CSS - Keep Anchor A Color When Viewing That Page
Hello,
I have a menu of <a> tags and when the user is on the page that the <a> tag goes to how do I keep it a different color than the rest of the <a> tags on that page? I tried a.active and it does not work. Also this page is dynamic so the nav menu is repeated often and is one block of code. Setting a different class according to each page is not an option. Thanks for the help. Similar Tutorialsif you take a look at http://www.cherrysociety.com/mag/art/ you'll see it works fine in IE, but when it is viewed in firefox it's so messed up. can anyone help me? tell me what i've done wrong? the css is at http://www.cherrysociety.com/mag/style.css thanks guys, i appreciate it a lot. So I have a myspace, and I like things neat and compact. And I like filling out lots of long surveys that most likely no one will ever read, and posting them on my myspace. But when I do that, my page becomes very long and I don't like that. So my idea was something like this: There would be a series of links across the top that would correspond to the various surverys and/or other content that I deem necessary to share with the world. The many users who visit my page looking for more details about my life click on the link of their choice. The box below all the links shows that particular survey. They read it all, and of course want more, so they click the next link. And poof, a new survery shows up right where the other one was. Compact and efficient. I've seen sites use a slightly similar system before, often in the help/faq sections. You find the topic you need help with, click on it, and it pops up below it. However I'm pretty sure they used javascript, which isn't allowed on myspace. ("Security" or some other overrated matter). Therefore I would have to do it with CSS. I was thinking have each survey in a different table, all absolute positioned in the same place. Then when you click the link, either all the rest get visibility turned to not visible, (and that one turned to visible), or perhaps the z-index is changed. However I'm not sure you can do that in a link, especially without javascript. So I may need to find an alternative. Unfortunately, I'm not very good with CSS at all, and I'm also not very creative in problem solving. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could implement this system without javascript or using other pages? (I just get my one little myspace homepage, although I guess I could cheat and use blog pages too. But then all the other blog crap like comments would show up on it). I apologize if this has already been covered, I tried to look through the more recent posts for something similar and found nothing, and I wasn't really sure what to search for, since it isn't really something concrete I'm working with. I don't necessarily need code, mostly just ideas right now. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps, and if you don't know what I'm talking about/thought it was too long, tell me and I'll try to clear it up or shorten it up, respectably (and respectfully, as it were). PS. My myspace account, if you care and didn't already guess, is www.myspace.com/mynameismolotov. Althought it's basically empty right now. I am using dreamweaver cs5 and when I test my page in firefox, it is the color that I chose ( a pink color), but when i test it in internet explorer, it is black (this is the background color). Does anyone know why this is happening and how to correct it? Also, I made my page with tables and centered the table with no margins. well the page has a huge margin gap at the bottom in google browser, but it is fine in IE and firefox. any suggestions? Thanks. Hello, and thanks in advance for anyone who helps me with this. I want to know if it's possible to choose one color on a page and change it to another. This is the page I want to change: http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=bubbapyque The menu on the left is uneditable by me because it's on Neopet's server. But I'd like to change the yellow color of the menu to something else. Possible? Thanks. Crystal Hi there, I have two problems with the display of my website in different browsers. The first is when you view my site, http://www.tophatweddings.co.uk in FireFox. In IE 6 the white background extends to the foot of the content. However in Firefox you'll notice it doesn't and the left, central and right columns all finish at different levels. How can I get the white background to behave in the same way as IE? My second issue is with IE7. Now, some people might actually download and install this "browser" - those poor people. Anyway in IE 7 you'll notice the footer just decides to display halfway through the page because I guess some CSS has changed in this version of IE. Does anyone know what this could be? Help with either of these issues would be greatly appreciated and reputation points award to those who post helpful answers. Thanks - www.devwebsites.com There is a little strip of lightened color on that part and I don't think its from the images at least..I can't for the life of me figure out what is causing it. Thanks hey, i have a question regarding css on my website: http://poolghost.com/ my css file is located at http://poolghost.com/base.css basically what i am trying to accomplish is having a:hover's color change to a different color on the right side of the layout. and i would like links on the right side to be underlined. please advise.. thanks, --avery Hi All, I'm new to the forum. My website's Index page is losing all my body font and color settings, though layout is correct. All of the subfolders' index pages and other pages throughout my website remain unaffected. I've sanity checked it all, and it validates OK. I have an email in to the webhost for some input, but I hoped to get some advice from other CSS-ers who might be in the know. My website is: NickiGreenwood.com I am a romance author and sideline-web-design-junkie. Any help, advice, or even a point in the right direction would be a huge, huge help. Thanks, all. Nicki Greenwood - Romance Author Hey, I use div's to create my page structure (you can see it on the screenshot) http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/...tructurege3.jpg The green part is the navigation and the blue part the contents of the page. But as you see the colors both dont fill up till the bottom of the document. And if i set: height: 100%; then it will fill up to the bottom, but when the contents gets to big and a scrollbar is needed, then the part that you scroll down is not filled up with the colors anymore. