I'm trying to target an element by ID somewhere within an element which I have successfully targeted.
So this is the actual working CSS now:
#parentElement>div>div>div>#childElement {
display: none;
}
I'm sure I must be having a bad day but what I really want to do, to make it a little more robust is just write CSS (not jQuery or JavaScript) to do the following:
for all #childElement within #parentElement apply { display: none; }.
Is this a straightforward bit of CSS?
If you want all #childElement within #parentElement apply { display: none; }
just write
#parentElement #childElement { display: none; }
It will be enough.
But you should knew, id recommended to bu unique, used only once per page. Use class instead for children.

First - sorry for the title - if you have a better suggestion as to what it should be named then please let me know.
I'm not sure if this is possible in the CSS hierarchy.
I have multiple elements and each one can have a .show class added to it, to show the the content.
I'd like to set a rule, so if the .show class has been added - any of the same element without (.show) it are then hidden.
My current not working attempt is to use:
.team_item {
display: grid;
&.show {
&:not(.show){
display: none;
}
}
So the logic would be:
element - should be visible
element + show class - element & inner content visible
element + show class - all elements without the show class should be hidden (display: none).
But I think I am trying to go back up the hierarchy in the CSS (scss).
Any help would be great.
Note: I'm fully aware that I can write JS to tackle this issue but was looking for a css (scss) solution.
I believe it needs to be along those lines:
$team-item-display:'block';
.wrapper {
#function hideElement() {
$team-item-display:'none';
#return 0;
}
&.show{
hideElement()
}
&:not(.show){
display:$team-item-display;
}
}
The direction of the solution is in calling a function that will set a different value of a variable that elements with no .show class use.
I havent tested the code. Hopefully it works.
I need to add more page name values beyond, "details". What are my options?
:host([page=details]) .menu-btn {
display: none;
}
:host(:not([page=details])) .back-btn {
display: none;
}
I should add that the "page" variable is a js property in my html file. I'm asking here because I don't even know what terms to use in my google search.
Thank you Greg McMullen, for pointing me to the documentation on attribute selectors.
Below is the solution that worked for all page values beginning with "details-". (Notice the vertical pipe in front of the equals and no trailing hyphen after"details".) For example, values including, "details-1", "details-2", and "details-3".
:host([page|=details]) .menu-btn {
display: none;
}
:host(:not([page|=details])) .back-btn {
display: none;
}
Technically, in my case, the "page" variable is not a html element attribute, in the strict definition.
The , CSS "combinator" allows you to set up multiple selectors and acts as an "and"/"or" operator so that you can specify several selectors that should all share the same rule:
:host([page=details]), :host([page=details2]), :host([page=details3]) { . . .}
And, you can just specify the attribute itself (no value) to match all elements that simply have the attribute (regardless of the value):
:host([page])
For a button I have 3 possible classes: "state-normal", "state-focus" and "state-hover".
All have the same attributes (background, border, ...), but different values for the
attributes.
If a button gets "state-focus", I do not want to remove the class "state-normal".
If a button is "state-focus" and gets "state-hover", I do not want to remove the class
"state-focus".
In the browser language specification you can give a "quality"/priority to a language:
"Accept-Language: da, en-gb;q=0.8, en;q=0.7"
It would be great to do the same also in css:
.state-normal { background-color: #aaaaaa;q=0.5 }
.state-focus { background-color: #bbbbbb;q=0.7 }
.state-hover { background-color: #eeeeee;q=0.9 }
I know that there is nothing in CSS.
But, I know in jQuery UI they have kind of this, because they don't remove "ui-state-default" when they assign "ui-state-focus" to an element. How do they do it?
Is there another way to implement this with a trick (WITHOUT !IMPORTANT).
Thanks alot in advance
You can do this using CSS.
.state-normal { background-color: #aaaaaa;q=0.5 }
.state-normal.state-focus { background-color: #bbbbbb;q=0.7 }
.state-focus.state-hover { background-color: #eeeeee;q=0.9 }
But this implies that all classes mentioned in the rule will be present, i.e. an element will have both classes present. So an element with class state-focus will not have the background-color set as per the rule.
If you want to avoid that, then you can do this instead:
.state-normal { background-color: #aaaaaa;q=0.5 }
.state-focus, .state-normal.state-focus { background-color: #bbbbbb;q=0.7 }
.state-hover, .state-focus.state-hover { background-color: #eeeeee;q=0.9 }

Should css class names like 'floatleft' that directly describe the attached style be avoided?
