I have a list in my sidemenu, the settings don't seem to read past the css of the .body class in stylesheet -
ul.develop
{
list-style-type:square;
color: #FFF;
margin:0;
padding:0;
margin-top:0.6cm;
}
li.develop
{
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: normal;
color:#fff;
}
My body class is -
body {
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
}
The list then is defaulting to body class 12px, if I change body to 11px, the list is fine but I want to keep 12px for actual body of main content of copy on site.
I tried using !important but unsure that is correct?
Thanks
I think you may have .develop on ul not li, try putting your font rules on the ul.develop rule as they will apply to the li's underneath.
ul.develop
{
list-style-type:square;
color: #FFF;
margin:0;
padding:0;
margin-top:0.6cm;
font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: normal;
}
Put your 'body' related CSS above/ before the other styles. It reads it top down. Hope that works!

So I'm not unable to use margin that consists of three texts. I tried adding it both in html and css, none of them worked. Am I supposed to format it in a different way?
.middlelectureread {
margin-left: 740px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font: bold;
font-size: 20px;
}
.middlecaptivityread {
margin-left: 210px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font: bold;
font-size: 30px;
}
.middleprotestread {
margin-left: 210px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font: bold;
font-size: 30px;
}
<span class="middlelectureread">READ MORE</span><span class="middlecaptivityread">READ MORE</span><span
class="middleprotestread">READ MORE</span>
Like Neffy wrote you shouldn't use span here. Span element is inline and shouldn't be a container to postion elements. For such things we have divs or HTML5 semantic elements like Section, Header, Footer etc. span can be useful when we want to style for example a part of some text, paragraph.
<p>If you do it you will see a <span class="warning">warning</span>sign</p>
And if we apply color to this span it will work.
Text inside #write is much smaller than inside .sent.
I need them both of equal size.
html{
font-size:62.5%;
}
body{
font-size:1.4em;
}
.sent{
font-size:1.9rem;
}
#write{
font-size:1.9rem;
}
<p class="sent">abc</p>
<textarea id="write">abc</textarea>
set same font-family. textarea has a different font-family than other.
.sent{
font-size:1.9rem;
font-family: Arial;
}
#write{
font-size:1.9rem;
font-family: Arial;
}
jsFiddle
Here's your code: https://jsfiddle.net/s92shahm/
If you inspect each element you will discover the following:
textarea {
font-family: monospace;
border-color: rgb(169, 169, 169);
}
While the paragraph has no font-family definition, meaning it will default to the main font set by your browser or specified by you.
You need to unify the fonts being used by explicitly setting the font-family in use on each. the following:
#write,
.sent {
font-family: 'MyFont', sans-serif;
font-size: 1.9rem;
}
by default textarea has a font-family of BlinkMacSystemFont and font-size: 11px
html{
font-size:62.5%;
}
body{
font-size:1.4em;
}
.sent{
font-size:1.9rem;
font-family:san-serif;
}
#write{
font-size:1.9rem;
font-family:san-serif
}
<p class="sent">abc</p>
<textarea id="write">abc</textarea>
I have the following css that is used to make one link coloured but it applies to all of the links I have. Is there any way to stop this.
This is my css that is getting applied to the links:
a:visited {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #F00;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
}
a:link {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
background-color:#F00;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
}
a:hover {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #CCC;
text-decoration: none;
background-color: #C00;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
}
This is the link that it is suppose to get applied to:
<td>Food</td>
This is the link that I don’t want it to get applied to:
<td class="footer"><b>Top Attractions</b>
You could select your a tag by the href like this:
JSFiddle - DEMO
a[href="Food.html"] {
color: red;
}
Updated: DEMO (with your codes)
Working JSfiddle: demo
I gave the link you wanted to style a class and gave the class a style.
a.food :visited
instead of a:visited
Try this
HTML
<td><a href="Food.html" class="colored>Food</a></td>
CSS
.colored{
color:red;
}
One thing you could do, would be to give the tag an id/class and then refer to that in your css.
You could add a class to the link you want different and style it separately.
