CSS - Cellspacing "override" With Css?
hi, i'm designing my page and i would like my tables to look similarily as Dev Shed Forums table in the "main menu" (the starting page).
i cannot find out how this is done: the first table row uses cellspacing, the second row doesn't use it and the third row uses it again. (where 1st row is where "Forum,Last Post,Threads,Posts" is written, 2nd with "Programming Languages" and 3rd with "PHP Development") well, maybe it's not done this way at all (i tried to decode the HTML code but it was too complicated for me), but i would like to ask if it can be done somehow this way (eg: to define a table with cellspacing and then override this setting in one specific row with some CSS rule) or i have to use more tables to achieve this effect? it came in to my mind when i saw something similar in the Dev Shed Forum's HTML code: Code: <td style="padding: 0px;"> is there something similar which influences cellspacing? thank you Similar Tutorialswhat is the equivilant to <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> in css? i've tried PHP Code: table { border-spacing: 0px; padding: 0px; border-colapse: colapse; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; } td { border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; padding: 2px; } That makes the width 2px wide though. I want it to only be one. And the padding seems to be messed up as well. I'm taking over a departmental web page that has a whole bunch of Code: <body topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0"> in the web pages. Does anyone know how to put this in a stylesheet so that I don't have to put this code in every <body> tag when I create a new page? I've searched all over and can't find a reasonable resolution. Thanks Is there a way to override CSS padding to use cellpadding instead or can inheritance be prevented? I have a CMS and I want editors to still be able to use the cellpadding attribute rather than make a class for each desired padding. I am not able to set a defining ID or class on the table as it's generated with our CMS. The relevant tables are contained in a defined parent class. Code: TD{ padding: 0px; } .custom TD{ /*padding: ignore;*/ } Code: <span class="custom"> <table cellpadding="5"> ... </table> <span> I'm using the CakePHP framework to build my site. I hope I'm not asking an impossible question and being since I'm new an all.. Anyways I finished a simple design well I thought it was simple anyway until I tried to make the content box to be a fluid width. Here's what it's supposed to look like. http://planet-rpg(dot)com/PR_style.png // yes I know I'm a new user..

