CSS - Want To Make A Select Tool In Css

I want to display text when I hover over certain areas of an image, so I am using an image map, no href, and assigning the text using ALT=. As a result, the text shows up as a tooltip. It works great except that the background color in the tooltip box is a very dated yellow color that looks inconsistent with the rest of my page. Is there any way to change the background color?

(I am trying to avoid scripts because I've never used them and don't really have time to learn how, at this point)

Thanks, Beth

Hi all

I'm working with Firefox and Firebug plugin. I want to check if the CSS I use is valid *the way browsers interpret it*.

Example:

Code:

/* Valid: */
div.my {
  position: relative;
  z-index: 10;
}

/* Invalid: */
div.my {
  z-index: 10; /* The attribute is not applied to the div, because it's not positioned! These sort of errors I want to get to know somehow! */
}

/* Valid: */
div.my {
  z-index: 10; /* At this point the CSS isn't valid yet... */
}

div.my {
  position: relative; /* Now it is valid (I guess, because I guess the browser first parses all CSS available and only after this it assigns the attributes?) */
}

I hope you see what I mean. I came upon this because I had some problems with z-indexes and then remembered that every z-positioned element needs to be positioned. If I had a cool Firefox plugin that would have checked the CSS every time before it were applied to the document and warned me this wouldn't have been a big problem. ;-)

Thanks a lot for help

I am not the author, but this is sweet!

I am developing a help manual and I'd love to include screenshots in the CSS section that shows the page with an opaque type overlay with a description of each CSS rule.

Something like the Developer tools in IE or FF when you use the "select element by click" function, except that I'm after all elements selected by default (together with the CSS ID).

Is there such a thing?

Hi, does anyone know the CSS to change the font and background colour on a select box. My code doesn't work and ive tried without luck searching the net for the solution. This must be really simple.

hi guys, newbie here.

first of all I am no master in HTML or CSS, my main background are non-web, but I've been thrown in at my work to help with this problem they have had for a while, I've progressed it further than most have, but right now I am stuck.

I've been handed a half done task and asked to fix it, obviously some of you may know the problems of trying to fix other peoples problems but I hope you can do it for me. More or less, what I have is a stylesheet to help output invoice data, all of the data is being output correctly, apart from the one table in the invoice which has multiple records to go into it

For example;

QUANTITY
-----------
2
3
4

etc.

What I am currently getting, is the code is pulling all the records, and displaying them in the one cell of the table, getting

QUANTITY
----------
234

I need some way to split it up, I'll show you the code I have.

ORIGINAL CODE I WAS GIVEN
Code:

  <xsl:for-each select="key('DATA',C[6])"> 
  <tr class="style16">
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[27]"/></td>
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[28]"/></td>
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[29]"/></td>
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[30]"/></td>
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[31]"/></td>
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[32]"/></td>
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[33]"/></td>
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[34]"/></td>
    <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="C[35]"/></td>
  </tr>

I've seen made it more consise
Code:

  <xsl:for-each select="key('DATA',C[6])"> 
  <tr class="style16">
    <xsl:for-each select="C[position() >= 27 and position() <= 35]"> 
      <td class="style16"> <xsl:value-of select="."/></td>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </tr>

does anyone have any ideas as to how I can take the seperate records from the database, and output them into rows each?

Apoligies if this is vague...

Why <select> tag ignores my CSS settings for border color, instead it renders XP default?

I have external CSS file and I assign specific class to <select tag> wich contains:
border: 1px solid #545454;

it works well on all form fields except <select>.
Help?

Hi am looking for help changing a form select box with css.

I am trying to get the select box in line with the rest of the scroll boxes and arrows on my site....

is there any way to change the select box arrow to match the arrow beside it???
any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

I am trying to style my form inputs, textareas and selects as follows:


input, select, textarea {
border: solid 6px #ECF0F9;
color: #252525;
font: normal 0.75em Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
padding: 0.25em;
width: 520px;
}


I am having a few problems:


Firefox 3:


1. The select is narrow than the inputs and textareas;
2. When I click the select the dropdown borders look different ...
some are thinner than others.


IE 7:


1. The select is narrow than the inputs and textareas;
2. The border of the select is not changed.


What am I doing wrong and how can I make the appearance of a Select
look the same across various browsers?

Can I do this with JQuery?

Thanks,
Miguel

Hi all, I've got a drop down box (select box) inside an element in a table. How can I get the width of the drop down to expand to fill the size of the table element?

i.e. I have:

| <DROP DOWN> |

but want

| < DROP DOWN > |

Also, is it possible to change the height of a drop down?

Thanks,
John.

how can a ouline be drawn around a select /dropdown box?
i tried the following code n it dint seem to work.Any other solution for drawing a border/outline around select box.
<select name="sample" style="font-size:9px;font-face:verdana;width:130px;margin-left: 2cm;border: 2px solid red">

I've been searching for ways to graphically customise my select boxes (<SELECT>) in HTML, using CSS.

So far, I've been successful in changing some basic stuff, like the background color & font, however, what I would really like to do is do more like change the border, scrollbar color etc. However, I tried doing so, but it seems to me the SELECT element isn't quite customisable this way.

I checked this forum for some help, and googled my way out of this, yet no luck. So, I was wondering if someone would be able to shed some light on my issue, as I think it's really weird, being able to customise just about every form element, except the ugly default combobox...

Any help appreciated!

I am trying to set a background image to the select tag of a form, but its not working in IE, here is my css code:
Code:

select	{
		width:116px;
		background:url(../images/inputDropdown.jpg) no-repeat left top #333333;
		}

any ideas on a fix for this???

thanks in advance!
