CSS - Setting The Class Of A Division
Hi, these forums have being a godsend to me so far, providing really useful information on my road to becoming a webdesigner, I wondered if someone could help me with a CSS problem I am having. I want to have a green background behind some text, however, I want the background to just be behind the text not to extend all the way across the screen. I think that the best way to do this is to have a division that I set the length of using CSS and include the text in there, my code so far is as follows:
<style type="text/css"> body {background-color:} h1 {background-color: #00ff00} p {background-color:} h2 {background-color: transparent} div.block {style=width:300px} </style> <div style="width: 300px"} <p><h1>THIS TEST</h1></p> </div> <div class="block"> <p><h1>THIS TEST</h1></p> </div> For some reason the div is not tallying with the div.block in the style sheet, if I specify the width of the division in the actual html tag within the body its working fine, can anyone spot what I might be doing wrong. I will give some time back at this forum helping others when I am finished on my current project in exhange for the time people have given up for me. Thanks Similar TutorialsDon't know if I got the language right on the headline? I've got the following css for my forms: .form table { border-collapse: collapse; color: black; border: 1px solid black;} and the markup looks like this <table class="form" width="100%" cellspacing="0"> however when I link a different page to the same sheet I'm getting a table that has been styled with the above scc even though i haven't marked up the class... any ideas... good http://www.rickweston.com/my_ucwdc/membership/register.php bad http://www.rickweston.com/judge/about_judge/index.php thnks for any help I know this is in the archives. I thought I understood how to do this but I can't seem to get it to work correctly. As always it's ie that won't render it correctly. I have one division inside another. The outer division will center but the nested division will not. I've set html and body to text-align:center , I've added the text-align:center to the body tag and then the division to text-align: left . It's just not working. Here's the example code: Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type='text/css'>
HTML { align-text:center;}
body { align-text:center;}
#wrapper { margin: 50px auto; text-align: left; height:124px; width: 250px; }
.upper { margin: 15px auto; width: 50%;}
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" style="text-align:center">
<DIV id="wrapper">
<DIV class="upper">Just some text. Just some text. Just some text. Just some text. Just some text. Just some text.</div>
Text to show the area.
</div>
</body>
</html>
Help Also, why is it necessary to have the text-align=center definition in both the embedded sheet and the in-line. after just getting my site fixed up, I have encountered a small problem with the divs, where the middle div (the main content) just ignores the right div (where im going to put adds). I was hoping someone could take a quick look at it and tell me how i could fix this small problem. http://funnyguys99.tripod.com/index.htm There are better details of the errors on my page, if you didn't quite get the problem. I have a division on my web page. I've set the width to 800 and the height to 100. Inside of the division I have 3 nested divisions The first holds a logo and is positioned absolutely within the wrapping division so that it appears on the left side. The division has a background image and the word "HTML" that is centered both vertically and horizontally within the nested division. The second nested division is positioned so that the text within it appears in the upper right of the wrapper. The third nested division is positioned so that the text displays in the lower right hand. The problem is that in IE I am getting alot of white space between the bottom of the wrapper and the bottom of the third nested division. This does not happen in firefox. Can anyone tell me what is hapening here. I know how to center a division horizontily in a page with this: Code: #division {
width:800px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-400px;
}
Now I havent been able to center it both horizontilly and vertically, in a fashion that will resize the division based on the resolution. In other words I do not want to use absolute left or right locations. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! i have a layout like so: Image here the reason for the main block was to see if i could set the footer to the bottom of the main block so that it would stay below the content column, ive added a border to the main block to see where it is, and it only seems to go around the header and footer, ignoring the middle columns. You can view the site here, the big border at the top is the border around the main part Ok what i have been asked to do is set up a webpage with three divisions ( i think), in a column structure. Title at top then seperate divisions? for each of my books which will be getting added. Now the books should be contained as the book title, author, publisher etc with an image to the right of all this information. However the author, title and publisher have all different formats, the author should be bold, the title in italics etc etc. I am finding it difficult to know what tag to use to split up this information. Just now i have created a <div> section labelled book1 for the first book. How do you go about splitting up the txt within this division tag as i will be writing a CSS sheet to manipulate the author, title and publisher with all different formats. Thanks Hi, I have been a CSS/XHTML developer for about 6 months now and I just came accross a problem that I have had difficulty solving... I have spent about a week on this problem, and still no luck... I kind of restarted too with no luck... I am thinking this may be a bug... But it works fine in IE... In firefox, the content division background does not continue, instead a footer background is moved up... This is so weird, I dont know how this can be possible... This has been extremely frustrating... If anyone can help, that would be great! Thanks a lot! hey, I got a table, every <td> in the table got the css class .regular. (<td class='regular'>). When the user moves their mouse over a row, that row should change color. This works with the following code: <tr onmouseover='this.className=\"hoverRow\"'> However, this only works if the td's in that row have no class set yet. And since all td's in my table have a class set allready, i cant use this. How can i overwrite the class of the td's by the class for the whole row? thanks in advance Using the following example: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Test</title>
