CSS - Switching Styles
I understand how to write a print.css style sheet, but I am unclear on how to use it. I want to have a link on my page that says "Printer Friendly Version" that displays the printer friendly version and lets them hit the print button on the browser to print it. I think this is the most common way to print a web page, right?
So I am displaying to the screen first and the printer if they hit the button. So how do I get the print.css formatting to display instead of the screen version? Obviously I want a single markup file for both purposes. Similar TutorialsI'm switching my font sizes from px to em (e.g. 10px to 1em) so people can resize the font using their browser settings. However, it's not working. The content on the page remains the same in IE. Should just switching from one to the other work? I can't seem to find any other styles that are conflicting with it. Code: #centerCol p, #centerCol select, #centerCol textarea, #centerCol form, #centerCol td, #centerCol th, #centerCol input, #centerColTop p, #centerColSecondaryTop p {
color: #333;
font-size: 1em;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
I'm used to using PHP includes and the like to make my pages. I like having header, footer, and navbar files so I can edit things once across a site. I just took some advice about ditching tables and using CSS for layout. It works fine if I just layout a single page but when I try touse includes everything is all over the place. Still a table-like headache. I'm sticking with it but I thought that CSS would allow me to put everything where i want it, maybe just beginner's problems but I try to put things exactly where I want them or use percentages, nothing works in IE & Netscape at the same time. Any advice on the best layout practices? Hi, I had designed and coded my page, tried to keep all standards, ran it through the W3C HTML and CSS validators - everything seemed alright. Everything since I switched to Firefox. Not a big mess, but if you want it perfect you want it for all browsers. Well we know that life is not easy if you try to satisfy all of them, but how come that even minor things are different? Maybe I'm too stupid not to see the point, I hope someone can help - here's the piece of simple code that behaves different in both browsers: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="content-type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <title> CSS Test Page </title> <style type="text/css"> BODY { BACKGROUND: #5A656B none; COLOR: #5A656B; } .BigBox { BACKGROUND: #FFF none; COLOR: #000; HEIGHT:40px; FONT-SIZE: 12px; } .SmallBox { position:absolute; BACKGROUND: #CAA none; COLOR: #FFF; } </style> </head> <body> <div class=BigBox> Text in BigBox <div class=SmallBox> Some Text in the SmallBox </div> </div> </body> </html> I don't want to start a religious discussion - I just want to have my site displayed in both browsers as it was intended to do. Any help? Thanks in advance, Damianos Hi Guys, Basically I'm having trouble with getting the 'Content' div layer to wrap around the switching div layers. The grey background colour represents the 'Content' div layer which wraps around the button menu OK but doesn't wrap around the layers which switch. The bodged way of doing it is to have a fixed height but then it leaves a blank area underneath the divs that are short of text...If you get what I mean? Code:
<div id="content_test">
<div id="rollovercontentwrapper">
<div id="tabwrapper">
<ul id="tabmenu">
<li><p><a href="#" onClick="javascript:showTabContentOne('TabContentOne')">Summary</p></a></li>
<li><p><a href="#" onClick="javascript:showTabContentTwo('TabContentTwo')">Benefits</p></a></li>
</ul><!--TABMENU-->

Can anybody help me out on this? Many thanks, Mark Hey Guys, I have been working on a template type site where each visitor will be able to click an Href to select a style for the page. I found this code at another site and it works awesome on my local host, but when I upload the files, it doesnt inherit a default style. Here is the Java in my header: Code: <script>
var StyleFile = "style" + document.cookie.charAt(6) + ".css";
document.writeln('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' + StyleFile + '">');
</script>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" id="wa_u" ></SCRIPT><SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="/tracking.js"></SCRIPT>
