I'd like to know how to do something like this in CSS:
How is it possible to change the text color halfway through like that on an <input> tag ? I've done a View Source already, but it's hard to make sense of.
Google uses two divs which are absolutely positioned on top of the input box. The first div contains the word stackoverflow, and the text is styled in a light gray. The second dvi contains "stacko" and the text is black.
If you inspect the source, look for divs with class="gsfi".
First off, look into implementing autocompletion. This should give you another element [beneath the one the user types; probably another div] for styling.
its not purely a CSS thing, you need JS too.
Have a look at this autocomplete demo: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery/autocomplete.htm
Now you could use CSS for styling text selections in that input to gray the text out.
like this:
::selection {
color: white;
background-color: red;
}
::-moz-selection {
color: white;
background-color: red;
}

I've made a sign up form with a submit button at the bottom. When deploying the code on the website, the button appears to have an unwanted grey background colour but only in a WordPress article. When tested outside WordPress, it appears fine. It seems WordPress changes it for some reason. Does anyone know why this might be?
This looks like an issue with specificity. In CSS, if you have not given style to your button element, it will inherit the style of the parent element. For example: If your "article" class contains a style for button elements...
.myArticle button {
background-color: #232323;
color: black;
}
Your button in that article, if not given its own id/class will receive that style. To change this, simply give your button its own id/class.
For example:
#myButton {
background-color: "color";
color: "color";
}
Furthermore, looking at the image you linked to. The reason the two buttons are styled differently may be to do with the input type. In CSS you can also select inputs by attribute. Example:
.myArticle input[type=submit] {
background-color: #232323;
color: black;
}
Either way, I would just consider giving the button you're having trouble with, an ID. From there you should be able to manually style it. ID's are one of the most specific selectors, no styles should overwrite that. Hopefully I've understood your question correctly, and this helps.
My CSS looks like:
.small, small:hover { color: #000000; }
My HTML looks like:
<small>Small Text</small>
<small>Small Text Link</small>
I'm trying to style the link in small i know its probably a simple problem but it colors the whole text and not just the link. Can anyone point me in right direction?
I'm using bootstrap so i don't want to change the color of a on its own.
You can specify that css rules for small element should be applied only if it is inside link (a element):
a small, a small:hover { color: #000000; }
By the way, there is no point in providing the same rules for a small and a small:hover, just a small should be enough.
I have an application that has a lot of buttons in the window. In writing the HTML documentation pages for this, I've been successful in creating a bordered, sorta-shadowed CSS <span> with text within that represent the buttons that just have legends on them.
This allows me to show "momentary" buttons like these...
...that just have a legend on them in such a way that it's reasonably obvious what I'm describing by simply putting...
<span id="button">LAP</span>
...in line with the associated description (and my custom documentation system makes it even easier by letting me invoke the style inline with [s button LAP]. Fun. :) Here's the style I built for that:
span#button
{
font-family: Courier;
font-weight: bold;
white-space: pre;
border: 1px solid #000000;
background: #ddddee;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
color: #000000;
}
Here's screen clip of part of the documentation that uses that technique:
Also within the application, I have buttons that have "LED" indicators on them. A typical one might display a green LED when on, and a dark LED when off. Screen clip from the application (with a dark style sheet, so the buttons are dark) showing some of these:
I already have nice little .jpg images that show all the "LED" colors I use, conversely, an embedded CCSS box filled with the right color would be fine too.
What I would like to do, and am having no luck at all doing, is create a <span> within the text that looks as least somewhat like one of those buttons -- without going to specific images for each button, or in other words, using CSS. Since the only things that vary are the LEDs and the text, I want to can the LEDs and feed in the text. Something like...
<span id="greenbutton">Run</span>
In order to do that, I need the LED to appear above the text, and size the text small enough to land underneath it, and center them both within a bordered box as the text-only version above does. I would like an output like this (button built in an image processor)...
press to start
...from this:
press <span id="greenbutton">RUN</span> to start
It seems like it ought to be easy enough; and I can add quite a bit of complexity within my documentation system if required to make it all work -- multiple nested spans, divs, images, test, whatever it takes -- but I keep running into these two showstoppers:
<span> wants things to come one after another horizontally
<div> either causes line breaks or floats left or right
I can't seem to get a <div> to just land in the text where I put it in the first place, although I've been able to make them look just like I want them to because they understand vertical alignment and positioning withing their own context.
