CSS - Multiple Link Schemas Question

I'm building a site that will have a style sheet that should be applied site wide (main.css) and then some pages will have styles that should only be applied to them (custom<X>.css).

Should I use multiple <link> tags to import each stylesheet or should I edit custom<X>.css and add @import "main.css"; to the beginning. Doing this would make the code look cleaner, but will the browser still cache the main.css file?

Am I being too persnickety about the look of my code and just use multiple <link>s?

You're probably not going to fully understand what I'm asking, because I can't describe things well, but just try. Okay?

I've seen websites that have the navigation on the left side in a panel. And when you click a link on there, the page loads in the bigger panel on the right. But, the whole page doesn't reload (in other words only the big right panel reloads). I'm pretty sure they use CSS for that, not frames. Because when I look at the code on those certain pages, I can see that they use style sheets. Are you still following?

My question to you is, how do you target the link to shoot into that panel???

I can't figure it out. Maybe you can. Feel free to ask any questions.

I have one link on a web page that I want the default colors to appear on. How do I turn off A:link, A:visited, A:active, & A:hover styles for one single link? I want all the other links to remain as they are presently set with CSS. Also, I want the font attribute(s) to remain set for the link in question.

Thanks,

Hey all,

I have a seemingly simple problem with my link and header styles that I keep thinking had a really obvious solution which I can't see, so maybe it will be glaringly obvious to someone on here!

Notes: I'm a bit of a css beginner and I'm using Wordpress on my site.

I want to style the link-attributes of a specific <h3> tag so it won't underline when hovered. (the current hover-decoration is specified in the overall a: styles of the website).

Only thing is that I can't use a link class because the <h3> tag has only <?php the_category(', ') ?> inside, which displays and links to the relevent categories of a blog post.

So how can I style the link without creating a link class??

Appreciate anyone's thoughts on this,

Cheers!

Hello,

I am currently making a site, and this is my first experience using css, and so far I love it. Now I have a page with multiple links on it, and this page has its css info stored in a seperate css file. Now I want some of the links to show up in all satus's (hover, visited ect)with one color, size ect, and some links to show up with a different color. I know i can modify all the links on the page color by adding this to the css page...
------------------------
A:LINK {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
font-size:12pt;
font-weight:bold;}
-----------------------

but how can i make it so each class has a differnt a:link, a:visited, ect. Thanks!

PROBLEM: I create a nice button using the sliding doors technique for rounded corners. But the button displays with 100% width unless I float it. My layout requires that the buttons be inline with the text, so floating won't work. Anyone know an alternative?

I wouldn't mind floating but I want the button to show inline with the text. When I use float:left, it removes it from the inline flow.

Basically, I want a very modular button that can be used in several different places on a page. In many cases, floating is fine because the mockup has it out of the inline text, but I want to use it there, too.

Here's the HTML:

<a class="button" href="#"><span>Update Profile</span></a>

Here's the css:

a.button:link, a.button:visited {
background:url(button_right.gif) no-repeat right top;
}
a.button span:hover, a.button span:active {
background:url(button_left_hover.gif) no-repeat right top;
}
a.button span {
background:url(button_left.gif) no-repeat left top;
color:#fff;
cursorointer;
display:block;
height:20px;
line-height:20px;
margin:0 2px 0 0;
padding:0 10px;
position:relative;
white-space:nowrap;
}

I'm having some problems with this page in particular. Try clicking on one of the Left or Right white image arrows below the main picture. This only occurs in Firefox 2.x. Once you click the link, the content area below "Starting from $278.497" should shift roughly 5 pixels down.

I thought it may be related to the dotted link outline that surrounds the image, but that was not the case. I applied styles to get rid of that and there was no changes.
I also thought it may be related to a position:relative; bug which this site has been notorious for. I tried making certain divs in that area position:relative to no avail. So to test further I tried an overall #content *{position:relative;} fix which could not fix the position shift, either.

I'm not sure what else it could be. And while I do have access to the build of this app, I have not been able to reproduce the issue by downloading all HTML, CSS, and image files locally.

Hello
Is there a way i can restore my <a href> link back to its original color, that is before the a:visited event, when I click on another link?
PS. no Javascript code needed, is their an alternative in css?

I have my links defined with a dashed border, but I don't want this on linked images and I'm trying to figure out if I can accomplish this with CSS only without additional markup in my HTML file.

Here is a sample file:

Any suggestions on how I can get the dashed border to not appear below the image and only appear below the text with just CSS?

Hello

is there a way to make it so hyperlinks are not decorated as the default blue? I have the following css which I've attempted to make it so the text '.com' is always white, but it defaults to the standard link color.

html:

<td class="nodecoration"><a class="nodecoration" href="http://www.somesite.com">.com</a></td>

css:

Code:

td.nodecoration {
	background-color: #003399; color: white; width: 120px; height: 30px; font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif; font-size: 25px; font-weight: bold; text-align:center;
}

A:link.nodecoration {text-decoration: none}
A:visited.nodecoration{text-decoration:none}
A:active.nodecoration{text-decoration:none}
a:hover.nodecoration{text-decoration:underline}

Greetings all,

Firstly, I am just now starting to use CSS instead of tabled layouts. I must say I am impressed by the power of CSS, but am still learning the ins-and-outs of it.

