Polymer, how to adjust padding to internal div on paper-dialog-scrollable - polymer

The content area of paper-dialog-scrollable has a 24px padding on the left and right. I'd like to change that. When the HTML is rendered, it's an in-line style sheet and an in-line div that has the padding. I've tried using the following to no avail. The polymer inline styles come in after my inline style.
DOES NOT WORK:
<style>
.scrollable {
--paper-dialog-scrollable: {
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
};
}
</style>
In the following image it is the div with id="scrollable" that I need to change. I think it is scope=paper-dialog-scrollable-0 that actually sets the padding.
So how do I adjust padding to internal div on paper-dialog-scrollable?

You could use selectors like ::shadow and /deep/ but they are deprecated. If an element doesn't provide the hooks (CSS variables and mixins) then you're basically out of luck and there is non such hook for .scrollable.
What you can do, is to create a feature request in the elements GitHub repo to support additional selectors by mixins.
Another workaround I already used successfully is to add a style module.
Create a style module like
<dom-module id="scrollable-customization">
<style>
.scrollable {
--paper-dialog-scrollable: {
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
};
</style>
</dom-module>
import it and then "inject" it to the scrollable element
var myDomModule = document.createElement('style', 'custom-style');
myDomModule.setAttribute('include', 'scrollable-customization');
Polymer.dom(this.$pdscroll.root).appendChild(myDomModule);
I hope the syntax is correct. I use Polymer only with Dart.
The dom-module needs to be a custom-style even though this is normally only necessary when used outside a Polymer element.
See also Styling Polymer paper-slider

I found another way, just by using the element style, as follow
paper-dialog-scrollable { --paper-dialog-scrollable: { padding: 0 10px; }; }

Caret position and selection height for inline elements in Chrome

I'm looking into building an editor with Slate or ProseMirror and seeing some strange behavior with Chrome around the caret position and selection area when using an inline element. Issue 1 is shown in the first picture below. When the text cursor position is behind the "f", the caret is shown at the top of the image. Issue 2 is in the second image - selecting the text shows a highlighted area that's as tall as in the inlined element. Is there any way to control this behavior and instead have the caret show at the position of the text and only highlight the space around the text (even if the inline image is making the line height larger)
I'd like to mimic the behavior here, from firefox:
Example images were produced using the ProseMirror demo here: https://prosemirror.net/examples/basic/
A minimum example (thanks #Kaiido) with JSBin:
<div contenteditable>Test text<img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9b/Yoda_Empire_Strikes_Back.png">Testing</div>
Not sure how this behaves on other operating systems, but I'm using macOS Catalina.
You can fix the selection problem by using flexbox. I originally tried using align-items: flex-end but I was getting some weird arrow key behavior. align-items: baseline seems to work as of now.
The image problem is very strange. I noticed that Chrome steps over SVG elements differently than IMG elements. As of now, the latest version of Chrome "waits" before skipping over IMG, but allows the user to skip over an SVG like any other character (left arrow skips character closest to svg). This may be caused by underlying default styles, but I do not know.
I was about to post my findings, but I realized that Firefox did not work the same. Firefox has some really weird arrow key behavior when using SVG and/or Flexbox. The cursor goes above the image, but only when pressing the right arrow key.
However, Firefox works just fine with a normal IMG element.
Long story short, you will have to render different image elements based on the browser.
// chrome contenteditable ads spaces between spans.
// firefox does not, so you have to add them manually.
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox") > 0) {
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('#editable span')).forEach(el => {
el.innerHTML += " "
})
}
.flexit {
display: flex;
align-items: baseline;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
span {
display: inline-block;
white-space: pre;
}
.img-wrapper, .img-wrapper + span {
display: inline;
}

