CSS - Firefox + Col + Class
hi everybody, i have the following problem
my code Code: ..... <table> <colgroup> <col class="makemebig" /> <col class="text" /> </colgroup> <tr> <td>Date:</td> <td>12.2.12</td> </tr> </table> ... in ie the cols have the right format, but in firefox they have the standard format. what's wrong? i googled but found nothing senseful. can anybody help me? Similar Tutorialshi, i am using a navigation bar at the top of my pages (http://sa-ewb.org.uk ) that has been designed with CSS and java (thanks to http://www.gazingus.org ). I have set it up so that visited links have no decoration and do not change colour in the navigation, as opposed to the main body of text where they do behave as normal links. i.e. a:visited {.......normal behaviour and a.actuator:visited {.......no changes to appearance this works fine in firefox (gotta love it!) but in internet explorer, for some reason, it ignores the 'a class="actuator"' and uses my normal link rules. (gotta... errr... not love it!) any ideas? many thanks, jim. Hey CSS experts, I have a weird problem with CSS in Firefox and Netscape. I am using CSS to manage my fonts using the the div class and span class strings. However, I've noticed that Firefox and Netscape insert additional spaces between some text areas. This happens when I define things both as a div class and as a span class. What makes this increasingly weird is that I can have two nearly identical lines of code and one will display extra spaces and one will not. Case in point: These are two exaple lines of code: <tr> <td><div class="navtext">130 South Main Street</div></td> </tr> and <tr> <td><div class="navtext">Saturday - 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.</div></td> </tr> The first line doesn't end up with spaces between it, but the second line doesn't. I chose these example because only a couple lines of code seperate them. I am an extreme CSS newbie and would greatly appreciate any help with this problem. Thank you in advance! Jordan Coffey P.S. Here is a link to the site so that you can see it for yourself: www.countrysidetrvl.com hey, I got a table, every <td> in the table got the css class .regular. (<td class='regular'>). When the user moves their mouse over a row, that row should change color. This works with the following code: <tr onmouseover='this.className=\"hoverRow\"'> However, this only works if the td's in that row have no class set yet. And since all td's in my table have a class set allready, i cant use this. How can i overwrite the class of the td's by the class for the whole row? thanks in advance Using the following example: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> a { display: block; } a.one.on, a:hover.one, a:hover.one.on { color: red; } a.two.on, a:hover.two, a:hover.two.on { color: orange; } a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on { color: green; } </style> </head> <body> <a href="#" class="one">one</a> <a href="#" class="two">two</a> <a href="#" class="three">three</a> <p> </p> <a href="#" class="one on">one</a> <a href="#" class="two on">two</a> <a href="#" class="three on">three</a> </body> </html> Notice how, in IE6 (works fine in FF), when the secondary style named 'on' is added, all 3 links in the 2nd set display the properties of the style: Code: a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on { color: green; } (since it is last in the list) rather than the style specified by their respective numbers (i.e. 'one', 'two' or 'three'). Is there a way to overcome this in IE. 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 I've read several forums and know that the technique I'm trying to achieve is possible, however I can't seem to get it to work. Basically I'm trying to shift the background positions of both the list item I'm hovering over and the next list item. I'm sure its just a syntax error and not a logic error, anyways the code is below - any help would be greatly appreciated! Code: HTML Code <div class="menu"> <ul> <li><a href="#" class="search"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="battery"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="cart"></a></li> <li><a href="#" class="contact"></a></li> </ul> </div> CSS .search, .contact, .cart, .battery { width:100px; height:30px; margin-left:-1px; display:block; } .search { background-image:url(Images/search.png); } .contact { background-image:url(Images/contact.png); } .cart { background-image:url(Images/cart.png); } .battery { background-image:url(Images/battery.png); } ul li a.search:hover { background-position:0px 60px; } ul li a.search:hover ul li a[class=battery] { background-position:0px 60px; } Sorry for the lousy title, can't come up with better wording.... What I'm trying to say is can someone give me an example code of a css syntax that accept one css classname and add a few more properties to it under a different class name. Sort of like merging two classname into one. Thanks... I am desperate. I think I found a bug in Firefox, and I'm not sure how to work around it. The following code works in everything (IE 8, Chrome, Safari, Opera) except Firefox (version 3.6.3). Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug in Firefox? You can look what happens to the drop-down menu's on Menu 2 and 3 live by going to my site (deenfoxx dot com slash firefox-bug dot html). css Code: Original - css Code #main-nav { background-color: black; height: 40px; } #nav { position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { position: relative; float: left; display: table; width: 99px; height: 40px; border-right: 1px solid white; text-align: center; font-size: 10px; } #nav li:hover { background-color: darkred; } #nav a { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; line-height: 11px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #fff; } #nav li ul { position: absolute; padding: 0; background-color: gray; top: 40px; left: 0px; } #nav li ul li { width: 98px; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid white; } #main-nav html4strict Code: Original - html4strict Code <div id="main-nav"> <ul id="nav"> <li id="m1"><a href="#1">Main Menu 1</a></li> <li> <a href="#2">Main Menu 2</a> <ul> <li><a href="#2a">Sub-Category 1</a></li> <li><a href="#2b">Sub-Category<br/>with multiple lines</a></li> </ul> </li> <li> <a href="#3">Main Menu 3 with multiple lines</a> <ul> <li><a href="#3a">Sub-Category 2</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="#4">Main Menu item which has a really long name on it</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="main-nav"> The problem appears to be that "#nav li" happens to have position:relative; and a display:table; and "#nav li ul" is position:absolute;. Normally, absolute positioning requires its parent or ancestor position to be set, but when used with the table display, it doesn't work normally on Firefox--but it does on other browsers. Can someone help me with a workaround that does not involve altering the HTML? If I must, I will accept a workaround that requires changing the HTML, but I'll have to do some heavy duty recoding of Magento's core menu generation. Anyone that knows Magento knows I want to avoid that like the plague--my example is a very simplified version of the problem. I'm having an issue where a website is showing up a few pixels off in Mac Firefox than it is in PC firefox. Anyone have a quick fix for this? Mac Screenshots: http://graffetto.com/chops/clairus_screens.pdf PC Firefox Screenshot: Firefox, IE, and Netscape all look identical on PC, while firefox, IE and safari look identical on Mac, but different from PC (except safari - messed up text) Any help is greatly appreciated Edit: after reviewing my post I realized I was quite vague. What I'm looking for is a way to filter CSS so that only Mac Firefox users will receive one CSS file, and PC users will receive another. I'm using ASP.NET 2.0 for my site. I already have a CSS that is working for the site; however, because an ASP.NET lable requires CSS Class, how do I convert my current CSS to a CSS Class? I know that a CSS class start with a period then a unique name. The problem is how do I implement the li, ul, a, and so on. Here is what I have that I want to convert to a CSS Class. #nav { padding: 0; clear: both; } body.main #nav, body.blogger #nav { float:right; width: 220px; \width: 250px; w\idth: 220px; margin: 10px 10px 0 0; padding: 0; } body.second #nav { float:left; width: 200px; \width: 210px; w\idth: 200px; padding:0 0 20px; margin: 0; } body.second #nav img { padding-bottom: 10px; } #nav a { color: #006; } body.second #nav ul { list-style: none; padding: 0 0 0 5px; margin: 0; } body.second #nav ul li { margin: 0 0 7px 0; font-size: 11px; } body.second #nav ul li ul li { margin: 0 0 5px 15px; } .skip { display:none; } /* end #nav */ #content p, #nav p { padding: 0; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 140%; } #content li, #content ol { margin-top: 0; line-height: 140%; } code, pre { font-family:"Courier New", Courier, mono, monospace; } /* definition lists, all that and a bag of chips! */ #content dl { margin:0px; padding:0; } #content dt { font-weight: bold; } #content dd { margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0; padding: 0 5px 0 0; } /* end definition list*/ Any help is appreciated. So I want to create a really simple css file that uses a lot of the same styles. For example I may create a box that takes up two fifths of the page, and is floated left or right, similarly I may have a box that takes up three fifths, or four fifths etc. The main thing here is that I'm thinking the specifics will be placed inside an ID like so: Code: #twoFifths {width:275px; padding: 0px 12px 0px 50px;} #threeFifths {width:375px; padding: 0px 50px 0px 12px;} And then to handle the float I'd use a class like so: Code: .floatRight{float:right;} .floatLeft{float:left;} Is this considered good practice? Obviously as I generate layouts I may want to float either right or left so having an ID for every single thing I may want to use would be a little overwhelming. The problem with this of course is that I can't call an ID twice in a page, and I can't have more than one class... so for example: Code: <div id="templateBlueBox" class="floatRight"> <h2>Six free lessons</h2> <p>These free Lessons are great to read online or print out and carry with you.