And here are the links in my page: Code: <b>Select Page Style:</b> <a href="javascript: document.cookie='style=1'; window.location.reload();">Red</a> | <a href="javascript: document.cookie='style=2'; window.location.reload();">Blue</a> | <a href="javascript: document.cookie='style=3'; window.location.reload();">Green</a> | <a href="javascript: document.cookie='style=4'; window.location.reload();">Yellow</a> | <a href="javascript: document.cookie='style=5'; window.location.reload();">Earth</a> | <a href="javascript: document.cookie='style=6'; window.location.reload();">Black</a> Any ideas how to have a default style on the page before the user switches? I want to stick with java if possible rather than PHP or some other language. Please let me know. Thanks I'm in need of a method to change an image to different images in the same spot when the user hovers over their respective text links. So far I have only found methods that work with only 2 different images or they just change upon hovering over the image itself and not text located elsewhere. THanks. Hi, what I'd like to do is have a few style sheets, then have a dropdown box where the user can select a theme and it will switch the style sheet in the link rel= according to which theme they chose. This should be pretty simple but I'm not much of a programmer. Can anyone help me out with the code for this? Thanks Hi, I'm using a regular drop-down manu for a CSS change. I can easily get regular links to work, but the drop-down menu will only work in Mozilla. In IE, if I add a 'submit' or 'change' button, the page is reloaded to the home page, and I don't want to make a million different menus, one for each page. Anyone know how to fix it? Here's the page's URL, and the code I use for the drop-down. http://www.pokevista.com/home.shtml <form name="change" method="change" action="http://www.pokevista.com/home.shtml?"><select> <option>Style Switch:</option> <option value="#"onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('nav1'); return false;" style="background-color: rgb(0, 33, 87); color: rgb(125, 167, 217);">Winter</option> <option value="#"onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('nav2'); return false;" style="background-color: rgb(101, 189, 96); color: rgb(0, 94, 15);">Spring</option> <option value="#"onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('nav3'); return false;" style="background-color: rgb(240, 112, 0); color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Summer</option> <option value="#"onClick="setActiveStyleSheet('nav4'); return false;" style="background-color: rgb(153, 37, 7); color: rgb(255, 185, 0);">Autumn</option> </select></form> {yes, I'm 15 and a Pokemon fan. Bite me. ^__^;} I have a personal website that has 13 different styles - easily switchable through a drop-down menu. Is it possible to insert background music (bgsound=) in CSS and make it work with the switching I have? Here is the URL: http://brandon.ennis.tv/home.shtml i've been searching the web for a couple weeks trying to find a simple way to swap CSS classes onMouseOver, making a simple, and elegant Rollover button. i've found tons of examples with really complex methods, but i really need to do it with CSS classes. so i've read repeatidly that by putting the following code as your TD tag you'll be able to change class names. and it simply doesn't work at all. the code i'm having a problem with reads like this: <td class="out" onMouseOver="this.className='over'" onMouseOut="this.className='out'"> it just doesn't work. anyone at all who can give me a code that does work, i'd be more than appreciative. oh, and by the way i'm using IE 6.0.2600 Is it possible to change the bullets of an unordered list when you hover over the <li> element using CSS? I've tried something like this.. Code:
#ulist ul{
list-style: none;
}
#ulist li a{
list-style: square;
}
the list Code: <ul id="ulist"> <li><a href="#">Element 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">Element 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">Element 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">Element 4</a></li> </ul> But that doesn't work, the reason I think is because the list-style is being applyed to the <a> and not the <li> element. If not a CSS, how would I use JavaScript to determine the <li> element and add the "square" bullet style to it? Cheers, Fozzy Hello, I came to this forum for help a couple months ago and was very impressed with how my questions were answered, so I hope nobody minds me coming around again. I've begun to create a stylesheet for my website that is completely fluid, rather than the 500px wide container my old stylesheet has. I've run into a couple problems that may or may not be related: 1) In my header div, I have an <h1> element and a <ul> that I'd like to be on the same line, but they're on different ones. 2) Both Firefox and Safari draw unnecessary scroll bars (both vertical and horizontal). 3) Sometimes my footer div will inch up from the bottom of the screen, where I'd hoped to leave it anchored. Here is a test html: http://www.bsuto.com/test.html and here is the css: http://www.bsuto.com/fluid.css Thanks! -Brian Unfortunately I am not very experienced and I am trying to edit some coding that has been done for me. The code is as follows <div title="[[TITLE]]" style='background-image: url ([bg]); padding: 5%; width:90%; height:100%; padding-left: 6%; padding-right: 6%; background-size: 100% 100%; '> Now what happens is the words I type in this box are beautifully laid out because of the padding... The images placed in the box should stretch border to border - but obviously don't because of the padding.... Can anyone please tell me what I can change