P.S. A lot of editors I have used default to full-width images.
Edit: I just realized that it appears my Firefox solution also works in the latest Chrome. I think this works because I wrapped the text nodes in SPAN elements. The SVG element still works differently in Chrome, but wrapping text in SPAN seems to solve most of the problems.
First, don't manipulate the ProseMirror DOM as shown in the JQuery example. In fact you most likely will run into DOM or content issues. ProseMirror uses its own DOM node and markup schema. If you want to manipulate the ProseMirror DOM or add plugin then take a look at the Markup, Plugin & Node Apis. Ive attached a simple example of text align Markup code. Side note, the reason Grammarly and others don't have ProseMirror plugins is because of the DOM approach / models. I should add the ProseMirror is very good, but to be honest it is more of an advanced developer solution.
That aside, the good news the problems you have a purely CSS. ProseMirror strips out all classes and resets the DOM / CSS so if you import a document or cut and paste all / most your classes will be gone.
Simplest approach to solve that is to wrap the editor in a div and assign a class to the div then add styles and child styles to that class. The reason to wrap it is that the css selectors such as img, p, h, etc will only apply to the tags inside of the editor class. Without that you end up with obvious CSS clashes.
CSS
Don't use flexbox for inline images as flexbox is not a grid system. In fact, if I recall you cannot inline direct children of the flex container.
inline on p tags and img will not wrap text and you will end up with the problems listed above.
if you want to truly wrap and remove the cursor issue your have then you need to use floats e.g. float: left; (recommended approach)
add small or large padding and border boxing to help with collapsing edges and also helps with separation of image and text
the cursor problem you are experiencing is because when you inside the image block it vertically aligned to top, which you can fix with vertical-align: baseline; but without floats you will still have a cursor that matches the height of the image and not the text. Also, if you don't use floats the cursor will be elongated as the line height is effectively the same height as the image. The blue color is just selector, which you change using CSS as well.

Node extension example
Example of Node extension for text align that can be added as a toolbar. Much longer post, but even if you did create a Node / plugin for images you have to deal with the manner in which it render i.e. base64 versus url, etc. which btw, makes perfect sense as to why they did that, but just add complexity to developers looking for SEO, etc.
export default class Paragraph extends Node {
get name() {
return 'paragraph';
}
get defaultOptions() {
return {
textAlign: ['left', 'center', 'right'],
}
}
inputRules({ type }) {
return [
markInputRule(/(?:\*\*|__)([^*_]+)(?:\*\*|__)$/, type),
]
}
get schema() {
return {

class: `type--base type--std text-` + node.attrs.textAlign

Angular Material: Custom Form Field Control - move floating label (down)

I've created a Custom Form Field Control for Angular 8 compatible with Reactive Forms and Angular Material. However, it being a simplified Rich-Text Editor, it has a header with various buttons with actions for the user.
How can I move the Placeholder label below the header of my input control to the actual textarea?
Current placeholder label placement
Well, since nobody really responded to my question, I'll post my own solution to this problem, one cruder (Solution 2) and one I deem proper (Solution 2, though to me it appears otherwise).
Edit: Solution 2: Proper approach
Well, I tried to make my code slightly more-configurable, hence I made one little mistake when changing code - I changed one variable to static, a variable used to declare the ID MatFormField uses in a class definition inside itself which we can use to customize the look of our component.
Namely controlType. Using this variable, we can identify when our component is in-use by direct class name following naming convention mat-form-field-type-<controlType>. So, since my controlType = "app-text-editor", I can use it like this:
.mat-form-field-type-app-text-editor:not(.mat-form-field-should-float) .mat-form-field-label-wrapper > .mat-form-field-label {
margin-top: 2.5rem;
padding: .5em;
}
Original: Solution 1: Hacky-approach
What I did was change my component to encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None, used the selector of my component inside css as my main identifier (in my case: app-text-editor) and then used CSS Sibling selector to select the floating label and placeholder to set offset for my TextEditor header and reset it back to default once the label is floating. The resulting CSS looks like this:
app-text-editor {
// Styling for actual TextEditor
&.floating ~ .mat-form-field-label-wrapper > .mat-form-field-label {
margin-top: initial;
padding: initial;
}
& ~ .mat-form-field-label-wrapper > .mat-form-field-label {
margin-top: 2.5rem;
padding: .5em; // Used to properly align the content inside my contenteditable
}
Or as pure CSS would look like:
app-text-editor.floating ~ .mat-form-field-label-wrapper > .mat-form-field-label {
margin-top: initial;
padding: initial;
}
app-text-editor ~ .mat-form-field-label-wrapper > .mat-form-field-label {
margin-top: 2.5rem;
padding: .5em; /* Used to properly align the content inside my contenteditable */
}
Weirdly enough, even the animation transition looks smooth despite me using such a hacky-approach for repositioning it.
If you don't mind using advanced CSS selector (Can I Use: Advanced CSS3 selectors), the solution can be even cleaner:
SCSS:
app-text-editor {
// Styling for the actual TextEditor
&:not(.floating) ~ .mat-form-field-label-wrapper > .mat-form-field-label {
margin-top: 2.5rem;
padding: .5em; // Used to properly align the content inside my contenteditable
}
Pure CSS:
app-text-editor:not(.floating) ~ .mat-form-field-label-wrapper > .mat-form-field-label {
margin-top: 2.5rem;
padding: .5em; /* Used to properly align the content inside my contenteditable */
}