I was wondering if there are any good references/books you'd suggest purchasing or looking at online?

Now for my specific question. For my simple page project I am using to learn CSS, I have a <div> that denotes the header. This is supposed to simply have a small .jpg image on the left and some text on the right, like this:
___________________________
|[ i m a g e ]....................text |

However, it comes out looking like this:

___________________________
|[ i m a g e ]..........................|
|.....................................text|

I suspect it is due to the align: right of the text, but am not sure how to correct it.

Relevant snippets of code:

testpage.html
Code:

...
<div class=header>
<img src="image.jpg"><h1>TEXT</h1>
</div>
...

style.css
Code:

...
#header{
background-color: #FFF;
border: 2px solid #666666;
width: 860px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 30px;
margin-bottom: 0;
}

#header h1{
text-align: right;
margin-right: 20px;
font-style: italic;
letter-spacing: 3px;
}

Thanks for any advice.

I would like to have multiple id and all using hover link for all

#test1, #test2, #test3, #test4 a:hover{
color:#0F0;
}

this doesn't work. NOT sure why??
thanks

Hello!

I'm gonna try to keep this as simple as I can, I don't know css at all...

I have a site where I'm gonna feature trailers in Quicktime and I'm planning on using a script called clearbox to open these trailers. Go to my site and view the trailers to see what clearbox is.

Now, to my problem. I'm gonna have 20 trailers per page, but all the trailers are not the same size. If you check out the trailers on my site you can see that the close button for the Pirates 2 trailer is a bit off, as to the National Treasure trailer where the button is where it's supposed to be. That's because the trailers are in different sizes, and the boxes/windows also are in different sizes. To change the position of the close button, I have to edit the clearbox.css file.

What I'm getting at is that I must have one clearbox.css file for each trailer/window and that every clearbox.css file needs an id or something so I can call it from within the html/php file.

Here's the code for clearbox as I have right now on my site. First up is the code I have within the head section...

Code:

<link href="piratesofthecaribbean2/css_trailer/clearbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="piratesofthecaribbean2/js/clearbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="nationaltreasure/css_trailer/clearbox.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="nationaltreasure/js/clearbox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

And here are the links for the "View trailer"-buttons...

Code:

<a href="piratesofthecaribbean2/trailer.php" rel="clearbox(668,,330,,click)"><img border="0" src="http://www.jbfans.com/images/linkfilms_viewtrailer-normal.jpg" class="domroll http://www.jbfans.com/images/linkfilms_viewtrailer-hover.jpg" width="124" height="27"></a>

Code:

<a href="nationaltreasure/trailer.php" rel="clearbox(668,,342,,click)"><img border="0" src="http://www.jbfans.com/images/linkfilms_viewtrailer-normal.jpg" class="domroll http://www.jbfans.com/images/linkfilms_viewtrailer-hover.jpg" width="124" height="27"></a>

Clearly, this setting doesn't work.

What I wanna know is if I can have multiple clearbox.css files with different settings (to suit each trailer/window) and if I can call these clearbox.css files in this link:

Code:

<a href="nationaltreasure/trailer.php" rel="clearbox(668,,342,,click)"><img border="0" src="http://www.jbfans.com/images/linkfilms_viewtrailer-normal.jpg" class="domroll http://www.jbfans.com/images/linkfilms_viewtrailer-hover.jpg" width="124" height="27"></a>

I hope someone understands what I want, I really want this to work!

Thanks in advance!

this code inherits properly in FF, but not in IE. any workarounds?

Code:

.red
  {
    background:red;
  }

.yellow
  {
    background:yellow;
  }

.red.yellow
  {
    background:purple;
  }

Code:

<table border=1>
<tr class="red"><td>red</td></tr>
<tr class="yellow"><td>yellow</td></tr>
<tr class="red yellow"><td>red yellow</td></tr>
</table>

Ok.

So after some one i don't know on a website i was reading told me i should replace my tables with CSS i decided to listen to them. Now the website's top bar should look like this:

http://www.leeksoftware.co.uk

And i decided to do each box as a DIV. BUT! I can't get them all in a line. I can get the yellow one to the right of the long one but then i cant get the rest in the line. So far the CSS is:

Code:

    div.logo
    {
	height: 70px;
	width: 618px;
	background-color: #476cD9;
	float: left;
    }

    div.home
    {
	height: 70px;
	width: 100px;
	background-color: #E29942;
	margin-left: 619px;
	float: left;
    }

    div.soft
    {
	height: 70px;
	width: 100px;
	background-color: #CC3333;
	margin-left: 719px;
    }

    div.tuto
    {
	height: 70px;
	width: 100px;
	background-color: #006666;
	margin-left: 819px;
    }

    div.cont
    {
	height: 70px;
	width: 100px;
	background-color: #254D78;
	margin-left: 919px;
    }

I tired adding float left to all of them but that made them go diagonal. Can any one help?

Thanks
Matt
