bgcolor attribute - html

Havin a table with kind of
<tr bgcolor="#aacbdd">
And I use reset.css which says
...td { background: transparent; ....
And this rule removes all backgrounds set in bgcolor attribute.
But I can't just refuse using reset.css
And I can't change HTML (there are tons of plain HTML in the site like this)
Goal is to save these bgcolor backgrounds.
I tried
.ololo tr
{
background: inherit;
}
But no use. How do I?

If you only have a few colors, you can use an attribute selector:
[bgcolor="#aacbdd"] {
background: #aacbdd;
}
[bgcolor="#c73cab"] {
background: #c73cab;
}
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/JN3wW/
If you have many many different colors, this can get unwieldy. I'd advise you to rely on JavaScript for that. Here's an example using jQuery:
$('tr[bgcolor]').css('background-color', function () {
return $.attr(this, 'bgcolor');
});
Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/JN3wW/4/

You're using a CSS/Stylesheet reset, and in stylesheets, the latest definition will be used.
So try setting the style property of the tr rather than the element attribute.
<tr style="background-color:#aacbdd;">

SASS extend from root only

I recently encountered a.. "thing" in the land of SASS. And maybe you guys know a trick or something alike to "fix" it.
I've got this class .icon. It contains some basic styling for my icons (Used for an iconfont). These icons can then be placed in the markup whereever I want. For example in a button. But inside the button this icon needs some extra styling. So I do the following:
.icon {
// Basic styling
}
button {
.icon {
// Additional styling
}
}
It compiles to this css:
.icon {
// Basic styling
}
button .icon {
// Additional styling
}
Everything OK so far. But now I want to extend the .icon to an after-element inside of all my .foo elements like so:
.foo:after {
#extend .icon;
}
Now it compiles to this css:
.icon, .foo:after { // This is good, exactly what I want
// Basic styling
}
button .icon, button .foo:after { // But I don't need the second half of this line
// Basic Additional
}
Now the foo-element isn't just extending the "root" icon-class but also the icon-class under button and all its additional stylings. But I don't need that. I don't want that element to have that additional styling. It doesn't result in problems yet. But maybe that could happen later. So I was curious if it is possible to extend only the .icon from the root, omitting the nested .icon in the button, and possibly more nested icon-classes in other elements later on.
My first thought was to use an abstact class like %icon and extend from that, but the above mentioned icon-class, and the file that it is placed in, is generated by grunt-webfont. So I can't just change the icon-class styling 'cause its overwritten all the time.
What can I do? Is there some more to the extend function of SASS that I don't know of? Or is there a totally different way?
Thanks for any help.
SOLUTION:
Using all the awesome help and tips I found a way to avoid this problem:
Grunt-Webfont suggests to use the i-tag to display the icons. Font-Awesome does the same. So, I'm doing exactly that. And I usually don't use it for anything else.
This allows it to use the i-tag under the button for my extra styling, and not the .icon class. This way the .icon class is used only once in the generated file and then never again.
.icon {
// Basic styling
}
button {
i { // <= Previously '.icon'
// Additional styling
}
}
Have you tried doing something like this?
.icon {
//some styles from external (ie: grunt webfont)
color: red;
}
%icon {
#extend .icon;
}
button {
.ico {
#extend %icon;
//add some additional styles
}
}
.foo:after {
#extend %icon;
//add some more
}
You would then avoid generating the foo:after rule for the .icon inside the button.
EDIT2 - you'll need to create an additional class which you can use inside your styles, so there's only one .icon class defined (in your grunt-webfont generated css). Then just use the .ico class inside your styles and extend the %icon placeholder like shown above.
EDIT - have you considered solving this problem in your grunt-webfont generator?
From the documentation, it seems you can set the output to scss like so:
options: {
stylesheet: 'scss',
mixinPrefix: 'mixin-'
Then just use the mixin to define the styles of your desired classes?
I think this gets the result you're looking for? Albeit, slightly messily.
The method: make a placeholder style and extend that into .icon to begin with.
%icon-styles{
basic: styling;
}
.icon {
#extend %icon-styles;
}
.foo:after {
#extend %icon-styles;
}
button .icon {
#extend %icon-styles;
additional: styling;
}
It compiles into:
.icon, .foo:after, button .icon {
basic: styling;
}
button .icon {
additional: styling;
}
You can also use custom template with grunt-webfont. It’ll give you much more control on generated CSS.

How can I select every other element that does not have a specific class?

