my HTML is:
<div>
<img src="random image (doesn't matter)"></img>
</div>
How would I make my div draggable like setting draggable = "true"; in html but I am looking for a css only alternative.
What I have tried:
I had a look at https://css-tricks.com/books/greatest-css-tricks/draggable-elements/ but this answer seem too complex and I feel like there could be a better solution.
Another question (Setting html tag attributes from css) was looking at setting a HTML attribute in css (in this case draggable) and I don't believe that it is possible looking at the answers.
HTML elements can't be made draggable using CSS only. You will need to use JavaScript to make an element draggable. You can make use of the HTML5 draggable attribute for this:
<div draggable="true">Your Content Here</div>
You can also use JavaScript libraries such as jQuery UI to make elements draggable:
$( "#yourElement" ).draggable();
Or use vanilla JavaScript and interact with the HTML5 drag & drop API:
const yourElement = document.querySelector('#yourElement');
yourElement.addEventListener("dragstart", function(event) {
event.dataTransfer.setData("text", event.target.id);
});
Note: that there are many ways to make elements draggable and the exact implementation depends on your requirements and the complexity of the drag-and-drop interactions you want to support.

Is it possible to insert -- dynamically generated -- content with CSS into the same website a second time, let's say a div-container like this: <div id="duplicate-me">dynamically generated content</div>
CSS is used to style content that exists or will eventually exist on a page. It can't load or insert dynamic content to a page. It can control showing/hiding content on a page, but the content needs to be placed there first (with the exception of psuedo-classes, but that's not really "dynamic"). As others have mentioned, Javascript/jQuery is what you are needing to use to achieve what you are wanting.
Using pseudo element's in CSS we can kind of create an element and style it in CSS. But then this has it's own limitations.
Javascript is what will essentially help you achieve this using document.createElement() method and other methods line appendChild() etc
CSS cannot be used for duplicating, but you can use javascript to duplicate div,p or any other element. We do it like
In the html file
<head>
<!--all other stuff-->
<script src='sketch.js'></script>
</head>
in the sketch.js file
var dupElem = document.createElement('div');
dupElem.id = "duplicate-me";
document.body.appendChild(dupElem);
//to manipulate the text content we do
dupElem.textContent = "some lorem ipsum"
//or else you can do a for loop
for (let i = 0;i < 3;i++){
document.body.appendChild(dupElem);
}
It is possible to make a copy of a node element but you need Javascript to do that.
<div class="duplicate-me">dynamically generated content</div>
In your Javascript:
let nodeToClone = document.getElementsByClassName("duplicate-me")[0];
let newClone = nodeToClone.cloneNode(true);
document.body.appendChild(newClone);
Please note that id needs to be unique in the document. That is why I used class.
Here you can learn more about clone.
O.K., JavaScript then. I'll look into it. Thank you for the answers. :-)
super css noob here.
I'm using a wordpress plugin called visual composer which allows you to name a Row (it's like a block element) with a Row ID or a Class name. I'm trying to have it so when a user hovers over this row and when they click it, this clicking will simply take them to another page within my website.
It allows for an area to have the css for this class or ID that I can associate with the tag, but after searching I'm either searching the wrong thing or can't find it but I am looking for the css that would allow me to do this!
You can't only use css to link to other page, you need javascript. For example the class name is linkPage:
document.getElementsByClassName('linkPage')[0].onclick = function(){
location.href= 'some url...'
}
<div class="linkPage">linkPage</div>
You'd need to inject a bit of JS into the theme that listens on window for a click with the desired ID or class, then call window.location.href = URL or something of that nature.
CSS doesn't have the power to cause browser location changes.
CSS
CSS (Cascading Style Sheet), as its name states, defines a set of rules and properties for an HTML page you wish to style (stuff like colors, size, asf); and user interaction (even as minor as pointing to an URL) are not part of its scope.
Basic
Talking about a giant like WordPress and a strong plugin such as Visual Composer, extremely old and standard features like link/image/table asf are always to be found. You may have a look at visual composer's "Raw HTML" feature (https://vc.wpbakery.com/features/content-elements/) in combination with a regular "a" tag (http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp).
Editable
Asking how page linking can be achieved through editing of a CSS file, then you might as well look into different editable content types of the plugin - such as HTML or JS.
