I have added a custom font for this code. I am trying to get my h1 tag to inherit the font-weight:bold; css attribute.
In my css I have added the font-weight bold in the body tag where it should affect all the text. I have also tried placing it in the h1 tag in css.
The font-weight is affecting everything but the h1 tag. What is going on?
#font-face {
src:url(fonts/kohm.otf);
font-family:'kohm';
}
body{
background-color:silver;
color:white;
padding:20px 20px 20px 20px;
font-family:"kohm";
font-size: 14px;
font-weight:bold;
}
h1{
background-color:#ffffff;
background-color: hsla(0,100%, 100%, 0.5);
color:#64645A;
padding:inherit;
}
Ignore the question I found out that heading tags are already made bold so the font-weight:bold; attribute will not affect it. font-weight:normal; to un-bold it and adjust is font-size.
However when I am trying to italicize the font or make it oblique font-weight:italic; font-weight:oblique; it will not affect any of the text in the body paragraph. Why might that be?
You are using the wrong CSS syntax. You are using font-weight whereas you should be using font-style instead.
If you want to make the body paragraph italic, the correct syntax would be
p {
font-style: italic;
}
If you are trying to make it oblique, the correct syntax would be
p {
font-style:oblique;
}
I hope that helps!

I run into a situation where I need to override font-weight property. However, even though I use !important to increase its priority, it still gets overridden by other styles. As you can see in the following example, I am expecting hello world to be bolded, but it is using font-weight: normal instead. Any ideas? Thanks
body {
font-weight: bold !important;
}
div {
font-weight: normal;
}
<div>Hello World</div>
You can consider the universal selector if you want to make your font-weight to apply on the div and also other tags. (as i suspect you want to make all the page bold)
In your case you are appling the style to body and not the div element and style of child element always override the parent style even with the use of !important. So this rule will only work with element that inherit the font-weight from the body.
body *{
font-weight: bold !important;
}
div {
font-weight: normal;
}
<div>Hello World</div>
This has to do with binding priority of the styles. A way to resolve this is to make the rule more specific, e.g. by targeting body div instead:
body div {
font-weight: bold !important;
}
div {
font-weight: normal;
}
<div>Hello World</div>
However, please don't do this unless absolutely completely unavoidable. !important is a hack at best. If you are in control of the HTML, just introduce a class or use a more relevant selector.
I am working on a website where I would like the paragraphs and h2 tags to have the same appearance visually.
I have looked through the code so many times but cannot see why they appear (ever so slightly) different.
I am hoping a fresh pair of eyes may be able to spot it. I want the h2 tag to be styled the same as the paragraphs.
The website is here.
h2{
padding-bottom: 5px;
color: #808080;
**letter-spacing: -1px;**
line-height: 1em;
font-weight: normal;}
have letter-spacing: -1px; for p element and it will appear the same
Your header tags have a letter spacing of -1px (defined in style.css on line 56):
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { padding-bottom: 5px; color: #808080; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 1em; font-weight: normal; }
I was able to determine this using Chrome's developer tools by inspecting the h2 and the p tags in the Elements panel, and looking through the computed styles in the Styles tab to see what's different about them. I noticed the h2 has letter-spacing, whereas the p does not:
It's about CSS trick.
For example:
<style>
body {
font-size:12px;
line-height:1.100;
font-family:arial;
}
h2 {
font-size:12px;
font-weight:300;
line-height:1.100;
display:inline;
font-family:arial;
}
</style>
we need <h2>our product</h2>
The focus you should take notice is the size of font, font-weight and display. Hoe this helps

I have the following html5 code. I expected the style for the text Business Ads to be italic and color in yellow. But it comes in red.
Can only certain styles be applied to the aside element?
