Unable to enlarge a picture - html

I'm trying to enlarge a smaller picture. I have a small and a large version of the pictures. I've searched on the internet, the one i'm using is the best i've found.
I know this would be much easier with 'Lightbox2' or other javascript things, but the purpose is to only use html & css.
Here you can find the link (dropbox, .zip file) to the website' folder --> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/61634717/Website.zip
It would be nice if someone could find the problem why my smaller pictures aren't enlarged when hovering over. The website is only showing the small pictures when hovering over them.
Here is the html code (for one picture):
<div class="ienlarger"><a href="#nogo"><img src="Pictures/Artists/PeopleTalkTechnoSmall.png" alt="thumb" class="resize_thumb" /><span>
<img src="Pictures/Artists/PeopleTalkTechno-Large.png" alt="large" /><br />Some text can go here.</span></a>
</div>
Here is the css code:
.ienlarger {
float: left;
clear: none;
padding-bottom: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
}
.ienlarger a {
display:block;
text-decoration: none;
cursor:default;
}
.ienlarger a:hover{
position:relative;
}
.ienlarger span img {
border: 0px solid #FFFFFF;
margin-bottom: 8px;
}
.ienlarger a span {
position: absolute;
display:none;
color: #FFCC00;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
background-color: #2E2E2E;
font-weight: bold;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-bottom: 13px;
padding-left: 10px;
}
.ienlarger img {
border-width: 0;
}
.ienlarger a:hover span {
display:inline-table;
top: 50px;
left: 90px;
z-index: 100;
}
.resize_thumb {
width: 170px;
height : auto;
}
NOTE: Do not pay attention to the background colors :D. I know they are weird, but it is just for me to see the different < div > (they will be changed when the website is closer to being completed).

Alright, I downloaded your code and messed around with it.
Removing max-width: 100%; from the img CSS seems to have fixed it (line 25). In the future, please post the code along with your question, or if there are a lot of parts to it, a JSFiddle is also acceptable.
Thanks.

In your css you have all images set to a max-width of 100% probably to make it responsive, which is good. But that is also your problem. The images can only be 100% of their container and no bigger. If you remove img {max-width: 100%} from your css that fixes your issue.
But is also makes it not repsonsive. :-(
So your solution is to add a class="larger" to the bigger image and add another line to your css. You would end up with something like this:
img {
max-width:100%;
height:auto;
}
img.larger {
max-width: 500px; /* the maximum size you would allow for larger images */
}

expand body or wrapper height with an absolute div inside

I'm working on a website on wordpress.
I have a wrapper with header and entry inside of it.
my Body height is set to height: 100%;
Wrapper is set to height: 100% and min-height: 100%.
The height of my page expand depending of the content of my entry, that works perfectly on most of pages.
but on some pages, I've included Pure CSS Tabs, which are set to position:absolute to work.
I used this example : http://www.onextrapixel.com/2013/07/31/creating-content-tabs-with-pure-css/
on pages including those tabs my content doesn't expand anymore, I can not use position:relative for the tabs...
Is there a way of expending the body height depending of my tab contact height ?
maybe using Js ?
can anybody help me ?
here is my css :
html,body{
width: 100%;

text-transform: none;
background-color: #4C4C4C;
letter-spacing: 2px;height: 97%;}
#wrapper{
background-color: white;
height: auto !important; /* ie6 ignores !important, so this will be overridden below */ min-height: 100%; /* ie6 ignores min-height completely */
margin-left: 20px;

position: absolute;}
here is a jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/MPhnP/
anyone can help me with this ? is it possible using the css tabs I'm using ?
thanks a lot for your help !
Wow, I remember battling with this exact problem a couple of months ago, I was even using those exact same tabs you linked.
The thing with absolute positioning is that you are positioning the elements outside of the normal flow of the webpage - any div with position absolute will not contribute to the page flow.
This leaves you with 2 options:
Manually set the height of the tab group. For example:
.tabs {
height: 450px;
}
I don't like this solution as it means you can't have a dynamic height for each tab - all tabs will be the same height. If your first tab had only a few lines of text and your 2nd one had many paragraphs, the whole thing would just look weird, or you would have a large gap under the tab group.
So what are your other options? Ditch pure CSS tabs and use jQuery. Honestly, I spent hours and hours researching pure CSS tabs trying to find/create some that were practical and functional, and I concluded it just isn't feasible. Pure CSS tabs are just gimmicks and a brilliant example of the power of CSS, but I do not believe they have any practical use in a production environment.
EDIT: It just occurred to me you probably CAN use JS to get your tabs to work how you want, but if you're going to go down that route, why not just use JS tabs?