Using CSS for Image Content? [duplicate]

Is it possible to set the src attribute value in CSS?
In most cases, we use it like this:
<img src="pathTo/myImage.jpg" />
and I want it to be something like this
<img class="myClass" />
.myClass {
some-src-property: url("pathTo/myImage.jpg");
}
I want to know if there is a way doing it without using the background or background-image properties in CSS.
Use content:url("image.jpg").
Full working solution (Live Demo):
<!doctype html>
<style>
.MyClass123{
content:url("http://imgur.com/SZ8Cm.jpg");
}
</style>
<img class="MyClass123"/>
Tested and working:
Chrome 14.0.835.163
Safari 4.0.5
Opera 10.6
Firefox 100 & newer
Tested and Not working:
FireFox 40.0.2 (observing Developer Network Tools, you can see that the URL loads, but the image is not displayed)
Internet Explorer 11.0.9600.17905 (URL never loads)
There is a solution that I found out today (works in IE6+, FF, Opera, Chrome):
<img src='willbehidden.png'
style="width:0px; height:0px; padding: 8px; background: url(newimage.png);">
How it works:
The image is shrunk until no longer visible by the width & height.
Then, you need to 'reset' the image size with padding. This
one gives a 16x16 image. Of course you can use padding-left /
padding-top to make rectangular images.
Finally, the new image is put there using background.
If the new background image is too large or too small, I recommend using background-size for example: background-size:cover; which fits your image into the allotted space.
It also works for submit-input-images, they stay clickable.

A collection of possible methods to set images from CSS
CSS2's :after pseudo-element or the newer syntax ::after from CSS3 along with the content: property:
First W3C Recommendation: Cascading Style Sheets, level 2
CSS2 Specification 12 May 1998
Latest W3C Recommendation: Selectors Level 3
W3C Recommendation 29 September 2011
This method appends content just after an element's document tree content.
Note: some browsers experimentally render the content property directly over some element selectors disregarding even the latest W3C recommendation that defines:
Applies to: :before and :after pseudo-elements
CSS2 syntax (forward-compatible):
.myClass:after {
content: url("somepicture.jpg");
}
CSS3 Selector:
.myClass::after {
content: url("somepicture.jpg");
}
Default rendering: Original Size (does not depend on explicit size declaration)
This specification does not fully define the interaction of :before and :after with replaced elements (such as IMG in HTML). This will be defined in more detail in a future specification.
but even at the time of this writing, behaviour with a <IMG> tag is still not defined and although it can be used in a hacked and non standards compliant way, usage with <img> is not recommended!
Great candidate method, see conclusions...
**CSS1**'s [`background-image:`](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS1-961217#background-image) property:
First W3C Recommendation: Cascading Style Sheets, level 1 17 Dec 1996
This property sets the background image of an element. When setting a background image, one should also set a background color that will be used when the image is unavailable. When the image is available, it is overlaid on top of the background color.
This property has been around from the beginning of CSS and nevertheless it deserve a glorious mention.
Default rendering: Original Size (cannot be scaled, only positioned)
However,
CSS3's background-size: property improved on it by allowing multiple scaling options:
Latest W3C Status: Candidate Recommendation CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3 9 September 2014
[length> | <percentage> | auto ]{1,2} | cover | contain
But even with this property, it depends on container size.
Still a good candidate method, see conclusions...
CSS2's list-style: property along with display: list-item:
First W3C Recommendation: Cascading Style Sheets, level 2
CSS2 Specification 12 May 1998
list-style-image: property sets the image that will be used as the list item marker (bullet)
The list properties describe basic visual formatting of lists: they allow style sheets to specify the marker type (image, glyph, or number)
display: list-item — This value causes an element (e.g., <li> in HTML) to generate a principal block box and a marker box.
.myClass {
display: list-item;
list-style-position: inside;
list-style-image: url("someimage.jpg");
}
Shorthand CSS: (<list-style-type> <list-style-position> <list-style-image>)
.myClass {
display: list-item;
list-style: square inside url("someimage.jpg");
}
Default rendering: Original Size (does not depend on explicit size declaration)
Restrictions:
-
Inheritance will transfer the 'list-style' values from OL and UL elements to LI elements. This is the recommended way to specify list style information.
They do not allow authors to specify distinct style (colors, fonts, alignment, etc.) for the list marker or adjust its position
This method is also not suitable for the <img> tag as the conversion cannot be made between element types, and here's the limited, non compliant hack that doesn't work on Chrome.
Good candidate method, see conclusions...
CSS3's border-image: property recommendation:
Latest W3C Status: Candidate Recommendation CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3 9 September 2014
A background-type method that relies on specifying sizes in a rather peculiar manner (not defined for this use case) and fallback border properties so far (eg. border: solid):
Note that, even though they never cause a scrolling mechanism, outset
images may still be clipped by an ancestor or by the viewport.
This example illustrates the image being composed only as a bottom-right corner decoration:
.myClass {
border: solid;
border-width: 0 480px 320px 0;
border-image: url("http://i.imgur.com/uKnMvyp.jpg") 0 100% 100% 0;
}
Applies to: All elements, except internal table elements when border-collapse: collapse
Still it can't change an <img>'s tag src (but here's a hack), instead we can decorate it:
.myClass {
border: solid;
border-width: 0 96px 96px 0;
border-image: url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Christmas_bell_icon_1.png")
0 100% 100% 0;
}
<img width="300" height="120"
src="http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/253/b/0/merry_christmas_card_by_designworldwide-d5e9746.jpg"
class="myClass"
Good candidate method to be considered after standards propagate.
CSS3's element() notation working draft is worth a mention also:
Note: The element() function only reproduces the appearance of the referenced element, not the actual content and its structure.
<div id="img1"></div>
<img id="pic1" src="http://i.imgur.com/uKnMvyp.jpg" class="hide" alt="wolf">
<img id="pic2" src="http://i.imgur.com/TOUfCfL.jpg" class="hide" alt="cat">
We'll use the rendered contents of one of the two hidden images to change the image background in #img1 based on the ID Selector via CSS:
#img1 {
width: 480px;
height: 320px;
background: -moz-element(#pic1) no-repeat;
background-size: 100% 100%;
}
.hide {display: none}
Notes: It's experimental and only works with the -moz prefix in Firefox and only over background or background-image properties, also needs sizes specified.