CSS:
aside h4 {
font-style: italic !important;
color: yellow;
}
article h4 {
font-style: normal;
color: red;
}
HTML:
<div>
<article>
<aside>
<h4>Business Ads</h4>
</aside>
</article>
</div>
This is a result of the way CSS specificity works. The page here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Specificity
provides a good explanation. In this case, since both style declarations refer to an h1 within a larger element, they have equal specificity, and the latest declared style takes precedence. You can override this with !important, but it's usually considered bad style because it breaks the "cascading" nature of CSS. Instead, use a more specific selector:
article aside h1 {
//style goes here
}
You override the rules the way you have set your CSS. Both rules target same element, so the second one will override the first one and apply to the element.
For example if you set the oppossite order to your rules like this :
article h4 {
font-style: normal;
color: red;
}
aside h4 {
font-style: italic !important;
color: yellow;
}
the second one will aply and h4 will be yellow an italic
So if you have an h4 also inside article you can use this:
article aside h4 {
font-style: italic !important;
color: yellow;
}
article h4 {
font-style: normal;
color: red;
}
DEMO
You must be more specific with the selector so that the rule it is assigned to overrides the "default" one. You can the remove the !important which isn't the best way to override existing rules when you can use other techniques.
DEMO
article aside h4 {
font-style: italic;
color: yellow;
}
article h4 {
font-style: normal;
color: red;
}
You're targeting the same h4 element but you gave it with different styles
and the last one was read. Just delete
article h4 {
font-style: normal;
color: red;
}
and remove the !important in the first selector.
And if you're targeting different h4 tags inside an article or aside tag, what you can do is put classes or span on them.
Even though I have set text-decoration to none, an underline is still showing on the h1 element. If you want to see the full css, go here. I am new to css, and this is just an adapted version of some code I found on the internet, sorry if the problem is obvious. If the problem isn't with the bellow code (which is where I think it probably is) then I will add in other relevant code.
You can see the page this is working on here
#pagetop h1 , a:visited
{
display:block;
float:left;
line-height:90px;
color:#FFFFFF;
text-align:left;
font-size:27px;
font-weight:bold;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
float:left;
margin-left:23px;
text-decoration:none;
}
There is text decoration in your link in the h1 tag.
Add this style:
h1 a
{
text-decoration:none;
}
Your CSS selector #pagetop h1 , a:visited states that you would like to apply those styles to an h1 and also an a in its visited state.
The comma in your code represents a list of separate selectors rather than a combined selector. In your case you don't need to separately specify the same styles for both the h1 and the a.
What you want to select is an a that is a descendant of an h1 within #pagetop (so that it isn't applied to all h1s):
#pagetop h1 a { text-decoration: none; }
On my website I have an <H1> (the first one) with a title in it but it is all cramped. I've checked the CSS and can't see why it is all squeezed together. Can you help me find the culprit?
Its because of this:
style.css(line 115)
body{
12px/1.5em sans-serif <===
...
}
You set line-height on the body, and you're surprised that the line height is messed up? Remove that style and you're all fixed.
set your line-height to 1 (default). line-height: 1;
Most likely this line:
.entry h1, .entry h2, .entry h3, .entry h4, .entry h5, .entry h6 { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin:0 0 0.5em; line-height:1.5em; }
Which is in swatch/styles.css.
That line-height property is probably the issue.
Specify line-height for your headings. By looking at the font, try a line-height: 1.1em. i.e.
h1{
line-height: 1.1em;
}
You need to set your line-height in your css. For example
h1
{
line-height: 30px;
}
Hope this helps
Whats messing your H1 is the font: 12px/1.5em sans-serif; in your body style in you style.css line 115.
The element enclosing the h1 element has its width set to 50%. This forces the long heading across several lines. Remove that setting and shorten the heading.
Another same answer, but necessary:
Somehow unset line-heights for h1..6 are inherited from parent elements if parent elements have set line-heights. Tested in Firefox 24, Chrome 30 and ie8.
So here is another line for the reset area of css, to reset h1..6 line-heights and to prevent inherit behaviour:
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 {
line-height:normal; /*otherwise line-height is inherited*/
}
