CSS - W3c Validator Warnings (color/bg Color...)
hello,
about the well-known color warnings (and in the best interest of good accessibility practices) is setting "background-color: inherit" a proper solution? it supresses the errors, but does it solve the problem of having good contrast between different elements/the use of custom stylesheets? i'm asking because i have a stylesheet with different classes for text which are used over different background-colors (from the parent elements). so unless i make a class for each possible application of these text styles, i don't see a way to specify a fixed background-color... i hope i explained my issue properly... thanks for any thoughts or suggestions on this Similar TutorialsQuestion One I just wanted to validate my css code and all is good except for some warnings. I am unclear as to what they mean or how to fix them. Does anyone know what these warnings are about? CSS Validator Warnings ------------------------------------------ Question Two When viewing my reviews page in IE there is little while lines dividing the table cells. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? Problem in is only in IE. Page showing the white lines Thanks in advance for feedback and help. Regards, CH... Here's the code:
Code: <html> <head> <title>Sample Font Shorthand</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> body { margin: 0; behavior: url("../htcmime.php?file=csshover2.htc") } div { } table { width: 100% } .sttable { background-color: #000080 } tr { } td { vertical-align: top } .sttd { font: bold 12px Arial #FFFFFF } </style> </head> <body> <table class="sttable"> <tr> <td class="sttd">Catalog > Categories</td> <td class="sttd">Cart Total: $ 0.00</td> <td class="sttd">Date</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Would someone please tell me why the color of the text isn't rendering white? I'm making a game that revolves around four teams. For developmental purposes, I made the team colors blue, red, green, and yellow. And now I'm at the stage where I'm designing a layout. The theme is set in the 1800's, and my first idea was to have a different color scheme for each team (in accordance with their team color,) but my layouts ended up having nothing to do with the 1800's -- just colors (I want to give a very real effect to this website.) So I tried making a universal layout with a sort of tea-stained, burnt edges, parchment look, with a black background, but I had trouble making it tile nicely (partly the burnt edges, partly the stains in the paper.) So this is where I am. I need help designing a layout! I can change the team colors to whatever, I have beginner/intermediate photoshop skills (though, I'm quite competent,) and all suggestions are warmly welcomed! Hi, Im trying to validate with CSS 3, but am getting one warning, which I really want to get rid of: Code: body { color: #000000; background-color: #ffffff; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 15px; } #header { clear: both;

I would like the top-border to be the same color as right and left. When viewed in Dreamweaver, the border appears orange but when viewed in browser, the border is black. How do I get the top border to be orange? Here is my CSS: Code: #right_body { width: 708px; float: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; display: inline; border-top: 3px; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: FF6A00; border-left: 2px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: #FF6A00; border-right: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FF6A00; } And my HTML: Code: <div id="left_side">left</div> <div id="right_body"> middle </div> <div id="right_side">right</div> Is something conformable to cellspacing-color? Or can I have change cellspace color? Having an issue with the background color in a div. The color shows up in I.E. but not in Firefox. I have a div with a width of 100%. Inside the div is an unordered list with two list items. Here is the css: div#nav { width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: #EAE9E4; } #nav ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; } #nav li { list-style: none; float: left; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 15%; font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px; white-space: nowrap; } Essentially this will be a navigation aid below the banner of the webpage. The list items will contain anchors which will appear as "buttons". The containing div extends to the end and I want it to have a background color. Any help appreciated. Hi, I'm just learning css and need some help. I am attaching an html page that has a navigation bar that changes the background color of the table cell when you mouse over the text link. It works OK but I would like to have the bg color change when you mouse over the td cell. I am currently making it look like it changes the td background by adding Code: display: block; line-height: 32px; to the "td.navbar a:hover" class. Is it possible to change the td background when mousing over it using only css? Here's the code that I have now: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { background-color: #000000; } td.navbar { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } td.navbar a:link{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } td.navbar a:visited{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } td.navbar a:hover{ background-color: #000000; height: 33px; width: 88px; display: block; line-height: 32px; } td.navbar a:active{ font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } --> </style></head> <body> <table width="780" height="35" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#000099"> <tr> <td width="41"> </td> <td width="2"></td> <td width="88" height="33" class="navbar"><div align="center"><font><a href="http://www.mysite.com/">Home</a></font></div></td> <td width="2"></td> <td width="88" class="navbar"><div align="center"><a href="#about">About</a></div></td> <td width="2"></td> <td width="88" class="navbar"><div align="center"><font><a href="inc/support.php">Support</a></font></div></td> <td width="2"></td> <td width="88" class="navbar"><div align="center"><font><a href="inc/contact.php">Contact</a></font></div></td> <td width="2"></td> <td width="88" class="navbar"><div align="center"><font><a href="inc/services.php">Services</a></font></div></td> <td width="2"></td> <td width="88" class="navbar"><div align="center"><font><a href="inc/shop.php">Products</a></font></div></td> <td width="2"></td> <td width="88" class="navbar"><div align="center"><font><a href="inc/links.php">Links</a></font></div></td> <td width="2"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> This work in FF.

I don't put it in the page, I put it in the css file like this: Code: <?php header("Content-type: text/css"); include_once("../inc/csscolor.php"); include('inc/settings.inc'); $basea = new CSS_Color($darka); $baseb = new CSS_Color($darkb); ?> Then in the css I use something like Code: .cart_button { border:1px solid #<?= $baseb->bg['+2']; ?>; padding:2 4; background-color:<?= $baseb->bg['+3']; ?>; color:black; margin-bottom:-6; } #basket { float:right; width:140px; border:1px solid <?= $baseb->bg['+3']; ?>; padding:10px; } td.cart, th.cart { border:1px solid <?= $baseb->bg['+3']; ?>; padding:6px; } to display the color of elements. So here's my conundrum. I have elements with borders that aren't displaying. I'm pretty sure it's a compatibility issue. It renders in IE but not in FF. Thoughts? HeadElf I have an image that is gray-scale, and I want to dynamically change the color using CSS. Is this possible? #example { background-image:url('gray_button.png'); } I could change the opacity/transparency of the image. How do I "set" a color on Top of this image though? Any help appreciated. Hi, I am trying to apply a background color to an item other than the body but I cannot make it display in IE 6 or 5.5. I have tried applying it to both <div>'s and <p>'s. Does IE not support the background-color property outside of the page background? i wanted usersto choose their own style sheet by giving them different links like red, green, blue which will take them to different layouts or background color page. the problem was that worked only for that particular page but if they click on any link or menu from that page it will take them back to the default color. is there any way that i can set so that their choice will stay throught their surfing ? any thoughts ? hanks |
