CSS - 'web Safe Colours' - Still Relevant?
That's about the height of it.
I have been trying to pick colours for the site I'm playing with. I can't find any pastal (my preference - not necessarily the best, I'm still learning) colours I like in the Web Safe Colours. So, I started snooping around the internet . . . mostly to find out how bad it is that I'm not considering IE 5.x when developing. I found this information at Upsdell: Browser News and it appears to be dated Nov 19th 2005. It suggests that ~1% are restricted to the 256 colours. Is this site reputable for information accuracy and is it reasonable to conclude that web safe colours are a thing of the past? Cheers! Similar TutorialsIm creating a website for somebody and using CSS for positioning. Ive created a main content container which is a DIV and have several child DIVS which are the content themselves. The problem I am positioning the divs using relevant positioning but in firefox the webpage is still leaving lots of space underneath the positioned divs like they are stacked on top of each other. Safari isnt giving me this problem and I havent even looked at it in IE so i dont know yet. But could somebody please tell me how I can get firefox to get rid of all the space underneath because my DIVS are not stacked. http://christopher-ball.com/Craig/ visit that in firefox and you will see what I mean, theres a big chunk of red UNDER the footer that shouldnt be there. If i take out the awards and sponsors DIVS then the block disappears. Hi. I've got an element in my CSS such as: PHP Code: .footer { width: 760px; background-color: Aqua; } I'm trying to use it in a table to have the table take on the properties of the .footer element. Currently I'm using it like this: PHP Code: <TABLE class="footer" ALIGN="CENTER" BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=2> <tr><td>MY CONTENT</td></tr></table> Should the bg of the table not be what I set in the CSS element??? Hi, Why does the following not change my scrollbar colours? PHP Code: body { font: 14px Arial, sans-serif; color: #18387B; background: #687BA3; margin-top: 5px; margin-left: 5px; SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #FF9900; SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #FF9900; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: #999999; SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #FFFFFF; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #666666; } Hi, Is there a way to tell the browser to replace certain colours with other colours? For example replace #FF0000 with #00FF00? Also is there anyway to refer to the parent of an element? Thanks, Matthew how can i colour the scroll bars on my page - i.e. the ones when you have to scroll up and down the page, but also, the ones used within form elements such as drop down lists. I have tried using css, but to no avail. My page consists of two frames - one on the left and one on the right. Thankyou. Hi everyone! I am having a problem with some missing colours and images in firefox. I have validated my XHTML 1.0 and CSS as OK. It looks correct in IE 6.0 but not in FF, i am sure someone will know the answer straight away! address is http://www.wellandpower.net charlie Hi, I use blog software (Wordpress) to run my site and this allows me to use different themes. I have created three themes that are exactly the same except for the colours used. I would like to seperate the layout definitions from the colour definitions so that I can call the layout css on all of them and then call the required colour css. I have tried taking out all references to colour and then putting those references into a new css and then calling that but unfortunately it didn't work. I am presuming that some definitions require more than just colours. Can somebody help seperate the layout from the colours for me? I'm sure there are other "issues" with the css, so if anything else is bad please let me know. I have attached the relevant css as a text file. TIA Phillip Hi, I'm having trouble with changing the colour of link, vlink and alink in a webpage layer. I use CSS to set the colours in the main page body tag but am unable to change the colour of the hyperlinks in a layer on the same page to a different set of colours. This causes some of links to be unreadable and i'd like to be able to change the colours of the links in the layer but keep the colours on the main webpage. Anyone got any idea how to do this?. Is CSS the way to go?. The website is written in PHP if that makes any difference. Many thanks for any help. Hi Everyone. I'm a new member and so please forgive me if I don't immediately understand all the jargon. However I have a problem and I was hoping someone might be able to help. I have searched the web and W3 schools but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I am using strict HTML with an external CSS style sheet. I have a several paged website I am creating for part of a University assignment. I have several links which have 3 colours for 3 states. Link, visited and highlight. These work perfectly. (For me anyway). I have now been told to remove 'circular references'. I understand this to be; If I am on the 'Home' page, then 'Home' is no longer a link. (The cursor turns to a text bar instead of a hand) I have removed href from the html to stop this happening. leaving just <a>Home</a> This is fine, however, the colours that I specified in the css now no longer apply and the text is just black. I have followed the instructions in the web pages that I have seen to retain the colours, or add them to an inline style sheet, but nothing seems to work. I can only achieve adding one colour (but not making it change when visited or hovering) or changing the colour of ALL links. Sorry if this is confusing.. I hope someone can help! The relevent code is below. HTML <head> <style type="text/css"> .homebut a:link {color: red;} .homebut a:visited {color: purple;} .homebut a:hover {color: orange;} <!--none of the above seems to work--> </style> </head> <body> <div class="homebut"> <a>Home</a> </div> CSS /*This is applied to all links but doesn't work when I remove HREF from the HTML*/ a:link { COLOR: #0099FF; text-decoration:none;} a:visited { COLOR: #00FFFF; } a:hover { COLOR: #FFFFFF; } Hi guys i am lost big time. ive spend well over 10 hours trying to think, try, to solve this problem. i have got 6 Horizontal CSS Dropdown Menu to make but each one of them must have there own colours , green, blue, yellow, pink etc. and in that the hover colour must match the colour menu that your on at the time i.e be slightly darker. any ideas on how i would do this its driving me mad, ive tryed classes, divs java but am just getting no where Hi to all, I have seen this CSS, however I do not know if it is valid or not (that is, whether it works on IE7, IE6, FireFox and Opera). Code: background:url('../images/nav/shadow.gif') left no-repeat;
What it does is that it places an image on the left side of an element. I have seen this in a ul li definition. Is this safe to use? or? I have seen it work on IE7 and FireFox! Also, is it valid to use in a ul li? regards, Sim085 Hi there, I have set up some scollbar colours for IE. I have some scrollable divs that are using the css, but the main scrollbar to the right of the browser does not have the css applied to it. This is my css: PHP Code: scrollbar-arrow-color: #ffffff; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #d4e5ab; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #517107; scrollbar-face-color: #719e07; scrollbar-highlight-color: #add450; Any ideas why that is? |
