I'm a CSS noob and have not been able to find a solution to my problem.
I run a drupal 7 website.
I need to change a specific block's font size. Using the CSS injector module I've only been able to change the change the font of all blocks using:
.block {font-size: 80%}
Obviously that makes sense as it's got a global application.
The div id for the block is: block-views-new-deals-block-block
The div class for the block is: block block-views contextual-links-region
There's also another div class called: view view-new-deals-block view-id-new_deals_block view-display-id-block view-dom-id-6b4fc98a10e3af5ef7e512f56f8d8c4c
I've tried this with no luck:
.block-views-new-deals-block-block {font-size: 80%;}
I've been messing around with the developer option in Firefox but haven't had any success. I don't know what to try next.
It's difficult to say without the whole HTML, but if the block you want to change the font-size has an ID you can use it like:
#block-views-new-deals-block-block { font-size: 80% }

I'm using Ghost as blogging platform.
I put my code between ``` just like it's one on stackoverlfow.
This works well but the text size of my code is to big.
I know some css but I don't know how or where I can change this size somewhere?
Those code blocks are wrapped in an element (most-likely code or pre wrapped in <>) but you can check what element to apply the CSS to by right clicking on it in your browser and selecting 'inspect'. Inspect will let you look at the code and see what kind of html element it is wrapped in.
Ex:
This is inside code element
This is inside pre element
Once you know what element you need to alter you can target it with CSS and add it to your css style files.
pre{
font-size:18px;
color:red;
}
code{
font-size:16px;
color:blue;
}
<pre>Sample code using pre</pre>

I'm making a few changes to a site and want to change the width of the container to go across the whole page. I'm a bit of a noob so not sure if I've don't it correctly, but want the width to be 3000px. I have the option of container id and container class. So basically what CSS do I put in which box?
The theme I am using is Porto by Spyropress. But looking for some CSS help:)
Thank you very much!!
In the CSS style page (or code) where you have the container, you should write the following line:
width:3000px;
The most straightforward answer would be to use the style="width: 3000px;" definition instead of the id or the class (even if it is not a really clean choice).
If you have no chance to add a style and you have called a CSS, you can do it by id or by class, depends on how often you will have Elements with 3000px width (single time go for id, multiple times go for class). In general classes and id link the parts in your CSS with your html definitions (named-links). They do not serve you with direct CSS, this is done by the style="" Element.
Some Code:
#some_id {
width: 3000px;
}
.some_class {
width: 3000px;
}
And some additional info about general css (because it is much more than just id's and classes if I think about the cascading part): http://www.cssbasics.com/
I have created a UI (for wordpress plugin) in which I give user choice to add text, image, and video in a div ( lets call this div, container).
I have been working on it for a quite sometime. I recently added tinyMCE (WYSIWYG editor) to add text inside container.
Now, I realized that I did a big mistake. The text user writes is being overridden by css rules defined for wp admin panel.
for example,
User enters <h1>Hello</h1> (with the help of tinyMCE), and then I grab that content from tinyMCE and append that in the container.
But here the problem arises, wordpress's admin css can have css rule like this,
h1 {
color : #d6d6d6;
line-height: 40px;
font-size: 30px;
}
So, it looks different in tinyMCE and in my container. (as tinyMCE's code is inside iframe and that remains unaffected by wordpress's css rules, but my container doesnt)
I want something so that any element inside container remains unaffected by wordpress's admin css.
I know a good solution would be putting container inside iframe. But I have written a lot of code without thinking of an iframe and I would need 3-4 days just to adjust everything for iframe. There may be some cross browser issues.
I can reset some wordpress rules, but it will fail sometimes, as user may enter anything. I need something fullproof.
well if you want to undo a specific rule (say the h1 rule you mentioned) you can use css to override it by being more specific.
.container h1 {
color:#000000;
line-height: 24px;
font-size: 24px;
}
This will overwrite the css rule you mentioned with the given values but only when the element is inside the container class, (I'm guessing at the default values you want to use.)
Unfortunately you would have to add in an undo rule for everything that wordpress's admin css changes.
Another possible solution is to edit the page tinyMCE returns in it's frame to add in wordpress's CSS file. This means the end user will see the same formatting when they enter the information as when it gets posted.
Do you have code-level access to the iframe contents tinyMCE creates?
Use !important in your CSS document. This way your CSS will not be overridden as it takes precence over everything, including inline styles.
h1 {
color:#ff0 !important;
}
I have a page from which I call fancybox which contains some html template (something like an email template). The problem is that all CSS from the main page affects the content in the fancybox and vice versa. What I would like is to isolate them somehow, so that their CSSs don't affect each other.
Example: I have background image set for h3 for the main page. Also, in fancybox I have h3 element which has no CSS assigned to it, but it pulls the style from the main page and gets the same background image (which shouldn't happen).
Is this somehow possible?
You could split your CSS into multiple files, only pulling in what you need to for each html. If you aren't able to do that you can give the body a specific #id for your template that gets loaded into the fancybox.
<body id="fancy_content">
and then adapt your styles for that template
body#fancy_content h3 {
color: green;
}
You may still end up with a bit of style clash if you leave it in one file but this will give you a method to go on to get it working.
You have 3 options really.
Run the fancybox content in iframe mode which means the content will have to be on it's own page without the main stylesheet. You can do any styling you like here or none at all.
Reset styles in the fancybox content, though this may be quite tedious depending on the number of elements affected.
Place the fancybox content outside the main #wrapper div of your page, and make all page styles inherit from #wrapper. i.e. instead of h3 {...} use #wrapper h3 {...}
try adding IDs to your html elements then use CSS IDs
h3#idname { color: #FF0000; }
I have two css files:
A main file (main.css)
A specific page file (page5.css). My page.css contains main.css (#import url(main.css));)
My main.css has this as one part of it that sets the height of the page
#content {
background:url(../images/image.png) no-repeat;
width:154px;
height:356px;
clear:both;
}
This works fine for all the other pages, but at page 5, I need a little bit more height.
How would I go about doing it?
You don't even need a separate CSS file necessarily. You can add classes to your body for various purposes, identifying page or page type being one of them. So if you had:
<body class="page5">
Then in your CSS you could apply:
.page5 #content {
height: XXXpx;
}
And it would only apply to that page as long as it occurs after your main #content definition.
Just re-define it somewhere after your #import directive:
#content { height: 456px }
for identical CSS selectors, the latter rule overwrites the former.
In page5.css, simply re-define the height.
page5.css
#content {
height:400px;
}
The other answers did not help me on a more complex page.
Let's suppose you want something different on page X.
On your page X, create a class at the body tag (body class="myclass").
Open the Developer tools (I use chrome) and select the item to be modified. Let's say it's a link ( a.class - 'class' is your class name of your anchor, so change it accordingly). The browser will give something rather generic that works on the developer tool - but messes up in real life.
Check the parent of the modified field.
Add the HTML tag to your developer tool as testing
f your new CSS path does not grey out, you are good. If it greys out, your selected path still needs fixing.
Let's suppose that the parent is a div with a class 'parent'. Add this path "div.parent >" to the already chrome selected a.class
The symbol > means you are going up on the tree.
You can keep going backward on the DOM all the way to body.myclass, or you may not need. There is no need to add the classes for the parents, but you can add them if there are great similarities on your pages.
This works for me.
