Im trying to delete or at least make a cell disappear in a table in HTML.
I tried to put a class on the cell i want to disappear, then, with CSS, i tried to put a "visibility: hidden;" but it doesnt worck for this particular cell.
<td class="removecell"></td>
.removecell {
visibility: hidden;
}
I expect the cell to disappear, though, nothing happend. No error message.
Here is a link to my Codepen : CodePen Link
You can use this:
<td class="removecell"></td>
.removecell {
display: none;
}
add display:none to your td
.removecell{
display:none
}
and visibility: hidden also work maybe something in your css is overriding it. try using !important
.removecell {
visibility: hidden!important;
}
<td id="removecell"></td>
<script>
//this will shortened table width
document.getElementById('removecell').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('removecell').style.visibility= "hidden";
</script>
if you want to completly remove/delete the cell let me know but it will cost you to decrease width

The sidebar column (on the right) is written like this...
#aside {
background: #ffffff;
width: 220px;
overflow: hidden;
}
The main content column (on the left) and wider....is written like this...
#content.alpha,
#content.beta {
width: 700px;
background-color: #ffffff;
background-image: none;
}
The problem is that with how this theme is written...the aside column isn't contained inside a floated container with the content div...so I might be stuck. I don't want to start rewriting theme files, I just want the right column to stretch down to the height of the #content div. Not sure if its possible.
Unfortunately I don't know of way for this to be done in pure CSS, since the columns know nothing about each other. However, some simple Jquery could be used.
The idea is to check the height of both and set the shorter one's height to the longer one's height. It should look something like this in jQuery:
var contentHeight = $("#content").outerHeight();
var asideHeight = $("#aside").outerHeight();
if ( contentHeight > asideHeight ) {
$("#aside").height( contentHeight );
}
else {
$("#content").height( asideHeight );
}
Hello there, I just created this datepicker thingy which turned out pretty cool except that it creates some really annoying and weird looking white space below the divs when empty and appears higher, see the fiddle > http://jsfiddle.net/VtKkM/2/ Any help is greatly appreciated!
Haven't figured out the problem as of yet, but it seems that it doesn't like it when the spans are empty. One workaround, at least for now, is to replace your blank options with just a space ( ) so that there's still the illusion that it's empty but the spans still technically contain a value. This may not be a permanent solution, but it'll work for now.
To elaborate:
Line 2 of your js would go from
var days = '<option></option>',
to
var days = '<option> </option>',
and line 32 would go from }).parent().prepend('<span></span>'); to }).parent().prepend('<span> </span>');
Its for line height and your font size of page you can fix it by
Add line height style to your datePicker class like this:
line-height: 8px;
or change font-size like:
font-size: 10px;
Edit:
and for moving when you pick a some value from select you should set your span to position: absolute;
.datePicker > div > span{
position: absolute;
}
Edit2:
or you can set space value in first time in your span, change <span></span> to <span> </span>
Edit3:
i changed this lines to add space in initial between span tag, check values that add onload datepicker:
$.each(picker.children(), function () {
$(this).wrap('<div>').change(function () {
if ($(this).hasClass('month')) {
$(this).prev().html(months[$(this).val() - 1]);
} else {
$(this).prev().html($(this).val());
}
}).parent().prepend('<span> </span>');
if ($(this).hasClass('month')) {
$(this).prev().html(months[$(this).val()]?months[$(this).val()]:" ");
} else {
$(this).prev().html($(this).val()?$(this).val():" ");
}
});
Edit 4:
and css way, you can fixed it by add padding style to empty span like this:
.datePicker > div > span:empty{
padding:5px;
}
.datePicker > div {
display:inline;
position:relative;
min-width: 18px;
min-height:28px;
padding:0 5px 0 5px;
}
Just change display:inline-block to display:inline
The part about it appearing high I could fix with giving .datePicker select a 5px margin.
I have a nested shopping-type list that is grouped by type (and has descriptions for each item).
What I'm wanting to do is have the last type scrolling in the list, until the point that it would scroll off the top of the list.
A list may declared as
<div id="items">
<item-type>Type A</item-type>
<description>a</description>
<description>b</description>
<description>c</description>
<item-type>Type B</item-type>
<description>d</description>
<description>e</description>
<description>f</description>
<description>g</description>
<description>h</description>
</div>
I'm using element types so that I can use #items > item-type:last-of-type in CSS3 to select the last element.
#items {
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: auto;
height: 100%;
}
#items > * {
display: block;
}
#items > item-type:last-of-type {
position:absolute;
bottom: 100px;
}
So the only point now, is how do I keep it (effectively) position: relative; top: 0 to position: absolute; top: 0 using only CSS3?
I'm using FF4 and HTML5, so you can go all out; this won't be supported on older browsers. Also, using calc() is fine.
