my website scraped information from ebay products and for the description of the product I get all html. Product description has inline styles and when I open the description of the product in my website, products css ovewrite my css
Normal:
And after I opened the product description
Here is anchor style from developer tool
So I need any idea how to separete ebay product css with my css.
One of the methods that I think is to add !important to all my styles, but I don't think this solution is elegant and I want something else. So If you have any suggestion how to solve my issue I will appreciate them.
Perhaps you need to update your css to be more specific with it's selector, for example if you have a HTML structure which diferentiate the container of the Product Description from eBay like this
.leftbar {
float: left;
width: 20%;
background: #ccc;
}
a { /*think of this as default link style*/
color: black;
}
#main div:not(.product-desc) a { /*more specific selector*/
display: block;
color: red;
}
a { /*this one is from eBay*/
color: green;
}
<div id='main'>
<div class='leftbar'>
<a>Hello</a>
<a>World</a>
</div>
<div class='product-desc'>
<a>Description</a>
<a>Product</a>
</div>
</div>
You can use a :not selector to define your main style so it won't be disrupted by the eBay style
The more specific your selector is, then your style will be used. But if your selector is the same, then the last rule from top bottom will be applied. So in the above example, the link inside product-desc color is set to green not black
create a custom inline CSS property that you desire in the element to overwrite the default CSS. here is how you create inline CSS for overwriting anchor properties.
Here how you do:
create the icons/text of anchor inside a element and give inline CSS
<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank">
<span style="color: #ffffff !important;" >icons</span>
</a>
A quick test in Chrome shows that the
a:visited * { ... !important}
does override the inline style, but adding the !important back to the span works fine.
<span style="color: #ffffff !important;" >

Overwriting visited in anchor
Blockquote
If you want to remove all exist style and reset it to default you can use:
all: initial;

I have some components which use the mat-tab elements in the HTML. When trying to style these elements in the CSS, I am only able to style them using ::ng-deep .mat-tab-label {} for example, and putting !important next to at least one of the style changes. I do not want to leave this in the application long-term, especially after reading this article.
Here is how it breaks down looking at the elements in developer tools:
<mat-card class="mat-card">
<mat-tab-group class="mat-tab-group mat-primary">
<mat-tab-header class="mat-tab-header">
<div class="mat-tab-header-pagination mat-tab-header-pagination-before mat-elevation-z4 mat-ripple mat-tab-header-pagination-disabled>
<div class="mat-tab-label-container">
<div class="mat-tab-list">
<div class="mat-tab-labels">
<div class="mat-tab-label mat-ripple mat-tab-label-active ng-star-inserted">
<mat-ink-bar class="mat-ink-bar">
What can I do in order to style these elements without using ::ng-deep and !important in the CSS?
What can I do in order to style these elements without using ::ng-deep
and !important in the CSS?
In this case the solution that you can do is to use Selector specificity and then put your style in the root style /src/styles.css
(NOTE: that don't put it in the components styleUrls your style will not work)
/* label style */
.mat-tab-label{
background: green;
color:white;
}
/* focus style */
.mat-tab-group.mat-primary .mat-tab-label:not(.mat-tab-disabled):focus, .mat-tab-group.mat-primary .mat-tab-link:not(.mat-tab-disabled):focus, .mat-tab-nav-bar.mat-primary .mat-tab-label:not(.mat-tab-disabled):focus, .mat-tab-nav-bar.mat-primary .mat-tab-link:not(.mat-tab-disabled):focus{
background: red;
}
/* ink bar style */
.mat-tab-group.mat-primary .mat-ink-bar, .mat-tab-nav-bar.mat-primary .mat-ink-bar{
background: yellow;
height: 10px;
}

Hope this helps.
