So, I'm currently learning #html & #css and I'm on the topic of relational selectors.
In the example, the code below is suppose to display a web page with orange text. The
text is still black even after trying several variations. Can someone help?
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<section id="products">
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit.</p>
</section>
</body>
</html>
styles.css
body {
margin: 10px;
}
#products p {
color: orange;
}
It works just fine,but you have to link the css file using tag
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
You have to connect your CSS file to the HTML by linking to it in the <head>, like so:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" />
(and if the CSS file is in a folder, it will be ./foldername/style.css)
There are three ways you can implement style to HTML documents:
External CSS
Internal CSS
Inline CSS
You could include your style code in the document (Internal CSS). To do so you would need to enclose it in style tags like this:
<style>
body {
margin: 10px;
}
#products p {
color: orange;
}
</style>
Hide that element in your , or at the end of your , and you should be fine. Generally, it's frowned upon to use Internal or Inline CSS, but you can do if you want to!

I have 2 files.
1.index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./main.css">
</head>
<body>
<div>Hello World</div>
</body>
</html>
main.css
div::after{
content: "123";
color: red;
font-size: 20px;
}
When I opened it, it shows like this:
I don't know why 123 is in the wrong place.
You are using live-server which injects additional content, including div elements into the page.
Your CSS select all div elements.
You could change your selector to be more specific (e.g. to select divs that are members of a particular class and then add a matching class attribute to the div you want to select).
I'm very new to website designing an am trying to change the background colour of a button, but for some reason it's not working. Could someone please help?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="widthz=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<script src="application.js"></script>
<h3>Small Header</h3>
<button id="InformationButton">Information</button>
</body>
</html>
styles.css:
.InformationButton {
background-color: aqua;
border : solid;
}
Since you have used id to refer the button in your HTML, you should be using the id selector (#) instead of the class selector(.).
Thus replace your CSS as below.
#InformationButton {
background-color: aqua;
border : solid;
}
Read more about CSS selectors in the docs
You are using a CSS ID selector to refer to your button. Either change the CSS to a class selector :
#InformationButton {
background-color: aqua;
border : solid;
}
or change your button element to
<button class="InformationButton">Information</button>
So I want to style my contact page which has its own file, so when you click on it, it brings you to a whole new page, I already got that I'm Just wondering how do I style that page Inside my style sheets without changing every other page?
i've tried
Inside Html
Inside Css
.stylec {
anything i put in here styles nothing because you cant set the body as a class
}
i havent found any youtube videos for this or anything on google other than
"Yes, It is possible to include one CSS file in another and it can be done multiple times. Also, import multiple CSS files in the main HTML file or in the main CSS file. It can be done by using #import keyword."
I'm Just trying to style my contact page inside my style.css and not styling it inside its html
I just want it all to be inside my styles.css so its neat and clean!
thanks for your time!
You should make on stylesheet of CSS and give styles according to the class names.
example:-
.first_body
{
background-color: lightblue;
}
.second-body
{
background-color: cyan;
}
1st-Html file
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>1st html</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body class="first_body">
</body>
</html>
2nd Html file
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>2nd html</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body class="second_body">
</body>
</html>
You have to assign classes and ids in the html. (You should use an id rather than a class to style the body of a document, since there will only be one per document.)
For instance in your contact.html (or whatever the contact page's file is called) change your body tag to:
<body id="contact-style">
Then in your css file you can assign special styling just for that page using...
body#contact-style {}
You can insert any styles between the curly brackets. To test this, try assigning a background color. If no other elements in your site have a background color, you will see this change right away.
body#contact-style {background-color: red;}
Okay! Your basic HTML document looks like this;
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p class="apple">This is an apple paragraph</p>
<div class="mango">This is a mango paragraph</div>
<h1 id="cat">This is a cat paragraph</h1>
<p class="dog">This is a dog paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
Note:
Inside the <head> tag is where you import your style.css
Use this tag to import <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
The "href" is used to specify the link of your css file
Example of css file:
body{
background-color: blue;
}
h1{
color: orange;
}
.apple{
color: green;
}
.mango{
color: yellow;
}
#cat{
color: beige;
}
#dog{
color: white;
}
Give the different pages an id attribute on the body tag
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body id="home">
....
</body>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body id="contact">
....
</body>
In the style sheet that you link to style.css you can define styles for all pages and redefine the styles you want different on the contact page
h1 {
font-family: serif;
color: blue;
}
#contact h1 {
font-family: sans-serif;
color: tomato;
}
I'm looking to start coding in Atom and I am having trouble getting things started. I can't seem to connect my style.scss to the index.html. This is my html code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<link rel"stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.min.css">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a square</h1>
<div class="square"></div>
</body>
</html>
and this is what I have in my style.scss which when complied makes style.min.css
//Variables
$lightblue: #b8fdfb;
//CSS
.square {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
background-color: $lightblue;
}
This is all that shows up in my local server
You cannot attach SASS to HTML. You first need to compile it first to CSS & then link it to your HTML using <link> tag in the header. Like:
<link rel="stylesheet/css" type="text/css" href="style.min.css" />
You need a preprocessor to convert SASS into CSS. You can use many tools such as Webpack, Prepros, etc.
Have a look at this reference. Hope this helps!
Hello I am so sorry if this is a stupidly simple question but I am extremely new to html and css. The issue is I am trying to just add style to the div classes I have made in html and css seems to not recognize the file.
.main-content {
background-color: red;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<title>Document</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="second.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="site">
<header class="masthead">
</header>
<h1 class="page-title">Hello
</h1>
<main class="main-content">
</main>
<aside class="sidebar">
</aside>
<footer class="footer">
</footer>
</div> <!-- .site -->
</body>
</html>
I have tried on both firefox and chrome so it does not seem to be an issue of using an outdated browser. Also copy and pasting the code into codepen.io also yields the same results. The only way I can style is by selecting general elements such as h1. I've also double checked to make sure first.html and second.css are indeed the correct file names.
Any suggestions as to what I am missing? If its something very simple could I also get some advice so that I don't go about asking a ton of really simple questions like this.
As you don't have content inside your main tag, the styling is not visible. Add some content to it and you will see the styles which you have applied.
And also you mentioned that you want to style your div and I see only one. You can style it as follows using its class name.
.site {
background-color: red;
}
