CSS Alternatives to style="display:none" - html

I'm implementing a JSF component base where you must override the css being used or it will use its default css. I'm trying trying to hide the div and I've tried to set the rich-panelbar-header-act class style="display:none", but then it pulls in its default css. Is there any way to add a style attribute to rich-panelbar-header-act (since I have to implement the class) that hides the div? I've included my css and html below
CSS:
element.style {
}

width: 0; height: 0;
or
visibility: hidden;
or
opacity: 0;
or
position: absolute; top: -9999px; left: -9999px;
or just
display: none !important;

I suppose visibility:hidden; will help you. :)

This works for me..
!important can't be used in amp version so instead of display:none; use this:
position: absolute; top: -9999px; left: -9999px;

Use !important to stop it getting overridden -
.rich-panelbar-header-act {
display:none !important;
}
Also you can use JavaScript as a back up -
function hidediv() {
if (document.getElementById) { // DOM3 = IE5, NS6
document.getElementById('DIVIDNAME').style.display = 'none';
}else {
if (document.layers) { // Netscape 4
document.DIVIDNAME.display = 'hidden';
}else { // IE 4
document.all.DIVIDNAME.style.display = 'none';
}}}
</script>

You can do this in 2 ways:
Using more attributes
You can simply just use this: [edit: Add all possible]
display: none!important;visibility: hidden!important;position: absolute!important; top: -9999px!important; left: -9999px !important;opacity: 0 !important;width: 0 !important; height: 0!important;filter: blur(10000px)!important;pointer-events: none!important;
This solution is the one I recommend most
Using the !important element
display:none!important

This question has already been answered, though the original answer has a couple flaws that I see... while they get the element visually off the screen, web accessibility guidelines suggest not using a couple of them.
To provide a simpler, better answer, visibilty: hidden; would be an option, though if you need the space that element was inhabiting, display: none !important; would be your best option. The tag !important should override other CSS elements that are acting on that <div>.
As stated above, simple moving the element visually off the page (e.g. position: absolute; top: -9999px; left: -9999px;) is not considered best practice per web accessibility guidelines as most e-readers will still read whatever text you have in the element, and keyboard users will potentially be able to navigate to that element, even though it is located 'off the screen'.
I normally use display: none !important if I have other CSS classes acting on an element that I need hidden.

How can I change the height of several classes with one single class?

for all the classes below I have set a fixed height of 120px. Is there a way to control the height of all of them with one single class (class or something else) ?
I know I could do .header, .logo, .etc { height: 120px } and remove the the height from all the individual items but that would still not look like the most efficient solution. Thanks
.header {
width: 100%;
height: 120px;
background: #fff;
color: #124191;
font-weight: 300;
font-size: 28px;
display: table;
position: fixed;
z-index: 999999;
}
.logo {
vertical-align: middle;
line-height: 120px; /* this is set to same height as the div */
left:0;
height:120px;
color: #333;
font-size: 30px;
font-weight: 800;
letter-spacing: -1px;
margin-left: 60px;
}
.drop_menu {
background:red;
padding:0;
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
height:120px;
right: 0;
display: table;
z-index: 3000;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
right: 0;
}
You're going to have to use javascript for this, because CSS simply won't cover the type of interaction you want. First of all, if you want to set the height of several classes to one value simultaneously, you have two options:
Change the height of every single class using Javascript or jQuery. For example: $(".header, .logo, .dropmenu").height("80px");.
Make toggle a new class that applies to all elements. For example, if your class was defined as newClass {height: 80px;}, then you could do $(".header, .logo, .dropmenu").toggleClass("newClass");
See this link for more info about multiple selectors, and this link for more info about changing height, and finally this link for more info about toggling a class with jQuery. Of course, there are ways of doing this with just stock Javascript, but I personally prefer jQuery because it simplifies everything up a lot.
As for applying a class when scrolled to a certain height the following code or something similar could suffice:
$(".header, .logo, .dropmenu").scroll(function(){
if ($(".header, .logo, .dropmenu").scrollTop > 20){
$(".header, .logo, .dropmenu").toggleClass("newClass");
}
});
you can give one class to all three elements in html like
<div class="logo some_other_class">
<div class="header some_other_class">
<div class="dropmenu some_other_class">
and if you are using jquery you can change height like:
$(".some_other_class").css("height", "80px");