The valid view options are be something like:
______________________________________
Type A a Type B
a b e
b c f
c Type B g
d h
---------------------------------------
Where the lines are the visible area, and each column shows how it would appear given a certain amount of data (progression left to right)
If I understand the problem correctly, you want to create something like the iPhone Contacts list. Looking at the solution someone already built it uses JavaScript. Also, I've thought about it and gone through all the CSS3 specs but cannot determine anything that could be used here to achieve the same affect without JavaScript.
I knocked up a small demo, but again this uses JavaScript. I just don't think it's possible with pure CSS, although I'm sure someone will correct me if that's not the case :-)
HTML
<div id="items">
<item-type>Type A</item-type>
<description>a</description>
<description>b</description>
<description>c</description>
<item-type>Type B</item-type>
<description>d</description>
<description>e</description>
<description>f</description>
<description>g</description>
<description>h</description>
<description>i</description>
<description>j</description>
<description>k</description>
<description>l</description>
</div>
CSS
#items {
word-wrap: break-word;
overflow: auto;
height:100px;
border:1px dashed red;
width:200px;
}
#items > * {
display: block;
}
#items > item-type {
border:1px dashed blue;
background-color:#fff;
width:180px;
}
JavaScript (jQuery 1.6+)
var itemsTop = $('#items').position().top;
var itemTypeHeight = $('item-type').height();
var itemTypeBottom = itemsTop + itemTypeHeight;
$('#items').scroll(function() {
$('item-type').each(function() {
$(this).css({position:''});
if ($(this).position().top < itemsTop + itemTypeHeight) {
$(this).css({position:'fixed',top:itemsTop});
}
});
});
I think it's not possible for the following reasons (which may or may not be related):
When in normal viewing, a relative position is needed; at the top of the visible area, it would need to change to absolute
you could use calc() and min() or max() with the visible height, the current element's height and the current scroll position; except that none of these calculated properties are available to css
Another idea is making more absolute positioning of the 2nd item level, but there's no way of referencing the absolute-parent's height as well as the absolute-grandparent's height.
I think the first point is the easiest way to convince myself that it's not possible. The other two convince me that combinations of fancy css functions and absolute positioning are sunk as well.
I have a form with some text areas that allow a scroll bar when the text exceeds the text box. The user would like to be able to print the screen, and this text is not visible. How do I make all of the text visible for just printing? Am I better of making a print to pdf link or something?
You cannot solve this problem with CSS alone.
Why Pure-CSS Solutions are Insufficient (with demo)
Let me convince you the answers involving print stylesheets and overflow: visible are insufficient. Open this page and look at the source. Just what they suggested, right? Now print preview it (in, say, Chrome 13 on OS X, like me). Note that you can only see a line or two of the note when you attempt to print!
Here’s the URL for my test case again: https://alanhogan.github.io/web-experiments/print_textarea.html
Solutions:
A JavaScript link that opens a new window and writes the contents of the textarea to it for printing. Or:
When the textarea is updated, copy its contents to another element that that his hidden for screen but displayed when printed.
(If your textarea is read-only, then a server-side solution is also workable.)
Note that textareas treat whitespace differently than HTML does by default, so you should consider applying the CSS white-space: pre-wrap; in the new window you open or to your helper div, respectively. IE7 and older do not understand pre-wrap however, so if that is an issue, either accept it or use a workaround for them. or make the popup window actually plain text, literally served with a media type text/plain (which probably requires a server-side component).
The “Print Helper” Solution (with code + demo)
I have created a demo of one JavaScript technique.
The core concept is copying the textarea contents to another print helper. Code follows.
HTML:
<textarea name="textarea" wrap="wrap" id="the_textarea">
</textarea>
<div id="print_helper"></div>
CSS (all / non-print):
/* Styles for all media */
#print_helper {
display: none;
}
CSS (print):
/* Styles for print (include this after the above) */
#print_helper {
display: block;
overflow: visible;
font-family: Menlo, "Deja Vu Sans Mono", "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono", Monaco, monospace;
white-space: pre;
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
#the_textarea {
display: none;
}
Javascript (with jQuery):
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function($){
function copy_to_print_helper(){
$('#print_helper').text($('#the_textarea').val());
}
$('#the_textarea').bind('keydown keyup keypress cut copy past blur change', function(){
copy_to_print_helper(); // consider debouncing this to avoid slowdowns!
});
copy_to_print_helper(); // on initial page load
});
</script>
Again, the successful JavaScript-based demo is at https://alanhogan.github.io/web-experiments/print_textarea_js.html.
Loop through each of your text areas and move the content to a holder
window.onbeforeprint = function () {
$('.print-content').remove();
$('textarea').each(function () {
var text = $(this).val();
$(this).after('<p class="well print-content">' + text + '</p>');
});
}
And use the following CSS
.print-content {
display: none !important;
}
#media print {
.print-content {
display: block !important;
}
textarea {display: none !important;}
}
I recently ran into the same issue. My solution was to duplicate the content into form controls for editing and into divs for printing.
