CSS - Span Class Question
Why doesn't the class applied to the span tag do anything?
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
body {
font-family: Georgia, Times, serif;
font-size: 12pt;
}
#main p {
padding:0 10px;
}
.newssubhead {
font-size: 124%;
color:red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<p>
<span class="newssubhead">Test test test test test test test test test test test test </span>
<br>
Something else...
</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Similar TutorialsI 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 all I've got a styled ul+li element, and I've put a new color class in a span tag, for a link li a, li a:active, etc { color: #00FF00; } li a:hover { color: #00AA00; } spanclass a, span a:active, etc { color: #00FF00; } spanclass a:hover, etc { color: #00AA00; } <li>hello, <span class="spanclass"><a href="#">this is a link</a></span></li> Except it's completely ignoring the span class colors... Anyone know why? Hi, I have this style for font size. I then use span class to use it, but it only works in IE and not FF. Any ideas why? Have i got something wrong with it? PHP Code: .11px { font-family: verdana, arial, tahoma; font-size: 11px; } Hi, I have the following code: <h1>Some text <span class='special'>special text</span></h1> And my CSS: Code:
.special {
font-size: 10pt;
}
h1 .special {
font-size: 20pt;
}
The problem is, the SPECIAL text within the H1 tag above still remains as 10pt I want it to be 20pt only within the h1 tag. Is there a way I can do this? (Worst case: I would need to add a new style and update all my HTML code to use this new style..but I'm hoping there's a quick CSS fix) Many thanks! Is there a better way to declare custom fonts than doig like such style sheet .bluesmall {font-family: verdana} .bluesmall {color: blue} .bluesmall {font-size: 10px} /style sheet content <span class="bluesmall">example text</span> Hi I'm struggeling with the following: I have some span elements inside a td. If I apply padding to a span then the padding is flowing outside the td (above and below the borders of the td). Why does that happen and is there a way to make the td to autogrow to fit all the span's inside? Se example code below Code: <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width:300px; margin-top:50px;"> <tr> <td style="background-color:gray; text-align:center; border:1px solid black;"> <span style="margin-right:20px;">First</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">1</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">2</span> <span style="margin-right:20px; background-color:orange; padding:10px;">3</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">4</span> <span style="margin-right:20px;">5</span> <span style="">Last</span> </td> </tr> </table> ******* UPDATE ******* I found this link today: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FormattingContexts which says (among other things): ************************* Only one thing impacts the vertical space between inline elements: the line height. Normally, the line height is based upon the line height for the text in that line, or the height/padding/border/margin of any replaced items. The element on a line with the largest line height or replaced height is the one to define the vertical space that line takes up. Height, padding, border or margins on text do not impact the line height or the container height. Instead, borders, padding and margins overlap from line to line. If you want to give an inline text element some padding and border, make sure you give it some extra line height, too, or else it will overlap with whatever else is above or below it. ************************* So does that rule mean that I have no way to make my TD autogrow in relation to the padding applied to the SPAN in the example above? Is there any working workarounds for this...? I have searched but can't find a clear answer to what I suspect this is a noob question. please correct me if I am wrong. element#id ({} - applies to the element with id #id element {} - applies to all element that are in the block #id element.class {} - applies to all element with .class but what is .class element {} ? tia, Rand I went back to the Definitive Guide and found this covered in section 2.5.2. Descendant Selectors Really basic question. I've created a CSS text class. How do I reference it to apply to a text sample? I've been using this page as my guide: http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/css/article.php/3470231 But they only reference commands such as <I class="name"> and <U class="name">. I don't want to add any Italics or Underlines, so how do I only reference the class? Hi. See code below. Why does the outer SPAN in TABLE not grow with the image height. If the text is longer so it is forced below image then it looks as it should. Please also read some comments in the code. Code: <html><body><center><br><br> Why does image not force the outermost span to be at least as high as image?<br> If the text are long enough and gets below the bottom border of image it look good though.<br><br> NOTE: I need to put Image and text either within separate span or in same span as the examples below.<br> In my real application I'm using an <a href=" ...> around the outer span in examples below.<br> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px;"> <span style="display:block; float:left"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0"> </span> <span style="display: block; color: white;"> Text here. </span> </span> </td></tr></table> <br><br> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=200px><tr><td> <span style="display:block; background-color:#ffa827; padding-top:10px; padding-left:10px; padding-right:10px; color: white;"> <img src="landscape.jpg" height="40px" width="40px" alt="" border="0" style="float:left"> Text here. </span> </td></tr></table> </center></body></html> hey, I got a table, every <td> in the table got the css class .regular. (<td class='regular'>). When the user moves their mouse over a row, that row should change color. This works with the following code: <tr onmouseover='this.className=\"hoverRow\"'> However, this only works if the td's in that row have no class set yet. And since all td's in my table have a class set allready, i cant use this. How can i overwrite the class of the td's by the class for the whole row? thanks in advance Using the following example: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<a href="#" class="two on">two</a>
<a href="#" class="three on">three</a>
</body>
</html>
Notice how, in IE6 (works fine in FF), when the secondary style named 'on' is added, all 3 links in the 2nd set display the properties of the style: Code: a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on
{
color: green;
}
(since it is last in the list) rather than the style specified by their respective numbers (i.e. 'one', 'two' or 'three'). Is there a way to overcome this in IE. I've read several forums and know that the technique I'm trying to achieve is possible, however I can't seem to get it to work. Basically I'm trying to shift the background positions of both the list item I'm hovering over and the next list item. I'm sure its just a syntax error and not a logic error, anyways the code is below - any help would be greatly appreciated! Code:
HTML Code
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="#" class="search"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="battery"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="cart"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="contact"></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
.search, .contact, .cart, .battery
{
width:100px;
height:30px;
margin-left:-1px;
display:block;
}
.search
{
background-image:url(Images/search.png);
}
.contact