reCaptcha container not loading correctly

For some strange reason my reCaptcha container block appears to be broken. I suspect it could be a style I set which it does not like, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what it is.
The link to the project is http://www.nbwindscreenrepairs.com/keytosuccess/
You will notice that the individual blocks appear to be shifted.
Any ideas?
Answer from another forum:
span#recaptcha_privacy {
display:none;
}
which removes the link to this page: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/
Please try this:
.recaptchatable .recaptcha_r8_c1, .recaptchatable .recaptcha_r7_c1 {
background-position-x: -43px;
background-position-y: -52px;
height: 5px;
}
img#recaptcha_reload, img#recaptcha_whatsthis_btn {
height: 17px !important;
}
img#recaptcha_switch_audio {
height: 18px !important;
}
Preserve the !important to override the inline style.
Here is the result:
Don't really remember the source of this code. But it resolved the problem.
<style type="text/css">
#recaptcha_area input[type="text"] {
display: inline-block;
height: auto;
}
</style>
Place in the file where recaptcha present.
Hope it helps.
Though I am late to the party , Here's wat worked for me,The code below solved my issue
<style type="text/css">
.recaptchatable .recaptcha_input_area #recaptcha_response_field{
margin: 0 !important;
top: 12px !important;
padding: 2px !important;
}
</style>

Div is unable to be made into link, any alternatives for XHTML strict?

My inaugural post here, hope you all can help. :)
I have been working on creating a pure XHTML strict website no images but the products however I'm in a small jam. I can't seem to find a way to make the a button that appears as such as shown here:
Where it has a hover state, rectangle and currently is
<div class="topprodcartadd">Add to Cart</div>
I made a little CSS class that looks like this:
.topprodcartadd {
width: 190px;
height: 50px;
background-color: #000;
margin: 10px 0px;
padding:0px 10px 10px 0px;
float: left;
text-align: right;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.topprodcartadd:hover {
background-color: #00a7e6;
}
.topprodcartadd a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #00a7e6;
}
.topprodcartadd a:hover {
color: #fff;
}
I want to make it link somehow but in XHTML Strict it gives me validation errors when I rock the code like this:
<div class="topprodcartadd">Add to Cart</div>
So does anyone have any other ideas on what I can do to make the button appear that way?
Thanks!
Change your CSS for the anchor to:
.topprodcartadd a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #00a7e6;
display:block;
width: 190px;
height: 50px;
}
jsFiddle example
I added display:block and a width and height so that the link takes up all the room in the div.
So, if I get your problem right:
1) you can set display: block for a so it fill the parent element.
2) are you sure that you need XHTML Strict?
If you simple need mouse cursor to change into a hand, just add cursor:pointer to your DIV's style, you don't have to use an anchor.

Tooltips for mobile browsers [duplicate]

