I have 3 links that represent the content for one iFrame in my page. When you click each link, it'll reload the contents of that iFrame without reloading the page.
how do i set the image of my link to change when it's active?
here's my code:
<div id="tabs">
<div id="overview">
<a id="overviewtab" target="tabsa" href="toframe.html">Overviews</a>
</div>
<div id="gallery">
<a target="tabsa" href="tawagpinoygallery.html">Gallery</a>
</div>
<div id="reviews">
<a target="tabsa" href="trframe.html">Reviews</a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="tabs-1">
<!--<div id="scroller">-->
<iframe name= "tabsa" width="95%" height="100%" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</div>
CSS code:
#gallery a {
text-indent: -9999px;
padding-top: 40px;
background: url(../images/GalleryTab.png) no-repeat;
height: 51px; width: 123px; position: absolute; z-index: 2;
}
#gallery a:active, a:hover {
text-indent: -9999px;
padding-top: 40px;
background: url(../images/galleryoverview.png) no-repeat;
height: 51px;
width: 123px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
}
it doesn't seem to work.. :o i only see the change in image when i hold the mouse down on the link, but when i click it, the image remains the same as if it wasn't the active tab. :o thanks!!
I am not seeing a style for visited? Only active and hover.
add
#gallery a:visited{}
style and see if that helps.
But I wonder if that is what you are actually asking? You may want to link to be displayed differently from the other links if its the last link that the user clicked. To do that you may have to use some javascript.
For example, if you use jQuery you can do something like this:
$("#gallery a").click(function(){
$("#gallery a").removeClass("ActiveClass");
$(this).addClass("ActiveClass");
});
where ActiveClass is a CSS class for styling the link appropriately.
EDIT based on comment below.
Let us assume that you have three links that look the same (call that lookA). You click on one and it looks different from the other two (lookB) but the other two still looks the same (lookA). You then click on a second link. The second link is not lookB and the other two links are lookA. Does this sound like what you want? At least that is how I interpret your question.
Hence, create two classes in CSS:
.lookA {/*Style for lookA*/}
.lookB {/*Style for lookB*/}
of course you can use more meaningful names.
Then you can add a class to each of the links that you need to use in this scenario like this:
<div id="tabs">
<div id="overview">
<a class="imagelink lookA" id="overviewtab" target="tabsa" href="toframe.html">Overviews</a>
</div>
<div id="gallery">
<a class="imagelink lookA" target="tabsa" href="tawagpinoygallery.html">Gallery</a>
</div>
<div id="reviews">
<a class="imagelink lookA" target="tabsa" href="trframe.html">Reviews</a>
</div>
</div>
So that each link can be refered to by its class, that is, imagelink. Also each link has a default lookA.
Now in jQuery (I know you did not specify jQuery but using it is 100 times simpler than plain Javascript).:
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".imagelink").click(function(){
$(".imagelink").removeClass("lookB");
$(this).addClass("lookB");
return true;
});
});
So on click on the link, it removes lookB from any other link and applies it only to the clicked link.
Hope this helps a bit.
I believe the selector is:
#gallery a:focus {...}
This is (inevitably) applied variably across browsers, however.
Stu Nicholls has a demo over on CSS Play, this demo being to remove the default outline of the focussed element, and otherwise style the clicked element.
Presumably this would be more reliably effected with jQuery, but it can be done with CSS.

So I want the button to link to page 2 at a certain height, like Wikipedia
I've tried linking it but it doesn't seem to do anything
<div class="button1">
<button><a id="#areas.html#location1"></a>Button1</button></div>
CSS
.button1 {
position: absolute;
top: 28%;
left: 22.2%;
}
Page 2
This is what you need.
Just use a button with link to another page then div or a and give it name="location1" to go direct to that section of the page.
Button to another page
<button onclick="location.href='areas.html#location1'" type="button">Button1</button>
If your area.html file
<div name="location1">
content
</div>
Okay after some trial and error and using the comments I think I fixed it allowing it to use the tag (also removed the hyperlink underline and color)
Credit for helping goes to Raptor & AlwaysHelping
This is linking button
<button> Button words</button>
This is the target div
<div id="locationlink1"></div>
And the CSS for color changing the hyperlink color to black
a
{
color: #000000;
}
How will i create a link in my menu that point to that same page . like what happend in this site http://nightswatch.afrcreative.com/ the about us is still in the same page not another page
This is acheived using anchor tags.
