Why is the nav CSS behaving differently on different pages? - css

Why is the navigation bar behaving differently on different pages? They have the same css rules.
http://www.columbia.edu/~mmp2181/Megha/wwm.html (navigation bar is glued to the top) http://www.columbia.edu/~mmp2181/Megha/ (gap between top of page and the header)
Note: I'm specifically asking about its behavior on Google Chrome
> header nav, contactheader nav, wwmheader nav {width: 100%; height: auto; float: left; margin: >0; padding:15px 0 20px; background: #FDFDFD; border-top: 1px solid #f6f6f6; position: fixed; z->index: 7;
box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.3);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.3);
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 rgba(0,0,0,.3);
}

That's an easy one ;-) There's a img hiding in the top of your <body> tag.
<img src="/images/photos/meghahorizontal2cropb.jpeg" height="0" width="0">
Just remove the little fella and everything is gonna be alright.

CSS: custom shaped div with double borders

I've got a challenge for you all. I'm trying to make the following shape without using any
What's difficult about it (impossible?) for me is the double border. Sure, I could put some other shapes over the cutouts but then the border lines would be disrupted. Anyone got any ideas?
I believe that SVG is the way you should go. However, just to see if it was possible, I decided to make this shape using pure HTML and CSS.
Here's the fiddle.
HTML
<div id="wrap">
<div id="mainshape"></div>
<div id="upperleftcut"></div>
<div id="diamondcut"></div>
</div>
We will be using 3 shapes here, and they'll be positioned inside a wrapper that will act as the overall shape. The two cutaways are their own divs.
CSS
#wrap {
width: 206px;
height: 150px;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
#upperleftcut, #mainshape, #diamondcut {
position: absolute;
background-color: white;
border-style: double;
}
#upperleftcut {
border-style: none double double none;
width: 100px;
height: 20px;
}
#diamondcut {
-moz-transform:rotate(45deg);
-webkit-transform:rotate(45deg);
-o-transform:rotate(45deg);
-ms-transform:rotate(45deg);
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
left: 197px;
top: 50px;
border-style: double;
}
#mainshape {
border-style: double;
background-color: white;
width: 200px;
height: 144px;
}
The CSS property you are looking for is border-style: double;. The divs have each been absolutely positioned within the wrapper, and the diamond one has been rotated to form the desired triangle cut.
Conclusion
This would be far easier to do with an SVG, and far more flexible as well. The borders here between the different shapes also don't line up nicely. Don't do this with CSS, but know that you can.
As far as I can tell, you can't get rid of those border overlaps.
I answered to something simular using box-shadow to draw borders and cut off background a couple of days ago.
Here , i come with something close to your drawing http://codepen.io/gc-nomade/pen/lqzcm