I was also thinking of some actual images of buttons with the text removed from them in each LED state, used as background to a span, where the text is overlaid on that background, thereby looking like a specific button. I've not tried this, as I can't seem to find how to make a span have a background and <div>... a <div> won't stay where I want it (not left or right, but right there, or else refrain from breaking the lines if it's not floated.
I'm not opposed to putting a table inline, either. If I knew how...
I hope I'm missing something. In which case, help! Or is this impossible, and the only solution is to screen-cap the many, many buttons in each of their various states (some actually display multiple LED colors for various settings, worse yet) and then drop the images in where I want them? Because although I could do that, it's awfully clumsy and effort intensive. :(
Introducing the pseudo element "before"! Ta-da!
<p>Green button</p>
<span class="myButton greenbutton">RUN</span>
<p>Red button</p>
<span class="myButton redbutton">RUN</span>
<p>Click this purple button <span class="myButton purplebutton">RUN</span> here.</p>
<style>
span.myButton {
display:inline-block;
border-top: 2px solid #eee;
border-left: 2px solid #eee;
border-right: 2px solid #000;
border-bottom: 2px solid #000;
padding:1px 2px 0;
background: #dde;
width:20px;
height:auto;
font-size:10px;
font-family:monospace;
text-align:center;
}
span.myButton:before {
display:block;
margin:2px auto 0;
width: 16px;
height: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000;
content: "";
}
span.greenbutton:before {background:#99FF00;}
span.redbutton:before {background:#FF0043;}
span.purplebutton:before {background:#A200C1;}
</style>
Updated answer: I changed the display on the span to inline-block, so it will go inside a paragraph. I missed that requirement on my previous answer.
I added a class to each span, so that all spans in your document won't be affected, just the ones with that class.
Technically, if you are going to have more than one green button, you shouldn't use an ID for it. ID's are supposed to be unique and therefore only used once in a document. So I've also converted that to a class.
in CSS, the period denotes a class, as opposed to the # sign denoting an id. Ergo: span.myButton targets the span with class "myButton". span.greenbutton targets a span with the class greenbutton. You can have more than one class on an element.
I took the background-color property out of the span:before style, and put it in a class specific style -> span.greenbutton:before. Basically, the classes for the span.myButton and the pseudo element span.myButton:before are the same for all these buttons. But for each color, put an additional class on the span, and create a style with that class for it, using the background color you want. Hope that's clear. Fiddle updated too.

I have an HTML form with a bunch of input fields (of type text and select). I am floating them such that there are two on each row. In all browsers (including IE7), everything works okay, but for some reason in IE8, whenever I click inside any of the fields or their labels, that field or a surrounding one vertically moves up or down. The position then returns to normal once I click away from the box, though then another nearby box might move. Also, not all of the textbox fields have this issue, and clicking the same textbox doesn't always cause this issue. Any ideas?
I had the exact same problem, and to fix it, I set
display:block
On the element that was jumping around and that fixed it. Hope that helps.
Problem is when you focus an input text element, your browser puts 2px border around it for focus which is shifting its position if it is contained in a tight container...
I think it is more related to having 2px border all the times. Use the same color border and your text field to have transparent borders...
Your problem is addressed on this question
StackOverflow Question when focusing an input field border 8270380
This is speculation, but since focusing in an element seems to trigger the shifting, you may have different styles applied to those focused elements. Increased margins or borders could be responsible.
Not a big deal just put:-
outline: none;
in input tags
input {
width: 100%;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
display: block;
border-radius: 5px;
outline: none;
}
if you want to have a border of your own then put
input:focus {
border: 2px solid salmon;
color: #333;
}
I think your structure conflicting with your parent structure CSS (there may possible is you using third party plugin something like jQuery UI or else) do one thing just for confirmation cut or copy your conflicting code and paste out side of you parent structure or beginning of your body tag. you find the difference.
For proper help I want to review you code.
Thnx
I had a link with text and an image. I don't want the image to have an underline under it but I do want the text to have an underline. Is there anyway to support this without breaking these down into two seperate links? Here is an example picture:
No, there is no way to achieve that without splitting the link into two parts.
The alternative is to put border-bottom: 1px solid #000 on to the element containing the text, however this will not behave in the same was as a native A element, with hover, active and visited states - at least not without the intervention of javascript.
You could easily do something structured like:
<a><span>text</span><img /></a>
You could then remove the underline from a and apply underlining to a span.
Demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/chrisvenus/pdrz9/
I should note that the following will not work:
img {
text-decoration: none;
}