Conclusions
Any semantic content or structural information goes in HTML.
Styling and presentational information goes in CSS.
For SEO purposes, don't hide meaningful images in CSS.
Background graphics are usually disabled when printing.
Custom tags could be used and styled from CSS, but primitive versions of Internet Explorer do not understand](IE not styling HTML5 tags (with shiv)) without Javascript or CSS guidance.
SPA's (Single Page Applications), by design, usually incorporate images in the background
Having said that, let's explore HTML tags fit for image display:
The <li> element [HTML4.01+]
Perfect usecase of the list-style-image with display: list-item method.
The <li> element, can be empty, allows flow content and it's even permitted to omit the </li> end tag.
.bulletPics > li {display: list-item}
#img1 {list-style: square inside url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/Nuvola_erotic.png")}
#img2 {list-style: square inside url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Globe_icon_2014-06-26_22-09.png")}
#img3 {list-style: square inside url("http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/Kiwi_fruit.jpg")}
<ul class="bulletPics">
<li id="img1">movie</li>
<li id="img2">earth</li>
<li id="img3">kiwi</li>
</ul>
Limitations: hard to style (width: or float: might help)
The <figure> element [HTML5+]
The figure element represents some flow content, optionally with a caption, that is self-contained (like a complete sentence) and is typically referenced as a single unit from the main flow of the document.
The element is valid with no content, but is recommended to contain a <figcaption>.
The element can thus be used to annotate illustrations, diagrams, photos, code listings, etc.
Default rendering: the element is right aligned, with both left and right padding!
FIGURE Live Demo
The <object> element [HTML4+]
To include images, authors may use the OBJECT element or the IMG element.
The data attribute is required and can have a valid MIME type as a value!
<object data="data:x-image/x,"></object>
Note: a trick to make use of the <object> tag from CSS would be to set a custom valid MimeType x-image/x followed by no data (value has no data after the required comma ,)
Default rendering: 300 x 150px, but size can be specified either in HTML or CSS.

