CSS - Quick Question: "all Elements" Selector
Tip of the tongue syndrome:
What is the CSS selector that affects all elements, again? I remember it being "*" or something I want to apply a thin border to everything on my layout so I can see where the positionings have gone. Similar TutorialsI'm taking over a departmental web page that has a whole bunch of Code: <body topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0"> in the web pages. Does anyone know how to put this in a stylesheet so that I don't have to put this code in every <body> tag when I create a new page? I've searched all over and can't find a reasonable resolution. Thanks Hi guys, For a pure CSS site, is it depreciated to have a border="0" tag in <img elements? (My reasoning is that if one browser doesn't support CSS, it will show the user images with ugly borders... that's anyway the default behavior in IE and FF). Thank you what is the equivilant to <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> in css? i've tried PHP Code: table { border-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; border-colapse: colapse; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; } td { border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; padding: 2px; } That makes the width 2px wide though. I want it to only be one. And the padding seems to be messed up as well. How can I apply the CSS "hover" element only to certain tags by using the "style" attribute? I was wondering what is the best practice for aligning elements on same "line"? for example, say I have a header of the site with logo on left most side and on the right side I want to have right-aligned text with a link of a variable width, how would I achieve this? Do I need 2 separate divs that float left and have set width? Example: Alrite, I am trying to use a CSS to change the hover, visited, active, elements on a link. This works, however it does not seem to work when I use "#" links. I am tryin to use a dud link so that JavaScript can open another window. Any ideas??? Thanks I was given the following code and I am stumped on what it means and how the "*" selector works in css. Also, and although I could not find any reference to this on w3schools, I would appreciate a link (preferably w3schools) that further defines it's meaning (but any help is fine). Thanks, sincerely. body { background-color:#CECF8B; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000; text-align: center; } * { margin: 0px; padding: 0px; } I'm using the CakePHP framework to build my site.

Hope someone can help me with my question. http://stuweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~as234/full/full.htm some problems: in IE the menu at the top is "block" level but i want it to be in a line? whereas in ff its ok! in ff, one of the menu image (called "main" on the left of review) doesnt appear but if u hover over it, u will see the rollover image! the background colour should be grayish however that DOESNT happen! (I originally posted this at the end of another of my topics but I don't think it was seen). I have just noticed this problem in firefox (may happen in other browsers) but I couldnt make it happen in IE6. After the first load of the page or after a "hard refresh" (ctrl + F5) the middle and right column do not "shift up" and leave a gap. (see attached picture). But if I refresh (just F5) firefox shifts them up to display the page as it should be seen. Example Picture The site itself. Any ideas? Hello, I am currently making a site, and this is my first experience using css, and so far I love it. Now I have a page with multiple links on it, and this page has its css info stored in a seperate css file. Now I want some of the links to show up in all satus's (hover, visited ect)with one color, size ect, and some links to show up with a different color. I know i can modify all the links on the page color by adding this to the css page... ------------------------ A:LINK {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#000000; text-decoration:none; font-size:12pt; font-weight:bold;} ----------------------- but how can i make it so each class has a differnt a:link, a:visited, ect. Thanks! Hi guys, For a pure CSS site, is it still necessary to have height="82" and width="82" in <img ... /> ? Moreover, is it depreciated to have a size="25" tag in <input elements? (I know it could ba handled in CSS but nice to have directly in the html). Thank you Hi, I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser. Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important. I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML Here is my Html PHP Code: <DIV id="nav"> <ul> <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li> <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li> <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li> <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li> <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li> </ul> </div> Pretty straight forward, now my css PHP Code: #nav { width:1005px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; } #nav ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #nav li { float: left; text-align: left; } #1 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #1 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #5 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; } #5 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; } Here is an exmple link http://dev.121design.co.uk/flextrade2/ Works fine in IE but not in Firefox, heres hopling someone can help. Thanks in Advance, tried so many different methods and none seem to work. Cheers, Stuart that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently. However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image. If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall. (URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work? I have a very simple question: I have this html code: Code: <div id="text"> <p><a>text</a></p> <p><a class="red">text</a></p> <p><a>text</a></p> </div> And this CSS style: Code: .red { color: red; } #text a{ color: blue; } I would like to apply the .red class, but it does not work, because the #text a overrides it. How can I solve that? It is just an example because it is a cause of a problem generated by a CMS, and I can only play with the CSS, not with the HTML side. Is there by chance a feature of MS Front Page that helps us out by changing height and width attributes to upper case, which CSS does not recognize? If so, is there a way to disable this feature? What is the popular alternative (among those in the know) to MS FP? The "normal-html-preview" screen format in FP is great. Or, can we simply get rid of the height and width calls in "img src=" links? Thank you for any attention to this. Ed Hi guys! Let's say I have this IN BODY directly: Code: <div id="top_section"> ... </div> <ul id="menu"> ... </ul> Or should I do it like this: Code: <div id="top_section"> ... </div> <div id="menu"> <ul> ... </ul> </div> UL and DIV are both block elements so I think the first is acceptable (combining block elements whatever their sort is logical or am I completely wrong here??) Thank you Please help me with a couple of questions about following style sheet element. The url('blue_field.jpg') form is strange to me. Can this be rewritten in <img src=""> form? Any reason why not? Could I write background: <img src="/pic/blue_field.jpg">; Also, what is (repeat-y top left) ?? I have never seen this either. Thank you.