I have a list of <div>s. Each <div> has class zebra. Until now I've used the following to stripe the list:
.zebra:nth-child(2n) { /* colors */ }
Now I'm implementing a filtering feature, such that some of these <div>s will have a class hidden. I tried updating my css to
.zebra:not(.hidden):nth-child(2n) { /* colors */ }
But that had no effect. What am I missing? How can I combine these selectors so that only the showing .zebra <div>s are considered in the :nth-child(2n)?
Here's a fiddle of what I'm describing.
UPDATE:
there is an unknown number of .hidden elements, and an unknown total number of elements. (the list is data-driven, not static).
I'd really rather not do any of:
run a javascript every time a filter control is touched, just to re-color the showing list items.
remove an element entirely when it's hiding. this makes re-adding it non-trivial (afaict).
Instead of removing the element as Justin suggested, you could replace it with an element of a different tag. We could use details, for example:
var placemarker = document.createElement("details");
node.parentNode.replaceChild(placemarker, node);
placemarker.appendChild(node);
Then, instead of using :nth-child, use :nth-of-type.
details { display:none; }
div.zebra:nth-of-type(2n) { /* colors */ }
Unhiding the element can then be done with:
placemarker.parentNode.replaceChild(placemarker.firstChild);
See this static example.
if you don't mind delving into jquery..
$('#yourHiddenElement').remove();
will remove it so that your css shades alternate.
http://jsfiddle.net/NYvcv/1/
I would suggest using this instead of applying the class 'hidden' to the element you want to hide.
If you know there will be a limited number of .hidden items, you can do something like this:
.zebra2:nth-child(2n) {
background: lightgrey;
}
.zebra2.hidden ~ .zebra2:nth-child(2n) {
background: inherit;
}
.zebra2.hidden ~ .zebra2:nth-child(2n+1) {
background: lightgrey;
}
.zebra2.hidden ~ .zebra2.hidden ~ .zebra2:nth-child(2n) {
background: lightgrey;
}
.zebra2.hidden ~ .zebra2.hidden ~ .zebra2:nth-child(2n+1) {
background: inherit;
}
And so on. This particular example breaks if there are more than 2 hidden items.
​
One possible solution:
use jQuery to change the .hidden element's type to, say, <li>. Use :nth-of-type instead of :nth-child.

How to style readonly attribute with CSS?

I'm currently using readonly="readonly" to disable fields. I'm now trying to style the attribute using CSS. I've tried using
input[readonly] {
/* styling info here */
}
but it is not working for some reason. I've also tried
input[readonly='readonly'] {
/* styling info here */
}
that doesn't work either.
How can I style the readonly attribute with CSS?
input[readonly]
{
background-color:blue;
}
https://curtistimson.co.uk/post/css/style-readonly-attribute-css/
Note that textarea[readonly="readonly"] works if you set readonly="readonly" in HTML but it does NOT work if you set the readOnly-attribute to true or "readonly" via JavaScript.
For the CSS selector to work if you set readOnly with JavaScript you have to use the selector textarea[readonly].
Same behavior in Firefox 14 and Chrome 20.
To be on the safe side, i use both selectors.
textarea[readonly="readonly"], textarea[readonly] {
...
}
Loads of answers here, but haven't seen the one I use:
input[type="text"]:read-only { color: blue; }
Note the dash in the pseudo selector. If the input is readonly="false" it'll catch that too since this selector catches the presence of readonly regardless of the value. Technically false is invalid according to specs, but the internet is not a perfect world. If you need to cover that case, you can do this:
input[type="text"]:read-only:not([read-only="false"]) { color: blue; }
textarea works the same way:
textarea:read-only:not([read-only="false"]) { color: blue; }
Keep in mind that html now supports not only type="text", but a slew of other textual types such a number, tel, email, date, time, url, etc. Each would need to be added to the selector.
To be safe you may want to use both...
input[readonly], input[readonly="readonly"] {
/*styling info here*/
}
The readonly attribute is a "boolean attribute", which can be either blank or "readonly" (the only valid values). http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#boolean-attribute
If you are using something like jQuery's .prop('readonly', true) function, you'll end up needing [readonly], whereas if you are using .attr("readonly", "readonly") then you'll need [readonly="readonly"].
Correction:
You only need to use input[readonly]. Including input[readonly="readonly"] is redundant. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/19645203/1766230
There are a few ways to do this.
The first is the most widely used. It works on all major browsers.
input[readonly] {
background-color: #dddddd;
}
While the one above will select all inputs with readonly attached, this one below will select only what you desire. Make sure to replace demo with whatever input type you want.
input[type="demo"]:read-only {
background-color: #dddddd;
}
This is an alternate to the first, but it's not used a whole lot:
input:read-only {
background-color: #dddddd;
}
The :read-only selector is supported in Chrome, Opera, and Safari. Firefox uses :-moz-read-only. IE doesn't support the :read-only selector.
You can also use input[readonly="readonly"], but this is pretty much the same as input[readonly], from my experience.
input[readonly], input:read-only {
/* styling info here */
}
Shoud cover all the cases for a readonly input field...
capitalize the first letter of Only
input[readOnly] {
background: red !important;
}
<input type="text" name="country" value="China" readonly="readonly" />
If you select the input by the id and then add the input[readonly="readonly"] tag in the css, something like:
#inputID input[readonly="readonly"] {
background-color: #000000;
}
That will not work. You have to select a parent class or id an then the input. Something like:
.parentClass, #parentID input[readonly="readonly"] {
background-color: #000000;
}
My 2 cents while waiting for new tickets at work :D
Use the following to work in all browsers:
var readOnlyAttr = $('.textBoxClass').attr('readonly');
if (typeof readOnlyAttr !== 'undefined' && readOnlyAttr !== false) {
$('.textBoxClass').addClass('locked');
}

select the body element of only certain pages in the site?