i used the empty div solution, with this CSS:
#throbber {
background-image: url(/Content/pictures/ajax-loader.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
min-width: 48px;
min-height: 48px;
}
HTML:
<div id="throbber"></div>
I found a better way than the proposed solutions, but it does use the background-image indeed.
Compliant method (cannot confirm for IE6)
Credits: http://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/lir/
<img src="pathTo/myImage.jpg"/>
The CSS:
img[src*="pathTo/myImage.jpg"] {
background-image: url("mynewimg.jpg"); /* lets say 20x20 */
width: 20px;
display:inline-block;
padding: 20px 0 0 0;
height: 0px !important;
/* for IE 5.5's bad box model */
height /**/:20px;
}
The old image is not seen and the new is seen as expected.
The following neat solution only works for webkit
img[src*="pathTo/myImage.jpg"] {
/* note :) */
content:'';
display:inline-block;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
background-image: url("mynewimg.jpg"); /* lets say 20x20 */
}
They are right. IMG is a content element and CSS is about design.
But, how about when you use some content elements or properties for design purposes?
I have IMG across my web pages that must change if i change the style (the CSS).
Well this is a solution for defining IMG presentation (no really the image) in CSS style.
create a 1x1 transparent gif or png.
Assign propery "src" of IMG to that image.
Define final presentation with "background-image" in the CSS style.
It works like a charm :)
Here is a very good solution -> http://css-tricks.com/replace-the-image-in-an-img-with-css/
Pro(s) and Con(s):
(+) works with vector image that have relative width/height (a thing that RobAu's answer does not handle)
(+) is cross browser (works also for IE8+)
(+) it only uses CSS. So no need to modify the img src (or if you do not have access/do not want to change the already existing img src attribute).
(-) sorry, it does use the background css attribute :)
No you can't set the image src attribute via CSS. The closest you can get is, as you say, background or background-image. I wouldn't recommend doing that anyway as it would be somewhat illogical.
However, there is a CSS3 solution available to you, if the browsers you're targeting are able to use it. Use content:url as described in Pacerier's answer. You can find other, cross-browser solutions in the other answers below.
You can define 2 images in your HTML code and use display: none; to decide which one will be visible.
Put several images in a "controlling" container, and change the container's class instead. In CSS, add rules to manage images' visibility depending on the container's class. This will produce the same effect as changing img src property of a a single image.
HTML:
<span id="light" class="red">
<img class="red" src="red.png" />
<img class="yellow" src="yellow.png" />
<img class="green" src="green.png" />
</span>
CSS:
#light { ... }
#light * { display: none; } // all images are hidden
#light.red .red { display: inline; } // show red image when #light is red
#light.yellow .yellow { display: inline; } // .. or yellow
#light.green .green { display: inline; } // .. or green
Note that it will preload all images, like with CSS backround-images, but unlike changing img src via JS.
Some data I would leave in HTML, but it is better to define the src in CSS:
<img alt="Test Alt text" title="Title text" class="logo">
.logo {
content:url('../images/logo.png');
}
Or you could do this which I found on the interweb thingy.
https://robau.wordpress.com/2012/04/20/override-image-src-in-css/
<img src="linkToImage.jpg" class="egg">
.egg {
width: 100%;
height: 0;
padding: 0 0 200px 0;
background-image: url(linkToImage.jpg);
background-size: cover;
}
So effectively hiding the image and padding down the background. Oh what a hack but if you want an IMG tag with alt text and a background that can scale without using JavaScript?
In a project I'm working on now I created a hero block twig template
<div class="hero">
<img class="image" src="{{ bgImageSrc }}"
alt="{{ altText }}" style="background-image: url({{ bgImageSrc }});">
</div>
Alternative way
.myClass {
background: url('/img/loading_big.gif');
}
<div class="myClass"></div>
As far as I am aware of, YOU CANNOT. CSS is about style and image's src is content.
To reiterate a prior solution and to stress the pure CSS implementation here is my answer.
A Pure CSS solution is needed in cases where you are sourcing content from another site, and thus you have no control over the HTML that is delivered. In my case I am trying to remove branding of licensed source content so that the licencee does not have to advertise for the company they are buying the content from. Therefore, I'm removing their logo while keeping everything else. I should note that this is within my client's contract to do so.
{ /* image size is 204x30 */
width:0;
height:0;
padding-left:102px;
padding-right:102px;
padding-top:15px;
padding-bottom:15px;
background-image:url(http://sthstest/Style%20Library/StThomas/images/rhn_nav_logo2.gif);
}
I know this is a really old question however no answers provide the proper reasoning for why this can never be done. While you can "do" what you are looking for you cannot do it in a valid way. In order to have a valid img tag it must have the src and alt attributes.
So any of the answers giving a way to do this with an img tag that does not use the src attribute are promoting use of invalid code.
In short: what you are looking for cannot be done legally within the structure of the syntax.

