I am using my own style sheet in a .jsp with the following rule (which is not working as I intended):
label {
display: block;
}
The same CSS will be used by many jsps. My Application is configured with struts.ui.theme=simple.
The following s:radio displays radio buttons and their labels vertically:
<s:radio name="allowPartial" list="#{'true':'Yes','false':'No'}"/>
*
Yes
*
No
When I remove the following CSS rule:
label {
display: block;
}
It displays as I intend it (inline):
* Yes * No
How do I fix this at the tag level without changing the CSS file since it is being used by other jsps?
Using cssClass
Add an class to the s:radio, like cssClass="example", then create a new CSS entry:
.example label {
display: inline-block;
}
This will have greater specificity, and override the label selector. You said your description that you do not want to modify the stylesheet, so I give you another option.
Using cssStyle
The uglier (and simpler) way, is using the cssStyle="display: inline-block;" in the s:radio tag directly.
PS: If this does not work, please add a comment, and show the generated HTML, as it would help in diagnosing the problem.

What are all the css style classes that has to be changed to restyle dojo filtering select ?
Note: I am using claro theme.
I want to
1.Set the style for one particular filteringselect with id QuickSearchPane_SelectBox
2.Set the style for all other filteringselect
I found a few like:
.claro .dijitTextBox .dijitInputInner
.claro .dijitInputField .dijitPlaceHolder
.claro .dijitSelect
But these are not giving the desired effect. I am not even able to change the background colors.
For Menu
[dijitpopupparent="QuickSearchPane_SelectBox"] > .dijitComboBoxMenu .dijitMenuItem
This seems to work.
You can use the following CSS class to start styling your dijit/form/FilteringSelect;
This example will style all instance of dijit/form/FilteringSelect:
https://jsfiddle.net/ofgcd24n/
.dijitInputInner {
background-color: green !important;
}
.dijitMenuItem {
background-color: orange;
}
This other example below will style only ONE instance of dijit/form/FilteringSelect, please note the use of Descendant combinator as selector (where you use the ID for your widget DOM):
#widget_stateSelect .dijitInputInner {
/* your style*/
}
Generally you can use (in Chrome Dev Tool) Event Listen Breakpoints for click/mouse down, so when you open you FilteringSelect, you can block execution, and check with the inspector its HTML structure and see additional CSS classes you want to override with your styles.

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.
I am using Active Admin, is there a way to override CSS used by the active admin theme?
For eg:- I have to change css of submit button which is disabled to cursor: wait; and make it unclickable.
What's the best way to do this?
just make a new file
app/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.css.scss
and put your scss code there.
(Or just active_admin.css with css code)
You can override any CSS property by overriding the CSS class or IDs in you own stylesheet with !important attribute if you do not have any access to the original stylesheet
For example, use
.submit-button {
color: white !important;
}
to change the color of the submit button text.
It is easy to change the styles in Rails 4. Go to
app/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.css.scss
OR (depending upon where you have kept the file)
vendor/assets/stylesheets/active_admin.css.scss
and add styles in there.
I put my form classes in a container class to create a more specific reference. Like..
.form-container {
font-family: 'open-sans';
width: 420px;
.text-field-class {
input{border:none; border-bottom: 1px;}
}
}
this is working so far... for the most part. Better than important. Though maybe using an ID would be the more appropriate way.
I´m using Twitter Bootstrap as a framework for my project.
I also have a div#widget with name and email form fields and a submit button
i want to reset to defaults all the css only for that div and use my custom classes.
i tried with:
div#widget * {
background-color: #FFF;
font-size: 12px;
...
}
the problem with that code is that i need to specify every css property
I´m looking for a magical solution like
div#widget * {
// reset to factory defaults here
}
You can work it the other way round.
With :not() selector.
div:not(#widget) element {
/*Rules here will apply to each element wich are not inside div#widget */
}
I'm afraid The only way to do it is to study an element defaults and to painfully reset the needed styles.
I'm new to Dojo and CSS, so maybe I'm missing something obvious here.
I have a page with several Dijit buttons that are created programmatically, and I want to make one of them bigger- leave the text alone and increase the space between the text and the edge of the button. I don't want to override the CSS for .dijiButtonNode to do so because there are other Dijit buttons the page that shouldn't be altered.
I tried adding this to the widget declaration:
style: { padding: "1em" }
and this:
class: "PaddedButton"
.PaddedButton
{
padding: 1em;
}
but since Dijit buttons are rendered as nested spans it padded the area around the button instead.
The best way to work with CSS is using one of the browser debugging tools (that you should already be using) like Firebug or the Chrome developer tools. You can find an element's DOM node easily with inspect_element and then directly edit its CSS styles until they do what you want. You can also see what CSS rules are active and what are being ignored or overwritten.
I have come up with a working example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/missingno/FrYdx/2/
The important part is the following CSS selector:
.paddedButton.dijitButton .dijitButtonNode {
padding: 1em;
}
This selects any node with class dijitButtonNode that descends from a node that has both of the paddedButton and dijitButton classes. I couldn't do just a .paddedButton .dijitButtonNode because then the rule would end up being cascaded by a more specific selector.
