title="Homepage">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="Homepage">About</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="Homepage">News</a></li>
<li><a href="/" title="Homepage">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- navigation -->
To get the look I want, tiled vertically with a white line in between elements, I am applying this style Code:
div#navigation
{
width: 200px;
margin: 0 0 0 10px;
float: left;
}
div#navigation ul { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
div#navigation ul li { background: #585858; border-bottom: 2px solid #e4eaef; padding: 0; }
div#navigation ul li a { display: block; color: #e4eaef; text-decoration: none; padding: 6px; }
div#navigation ul li a:hover { background: #fab511; display: block; color: #2c2c2c; text-decoration: none; }
/* only works in Mozilla */
div#navigation ul li:last-child { background: #585858; border-bottom: none; }
but of course the last-child pseudo class does not work in IE. Just curious. Also, what is the fix for the anchor element not expanding to the full width of the list item? Is there any way to change the background image of an element that is inside the current one? Kinda like this.child.style.backgroundImage = ""? Not sure if this would be more of a javascript question, if so sorry. I have an a tag with an ID and I want to change the background position of the child element which is an input button Code: <a href="javascript:;" id="buttonLeft" class="fromButtInput" onMouseOver="buttHover(this)" onMouseOut="buttOff(this)" > <input type="submit" id="buttonRight" value="Submit" border="0" /> </a> The "buttHover(this)" offsets the background image of the a tag. I can't figure out how to target the <input> inside without affecting all the other buttons. http://weightlossforever.ca/ Works fine in everything but ie7 the leaves appear in front of their parent, they should be behind it. Thoughts? I wrote a little div based expandable tree but am having trouble setting some of the conditional styling when a div has children. What I'd like, is that when a div has children, the "font-weight" should be set to bold. Ideally, I'd also like to use the "div:after" property to append a '>' indicating that the div has children, but that's not critical. I tried the following but it didn't work right: Code:
/* Styles the child, not the parent */
div.tnode > .tnode {
display: none;
font-weight: bold;
}
/* Doesn't do anything */
div.tnode:after > .tnode {
content: '>';
}
And here's the basic css with html Code:
<html>
<head>
<style>
/* Node container styles */
div.tcontainer {
width: auto;
height: auto;
font-family: Lucida Grande, Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular;
font-size: 12;
color: black;
padding: 5 5 5 30;
}
/* Node styles */
div.tnode {
display: inherit;
padding: inherit;
}
div.tnode:hover {
cursor: pointer;
}
/* Node child styles */
div.tnode > .tnode {
display: none;
font-weight: bold;
}
div.tnode:hover > .tnode {
display: block;
}
/* doesn't work
div.tnode:after > .tnode {
content: '>';
}
*/
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class='tcontainer'>
<div class='tnode'>North America
<div class='tnode'>USA

Any help appreciated Thanks Ken Hey, all! I'm having a seemingly simple problem... and I'd really appreciate if you guys could help me out! I have no idea how to do what I want done, but I know it's possible. I want to give every <tr> in <table class="forumList"> a 'border-bottom: 1px solid #000;' style.... except for the last <tr>. HOWEVER, if a new table is created, I want it to start showing the border-bottom again... until the last <tr> in the table. How would I go about doing this? |
