I was working on an example for md-datatable found on Git Hub It worked well but when I tried to adjust thw column size as it consumes extra space in table th styling codes where overirdden by md-data-table.min.css file. Please help me to reduce the spacing between columns of table.
Have a look at the less file https://github.com/daniel-nagy/md-data-table/blob/master/app/styles/app.less and try to alter everything under following selector (line 41):
md-toolbar.md-table-toolbar.alternate {
color: #1e88e5;
background-color: #e3f2fd;
.md-toolbar-tools {
font-size: 16px;
}
}

I am looking to present a set of properties. key: val type-of-thing. Not knowing any better, I am laying it out in a table.
The following css:
table.properties td:first-child {
text-align: right;
}
table.properties td:first-child::after {
content: ":";
}
aligns the text in the 1st column (the keys) to the right, then appends a semicolon.
Is there a way to express that in a more concise way? Like in a single rule? Or maybe such presentation is better done in another manner altogether?
Appreciate a tip!
I want to create custom css unit, that I'll be able to use in sass with node.js. Is there any guide about creating sass plugin for this? Just for example, I want to create unit "dpx", that will work as double pixel, so "width: 20dpx" will be processed to "width: 40px".
Other solution (not sass plugin), that can work with node is also acceptable.
Use a SASS function that accepts a font-size and returns the value doubled.
#function dpx($size) {
#return $size * 2;
}
div {
font-size: dpx(20px); // output: font-size: 40px;
}
As a simplified version of the current answer, you could also write the following:
$d: 2px;
div { font-size: 20*$d; }
I know this is an old question, but since I found it, other people will find it too.
In such case as yours a good solution would be to make a 1rem equal to 2px.
You can do it this way:
html {
font-size: 2px;
}
now each 1rem will be equal to 2px. If you want to make sure this doesn't break your current page, you can always add
body {
font-size: 8rem;
}
to set the global font-size to 16px (just a guess since this is a default value).
I am trying to have two different Font Sizes in the same Table th cell
My code is as below but does not appear to work i.e. the (Frm) stays at font 14
Please help
echo "<th width='70%' style='background-color:#FFD8D8;font-size:14px' colspan=\"14\"><left>".$startlocation."<style='font-size:8px'>"."(Frm)"."</left></th>";
There is no such element called <left>. What I would recommend you do, is add classes to your elements instead of using inline styling through style=.
th {
width: 70%;
background-color: #FFD8D8;
}
.left {
font-size: 8px;
}
.right {
font-size: 14px;
}
Then you can add a <span> tag around your text, which can look something like this as your final code:
echo "<th colspan=\"14\"><span class=\"left\">".$startlocation."</span><span class=\"right\">(Frm)"."</span></th>";
I'm not sure what your other text is inside the <th> element, but doing what I did will solve it. It's also best practise to use classes and IDs instead of inline styling, as it's easier to change in the future.
EDIT: If you absolutely need to to inline styling, this will work:
echo "<th colspan=\"14\"><span style=\"font-size:14px\">".$startlocation."</span><span style=\"font-size:8px\">(Frm)"."</span></th>";
Insert <span> like this:
...$startlocation."<span style='font-size:8px'>"."(Frm)"."</span></left></th>"
so that you can specify style of some element the way you tried.
I have a button class that sets up padding etc for an element, followed by a class that defines a background colour.
.button {
padding: 0.5em 1em;
text-transform: uppercase;
color: #fff;
&.green {
background:#green; //declared previously
}
// ... more colours
}
Is it possible to declare the #green variable as the class name? This would save me having to copy/paste the &.green block for each colour I am wanting to use.
I've not been able to find anything the docs regarding this sort of selector, but something along the lines of:
&.(green|blue|red) {
background: #{$1};
}
which would generate the following:
.button.green{background:#00ff00;}
.button.blue{background:#0000ff;}
.button.red{background:#ff0000;}
You could achieve this by having a variable with the required list of colors, a loop to create the required rules and selector interpolation like shown below.
#colors: "green","blue","orange","red","yellow"; // the list of colors required
button {
padding: 0.5em 1em;
text-transform: uppercase;
.loop-colors(#index) when (#index > 0){ // loop to generate rules for each color
.loop-colors(#index - 1); // call for the next iteration
#color: e(extract(#colors, #index)); // pick the color value from the list one by one based on current index
&.#{color} {
background:#color;
}
}
.loop-colors(length(#colors));
}

Note: As mentioned in comments, LESS PHP is quite outdated and hence some of the new features offered by LESS (with respect to loops) are not supported by it. It could be overcome by doing the work-around mentioned in this answer.
You could also adopt an approach similar to the one mentioned by seven-phases-max in this answer (2nd option). That one achieves a similar effect without using loops.
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! :)
