This question may sound a bit weird/novice/stupid. Please bear with me.
The below code is a small portion of a webpage I have created using CSS,
HTML and coldfusion.
<head>
---------------------Part 1--------------------------------------
<CFIF CompareNoCase('#aid#', 0)>
<cfinclude template="show.cfm">
<cfabort>
</CFIF>
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/style.css?1322665623">
</head>
---------------------------PART 2------------------------------------
<body id="wp-home">
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="header left">
<h1>Name Of Client</h1>
<div class="tagline">
<span class="left blair">home</span>
<span class="headerline"></span>
<span class="right blair">antiques</span>
</div>
</div>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As you see, I have included a css file, style.css which contains all the style classes required to display PART 2 correctly.
Problem is, whenever part 1 is active ( is true), the same
css is applied to elements in file SHOW.CFM also. This totally messes up the page's original display.
For the time being I have placed a tag below the link to stop page from processing and the css file being loaded.
I have checked show.css multiple times and can confirm that no class from styles.css is used in it.
Hence, my question is if I can stop the styles from style.css to be applied on elements loaded from SHOW.CFM
Pardon me if the question is insanely stupid ;)
If a selector matches then a rule will apply until overridden by a rule (which sets the same property) further down the cascade.
You can either change your selectors to stop them matching the elements you don't want them to match, or you can override all your rules in that section.
HTML5 allows scoped stylesheets, but only Firefox supports it so far. There is also a polyfill JavaScript.
Therefore, you'll have to adapt your markup and styles so that it only matches part2, and not part1. In a pinch, you can precede every selector with #wrapper. For example, if a rule says a{color:red}, substitute that with #wrapper a {color:red;}.
By the way, part1 should probably be a child of <body> instead of <head>.
Use the pseudo-class :not():
.myStyle:not(.classWhereYouDontWantToApplyTheStyle) {
...
}
What about using if else instead of just if to determine which css file you should include? In other words, include styles.css only when part 2 displays. That way, you avoid inheritance and scoping issues altogether.

On my webpage there are DIV's that are created dynamically with the class of jOUT.
I want to change the color of every other iteration of the class.
I'm trying to do it this way:
.jOUT:nth-child(even){
background:#eeefff;
}
.jOUT:nth-child(odd){
background:#cccffe;
}
My HTML is as follows:
<div id="outData">
<input type="hidden" name="outDivider" value="-------">
<div class="jOUT isOpaque">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="outDivider" value="-------">
<div class="jOUT isOpaque">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="outDivider" value="-------">
<div class="jOUT">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
</div>
Full HTML here
But it's not working. What's really weird is that using the console in Chrome, when I select each jOUT, it shows ALL of them as having the "even" attribute.
I thought for sure that I had invalid CSS or HTML but I can't find it. It has to be something I'm doing, but what? I guess what I'm asking for is an idea for a place to start looking for the problem. I've verified the CSS using w3c CSS verification, and the HTML using HTML Tidy.
Your current CSS is working as it should, because you're targeting ALL children (including input); which means, in this scenario, all your div.jOUT are even - you should rather use :nth-of-type, which will only target instances of div.jOUT ...
.jOUT:nth-of-type(even){
background:#eeefff;
}
.jOUT:nth-of-type(odd){
background:#cccffe;
}
DEMO fiddle
This would work here:
.jOUT:nth-child(4n){
background:#eeefff;
}
More on that
This is somewhat fragile, though. A better approach is to add an alternative style class on those elements, possibly via your server-side app.
Your input[name="outDivider"] elements are in the way, thus making every jOUT element even. Here's a working pen where I took them out and made the selector work properly. I also changed the colors, so it's easier to see.
Edit: #isherwood beat me to it, but if this input[name="outDivider"] elements are absolutely necessary, his solution works best!
I am using jsonform (https://github.com/joshfire/jsonform) in order to generate forms from json schema, and the jsonform requires his own css for the form, but i am using another css for my site's template.
Is there a way to apply a css only on a specific tag ? for example only to the html inside ?
I am using rails, so the head is not changing from page to page.
thanks.
If you're using a CSS preprocessor (i.e. SASS, LESS, SCSS, etc.) then it might be an easy job to just indent your custom css under one class/id/tag. You can check this SO question: apply CSS style to particular elements dynamically.
