CSS - Why Does Adding An * Make The Display: None Work?
Hey everyone,
I am making a menu in CSS( and javascript ) and I was wondering why the following doesn't work: Code: #menu ul li {
display: none;
}
But this does: Code: #menu ul * li {
display: none;
}
Adding an * makes it work in firefox and ie, is this a bug or something, or am I just on drugs? Similar TutorialsHi I have a page which has a header, footer, nav bar and content area using CSS and works great in IE8, FF, Chrome and Safari, and almost works in Opera. Although I have tried to avoid it, my boss wants the page to work in IE6 as we have corporate clients still using it, and I CANNOT figure out how to arrange it without fixed sizing! Can anyone help?

The red borders are purely so I can see where the DIVs are and don't need to be in the final version. Any help would be greatly appreciated... SW. <style type="text/css"> select{width:75px} option{width:150px} </style> I'm guessing the answer is no but I thought i would ask. In firefox that does exactly what it says it will. in ie all content is squashed in the options. I thought I've seen it work in IE but I dont recall where or how it was done. I was told awhile back that z-index would fix the issue i am having. the issue i am having is that my css popdown menus are hiding behind my flash embed!! EXAMPLE HERE Just scroll over the navigation at the top and you will see what i mean. The situation is very simple: Code: <div id="maindiv" style="border:1px solid #000000; width:400px; margin:0px; padding:0px;">
<div id="reddiv" style="border:1px solid #FF0000; width:150px; float:left;">
red box<br>
red box<br>
red box<br>
red box<br>
red box<br>
red box<br>
</div>
<div id="greendiv" style="border:1px solid #00FF00; margin-left:170px; width:100px;">
green box<br>
green box<br>
green box<br>
green box<br>
</div>
</div>
AS you can see, I have a main div. Inside it, I have 2 divs: red and green. If I enter text into the green div, the main div resizes automatically. But if I enter text into the red div, the main div doesn't resize, and so the red div overflows. What I need is either enter text in the red or green divs and make the main div to auto resize. (I'm using Mozilla FireFox) Any Idea? http://img55. imageshack .us/img55/6775/cssexamplesy8.png ^ please remove the space before and image shack to view the image I've taken a screenshot of a problem I need help with, which is how IE and Firefox handle nested lists. Using code like this: Code:
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
<li>item 2</li>
<li>
<ul>
<li>sub item 1</li>
<li>sub item 2</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>item 3</li>
</ul>
Firefox displays the new list without being pushed down yet IE seems to create the space for where the list item would be and I can't figure out how to remove the space / how to get it to act like firefox. Removing the list item that holds the nested ul solves all problems but it isn't valid so I'm looking for another solution. Cheers I'm including some images within a UL. I've coded them in there to float. IE displays the list as I want but NN and Opera won't play along. In fact they both "get it wrong" in different ways. What am I doing wrong? (as you can see it is for a course and it is important to me to get it right not just good enough). Here's the address. The CSS coding is on the actual page for easy viewing. link I have a gradient background image that goes from dark to light. At the bottom of the table if the body of text grows too large the table will stretch past the length of the background gradient image exposing the bgcolor for the page (not acceptable). If I change the bgcolor of the table the color is applied over the background image. Isn't there a way to fix this with CSS? Thanks for any help!!! Hi, I have a two column CSS layout - the stylesheet and web page that uses it are attached. I tried to put a menu in the left column (technically div) - of this web page. This is a menu that uses JS mouseover and mouseout to set the style of the children menus to block or none - to show or hide the children or submenu items. onmouseover="document.all.child1.style.display='block' onmouseout="document.all.child1.style.display='none' When you mouseover the menu item, children menu items underneath it are supposed to be displayed, but they're not. Please look at the style sheet - and web page. Any idea why this menu works outside of the CSS two column layout, but not when I place the code inside this layout?????? Thanks Vmusic Hi! What do you think of this Javascript "make IE 6 work exactly like IE7"? http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/ Thank you Hey guys! Usually if you make a table and then make another table, the other table will be located below the table before. I want them to be side by side. So I tried this CSS value : table { display : inline; } then it worked, but the problem is, that if the tables have different sizes, the smaller one is not aligned to the top and looks smaller than the table before it. I want them all to be aligned to the top. I tried vertical-align:top and valign="top", but they still don't work... Is there any other way to make tables have no line breaks before and after the table? Is there any other property that controls the line breaks of the table? I tried display:table-cell , but the problem is still the same. thanks I'm going mad with this, I tested the CSS a:hover function over FF 1.0.7 and IE6, and the style file is simple: PHP Code: h3 { margin:10px; color:#636500; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; } p { margin:10px; color:#636500; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; } a { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { color:#636500; } a:visited { color:#cecf9c; } a:link { color:#cecf9c; } searched through the forum but seems nobody has got this problem... I just want the link to change color, I imported the css file to my html and it worked for the first time. I clicked on the link and then use brower's "Back" button to test it again, but the hover feature is not working anymore. I think it may be affected by the a:visited style, but how do I make a:hover work all the time? Thanks for helping. I've been seeing people using ul and li tags to make their menus in css. So I've started trying to do the same, here is an example. But obviously here, the buttons are not displaying inline. All of the styles are within the page code itself. I've got a display: inline style on the li tag, but it's still not working? How can I get this to work or is there any other way to get a ul li menu to display this way? Could someone enlighten me why the page in the following URL functions perfectly in both IE6 and FF and yet, I seem to be totally unable to get the darn thing working locally? I am trying to avoid JavaScript and this looked like a very clean way of hiding and revealing menu items. I don't speak Japanese so I don't understand the text on the page either. http://www.amy.hi-ho.ne.jp/staka/hp/dhtm/s_disp.htm Hi! Is is vicious to display a table as "display: block" to force margin-collapsing? Otherwise there's no margin collapsing with other elements. Thanks I promise once I become more versed in the mechanical rather than graphical side of web design, I'll start giving back more. But untill then... I have several div's, all absolutly positioned, but I need this one, (see attached picture) it is the bottem right div, that will have several above and several div's above it. I need to know how to do this without absolute positioning. Because with absolute positioning, I would have to manually resize each time I do an update. Thanks, -Sam Does anyone no some really good resources of info for adding css to xml. hi I have a long list of images positioned absolutely, and vertically down the page. However, if I wanted to add a new image to the top of the list... how can I do this without having to change all the positioning values of the other images? cheers nathan I am wondering if it is possible to include a line break within the content area of the :after pseudo element. I would like to create a class that adds text following an image, i.e. .click_for_larger:after { font-size: 0.8em; content:"<br />- Click for larger version -"; } Of course, in this example the "<br />" would be printed. Is there any way to indicate that there should be a line break before the text is displayed? Cheers - george |
