CSS - Creating Browser Specfic Style Sheets
One of the most common problems i am sure most of us are having it different browsers rendering css in different. What is the best or good way to detect what browser the visitor is using and then give them the right style sheet for their browser?
I am unable to use any real server side script like php or .asp Thanks! Similar TutorialsThe application I'm writing currently uses a Custom tag to generate a table of images and input images to represent tabs. It is working just fine. After implementing a liquid layout on the application the tabs still work, but do not grow larger based on the size of the screen. Also there are always only 7 tabs max per row. I'm looking to try to change this so that the tabs will fit to the space provided. I'm hoping to come up with a style sheet solution that can be applied to code that my custom tag would generate. Here is an example of what my custom tag would generate currently. It is all tables, but could easily be modified to divs or such. I realize this is going to take a bit of work, so I'm just hoping someone may have a suggestion on the direction I could take this. Something that might change the number of tabs on a row as the browser is expanded or contracted.... Code: <div id="content" class="ParentDivBrowse"> <div id="subContent" class="ChildDiv"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/leftExtreme_off.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/Properties_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" Properties" name="Properties" value="15" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap' colspan="6"> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/Fields_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" Fields" name="Fields" value="14" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> <img src="/AppName/images/rightExtreme_off.gif" /> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/leftExtreme_off.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_FEOV_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_FEOV" name="DLG_FEOV" value="7" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_FLST_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_FLST" name="DLG_FLST" value="10" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_SHOV_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_SHOV" name="DLG_SHOV" value="8" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_TLOV_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_TLOV" name="DLG_TLOV" value="9" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_OCUR_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_OCUR" name="DLG_OCUR" value="11" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_NOTE_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_NOTE" name="DLG_NOTE" value="12" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap' colspan="1"> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_FILT_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_FILT" name="DLG_FILT" value="13" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> <img src="/AppName/images/rightExtreme_off.gif" /> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <table border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'> <tr> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/leftExtreme_on.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG1_T381_FUND1_0_en_US_on.jpg" alt=" DLG1_T381_FUND1" name="DLG1_T381_FUND1" value="0" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/onOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG3_T381_FUND2_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG3_T381_FUND2" name="DLG3_T381_FUND2" value="1" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG6_T381_TO_FROM_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG6_T381_TO_FROM" name="DLG6_T381_TO_FROM" value="2" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG7_T381_MISC_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG7_T381_MISC" name="DLG7_T381_MISC" value="3" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_ADER_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_ADER" name="DLG_ADER" value="4" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap'> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_PTDE_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_PTDE" name="DLG_PTDE" value="5" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> </td> <td nowrap='nowrap' colspan="1"> <img src="/AppName/images/offOff.gif" /> <input type="image" src="/AppName/images/DLG_COOV_0_en_US_off.jpg" alt=" DLG_COOV" name="DLG_COOV" value="6" onClick="buttonClick(this)"> <img src="/AppName/images/rightExtreme_off.gif" /> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td nowrap='nowrap' colspan='2'> <img width='100%' style='min-width:837px;' src='/AppName/images/strip_on.gif'> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table></div></div> I have a question. I am redesigning our website using css and xhtml. I have template for the site and a primary css. On the home page, for example, I also created a home.css. On some of the pages with less additonal css, I have kept it all in the primary css. So is it good to just have one css, or break up some pages that have more css unique to just that page into a different css? My primary css is getting so long - I wonder if it could get confusing since there is a lot in it. Thanks! Am tryin to use multiple external style sheets in the same html..is it possible??..if it is..how do i use it? When i specify any background images i never use "" around the location. The reason being is that ive heard this can cause problems in earlier browsers. Can someone confirm what ive heard about this or let me know if there is actually any effect of using ". Cheers Hi.. I wanna display different style sheets based on the user's choise. The usage is like this. We have a recruitment site and in that we want to allow ths users to chose the style they want based on a radio button. As soon as they make a choice tthe style sheet should be loaded and it should be saved into the database. Later it can be retrieved from the database and show the client in the respective style they have chosen. Regards Nick Hey guys, how do i put the bold command into a css sheet? I want to have bold consistantly throughout a page. ------- body { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5px; } td { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5px; } th { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5px; } .bodystyle { font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.5px; } .small { font-family: Arial; font-size: 9px; } .medium { font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; } .big { font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; } .xbig { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 24px; } .expanded { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; letter-spacing: 2px; } .justified { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify; } .footer { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 9px; color: #999999; } .box1 { padding: 3px; border-width: medium; border-style: solid; border-color: #CCCCCC #666666 #666666 #CCCCCC; } .box2 { font-style: italic; word-spacing: 2pt; padding: 3px; border: 1px solid; } Hey all, i have about three different style sheets for the same website, all making the website look differently colour & gradient wise depending on which style sheet i use.. My question is how do i make it so that people can select which style they want to view the website in? like on forums when you get a drop down list of different skins and such... im just curious on how id go about making a drop down list of different styles and once a user selects one it will always be that one on their next visit.. Any help on this would be most appreciated. Would it be hard to do this? where should i begin? Note: Im extremely new to this CSS Style sheeting so be gentle lol. Is there anyway to make GoLive automatically apply styles to external style sheets rather than internal? i have a main page with an iframe.. my iframe contain most of my data.. there are 4 types of css for the user to choose.. i have create 4 css.. 1.css, 2.css, 3.css and 4.css... when they user clicks on the first link, the iframe will load 1.css.. if the user clicks on the 2nd link, the iframe will load 2.css.. what shld i do to attain that? This is half a PHP problem, but it seems to be more CSS than php, so I'll post it here With web pages on our (And our clients) site, we are experiencing problems with PHP occasionally dropping the style sheet, resulting in no formatting. The CSS file itself does nothing fancy, it simply sets heading and general fonts, colours and sizes for TD's , links, DIVs etc. There appear to be no javascript or other errors when the stylesheet is dropped. It does not happen every time, but is frequent enough to be annoying (Say 1 out of every 10-15 page loads ) The css file is inlcluded in the following manner within the header: Code: <LINK REL="stylesheet" HREF="<?=$base_url?>/main.css" type="text/css"> The Apache server is 1.3.29 PHP: 4.3.5 Server: Free BSD 4.7 Any ideas? Hi, I have a style shete which contains multiple styles for differnet devices - however i am habing problems with the "handheld" media type - it wil lonly display the 1st style of the sheet (if you know what i mean). I have enclosed my code Code:
@media handheld
{
.frmInput
{
width: 1em;
height: 1.3em;
border: 0.1em solid #00004F;
background-color: #F2F2FF;
color:#000000;
}
body
{
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.2em;
font-weight:bold;
background-color: #000033;
color:#000000;
}
}
If testing it using visual studio.net 2005's pocket pc 2003 emulator. Can anybody help ?? thanks in advance Andy I swear I've done some searching on this but I haven't been able to find a satisfactory answer. I have a style sheet in the root of my site with this declairation in it: Code:
#nav
{
float: left;
width: 190px;
height: 600px;
min-height: 600px;
margin-right: 10px;
background-image: url(images/gradientBg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
The file the id="nav" is in is being included in the index.php page that's being called from the root also. So we have a structure that looks like this: Code: /root styles.css index.php /includes nav.php /images gradientBg.jpg The stylesheet is being included like this Code: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles.css" /> Now for my problem... The styles and backgrounds all show as expected in Firefox. However, in IE any of the styles that apply to files from the /include directory like nav.php are not followed at all. I find it hard to believe that my only option is to make the styles inline but I'm not sure what else to do at this point. Thanks for staying with me this far and for any advice. is it possible to create this in css ? if so, does anyone have a tutorial on how to ? or what its called so i may research it more (content box? container box?) ty btw, just the style not the stuff inside them lol I have a menu where the submenu li's have a blue/darker blue background color and hover color. I have one set of submenu items where I would like to change the background and hover colors for that set only, but haven't been successful in writing the second set of code, the original colors still show up Here's the part of my styles for the list that I'm trying to change.. Code:
/* original backgrounds for the menu */
ul.menu li ul li a {
background: #ccc;
color: #000;
padding-left: 20px;
}
ul.menu li ul li a:hover {
background: #aaa;
border-left: 5px #000 solid;
padding-left: 15px;
}
Is it the way I tried to rename the style? Code:
/* change backgrounds to shades of green for one sub menu */
.green ul.menu li ul li a {
background: #afe4bf;
color: #000;
padding-left: 20px;
}
.green ul.menu li ul li a:hover {
background: #88b796;
border-left: 5px #000 solid;
padding-left: 15px;
}
thanks in advance for any help, Kathy Hi I have created a site which looks good in internet explorer. But being a bit of a newb i never thot to check it in other browsers till now, and it just doesn't take my layout at all in opera or firefox is there anything i can do to get around this? cheers boyindie I am working on a header for a site and am having trouble with cross-browser support for one element. I have kept all of the CSS in the html page for testing purposes. The problem I'm having is that in FF and IE6, I am having difficulty getting the #menuBar, .filmstripTop, #menuChoices, and .filmstripBottom elements to align on top of each other, despite margins, padding, etc. set to 0. (I have set the background of #menuBar to yellow so you can see what I think is the offending element.) In FF and IE6, I see the yellow running across the screen but in different places. In IE running under Windows Vista, everything appears aligned as intended. (The menu text is just a placeholder for the navbar I will do once the other formatting is fixed.) I'm sure this must be an easy fix and something I've overlooked, but I have been at this for hours and can't seem to figure out how to make this work. Suggestions?

