I'm trying to incorporate this yui drop down menu control in a web page:
http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/menu/
I have it working for the most part but I discovered that one of the css files that I need to link to as part of the control mess up the formatting for the rest of my web page. This is the css file in question:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.8.2r1/build/reset-fonts-grids/reset-fonts-grids.css">
and this is the guilty line:
body{text-align:center;}
I'm not that experienced with css, but this doesn't seem like the friendliest design. This property is being assigned to the entire body section of the html file and could (or does in my case) impact content separate from the yahoo stuff. I know that I can fix this by putting a div tag around my stuff and setting the text-align property back to what I want it to be, but I don't feel this should be necessary. Or am I missing something here?
You do need to add a div around your body. Just redefine body style in your CSS file like
body{text-align:left;} and make sure your CSS file comes after yahoo's css file.
You can also do it inline like
<body style="text-align:left;">
This will override yahoo's body declaration for text-align.

I'm trying to get this style to work for the body of the HTML page, it works when the style is applied within the tags but not when used with an external style sheet.
CSS Doesn't work with this code.
body {
background-image:url(img/geometric.jpg);
}
HTML Works here.
<body style="background-image:url('img/geometric.jpg');">
</body>
I want to use external styling for the whole page. I'm curious on how to fix this odd issue.
The path to the image must be relative to the CSS file that references it, not the HTML file that it will appear in.
I copied this link: <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.w3schools.com/lib/w3.css">
This is for a slideshow in my HTML. But its effects are seen for the entire body. How can I use it only for the slideshow?
May be you can find your solution in this link:-http://qnimate.com/creating-a-slider-using-html-and-css-only/
You can't do that simply because you don't own the file, so you can't modify it.
That's sad for you but this file probably use "global" classes and you need to modify this file in order to delete all the body, p, div, ect... css classes so they will not affect your entire page anymore.
But, hey, I HAVE A SOLUTION for you, you see this link, yeah, this one: http://www.w3schools.com/lib/w3.css !
Just use it like any other link, you will see all the css stuff, you just need to put it in your own css file then modify it.
Hope that will help you.
I have provided a template and it contains many CSS files in head and the body is divided into header ,content and footer portions. I want to add to add bootstrap in order to utilize its grid system for its content part. But when ever I add bootstrap.css in head above or below all the style sheets in <head> content part and footer part renders well but my header portion of the body encounter certain design problems as many of the properties in other css files get overridden by its grid system.
All I want to know is, is there any hack I may be able to use the
bootstrap.css for the content part?
I have also tried linking the bootstrap file in <body> below the <header> and above the content portion(I know its not a good practice.) . but it also causes the similar problems for the header portion.
What you can do is make and download a custom bootstrap version from http://getbootstrap.com/customize/ that contains only the grid system and use that CSS in your web app.
No, you can't. You're going to either have to change your markup and adjust the styles accordingly, or use an ID wrapper and change the styles in your CSS to only target <header> under that specific ID.
You're better off adjusting your styles to fit bootstrap, though.
Try adding !important to the properties that you want to customize in your CSS file.
But the best way I see to solve your issue is modifying the bootstrap.css file adding your configurations and adding !important if necessary
I am editing a HTML website template, and I need to change the banner height so I edited external CSS. However, somehow it is taking an inline CSS height property so there is a space left in between.
Please let me know, if I have not written any inline CSS (and there is no inline CSS in html page), from where is that height property coming from.
Code I see in console is:
<div style="display: block; height: 445px;" id="camera" class="camera-wrap camera_wrap">
And my code is:
<div id="camera" class="camera-wrap">
<div data-src="images/Battery-Banner.jpg">
I have no idea why it is taking class camera_wrap twice.
Usually JS plugins put dynamic css that is calculated during runtime. It will be placed in inline style tag. Otherwise any static code will go to external css file. Try checking how plugin is calculating that height and than modify your HTML/css.
Try viewing the HTML source in your browser (not using inspect element, use view-source). This will show you the markup prior to any other client side processing aka. JavaScript. If the inline style isn't there when you view source then that indicates that it may be a rogue bit of JavaScript that is adding it in.
In any case can you please provide more information on the issue? Possibly a little more background on what type of website, what parts it has CSS, JS etc. With more information we may be able to help more.
If your source is showing 1 class, and when you are using inspect element it is showing other classes, then it is definitely added by js/jquery plugin.
If you want to overwrite other class css properties, either use !important in your class or use deeper dom traversing like #camera.camera-wrap{}. Than this will be given higher priority. Try which works for you.
Dumb question with a simple answer, I think.
I am building a site that has a completely different layout on one page from the rest. On one page, the design requires a liquid vertical layout, so I need the following code: *{height:100%;}On the other pages I just want the default height.
I tried to add a class to the html tag, which works in the html, but not in the CSS file. I tried:
*.myClass
and
html.myClass
but it doesn't seem to work.
I can't seem to find any info on this online. Is it even possible to add classes to the html tag?
I am using wordpress, so I can easily check to see which page I'm on and add myClass.
I guess I could also use #import to get a different style sheet based on the page I'm on, but that seems like a longwinded way of doing things.
How can I specify height:100% as a value of the html tag on specific pages only?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
J
Perhaps .myClass, .myClass body {height: 100%}?
It is indeed possible to add a class to the <html> tag.
Live Demo (see code)
This will work, because I just applied this in one of my projects earlier today. :)
html,body {
height:100%
}
If you have pages that require the default height, then don't load this css style. You can place it in a separate CSS file.