Background image not displaying on a link in navbar

I've got an image of a house I want to display on my navbar as the 'home' link. I've entered some CSS to implement this but it doesn't seem to work. Could anyone help me display the image? See the image and CSS code below for clarification.
The light blue box is where the little white house should be. See below for CSS
html, body
{
padding: 0;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
.navbar
{
height: 48px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #294052;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
li
{
display: inline;
position: relative;
padding: 20px;
border-right: inset 2px white;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: normal;
font-family: sans-serif;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-top: 31px;
padding-bottom: 14px;
}
a
{
text-decoration: none;
color: white;
}
li:hover
{
text-decoration: underline;
background-color: #447294;
}
li.home
{
background-color: #447294;
background-image: url('home.png');
}
span
{
font-weight: bold;
}
I've tried using the display:block fix but it just messes up the rest of my navbar.
And the HTML code...
<div class="navbar">
<ul>
<li class="home"></li>
<li>ABOUT</li>
<li>CyMAL: MUSEUMS, ARCHIVES AND LIBRARIES</li>
<li>CONTACT</li>
</ul>
</div>
To start debugging, I'd first try to use absolute URL to make sure that the image can be loaded.
li.home
{
background-color: #447294;
background-image: url('full_path_to_image/home.png');
}
Also, please provide HTML code, ideally make a ready demo at http://jsfiddle.net/ (or any other similar service). That way you'll we can help you better.
EDIT: After you have added the HTML code, the problem seems to be indeed the path to your image.
Here is a working demo: http://jsfiddle.net/tBNSU/
Your background image is present in li.home; but li.home isn't wide enough to display anything. Background images are like background color - they won't change the shape of the content.
Try adding some content:
<li class="home">home</li>
Or change the alignment of your bg image to center center to perhaps see it more clearly.