Double border with different color [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Two color borders
(12 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
With Photoshop, I can put two different border to an element with two different color. And with that, I can make many dynamic shade-effect with my elements. Even with Photoshop effects, I can manage that with Drop Shadow and Inner Shadow.
On the Web Design concern, if I have design like the image below, how can I achieve that with CSS? Is it really possible?
NOTE: I'm giving two borders to the white element: the outer border is white, and the inner border is greyish. Together, they create a dynamic look so that it feels like an inset element, and the white element is pillow embossed. So thing is a bit:
div.white{
border: 2px solid white;
border: 1px solid grey;
}
But you know it's a double declaration, and is invalid. So how can I manage such thing in CSS?
And if I put border-style: double then you know I can't pass two different color for the singe double border.
div.white{
border: double white grey;
}
Additionally, I'm familiar with LESS CSS Preprocessor. So if such a thing is possible using CSS Preprocessor, please let me know.
Alternatively, you can use pseudo-elements to do so :) the advantage of the pseudo-element solution is that you can use it to space the inner border at an arbitrary distance away from the actual border, and the background will show through that space. The markup:
body {
background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #ccc 50%, #fff 50%);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 100vh;
}
.double-border {
background-color: #ccc;
border: 4px solid #fff;
padding: 2em;
width: 16em;
height: 16em;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.double-border:before {
background: none;
border: 4px solid #fff;
content: "";
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 4px;
left: 4px;
right: 4px;
bottom: 4px;
pointer-events: none;
}
<div class="double-border">
<!-- Content -->
</div>
If you want borders that are consecutive to each other (no space between them), you can use multiple box-shadow declarations (separated by commas) to do so:
body {
background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #ccc 50%, #fff 50%);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
height: 100vh;
}
.double-border {
background-color: #ccc;
border: 4px solid #fff;
box-shadow:
inset 0 0 0 4px #eee,
inset 0 0 0 8px #ddd,
inset 0 0 0 12px #ccc,
inset 0 0 0 16px #bbb,
inset 0 0 0 20px #aaa,
inset 0 0 0 20px #999,
inset 0 0 0 20px #888;
/* And so on and so forth, if you want border-ception */
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 3em;
width: 16em;
height: 16em;
position: relative;
}
<div class="double-border">
<!-- Content -->
</div>
I use outline a css 2 property that simply works. Check this out, is simple and even easy to animate:
.double-border {
display: block;
clear: both;
background: red;
border: 5px solid yellow;
outline: 5px solid blue;
transition: 0.7s all ease-in;
height: 50px;
width: 50px;
}
.double-border:hover {
background: yellow;
outline-color: red;
border-color: blue;
}
<div class="double-border"></div>
you can add infinite borders using box-shadow using css3
suppose you want to apply multiple borders on one div then code is like:
div {
border-radius: 4px;
/* #1 */
border: 5px solid hsl(0, 0%, 40%);
/* #2 */
padding: 5px;
background: hsl(0, 0%, 20%);
/* #3 */
outline: 5px solid hsl(0, 0%, 60%);
/* #4 AND INFINITY!!! (CSS3 only) */
box-shadow:
0 0 0 10px red,
0 0 0 15px orange,
0 0 0 20px yellow,
0 0 0 25px green,
0 0 0 30px blue;
}
Use of pseudo-element as suggested by Terry has one PRO and one CON:
PRO - great cross-browser compatibility because pseudo-element are supported also on older IE.
CON - it requires to create an extra (even if generated) element, that infact is defined pseudo-element.
Anyway is a great solution.
OTHER SOLUTIONS:
If you can accept compatibility since IE9 (IE8 does not have support for this), you can achieve desired result in other two possible ways:
using outline property combined with border and a single inset box-shadow
using two box-shadow combined with border.
Here a jsFiddle with Terry's modified code that shows, side by side, these other possible solutions. Main specific properties for each one are the following (others are shared in .double-border class):
.left
{
outline: 4px solid #fff;
box-shadow:inset 0 0 0 4px #fff;
}
.right
{
box-shadow:0 0 0 4px #fff, inset 0 0 0 4px #fff;
}
LESS code:
You asked for possible advantages about using a pre-processor like LESS. I this specific case, utility is not so great, but anyway you could optimize something, declaring colors and border/ouline/shadow with #variable.
Here an example of my CSS code, declared in LESS (changing colors and border-width becomes very quick):
#double-border-size:4px;
#inset-border-color:#fff;
#content-color:#ccc;
.double-border
{
background-color: #content-color;
border: #double-border-size solid #content-color;
padding: 2em;
width: 16em;
height: 16em;
float:left;
margin-right:20px;
text-align:center;
}
.left
{
outline: #double-border-size solid #inset-border-color;
box-shadow:inset 0 0 0 #double-border-size #inset-border-color;
}
.right
{
box-shadow:0 0 0 #double-border-size #inset-border-color, inset 0 0 0 #double-border-size #inset-border-color;
}
You can use outline with outline offset
<div class="double-border"></div>
.double-border{
background-color:#ccc;
outline: 1px solid #f00;
outline-offset: 3px;
}
Maybe use outline property
<div class="borders">
Hello
</div>
.borders{
border: 1px solid grey;
outline: 2px solid white;
}
https://jsfiddle.net/Ivan5646/5eunf13f/
Try below structure for applying two color border,
<div class="white">
<div class="grey">
</div>
</div>
.white
{
border: 2px solid white;
}
.grey
{
border: 1px solid grey;
}
You can use the border and box-shadow properties along with CSS pseudo elements to achieve a triple-border sort of effect. See the example below for an idea of how to create three borders at the bottom of a div:
.triple-border:after {
content: " ";
display: block;
width: 100%;
background: #FFE962;
height: 9px;
padding-bottom: 8px;
border-bottom: 9px solid #A3C662;
box-shadow: -2px 11px 0 -1px #34b6af;
}
<div class="triple-border">Triple border bottom with multiple colours</div>
You'll have to play around with the values to get the alignment correct. However, you can also achieve more flexibility, e.g. 4 borders if you put some of the attributes in the proper element rather than the pseudo selector.