I currently set the title attribute of some HTML if I want to provide more information:
<p>An <span class="more_info" title="also called an underscore">underline</span> character is used here</p>
Then in CSS:
.more_info {
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
}
Works very nice, visual indicator to move the mouse over and then a little popup with more information. But on mobile browsers, I don't get that tooltip. title attributes don't seem to have an effect. What's the proper way to give more information on a piece of text in a mobile browser? Same as above but use Javascript to listen for a click and then display a tooltip-looking dialog? Is there any native mechanism?
You can fake the title tooltip behavior with Javascript. When you click/tab on an element with a title attribute, a child element with the title text will be appended. Click again and it gets removed.
Javascript (done with jQuery):
$("span[title]").click(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".title");
if (!$title.length) {
$(this).append('<span class="title">' + $(this).attr("title") + '</span>');
} else {
$title.remove();
}
});​
CSS:
.more_info {
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
position: relative;
}
.more_info .title {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
background: silver;
padding: 4px;
left: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/xaAN3/
Here is a CSS only solution. (Similar to #Jamie Pate 's answer, but without the JavaScript.)
We can use the pseudo class :hover, but I'm not sure all mobile browsers apply these styles when the element is tapped. I'm using pseudo class :focus because I'm guessing it's safer. However, when using pseudo class :focus we need to add tabindex="0" to elements that don't have a focus state intrinsically.
I'm using 2 #media queries to ensure all mobile devices are targeted. The (pointer: coarse) query will target any device that the primary input method is something "coarse", like a finger. And the (hover: none) query will target any device that the primary pointing system can't hover.
This snippet is all that's needed:
#media (pointer: coarse), (hover: none) {
[title] {
position: relative;
display: inline-flex;
justify-content: center;
}
[title]:focus::after {
content: attr(title);
position: absolute;
top: 90%;
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid;
width: fit-content;
padding: 3px;
}
}
/*Semantic Styling*/
body {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
text-align: center;
height: 100vh;
}
a {
height: 40px;
width: 200px;
background: #fa4766;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px;
box-sizing: border-box;
border-radius: 10px;
}
/*Functional Styling*/
#media (pointer: coarse), (hover: none) {
[title] {
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
[title]:focus::after {
content: attr(title);
position: absolute;
top: 90%;
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid;
width: fit-content;
padding: 3px;
}
}
<a title="this is the Title text" tabindex="0">Tag with Title</a>
Obviously, you'll need to open this on a mobile device to test it.
Here is a Pen with the same code.
Given that a lot of people nowadays (2015) use mobile browsers, and title still hasn't found a form of exposure in mobile browsers, maybe it's time to deprecate reliance upon title for meaningful information.
It should never be used for critical information, but it is now becoming dubious for useful information, because if that information is useful and cannot be shown to half the users, then another way of showing it to almost all users needs to be found.
For static pages, perhaps some visible text near to the relevant control, even as fine print. For server-generated pages, browser sniffing could provide that only for mobile browsers. On the client side, javascript could be used to trap the focus event, via bubbling, to show the extra text next to the currently focussed element. That would minimise the screen space taken up, but would not necessarily be of much use, since, in a lot of instances, bringing focus to a control can only be done in a way that immediately activates its action, bypassing the ability to find out about it before using it!
Over all though, it appears that the difficulties of showing the title attribute on mobile devices, may lead to its demise, mostly due to needing an alternative that is more universal. That is a pity, because mobiles could use a way to show such extra info on-demand, without taking up the limited screen space.
It seems strange that the w3c and mobile browser makers did not do anything about this issue a long time ago. At least they could have displayed the title text on top of the menu that appears when a long press on a control is made.
Personally, I wish it was placed at the top of a right-click/long-touch menu, as it won't timeout, and would be available on all browsers.
The other alternative is to construct footnotes, so an [n] type superscript is put next to the element/text needing more info, linking to explanatory text in a list at the bottom of the page. Each of those can have a similar [n] type link back to the original text/element. That way, it keeps the display uncluttered, but provides easy bidirectional swapping in a simple way. Sometimes, old print media ways, with a little hyperlink help, are best.
The title attribute has been hijacked by some browsers to provide help text for the pattern attribute, in that its text pops up if the pattern doesn't match the text in the input element. Typically, it is to provide examples of the right format.
Slightly more elaborated version of flavaflo's answer:
Uses pre-defined div as pop-up that can hold HTML, rather than reading from a title attribute
Opens/closes on rollover if mouse is used
Opens on click (touch screen) and closes on click on the open pop-up or anywhere else on the document.
HTML:
<span class="more_info">Main Text<div class="popup">Pop-up text can use <b>HTML</b><div></span>
CSS:
.more_info {
border-bottom: 1px dotted #000;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
}
.more_info .popup {
position: absolute;
top: 15px; /*must overlap parent element otherwise pop-up doesn't stay open when rolloing over '*/
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 8px;
left: 0;
max-width: 240px;
min-width: 180px;
z-index: 100;
display: none;
}
JavaScript / jQuery:
$(document).ready(function () {
//init pop-ups
$(".popup").attr("data-close", false);
//click on pop-up opener
//pop-up is expected to be a child of opener
$(".more_info").click(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".popup");
//open if not marked for closing
if ($title.attr("data-close") === "false") {
$title.show();
}
//reset popup
$title.attr("data-close", false);
});
//mark pop-up for closing if clicked on
//close is initiated by document.mouseup,
//marker will stop opener from re-opening it
$(".popup").click(function () {
$(this).attr("data-close",true);
});
//hide all pop-ups
$(document).mouseup(function () {
$(".popup").hide();
});
//show on rollover if mouse is used
$(".more_info").mouseenter(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".popup");
$title.show();
});
//hide on roll-out
$(".more_info").mouseleave(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".popup");
$title.hide();
});
});