If you don't want to set a background property then you can't set the src attribute of an image using only CSS.
Alternatively you can use JavaScript to do such a thing.
Using CSS, it can't be done. But, if you are using JQuery, something like this will do the trick:
$("img.myClass").attr("src", "http://somwhere");
You can convert it with JS:
$('.image-class').each(function(){
var processing = $(this).attr('src');
$(this).parent().css({'background-image':'url('+processing+')'});
$(this).hide();
});
If you are trying to add an image in a button dynamically based on the context of your project, you can use the ? take to reference the source based on an outcome. Here I am using mvvm design to let my Model.Phases[0] value determine whether I want my button to be populated with images of a lightbulb on or off based on the value of the light phase.
Not sure if this helps. I'm using JqueryUI, Blueprint, and CSS. The class definition should allow you to style the button based on whatever you'd like.
<button>
<img class="#(Model.Phases[0] ? "light-on": "light-off")" src="#(Model.Phases[0] ? "~/Images/LightBulbOn.png" : "~/Images/LightBulbOff.png")"/>
<img class="#(Model.Phases[0] ? "light-on": "light-off")" src="#(Model.Phases[0] ? "~/Images/LightBulbOn.png" : "~/Images/LightBulbOff.png")"/>
<img class="#(Model.Phases[0] ? "light-on": "light-off")" src="#(Model.Phases[0] ? "~/Images/LightBulbOn.png" : "~/Images/LightBulbOff.png")"/>
I would add this: background image could be also positioned with background-position: x y; (x horizontal y vertical). (..)
My case, CSS:
(..)
#header {
height: 100px;
background-image: url(http://.../head6.jpg);
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-color: grey;
(..)
}
(...)
HTMl Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css destination" />
</head>
<body>
<!-- click-able pic with link -->
<a href="site you want">
<!-- Take the off if you don't want click-able link -->
<h1 id(or class)="nameOfClassorid">
<span>Text that is not important</span>
</h1>
</a>
</body>
</html>
Css Code:
span {
display: none;
}
h1 id or class {
height: of pic;
width: of pic;
/* Only flaw (so far) read bottom */
background-image:url(/* "image destination" */);
}
h1 id or class:hover {
/* Now the awesome part */
background-image:url(/* 'new background!!!' */);
}
I've been studying html after school for a few days, and wanted to know how to do this. Found out the background and then put 2 and 2 together.
This works 100% I checked, if not make sure you fill in necessary things!!!
We need to specify height, because without it there would be nothing!!!
I'll leave this basic shell you can add-on.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<a href="http:localhost">
<h1>
<span>Text that is not important</span>
</h1>
</a>
</body>
</html>
span {
display: none;
}
h1 {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background-image:url("http://linuxlog.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Ubuntu-Desktop-#-2011-01-11-191526-300x225.png");
}
h1:hover {
height: 300px;
width: 300px;
background-image:url("http://cdn.css-tricks.com/images/ads/wufoo-600x600-red.png");
}
P.S. Yes I am a Linux user ;)
Any method based on background or background-image is likely to fail when user prints the document with "print background colors and images" disabled.
Which is unfortunately typical browser's default.
The only print-friendly and cross-browser compatible method here is the one proposed by Bronx.
Just use HTML5 :)
<picture>
<source srcset="smaller.jpg" media="(max-width: 768px)">
<source srcset="default.jpg">
<img srcset="default.jpg" alt="My default image">
</picture>

When should <script> tags be visible and why can they?