Image Change with Mouse Hover

I have some links to my facebook and twitter, these links are images. I want these links to turn lighter when I hover over them. I was thinking I could do this by making two images and making the images change when I hover over the image link. Is this the best way to do it and if it is how do i do it? I couldn't find any help on how to do it this way.
Here is my HTML:
<div class="social">
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/seth.urquhart?sk=wall&v=wall">
<img src="../img/facebook_logo_extended.jpg"/>
</a>
</div>
<br>
<div class="social">
<a href="https://twitter.com/SethUrquhart">
<img src="../img/twitter_logo_extended.jpg"/>
</a>
</div>
Here is my CSS:
p {
color: #232323;
text-indent:0px;
margin-left:30px;
padding-right: 30px;
}
ul {
text-align: center;
color: gray;
}
ul a {
text-decoration: none;
color: black;
}
ul a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
html {
background: #e8e9e1;
}
h1 {
text-align: center;
}
body {
font-family: sans-serif;
color: #232323;
}
.wrap {
min-width: 600px;
width: 1200px;
margin: auto;
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
background-color: none;
}
.content {
background: #ffffff;
width: 900px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right:auto;
height: auto;
text-indent: 50px;
}
.footer {
text-align: center;
background-color: #383838;
width: 900px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
color: #e8e9e1;
}
.social {
width: 900px;
margin: auto;
height: 100px;
text-align: center;
background-color: none;
}
.social:hover {
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background:#cccccc;
color:#000;
}
ul#list-nav {
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 605px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
ul#list-nav li {
display:inline;
}
ul#list-nav li a {
text-decoration:none;
padding:5px 0;
width:150px;
background:#383838;
color:#eee;
float:left;
border-left:1px solid #fff;
}
ul#list-nav li a:hover {
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background:#cccccc;
color:#000;
}
Assuming you're willing to use CSS3, I created an example showing one way to get a brief widening effect for the icons (I suppose that is what "dense" means in the question). Reduced code here:
.icon {
-webkit-transition: 0.25s;
transition: 0.25s;
}
.icon:hover {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
transform: scale(1.7);
-ms-transform: scale(1.7); /* IE 9 */
-webkit-transform: scale(1.7); /* Safari and Chrome */
}
The transform property has good support. The effect with transition isn't so well supported (no IE9 support), but if you are thinking on graceful degration, I think it's quite valid to use that.
EDIT
I'm updating this answer because it could help other people in future. The accepted answer isn't the right approach, since it's using obtrusive JavaScript to do things about styling, where CSS is the right tool. I really hope the OP will take a look here and change their code.
Based on the OP's feedback, I updated the example showing how to get a brightness effect simulated by changing the opacity property with a fallback using filter for IE6-8. In short, here's the code:
.icon {
opacity: 1;
filter: Alpha(Opacity=100);
}
.icon:hover {
opacity: .6;
filter: Alpha(Opacity=60);
}
It's easy and works very well when the parent's background-color is lighter than the element. If you need something more elaborated (if you really want changing between two images), I really suggests you to use CSS sprites.
I don't know what you mean by dense, but you can alter any image property via the onmouseover and restore it with onmouseout. Here's a code snippet to show how to do it. This code simply makes an image dimmer when the mouse is over it, then restores it when the mouse leaves:
<img
src = "test.jpg"
style = "width:50%;"
id = "test"
onmouseover = "document.getElementById('test').style.opacity=0.5"
onmouseout = "document.getElementById('test').style.opacity=1" />
If you wanted to make the images bigger on the hover, you'd change any of the size attributes. For instance, here's a particularly dramatic size jump:
<img
src = "test.jpg"
style = "width:50%;"
id = "test"
onmouseover = "document.getElementById('test').style.width='75%'"
onmouseout = "document.getElementById('test').style.width='50%'" />
Please note that the above is for illustrative purposes only. There are other ways of doing this, and I am not saying the way I presented is the best or even a good one. However, it's clear and I just want you to clearly see how this can be done.
The simpliest solution would probably for you to use background-images rather than images so you can just switch between them. You can even go as far as creating 3 states this way.. inactive, hover, and selected..
Consider cascades and specificity.. If you define your inactive state first, hover state is defined second overwriting the same definitions, selected state is defined last, again with the same definitions and level of specificity. Now each will overwrite the other in the appropriate or they will happen.
An image
div { background:url('http://www.placehold.it/200x200/f2f2f2') no-repeat; }
On hover display a different image
div:hover { background:url('http://www.placehold.it/200x200/666666') no-repeat; }
If the element is an anchor or has some onclick function defined with it.. display a different image on select with a new class
div.selected { background:url('http://www.placehold.it/200x200/000000') no-repeat; }

CSS Overridden: Why Doesn't Search Box Float right?

I'm at a total loss on why I can't align the Search box to the left
The Search and RSS feed align on the test page:
http://scottjaxon.com/devsite/testnivo48.html
As it is on the home page (with a pic instead of nivo slider)
http://scottjaxon.com/devsite/index.html
I don't get it. I gotta be missing the smallest thing!
#wrapper #user1 #feahome #searchhome {
float: right;
color: #FFFFFF;
height: 22px;
margin-top: 8px;
padding: 0px 20px 0px 20px;
Or is it something with the NivoSlider CSS?
.nivoSlider {
position:relative;
width:100%;
height:auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
.nivoSlider img {
position:absolute;
top:0px;
left:0px;
}
.nivo-main-image {
display: block !important;
position: relative !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
Your index.html and testnivo48.html have different dom structures.
In index.html, the feahome div tag is the parent of rsshome and searchhome div tags; but in the testnivo48.html, they are all on the same level.
That's why the following css rule (in http://scottjaxon.com/devsite/css/style.css) gets applied on index.html, but ignored in testnivo48.html
#wrapper #user1 #feahome #searchhome {
...
}
After you fix the html, your problem might get solved.
I was looking at the CSS for both and the only thing I saw that was different in your
CSS compared to the CSS for http://scottjaxon.com/devsite/index.html is this:
#wrapper #user1 #feahome #searchhome {
float: LEFT; // the working version has it floated left as well
color: #FFFFFF;
height: 22px;
margin-top: 8px;
padding: 0px 20px 0px 20px;
Give it a shot and see if that works.
It may be a prioritizing problem. Using div#searchhome will give it a higher priority.