As #cimmanon mentioned: span[title]:hover:after { content: attr(title) } gives you a rudimentary tooltip on touch screen devices. Unfortunately this has problems where the default ui behavior on touch screen devices is to select the text when any non-link/uicontrol is pressed.
To solve the selection problem you can add span[title] > * { user-select: none} span[title]:hover > * { user-select: auto }
A full solution may use some other techniques:
Add position: absolute background, border, box-shadow etc to make it look like a tooltip.
Add the class touched to body (via js) when the user uses any touch event.
Then you can do body.touched [title]:hover ... without affecting desktop users
document.body.addEventListener('touchstart', function() {
document.body.classList.add('touched');
});
[title] {
border-bottom: 1px dashed rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
border-radius:2px;
position: relative;
}
body.touched [title] > * {
user-select: none;
}
body.touched [title]:hover > * {
user-select: auto
}
body.touched [title]:hover:after {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
right: -10%;
content: attr(title);
border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px;
padding: 0.3em;
z-index: 1;
}
<div>Some text where a portion has a <span title="here's your tooltip">tooltip</span></div>
Depending on how much information you want to give the user, a modal dialogue box might be an elegant solution.
Specifically, you could try the qTip jQuery plugin, which has a modal mode fired on $.click():
The title attribute is not supported in any mobile browsers **in a way that it would show the tooltip the same as to desktop mouse users** *(the attribute itself is ofcourse supported in the markup)*.
It's only basically for desktop users with a mouse, keyboard only users can't use it either, or screenreaders.
You can achieve almost similar with javascript as you said.
I was searching for an easy CSS only solution, and this is really the most easy one I found:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/balloon-css/balloon.min.css">
<span aria-label="Whats up!" data-balloon-pos="up">Hover me!</span>
Working example: https://jsfiddle.net/5pcjbnwg/
If you want to customize the tooltip, you find more info here:
https://kazzkiq.github.io/balloon.css/
To avoid using JavaScript, I used this CSS-only tooltip:
http://www.menucool.com/tooltip/css-tooltip
It works great in Mobile and Desktop, and you can customize the styles.
Thanks to #flavaflo for their answer. This works in most cases but if there is more than one title to lookup in the same paragraph, and one opens over the link to another, the unopened link shows through the first. This can be solved by dynamically changing the z-index of the title that has "popped up":
$("span[title]").click(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".title");
if (!$title.length) {
$(this).append('<span class="title">' + $(this).attr("title") + '</span>');
$(this).css('z-index', 2);
} else {
$title.remove();
$(this).css('z-index', 0);
}
});​
Also, you can make both the hover over display and the click display multiline by adding
(linefeed) to the title='' attribute, and then convert that to <br /> for the html click display:
$(this).append('<span class="title">' + $(this).attr("title").replace(/\\n/g, '<br />') + '</span>');
Extremely late to the party but for future visitors, here is a tweak of #Flavaflo's answer to fade the "tooltip" in and out
JQuery:
$(".more_info").click(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".title");
if (!$title.length) {
$(this).append('<span class="title">' + $(this).attr("title") + '</span>');
} else {
$($title).fadeOut(250, function() {
$title.remove();
});
}
});
CSS:
.more_info {
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
position: relative;
}
.more_info .title {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
background: green;
padding: 4px;
left: 0;
color: white;
white-space: nowrap;
border-radius:3px;
animation: fadeIn linear 0.15s;
}
#keyframes fadeIn {
0% {opacity:0;}
100% {opacity:1;}
}

