CSS - Embedded Expressions

basically i want them to hover over the image and the tool tip pops up.. it works awesome in firefox(of course) but does nothing in IE.

also for testing i made a link tool tip and it works in IE but its cropped horribly.

you can check it out by looking he

heres the style classes:

Code:

a span 
{
   display: none;
}

a:hover span 
{
  position: absolute;
  display: block;
  background: grey;
  border: 1px solid black;
}

a:hover 
{
   color: 000000;
   background-color: grey;
   text-decoration: none;
   font-size:16;
}

heres the div placement:

Code:

<div class="aim">
<a>
<img border="0" class="" src="http://mattwild.com/media/graphic/aim.gif">
<span>allaimnamesRused</span></a>
</div>

by the way they are the two buttons "add my aim" and "add my msn" and the link underneath them

Hi can anyone tell me if I can override embedded CSS with a linked stylesheet?

Here is what I want to change:
Code:

<col width="40%" style="background-color:#EEEEEE;text-align:left;">

I want to change the background-color without changing anything in the above mentioned code, this means I want to change it with an extern stylesheet.

Hi everyone,

Basically I am working on a yahoo store design, and I have learned through working with Yahoo Store that it is very proprietary and limited in access. They allow me to access external style sheets and some of the layout of the site but I found for a specific tag id that if I alter it's margin value, something in the inaccessible backend creates an embedded style for that tag that overrrides the external style sheet. Yahoo help has been no help because they don't support custom code.

Anyway, I was wondering if there was a way to override or disable an embedded style in general or for a specific tag? I am pretty sure there isn't, but if there is, I would be forever grateful. I would especially appreciate any non-javascript solutions. I think javascript could do the trick but a non-javascript solution would be preferable and that is what I'm looking for.

Thank you anyone who can help out.

I've tried sending HTML mail with embedded CSS, that is, CSS that is defined between STYLE tags located in the HEAD of the HTML. However, some e-mail clients, esp. Outlook, don't recognize the CSS.

In order to force crappy Outlook to recognize CSS, I need to use inline CSS.

I really want to keep my CSS defined together by the embedded method since it is easier to modify CSS located in one central source to affect many HTML elements, not by the tedious inline method. Is there a way to force Outlook to recognize my CSS (other than using a link)?

If not, is there a PHP function which can accept a file defining embedded CSS styles and parse a HTML file such that a new file is spat out with the CSS inserted inline? I am thinking about writing a function, but jeez, what a pain when it comes to nested CSS definitions.

Thanks.

So I have an ad that is being served via an IFRAME. The src of the iframe has a few places where I can change colors as the css is dynamic based on the query string. There is one css element that is not supported with the user option to change the color and I want to try and override it.

Obviously inline styles override embedded styles, but the element I need to override is

span.price { color:#990000; }

and that is within the source of the iframe. Is there a way to override this?

Does anyone know how to place a video correctly in FF? I asked a similar question here, but apparently no one here knows how to place a video using CSS.

Ok, well I have a simple flash movie embedded into my html like this:

PHP Code:
 object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="160" height="199">
<param name="movie" value="images/welcome.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<embed src="images/welcome.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="160" height="199"></embed></object> 






And I wish to add this style to it but Im not sure how ?? :

PHP Code:
 img.right { border: 0.06em solid #FF66CC; 
            border-right: 0em solid #FF66CC; 
            border-bottom: 0em solid #FF66CC;
} 





Thanks for your time.

First off, I'll preface that I'm not a CSS expert by any means. I've done web development for many years, but have slowed down a great deal over the last few, so never got heavily into the aspects of CSS that completely replace HTML (tables, etc.).

At my current place of employment (where my primary duty is not that of a web developer, thank god), I'm being asked to develop a set of 'templates' using primarily CSS.

I've been using the CSS Sculpter plug in for Dreamweaver, and have had decent results from it, but my main issue at this point is this:

When I take the CSS code from the header of the page and put it into a separate stylesheet and then link to that stylesheet, it jacks up the content portion of the site. It seems to be completely disregarding the right margin of the content div and allowing text to simply run off. When the code (without changes) is pasted back into the header of the page rather than linked to it, the issue is resolved.

Here's the CSS:

Code:

<style type="text/css" media="all">
<!--
/* This rule resets a core set of elements so that they will appear consistent across browsers. Without this rule, content styled with an h1 tag, for example, would appear in different places in Firefox and Internet Explorer because each browser has a different top margin default value. By resetting these values to 0, the elements will initially be rendered in an identical fashion and their properties can be easily defined by the designer in any subsequent rule. */

Like I said, I'm completely out of my element here - learning bit by bit. CSS isn't difficult coming from a programming background, but my troubleshooting abilities are definitely not up to par.

Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Like it says, can you make an embedded video like a YouTube one fit to a certain shape you have on a site? Because I am wanting one shaped like a spider pic I have on a profile of mine on a site.

I'm building a cms system, and want to implement a template designer. I'm after a wysiwyg app that can be embedded into a php application that can present a colour chart to the user, and when they click on a colour it generates a hex code. If possible i'd like it to be able to be implemented into a form.
anyone ever heard of such a program? anyone even know what this type of program would be called?
Thanks!

Hello all,

I'm a relative newbie with css, so any help is greatly appreciated. I am trying to come up with some xhtml/css that can appropriately display several images and text inside of an unordered list. For example, say I have this:

Code:

<ul>
  <li>TEXT<img />TEXT<img /><a>LINK</a></li>
</ul>

I am trying to come up with a way that the text inside the <li> tag always is displayed at the same level as the top of the text, if that makes sense. Also, I'd like the list element to be of uniform height and width. Finally, I'd like the second image and link to be all the way to the right of the list element. Here's what I've got so far:

Code:

<ul style="vertical-align: top; list-style: none;">
  <li id="li_1" style="list-style:none;">
    <span style="width:150px; vertical-align:text-top;">1.) 
      <img src="/images/document.png" height="40px"/>TEXT
    </span><span style="float:right">
      <img src="/images/close.png" height="40px" />
      <a href="#" onclick="return false;">[Edit]</a>
    </span>
  </li>
</ul>

Simply put, this currently looks like crap. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Not sure if I'm posting in the right area, but here goes.

I'm trying to learn how to send HTML emails, and as I'm in the process of revamping our website using only CSS (no tables), I wanted to format the emails in the same way.

I've created 2 html pages in Dreamweaver - in one, I linked to my stylesheets, and in the other I copied and pasted the contents of the stylesheets and embedded them in my html page. The incorrect result described below is exactly the same for both.

In Outlook, following instructions I found on Macromedia's website, I created a New email, did Insert -> File, clicked the dropdown arrow beside the Insert button, and clicked Insert As Text.

It inserts the images fine, so obviously it's finding the path I've specified (I have alternated between using an absolute path and using a relative path and a base tag) but the layout is completely wrong, eg. the 'LeftPanel' which I've specified as :

#LeftPanel {
position:absolute;
top: 105px;
left: 5px;
width: 190px;
height: 400px;
border: 1px solid #000033
}

is taking up the full width of the email - basically everywhere I've set a specific width/height are not being displayed as specified at all. I've used a browser to view the work I've done on the revamp of the actual website and everything is exactly right, so the stylesheets are working correctly in that context.

Anyone any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks a lot,
J.

Hi,

I have been beating my head against the wall here. My video position in firefox shows up over top of my other nested divs/classes.

www.binaryshopper.com

The site renders perfect in IE. When you spend more time on CSS than programming, something is wrong!

I love CSS but it still doesn't do what it was intended to do. After years of CSS, you still have better control over layout using crappy tables!!

Can someone please help me here before I start shooting Firefox developers?

I'm making a page in which three elements are embedded:

The first is a weather.com "current weather" widget, which is as follows:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/USVA0023?template=TRVLV&par=3000000007&unit=0&key=twciweatherwidget"></script>

It always aligns left, despite the div it's in having text-align: right set. How can I get it to center?

The other two are iframes, like so:

Code:

<iframe src="http://www.g4ilo.com/wwv/webprop.php?format=small" width="180px" height="268px" frameborder="0"></iframe>

They work fine, but don't validate (using 4.01 Strict). What is a way to get the same content in a valid block that I can style and place as I wish?

EDIT: Now that I look at it, this probably would fit better in the HTML forums. My apologies.

Hi,

I just can't seem to get my head around this one. I have a website title which appears on every page. The whole title is a link to the index page of the website. I want the second part of the title to be a h1 header with smaller font in a different colour. I also want the whole title to be on one line.

I can only seem to get either all the words in the same font, or I can get the two parts to display their different fonts correctly, but they then appear on two lines, one under the other!



My page code:

<div id="garden-designer-title"><a href="(*website address*)" title="home">Joe Blogs</a><h1 style="display: inline'"><a href="(*website address*)" title="home">Garden Design</a></h1>
</div>



My stylesheet code:

#garden-designer-title {
position:relative;
left:0px;
top:0px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
width:526px;
height:51px;
z-index:7;
}

#garden-designer-title a {
position:relative;
font-size: 46px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #009999;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
}

#garden-designer-title h1 a {
display: inline;
font-size: 29px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #9482A4;
font-weight: normal;
text-decoration: none;
}

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?!

Many thanks!
