Override twitter-bootstrap css - css

I'm using a button with bootstrap, something like:
I want to disable the style change when the button is hovered or click. I figured I could do this by overriding btn-default:focus or btn:focus but I also have other <a> tags styled as buttons that I would like to keep the effects of click or focus. Is there a way that I could just override the standard bootstrap css in just this case?

add an id to this particular
then add this css
#overrideBS:focus {
//whatever unique properties you want
}

Add your own class myclass, then set myclass:focus with whatever changes your need adding !important at the end of the overridden value.

Javafx CSS values in code

Simply put, I have a JavaFX Textfield that I wish to 1) change the text color on, and 2) change it back to that specified in CSS. Does anyone know how to (generally) access css colors etc. from within the JavaFX code?
AnyFxElement.setStyle(String elementCss);
For source of all the css capabilities I reccomend looking up caspian css.
To remove a style use the code:
// remove the background color on the button
yourElement.setStyle(null);
To set it back to it's default style:
// set the button style back to the default class
yourElement.setStyle(".yourStyle");

GWT - Changing CSS hover property

I'm a new user of GWT and I'm looking for some advice concerning "theme management".
I have to make a website that can handle theme changes. What I mean is that a user can make is own theme by filling a form, then the website will automatically and dynamically changes its color to display the new ones.
I thought using a CSS sheet for all the static properties and using some GWT lines (e.g. label.getElement.getStyle.setColor(...)) to change color. But I have many "hover" properties and I think creating many MouseOverHandler is not a good idea ...
Is there a way to edit CSS sheet dynamically or a magic trick to do that ?
Thanks.
You have many options - the most straight forward (to me) is to make use of the existing CSS classes that GWT introduces. If you look at javadocs for any of the widgets GWT provides, you'll notice the CSS Style Rules section. For example, Button:
.gwt-Button
the outer element
That means that every Button you add to the page has a .gwt-Button style applied to it. If you inject a CSS stylesheet with a rule that overrides this style:
.gwtButton {
background: red;
}
All your buttons will turn red. You can inject stylesheets using StyleInjector. Creating the stylesheet's content dynamically is up to you - but it's just text, it shouldn't be hard (but make sure the generated CSS rules are valid!).
To get you started, try hooking up this code to some button and see if clicking it triggers changing all the Buttons on the page red:
StyleInjector.inject(".gwt-Button { background: red; }");
If you have custom widgets that you want styled differently, just add an individual class to them (.customWidgetWhatever, like Button has .gwt-Button, etc.) that you will include in your custom stylesheet.
Make sure you understand how CSS works and what it can do for you. For example, if you want to style each button the same, you don't have to change each button's style individually, just use:
button {
background: green;
}
And all the <button>s will turn green.
The easiest way to change themes without reloading the whole application is to assign a theme class to the body element.
You'd want to prepend each CSS class in your app with a particular theme, e.g.:
.theme1 .myClass {
color: red;
}
.theme2 .myClass {
color: blue;
}
Then you'll apply a particular theme to the body element:
<body class="theme1">
When you want to change themes, you'll have to change the body class so it will become:
<body class="theme2">
this way, each element that has class myClass will have its color changed from red to blue.
You cannot edit a CSS file dynamically, but you can inject CSS style either as a new CSS file, or directly into your document.
For example, you can define all key CSS rules in your "main.css" file, and add your user-defined rules directly into the host HTML page with a style tag.

Angular - UI-Select (Select 2) Height

How do you set the height of the Angular UI-Select widget when an item is selected. I have a custom template for the selected item that includes an image and stuff and it gets cut-off.
Is there an option somewhere? I feel like it should expand to fit the template.
I just fixed this by using the css like
.ui-select-choices .item {
height: auto !important
}
and using the !important css function because ui-select has a lot of inline styles and it gets very tedious to fix. If you are using your own template, try not to use the .item class and use something unique like .select-choice-item Next time you might want to provide the structure in the template you're using so we can answer you with a more specific solution.

css shield for widget

I'm creating a bookmarklet. It will display a widget on page. However, some existing css on page can effect to my widget. How to avoid this? I don't want to use iframe.
Use a localised reset.
Take an existing CSS reset (or roll your own), and namespace it by putting your widget's id (or class) in front of it.
Example
HTML
<div id="my-bookmarklet-panel">...</div>
CSS
#my-bookmarklet-panel a,
#my-bookmarklet-panel div,
#my-bookmarklet-panel span {
/* Reset rules */
}
make use of the !important statement in our widget CSS to protect your rules from overriding.

jQuery UI button: How do I override the classes used for a single button?

I am using the jQuery UI library out of the box, based on a theme.
Having links rendered as buttons is great, however I need to override some buttons with different colours.
How do I specify an specific class for a particular button to use?
I recommend looking at the CSS for the jQuery UI buttons and duplicating the structure of the CSS which specifies the buttons, but with your own class instead of the jQuery UI classes. Make the overrides that you need in this CSS and include it after the jQuery UI CSS. CSS uses a combination of the most specific selector and ordering to determine which values to apply. By doing this you will make sure that you have the same specificity for each of the CSS selectors used by jQuery so that your CSS takes precedence based on order.
Smashing Magazine has an article that probably has more information than you care to know about the specificity issue.
You can also:
Use Developer Tools in the browser (Chrome has great ones).
See what class from jQuery UI defines the button color.
Override it in your CSS file with the "!important" attribute.
For example, when I needed to override jQuery UI spinner control and remove the borders, I found the class that defines the borders using Chrome Dev Tools. Then in CSS: I added something like that:
.<jquery-ui-class-that-i-found> { border: 0px !important; }
Works great!
I would say, give the particular button or buttons an id, and:
$("#buttonId").removeClass().addClass("myClass");
If you want to apply it to multiple buttons each with its own id:
$("#buttonId, #anotherButton").removeClass().addClass("myClass");
I think the button API should include a configuration like this where you can change color etc. by passing parameters
$("button").button({background:"FFFFFF",hover:"FFFFF"});
this is just an idea where you can change some of its visual attributes.
I found this worked for me:
$(".btnSave").removeClass("ui-state-default").addClass("SaveButtonStyling");
Basically needed to remove the ui-state-default class and then add my own for the background colour etc.
Thsi meant that the rounded corner class etc stayed put and I was able to amend the background colour etc.
If you simply wish to have some additional/different for particular buttons, simply give the buttons some classes like class="mybuttonclass otherbuttonclass" - multiple classes are allowed. Then, just add css rules for your class(es)
.mybuttonclass
{
background-color: red;
}
.otherbuttonclass
{
color:white;
}
thus the background is red with white text - or whatever combination you wish, which would override items in the cascade (CSS) above it. (assumption is that your .CSS file is linked in AFTER the jquery UI css file, or is in-line on the page, both of which would override the jQuery UI css.