I know this is an old question, but i have found a CSS solution that works on mobile too, it doesn't use title at all and it's easy to implement, explained here:
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_tooltip.asp
Explanation:
On mobile, with the touchscreen,the first input acts as css hover, so it works like a toggle tooltip when you press on it.
Code example:
.tooltip {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
border-bottom: 2px dotted #666;
}
.tooltip .tooltiptext {
visibility: hidden;
width: 15em;
background-color: #555;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 6px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
bottom: 125%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -8em;
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 0.3s;
padding: 0.5em;
}
.tooltip .tooltiptext::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -5px;
border-width: 5px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #555 transparent transparent transparent;
}
.tooltip:hover .tooltiptext {
visibility: visible;
opacity: 1;
}
<div class="tooltip">Hover over me
<span class="tooltiptext">Tooltip text</span>
</div>

Background CSS image no showing in IE7 only

The html is:
<div class="choose-os">
<p>
Microsoft Windows
Apple Mac OS
</p>
</div>
The CSS is:
.choose-os {
margin: 20px 0;
padding: 20px;
background: #e7eefa;
}
.choose-os p {
margin: 0;
}
.choose-os p a {
display: inline-block;
text-indent: -100000px;
height: 56px;
width: 308px;
}
.choose-os p a.windows {
background: url(../images/button-windows-bg.png) 0 0;
}
.choose-os p a.macos {
background: url(../images/button-macos-bg.png) 0 0;
}
.choose-os p a:hover {
background-position: 0 -56px;
}
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as to have the background image also appear on IE7.
The text-indent: -100000px; in combination with inline-block is what's causing the two elements to not be visible in IE7, due to a bug.
You need to find some other way to hide the text for IE7 (or not use inline-block at all, see below for this more suitable fix).
Options include the method in the comment by #Sotiris, or:
.choose-os p a {
display: inline-block;
height: 56px;
width: 308px;
text-indent: -100000px;
/* for ie7 */
*text-indent: 0;
*font-size: 0;
*line-height: 0
}
Which uses the *property: value hack several times to hide the text in IE7.
The problem does seem to be related to the use of display: inline-block.
So, another workaround (which I prefer to my previous one) is:
.choose-os {
margin: 20px 0;
padding: 20px;
background: #e7eefa;
overflow: hidden
}
.choose-os p a {
float: left;
margin-right: 4px;
text-indent: -100000px;
height: 56px;
width: 308px;
}
To display inline-block properly in IE7, add the following styles to .choose-os p a
zoom:1
*display:inline
(The star is important! It's ignored by modern browsers, but not IE6/7)
IE7 doesn't respect inline-block, so you have to do a little magic to make it work. There's a great description here: http://blog.mozilla.com/webdev/2009/02/20/cross-browser-inline-block/
[edit] If text-indent is also part of the culprit, you may be better of sticking with display:block and setting float:left on your elements. Probably multiple valid paths to take :)
IE7 has some serious limitations in CSS. I would recommend avoiding the shorthand notation and explicitly declaring each property, then validate the CSS sheet here.
