I implemented a simple tab navigation by using <ul><li><a> , the problem is that there are several "layers" on each tab still needed. what I mean is, In my current implementation I have:
-tab text which is <a>text</a>
-on each tab I have a tab icon image, which I put on <li> as background-image of <li>,
But I still need:
-tab seperator image (A vertical bar image) which I intend to put on <a>,and position it on the left side background-position: left , it is working but this implementation is not in my code which I showed below on jsfiddle site because I did not find a suitable image on internet
-tab background image which occupy the whole tab, I have no idea where I should put this image?
Please check & run my implementation here on jsfiddle, in the css code, I used background-color instead of background-image just to express what I want to achieve, but I need to use background-image as the tab background.
What I tried:
I tried to put the tab background image on <li> but it will hide the
icon image which has already on <li>,
I tried to put the tab background image on <a> but it will also hide the tab seperator image when mouse hover
How to get rid of this layer probelm on tab implementation then? (Please do not suggest me to use less image, since it is one requirement of this app to use those images.)
(By the way, all images I mentioned have mouse "hover" counterpart)
If you don't want to change the HTML, you can use pseudo-elements:
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/Pq7LC/39/
li:before{
content: "";
background: pink;
width: 20px;
height: 61px;
display: block;
position:absolute;
}
li:first-child:before{ /* Don't add image border before first li */
content:none;
}
You can do it with css, no need of images.

Hope it helped you :)

I have button which is <a> element with href, which doesnt have any background set on :active/:focus/:visited, but on force/3dTouch tap it gets this weird #b8b8bc background under the text only (while <a> doesnt have any children e.g. <span> etc so I suppose this is the text node highlight).
here's the gif to illustrate the behavior.
I've tried adding -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent but it changes only regular tap color, not the forced/3d one
also I thought maybe that's selection color (as I can reproduce this on various websites) so tried to use selection selectors which didn't help as well
::selection {
background: transparent;
}
::-webkit-selection {
background: transparent;
}
::-moz-selection {
background: transparent;
}
Any ideas about possible origin of this?
Good job digging up.
I had the same issue plus another one and here are my solutions.
Post is old but someone could find it useful like me today.
First of all, the forced background was covering my link text totally because I was using user-select: none; on my header links.
So that's something to check, just in case.
Regarding the background color, Force Touch doesn't use the link parent element background but the one that's under it.
If you want to "feel it", we could say that Forced Touch digs into the direct parent background and let the under layer appears.
So, to counter that without having to touch to background color, I use some z-index in the parent element to elevate it, preventing Forced Touch to "dig" :)
So if your links parent element is named card, you can add to your CSS:
.card {
isolation: isolate;
z-index:1;
}
Now, Force Touch will use the parent background color as we want to.
Okay so I found sort of "solution" based on parent's color.
Try to set *{background: red}.
If worked try set same on few parents .parent1 { background: pink}, .parent2 { background: lightblue}, .parent1 { background: salmon} etc.
In my case I found the color applied to force touched text was menu wrapper's background that takes most of the screen when menu is opened.
Side effect of this change - all forcetouched elements will have same color, no option to specify :hover or :active colors (you can see the color is slightly different on the 1st click) and ALL links will have same background:
I imagine you can try setting wrapper's background via JS based on what is clicked. Not sure if that will work. see docs here:
WebKit DOM Programming Topics
So far this seems to me too fragile to touch and I would not recommend doing this. Though you can change this color I've decided to let OS do what it wants here.
I have the following Squarespace website. You can login to the site by clicking visitor access and typing in the code.
I'd like to change the background of the website by using the followng background image:
https://hethuisvandelingerie.squarespace.com/assets/bgs/bg8.png
I tried to do this with a CSS code to add a background image to the div with ID "canvas". This is the code I used:
#canvas{background-image: url('assets/bgs/bg8.png');}
However, this code does not seem to add the background image?
Any of you have an idea on how to solve this issue?
Take a look on your main wrapped on your #canvas div. Try to use the same CSS code. Hope it helps!
main {
background: url(https://static1.squarespace.com/static/ta/58639728d2b857b308f66598/404/assets/bgs/bg8.png)
}
In site.css, look for this entry and remove the background line from #main. You've applied the background image to #canvas but #main is displaying over #canvas and #main's background is covering the background image applied to #canvas
#main {
background: #fcfcfc;
...
Try removing the single quotes from the path
#canvas{background-image: url(assets/bgs/bg8.png);}
If that doesn't work
Make sure that you entered the right path.
