CSS - Can I Use Two Classes For One Element?
is it possible to use two classes for one element.
I want to use two classes for one element I thought perhaps it is possible not to create another class to combine both of them. perhaps there is a form of superclass and subclass in css. Similar TutorialsHi, My page has 3 elements: one at the top(header banner), one in the middle (a middle content area) and one at the bottom (footer banner). Now I want those positions to remain intact regardless of the number of lines output in the middle element. The content is going to be determined at runtime by a server-side routine so I don't want to use a fixed positioning for the footer banner. I want it to be displayed at the bottom - after the middle content is displayed. And I want the middle content to be visible in the page i.e. I don't want a scroll area within the page. I have tried various approaches and read up on positioning but so far have not been able to do it using css. Any help is much appreciated. Jim I have an navigation menu that I am building as an unordered list. What I have is an image rollover that appears at the bottom of the navigation menu when the cursor hovers over one of the first level links by using a span within the link that has its display set to none, and then set to absolute positioned directly below the navigation menu on a:hover. Here is an example: Code: <ul> <li> <a href="link1.html" id="link1">Link<span></span></a> </li> </ul> .link a { some link height } .link a span { display: none; } .link a:hover span { position: abolute; top: (some link height * the number of links); background-image: (some image url) width: (image width) height: (image height) } Appearance: ------ Link1 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- ------- Rollover Image to appear here ------- The problem that I have is that since the rollover image is positioned absolutely, if the size of the list of links changes (IE with sub-links in the list) it slides under or over where I have the rollover image placed. IE ------ Link1 sublink1 sublink2 Link2 Link3 Link4 ------- will break my scheme. Is there a way to get the span within the link to show up relative to the bottom of the <ul> element, or at the bottom of an element that contains the whole shebang? If I cant get this to work, I'm going to be forced to adopt the existing tables/javascript based template for our site, and I'd hate hate hate to do that. thanks. Can anyone explain the difference between the two? For example, what is the difference between: this: element element {} div p { } and this: element > element { } div > p { } I don't understand it and have not found an explanation in tireless searching. Thx! I've been trying to clean up my code and in the past I never seemed to make use of predefined html element tags like the H1-H6...and instead I just find that I just make a new class but I was wondering if there is anything wrong with using the H-tags in place of a few classes? Obviously it would have to make logical sense to use, but I'm wondering if there has been any changes in how browsers use those tags in the past few years as I wouldn't want to be using an outdated, soon to be phased out element. heya this doesnt seem to work the second class complety overwrites the first ? id like it to append the second one ? any ideas eg main.css .main-header-back { background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 793px 0px; overflow: hidden; } index.php .main-header-back { background-image:url('/images/main/image.gif'); } ok here is the question. i have done two websites, i have tested them out in multiple browsers and all seemed fine. When i test them in IE the text runs into to image. I am using div classes to control the image. Any insight on why this is happening would be greatly appreciated and hints or solutions would be more then welcomed. I am banging my head against a will trying to figure this out. Thankyou All Hi people, critique this piece of code for a yellowheader and a blue id and tell me what the problem is. It seems both end up as black <style type="text/css"> h3.Big Bird{color:yellow;}/*Class Font#CookieM{color:blue;}/*Id*/ </style> <h3 class="BigBird">Big Bird</h3> <font Id="CookieM">Cookie Monster</Id> Hope to hear from you soon. kaz I have encountered a really annoying bug in IE6 and would be very interested to know if anyone else hase encountered it and found a solution. Look at the following example: PHP 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" lang="en"> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> .class1,.class2,.class3 { border: 1px solid black; width:400px; line-height: 100px; text-align: center; } .class1 { background: none; } .class2 { background: red; } .class3 { background: blue; } .class1.class2.class3 { background: black; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="class1">Test Content 1</div> <div class="class2">Test Content 2</div> <div class="class3">Test Content 3</div> <div class="class1 class2 class3">Test Content 4</div> </body> </html> The four divs should all be different colours as follows: div1: transparent/white div2: red div3: blue div4: black However, both divs 3 & 4 are black. The rule: .class1.class2.class3 { background: black; } is incorrectly effecting divs with only .class3. Any ideas? I have a question. If i create a custom class : p.q {color: black !important;} and a user has a css with the fallowing code: p {color: red !important;} will my text <p class="q">My text</p> be red or black and how can i prevent the user css from overriding my css Hi, This is such a simple thing and it's causing so much grief. For an assignment in our class we are creating a calendar with tables with CSS, and one element in the table (the heading) and certain table data cells themselves must have the same class tag, but they have to do different things to their respective cells. In the heading cells i want a white background and in the other regular cells it must use a jpeg. The regular cells with the jpeg are working fine, but i can't get the buggers up top to go white. Here is my code: Code: td.prev {background-image: url(back.jpg)} td.next {background-image: url(back.jpg)} th.prev {background-color: white} th.prev{background-color: white} Any