CSS - 2 Style Switcher
Hi,
I am developing a website for a charity. They deal with people with sight problems so changable text size and background colour would be good. I change text size by switching between stylesheets e.g. style-small.css, style-medium.css and style-large.css. The background I switched by code like this: Code: <a href="#" onClick="document.bgColor='#FFEA00'" onFocus="document.bgColor='#FFEA00'" >Yellow</a> But I just realised that everytime you click a new link or refresh the page you are going to have to reselect your preffered background colour. Anyway I can use the above method again without messing up the switching process? Any suggestions? Thanks Similar TutorialsI am just wondering if there is a way to simply extend a style rule from one previously defined. For instance, if I have this rule: Code: .textarea-box { color: #990000; background-color: #fff; width: 375px; height: 200px; border: #000 solid 1px; } ...if I want another text area rule to be the same except for one difference, the height should be 80px, do I have to write the rule out again with a new name, incorporating the new height, or is there some nifty way to just change the height in the new rule? Thanks for help with this. j9 I have a menu bar made up of <a href> elements that have a hover style of:
PHP Code: #mainMenu a:hover { color:#000000; background-color: #66c74c; padding: 1px 4px 1px 4px; margin: 1px 1px 1px 1px; } This will provide a green colored rollover visual as the user moves their mouse over the menu bar. I just added some JS today that will highlight the clicked (selected) menu so there is visual feedback of the section the user is in. For some reason, after setting the background color of the <a href> and color attributes, the HOVER: no longer functions. Here is the code to do the hilite where I pass the ID of the <a href> menu selection in the variable "menu": PHP Code: //--- Simplify setup by creating an array of the menus and hilight ID's --- var menus = ["menu1","menu2","menu3","menu4","menu5", "menu6","menu7","menu8","menu9","menu10"]; function J_hiliteMenu(menu) { //--- first make sure all the menu are hidden and unhilited --- for(i=0; i < menus.length; i++) { if (menus[i] == menu) theIndex = i; // Hold on to the chosen index position var obj = document.getElementById(menus[i]); if (obj == null) continue; // if menu is not available skip it obj.style.color = "#ffffff"; obj.style.backgroundColor = "#234fd7"; } //--- hilite the menu we're interested in --- var obj = document.getElementById(menu); obj.style.color = "#000000"; obj.style.backgroundColor = "#f8f400"; } Prior to hiliting the menu I un-hilite all the menus (since we may be switching from another). I think this is where the problem is. Maybe I need to redefine the rollover "hover" attribute for all elements during the un-hilite loop? Does anyone know how to set a HOVER: attribute using JavaScript? Thanks! How would you go about creating a navbar like the one Red cross uses on the left side for generic website mapping? Red Cross Example Is this pure css with dual images? Or is this done with some effect with other forms of CSS (or even DHTML?) I did a web page for a company and it looks fine in ie7 where I tested it. The problem is when viewed in IE6 its like it ignores the sizes I put in. The box appears too big in IE6 and is the propr size in IE7. Is there any way to fix it so it would look the same in IE6 as IE7? I was reading a tutorial were they always style both <tr> & <td> with the same thing... Is this needed? Or do you just need to style <tr>? Code: table.navigation tbody tr.odd { background: #252525; color: #fff; } table.navigation tbody tr.odd td { background: #252525; color: #fff; } Hello, In the css below, why I can't set it on the same time? Code: background: #FFF url(../images/main_bottom.gif) no-repeat bottom ; background: #FFF url(../images/main_top.gif) no-repeat top ; on my site I have a list with the UL Class of threads. I am not good with CSS at all I have this Code: #threads { padding:0; margin:0; } #threads li { list-style:none; border-bottom:1px dotted #ccc; display:block; padding:2px 0px 2px 13px; background:url(images/sub.png) no-repeat 0 0px; } not doing what I want, my site is mypricesavings(dot)com you can see the list on the homepage under Recent Activity, I'd like to make it so that the avatars line up on top of each other and a line between each one like the featured section located on this site, however, without the scrolling. http://demo.colorlabsproject.com/?theme=arthemia-premium thank you for attempting I might have asked this before, but I can't remember. I have my base class .baseClass { width: 100% } how can I inherit that into other classes? Like maybe: .childClass#baseClass { height: 200px; } .biggerChild#baseClass { height: 400px; } now all three classes would have a width of 100% If I google this all I get are pages telling me <p> will inherit from <html> Also, I know I could do like this: .childClass, .biggerChild { width: 100%; } but I have a pretty big .css file, and it really bugs me to find the base class and add the derived class to it. Also, my base class can have a short name, and my derived class can have a long name, so this saves me some typing. ^^. Thanks for your time, CJB Hi, I'm new to CSS and am trying to design my blog template. For the styles, I have this so far: Code: <style type="text/css"> #navbar-iframe{display: none;height: 0;} body{background: #FFFFFF; font: 13px arial;color: #999;line-height: 150%;} .left { width: 460px; text-align:justify; } .right { width: 180px;font: bold 11px arial;color: #c8c8c8; } .navigations{ background: #6a6a6a; text-decoration: blur; padding-top: 1px; border-bottom: 3px solid #666 ;float: right; width: 190px; font: 28px arial; color: #aaa; line-height: 200%;text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: -2px; } .navigations :hover{ font: 28px arial; text-decoration: none; padding-top: 1 px; border-bottom: 3px solid #666; float: right; width: 190px; color: #F2EAEA; background: #777; line-height: 200%;text-transform: lowercase; letter-spacing: -2px; cursor: crosshair } .cloud { font: 26px georgia;letter-spacing: 1px;color: #BDA28F } .icon {border: 20px solid #eee; width:100px; height:100px;} .h1 { font: 20px times new roman;color: #FD0479; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height:18px;text-transform:uppercase} .h2 { font: 12px arial; color: #6a6a6a; letter-spacing: 1px; text-transform: lowercase;padding:4px;background: url((URL address blocked: See forum rules)); } .h3 { font: 12px arial; color: #6a6a6a; letter-spacing: 1px; font-weight:bold;padding:4px;} a:link,a:active,a:visited {font: 12px arial; color: #aaa; border-bottom: 1px solid #6a6a6a; text-decoration: none;text-transform: none;letter-spacing: 0px; } a:hover { color: #8BC4C4; border-bottom: 1px solid #e8e8e8;background: #f2f2f2; text-decoration: none; cursor: crosshair} b { color: #BE0304;font-weight:bold; } i { color: #FA727C; } s { color: #ddd; } em {font-family: georgia} blockquote{ color: #999; background: #f5f5f5;padding: 8px; } </style> But I can't seem to get the hover navigations to change background colour and text colour.