I have defined this hover for div element
div.MyCSSClass:hover
{
background-color: purple;
}
This is my HTML source:
<div class="
<ul class="MyParentCSSClass">
<li>
<div>
<div>
<div class="MyCSSClass">
<!-- I want to remove CSS hover for this div element -->
I want to remove the hover when the div.MyCSSClass is a child of MyParentCSSClass, So I add this to remove the hover style in CSS:
.MyParentCSSClass div.MyCSSClass:hover
{
}
But it did not work. I still see the same hover style.
Is there a way to remove hover in CSS without me creating a new CSS class for my div tag? I want to keep the same name as I have other CSS property uses the 'MyCSSClass'.
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried
background-color: none !important;
But when I look into chrome, that CSS is being over-written by
.MyGrandParentClass div.MyCSSClass:hover
{
background-color: purple;
}
and the html source is
<div class="MyGrandParent">
<ul class="MyParentCSSClass">
<li>
<div>
<div>
<div class="MyCSSClass">
<!-- I want to remove CSS hover for this div element -->
My question is how my 'Remove hover' css rule is being over-written? I have put "!important" to my rule.
.MyParentCSSClass div.MyCSSClass:hover {
background-color: none;
}
This will overwrite the background color given by div.MyCSSClass:hover. if you are keeping MyParentCSSClass div.MyCSSClass:hover empty as MyParentCSSClass div.MyCSSClass:hover {}, it will not overwrite anything or doing nothing actually.
You need to re-write all the previously added styles to the hover event. In the case you specified, please do the following:
.MyParentCSSClass div.MyCSSClass:hover
{
background-color: none;
}
Background-color : none; is not w3c standard. It will work on some browser but according to w3c standard it's not right way.
So try to use background-color: transparent which will work good on all browsers and w3c can validate your code.
Have fun.
I have something like this
<div class="text-holder">
<h2>this is text-holder</h2>
<p>this is text</p>
</div>
<a href="#" class="ignore">
<div class="text-holder">
<h2>this is text-holder</h2>
<p>this is text</p>
</div>
</a>
<a href="#">
<div class="text-holder">
<h2>this is text-holder</h2>
<p>this is text</p>
</div>
</a>
And CSS that does this
.text-holder {
color: green;
}
a {
color: red;
other css
}
.ignore {
other css
}
Is there a way that the link can ignore the css style for the global a style, and just use the ignore? I don't want to use !important because there will be other instances of text-holder that will want to use the global a style.
EDIT
Thanks for all the replies, but let me be a little more clear so hopefully you understand better. (Not the best at explaining)
The problem is text-holder has it's text styling from global p, h2 and etc. Which are above a in the hierarchy of the stylesheet. so p, h2, a, .ignore, .text-holder etc
a has a lot of info on it, hover, visited, focus, color, font-weight and etc. Now for all the divs I wanted to ignore this info I was looking to see if there was a simpler way of just creating an ignore rule, rather than for all the divs I want to ignore it to overwrite them with all the rewritten information.
CSS doesn't support "ignoring", but part of its nature (the Cascading part of Cascading Style Sheets) supports "overwriting"; Newer CSS properties will overwrite older CSS properties of the same name, so you just need to give .ignore a different color value than your previous a selector's color value.
Is there a way that the link can ignore the css style for the global a style, and just use the ignore?
No. If a selector matches then all applicable rules in it will be applied.
.ignore is at least as specific as all preceding rules, so you just need to set the properties you want to override to the desired value.
Yes, basically what you're trying to do is already how CSS works.
The key to understand is the concept of specificity.
CSS rules applied through the style="" attribute have a weight of 1000.
Rules applied against an #id selector have a weight of 100.
Rules applied against a .class selector have a weight of 10.
And rules applied against an element tag name or :pseudo-selector get a weight of 1.
So for example, if you have...
a { color: red; }
.ignore { color: black; }
The weight of the red links is 1, while the weight of black text is 10, so the black has higher specificity and would win.
The important concept is that .ignore doesn't tell it to ignore its old assignment, it is instead a way to override the assignment.
EDIT
I should also add that cascading rules have no weight, so any definition in a child element will override them.