CSS fix for firefox: Box shadow property

This is my CSS code:
.thzPartsHeader, .thzPartsContainer {
border:1px solid #0080ff;
-webkit-border-radius: 8px;
-moz-border-radius: 8px;
border-radius: 8px;
-webkit-box-shadow:0 0 6px #0080ff, 0 0 20px #292929 inset;
-moz-box-shadow:0 0 6px #0080ff, 0 0 20px #292929 inset;
box-shadow:0 0 6px #0080ff, 0 0 20px #292929 inset;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 20px;
margin:auto;
font-family:georgia;
font-size: 12px;
color:#ffffff;
background-color:#000000;
}
This is HTML code:
<fieldset class="thzPartsContainer">
<legend class="thzPartsHeader"><b>Code Will Appear Below</b></legend>
<textarea class="textArea" id="txtarea" name="codearea"></textarea>
</fieldset>
This is how it appears in Google Chrome (This is exactly what I want):
But this is how it appears in Firefox (no reputation to post images :o ):
(source: googledrive.com)
It appears as if the shadows are displaced and margin:auto property is not working in firefox. What is the fix for both of them? please help.
http://jsfiddle.net/f2ndc/
The shadow part of your question is a duplicate of
Box shadow CSS with a <fieldset>. Firefox vs Chrome
Not the best solution as you will have to have a fixed height and width for the <legend> but adding this could work
.thzPartsHeader{
position: absolute;
top: -9px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -75px;
}
.thzPartsContainer{
padding-top: 9px;
position: relative;
}

Custom search bar and responsive grid

I've found cool article http://www.tripwiremagazine.com/2012/01/how-to-create-a-seach-bar-in-photoshop.html recently. Don't know how to handle background images inside responsive grid. How do I make such a search bar using Zurb Foundation grid? Is it possible?
Thanks!
The search bar in the design could be styled completely with CSS and then you wouldn't have to use background images at all. Here are a few main points of code that would make this work:
HTML:
<div class="input-container">
<input type="text" />
<button>Search</button>
</div>
The text input:
input[type="text"] {
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.3);
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: #fff;
}
the button:
button {
margin-left: -10%;
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #117a03 0%,#287c15 100%);
border-radius: 0 5px 5px 0;
height: 32px;
padding: 0 5px;
border: 1px solid #bbb;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.3), 0 1px #fff;
color: #074F03;
text-shadow: 0px 1px #ccc;
font-weight: bold;
}
You need to add the vendor prefixes for CSS3 properties, but this is a pretty basic starting point and should give you everything you need. Here's a fiddle with it working: http://jsfiddle.net/J6Dvz/