ideas? thanks in advance. If i set an id to a transition like so: Code: Code: <html> <head> <style> #trans { opacity:100; transition: all 1st ease-in-out; } #trans:hover { opacity:0; } </style> </head> <body> <img src="myimage.jpg" id="trans" /> </body> </html> Then it works fine, but if i use the class ".trans" instead, it doesnt. Im looking for a way to use a style more than once on a page and classes are the only way i know how to do it. Any help? I have a series of image buttons with rollovers that are generated in CSS so I've applied a class to each like this: <a class="homebutton" title="Home" href="#">This is the Home Button</a> This works great but I now would like to apply a second class to the href that calls an animated scroll function from a javascript file. I've tested the function on a simple button and it worked perfect: <a href="#divtwo" class="scroll">Scroll Down</a> What I would like to do is essentially combine the two so that it would be something like: <a class="homebutton" title="Home" href="#divtwo" class="scroll">This is the Home Button</a> But when I do that it ignores the "scroll" class and simply jumps to the #divtwo location on the page without the animation. Ideas on how to have two classes on one button? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Hello, I am creating a message to display on my web sites. The HTML markup is as follows: <div class="Error"> <h3> <img id="Icon" src="Images/Error_Icon.gif" alt="Icon" style="border-width: 0px;"> <span>Header</span> </h3> <p>Description</p> </div> And the CSS: div.Error { background-color: #FFD9D9; border: solid 1px #FF9595; padding: 0.4em; position: relative; min-height: 1.25em; width: 120px; } div.Error h3 {} div.Error h3 img {vertical-align: middle;} div.Error h3 span {color: #B30000; font: bold 1.0em Georgia, Geneva, sans-serif;} div.Error p {color: #B30000; font: normal 0.8em Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; I have 3 types of messages: Warning, Error and Success. The only difference between the CSS of each message is the colors properties. Should I use a class named Message to define all common properties and then 3 other classes: Error, Warning and success to define the color properties: <div class="Message Error"> Or should I use three different classes? How is this usually done? Any other advice on how I am building my message is welcome to. Thanks, Miguel I cant seem to get my cellpadding working for tables, what do i have to input. I have tried: .header {background:#2D759F; width:100%; cellpadding:5} all the others work, jus the cellpadding which does not. Hello, I have 3 type of h2 headers on my web site: 1 - Post titles on a blog (Ex: <h2>New documents available for download</h2>) 2 - Content section title (Ex: <h2>Contacts</h2>) 3 - Sidebar content section title (Ex: <h2>Publicity</h2>) I am trying to build my CSS to style the 3 different headers but I am having some problems. I could use: h2.Post, h2.Content and h2.Sidebar or: h2 (for maybe Post? This would be the base), h2.Content and h2.Sidebar or even: h2 (for Post), h2.Content for content and then h2.Sidebar to change Content class so it fits Sidebar. So a section in sidebar would be: <h2 class = "Content Sidebar">Publicity</h2> Could someone help me in deciding how should I structure my classes? Thank You, Miguel Hi, I'm trying to use multiple classes: div class="class1 class2". As usual, IE 6 does all but not what you would expect. Please allow me to post a code snippet: Code: <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> .class1 { background-color: red; } .class2 { background-color: green; } .class1.class2 { background-color: yellow; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="class1"> .class1 -- should be red </div> <div class="class1 class2"> .class1.class2 -- should be yellow </div> <div class="class2"> .class2 -- should be green </div> </body> </html> Sadly, the rule for .class1.class2 is also applied to the third div, where it should clearly NOT apply, so it is yellow instead of green. I know that using subclasses "is not safe for IE", as is CSS in general -- but is there a workaround that doesn't force me to abandon the technique? Thank you, answers appreciated! www. cooperworkskilns.com/kilns.html Two things: The .section classes (images and borders in the middle) are not stretching the width of the parent <div> in IE. Do I have to specify a width with IE? The margin below the images in the .section classes is greater than what it should be. (noticeable when compared to FF) CSS: #subnav { margin: 15px 0px 0px 10px; padding:0px; } .section { width: 51em; border: solid #999999 1px; padding: 10px; margin: 0 0 10px 0; overflow:hidden; text-align:left; } .section img, img a { float: left; border: solid #999999 1px; margin: 0 10px 0 0; } i have <div class="h">this is type 1</div> <div class="h offer">this is type 1 with backgroundA</div> <div class="hd">this is type 2</div> <div class="hd offer">this is type 2 with backgroundB</div> how do I achieve the CSS for accessing only divs with a class of h AND offer? thanks in advance I am very confused how best to define my style sheet for a given goal. Here is what I need to do: I need to have various styles of tables. Some whose text is centered (like the table header), some whose text is left justified. I need to be able to define link colors for each different type of table (i.e. a.link, a.active, etc). I just don't know how to proceed. It seems that I would do something like Code: TD.centered { text-align: center; } TD.left{ text-align: left; } But then I don't know how to define the link colors. Would I have to do something like Code: .centered a:link { color: #000000; } Isn't there a way I can create one selector that contains everything without having to have all these separate entries? Any help is vastly appreciated! Also, I am confused by the use of SPAN. Is this still used? Or is it best to specify the class in the element tag? thanks, brian Hi all, I have about 10 different titles on my page. I would like to have 10 different colors for each of these titles. Can this be done without having to create classes for each one of them like: .title_one { color: #ffcc00; } .title_two { color: #cc00aa } and so on... Please advise. Thanks. |