Try this>>>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="theme1.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="theme2.css">
Inside theme 1 you would link to certain classes and in theme2 you would link to other classes. Please comment back if you need more help or this is not ideal
for example html
<div id="test" class="testing"></div>
the css would be
#test{color:red;}/*for ids*/
.testing{color:red}/*for classes*/
the styling in the curly brackets can be changed to what you want and the classes and ids can be in any external css if you link your page to it using link rel=
Yes you can. You need to give an ID to the body of your HTML doc if you want to target only that page, or give an ID or class to the element you need to.
<!-- HTML -->
<div class="your-class">
Your content
In the CSS:
.your-class {
your: style;
}
or
<!-- HTML -->
<body id="your-id-name">
<div class="generic-class">
Your content
/* using CSS */
body#your-id-name {
your: style;
}
body#your-id-name .generic-class {
your: style;
}
Hope it helps ;-)
Yes, offcourse there is, that's what CSS is all about.
If you add an ID or a class to the containing element that holds the form, you can add that ID or class to all the CSS selectors in the JSONform css.
for instance:
<div class="jsonform">
{json form goes here}
</div>
and then in your jsonform css, prepend '.jsonform' to all the necessary selectors:
.jsonform input.text {border:none...}
.jsonform input.submit {background-color:...}
I had a look at that jsonform css. I'm amazed that it just uses the complete Twitter bootstrap CSS, there's quite a lot of styling in there that will definitely override your own CSS. I would try to strip out anything that's not directly needed for the form, like body, img, p and h1 declarations.
Maybe the form works fine without the extra styling; you can then apply your own CSS to the form elements...
The CSS included with jsonform is Bootstrap, but the README.md in the /deps directory states that usage of this file is optional. As long as you don't include bootstrap.css in your HTML, you can style the form controls however you'd like/avoid Bootstrap overriding your own styles.
If you want to keep using Bootstrap for jsonform ONLY, you can try "namespacing" the Bootstrap styles using LESS or SASS. Have a look at the first two answers to 'How to namespace Twitter Bootstrap so styles don't conflict' for an idea how to do that with LESS.
I'm working in a content management system that allows me limited (no) access to the stylesheets, but does allow me to insert CSS into certain templates. So I have this:
<div class="inside_widget">
<div class="input"><span class="form_label">Form stuff</span></div>
<div class="input"><span class="form_label">Form stuff</span></div>
<div class="input"><span class="form_label">Form stuff</span></div>
etc...
</div>
Where inside_widget, input, and form_label are all defined in a sheet I can't touch. I want to put some custom CSS on "form_label" without having to touch every single span.
I tried using the style attribute in the containing div, but that did not work.
<div class="inside_widget" style=".form_label {color:#FFFFFF;}" >
Note: I want to retain everything else in the inside_widget styling, and not have to define a whole new class.
I think what the OP is trying to achieve is not having to repeat the style="" attribute for every single <span> in his form.
This can be done by simply adding your own class name to the enclosing div's classes:
<div class="inside_widget myclass" ...>
<!-- ... -->
</div>
Then make your own secondary stylesheet and define myclass:
.myclass span
{
color: #ffffff;
}
You can put this secondary CSS either in a <style> tag in the HTML itself, or in its own CSS file linked in.
You could do it this below.
<span class="form_label" style="color:#FFFFFF;">Form Stuff</span>
Inline styles like this will overwrite any css rules in a stylesheet, unless in the stylesheet they have a rule with !important
you do not know css right? will look like
<div class="inside_widget" style="color:#FFFFFF;" >
but I suggest you create a new css file and add whatever you want in the same
My test shows that webdriver fire_event("onmouseover") takes no effect when page has mootools lib.
when remove mootools lib, fire_event("onmouseover") takes effect.
how can I get a workaround?
html page is following:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://demos111.mootools.net/demos/mootools.svn.js'></script></head>
<body>
<div onmouseover="document.getElementById('id6').style.display='block';"
onmouseout="document.getElementById('id6').style.display='none';"
style="overflow:hidden;" id="id61" class="trbgcolor0">

</div>
</div>

</body>
</html>
watir is following:
require "rubygems"
require "watir-webdriver"
require 'test/unit'
class TC_article_example < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_search
browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox
browser.goto("http://192.168.88.120/mgt/login/t2.html")
sleep 1
oo = browser.div(:id=>"id61")
oo.fire_event "onmouseover"
puts "2 001 "
end
end
I'd be inclined to ask the mootools folks about this, offhand I'd guess it's somehow intercepting the event, so the browser element never really "see's" it when you fire it, but that's just a guess.