Click on table row
Best approach to have table cells/rows clickable would be by the use of JavaScript; see Adding an onclick event to a table row
Link using jQuery and Javascript (easier method):
$(".link").click(function(){
window.location.replace('https://www.example.com');
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
Link using pure Javascript (harder method):
x = document.querySelectorAll('.link').length;
y = 1;
while (x => y) {
document.getElementsByClassName("link")[y].onclick = function() {
window.location.replace("https://www.example.com");
};
y++;
}
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
<div class="link">link</div>
Hy, I have the following situation:
I am trying to change the design of my feedly-index page. (I can not change the HTML)
And I am facing a problem I coulnd't solve the past two hours.
In the HTML there are some div elements with random IDs and '_content' at the end.
Within these div's there is an img tag - what I want to do is to wrap this img-tag with an anchor-tag to make it clickable.
Situation:
<div id='{SOME_RANDOM_ID}_content'>
// a bit of text, a few <br> and some other tags here
<img src='LINK_TO_AN_IMAGE'>
</div>
What I want as outcome:
<div id='{SOME_RANDOM_ID}_content'>
// a bit of text, a few <br> and some other tags here
<a href='LINK_TO_AN_IMAGE'>
<img src='LINK_TO_AN_IMAGE'>
</a>
</div>
Is this even possible with CSS?
I could make it work with JavaScript, but the div's are loaded dynamically via AJAX:/
So the JavaScript Script would just run for the current div's but not the one which are loaded dynamically.
It's not possible with just CSS because CSS is meant or styling the page and not or adding dynamic elements to the page.
But we can do it using JS.
As you are creating those elements using ajax call. On the success callback of the ajax call, you can wrap the image with a tags.
for example:
$.ajax({
url : "/make.php"
}).done(function() {
var images = $("div img");
$.each(images, function() {
$(this).replaceWith($("<a href=''>"+this.outerHTML+"</a>")); //construct url dynamically via some variable
});
});
DEMO
If you are not able to edit the html this could be tricky.
It can't be done with pure css... css can't create links.. I mean it could be possible with js i suppose, besides that if the ids are random it makes it even more difficult.
--edit additional--
If you could wrap the whole area that holds the divs inside a div then you might have a chance with jquery...
e.g:
<div id="holderdiv">
<div id='{SOME_RANDOM_ID}_content'>
// a bit of text, a few <br> and some other tags here
<img src='LINK_TO_AN_IMAGE'>
</div>
</div>
You can then use jquery to make all instances of #holderdiv > div > img a link to the image path?
I have finally figured out how to use the Twitter Bootstrap Tooltips, and I am trying to style it. I have asked similar questions about other plugins, and they all ended up being specific CSS selectors. For jScrollPane, the track's selector was .jspTrack.
Fiddle
My question is, what is the CSS selector for the Twitter Bootstrap tooltips?
The documentation linked in the comments shows you a sample of the markup that's produced when a tooltip is generated:
Markup
The generated markup of a tooltip is rather simple, though it does require a position (by default, set to top by the plugin).
<div class="tooltip">
<div class="tooltip-inner">
Tooltip!
</div>
<div class="tooltip-arrow"></div>
</div>
It should be fairly easy to determine the CSS selector based on this.
There are additional class names attached to .tooltip that you can see if you open your browser's DOM inspector and then hover your form element. The one in your example generates the following .tooltip element:
<div class="tooltip fade right in" style="…">
If you need to select only the tooltip belonging to a specific trigger element, that depends on where exactly the tooltip is placed in the DOM. The documentation says (just above the first section I quoted):
Usage
The tooltip plugin generates content and markup on demand, and by default places tooltips after their trigger element.
So the selector would be .mytrigger + .tooltip where .mytrigger is the form element triggering that tooltip. The DOM position is determined by the container option, otherwise it's the default as stated.
Lets say I want to display tool tips for links using the title attribute:
<a class="editcommand" title="Edit" ...>
Is there a way to specify the title text for all elements of the same class using CSS, so I don't have to repeat it within each element?
CSS is only for the content of the style="" attribute, not other HTML tags. This sounds like a job for Javascript. If you're using jQuery here's an example:
$('a').attr('title', 'My universal title');
Unfortunately, no, CSS does not provide that ability. Since title is an HTML attribute (besides the <title> element of course), it's up to the markup structure (DOM) to define it, not the style (CSS).
With JavaScript it's just a matter of attaching the attribute to a set of DOM elements with that class. But again, that's modifying the DOM elements themselves, not their style properties.