Double check that the id of the element is in fact canvas
(I personally think it's a less than optimal name since canvas is now also a class)
I have a button that, when hovered over, I would like the background image to display also. (It is an arrow an explanation of the button). There are quite a few questions similar, but I couldn't quite tweak the answers to work for me.
The HTML looks like
<div id="header_feedback">
<a href="#contactForm">
<img title="Add an Event" src="./img/header_feedback.png" alt="Give us your Feedback"/>
</a>
</div>
the CSS then is
#header_feedback
{margin-left:730px;
margin-top:-135px;
position:absolute;}
#header_feedback:hover
{
background: url ('./img/addevent_tip.png');
}
Any ideas hugely welcome!
The main problem here is not with your CSS. Itagi's answer correctly identified the minor issue that you can't have a space between url and the parens/address.
But there are two other bigger issues:
Invalid image url: when applied, background: url('./img/addevent_tip.png'); fails to find a valid image. To fix this, you either need two periods or zero. So either background: url('/img/addevent_tip.png'); or background: url('../img/addevent_tip.png');
Backgrounds applied to opaque images aren't visible: Since the entire content of the div is an image and that image has no transparency, you will not be able to see the on-hover change even when it happens correctly. You can adjust for this by making part of the image transparent (and, perhaps, setting a background for the non-hover state that leads it to look the way it normally does), or by abandoning the image in favor of CSS spriting.
you just need to change it the following way:
#header_feedback:hover
{
background: url('./img/addevent_tip.png');
}
no whitespace between 'url' and the actual url
#header_feedback a img{ display:none;}
#header_feedback a:hover img{display:block}
I want my html link to look like a real submit button. Any good codes with css? I have found some examples, but I want it to be more real than just a grey box.
Make a button image in your favourite image precessing tool and use these codes:
HTML
CSS:
.link_button
{
background-image: url(path/to/button_image.png);
background-position: 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
display: block;
width: 79px; /*your image width*/
height: 35px: /*your image height*/
}
That should set up your link to look like a nicely styled button, that you created.
If you don't want to use an image, you can use normal CSS borders and baackground colors/gradients as well.
Regarding the this is so no text is shown on the image itself, another way to do this is with css: text-indet: -9999px; or you can use the text as part of the element like normal and just style the background :)
Do you mean you'd like to create links that look like buttons, but a bit nicer than the standard old grey box?
There are tons of tutorials out there for this: just search "css buttons". A good one is this: http://www.oscaralexander.com/tutorials/how-to-make-sexy-buttons-with-css.html
If your widget toolkit's theme does some snazzy theming (most do), you most likely won't be able to reproduce the button's look. Even if you could, it would only emulate your computer's theme.
Of course, if you don't mind your button not being consistent with normal buttons, there are many tutorials that allow you to create nice CSS buttons.
If you could consider actually using a button rather than a link, that'd probably be even better.
I am using toggleClass and slideToggle to accomplish the following:
when the user selects a link, it will slide down the div, then it will set the link as open, displaying the appropriate background image, this is just a simple, (+) and (-) to open and close the div.
What I am having trouble with, is displaying the background-image to the right of the link, giving it about 5-10px of margin-left, to give it some spacing.
Here is a screen shot of what it is doing: Closed (displaying (+) sign): http://cl.ly/4634afa1e7aa4fe10072
Open (displaying (-) sign): http://cl.ly/8bc59ab07da46a173d62
HTML for link: Mapping Our Future: Strategic Plan 2010-2015
CSS for when it displays the link untouched, and after it is selected:
// link is not open
.our-future-intro-slide {
background: url('/images/uploads/images/plus_sign.png') no-repeat 120% 0%;
}
// link is open
.our-future-intro-slide-open {
background: url('/images/uploads/images/plus-icon.png') no-repeat 120% 0%;
}
Here is the jQuery, I figure I'll throw that in, it works, just the css for making the background-image show up to the right of the text.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.our-future-intro-slide').click(function() {
$(this).toggleClass("our-future-intro-slide-open");
$(".our-future-intro").slideToggle(100);
});
});
Try this:
.our-future-intro-slide {
background: url('/images/uploads/images/plus_sign.png') no-repeat top right;
padding-right: 30px; /* or whatever the width of the background image is */
}
And, of course, the same modifications for the other rule.
I don't know if I understand totally, but have you tried using :after? Something like
.link:after{background:#FFF;}
I think you will be interested in this post - Pure CSS "Popups".
UPDATE: that's another way to align images on links hover.
