Having Issues with external css linking - html

I just started getting into web design again and was practicing my skills to determine how much I remembered and ran into an issue along the way. the problem is that trying to connect link my external CSS to the HTML document, once I did that I when back to the CSS document and start changing an image's properties and nothing would change. Any help?
HTML
CSS

Goku-img img{
width : 20px
}
you should make sure your css selector matches a given id / class name in your html page. Css selectors are case sensitive.

How to custom style a button from a library?

I'm using a button from a library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/#react-oauth/google I understand this library has a custom button option but this option results in a different response).
I basically like to change the max-width and width to another value (image attached below). May I know is there a way for me to edit these style from CSS?
Thank you! Appreciate any help.
Google adds this button to the dom inside iframe, there are certain props you can style the button
to add with, check prop width on
it's mentioned on #react-oauth/google github README
https://developers.google.com/identity/gsi/web/reference/js-reference#width
So still new myself currently in a full stack boot camp in the react section. It should be possible.
Are you using a external stylesheet or trying to do it using inline?
I was taught to use a external stylesheet
From what I am seeing try changing class name to button.
class='button'
Then in your external stylesheet add
.button {
max-width: 400px;
}
Edit. I see you are using react... So it could be className='button'
Edit:
Hello, thanks for your reply! Hmm... in this case I am not able to
assign a className to div myself as the div is from the library. The
weird class you see above "nsm7Bb..." is not by me. Hence, I was
wondering if there's a way to forcefully override library class style.

Gotcha.
Have you tried !important?
Is that your inline CSS?

Nest an entire CSS to only target a single div [duplicate]

I am creating a mobile simulator that mocks the appearance and functionality of an iPhone (and other devices later) in a web browser, using 100% javascript, HTML5, and CSS, with the simulator fully functional with only client side code.
While trying to accomplish this task with as little modification as necessary to the original app projects themselves to be hosted in the simulator, I am injecting the <script> and <link> tags into the head of the page, then loading the html into a <div> screen.
The problem is that when I load in a new css file, it (obviously) overrides the one I'm using to style the page, and therefor some elements are affected (ex the background changes color).
My question is: Is there any way to limit the "scope" of an external .css file to apply only to objects within the <div> screen? Would it make any difference if instead of me injecting it into the <head> of the page, I inject it into a <style> element in the <div> screen?
UPDATE Support for this feature has been dropped. Please seek other options
Original Post:
You may want to look at scoped styles; see http://css-tricks.com/saving-the-day-with-scoped-css/.
The basic idea is
<div>
<style scoped>
#import "scoped.css";
</style>
</div>
However, you are on the bleeding edge here in terms of browser support. See http://caniuse.com/style-scoped.
One alternative would be to use an iframe.
Simply wrap all you css code inside the selector for parent element, say it's a div with id of foo you'd do the following:
div#foo{
//All your css
}
And convert it as less to css, it will prepend the right selectors. Note that you'll need to take care manually of things like #media queries and so on.
While writing this, the <style scoped> is deprecated by the Chrome team.
As a result I experimented with some approaches and released https://github.com/thgreasi/jquery.scopeLinkTags .
Note: you should only have to use this approach in case that you can't control the imported CSS file. If you can use SASS/LESS/anything to pre-process your CSS, you should prefer that.
A simple way is adding pre-class before all selector in css file.
I find a grunt script can do this:
https://github.com/ericf/grunt-css-selectors
This is how i do it if not using preprocessor in my project. Search for a online preprocessor then load copy paste the css under the parent class/id
.parent{
// copy paste here
}
Example
Find a preprocessor for example https://beautifytools.com/scss-compiler.php works very well for me (I have no affiliation with the given link)
if you are using from a URL add the URL using the load URL button.
Wrap the css code under parent and hit compile then minify.
I had a similar issue and found that Shadow DOM can solve it easily.
let output = d.querySelector('#output')
let shadow = output.attachShadow({
mode: 'closed'
});
shadow.innerHTML = HTMLcontent // HTML content and style injected

Adding a separate CSS file in the body

I have provided a template and it contains many CSS files in head and the body is divided into header ,content and footer portions. I want to add to add bootstrap in order to utilize its grid system for its content part. But when ever I add bootstrap.css in head above or below all the style sheets in <head> content part and footer part renders well but my header portion of the body encounter certain design problems as many of the properties in other css files get overridden by its grid system.
All I want to know is, is there any hack I may be able to use the
bootstrap.css for the content part?
I have also tried linking the bootstrap file in <body> below the <header> and above the content portion(I know its not a good practice.) . but it also causes the similar problems for the header portion.
What you can do is make and download a custom bootstrap version from http://getbootstrap.com/customize/ that contains only the grid system and use that CSS in your web app.
No, you can't. You're going to either have to change your markup and adjust the styles accordingly, or use an ID wrapper and change the styles in your CSS to only target <header> under that specific ID.
You're better off adjusting your styles to fit bootstrap, though.
Try adding !important to the properties that you want to customize in your CSS file.
But the best way I see to solve your issue is modifying the bootstrap.css file adding your configurations and adding !important if necessary

Discrepancies between source and inspected html?

I am editing a HTML website template, and I need to change the banner height so I edited external CSS. However, somehow it is taking an inline CSS height property so there is a space left in between.
Please let me know, if I have not written any inline CSS (and there is no inline CSS in html page), from where is that height property coming from.
Code I see in console is:
<div style="display: block; height: 445px;" id="camera" class="camera-wrap camera_wrap">
And my code is:
<div id="camera" class="camera-wrap">
<div data-src="images/Battery-Banner.jpg">
I have no idea why it is taking class camera_wrap twice.
Usually JS plugins put dynamic css that is calculated during runtime. It will be placed in inline style tag. Otherwise any static code will go to external css file. Try checking how plugin is calculating that height and than modify your HTML/css.
Try viewing the HTML source in your browser (not using inspect element, use view-source). This will show you the markup prior to any other client side processing aka. JavaScript. If the inline style isn't there when you view source then that indicates that it may be a rogue bit of JavaScript that is adding it in.
In any case can you please provide more information on the issue? Possibly a little more background on what type of website, what parts it has CSS, JS etc. With more information we may be able to help more.
If your source is showing 1 class, and when you are using inspect element it is showing other classes, then it is definitely added by js/jquery plugin.
If you want to overwrite other class css properties, either use !important in your class or use deeper dom traversing like #camera.camera-wrap{}. Than this will be given higher priority. Try which works for you.

CSS: HTML height:100% on one page only

Dumb question with a simple answer, I think.
I am building a site that has a completely different layout on one page from the rest. On one page, the design requires a liquid vertical layout, so I need the following code: *{height:100%;}On the other pages I just want the default height.
I tried to add a class to the html tag, which works in the html, but not in the CSS file. I tried:
*.myClass
and
html.myClass
but it doesn't seem to work.
I can't seem to find any info on this online. Is it even possible to add classes to the html tag?
I am using wordpress, so I can easily check to see which page I'm on and add myClass.
I guess I could also use #import to get a different style sheet based on the page I'm on, but that seems like a longwinded way of doing things.
How can I specify height:100% as a value of the html tag on specific pages only?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
J
Perhaps .myClass, .myClass body {height: 100%}?
It is indeed possible to add a class to the <html> tag.
Live Demo (see code)
This will work, because I just applied this in one of my projects earlier today. :)
html,body {
height:100%
}
If you have pages that require the default height, then don't load this css style. You can place it in a separate CSS file.
