I’ve been using cf7 for a while now and I must say, good job!
At the moment the problem I’m experiencing is that any text I insert using Divi builder just vanishes and although the I-beam cursor still shows when going over the text I cant seem to find out the reason why the text doesn’t show (the text is located in the middle of the screen on the background image).
I’ve inspected suspected elements and found no luck within the css of both cf7 and divi.
I’ve removed and inserted the shortcode and the problem definitely resides within cf7
Any idea what the cause of this could be?
More information would be helpful. There might be a conflict between CF7 and Divi but that's not likely the case. Elegant Themes recognizes that CF7 is a super popular plugin and even wrote a blog post about how to style it.
Are you using a child theme? Did you make any customizations to your CSS, functions file, etc? Without being able to see the code it's much tougher to troubleshoot, even a screenshot would be better.

It has been brought to my attention that a website I'm helping out with sometimes has problems with span elements being injected. Those spans will break the whitespaces and make the text hard to read. Those spans look something like this:
<span data-contrast="auto">words</span>
<span data-contrast="auto">,</span>
<span data-contrast="auto">b</span>
<span data-contrast="auto">ut</span>
<span data-contrast="auto">sometimes also only single chars</span>
The website is run with/by WordPress, but that does not seem to be the cause because the affected posts look fine and show no sign of this markup in the post editor or database.
Also, those spans only seem to occur at nighttime. I tried to nail that down, but as so often, I couldn't really verify it yet, as it did not occur again to me, not even at night. Right now everything is fine and none of these spans are present.
I'm guessing it has got something to do with night-mode in browsers (although behaviour was the same in Edge and Firefox) or the night-mode in Windows but then on the other hand I haven't noticed this on any other page yet.
So, this is somewhat strange and hard to nail down, but you'll find copied texts that contain the same markup, when you use a search engine and search for "data-contrast span". So, at least I'm not the only one with this problem.
Any ideas how to nail this down and find out what causes it?
Browser plug-ins are usually given permission to modify page source at run time. I would guess the culprit is a cross-browser extension like Night Eye or Dark Reader.
In general, adding a <span> shouldn't mess with your layout unless your CSS is changing span properties away from the browser defaults.
Option 1
You might be able to fix the issue by adding CSS to control how the layout looks:
span[data-contrast="auto"] {...}
That will select all spans that have that data attribute. Then add styling to counteract the layout issues you see. That said, since the extension is adding the code after the page renders, it may override whatever you do.
Option 2
A better solution would be to create your own dark mode. Most plugins/OS night modes won't mess with your code if you provide your own theme options. A "dark" theme is the 2020 version of being mobile responsive; you should provide it in your code or live with the consequences when users, browser makers, and operating systems make their own decisions.
If you need help creating an alternate theme, CSS Tricks has a good write up.
Since it's not clear what software they are copying from, I've personally experienced this when copying from a Word Doc that's been opened in Microsoft Teams or in SharePoint, and then pasting directly into a website's editor (our site uses the TinyMCE text editor, a commonly utilized free text editor).
My recommendation: copy directly from the desktop version of Word, then paste into the editor and that prevents the "data-contrast" spans.
I assume there must be some hidden spans in non-desktop versions of Word Docs that they add to ensure the document displays the same way as the desktop version. The text editor doesn't know what to do with it, so it strips out everything, but the "data-contrast" portion.
Hope this helps someone out there as the original post was as asked some time ago.
One of my clients has been encountering this issue when she goes onto the app. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to get it to show normally? Im not sure if this is a code issue or her computer.
Everything is getting bunched together
Edit: I did not provide the code because it is very lengthy and I feel like there could be another answer that isn't linked to my code since it is only happening to that computer.
There really isn't a lot to go off of this. It could be as simple as changing the width of the input tag which would take almost no time to fix. If you're using bootstrap or some other framework maybe a class name is messed up somewhere in the html. It would be a lot easier to pinpoint what exactly the problem is if there were code to go along with it. Also there could be no problem with the code and could just simply be her machine, but there is still no way to figure that out without looking over it.
Hi all,
I have been working on this website here through the Weebly editor. I studied Web Development 10 years ago and have only been getting back into it for this job, hence the use of Weebly, hoping to make things easier for myself and for my employer to take over the site when everything is working well. I have been having a problem with links not performing correctly in Chrome and Edge, working fine in Firefox and Safari. I have been looking for the past 3 days now and tried a whole bunch of things without success.
I have built pages more like the main menus being one page and the submenus links to anchors within that page.
With the way Weebly works, I didn't see a way of adding an "id" attribute to any "Title" or "Text" element you use to struture your content. So I started with the fallowing sample code, interjected where needed:
<a name="anchor-name"></a>
I was just placing an "embed HTML" element a little above where I wanted the link to land to compensate for the menu always being at the top. This simple solution works fine with Firefox and Safari. But for some reason, with Microsoft Edge does not take me to the anchor, just stays at the top of page; using Chrome, it doesn't work properly when opening the link from an outside source, link from email or doing a right click and "open link in new tab", it jumps further than intented but works fine once you're on the site and go through the different sub-menus. Very puzzling...
In my research, I came across people with similar problems, never really the same. But I tried this more elegant way, creating a CSS class with the negative top to compensate for menu and changing display to "inline-block", some saying it corrected there problem with IE. No luck for me, Firefox still working fine though.