I know how to substitute stle sheets based on browsers, but here's the issue at hand. I have 2 styles for the <ul> which follow: ul.nav{ clear:both; width:192px; padding: 0px; display: block; background-color:#000000; margin-top:-11px; margin-left:0px; float:left; } and ul.bodyText{ font-color:#000000 font-size:12px; font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif; } it appears that "ul.bodyText is taking on the characteristics of "ul.nav" Or, for some reason, the <ul><li>'s in my Mac look fine, but on my PC, they do not have the indent preceeded by the dot. Here's the site http://www.caillouette.com/NewestSelvan/English/aboutUs.php can anyone tell me why? thanks -Sean Hi there, I have a list which I want to display the sub items without any left spacing.. so they are listed directly beneath the parent item. It works fine in IE, but not in FF or Opera. This is what I have: Code: <ul id="treemenu1" class="treeview" style=" padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; list-style: none; margin-left: 10px; padding-left: 0px;" > <li style="list-style: none;"> <img src="images/arrow.gif" border="0" > <a class="nav_main" href="#"><strong>Parent Item</strong></a> </li> <ul style="list-style: none;"> <li style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #444444; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px; list-style: none; margin-left: 0px; "><a class="nav_sub" href="page"><img src="images/arrow.gif" border="0" >Sub Item</a></li> etc... I have tried use margin-left: 0px but that still doesn't work. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I need some help. I'm starting out with php and i'm already stressing out. Here's the challenge: I have to make a page that contains 3 radio buttons the radio buttons control which color font you'll like to display on that page the page must reference itself (no outside css stylesheet) I must use the switch function to switch the stylesheet. So far, this is what I have. Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.

I am having trouble making the changes apply to the TD not the TR. How can I do it? Thanks! Is it possible to set up a section of a page to not have the sylings the rest of the page has? e.g. a div? I have a page which has a linked CSS sheet for the template. I also have the content running from a CMS. I want the content from the CMS (from MySQL to not have any of the pages syles enforced onto it. Is this possible? #null { ????? } <div id="null"> CMS CONTENT HERE </div> hi, how do I style a drop box so it is flat not sunk in? Hi all i am currently in the process of playing with "display: table-cell" and such instead of tables and i am wondering how you can get a table-row to span across the table cells below it instead of just the first one? Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me create a new bar similar to that on DeviantArt. I've had a shot at it, but mine shifts when you put the mouse over it and I don't know why. There seems to be enough room for it etc. Here's my homepage so you can see what I mean - http://www.ltheobald.co.uk Here's what I have so far... Code: HTML (cut down version - just one button): <table height="100%" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"> <tr height="34px"> <td class="NavHolder"> <div class="NavButton" onmouseover="this.className = 'NavButtonOver';" onmouseout="this.className = 'NavButton';"> <table class="NavButtonTable"> <tr> <td class="NavButtonPic"> <a href="index.php"><img src="images/home.gif" alt="Home"></a> </td> <td class="NavButtonText"> <a href="index.php">Home</a> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> </table> CSS: .NavHolder { padding: 3px; background-color: #AACCFF; } .NavButton { float: left; } .NavButtonOver { float: left; background-color: #8CAAD4; border: 1px solid black; } .NavButtonTable { padding: 0px 5px; } .NavButtonPic { } .NavButtonText { vertical-align: middle; Font-Size: 11px; } No idea why NavButtonPic is there. I'll remove that later. Anyway, can anyone see from this why the buttons are shifting? Also if anyone can tell me how to get a rounded rectangle border like on DeviantArt (http://www.DeviantArt.com), I'd like to know. Thanks, Lee Could someone please help me work this one out, been at it from last night and still can't figure it out? I have 2 styles, button and tips. I have 5 buttons total and the first 4 are fine as is opening a linked page. I need help to make the last one which uses the tips style to open a mouse-over message to also be displayed with the same button style. Thanks a bunch, the forum won't let me post the text so here is a link to it. lastborns.tripod.com |