Refer here
You need to use anchor tags like so:
.tall {
height: 600px;
background: cyan;
}
.about {
height: 500px;
}
<div class="tall">
About
</div>
<div class="about">
<a name="about" />
<h1>About</h1>
</div>
You can then get fancy and intercept this with js to smoothly animate or use the scroll-behavior css property.
I want to highlight current page by using CSS, but somehow it doesn't work. Please take a look at my code below.
HTML
<body id="home">
<div id="mainNav">
<a href="/Dashboard/Index" id="navIndex">
<div class="circle text-uppercase">
<div class="icon23X27"><img src="~/Content/icons/dashBoard.png" width="23px" height="27px" align="middle" /></div><span class="textStyle">Dashboard</span>
</div>
</a>
<a href="/samples/register/" id="navRegister">
<div class="circle text-uppercase">
<div class="icon23X27"><img src="~/Content/icons/samples.png" width="23px" height="27px" align="middle" /></div><span class="textStyle">Sample Registration</span>
</div> </a>
<a href="/samples/search/">
.........
</div>
CSS
body#/samples/register a#navRegister .textStyle {
background-color:red !important
}
The syntax is wrong. Use this way:
body a#navRegister[href="/samples/register"] .textStyle {
background-color:red !important
}
Yours is a worst example of having div inside <a>, which is similar to having a bottle inside some water, not water inside bottle, which is right one.
Take your body ID, in this case #home and combine it with the id on the home nave element, in this case #navIndex:
#home #navIndex .textStyle {
background-color: red;
}
Then you can add a selector for each of your pages to catch the current page in the nav with css alone:
#home #navIndex .textStyle,
#register #navRegister .textStyle {
background-color: red;
}
Drop the !important it's only necessary in a couple of edge cases in css and should be avoided (I appreciate one of those edge cases is just trying to definitely make a selector show some visible effect, which may well be what you're doing with the posted css).
You'd also benefit from using classes instead of ids as css selectors.
Caveat:
It's probably better to render this in the html server side as the server can use the request URL to decide which nav item is current. That way you can just add a selected-nav-text class to your current nav span and your css becomes:
.selected-nav-text {
background-color: red;
}
This is simpler, you can write logic once server side to calculate the current nav and css once to highlight it, then when you change your nav the functionality will come instantly.
This question already has answers here:
Make a div into a link
(30 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I want to make it so that a whole div is clickable and links to another page when clicked without JavaScript and with valid code/markup.
If I have this which is what I want the result to do -
<a href="#">
<div>This is a link</div>
</a>
The W3C validator says that block elements shouldn't be placed inside an inline element. Is there a better way to do this?
It is possible to make a link fill the entire div which gives the appearance of making the div clickable.
CSS:
#my-div {
background-color: #f00;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
a.fill-div {
display: block;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
text-decoration: none;
}
HTML:
<div id="my-div">
</div>
<div onclick="location.href='#';" style="cursor: pointer;">
</div>
a whole div links to another page when clicked without javascript and
with valid code, is this possible?
Pedantic answer: No.
As you've already put on another comment, it's invalid to nest a div inside an a tag.
However, there's nothing preventing you from making your a tag behave very similarly to a div, with the exception that you cannot nest other block tags inside it. If it suits your markup, set display:block on your a tag and size / float it however you like.
If you renege on your question's premise that you need to avoid javascript, as others have pointed our you can use the onClick event handler. jQuery is a popular choice for making this easy and maintainable.
Update:
In HTML5, placing a <div> inside an <a> is valid.
See http://dev.w3.org/html5/markup/a.html#a-changes (thanks Damien)
Without JS, I am doing it like this:
My HTML:
<div class="container">
<div class="sometext">Some text here</div>
<div class="someothertext">Some other text here</div>
text of my link
</div>
My CSS:
.container{
position: relative;
}
.container.a{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
text-indent: -9999px; //these two lines are to hide my actual link text.
overflow: hidden; //these two lines are to hide my actual link text.