.nav-anchor{
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
top: -150px;
visibility: hidden;
}
I came also across someone saying to check for errors with the W3.org validator, see result here. The first error is :
Error: X-UA-Compatible HTTP header must have the value IE=edge, was
IE=edge,chrome=1.
I couldn't figure out how or where to change that, I looked through the Weebly editor > Theme editor in all the files and didn't see it anywhere. So not sure if I can add it someplace, or if the Weebly just includes that part for you. Any idea if that's is on the path of solving my problem?
I haven't taken the time to go through all the errors, can the errors make the links not perform correctly?
The answer here (thank you Jeffrey Kastner) did help some what with Chrome, Right-click > "Open in new tab" on a submenu link now sometimes takes me to the right spot, sometimes jumps too far down. I tried over and over with the same link, seemed random. I haven't got feedback from client using IE.
Thank you in advance for any help
(edit:greetings and thank you note disappeared on first post for some reason)
The short answer for your question is you'll want to add meta tags with those in your site's theme within the various types of header template files.
In the majority of themes I have seen used on sites at Weebly, the following "Header Type" files are in the theme editor, and you would need to add the following to each of those as children to the head tag:
header.html
no-header.html
splash.html
(of course, your list may be different depending upon the theme you're using on your site).
The meta-tag HTML code you need to include as a child to your head tag would be:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1">
The chrome=1 part is usually no longer required since the Chrome-frame was discontinued in 2014, but many people still include it as part. What is happening is you're instructing Internet Explorer to operate in "standards" (the latest rendering engine). The full answer to what this tag does with this setting is available in more comprehensible detail in this stackoverflow question.
I'm not sure if this will completely resolve the issue of your links not operating as expected, since there are many things which can intercept or interrupt the event bubbling process which occurs such as: javascript, frameworks, CSS issues, and many more things. If you were to provide some more concrete information and code examples with errors about what you're seeing, I might be able to help further.
Also, you may want to search in the Weebly Help Center and Knowledgebase, consider asking this question in the Weebly Developer Community or for a more personal engagement, by creating a Weebly Support Case.
For a big site renovation project I am looking for a way to find all elements in a website to which a certain css rule applies. This site has been extended for 6+ years, so CSS rules are not systematic/logical at all.
For example: I want to know on which pages form input[type='text']{} is mentioned on the entire site.
I cannot do this with a simple 'find text' search, because there are a LOT of CSS rules that are specifically set to a certain element (e.g. #login form input{} or form textarea.forminput_small{}), so there probably is quite some overlap. Furthermore there are a LOT of pages, so I really don't want to do this manually.
My desired output would be:
input[type='text']{} is on: /index.html, /search.html, /contact/form.php etc
For me a solution like a browser plugin, external website tool or PHP script would be fine.
Hope someone has a nice solution for this problem!
Edit 9 August 2018: digging up an old thread. However, still not found a good solution, but I did find the element-finder plugin for Atom. Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore. The GIF image in the description shows what the purpose of this plugin (i.e. my question) is. Any ideas for an alternative?
I'm a novice web designer and I am trying to design a pop up div contact for/box. I've been researching for an entire week, longer really, on how to create a pop up div with a modal layer. My website hosting doesn't allow for in-depth HTML, CSS and JS customization, so while I've discovered what appeared to be good plugins/templates, I can't really use them because of my limited access. (At least, they didn't work when I did try to use some of them.) All I can really customize is the section of my webpages and then I can add HTML snippets to the page. Everything else I have to jimmy-rig into these two areas; very limiting as you imagine.
I finally found some code I could use though, and after learning some CSS and javascript, I was able to successfully create my pop up div contact form/box. I figured out that I had to put the CSS and JS in the section and then add the simple div for pop up modal purposes to the page via the HTML tool from my host's website building application.
But there are issues. I discovered the code I discovered and adapted to my site isn't that great. There something going on with the formatting that prevents the modal opacity layer from being the correct size (and I have tried everything I could think of to fix it, but to no avail). Also, the way my pop up div is centered just doesn't seem 100% right. It "functions", but I want it to function appropriately. The other issue is compatibility between browsers. I've been designing my website and checking my progress in Chrome, and it works fine. But it gets mangled on IE8 and Firefox.
Well, after this very short glimpse at success, I started researching for a final solution. Using Chrome's developer tools, I was able to track down various elements of functioning modal popups on websites other than my own and stumbled upon SimpleModal, which happens to be the nifty little modal popup tool that my web hosting company uses. However, I've been unable to install it correctly using the demo code of SimpleModal.
SO COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO INSTALL SIMPLEMODAL? And if necessary, I can post the code from my website in a comment (as much as I can fit at a time at least; there seems to be a limit...) and someone can see firsthand my troubles if that helps?....THANKS!

You should look deeper into the inability to use Javascript. Which host are you using?
If you do find that you are able to use js, then, instead of going around, getting plugins from everywhere, and creating a mess in your DOM, you should start your projects using a boilerplate.
Check out http://www.initializr.com/ and use the bootstrap option. This will set you up with LESS stylesheets and incorporate Twitter Bootstrap which will do exactly what you want with your modal.
Once you have your page setup, using bootstrap you should be able to turn any div into a modal in your script.js file by calling the modal method on it (from bootstrap)
$('#myModal').modal(options)
You can find the bootstrap documentation here http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap
hope it helps!
