CSS Grid not applying on media queries - css

I don't know why grid values are not applying on settled #media 992 breakpoint on different _large.scss file, I think I'm using scss and #use correctly beacuse other properties are reacting properly on that breakpoint. (https://i.stack.imgur.com/VSnpN.jpg)
I have line in html like someone asked
In addition when I unmark grid values from main.scss values are changing like I wanted.

It's not because of Sass or #use, You should set the display of the parent as the grid to grid-row or grid-column works on child elements.
In your case, .header should be set display: grid
Update
I reviewed this again, It's just a priority problem, Try it with !important in #media properties, or addressed it more specified (Ex. : use 'body' before .header to give it more priority in #media codes.

Correctly apply CSS for responsive text

I am trying to reduce the size of some titles of my commerce in responsive version. I have tried a bit of css but nothing has worked.
At the moment, I have the following for the main slider text:
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {.zphero-banner-style-11 .zpheading, .zshero-banner-style-11 .zpheading {font-size: 22px;;}}
This is my web
enter image description here
Where am I going wrong?
Your css path currently looks like this.
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.zphero-banner-style-11 .zpheading, .zshero-banner-style-11 .zpheading {
font-size: 22px;;
}
}
Without the associated HTML its hard to say but my initial guess is the classes that are already applied on it have greater importance than your new media query. I would try this adding !important and if it doesnt work make your selector more specific.
#media (max-width: 600px) {
.zphero-banner-style-11 .zpheading, .zshero-banner-style-11 .zpheading {
font-size: 22px !important;
}
}
fun things to note about selector importance:
100 points for IDs
10 points for classes and pseudo-classes
1 point for tag selectors and pseudo-elements
Note: If the element has inline styling that automatically wins (1000 points)
Among two selector styles browser will always choose the one with more weight. Order of your stylesheets only matters when priorities are even - that's why it is not easy to override Bootstrap.
currently your media query css selectors have a value of 20 points because there are 2 class names pointing to the change
CSS declarations marked as important override any other declarations within the same cascade layer and origin. Although technically, !important has nothing to do with specificity, it interacts directly with specificity and the cascade. It reverses the cascade order of stylesheets. Not the best practice but it works well often

Conflicting !Important Declarations in CSS

I am making some changes to a CSS template which was written by other developers. There is a place where a certain block gets duplicated. The first version is hidden for the wide-screen display and vice-versa.
I am not sure why it was not possible to utilize just one to do both, but apparently it is somewhat of a common practice. Perhaps it is because this hidden section is displayed as a narrow wide column (using Bootstrap 4) on the right-hand side of the screen, whereas in the mobile version it is displayed above the content in the wide column. But I digress ... Perhaps someone could comment on this bit.
The actual question is as follows.
Suppose we have a class
#media (min-width: 768px)
.d-md-none {
display: none!important;
}
What I would like to do is to display it for the print because it is easier to style it rather than the instance of the same block that is meant for the wide screen. So, in the print media styles, I attempt to do something like this
.d-md-none {
display: block important!;
}
However, I do not see it displayed. What is a prudent course of action here?
Add your print styles at the end of your existing CSS within a rule like so:
#media print {
...
}
Also as mentioned by other commenters, you have a typo in your !important declaration (the exclamation goes before the word important).

Remove important styles in CSS

Im using google places api for a place autocomplete search - the user starts typing and results pop up.
I've styled the google container using !important to override the styles. So for my desktop css through media queries I have something like:
bottom: 100px !important;
top: auto !important;
Now on my mobile css, again through media queries, I need to move the position, I need the default styles back - the styles are controlled via google in the style tag on the element. But as I have used important i cannot remove them. I have tried:
bottom: auto !important;
Which fixes the bottom position, but how can I remove the top position so that it defaults to what is in the style tag on the element. I've tried:
top: auto !important;
top: inherit !important;
But with no luck.
Using that many !important 's is messy.
A few suggestions: (based on the little code your showing)
2. Don't override an :auto with an :auto. Try to override the styles with a number that give you similar look as :auto
3. Try removing all !important s and call the unique CSS within their perspective media query resolutions, properly. eg.
#media screen and (min-width:320px) and (max-width:480){
... // Your unique styles to Mobile Here
}
4. If all else fails; though, don't know why it would. You can .toggleClass with jQuery to attach a class within a condition. And .removeClass whenever you want. A simple fiddle of .toggleClass (demo) here.
But you really should just be able to clean up your CSS and put everything in their specific media query defined resolutions.
You should be able to do this by increasing specificity on your mobile css file and adding an !important value to this new value in the mobile stylesheet.
I'm not sure of your structure without seeing your html but if you can add an additional class or id to the parent container/element that is specific to mobile css and use that to target your mobile view
for example
#mymobile .classtooverride {newstyles !important;}

