I have added a HTMLDelegate to a QTreeView instance I'm tinkering with (see How to make item view render rich (html) text in Qt), so I can present its contents with rather simple rich text (HTML). The hits are presented as
<headerstyle>result type</headerstyle><br>
%d results of this type
where "headerstyle" is either a single tag (say ) or a combination of such tags.
That I'd like is to add underlining to the 1st line that spans the entire width of the QTreeView. Checking existing suggestions on here make it seem doubtful that this will be possible, but maybe I'm overlooking something?
I tried adding <span style="border-bottom: 1px solid"> but no borders are ever drawn. That may be a limitation in the HTMLDelegate, but it probably wouldn't work anyway. does work but only applies to the actual text, not the entire first line. I guess what I'd need is a right-aligning tab character...?
Current actual code: https://github.com/RJVB/audacious-plugins/blob/RJVB-MP-Qt/src/search-tool-qt/search-tool-qt.cc#L166

I need to perform a full PDF print of a website with a populated questionnaire. It's accessed via Chrome, but some fields contain extensive answers and they are partially cut as they do not fit within the line. The text can be extracted via copying, but it's not fully visible in a print (I'm sorry, I cannot provide a full picture).
To make the full contents visible in the print, I would like to break it into several lines. I heard that it could be done by adding the "word-wrap: break-word" or "overflow-wrap: break-word" properties, bit it appears that it's an Input field and, from what I heard, such fields are not breakable and I would need to change it to Textarea.
However, when I change the field type to Textarea, the contents of the field disappear.
Is there any relatively simple way to somehow make this field breakable and show full text which was previously provided as an input?
textarea does not have a title attribute. That's why the text disapears. Try to insert the text like this: <textarea>Text should be here</textarea>.
Weather.com is the only example I know of that is doing this, showing a dashed red line under misspelled text instead of squiggles. This is on Chrome in Windows 7
What I'd like to replicate
Any ideas on how this is done? Unfortunately going to inspector clears text from the field.
What most sites show
This turns out to not be a style, but rather an effect of a precisely sized text box/precisely tuned line height. The squiggle is 2px tall, but the bottom 1px was cut off, giving it the appearance of a dashed line, but in fact it is not.
This method can be used to replicate the effect shown IF you are using a font where the letters that extend below the baseline don't go so far down that they touch the spellcheck squiggle.
It seems possible to move the squiggle independently of the text, which could possibly present a way to do emulate this style with any font.
If I find a way to do this, I will update further.
This is a browser feature that can be achieved (at least in Webkit/Blink) on input fields and contentEditable elements with spellcheck="true". Not every browser will implement it the same way. For that, you would have to build the text markers yourself in conjunction with a dictionary service (like Google Docs does, as one example).
https://jsfiddle.net/bn7pfyf3/
(change the "true"s to "false"s and you won't see any highlights on focus)
In Webkit/Blink, this is a DocumentMarker type (which is used for Ctrl+F, highlights, typos in input fields, and more). They are not exposed in the DOM or CSS.

Here's the case: I have a series of thumbnails in a page, and I would like to display several keywords over each image when the user hovers with the cursor. Each of those keywords are anchor tags that point to a search query. And each thumbnail (the image) should also be clickable (through the empty spaces that the keywords leave) and point to a specific page.
I have everything already coded, I'm just missing a way to display the keyword anchors over the image anchors. I already tried with an onclick="window.location.href=..." but when the user clicks the keyword, the onclick is also triggered (for instance: if I ctrl+click on a keyword, i get the keyword search on a different window, but the main window content changes as well).
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!
This is quite common and can definitely be done with plain HTML and CSS. You can also do it with JavaScript, but I prefer to avoid doing so if possible.
This example is perfectly valid HTML/CSS and should have no weird browser rendering issues (even as far back as IE 6).
http://jsfiddle.net/2JD76/1/
Basically you have a containing element, in this case a div, which has your linked thumbnail and linked keywords. They're hidden by default and only shown when the containing div is hovered.