to give my text padding but images with no padding? Thanks so much Hello -- new to this forum. My questions concerns a problem I've run into many times. I'm trying to be CSS-moral and use style sheets as much as possible, or a least place properties in the Header. But here's what I run into. Many times I find it necessary to have different properties for the same tag within the Body. Currently, I use CSS to create the Menu items at the top of each web page, an Unordered List, using the "li" tags. Ok, but I just discovered that by using a new CSS statement, I can use custom bullets in the Body's li tag: list-style-image : url(bullet.gif) . Cool!!! So, I went about making a little dog bone .gif and used it for my bullet graphic halfway down the page. Voila! It worked. Voila! I suddenly have dog bones in my menu (which I don't want !), which also use the li tag. I only know two workarounds. 1) is to go back to the BAD practice of using the taboo in-line style="images/dogbone.gif" in each li within the body and NOT put the statement in the Header style section or 2) at least try to use CSS in the header by making a class like li.bone { list-style-image : bone} and then repeat class="bone" for each li in the body, which is only slightly shorter than just putting in the style="xxx" in the first place. So, how do we handle using different style properties for the same tag within the body? Perplexed, Mike I'd like to seperate blocks of text with a horazontal rule. I'd like it to be dashed. So, I've come up with this: Quote: hr { border: none 0; border-top: 1px dashed #000; width:98%; height: 1px } However, although this works well in IE, it Firefox there is too much space between the HR and the text block under it. In other words, the text above the HR comes right up to the line, but the text under the line, there is a larger gap. Any way to close the gap? Any ideas? What is the difference between inline styles and id's? Are there places where you should use one and not the other? Sorry if this has already been answered but I couldn't find anything in a search. I am hacking a clients css. Can someone tell me where I am going wrong. His site is a Smarty one. Here is the meta tags. The website is www.russiansweets.us and I am trying to format the links in the right nav menu underneath the search function that are presently red. I added class A.one:{} Class but it seems not to make a difference. I get the same color links before as after (red) Code:
<html>
<head>
link href="stylenew.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
{literal}
<style>
A
{
COLOR: red;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:hover
{
COLOR: #993300;
FONT-SIZE: 11px;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
// here is the part I added a.one
{
COLOR: #FFFFFF;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica;
FONT-SIZE: 13px;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
a.one:hoover
{
COLOR: #FFFFFF;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica;
FONT-SIZE: 13px;
FONT-WEIGHT: bold;
TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
</style>
//end of what I added

Hi, I'm trying to create a PDF of my site, and I want it to look EXACTLY like the site. Right now the links are coming out blue (instead of the color I've defined in my CSS), and the fonts are not displaying according to what I've defined in the CSS. Someone once told me that I can overlay the pages with a transparent gif and that would preserve my original CSS definitions. But I can't get that to work. If I add a <div> to the html page, in an effort to overlay a transparent image over the entire page, and then I convert it to a PDF, then in the PDF the big transparent image just moves to the bottom, underneath the rest of the page. Thanks to anyone who can maybe help. Laura S. Newbie question...I've always struggled with getting my links to show up right (hover styles, visited styles, etc.) In this case, I want my links to show up without an underline normally, but with an underline when hovered over. When they're visited, I don't want there to be any difference. I want them to show up normally. Right now I've got Code: .leftnavtext A:link {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
}
.leftnavtext A:hover {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: underline;
}
.leftnavtext A:visited {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
}
.leftnavtext {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
}
And when I hover over a visited link, it doesn't get underlined. Any idea why? Thanks. This is the website I am working on: http://www.rookscommunications.com/projects/naturalne/index.html Everything is working fine, except the footer. When I view it in FireFox, I'm all set, but most likely most people will be using IE and that's where the problem is. Any thoughts on the bug? I've tied many different things. ALSO... to kill two birds with one stone. Could you peek at my javascript for random images...every now and then it selects a blank image and that's no good. Many Thanks |
