CSS - Using Multiple Css Style Sheets

The 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">

Is there anyway to make GoLive automatically apply styles to external style sheets rather than internal?

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?

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.

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!

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

@media handheld
{

	.frmInput
	{
		width: 1em;
		height: 1.3em;
		border: 0.1em solid #00004F;	
		background-color: #F2F2FF;
		color:#000000;
	}

		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

I have a website/application that I want to give the users the option to select from multiple CSS's on their browser. How do I go about letting the user change the style sheet?

-Dynasty

I'm trying to use suckerfish style drop downs, based on CSS with javascript only for an Internet Explorer hack. It's working fine for a single horizontal row of menus, however I wanted to setup a few rows of other menus underneath the first row. The problem is that the dropdown goes underneath the menus under it and I can't figure out how to fix it.

This is an example of the problem.

Any suggestions?

Friends,

I've got two files I'm working with - index.php and main.css

Code:

<LINK href="styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Is printed to load my stylesheet (the directory is correct).
The following is in main.css

Code:

<STYLE type="text/css">
#dateTime {font-family: verdana; font-size: 10px; color: #FFFFFF;}
</STYLE>

and on index.php I have a td (the following):

Code:

<td ID="dateTime">Date: Sunday, Nov. 5th</td>

But, when I view index.php - my styles don't carry over and I can't see my CSS. Any help?

Regards,
Jonathan

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.

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!

Hello,

In the css below, why I can't set it on the same time?
Code:

    background: #FFF url(../images/main_bottom.gif) no-repeat  bottom ;
    background: #FFF url(../images/main_top.gif) no-repeat  top ;

on my site I have a list with the UL Class of threads.

I am not good with CSS at all I have this

Code:

#threads {
  padding:0;
  margin:0;
  } 
#threads li {
	list-style:none;
	border-bottom:1px dotted #ccc;
	display:block;
	padding:2px 0px 2px 13px;
	background:url(images/sub.png) no-repeat 0 0px;
	}

not doing what I want, my site is mypricesavings(dot)com you can see the list on the homepage under Recent Activity, I'd like to make it so that the avatars line up on top of each other and a line between each one like the featured section located on this site, however, without the scrolling.

I did a web page for a company and it looks fine in ie7 where I tested it.

The problem is when viewed in IE6 its like it ignores the sizes I put in.

The box appears too big in IE6 and is the propr size in IE7.
Is there any way to fix it so it would look the same in IE6 as IE7?
