Sass bootstrap unable to set height of textarea - css

I have an admin page like this:
<div class="admin_page">
<div ng-repeat="user in users">
<div class="my-form-group">
<textarea class="my-form-control">{{user}}</textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This is my main.scss file:
.my-form-group {
#extend .form-group;
.my-form-control {
#extend .form-control
}
}
#import "./admin.scss";
This is my admin.scss:
.admin_page {
textarea {
height: 200px;
}
}
The height of text area is not set.
I tried <textarea class="my-form-control" style="height:200px">{{user}}</textarea> and it works.
Why is the sass version not working?
Edit:
this is my heading:
<!--underscore-->
<script src="/node_modules/underscore/underscore-min.js"></script>
<!--jquery-->
<script src="/node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!--bootstrap (keep the css although duplicate in bundle, since some may depend on it)-->
<script src="/node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!--font-awesome-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<!--summernote-->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/summernote/dist/summernote.css">
<!--<link rel="stylesheet" href="/node_modules/summernote/dist/summernote-bs3.css">-->
<script src="/node_modules/summernote/dist/summernote.min.js"></script>
<!--angular-->
<script src="/node_modules/angular/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/angular-resource/angular-resource.min.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/angular-route/angular-route.min.js"></script>
<script src="/node_modules/angular-sanitize/angular-sanitize.min.js"></script>
<!--angular-summernote-->
<script src="/node_modules/angular-summernote/dist/angular-summernote.min.js"></script>
<!--bundle-->
<script src="/public/script/bundle.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/public/style/bundle.css">
Note that I imported sass version of bootstrap in main.scss, which means inside bundle I have the bootstrap css.
The reason I include the original non-sass version bootstrap is for summernote, which depends on bootstrap.
Edit 2:
I tried the following:
.admin_page {
.my-textarea {
#extend .my-form-control;
height: 500px;
}
}
which has a specificity of 0,0,2,0 (2 classes), it doesnot work
Also this:
.admin_page {
textarea.my-form-control {
height: 200px
}
}
which has a specificity of 0,0,2,1 (2 classes + 1 element), it works. Why is the previous one not working?

It is not problem of sass. It is clearly the problem of specificity.
You just need to mention high specificity css. Since you have a class to the textarea, you can do like this:
textarea.my-form-control{
height: 200px;
}
Read this to understand how specificity works in css.

Overriding Bootstrap with using my external stylesheet

I am trying to learn Bootstrap and wanted to make an exercise by building this site on my own:
https://konect.co.za/
I am seriously having trouble with overriding to Bootstrap and also adding my custom font. To add my custom Google font, I've tried this, but did not work;
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-MCw98/SFnGE8fJT3GXwEOngsV7Zt27NXFoaoApmYm81iuXoPkFOJwJ8ERdknLPMO" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="main.css" />
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto" rel="stylesheet">
and in css
html{
font-family:"Roboto", "Arial";
font-size:20px;
font-weight:300;}
Here's the img that I cannot style;
<section class="container">
<img class="rounded-circle profile-pic" src="/resources/img/profile_pic.jpg" alt="">
</section>
And the styling;
section img .profile-pic{
margin-left:150px;
}
Try to add in Body
body {
font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif !important;
}
The html styles will apply to all document but it has very low precedence. it will work only until and unless their is not specified styles inside body. but in your case bootstrap added their own styles in body tag.
body {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
line-height: 1.42857143;
color: #333;
background-color: #fff;
}
Thats why your style was not working
You need to put "!important" with your custom CSS style to override any bootstrap styles. Also, CSS will always use the most specific style to style an element so if you put your styles in html{} it will be overridden by p{} h1{} etc. Remember that style sheets are cascading so any styles at the top will be overwritten by styling the same element below.
You need to put "!important" with your custom css style to override bootstrap css.
One more thing if you are using external custom css file than import after bootstrap css file.
See, below example for more.
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-MCw98/SFnGE8fJT3GXwEOngsV7Zt27NXFoaoApmYm81iuXoPkFOJwJ8ERdknLPMO" crossorigin="anonymous">

font-family:"Roboto", "Arial" !important;
font-size:20px !important;