<style type="text/css">
a
{
display: block;
}
a.one.on, a:hover.one, a:hover.one.on
{
color: red;
}
a.two.on, a:hover.two, a:hover.two.on
{
color: orange;
}
a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on
{
color: green;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" class="one">one</a>
<a href="#" class="two">two</a>
<a href="#" class="three">three</a>
<p> </p>
<a href="#" class="one on">one</a>
<a href="#" class="two on">two</a>
<a href="#" class="three on">three</a>
</body>
</html>
Notice how, in IE6 (works fine in FF), when the secondary style named 'on' is added, all 3 links in the 2nd set display the properties of the style: Code: a.three.on, a:hover.three, a:hover.three.on
{
color: green;
}
(since it is last in the list) rather than the style specified by their respective numbers (i.e. 'one', 'two' or 'three'). Is there a way to overcome this in IE. I've read several forums and know that the technique I'm trying to achieve is possible, however I can't seem to get it to work. Basically I'm trying to shift the background positions of both the list item I'm hovering over and the next list item. I'm sure its just a syntax error and not a logic error, anyways the code is below - any help would be greatly appreciated! Code:
HTML Code
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="#" class="search"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="battery"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="cart"></a></li>
<li><a href="#" class="contact"></a></li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS
.search, .contact, .cart, .battery
{
width:100px;
height:30px;
margin-left:-1px;
display:block;
}
.search
{
background-image:url(Images/search.png);
}
.contact
{
background-image:url(Images/contact.png);
}
.cart
{
background-image:url(Images/cart.png);
}
.battery
{
background-image:url(Images/battery.png);
}
ul li a.search:hover
{
background-position:0px 60px;
}
ul li a.search:hover ul li a[class=battery]
{
background-position:0px 60px;
}
Sorry for the lousy title, can't come up with better wording.... What I'm trying to say is can someone give me an example code of a css syntax that accept one css classname and add a few more properties to it under a different class name. Sort of like merging two classname into one. Thanks... Hi All, I am very new to CSS and i am working on preparing a document of an existing CSS. Can someone tell me if the margins are set as this, margin:0px 31px 0px; Is it top,right and bottom? Thanks Prena Hi, I'm trying to set up three div's as columns, where the left and right divs adjust their width as the page shrinks/expands and the centre div has a fixed width of, say 400px. Also, the left and right div's must be smaller (height wise) to the centre div, but all need to align at the bottom. I've tried the following set up, but it doesn't do what I want... Code:
.centre
{
float: left;
width: 400px;
height: 60px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
}
.left, right
{
float: left;
width: auto;
height: 30px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000000;
}
.right
{
clear: right;
}
...
<div class="left">
</div>
<div class="right">
center text
</div>
<div class="right">
</div>
Any guidance on this would be appreciated Thanks for your time. Coding my site up, and I've hit a stump. I've got a box div that I'm putting text in. I try adjusting the height, and it works fine in Mozilla/Firebird, but IE just seems to ignore it (which is causing me problems). Anyone familiar with this? Grrr for some particular reason in Firefox and IE div.userinfo wont stay to its assigned width.. what it is doing is that its expanding its width to fill up the text.. but.. it should just break to a new line. html Code: Original - html Code <div class="container"> <div class="subject">this is for your subject</div> <div class="userinfo">Your memosfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfsadfasdfasdfsadfasfasdfsadfsadfasdfa</div> </div> <div class="container"> <div class="subject">this is for your subject</div> <div class="userinfo">Your memosfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfsadfasdfasdfsadfasfasdfsadfsadfasdfa</div> </div> css Code: Original - css Code div.container { border: 1px solid #000000; position: relative; margin: 0 auto; width: 580px; height: 432px; } div.subject { position: absolute; border: 1px solid #cccccc; top: 0px; left: 290px; width: 290px; height: 50px; } div.userinfo { position: absolute; border: 1px solid #cccccc; width: 15px auto; height: 150px; }
div.container {
Anyone knows why? i even changed white-space: nowrap, and etc. I need to have a div element with borders that use background image as border corner background. div must be able to expand in height and width automatically. How can I achieve this? I'm just learning CSS, trying to create a simple 3 column layout using floats. I have a background image and would like each column to have a background transparency. I'm able to sort of do this using something like the following: //background: white; //opacity:0.2;filter:alpha(opacity=20); the problem I have is that it changes the transparency of the content I put into the float, not just the background. I tried creating a span and specifying the opacity of that but it only works relative to the transparency of the float. It still doesn't create non-transparency within the float. I am using <input type=image> in my code and setting a background image for this element using css. I am not defining"src" so I get blank image symbol. How do I remove that? Hi, Not sure if this topic is ok if someone can nail this down here, but I have a question. How good or bad is it to set all the value to zero? Like Code: blockquote, body, dd, div, dt, fieldset, form, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, input, li, ol, p, pre, textarea, th, td, ul{
margin:0 0 0 0;
padding:0 0 0 0; }
in front of the rest of styles. What about the other tag's, how to zero them out? Or should I enter the CSS default value's? CSS 2 and CSS 2.1 are different with some default value's. How good is this for all browsers in this universe? First I want to call it resetting them to defaults, but thats not the right word I think. Each browser has his own start ( default ) values. And setting them to a defined startvalue is not really resetting, but thats just word nickpicking. Also what's more save Code: margin:0 0 0 0; padding:0 0 0 0; or Code: margin:0; padding:0; is it 100% sure that the latter one overrides all the margin-lefts:10px ( thinking about cascading )? Some comments? |
