I'm new to CSS. i have page with site css(style.css) that have all the basic tag css example
body{color:#c2c2c2}
h2{ color:green;padding-5px }
span{ color:blue;border:1px solid #b4b4b4 }
I need to remove this css for selected div
<div class="remove"><h3>Test</h3><span>This sample text for the css remove</span></div>
for remove class clear all the default site css.
You can override the global styles.
body{color: red}
h2{ color: green;padding: 5px }
span{ color: blue;border: 1px solid black }
/*Overriding global styles*/
.remove h2 {color: yellow !important;padding:0 !important}
.remove span {color: gray !important;border-color:yellow !important}
give class name to each and every div tag in which you want to add css and make a div class's css
div.add
{
/* insert css */
}
give class="add" to that css in which you want to add css
Removing style is not a concept instead you can override the css styling.
Then you need to define style properties for the "remove" class. How you want to display it.

This is my css file, till now I have made a simple navigation bar.
But the point is for my <a> elements in the navigation bar, when I try to style them both in case a and a:hover they work only when I give !important. What is happening. Is there a specificity issue ?
#import url('http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato');
.navbar {
background-color: #b6b5b4;
border-style: solid;
}
.container {
background-color: #bfbfbf;
}
body {
font-family: Lato;
}
a {
color: black !important;
font-weight: bold;
}
.navbar-right {
background-color: #aeaeae;
}
a:hover {
background-color: #dfdfdf !important;
}
I am new to css and html.
You imported Bootstrap, which has default CSS styling. What you're basically doing, is trying to overwrite those styles. However, Bootstrap seems to be taking precedence over your CSS (probably due to the order of the imports in your HTML file), thus requiring !important. The !important tag makes sure that, that particular style cannot be overwritten or, is always displayed over others.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap.min.css">
If your ordering is like this, Bootstrap styling will be displayed, unless you use !important.
What is happening is parent divs like .container (may be, dont have your html structure) is having background-color css. This css will override the hover css on child <a> element. !important keyword is made only for this purpose. It does not allow other styles to override itself. Thats why you should use !important keyword in such cases.
a:hover { background: #dfdfdf !important;}
use this one
You have default css file with styles with its nesting! quick fix for this issue: assign class for <a> with your styles!
a.my-class {
color: black;
font-weight: bold;
}
a.my-class:hover {
background-color: #dfdfdf;
}
Yes, If u give like this
a {
background-color: black !important;
}
!important overrides the hover state styles also.
a {
background-color: dfdfdf;
}
doesn't work.
give your style like this
a {
background-color: black;
}
//remove !important
remove !important from <a> tag. Hover state works normally.
Let me know if u get any errors.
I have this div:
<div dir="ltr"></div>
That is generated automatically via imap_ function, and therefore I am not able to assign any style to it with the style="" tag.
My question is, how can I assign styles to the div above?
An attribute selector works well if you just want to style this specific element:
div[dir="ltr"] {
/* Styles */
}
Have you tried to use CSS for this?
div {
color: #cecece; /* change the color */
}
http://jsfiddle.net/afzaal_ahmad_zeeshan/wxft9/
[dir='ltr'] {
color: #cecece;
}
or with div - div[dir='ltr']
http://jsfiddle.net/aLvZk/
Try this:
CSS:
div[dir='ltr']
{
/*Styles*/
}

How do I need to change my CSS style to change the background color of these buttons from green to some other color?
I tried this CSS code, but it did not change the button styles:
.next {
background-color: #ecf0f1;
color: #2d525d;
}
Thank you!
You need to overwrite the css codes:
.next a {
background-color: #ecf0f1 !important;
color: #2d525d !important;
}
Edit: The color and background-color styles are for "a" element inside the li.
you can also add !important to your custom css
.next {
background-color: #ecf0f1 !important;
color: #2d525d;
}
Use
!important
after you css but before ;
It pretty much means ignore anything else and use THIS !important
you will need to use this to break out of default styling in some frameworks, its also useful for media queries.
How can I override an inline CSS rule with using an external stylesheet file?
This is my HTML code:
<div class="mydiv" style="background:#000"> lorem ipsom</div>
I want to change the background color using CSS. This is my CSS code:
.mydiv {background:#f00; color: #000;}
But this is not working, but I this is possible.
Is there a way to change the background color in Internet Explorer?
This is very simple. Use !important after your rule style. Here is the example:
.mydiv {background:#f00 !important; color: #000;}
URL: http://jsfiddle.net/msJxL/
And for Internet Explorer, check out How To Create an IE-Only Stylesheet | CSS-Tricks.
Inline style is treated as having a higher specificity than any rule-set.
The only ways to override it are to change it on the element or use an !important rule.
!important rules are a sledgehammer of a solution and only work once (if you want to override again, you are stuck; there is no such thing as a double !important rule), so changing the style attribute value (preferably removing it entirely in favour of a stylesheet) is the best option.
If you really want to use !important then the syntax is:
.mydiv {
background:#f00 !important;
color: #000;
}
Use the !important for this. It will override other CSS. Try the following code:
.mydiv {background:#f00 !important; color: #000;}
Use this:
.mydiv {
background: #f00 !important;
/* This will increase the rule score */
color: #000;
}
Detailed information: Stack Overflow question How can I override inline styles with external CSS?.
You can use the CSS attribute selector:
<style>
div[style] {
background: blue !important;
}
</style>
<div style="background: red;">
The inline styles.
</div>
<style>
.btn{
display: inline-block;
padding: 15px 10px;
background: gray;
}
.btn:hover{
background:lightgray;
color:red;
}
</style>
<div class="btn">
text
</div>
works nicely. However if we have that:
<div class="btn">
text
</div>
it wouldn't work exactly as the first one. The anchor's text wouldn't be affected. Okay what if we add to the CSS:
.btn a:hover{
background:lightgray;
color:red;
}
That will work, but only if you hover exactly on the anchor, but still hover on the div rectangle wouldn't affect the anchor's text.
How can I tweak that without any javascript, so both rectangles acted identically?
http://jsfiddle.net/vaNJD/
UPD: adding !important keyword wouldn't help
Because all web browsers set a default color (and text-decoration) for a elements, you need a more specific selector to override the default. Try this instead:
.btn:hover, .btn:hover a {
background:lightgray;
color:red;
}
If you really want the two boxes to be identical, you would also need to override the un-hovered button as well:
.btn a {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}
It may also be worth pointing out that IE6 only supports the :hover pseudo-class on a elements. You may want to work around this by setting the a to display: block and adding the background color there.
You can accomplish the same effect by getting rid of the container and applying the .btn class directly to the a element. See the third box in this updated fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mlms13/vaNJD/5/
.btn:hover{
background:lightgray;
color:red;
}
.btn:hover a{
color: red;
}
Change to:
.btn:hover,
.btn:hover a{
background:lightgray;
color:red;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/vaNJD/4/
Like this?
.btn:hover a{
color:red;
}
I found one way in which you should set height for div tag and use it again for anchor tag and set anchor's display properties as block
for example
<style>
.divest
{
height:120px;
}
.divest a
{
display:block;
height:120px;
}
</style>
<div class="divest">here is hyperlink text</div>