}

Inherit Boostrap Button CSS and override colour explaination

I'm hoping someone can explain how I can make a button inherit all of a button's properties from bootstrap but override its colour and explain how it works in layman's terms.
I have a button with the following class:
class="btn action-braintree-paypal-logo"
Obviously, btn has its properties taken from bootstrap (as I am using it) and then I've defined my own action-braintree-paypal-logo.
I then have this in my own stylesheet:
.action-braintree-paypal-logo {
background-color:#019cde;
}
But the colour keeps defaulting back to bootstraps own colour and I'm failing to understand why.
The stylesheet I'm using is after bootstraps in my head as well.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please make sure that the link tag for the style sheet you are referring to has rel="stylesheet" attribute, otherwise the styles are not imported.
Example:
The below CSS will work:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
But this one doesn't:
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">
.action-braintree-paypal-logo {
background-color:#019cde;
}
</style>
<button class = "btn action-braintree-paypal-logo">Test Button</button>
You can use inline css for this..
class="btn" style="background-color: #019cde; in your button tag
Simple solution CSS specificity:
.btn.action-braintree-paypal-logo {
background-color:#019cde;
}
Try this one,
.btn.action-braintree-paypal-logo { background: red; color: #fff; }

Why isn't this basic Sass nesting example working?

I'm starting to learn Sass and started to check some nesting examples. This is the first one I tried and it's not working:
body {background:#eee;}
.blog .entry {
p{
color:#ff0;
}
}
This is my markup:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.scss">
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/modernizr/2.8.3/modernizr.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body class="blog">
<div class="entry">
<h1>My blog post</h1>
<p class="blue">Text <a>link</a></p>
</div><!-- .entry -->
</body>
</html>
The background of the body does change to #eee, but the paragraph stays the same (unless I un-nest it to just p{} ).
First you cannot link an SCSS file just like CSS, you have to compile it to CSS then link the compiled file.
In order to nest properly in SCSS you can do the following:
.blog {
.entry {
p{
color:#ff0;
}
}
}
Your markup and Sass work as you can see here: https://jsfiddle.net/6pa0r48g/
Please check the compiled CSS directly if you are overloading your css rule by another one (i. e. by formatting .blue).
Also this would be more readable:
body {
background: #eee;
}
.blog {
.entry {
p {
color: #ff0;
}
}
}
I would recommend to not go any deeper with your nesting in Sass.

Boostrap bug? trying to reach 15 characters

This code works without bootstrap, but with bootstrap it displays the file input tag.
Help
<!-- Latest compiled and minified CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<!-- Latest compiled and minified JavaScript -->
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<style>
.nodisplay
{
display:none;
}
</style>
<input type="file" class="nodisplay">
<div class="nodisplay">lol</div>
You'll need to use the !important modifier to make your code overwrite the bootstrap code. This should work:
.nodisplay
{
display:none !important;
}
This should also work as the input type file is given
.nodisplay, input[type='file']
{
display:none;
}
in the bootstrap.css
input[type='file'] {
display:block;
}

Phonegap - Kendo mobile ui overriding my css

Practially, i have a css file with some classes ,id's and html selectors (index.css) and the kendo.mobile.all.min.css.
I've tried putting it before and after to no avail.
My classes won't work , for example:
<div data-role="view" data-title="main-menu" id="main-menu" data-persist="true" class="body" data-transition="overlay:up" >
<h1>Text text</h1>
<h2>Another</h2>
<div>
This code, when used only with my css and the kendo.common.min.css and kendo.default.min.css files, shows the proper styling with background, when used , in any combination with kendo.mobile.all.min.css all i see is the plain html.
I'm a begginer (still in university) , is there something implicit about this that escapes me? I also tried jquery mobile but quit that because it overrided all my css and got blank html.
Also anyone know how can i change the default android skin from android-dark to android-light without forcing the app to run on one platform? (as in still adapt to different platforms)?
My include order:
<script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
<script src="js/load.unload.js"></script>
<script src="js/hangman.js"></script>
<link href="css/kendo.mobile.all.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<!-- audio css-->
<link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="js/kendo.ui.core.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/kendo.mobile.listview.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" />
<!-- audio js sources-->
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/main.js"></script>
you can try adding the !important property to your css to see if that works.
like this:
.button {
background: red !important;
color: white !important;
padding: 3px !important;
border-radius: 5px !important;
border: 1px solid black !important;
}