Responsive CSS styles inline on the fly

I am currently working on a highly design orientated site based on wordpress CMS.
Currently I have a responsive main stylesheet linked externally for the core css. As the site relies heavily on spacing and alignments of both text and images it has become necessary to add inline css using style= HTML to sometimes override the external CSS.
The problem I have is that in most cases certain elements such as margins need to be a different percentage in the mobile view than the desktop view to balance the visual composition. Is there any way to add responsiveness to the inline CSS based on screen width as can be done in an external style sheet?
So far the only way I can think of achieving this is through jQuery amending the external CSS based on the users screen width however this would mean setting up strict rules in the JS eg: for desktop view having margins set at 70% and for mobile setting them to 90%.
If it could be possible to do this inline using html style then this would give my client stricter control and more flexibility. Luckily my client is well versed in CSS.
You could always add a block of css inline with a style element:
<style type="text/css">
#media screen and (min-width:800px) {
.inlineOverride {
/* add more styles here */
}
}
</style>
<div class="inlineOverride">
</div>
It's worth mentioning that HTML5 has introduced a scoped attribute that you can set on the style element to limit the specified style information to the style element's parent element, and that element's descendants.
It isn't widely supported yet, so shouldn't be relied on, but it could be useful in the long term to help prevent inline styles like this from "leaking" into other parts of the document.
This question/answer might be helpful for you(read it thoroughly)
use #media for adjusting your properties of css according to device width-height.
What does #media screen and (max-width: 1024px) mean in CSS?
In modern Browsers you can (kind of) archive this by using custom css properties (css variables):
#media (max-width: 1100px) {
* {
color: var(--color-sm)
}
}
<a style="--color-sm: #11f">Text</a>
(Expand Snippet or open in full page to get the other behavior)
(Color is used for simplicity of presentation, just use margin or any other css property according to your use case.)

Can I define my custom CSS media?

I need to override main CSS of an application with my own CSS. Is there a good way of doing it ? One way is !important tag, which I want to avoid.
I was just thinking whether I can create a custom CSS media and define my CSS for that particular media. This way I can have main app CSS defined for all but my custom media.
CSS wil overwrite itself if you use the same selectors, so you won't need !important.
So:
.my-div .my-span {
color: green;
}
will be overwritten by:
.my-div .my-span {
color: red;
}
but not by:
.my-span {
color: red;
}
Yea, you can use media queries to target certain screen sizes. for example like:
#media screen and (device-width: 360px) and (device-height: 640px)
A main "feature" of Cascading Style Sheets is its cascading effect.
An amended quote on this from a number of places on the internet:
Cascade is the special part. A style sheet is intended to cascade
through a series of style rules, like a river over a waterfall. The
water in the river hits all the rocks in the waterfall, but only the
ones at the bottom affect exactly where the water will flow. The same
is true of the cascade in style sheets.
So as long as you specify the exact same rules but change some property values inside those rules, and you make sure they are loaded after the original rules, they will override the previously specified property values inside those rules. If you skip a property value in the new rule, the previously specified property value will remain in force for that property.
Media queries are the best answer to defining styles for a specific type of media. It lets you specify rules specifically for certain screen sizes.
If your particular target media cannot be properly identified by querying screen size but needs JavaScript to be identified. You could write some JavaScript which loads a style sheet when the document is loaded, in that case you only have to make sure it is loaded after the original style sheet, and it will then override styles with the same specificity.