CSS To Add Underline After Header Content

Problem
I am working on a project to theme a website, but I am not allowed to change the HTML or JavaScript. I can only update the CSS stylesheet and add/update images.
Requrements
I need to style a h3 tag to have an
underline/border after the content.
This h3 will be used multiple times
on the page, so the conent length can
vary
The solution needs to be
cross-browser (IE 6/7/8, FF 3, &
Safari)
Sample Code
<div class="a">
<div class="b"><!-- etc --></div>
<div class="c">
<h3>Sample Text To Have Line Afterwards</h3>
<ul><!-- etc --></ul>
<p class="d"><!-- etc --></p>
</div>
</div>
Sample Output
Sample Text to Have Line Afterwards ______________________________________
Another Example __________________________________________________________
And Yet Another Example __________________________________________________
Notes
I think #sample:after { content: "__________"; } option wouldn't work since that would only be the correct length for one of the tags
I tried a background-image, but if it gave me problems if I gave it one with a large width
Using text-indent didn't see to give me the effect I was looking for
I tried a combination of border-bottom and text-decoration: none, but that didn't seem to work either
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
This will work if class 'c' is always the parent of the h3...
.c {
position: relative;
margin-top: 25px;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
padding: 0px;
}
h3 {
font-size:20px;
margin-top: 0px;
position: absolute;
top: -18px;
background: #fff;
}
It lets the container have the border, then uses absolute positioning to move the h3 over it, and the background color lets it blot out the portion of c's border that it's covering.
try attaching a background image to class c of a repeating underline, then add a background color to the h3 to match the background of the container. I believe that you would have to float the h3 left in order to get the width to collapse. does that make sense?
.c {
background: #ffffff url(underline.gif) left 20px repeat-x;
}
.c h3 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 2px 0;
float: left;
font-size: 20px;
background: #ffffff;
}
.c h3 { display: inline; background-color: white; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1em; }
.c ul { margin-top: -1px; border-top: 1px solid; padding-top: 1em; /* simulate margin with padding */ }
http://besh.dwich.cz/tmp/h3.html
H3 {
border: 1px solid red;
border-width: 0 0 1px 0;
text-indent: -60px;
}
You need to know the width of the text, but works pretty well.
The only solution I've imagined so far is to make a PNG or GIF image, with 1px height and a very large width (depends on your project, could be like 1x2000px), and do something like this:
h3#main-title { background: url(line.png) no-repeat bottom XYZem; }
where the XYZ you'd set manually, for each title, in 'em' units. But I can't figure out a 100% dynamic solution for this one, without using JS or adding extra markup.
this worked for me
div.c
{
background-image:url(line.gif);background-repeat:repeat-x;width:100%;height:20px;
}
div.c h3
{
height:20px;background-color:white;display:inline;
}
you make the div the width of your content
then you set the background of the h3 to the background of your page. this will then overlap the background imageof the full div. You might want to play with background positioning depending on your image
Can you pad content in the UL tags? If so, this might work:
h3 { display: inline; margin: 0; padding: 0 10px 0 0; float: left;}
ul { display: inline; border-bottom: 1px solid black; }
check source code of: http://nonlinear.cc/lab/friends/elijahmanor.html
then again i have NO IDEA how to control the end of the line.
Assuming that you're working with dynamic content, the best I could suggest is to accept graceful degradation and use a mix of great_llama and Bohdan Ganicky
Imagine:
A long title that will wrap to two lines___________________
and leave you like this in great_llama's solution
and nothing appearing at all with Bohdan Ganicky's solution if ul isn't immediate preceded by ul.
Solution:
.c h3 { display: inline; background-color: white; margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1em; }
.c + * { margin-top: -1px; border-top: 1px solid; padding-top: 1em; /* simulate margin with padding */ }
We care about IE6, but accept that this is an aesthetic touch and IE6 users will not suffer. If you can't get the designer to accept this AND you can't alter the HTML, then do something else (before you find another job ;))
Here's a better answer:
.c {
background: url('line.png') repeat-x 0 20px;
}
H3 {
background-color: white;
display: inline;
position: relative;
top: 1px;
}
Use a small, 1px height, couple px wide image as your underline and occlude it with a background color on your H3.
h3:after {
content: '___________';
}