A script element that got styled as display:block appears visible. Why is it possible and is there any real use case where it is desired?
td > * {
display: block;
}
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<script type="text/javascript">
var test = 1;
</script>von 1
</td>
</tr>
</table>
The HTML5 specification defines a style sheet that user agents (like browsers) are expected to use. Section 10.3.1 lists the styles for "Hidden elements":
#namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
[hidden], area, base, basefont, datalist, head, link,
meta, noembed, noframes, param, rp, script, source, style, template, track, title {
display: none;
}
embed[hidden] { display: inline; height: 0; width: 0; }
As you can see, it applies display: none; to script.
This is the only "barrier" between your users and hidden script elements. It’s perfectly fine and intended to be able to overwrite styles from user-agent style sheets within author style sheets (and of course also within user style sheets).
Why someone might want to use it? One use case is displaying content without having to escape characters like </>, similar to the old xmp element. The script element can be used not only for scripts, but also for data blocks (i.e., for anything with a MIME type).
Why can <script> Tags be visible?
Because they are HTML elements like any other and there is no reason to write special case rules in the HTML specification (which would add complexity) to prevent CSS from applying to them.
Any element can be styled. Take, for example:
head { display: block; }
title { display: block; }
meta { display: block; }
meta[charset]:after { display: block; content: attr(charset); }
meta[content]:after { display: block; content: attr(content); }
Is there any Usecase where it is wanted?
Certainly no common ones, but general rules aren't designed to make sense for everything that you can apply them to. They are designed for the common cases.
Another (not common) use case:
I sometimes use <script> tags for brief HTML code examples in style guides. That way I don't have to escape HTML tags and special characters. And text editor tag autocomplete and syntax highlighting still work. But there's no easy way to add syntax highlighting in the browser.
script[type="text/example"] {
background-color: #33373c;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
color: #aed9ef;
display: block;
font-family: monospace;
overflow: auto;
padding: 2px 10px 16px;
white-space: pre-wrap;
word-break: break-all;
word-wrap: break-word;
}
<p>Here comes a code example:</p>
<script type="text/example">
<div class="cool-component">
Some code example
</div>
</script>
Possible use case: for debugging purposes.
You could apply a class at the document level, eg. <body class="debugscript">, then use some CSS:
body.debugscript script {
display: block;
background: #fcc;
border: 1px solid red;
padding: 2px;
}
body.debugscript script:before {
content: 'Script:';
display: block;
font-weight: bold;
}
body.debugscript script[src]:before {
content: 'Script: ' attr(src);
}
Script tags are hidden by default by using display:none;. Unor1 explains the underlying language specification. However, they are still part of the DOM and can be styled accordingly.
That said, it is important to keep in mind exactly what a script tag is doing. While it used to be accompanied by types and languages, that is no longer required. It is now assumed that JavaScript is in there, and as a result browsers will interpret and execute the script as it is encountered (or loaded) from these tags.
Once the script has been executed, the content of the tag is only text (often hidden) on the page. This text can be revealed, but it can also be removed because it is just text.
At the bottom of your page, right before the closing </html> tag, you could very easily remove these tags along with their text and there would be no changes to the page.
For example:
(function(){
var scripts = document.querySelectorAll("script");
for(var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++){
scripts[i].parentNode.removeChild(scripts[i]);
}
})()
This will not remove any functionality, as the state of the page has already been altered and is reflected in the current global execution context. For example, if the page had loaded a library such as jQuery, removing the tags will not mean that jQuery is no longer exposed because it has already been added to the page's runtime environment. It is essentially only making the DOM inspection tool not show script elements, but it does highlight that the script elements once executed really are only text.

Remove inline style for ajaxtoolkit Combobox -button

I am using AjaxToolkit combobox in my page... I am trying to change the width of combo-button . But I couldnot. Because it has inline style by default..
I tried the following code to add style
//Combo css
.ComboClass .ajax__combobox_buttoncontainer button
{
border-radius: 0px;
box-shadow: 0px;
width :12px; height:12px;
}
But border-radius and Box-shadow styles are applying but Width& height is not applying ..
Because ComboBox Button got default inline styles.. I cant remove that line styles too..
Please post me some suggestions....
Add a javascript function to search for and strip the attributes on document ready.
The jquery way is:
$(document).ready(function()
{
document.find(".ajax__combobox_buttoncontainer").removeClass("ajax__combobox_buttoncontainer").addClass("myAwesomeClassWithCoolDimensions");
});
Make sure your css has a myAwesomeClassWithCoolDimensions class.
Finally it works.. Little change on my css. I just added !important property to override the default element (Inline styles)..
<style type="text/css">
.ComboClass .ajax__combobox_buttoncontainer button
{
box-shadow: 0px;
width: 14px !important;
height: 15px !important;
}
</style>
Now I can change width & height of the combo-button.