}
My solution without JavaScript/images. Only CSS and HTML. It works in all browsers.
HTML:
<a class="add_to_cart" href="https://www.example.com" title="Add to Cart!">
buy now<br />free shipping<br />no further costs
</a>
CSS:
.add_to_cart:hover {
background-color:#FF9933;
text-decoration:none;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
.add_to_cart {
cursor:pointer;
background-color:#EC5500;
display:block;
text-align:center;
margin-top:8px;
width:90px;
height:31px;
border-radius:5px;
border-width:1px;
border-style:solid;
border-color:#E70000;
}
Nesting block level elements in anchors is not invalid anymore in HTML5. See http://html5doctor.com/block-level-links-in-html-5/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-a-element.html.
I'm not saying you should use it, but in HTML5 it's fine to use <div></div>.
The accepted answer is otherwise the best one. Using JavaScript like others suggested is also bad because it would make the "link" inaccessible (to users without JavaScript, which includes search engines and others).
jQuery would allow you to do that.
Look up the click() function:
http://api.jquery.com/click/
Example:
$('#yourDIV').click(function() {
alert('You clicked the DIV.');
});
Well you could either add <a></a> tags and place the div inside it, adding an href if you want the div to act as a link. Or else just use Javascript and define an 'OnClick' function. But from the limited information provided, it's a bit hard to determine what the context of your problem is.
.clickable {
cursor:pointer;
}
Something like this?
<div onclick="alert('test');">
</div>
AFAIK you will need at least a little bit of JavaScript...
I would suggest to use jQuery.
You can include this library in one line. And then you can access your div with
$('div').click(function(){
// do stuff here
});
and respond to the click event.
we are using like this
<label for="1">
<div class="options">
<input type="radio" name="mem" id="1" value="1" checked="checked"/>option one
</div>
</label>
<label for="2">
<div class="options">
<input type="radio" name="mem" id="2" value="1" checked="checked"/>option two
</div></label>
using
<label for="1">
tag and catching is with
id=1
hope this helps.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish in HTML/CSS:
I have images in different heights and widths, but they are all under 180x235. So what I want to do is create a div with border and vertical-align: middle them all. I have successfully done that but now I am stuck on how to properly a href link the entire div.
Here is my code:
<div id="parentdivimage" style="position:relative;width:184px;height:235px;border-width:2px;border-color:black;border-style:solid;text-align:center;">
<div id="childdivimage" style="position:absolute;top:50%;height:62px;margin-top:-31px;">
<img src="myimage.jpg" height="62" width="180">
</div>
</div>
Please note that for the sake of copy pasting here easily, the style code is inline.
I read somewhere that I can simply add another parent div on top of the code and then do a href inside that. However, based on some research it won't be valid code.
So to sum it up again, I need the entire div (#parentdivimage) to be a href link.
UPDATE 06/10/2014: using div's inside a's is semantically correct in HTML5.
You'll need to choose between the following scenarios:
<a href="http://google.com">
<div>
Hello world
</div>
</a>
which is semantically incorrect, but it will work.
<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="window.location='http://google.com';">
Hello world
</div>
which is semantically correct but it involves using JS.
<a href="http://google.com">
<span style="display: block;">
Hello world
</span>
</a>
which is semantically correct and works as expected but is not a div any more.
Why don't you strip out the <div> element and replace it with an <a> instead? Just because the anchor tag isn't a div doesn't mean you can't style it with display:block, a height, width, background, border, etc. You can make it look like a div but still act like a link. Then you're not relying on invalid code or JavaScript that may not be enabled for some users.
Do it like this:
Parentdivimage should have specified width and height, and its position should be:
position: relative;
Just inside the parentdivimage, next to other divs that parent contains you should put:
<span class="clickable"></span>
Then in css file:
.clickable {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
top: 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
}
The span tag will fill out its parent block which is parentdiv, because of height and width set to 100%. Span will be on the top of all of surrounding elements because of setting z-index higher than other elements. Finally span will be clickable, because it's inside of an 'a' tag.