In my Head I put a print stylesheet.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="printform.css" type="text/css" media="print" />
In printform.css I put the following
.screenOnly { display: none; }
.printOnly { display: inline-block; }
For textareas (and other field types that were causing problems) I used the following code
<textarea class="screenOnly" name="myTextArea"><?php echo (htmlspecialchars ($_POST ['myTextArea'])); ?></textarea>
<div class="printOnly"><?php echo (htmlspecialchars ($_POST ['myTextArea'])); ?></div>
When displayed on screen the textareas are shown and the divs duplicating their content are hidden. When printing the opposite applies.
I know you already picked an answer to this question but while using the print stylesheet is a good idea it didn't describe a specific solution. Setting overflow:visible on the textarea (my first idea) didn't work so I ended up going with the solution above. If you're still having difficulties I hope this helps you out
Just encourter the problem recently too. Thanks for Alan H's posts. It works perfect with Chrome and Safari. However, with IE and Firefox, the issue is that the last several pages(page elements after textarea) will be missing from printing(FF), missing pages and overlapped layout(IE9).
Another finding that will be helpful to solve the issue is, you can set textarea's rows properties correctly as the control's height says to make it work with CSS overflow:visable stuff. All browsers seems to respect the rows property while printing.
This seems to work for applying to all elements that have overflowing content:
$("textarea").each(function () {
var Contents = $(this).val();
if ($(this)[0].scrollHeight > $(this).height()) {
$(this).after("<div class='print-helper'>" + Contents + "</div>");
$(this).addClass("no-print");
}
});
This is an easy fix with CSS, given that most users aren't really bothered about printing a bit of extra blank space. Just target a minimum height for textareas when printing:
#media print {
textarea {
min-height: 500px;
}
}
Tag that onto the end of your CSS with a min-height that is comfortably enough when you look at it in Print Preview.
With the usage of pure CSS it is not possible to prepare the textarea for printing.
It is necessary to add some javacript magic to the text area or add a hidden field.
There are a couple of solutions, that have been mentioned here:
Hidden paragraph or div
Using Javascript to extent the size of the textarea
1. Hidden paragraph or div
HTML & CSS:
<textarea>Sample Text</textarea>
<div class="hidden-div">Sample Text</div>
<style>
.hidden-div{display: none;}
#media print{
.hidden-div{display:block;}
}
</style>
2. Javascript
You could use a js library e.g https://github.com/thomasjo/jquery-autoresize
$(function() {
$("textarea").autoResize()
})
Adding onto Alan's answer above, if you have multiple instances of this problem on the same page, then you can use data-* attributes to handle all at once. Sample:
var $printOnlyArr = $('.print-only');
for (var i = 0; i < $printOnlyArr.length; i++) {
var $printOnly = $($printOnlyArr[i]);
var textSource = $printOnly.data('textsource');
if (textSource) {
$printOnly.text($("#" + textSource).val());
}
}
.print-only {
display: none;
}
#media print {
.print-only {
display: block;
}
.no-print {
display: none;
}
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<textarea class="form-control no-print" maxlength="2000" id="txtAdditionalComments"></textarea>
<div class="print-only" data-textsource="txtAdditionalComments"></div>
I had this same problem. My project is React, I was a semnaticUi TextArea component. The Text that could only be seen by scrolling down in the Textarea aka the "overflow" could not be seen in the print view when I press the print screen button.
Solution :)
I just used a normal paragraph tag instead and set css white-space: pre-wrap on a div that enclosed the p tag.
Worked for me!
try this using jQuery. Redefine height of all textareas based on quantity of lines.
Attention: this code change the textarea on screen too
window.onbeforeprint = function () {
$('textarea').each(function () {
var lines = Math.round($(this).val().split('\n').length * 1.6) ; //multiply to 1.6 to consider spacing between lines
$(this).height(lines+'em');
});
}
Define a separate CSS for print media like this <link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="print" /> and for the text area, define the overflow attribute as
overflow: visible;
I use this in my styling:
PRE.print {
display:none;
}
#media print {
TEXTAREA {
display:none;
}
PRE.print {
display:block;
width:90%; /* fixes margin issues in some funky browsers */
white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
font-family:monospace,sans;
}
}
Then, after every TEXTAREA, I use a PRE with class "print" like so:
<textarea id="message" name="message" rows="10" cols="80" onblur="updatePrint('#message')"><?= $MESSAGE ?></textarea>
<pre id="message-print" class="print">
<?= $MESSAGE ?>
</pre>
...note the PHP I used -- you can switch with your programming language. And then this code above needs the following function, assuming you have jQuery library loaded:
<script type="text/javascript">
function updatePrint(sID) {
$(sID + '-print').text($(sID)[0].value);
}
</script>
The way this all works
The way this works is that I'm basically loading content twice into the page, but using the stylesheet to hide content not suitable for the printer like the TEXTAREA.
You can change the PRE styling as you wish. However, I use monospace in case someone was wanting to print HTML code that they typed into the field and wanted it to format nicely.
The onblur event helps capture a need to update the related PRE.
Note you can also do the stylesheet stuff via the media attribute on a link rel in the HEAD section of your HTML, using things like media="all not print" and media="print".
