CSS - Looking For Element Style Guide
Hopefully that is a descriptive enough title. Basically what I'm looking for is a straight-forward guide to which styles will apply to an element type - by html element. For example, suppose I have this brain-dead simple table:
<table id="first-table" class="page-table"> ... </table> Is there a simple guide that shows which style elements apply to that table? Something along the lines of the Bare Bones Guide to HTML . The problem I have is that everything I can find is backwards to my needs. They typically list a style element, and then list the html elements which the style will apply to. So for my dumb example above, I'd have to wade through a bunch of interesting looking style elements trying to see whether I can use it to affect that table. TIA Similar TutorialsHi all! Hope you are well! Anyway, I have the following in my style sheet.... should this work? PHP Code: td { text-align: centre; } or not? can I apply more than one style to an element? Or do they overwrite each other? thanks Is there a way to style an element's parent with css? I know something like .div1 p { stuff here } takes care of p's that are inside div1 but is there a way to style say any div1 with a div2 inside? Or a ul with a ul inside? I have an unordered list that I'm making into a navigation menu. It's all working except for the first item in the list. I don't think I've missed anything but let me post the code and get a 2nd opinion. Thanks in advance for the help: Code:

You can check the site live here . Hi, My page has 3 elements: one at the top(header banner), one in the middle (a middle content area) and one at the bottom (footer banner). Now I want those positions to remain intact regardless of the number of lines output in the middle element. The content is going to be determined at runtime by a server-side routine so I don't want to use a fixed positioning for the footer banner. I want it to be displayed at the bottom - after the middle content is displayed. And I want the middle content to be visible in the page i.e. I don't want a scroll area within the page. I have tried various approaches and read up on positioning but so far have not been able to do it using css. Any help is much appreciated. Jim I have an navigation menu that I am building as an unordered list. What I have is an image rollover that appears at the bottom of the navigation menu when the cursor hovers over one of the first level links by using a span within the link that has its display set to none, and then set to absolute positioned directly below the navigation menu on a:hover. Here is an example: Code:
<ul>
<li>
<a href="link1.html" id="link1">Link<span></span></a>
</li>
</ul>
.link a { some link height }
.link a span { display: none; }
.link a:hover span {
position: abolute;
top: (some link height * the number of links);
background-image: (some image url)
width: (image width)
height: (image height)
}
Appearance: ------ Link1 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- ------- Rollover Image to appear here ------- The problem that I have is that since the rollover image is positioned absolutely, if the size of the list of links changes (IE with sub-links in the list) it slides under or over where I have the rollover image placed. IE ------ Link1 sublink1 sublink2 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- will break my scheme. Is there a way to get the span within the link to show up relative to the bottom of the <ul> element, or at the bottom of an element that contains the whole shebang? If I cant get this to work, I'm going to be forced to adopt the existing tables/javascript based template for our site, and I'd hate hate hate to do that. thanks. I am just wondering if there is a way to simply extend a style rule from one previously defined. For instance, if I have this rule: Code:
.textarea-box {
color: #990000;
background-color: #fff;
width: 375px;
height: 200px;
border: #000 solid 1px;
}
...if I want another text area rule to be the same except for one difference, the height should be 80px, do I have to write the rule out again with a new name, incorporating the new height, or is there some nifty way to just change the height in the new rule? Thanks for help with this. j9 I have a menu bar made up of <a href> elements that have a hover style of:
PHP Code: #mainMenu a:hover { color:#000000; background-color: #66c74c; padding: 1px 4px 1px 4px; margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px; } This will provide a green colored rollover visual as the user moves their mouse over the menu bar. I just added some JS today that will highlight the clicked (selected) menu so there is visual feedback of the section the user is in. For some reason, after setting the background color of the <a href> and color attributes, the HOVER: no longer functions. Here is the code to do the hilite where I pass the ID of the <a href> menu selection in the variable "menu": PHP Code: //--- Simplify setup by creating an array of the menus and hilight ID's --- var menus = ["menu1","menu2","menu3","menu4","menu5", "menu6","menu7","menu8","menu9","menu10"]; function J_hiliteMenu(menu) { //--- first make sure all the menu are hidden and unhilited --- for(i=0; i < menus.length; i++) { if (menus[i] == menu) theIndex = i; // Hold on to the chosen index position var obj = document.getElementById(menus[i]); if (obj == null) continue; // if menu is not available skip it obj.style.color = "#ffffff"; obj.style.backgroundColor = "#234fd7"; } //--- hilite the menu we're interested in --- var obj = document.getElementById(menu); obj.style.color = "#000000"; obj.style.backgroundColor = "#f8f400"; } Prior to hiliting the menu I un-hilite all the menus (since we may be switching from another). I think this is where the problem is. Maybe I need to redefine the rollover "hover" attribute for all elements during the un-hilite loop? Does anyone know how to set a HOVER: attribute using JavaScript? Thanks! Can anyone explain the difference between the two? For example, what is the difference between: this: element element {} div p { } and this: element > element { } div > p { } I don't understand it and have not found an explanation in tireless searching. Thx! I want to change this: LIST-STYLE-TYPE: square; I want to show a picture in the place of that square. Can this be possible? hey guys, I just have a short question about css: How to center an element? greetings and thx in advance PS: I tried to use auto but this does not function... Please look at this page - http://hometown.tmhdesign.com/ask.asp?faq=9 See how the <p> exceeds the containing box at the bottom? I put a border-bottom on the containing div to show you where the issue occurs. It does not happen in IE7 I just noticed it does it also on this page http://hometown.tmhdesign.com/staff.asp i have strange problem with IE 8 where an element is incorrectly placed when i open an Iframe, but if the iFrame is closed and reopened the element in question is correctly placed. I don' know if this is a code problem or if it's an IE 8 issue?? i see i cannot post a url. any help without seeing the problem? Here is the code snippet from the iframe: Code: <div style="margin: 0px;" id="votes"> <ul style="margin: 0px;" id="xvotes-0" class="star-rating-noh"> <li id="xvote-0" style="width: 81.25px;" class="current-rating"></> <span id="mnmc-0"> <li class="one-star-noh"></li> <li class="two-stars-noh"></li> <li class="three-stars-noh"></li> <li class="four-stars-noh"></li> <li class="five-stars-noh"></li> </li> </ul> </div> I've been adding local styles to try and zero any potential problems. i can post all css styles if noone has any ideas. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Hi; How i can display elements from left to right and the first element stat from the left of 20px, and the distance between each element is 20px.

If you visit my link: http://www.gabbr.com/js/viewer/cmedata/index1.html and hover over the years (top middles, 2008, 2009, 2010, etc) you will notice an orange bar extending from the top to the bottom of the page. I am trying to get the same effect on the left (month and day) but am unable to do so. The problem I am having is that I cannot get the orange hover bar to extend off the left of the screen for either #dayleft or for #monthleft. It extends all the way to the right margin of the screen but not the left. The problem is the margin-left: 15px; in #monthleft and margin-left: 80px; in #dayleft. But I cannot get rid of these since I require them for the letter spacing. Any advice? Hi, I've been designing a page that is basically made of a box that sits dead center on the page (horizontally and vertically centered). The only way I have come up with doing this is by using the following code: Code: <table width="100%" height="100%">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<div id="centeredDiv">
This text will sit right in the middle of the page
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
I was thinking that there must be a way of doing this with CSS (without using tables) to make it a bit more tidy and standards compliant as I am laying out everything within the centeredDiv with CSS positioning. Thanks in advance, Matthew Dingley Hi, I am trying to get image on the bottom right hand side of the page to align with the chart in the middle. I have it floated to the right, but I can't seem to make it move up vertically. Not sure how to do this, absolute positioning is not an option because it will be stuck there regardless of browser size. this is where the img is now, see how it is not lined up? URL this is where it is supposed to go. URL my code is this Code: <div style="float:right; vertical-align:baseline;"><img src="/free-gold-charts/gold.png" alt="Free Interactive Gold Charts" width="320" height="290" align="top"/></div> and I have it next to the code for the chart. Help! Hi guys! I am tempted to use the list element (<ul>) for almost anything... is this good practice or should I proceed differently? For example: 1/ Horizontal menu of images that should be spaced by 10 px. I could do that this way: Code: <div id="topmenu"> <a href="dsf.php"><img... <a href="sdfs.php"><img... <a href="sdf.php"><img... <a href="sdf.php"><img... </div> and in the CSS file: Code:
#topmenu
{
margin: 10px;
}
#topmenu a
{
margin-right: 10px;
}
OR I could do it this way with <ul>s: Code: <ul id="topmenu"> <li><a href="dsf.php"><img...</li> <li><a href="sdfs.php"><img...</li> <li><a href="sdf.php"><img...</li> <li><a href="sdf.php"><img...</li> </ul> and in the CSS file: Code:
#topmenu
{
margin: 10px;
list-style: none;
}
#topmenu li
{
margin-right: 10px;
display: inline;
}
MOREOVER, for example when aligning 4 input boxes on the same line and spaced (exactly the same problem but the images replaced by inputs), should I proceed with the first or second method? MOREOVER, for example when aligning 4 text URLS on the same line and spaced (exactly the same problem but the images replaced by text URLs), should I proceed with the first or second method? It would be so nice to ALWAYS use the <ul> element with CSS but is this poor practice? Thank you |
