Background property behaving unexpectedly in CSS - html

Actual webpage
I'm trying to display code snippets on my webpage. I'm a CSS novice and having trouble creating a dark background on which to display my code snippets.
When I create a class called "test" (which should override all other background specifications, right?) and assign it a color property of blue and a background property of black, the color blue shows up within pre tags but the background remains the default color.
When I switch to span tags and assign the class there instead, both properties work as I command. But I don't want to use span because my instructors say non-semantic tags are bad practice. Something tells me that there's some inherent property of pre tags that I need to override somehow.
Any ideas? I can post the code here if that's proper/necessary.
Edit: I posted an abbreviated version of the code here. I tested it, and got the same issue here. Hopefully with less code it will be easier to pinpoint the problem.
Here's the HTMl:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheets/test.css">
</head>
<body>
<p>
<pre class="test">test</pre>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Now the CSS:
.test {
color: blue;
font-weight: bold;
background: black;
}
pre {
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 1.25em;
text-align: left;
line-height: 0px;
background: black;
}

The more specific the rule, the more likely it will be to override a parent class or id. Give this one a shot...
.snippets div{
background-color: #F00;
}
.snippets div.no_code{
background-color: #000;
}
<div class="snippets">
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div class="no_code"> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
</div>

have you tried with background-color property of pre tag?
Please check my codepen link. http://codepen.io/anon/pen/gaydao
HTML:
<body>
<p>
<pre>test</pre>
</p>
</body>
CSS:
.test {
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
background: black;
}
pre {
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 1.25em;
text-align: left;
line-height: 0px;
border: 1px solid #000;
height: 50px;
background-color:#DDFFDD;
padding: 10px 0 0 10px;
}

you have to use !important on your class because it's already defined the color property in another class...
.code{
background-color: #000 !important;
}
.box{
width: 250px;
height: 20xp;
background-color: red;
display: inline-block;
margin: 5px;
}
.code{
background-color: #000 !important;
}
<div class="box code"> </div>
<div class="box code"> </div>
<div class="box code"> </div>
<div class="box no_code"> </div>
<div class="box code"> </div>
<div class="box no_code"> </div>
<div class="box no_code"> </div>

Changing line height without affecting the background color

I'm currently working on freecodecamp's first test, so my question is probably dumb. I would like to change the line-height of #titles to a smaller one, while keeping it's background color. It's probably the display element, but I can't figure out what to do. Also, I'd like to get rid of the white line surrounding my image, right before the border...
<div id="main">
<div id="titles">
<h1 id="title">A tribute to Ocelote</h1>
<h2 id="title2">The man who has done it all.</h2>
</div>
<hr>
<div id="img-div">
<img id="image" src="https://theshotcaller.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/IMG_5488-1.jpg" alt="A photo of Ocelote">
<div id="img-caption"> A story of how far can one go, if only the desire is
there.

any help is appreciated
Adding the below two rules to #titles makes it work:
#titles {
display: block;
background: #6C7E95;
line-height: 5px;
/* Add the below two rules */
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 0 20px;
}
You get this:

html, body {
font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif;
text-align: center;
background: white;
}
#title2 {

}
#titles {
display: block;

line-height: 5px;
/* Add the below two rules */
overflow: hidden;
padding: 0 0 20px;
}

For the white border issue, it's your body's margins. The below code will fix it.
body {margin: 0;}

html,body{

}
div.link{
font-size: 25px;

border-radius: 100%;
}
.circle{
border: 2px ;
border-radius: 100%;
background-color: black;
}
.name{
position: fixed;
margin-top:420px;
margin-left: 530px;
}
I think the most easiest way you're looking for is:
.link a {margin-right:10px;}
the only problem with this is that all link elements get now a margin-right, from the first to the last one.
if you want to exclude the last element to have no margin right, add an additonal:
.link a:last-child{margin-right:0px;}
remember that in css you can perfectly nest css selectors
html body .back .link a{some-css-rule}
by the way, the more specific a selector is, the more important it will be when the browser analyses them)
<div class="some_class" id="some_id" style="color:grey;">sometext</div>
#some_id{color:black;}
.some_class{color:blue;}
div {color:green;}
the color will be grey, because inline selectors have more weight than selectors with ID, which have more weight than selectors with classes, which have more weight than selectors with html containers.