Hi guys and gals. Right does any one know any CSS specfic Internet Explorer 8 rules that I can run in the CSS sheet. Something like -ie- -msie- would be nice. Also for those of you who have not tried IE8 beta download it , it's really good, ok still bugs to work out fair enough but what I'm really fond of is the built in dev bar that comes as standard, if there is an add-on like Yslow I think I'm going to convert. Help please I'm getting knowhere fast, I am trying to load stylesheets dependant upon the browser in use. I have read lots on this on the net and in fact most of this code has been borrowed from better people that I. If I use the stylesheets in a normal hardcoded <LINK...> they work fine. If I put an alert("You are here") in each of the if() statements it runs the code and the correct if() is run for each browser under test. But, there is always a but, the styles are not applied to the document for any browser. In fact the page displays without any styling at all in all of them. I have tried debugging with Mozilla's JavaScript Debugger and on examination the styles are being loaded into the DOM but not applied to the document. It is as if they are being applied to late to take effect. This is the code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <script language="javascript" src="file:///D:\TestSite\JavaSrc\sniffer2.js"></script> <script language="javascript"> <!-- if(is_nav) { document.write('<LINK href="CSS\nav\BasicSite.css" type="text/css"rel="stylesheet">\n'); document.write('<LINK href="CSS\nav\MenuLayout.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">\n'); document.write('<link href="CSS\nav\IndexExtra.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">\n'); } else if(is_ie) { alert( "IS IE" ) document.write('<LINK href="CSS\ie\BasicSite.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">\n'); document.write('<LINK href="CSS\ie\MenuLayout.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">\n'); document.write('<link href="CSS\ie\IndexExtra.css" type="text/css rel="stylesheet"">\n'); } else if(is_moz) { document.write('<LINK href="CSS\moz\BasicSite.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">\n'); document.write('<LINK href="CSS\moz\MenuLayout.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">\n'); document.write('<link href="CSS\moz\IndexExtra.css" type="text/css rel="stylesheet"">\n'); } else if(is_opera) { document.write('<LINK href="CSS\opera\BasicSite.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">\n'); document.write('<LINK href="CSS\opera\MenuLayout.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">\n'); document.write('<link href="CSS\opera\IndexExtra.css" type="text/css rel="stylesheet"">\n'); } // --> </script> </head> <body> I hope this is dead obvious to one of you experts. Thanks in advance When viewing my website, the font is too small in IE/Opera/Crazy Browser. I am a Firefox user and the site looks the way I want when viewed in Navigator & Firefox. I don't want to change that. I'm thinking that I can use java script to make a page link to a specific style sheet, based on the user's browser. Unfortunately, I'm not a scripter and I haven't managed to find one that suits my purpose. Is there a simpler way to accomplish this? Thanks Is there a way I can have a div on my page that does not expand the window area (creating scrollbars) when the browser window is too small? I ask because I have a three-column layout, but the left and right columns are merely aesthetic-- they hold no content. The center column is 1000px, which is my limit. So if a user has a screen resolution of 1024 pixels wide, I don't want the left and right columns to cause there to be scrollbars. If my far-left and far-right column divs weren't a set width, that would solve my problem-- but then I need multiple background-images, which is only compatible with Safari. I could also make the <body> have "overflow:hidden", getting rid of scrollbars altogether... but then the valuable content on the middle column would be hidden if the browser window is too small-- plus you wouldn't be able to scroll down! Any ideas? |