Two color borders

Client wants two color borders for an embossed look. Can I do this on one element? I was hoping to avoid stacking two DOM elements with individual borders.
Yep: Use the outline property; it acts as a second border outside of your border. Beware, tho', it can interact in a wonky fashion with margins, paddings and drop-shadows. In some browsers you might have to use a browser-specific prefix as well; in order to make sure it picks up on it: -webkit-outline and the like (although WebKit in particular doesn't require this).
This can also be useful in the case where you want to jettison the outline for certain browsers (such as is the case if you want to combine the outline with a drop shadow; in WebKit the outline is inside of the shadow; in FireFox it is outside, so -moz-outline: 0 is useful to ensure that you don't get a gnarly line around your beautiful CSS drop shadow).
.someclass {
border: 1px solid blue;
outline: 1px solid darkblue;
}
Edit: Some people have remarked that outline doesn't jive well with IE < 8. While this is true; supporting IE < 8 really isn't something you should be doing.
This is very possible. It just takes a little CSS trickery!
div.border {
border: 1px solid #000;
position: relative;
}
div.border:before {
position: absolute;
display: block;
content: '';
border: 1px solid red;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
}
<div class="border">Hi I have two border colors<br />I am also Fluid</div>
Is that what you are looking for?
Another way is to use box-shadow:
#mybox {
box-shadow:
0 0 0 1px #CCC,
0 0 0 2px #888,
0 0 0 3px #444,
0 0 0 4px #000;
-moz-box-shadow:
0 0 0 1px #CCC,
0 0 0 2px #888,
0 0 0 3px #444,
0 0 0 4px #000;
-webkit-shadow:
0 0 0 1px #CCC,
0 0 0 2px #888,
0 0 0 3px #444,
0 0 0 4px #000;
}
<div id="mybox">ABC</div>
See example here.
Have you tried the different border styles available within the CSS spec? There's already two border styles that might accommodate your need:
border-style: ridge;
Or
border-style: groove;
Outline is good, but only when you want the border all around.
Lets say if you want to make it only on bottom or top you can use
<style>
#border-top {
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 #fff;
}
</style>
<p id="border-top">This is my content</p>
And for bottom:
<style>
#border-bottom {
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #fff;
}
</style>
<p id="border-bottom">This is my content</p>
Hope that this helps.
Instead of using unsupported and problematic outline just use
background-color + padding for the inner border
normal border for the outer one.
Example:
HTML:
<img src="http://cdn3.thumbs.common.smcloud.net/common/8/6/s/863444wpPN.jpg/r-0,500-n-863444wpPN.jpg" alt="malkovich" />
CSS:
img {
padding: 1px;
background: yellow;
border:1px solid black;
}
TEST(JSFiddle):
img {
padding: 1px;
background: yellow;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<img src="http://cdn3.thumbs.common.smcloud.net/common/8/6/s/863444wpPN.jpg/r-0,500-n-863444wpPN.jpg" alt="malkovich" />
If by "embossing" you mean two borders around each other with two different colours, there is the outline property (outline-left, outline-right....) but it is poorly supported in the IE family (namely, IE6 and 7 don't support it at all). If you need two borders, a second wrapper element would indeed be best.
If you mean using two colours in the same border. Use e.g.
border-right: 1px white solid;
border-left: 1px black solid;
border-top: 1px black solid;
border-bottom: 1px white solid;
there are special border-styles for this as well (ridge, outset and inset) but they tend to vary across browsers in my experience.
Adding the following CSS properties to a border will achieve a double border of two distinct colors and identical widths for those who are interested.
Example:
Selector {
border: 10px red;
border-block-start-style: ridge;
border-inline-start-style: ridge;
border-inline-end-style: groove;
border-block-end-style: groove;
}
Not possible, but you should check to see if border-style values like inset, outset or some other, accomplished the effect you want.. (i doubt it though..)
CSS3 has the border-image properties, but i do not know about support from browsers yet (more info at http://www.css3.info/preview/border-image/)..
Simply write
style="border:medium double;"
for the html tag
You could use
<html>
<head>
<title>Two Colors</title>
<style type="text/css">
.two-colors {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(245, 245, 245); border-color: rgba(111,111,111,0.2) transparent;
padding: 4px; outline: 1px solid green;
}
</style>
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
background-color:yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a target="_blank" href="people.htm">
<img class="two-colors" src="people.jpg" alt="Klematis" width="213" height="120" />
</a>
</body>
</html>
This produces a nice effect.
<div style="border: 1px solid gray; padding: 1px">
<div style="border: 1px solid gray">
internal stuff
</div>
</div>