Try to avoid custom CSS-Styles in your HTML-File and include them in your CSS-File. You can use padding or margin in your CSS-File, see this link for the difference.
YourHTMLfile.html
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="YourStyleFile.css">
</head>
<body>
...
<div class="link" align="middle">

YourStyleFile.css
.link a {
padding: 16px;
color: white;
}
EDIT: make sure to create a CSS-File and add it to your <head> section of your HTML-File. They both have to be in the same directory. Another reason why my code may not work for you is that maybe you have another CSS-File which overrides the .link class.
Wrap them in a div and style the div with word-spacing: 10px; :)

CSS When hover on a anchor, change the background color of the div it's on

a {
text-decoration: none;
}
.social {
padding-left: 670px;
/*margin-left: 670px;*/
margin-top: -140px;
}
.blog_roll_links {
margin-left: 58px;
width: 210px;
height: 40px;
line-height: 40px;
}
.blog_roll_links:hover {
background-color: #C74451;
color: white !important;
text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black;
}
.social_links {
padding-left: 8px;
margin-left: 40px;
width: 140px;
height: 30px;
line-height: 30px;
}

<div class="social_links blog_roll_links">
twitter
</div>
</div>
</div>
I have this little snip of code and two questions:
The "facebook" and "twitter" have the same class of "blog_roll_links", however, the final result is different. It supposed to change the div color when hovered over the link, like the links in blog does. I just cannot figure it out why "blog" and "social" have the same class, but don't have the same effect.
I want to change the text color to white when hovered over, i have the code in my CSS, why it won't work?
Hi I highly recommend you to explore the browsers (chrome recommended) development tools.
if you inspect the elements you will see that in your current styling, that the anchor is nested inside your div AND that the anchor doesn't have the same width and height.
depending on which class you are adding :hover, css will react accordingly.
also the color of the font belongs to the anchor.
My suggestion is that you wrap the styling div inside the anchor, so that the whole div becomes a link ;)
Hope this helps you

html class doesn't stay inline

Why doesn't the div stay in line rather like this:
HTML:
<div id="NovosProdutos">
<div id="name">
<h1>Novos produtos</h1>
</div>
<div id="produtos">
<div class="product"><h1>product 1</h1></div>
<div class="product"><h1>product 2</h1></div>
<div class="product"><h1>product 3</h1></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
#name {
height: 25px;
font-size: 8px;
font-family: Georgia, serif;
border-style: ridge;
border-color: #38c23d;
border-width: 0px 0px 2.5px;
}
#produtos {
height: 190px;
}
.product {
width:162.5px;
height: 155px;
}
Is there any problem with the class?
<div> by it's nature goes to the next line and don't stack next to each other
However you can add
float:left;
to your products class.
example:
http://codepen.io/nilestanner/pen/OXYPja
By default, the display presentation style for a <div> is block. You may want to use something that displays inline, or set that property for the given <div>s in your CSS. See: How do you make div elements display inline?

CSS selector :active not working on child element click in IE8

I have the following HTML structure:
<div id="ctr__Wrapper" class="wrapper">
<div id="ctr" class="control clickable">
<img src="logo.png">
</div>
</div>
And the following CSS for this:
.control
{
border: 1px solid #000;
background-color: #666;
padding: 20px;
}
.control:active
{
background-color: #bbb;
}
When I click on the element "ctr", I see the background color changing, but when I click on the image itself, it doesn't. This works fine in Firefox, but not in IE8. Is there something I can do to solve this in CSS.
The working example can be seen here:
http://jsfiddle.net/miljenko/DNMPd/
You could use a background image instead of a real image.
html:
<div id="ctr__Wrapper" class="wrapper">
<div id="ctr" class="control clickable">
</div>
</div>
css:
.control
{
border: 1px solid #000;
background-color: #666;
height: 40+height-of-logopx;
background-image:url(logo.png); background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-position:20px 20px;
}
.control:active
{
background-color: #bbb;
}
because < ie9 don't support :active on anything other than anchor elements. here's your fiddle, that should work in ie8 http://jsfiddle.net/jalbertbowdenii/DNMPd/12/