I was wondering what the best practices were for the naming and usage of CSS classes.
For instance, in a scenario where you want to center the text of both the button text and the header text, is it better to repeat this style in both classes like
.button-text {
text-align: center;
/*some properties*/
}
.header-text {
text-align: center;
/*other properties*/
}
Or is it better practice to move that style out into a separate class like
.center {
text-align: center;
}
.button-text {
/*some properties*/
}
.header-text {
/*other properties*/
}
and have the class of "center" applied to elements that have the classes of "button-text" and "header-text".
What it comes down to, is, should CSS class names represent what an element is "button-text" or "state, what an element looks like "center"?
Thanks!
A CSS class should represent what you use the element for, not what the element looks like.
Consider that you have headers that are red and bold, and change the design to large blue letters instead. If you named your classes after the look of the headers, you end up with:
.RedBold {
color: blue;
font-size: 200%;
}
Having a class named center is definitely the wrong approach - this class name already implies the presentation, that's not the point of defining presentation in a separate file. A better way to avoid code duplication would be:
.button-text, .header-text {
text-align: center;
}
.button-text {
/*some properties*/
}
.header-text {
/*other properties*/
}
Another option is specifying multiple classes, e.g. class="button text" instead of class="button-text". This gives you:
.text {
text-align: center;
}
.button.text {
/*some properties*/
}
.header.text {
/*other properties*/
}
Unfortunately, this approach has to be ruled out if you need to support MSIE 6.0, all other browsers (including newer MSIE versions) deal with multiple classes correctly. As other people already noted which solution you choose is mainly a question of maintenance - choose the one that will be easier to change and adapt to new requirements.
Maintainability is king. Whatever you find most easy to maintain - in my opinion, this is your second example.
It depends how much you will center text, the issue with the second point is that you could then end up with a long list of classes added to each element in your HTML which isn't so clean.
If these happen in, for example, a p tag a lot, then you'd possibly be better off putting one class in the parent so the children can inherit it.
i tend to group items together example like
.button-text, .header-text{
text-align:center
}
then if they need something unique add that to another
ie
.button-text{
font-size:22px;
}
.header-text{
font-size:44px;
}
class name's should be usefull but its not a biggie, just ensure they are unique. Often i name things based on their hierarchy within a page or section, as to prevent any accidental duplication.
Is it possible to add additional rules to a css block when using a "{ (properties of x) }" selector?
I looked at references but I can't find anything related to "properties of x". A link would be wonderful. I tried the following two combinations, but neither worked:
.dock li { (properties of grid_2; display:inline; background-color:#666; ) }
.dock li { display:inline; background-color:#666; (properties of grid_2) }
Many thanks!
EDIT
Apparently I misread an article and thought that such a syntax existed. I thought one could create a class and let it inherit the properties of another using such syntax, which is evidently not the case.
CSS does not have such a feature.
What you are describing is not possible. I think there are two other possibilities you could maybe use. The first is, that you need to know that several styles can be applied to an element at the same time. I'll give you an example:
li { font-size: 10pt; }
.dock li { color: #ff0000; }
All list items will be formatted with a font size of 10 points and only those within an element containing the dock class will be red.
My second suggestion is that you try applying two or more classes to your HTML element, for instance:
.grid li { font-size: 10pt; }
.dock li { color: #ff0000; }
Now put the grid and dock class into your HTML, and the elements will apply both style definitions:
<ul class="grid dock"> ...
Whatever you consider best for your project: remember that the properties defined in the second style overwrite the properties of the first one (if they do not define the same properties at all, there will be no confusion).
maybe your question is not too strange..
What I understand is that you want to do something like:
.a { prop1: val; prop2: val; }
.b { prop3: val; prop4: val; }
.c { .a; .b; prop5: val; prop6: val; }
You want the class .c to inherit all the properties and values of .a and .b
If this is ok, you can do that using LESS.
To use your LESS code in your sites you have different ways to do it.
First of all check the original site: LESS.org
If you are on Mac check this site: LESS APP + PLUGINS
If you are on PC the less.js plugin should be easier to implement LESS in your sites: less.js usage
Hope it helps.
Happy coding y'all! :)