Going off of what Surreal Dreams said, it's probably best to style the anchor tag in my experience, but it really does depend on what you are doing. Here's an example:
Html:
<div class="parent-div">
Test
Test
Test
</div>
Then the CSS:
.parent-div {
width: 200px;
}
a {
display:block;
background-color: #ccc;
color: #000;
text-decoration:none;
padding:10px;
margin-bottom:1px;
}
a:hover {
background-color: #ddd;
}
http://jsbin.com/zijijuduqo/1/edit?html,css,output
Two things you can do:
Change #childdivimage to a span element, and change #parentdivimage to an anchor tag. This may require you to add some more styling to get things looking perfect. This is preffered, since it uses semantic markup, and does not rely on javascript.
Use Javascript to bind a click event to #parentdivimage. You must redirect the browser window by modifying window.location inside this event. This is TheEasyWayTM, but will not degrade gracefully.
I'm surprised no one suggested this simple trick so far! (denu does something similar though.)
If you want a link to cover an entire div, an idea would be to create an empty <a> tag as the first child:
<div class="covered-div">
<a class="cover-link" href="/my-link"></a>
<!-- other content as usual -->
</div>
div.covered-div {
position: relative;
}
a.cover-link {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
This works especially great when using <ul> to create block sections or slideshows and you want the whole slide to be a link (instead of simply the text on the slide). In the case of an <li> it's not valid to wrap it with an <a> so you'd have to put the cover link inside the item and use CSS to expand it over the entire <li> block.
Do note that having it as the first child means it will make other links or buttons inside the text unreachable by clicks. If you want them to be clickable, then you'd have to make it the last child instead.
In the case of the original question:
<div id="parentdivimage" style="position:relative;width:184px;height:235px;border-width:2px;border-color:black;border-style:solid;text-align:center;">
<a class="cover-link" href="/my-link"></a> <!-- Insert this empty link here and use CSS to expand it over the entire div -->
<div id="childdivimage" style="position:absolute;top:50%;height:62px;margin-top:-31px;">
<img src="myimage.jpg" height="62" width="180">
</div>
<!-- OR: it can also be here if the childdivimage divs should have their own clickable links -->
</div>
Make the div of id="childdivimag" a span instead, and wrap that in an a element. As the span and img are in-line elements by default this remains valid, whereas a div is a block level element, and therefore invalid mark-up when contained within an a.
put display:block on the anchor element. and/or zoom:1;
but you should just really do this.
a#parentdivimage{position:relative; width:184px; height:235px;
border:2px solid #000; text-align:center;
background-image:url("myimage.jpg");
background-position: 50% 50%;
background-repeat:no-repeat; display:block;
text-indent:-9999px}
<a id="parentdivimage">whatever your alt attribute was</a>
This can be done in many ways.
a. Using nested inside a tag.
<a href="link1.html">
<div> Something in the div </div>
</a>
b. Using the Inline JavaScript Method
<div onclick="javascript:window.location.href='link1.html' ">
Some Text
</div>
c. Using jQuery inside tag
HTML:
<div class="demo" > Some text here </div>
jQuery:
$(".demo").click( function() {
window.location.href="link1.html";
});
I simply do
onClick="location.href='url or path here'"
What I would do is put a span inside the <a> tag, set the span to block, and add size to the span, or just apply the styling to the <a> tag. Definitely handle the positioning in the <a> tag style. Add an onclick event to the a where JavaScript will catch the event, then return false at the end of the JavaScript event to prevent default action of the href and bubbling of the click. This works in cases with or without JavaScript enabled, and any AJAX can be handled in the Javascript listener.
If you're using jQuery, you can use this as your listener and omit the onclick in the a tag.
$('#idofdiv').live("click", function(e) {
//add stuff here
e.preventDefault; //or use return false
});
this allows you to attach listeners to any changed elements as necessary.
A link with <div> tags:
<div style="cursor: pointer;" onclick="window.location='http://www.google.com';">
Something in the div
</div>
A link with <a> tags:
<a href="http://www.google.com">
<div>
Something in the div
</div>
</a>