Their tools might also be adding some other kind of CSS logic or something else that governs if this item is hidden or visible, I've seen that a lot with rules that use a combination of element type and class along with the :hover psuedoclass to implement menus
For controls that use exclusively CSS to control the element visibility, I've not been able to find a way (yet) to cause a 'hover' state that is recognized at the browser level such that the CSS :hover rules take effect and cause the menu element(s) to appear.
The solution may be to force a change in the element's visibility by essentially executing the same script code that would fire via onmouseover and see if that makes the element show up.
browser.execute_script("document.getElementById('id6').style.display='block';")
If that does not work, you might be able to manipulate things at the CSS level by temporarily altering the particular style control. I've done this via Jquery (since our app already uses it) using this general format
browser.execute_script("jQuery('CSS-Rule-Name').css({display: 'block'});")
In my particular case the code to expose all the pulldown menus ends up looking like this
browser.execute_script("jQuery('.navigation #secondary_nav > li ul.tertiary_nav').css({display: 'block'});")
That would have to be adapted to your code of course, as the CSS rule will likely be different. The way I found the rule is to use the developer tools, select the container element for the menu in the dom, then chose 'trace styles' and expand the 'display' property which should give you the specific CSS rule (in my case it is .navigation #secondary_nav > li ul.tertiary_nav) that is controlling the display (usually 'none' or 'block') of the element. (there will be other similar rules with :hover added that take effect when the browser determines that the mouse is hovering over the applicable element )
Its a tiny bit of a kludge, but it does what is needed, which is make the menu item visible so you can then use things like the .click method on them.
If that action does not cause a page refresh, you can hide the menu again using the same script but setting it to 'none' instead of 'block'
a workaound is :browser.execute_script("abc(true)")
onmouseover="abc(true);"
onmouseout="abc(false)"
I've noticed that there are a couple of similar questions and answers at SO already, but let me clarify my specific question here first:
I've got lecture slides which states like this:
http://mindinscription.net/webapp/csstest/precedence.PNG
To be frank, I haven't heard of this rule of css precedence myself, and I googled to find something with similar topic but not quite like that : here
To have a test myself, I've made a test page on my own server here
After running it on FireFox 3.6.3, I am sure it does not show the way as it should be, according to the statement in lecture slides:
imported stylesheet ? am I doing it wrong? I cannot see its effect using FireBug
it says that embedded stylesheet has a higher precedence over linked/imported stylesheets, however, it doesn't work, if I put the linked/imported tag AFTER that.
inline style vs html attributes ? I've got an image where I firstly set its inline style to control the width and height, then use direct html attributes width/height to try modifying that, but failed...
Below is the source code :
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#target
{
border : 2px solid green;
color : green;
}
</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./linked.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="target">A targeted div tag on page.</div>
<img src="cat.jpg" alt="" style="width : 102px; height : 110px;" width="204px" height="220px" />
</body>
</html>
Can any experienced CSS guys help me figure out if the slide is correct or not?
Frankly speaking, I am puzzled myself, as I can clearly see some other "incorrect" statements here and there amongst the slides, such as JavaScript is on client-side (how about server-side JavaScript?) and "Embedded styles are in the head section of a web page
"(what the heck? I am not allowed to put it inside the body tag?)
Sorry about this silly question, the exam is on TOMORROW, and I now see a lot of things to think about :)
First, with imported stylesheets they mean stylesheets embedded using the #import rule.
Second, a few lines below that explanation in the CSS 2.1 spec there's an explanation of the cascading order. Other parts of the spec might be useful for your exam, too. Good luck.
Update: A bit of googling resulted in:
http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/topics/cascade.htm
http://monc.se/kitchen/38/cascading-order-and-inheritance-in-css
http://www.boogiejack.com/CSS_4.html
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=2&cid=2795D
etc.
The properties by <style></style> are being reassigned by the selector in linked.css.
There is no element with id="div" for imported.css.