I' like to add a different background image to certain pages - is there a way to adjust the following notation:
body {background: url('someimage.jpg');
to
someselector body:url('somedifferentimage.jpg');
perhaps a way to select based on the title or the html doc name?
Normally what you'd do is make a different stylesheet for each page and add the declaration. So just:
body {
background-image: url('somedifferentimage.jpg');
}
Linked to by the page you want to override. If that's not possible and a little more progressive enhancement is an option, you could try JavaScript of some ilk:
document.body.style.backgroundImage = "url('" + document.title + ".jpg')";
for example.
Add a class to your body tag where you want the custom style.
css:
.customBody {
background-image: url('somedifferentimage.jpg');
}
html:
<body class="customBody">
The more commonly-accepted way is to put a class on the body element:
<body class="specialpage">
And then apply the background only to <body>s of that class.
body.specialpage { background-image: url(...); }

Webkit (Chrome/Safari) does not update display when custom attribute selected is changed

Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/JVVcA/
HTML:
<fieldset id="data-page">
<legend>data-page</legend>
<button rel="page1">Highlight page one</button>
<button rel="page2">Highlight page two</button>
<div data-page="page1">
<h1 id="page1">Page one</h1>
<h1 id="page2">Page two</h1>
</div>
</fieldset>
<fieldset id="class">
<legend>class</legend>
<button rel="page3">Highlight page three</button>
<button rel="page4">Highlight page four</button>
<div class="page3">
<h1 id="page3">Page three</h1>
<h1 id="page4">Page four</h1>
</div>
</fieldset>
CSS:
fieldset { border: 1px solid #aaa; padding: 5px; }
h1 { background-color: white; }
div[data-page="page1"] h1#page1 { background-color: pink; }
div[data-page="page2"] h1#page2 { background-color: pink; }
div.page3 h1#page3 { background-color: cyan; }
div.page4 h1#page4 { background-color: cyan; }
JS:
$('#data-page button').click(function(){
var rel = $(this).attr('rel');
$(this).siblings("div").attr('data-page', rel);
});
$('#class button').click(function(){
var rel = $(this).attr('rel');
$(this).siblings("div").attr('class', rel);
});
Initial load:
After clicking "Highlight page two" and "Highlight page four" in Webkit (specifically, Google Chrome stable Windows 7):
After doing the same in Firefox:
As you can see, the data-page selector works fine on the initial rendering of the of the page, but when the DOM is manipulated on the fly, styles defined by the [data-page="???"] CSS selector are not affected accordingly. Compare this to the situation with the class selectors. When classes are changed on the fly, the styles change as expected.
A possibly related note is that I've encountered cases while using this attribute selector in conjunction with CSS transitions where a similar lack of responsiveness happens, but on those cases, clicking elsewhere on the page, waving your mouse around, or just waiting for a bit eventually results in the expected change going through.
So is there a way around this other than to just throw up your hands and not use data-page-style attributes?
It's the same issue that's applied for the ~ or multiple + selectors and pseudo-classes in webkit: this kind of selectors are rendered only once and the last time I checked the relevant bug reports in webkit's tracker, they stated that it works like intended.
But, some people had found the fix, but it's really is overhead: to add always-reflowing property to body, so it's must be added only to those elements, where something changes, the divs inside field sets for your example.
So, there is a fixed fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/JVVcA/2/
And these are the styles for fixing such problems:
/* The `fixing` animation */
#-webkit-keyframes bugfix { from { padding: 0; } to { padding: 0; } }
.anElementToFix { -webkit-animation: bugfix infinite 1s; }
Note that you must add the fix to the element whose attribute is can be changed, not the targeted by selector elements.
My version of workaround.
$('#data-page button').click(function(){
var rel = $(this).attr('rel');
var my_div = $(this).siblings("div");
my_div.attr('data-page', rel);
var my_html = my_div.html();
my_div.html(my_html);
});
$('#class button').click(function(){
var rel = $(this).attr('rel');
$(this).siblings("div").attr('class', rel);
});
Running an animation seems overly expensive.
Thanks to Zoltan Olah, I found a much more elegant, concise, and efficient workaround.
Simple toggle a nonsense class on the body. This will cause contained selectors to be re-evaluated.
You don't even have to define this class in CSS. Just applying it forces Safari to hunt through the page re-evaluating things.
Every time you change the attribute in question, toggle this class on or off to force the re-evaluation.
// change some attribute
$(".blah").attr("state", "otherState"); // example of changing an attribute (your app will be different)
$('body').toggleClass('zoltan'); // THIS IS THE LINE YOU MUST ADD EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE THE ATTRIBUTE