HTML:
<td class="footer"><b>Top Attractions</b>
CSS:
a.rides {...}
Apply a class to the links you want to effect:
<a href='food.html' class='apply_to_this'>Food</a>
Then in your CSS:
a:link.apply_to_this{
// your styles
}
You can add a class to the links you wan't to apply this rule, or you can use this rule :
a:not(.footer):link {...}
Rather than stopping it being applied to one link, you need to add a class to that link with additional CSS that overrides the styles you want to change, or (though this is bad practice...) use inline styles on that one link.
Proper solution:
In your CSS
.exception {put css here that will override the general link css, using !important to override it ifnecessary}
In your html
Content here
Quick and dirty solution
Content
Though this way will work, it is rightly frowned upon for accessibility issues.
You can just create a class and apply it to that link like mentioned above or you can just follow through your selectors to tell CSS to apply that link code to only a:links within those selectors like I've posted below:
#mainContainer #footer #etc #etc a:link {
font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-style: italic;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: none;
background-color:#F00;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
z-index:10;
}
PS - Inline styles are very bad practice. It adds tons of extra code that will reduce your rankings for Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. Not to mention it makes code harder to read and more clunky.
I have noticed when I have a <h2> tag directly below an <h1> tag there is a large gap between the two. No padding or margin is set and I've normalised the css using normalize.css. Why does this gap exist?
Fiddle here: fiddle
Here is a screen shot:
html (normalize.css is active on this html)
<div class="header">
<div class="wrapper">
<h1>Portfolio of...</h1>
<h2>Jing Xue</h2>
</div>
</div>
css
.wrapper {
width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
}
/* header ------------------------------------------------------------------ */
.header {
text-align: center;
padding: 40px 0 0 0;
margin-bottom: 40px;
}
.header h1 {
font-family: 'Delius Swash Caps', cursive;
font-size: 250%;
color: rgb(200,50,50);
/* margin-bottom: -50px; */
}
.header h2 {
font-family: 'Playfair Display SC', serif;
font-size: 450%;
color: rgb(59,67,68);
}
Further Question
For what ever the reason for this big gap between "portfolio of..." and "Jing Xue", is the correct way to reduce the gap to give a negative top/bottom margin on the corresponding <h..>?
h1 through h4 tags have a default margin. You need to remove that margin in your CSS.
.header h1 {
font-family: 'Delius Swash Caps', cursive;
font-size: 250%;
color: rgb(200,50,50);
margin:0;
}
.header h2 {
font-family: 'Playfair Display SC', serif;
font-size: 450%;
color: rgb(59,67,68);
margin:0;
}
This is normal behaviour for these elements..
You forgot to take the default margin-top off of your h2 element. Simply add margin-top:0px; to your h2 class.
Here is a working jsFiddle.
Your class should now look like below:
.header h2 {
font-family: 'Playfair Display SC', serif;
font-size: 450%;
color: rgb(59,67,68);
margin-top:0px;
}
Here is an image from W3 regarding some default styles of elements:
See more about default styles of elements here on W3.org.
I have in my CSS:
body
{
font-size: 0.87em;
font-family: Calibri, Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Tahoma, Microsoft Sans Serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #666666;
}
a:link
{
color: rgb(124,71,111);
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited
{
color: rgb(41, 12, 36);
}
a:hover
{
color: rgb(91,25,79);
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active
{
color: #AB6D9C;
}
the question is to the latter tag ".remove-linkcolor"
.remove-linkcolor
{
}
I would like the links to 'a' that is associated with the class '.remove-linkcolor' the following attributes are changed:
The color is the same color of normal text
How to avoid duplication of code and put the same color of another tag?
Remove effects of active, hover normally would, but to continue as a link, so if you click the User, the same is executed.
Not sure I understand your question 2. However, I think this is the answer you need:
The only way to remove duplication of code in CSS is through combined selectors, something like:
body {
font-size: 0.87em;
font-family: Calibri, Arial, Georgia, Verdana, Tahoma, Microsoft Sans Serif;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body, .remove-linkcolor {
color: #666666;
}
But then you end up repeating the selector, often. The only other way is not to do CSS: use SASS or similar CSS compiler.