background-image:url(Images/contact.png);

}

{
background-position:0px 60px;
}
ul li a.search:hover ul li a[class=battery]
{
background-position:0px 60px;
}
Hi, I am currently trying to produce a website using CSS style sheets. I have used 'span' to position and align blocks of text on the page. All looks well, but when I try and validate the page I get an error message that says the <p> and <ol> tags cannot be used within <span> tags. Can anyone suggest anyway round this? Many thanks x Hi, Code: <tr><td colspan="2" height="5"></td></tr> <tr><td width="30%" align="right">City</td><td>This is supposed to be some content</td></tr> How do I imitate structure of the table above. In the example below the text between <span> if too long ends up on new line below <label> How do I make sure that it stay on right side? Code: <div><label>City</label><span>This is supposed to be some content when too long appears below span not below label</span></div> Thank you. hi, i have a chunk of dynamic text coming in. it can have html links in it. so something like: 'blah blah blah <a href="site">link text</a> blah blah' im trying to stylize the dynamic text with CSS. i can get the font size and everything to work but i can't get the link text to behave like i want it to. here's what i have: PHP Code: //the css class .articleDesc { font-family: verdana, arial, geneva, sans serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: none; text-decoration: none; color: #000000; } //trying to make all links red, doesn't work a.articleDesc { color: #FF0000; } //php print '<span class="articleDesc">' . $dynText . '</span>'; the links just come out default, ie. blue and purple... anyone know what's wrong here? I'm wondering is is it possible to have a <div> tag where a left <span> can stick to the left and a right <span> to stick to the right. What I'm looking for is .... ============================================ =[blah blah] (lot of spaces here) [blah blah]= ============================================ Code:
div.divTop
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 8px 0px;
width: 600px;
color: #000000;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: verdana;
font-size: 10pt;
font-style: normal;
text-indent: 20px;
}
span.spanTitle1
{
font-size: 16pt;
}
span.spanTitle2
{
font-size: 10pt;
}
[code]
[code]
<div class="divTop">
<span class="spanTitle1">blah blah1</span>
<span class="spanTitle2">blah blah2<img src="....."></span>
</div>
Edit: Can't make the ASCII text work here..... I'm a novice with CSS and HTML so the following may seem elementary to most of you. I'm a retail vitamin store owner with a website, (URL address blocked: See forum rules) . We do very well with our store front and are getting better and better with our online discount vitamin store. Our web master has programmed our site so we can easily insert new products. This is done in the <body>. Recently I've wanted to add some spice with color and formatting . At first I was doing this with something like <FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial" size="4" color="006600">. But now as I get into CSS and double checking all code with W3.org, it doesn't like this approach. Now I'm trying <span id="enzymatic" class="prod_description"> in the <body> with span#enzymatic p { color: green; } span#enzymatic h4{ color: blue; } etc. in a CSS definition file. It all works well, but W3.org still doesn't like where I've inserted the code. If you go to our page: (URL address blocked: See forum rules)=country-life-seniority-multivitamin You will get among other "errors" the following message: <h4>Seniority ™ Multi-Vitamin Capsules </h4> The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element. One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>"). Any hints as to what basic rules I'm breaking? Be kind. Many thanks, healthyphil Why is this? Code: <div style='margin:0 0px 5px 3px;text-align:center;background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:4px 0;border:2px solid #CCCCCC;'> <span style='color:#888888;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;'> RECENT BLOGS </span> </div> different than this? Code: <div style='margin:0 0px 5px 3px;text-align:center;background-color:#EEEEEE;padding:4px 0;border:2px solid #CCCCCC;'> <span style='color:#888888;font-weight:bold;font-size:10px;'>RECENT BLOGS</span> </div> Why is IE7 adding its own padding when i don't add a nl between the span and the content within the span? It's the display:block issue that also happens with images. But I just can't understand why IE7 would add spacing there, the 2 above are almost identical. Hello, Well this is a very simple question ... how can Iset the width of a span from CSS? Basically I tried setting the span with from CSS however the span size remained wrapped to the text inside rather then taking the width I desire. I check some interent forums, and found out that if I set the float:left the width is taken, but my span is no longer is place! is there a way to set the span width without having to set thr float:left option? thanks and regards, Sim085 |