Hope someone can help me with my question. http://stuweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~as234/full/full.htm some problems: in IE the menu at the top is "block" level but i want it to be in a line? whereas in ff its ok! in ff, one of the menu image (called "main" on the left of review) doesnt appear but if u hover over it, u will see the rollover image! the background colour should be grayish however that DOESNT happen! (I originally posted this at the end of another of my topics but I don't think it was seen). I have just noticed this problem in firefox (may happen in other browsers) but I couldnt make it happen in IE6. After the first load of the page or after a "hard refresh" (ctrl + F5) the middle and right column do not "shift up" and leave a gap. (see attached picture). But if I refresh (just F5) firefox shifts them up to display the page as it should be seen. Example Picture The site itself. Any ideas? Hi guys, For a pure CSS site, is it still necessary to have height="82" and width="82" in <img ... /> ? Moreover, is it depreciated to have a size="25" tag in <input elements? (I know it could ba handled in CSS but nice to have directly in the html). Thank you Hi, I'm trying to build a nav using css, I need to style each <li> within the nav becuase they need to be different lengths on the page. I have had it working fine on IE but I can'#t get it working for for any other browser. Does soneone know how I can style each of my list items accordingly, notice the different block lengths for each one which is very important. I have tried both id="Style" and class="Style" and no joy, I have also tried #nav ul li li li li li a:hover in my style without id or class in my HTML Here is my Html PHP Code: <DIV id="nav"> <ul> <li id="1"><a href="Home">Home</a></li> <li id="2"><a href="About-us">About us</a></li> <li id="3"><a href="FlexNews">FlexNews</A></li> <li id="4"><a href="Careers">Careers</A></li> <li id="5"><a href="Contact">Contact</A></li> </ul> </div> Pretty straight forward, now my css PHP Code: #nav { width:1005px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; } #nav ul { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; } #nav li { float: left; text-align: left; } #1 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #1 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 215px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a{ line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #2 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #3 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 211px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #4 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 184px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; border-right-width: 2px; border-right-style: solid; border-right-color: #FFFFFF; } #5 a { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-indent: 17px; } #5 a:hover { line-height: 20px; float: left; width: 183px; display: block; color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; text-align: left; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; background-color: #33A02C; text-indent: 17px; } Here is an exmple link http://dev.121design.co.uk/flextrade2/ Works fine in IE but not in Firefox, heres hopling someone can help. Thanks in Advance, tried so many different methods and none seem to work. Cheers, Stuart that is basically the question. I have a main div, where content will dynamically be placed, so it will change height frequently. However, It has rounded corners, so either side of it I have 3 images, 2 of which are the corners, and one is a repeating y image. If i set a fixed size for the containing div's height(<div id="submaincontainer">), everything will jump to that.(everything else is set to inherit) However, if it's height is set to auto (which is really what I want) everything will be 1px tall. (URL address blocked: See forum rules)/cv/cv.html This is my first project with trying to strictly use div tags and CSS rather than a table. A table seems like it would be incredibly easier. Anyone know how to make this work? Is there by chance a feature of MS Front Page that helps us out by changing height and width attributes to upper case, which CSS does not recognize? If so, is there a way to disable this feature? What is the popular alternative (among those in the know) to MS FP? The "normal-html-preview" screen format in FP is great. Or, can we simply get rid of the height and width calls in "img src=" links? Thank you for any attention to this. Ed I have a very simple question: I have this html code: Code: <div id="text"> <p><a>text</a></p> <p><a class="red">text</a></p> <p><a>text</a></p> </div> And this CSS style: Code: .red { color: red; } #text a{ color: blue; } I would like to apply the .red class, but it does not work, because the #text a overrides it. How can I solve that? It is just an example because it is a cause of a problem generated by a CMS, and I can only play with the CSS, not with the HTML side. Hi guys! Let's say I have this IN BODY directly: Code: <div id="top_section"> ... </div> <ul id="menu"> ... </ul> Or should I do it like this: Code: <div id="top_section"> ... </div> <div id="menu"> <ul> ... </ul> </div> UL and DIV are both block elements so I think the first is acceptable (combining block elements whatever their sort is logical or am I completely wrong here??) Thank you 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! I am using the following code. In firefox the input box (including the border) fits a nice box of 83 by 15. In IE it seems to not be so well, and is bothering things near it. Any ideas on how to rectify this? Code: <td><input type="text" class="loginbox" size="13" /></td> .loginbox { border: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #9AA8C3; padding: 0; margin: 0; text-decoration: none; font-size: 11px; color: #40668C; } http://cheers-sendai.com/fluidframe.htm has a great and simple example of 3 cols (OK, 2 cols in the middle section makes "4 cols"), header and sticky footer, where the middle col has overflow:auto so it can be scrolled. GREAT example, I think (due to the use of bg colors, etc.). The left/right/width values of the divs are manipulated so that the middle section runs from 10% to 90% and the left/right divs fill in accordingly. I'd like to be able to set, for example, the left and right divs to be 150 px wide (NO percentages!) and have the middle section stretch between them (regardless of viewport width) and be able to be scrolled, too. The problem I see is that most examples use percentages. I can set the left div to be a fixed width, then set the middle section left coord. to be, say, 150px, but then I need to set its width to stretch to "150 to the left of the right side of the viewport" and I don't know how to do this. Thanks. Hello! Im Using Joomla to build my website. Im using a module and im changing the css styling. There only one problem im having. The tabs on the module align to the left and because i dnt have enough tabs to fill out the space it leave a blank space on the right.

The makers of the module say any question on customization will be ignored that why i post this question here to see if i could get some help. Its "Tabs Manager GK3" from Gavick Heres the CSS. Can any1 just make the changes for me please and post it below Thanks in advance!

I was just wondering really if anyone else has used this method and gone to the extreme measure if replacing all <img> tags with css background images to dramatically improve their page load speeds? So for example... before Code: <img src="my_thumbnail.jpg" alt="Thumbnail Graphic" title="Thumbnail Graphic" width="100" height="70" /> after Code: .thumb { background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 100px; height: 70px; } <div class="thumb" style="backgound-image: url('my_thumbnail.jpg");"></div> Just an idea really, not sure on how standard compliant it is but I might test it out later to see what speed improvements it brings. I'd be very interested in anyones thoughts It's the effect where you click on a link or a button and a new bit of content appears, pushing down everything below it. Clicking it again makes that content disappear and all the original text move back up. Google uses it in a number of places, notably at the bottom of any search result. At the very bottom, below the "Goooogle" page number thing, there's a little plus sign to the left of "Add a result". Clicking that makes new content appear. I see it in a lot of places and I love the effect! I don't know if its Ajax or CSS or whatever, so I don't know how to properly search for a tutorial, but could anyone point me in the right direction? |