</p> </div> <div id="templateGreenBox" class="floatRight"> <h2>New Features</h2> <p>Some fun, helpful study tools to help you get more out of every Lesson. Check them out!</p> </div> <div id="templateOrangeBox" class="floatRight"> <h2>Sign up for email updates</h2> <p>So we can let you know when you can subscribe to get it every week.</p> </div> <div id="templatePinkBox" class="floatleft"> <h2>Send us feedback</h2> <p>Is it the coolest thing ever (or is it just okay)? Tell us what you think!</p> </div> <div id="templateBlueBox" class="floatLeft"> <h2>Submit photos</h2> <p> You can be part it..</p> </div> So as you can see I'm having to repeat the id templateBlueBox. Is there a better approach for accomplishing this? Problem solved. When defining css in a webpage, it can be done using either a class or id. My understanding is that css uses . notation with classes and # notation with id's, regardless of whether the actual css is in the webpage itself of linked externally. Please correct me in error. My css uses classes and external . notation. When I use id's only and # notation exernally, I lose all my styling. Its only when I use the # notation internally that the styling works. In order to use external css I need to declare both a class and id and dot notation. Internally only an id. Is this correct behaviour? In CSS, which would be more appropriate (or I suppose semantically correct) to use, p.text or .text p ? P representing the <p> tag, and "text" representing the class "text". Any info or links to pages with info on this matter would be greatly appreciated! I am new to CSS and confused about when to use id # and when to use class . Some enlightenment on the benefits/purpose of each would be helpful. I have read several tutorials - but the same pretty much the same to me so I must be missing something Thanks! The book i am reading does not clear this up. When would you use class vs id to put elements in different catagories? why not use all id? It seems to make more sense.. ie. make all headers id="header" and divs also class. thank you in advance Which is better to use id (#) in CSS or to use class (.) ?? does it affect website rank? Thanks for taking the time to read my question. I can never seem to get this right.... I have this line that I want to affect: Code: <li><div class="VACont"><a href="">Edit User</a></div></li> and I want to be able to edit it with a:link {} a:visited {} a:hover {} a:active {} How do I refer to the link with out having to add a class to the <a> tag? I've tried: Code: VACont.a:link {text-decoration: none;} li.VACont a:link {text-decoration: none;} a:link li.VACont {text-decoration: none;} So far no luck. Thanks, Brad Hi all, new css user here and have a slight problem. I am trying to change the color of the 'post date' on my forum that i am creating. In the source code for this area, there is no div id, but just three classes namely, "top-post forum-post clear-block", "post-info clear-block", and "posted-on", with the first being the most outer class. In my css sheets there are references to the latter two classes, but adding 'color:#fffff', does not change the text color. I have tried listing them all from outer to inner and then declaring the color but also this did not work. I am using drupal and the advanced forum module, and saw using inspect element that another site just had the color specified under 'posted-on', and it was working, but not for me. Even with an !important tag, it just comes up with an exclamation mark on the 'inspect element. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to how to change this? Any help massively appreciated! I am trying to add sub navigation to my footer area. I tried codes below but didnt work. http://www.pearl.ru/isdunyasi/ #footer { width:800px; font-size:10px; color:#aaaaaa; } #footer .navigation{ width:800px; background:#aaaaaa; } #footer .navigation li{ float:left; list-style-type:none; border-right:1px solid #ffffff; white-space:nowrap; } #footer .navigation li a{ display:block; padding:0 5px; font-size:12px; text-transform:uppercase; color: #FFFFFF; } #footer p { padding:0; margin:0; text-align:center; } |