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks in advance. Site CSS I've been making that for a few days now. It used to be larger, but didn't fit on an 800x600 display. I resized the three sliced BG images down to 641px from 684px. I resized #main to 768px. I chose 641px for this reason... The left side BG is 125px wide. The border for #main is 2px. 641 + 125 + 2 = 768px Right? Is my thinking clear? It all looks great in all 3 major browser, IE, FF, and Opera! I'm stoked! I have FF, but I did not have that developer extension. So, I downloaded it. This is GREAT! Now, when I resize to 800x600, the window I had it in shrinks, and I STILL get a horizontal scrollbar. I don't care about a vertical scrollbar. I'm not worried about that, but I don't understand why I get a horizontal scrollbar. Is there some web development piece of info I don't have, or am I just doing something wrong. Now, let me also say that the entire page still actually fits on screen at 800x600, meaning that all text is still visible, and all links/images can be seen, but the fact that there is a scrollbar at all annoys me... Please have a look-see, and tell me what you think, folks. All in all, how do I ensure that anyone with any screen can effectively view this site? Chris I have having trouble with CSS alignment when dealing with IE7 If i have 2 DIV tags (one inside the other) and set 10px padding for the first DIV tag and the set the left hand alignment of second DIV tag to 50% the left hand edge will be 50% plus the padding where as in FireFox and Safari it does not matter that there is padding it still aligns up to the 50% line. Can any body point me in the direction of a fix? Thanks Here's the code:
Code: <html> <head> <title>Sample Font Shorthand</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> body { margin: 0; behavior: url("../htcmime.php?file=csshover2.htc") } div { } table { width: 100% } .sttable { background-color: #000080 } tr { } td { vertical-align: top } .sttd { font: bold 12px Arial #FFFFFF } </style> </head> <body> <table class="sttable"> <tr> <td class="sttd">Catalog > Categories</td> <td class="sttd">Cart Total: $ 0.00</td> <td class="sttd">Date</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Would someone please tell me why the color of the text isn't rendering white? anyway to disable a user from viewing your css source? not particular for me but, i think there might be a way with php in the css file, but it still displays the code when i go to the file Hi, I am facing a problem while viewing tables in Firefox 1.5.0.1. Everything is fine till the number of rows are less than the table height. As soon as it increases the height, the scroll bard donesn't appear. Instead, it overlaps with the rest of the area. It worked fine in the older versions in IE, Mozilla and Firefox. But now it depending on the height, it hides the rest of the user area as it overlaps it. Can anyone help ? Thanks I'm sure this is something stupid and simple I've overlooked.. So I am hoping that someone here can see what I am missing here.. I am FINALLY in the home stretch for this site, and I cannot for the life of me figure this out.. This only happens on the gallery pages.. The side border disappears when viewing the site in IE7 but ONLY under the Vista OS.. (At home I have IE7 and WinXP and the gallery pages display just fine..) http://clients.overthehillweb . com/hairisle/index.php?main_page=page&id=2&chapter=0 What the is different with IE7 and Vista? Screenshot of what's happening: http://i25.tinypic . com/2gtq4jr.png Perhaps a better question is this.. It appears that my method for applying that border to the center content and dropdown nav menu is not working well under IE7 with Vista (and for some folks XP and IE7). Is there a better way to apply this border to the center content and the nav menu that WILL work with IE7?? When I view my Dreamweaver CS4 html page on Firefox, the AP elements I used on it are not viewing properly. They are getting bumped down a bit and thus misaligning with other elements on the page. Any suggestions? Thanks. I'm making a game that revolves around four teams. For developmental purposes, I made the team colors blue, red, green, and yellow. And now I'm at the stage where I'm designing a layout. The theme is set in the 1800's, and my first idea was to have a different color scheme for each team (in accordance with their team color,) but my layouts ended up having nothing to do with the 1800's -- just colors (I want to give a very real effect to this website.) So I tried making a universal layout with a sort of tea-stained, burnt edges, parchment look, with a black background, but I had trouble making it tile nicely (partly the burnt edges, partly the stains in the paper.) So this is where I am. I need help designing a layout! I can change the team colors to whatever, I have beginner/intermediate photoshop skills (though, I'm quite competent,) and all suggestions are warmly welcomed! hello, about the well-known color warnings (and in the best interest of good accessibility practices) is setting "background-color: inherit" a proper solution? it supresses the errors, but does it solve the problem of having good contrast between different elements/the use of custom stylesheets? i'm asking because i have a stylesheet with different classes for text which are used over different background-colors (from the parent elements). so unless i make a class for each possible application of these text styles, i don't see a way to specify a fixed background-color... i hope i explained my issue properly... thanks for any thoughts or suggestions on this Hello, I am trying to create something really simple: An image anchor with a height of 100px where the image is centered inside the anchor ... However, this is not working: http://www.27lamps.com/Beta/Bar/Anchor.html I added a red background to the anchor to check it out. Any idea how to make this work?