For example:
a { color: red; }
.ignore { color: black; }
div { color: blue; }
<a class="ignore"><div>hello world</div></a>
The text will be blue, not black, because the div tag has a rule applied to it which overrides the cascading black from the .ignore class.
You can try:
:not(.ignore) .text-holder {
color: green;
}
Or if you move your ignore class to .text-holder element
.text-holder:not(.ignore) {
color: green;
}
I'm trying to place a link in Wordpress quickly and we have a pretty complex style being applied to all a href links in the section. Here's a small sample of the selector and the styles within (there's about 40 lines of styles which I held back)
div.content-rotator li.featured-content a {
margin: 0px;
border: 1px solid rgb(34,56,19);
}
Is there anyway I can place a link in this li and override the parent style? It has to appear within the li with class featured-content.
I don't want to touch the existing CSS at this stage so I'd prefer to implement inline styles on the a element.
Thanks
EDIT: Just in case it wasn't clear, the CSS above is coming from the style sheet and I'd like to zero it out.
There's > 50 lines of styles in this though, I've only shown two for brevity so inline replacing them all isn't really an option.
Just use inline styles or/and add !important to overriden CSS definition, like:
<div class="content-rotator">
<ul>
<li class="featured-content">
...
</li>
</ul>
</div>
or
div.content-rotator li.featured-content a.other {
margin: 3px !important;
border: none !important;
}
Give the selected link an ID and just add !important to the styles. I don't think there is a better alternative unless you plan to go through the entire stylesheet.
I began to learn html'n'css, but I've encountered one thing that I cannot explain. I have a html file, that has a div which acts like a link (in the application I am setting the div size and want for the whole box to act like a link). I cannot remove the text underline decoration for the text in the div though (Link1 in the Example is always underlined). The selector should be "any div within a link element", and because the link is red, I think it is correct.
I managed to do this by introducing a special class for removing the underline explicitly (Link2 in the Example is ok), but I would like to have all the menu styles in one place.
The question is, whether can someone explain why the removing deco like this (Link1) does not work. Moreover, I would like to ask if the organization of the menu is a good style, or if I should reorganize the code, e.g: having this for example:
<div>Blabla</div>
and the style:
a.menuitem {...}
a.menuitem div {width:...;}
Here is the minimal (non-)working Example:
<html>
<head>
<style>
a div.menuitem {
text-decoration: none;
color: red;
}
.remove-under {
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="./index.html">
<div class="menuitem">Link1</div>
</a>
<a href="./index.html" class="remove-under">
<div class="menuitem">Link2</div>
</a>
</body>
</html>
Thanks a lot!
Semantically speaking a <div> should not go inside an <a>. div tags are block elements where anchor tags are inline elements - and block elements should never go inside inline elements. Instead use <span> if you need to stylize something different inline but in your case, additionally, you can add a class to the <a> which would work better.
Here is your new code:
<a href="./index.html" class="menuitem">
Link1
</a>
<a href="./index.html" class="remove-under menuitem">
Link2
</a>
You can have multiple classes to an element by putting a space, so Link2 has the class "remove-under" and "menuitem"
Update your CSS to remove the underline:
.remove-under {
text-decoration:none;
}
In order to get your whole a tag to be a link (not just the text) add the follow css for your menuitem class:
.menuitem {
display:block;
width: 100px;
height: 50px; /* or whatever your desired width and height */
background: red; /* to show that the whole anchor will be link, not just text */
}
This is not the ideal solution. You really should not be putting block level elements inside inline elements.
However, if you absolutely must get it working, you can add display: inline-block; to the div.
a div.menuitem {
text-decoration: none;
color: red;
display: inline-block;
width:100%;
}
.remove-under {
text-decoration: none;
}
You have 2 problems here:
You can't do something like this
<div></div>
because a is an inline element. What you do here is an invalid HTML code. DO it like this:
<div></div>
You try to apply text-decoration:none on the div element and you should apply it to the a element.
a {text-decoration:none;}