The linked thumbnail is absolutely positioned so that it's taken out of the page flow which then allows the linked keywords to appear on top. I then use z-indexes to make sure that the keywords are always on a layer that is higher than that of the linked thumbnail.
You can not. It is illegal html.
Attach a click handler that changes the current location instead of the "greater ".
I was going to answer with a long reply but, well check out my Jsfiddle here. I was trying to solve something before and well...check it out.
http://jsfiddle.net/somdow/KSt6a/
If you look at the code, its doing exactly what you are describing.
On my Jsfiddle, theres a div box with space for an image(this is wher YOUR image would go), The image is on the code but not on the jsfiddle so youll see the alt tag....Anyways so, on mouse-over, it brings up another div with text dynamically created inside of it.
All you have to do is replace the image content with your own image, then Insert the links/keywords links you want into this line
.prepend('<div class="portSecRollOver"><div class="portSecInner"></div></div>');
and stick your words in between the <div class="portSecInner"> **YOUR WORDS HERE** </div> line
And change the CSS to fit your needs.
oh AND ps, DELETE this line (below) which is the one that dynamically appends text inside of "portSecInner", since your going to insert your own words, then you dont need this line.
$(this).find('.portSecInner').html("<h3 class='h34roll'>" + $(this).find('img').attr("alt") + "</h3>");
I'm new on this particular project, and I've been tasked with resolving an issue that's appearing in IE8.
If you check http://funds.ft.com/ETFHomepage.aspx, There's a section called "News". In that section, there's a column called "Most Popular ETFs". This should be the same width as the "Recently Viewed ETFs" column.
For reference, this page is appearing correctly in Firefox. Can somebody please point out what I can do with CSS or (some other means)* to resolve this?
*I know the best way to resolve this issue is to scrap the terrible design and implement it correctly!! :-) -- we're actually doing that right now. It's a big job, so it's taking a long time. In the mean time however, we have to fix the bugs as they appear. Thanks
Update: just to note what I've said to Hristo, "I think the problem is with the table (rather, nested tables) on the left. The table in the center has its width defined by the image, and the table on the right doesn't have an image so it gets crushed"
Well the reason this is happening is because of the url you have under the "Alphaville: Overcoming the Volcker rule, with ETFs" header. Since the url has no whitespace in it, the table tries to give it space. So there are a couple of ways to fix this problem:
Plain text urls aren't very becoming on a webpage (especially when they're not in anchor tags so you can click on them.) Could you update the content so that you don't have a raw url in your content?
If you must be able to handle long lines of text with no whitespace then you need to figure out how to change the layout of the page so it forces the text to either wrap or clip to fit the container. Try playing around with putting "table-layout: fixed" on your tables to force the column widths to be sized based on the table's specifications only (instead of content). Firefox seems to be wrapping on dashes and slashes in the url whereas IE only wants to wrap on the dashes in the url.
I would say your layout is fine, and you just need to fix the content generation so it doesn't include any long plain text urls (option 1 above)
EDIT: If you do decide to go with option 2 above, then look into the css rule "word-break: break-all". It is IE only and it forces the text to break as soon as it reaches the end of the container. Not good for words, but it works for url's. So you couldn't apply this to the whole news table, but you could to just the cell that contains the url.
I have a div element containing some text. When the user clicks a word inside that div I'd like to highlight just that word.
In order to do this I need to know what character position in the text the click occurred at, so I can then locate nearby whitespace and insert some formatting around the word.
Finding out where the click occurred within the text is the trick here. Is that kind of thing possible?
If your page is auto-generated, you might consider pre-processing the page by putting a <span class = 'word'> around every word in every selectable div. You might be able to this with javascript after the fact, and I think that would be your solution regardless, but pre-processing would make it easier.
The problem with relying on the absolute position of the word is that users can scale their fonts, which makes this task especially hard. By wrapping a span around every individual word, you can easily select which word was clicked by applying the click event to the span elements.
