So I've done a lot of research before asking this question. I already know how to use the if/else and conditional tags to make certain code applicable to only certain pages, BUT, I noticed that there isn't a single guide or question-answer out there addressing my question on only styling the first/most recent post in my blogger.
The closest I got to finding the solution (other than codes that I didn't have the skill to implement), was this one: http://helplogger.blogspot.ro/2014/01/create-magazine-style-layout-for-blogger-posts.html
Sample site from that tutorial: http://helploggertestblog.blogspot.com/
The problem with the above script is that was made to be too automated, and I don't need a post-summary or thumbnail for my other posts-- I'm only trying to change the look for the first post. I love that the first post's width was increased, bordered, color-changed, and what not.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might isolate what I'm looking for, point me towards the right direction, or even hand me a general container so that I can get on with my life?
Without seeing any of your code it's kinda guessing, but I'll give it a try anyway.
I'm guessing that you have the posts in a div or other parent element. Something like this:
<div class="container">
<div>
<h3>Title</h3>
<p>Content of the post ... </p>
</div>
<div>
<h3>Title</h3>
<p>Content of the post ... </p>
</div>
<div>
<h3>Title</h3>
<p>Content of the post ... </p>
</div>
</div>
To style only the first div inside the container, you can use:
.container > div:nth-first-child {
/* your specific style here */
}
With your code, it would be easier to help...
EDIT
Use:
.blog-posts > .post-outer:first-child {
background: green;
}
There is a conditional tag available for 1st post
<b:if cond='data:post.isFirstPost'>
Your custom css only for the 1st post here
</b:if>

Till now, we are generating correctly PDFs with mPDF, combining PHP + CSS #page, that includes "page-break-before" and "page-break-after" . We write each block using "writeHTML" class. However, after some changes, we noticed that mPDF generates and display the message pagebreakavoidchecked="true"; and the top of the page after page break after summary, just when we began to put headers and footers.
We have no idea why is that message appearing just and only at that page.
Please, any idea? Do you need any other info?
Thank you
Update: I discovered mPDF have some problem with "page-break-inside: avoid;". I'm using it this way:
HTML:
<article class="bloque_anuncio">
<header class="cabecera_anuncio">
<p class="nivel1">Level 1</p>
<p class="nivel2">Level 2</p>
<p class="nivel3">Level 3</p>
<p class="nivel4">Level 4</p>
</header>
<div class="contenido_anuncio">
a lot of text (at least a complete page, but usually several pages)
</div>
</article>
There are several articles, but I want to maintain header aside with the content, so I use in my stylesheet:
.cabecera_anuncio {page-break-inside: avoid; }
And it works as it should, however, mPDF inserts the mentioned message at the beginning of the first page (and only there):
If I remove the style, the message dissapear, but I need to avoid page breaks in that point!!
I noticed that the problem is only relative to the <p> tag. Try to substitute with a <div> tag
I can see lots of answers for this but not quite the right solutions..
Essentially i'm displaying numerous emails in a thread (looks like iMessage a bit) on a page. The messages are looped within a repeated element, with the HTML email displayed inside it.
I have no control over the HTML in the email content as it could be from anywhere.. the problem is that the HTML in the email is inheriting CSS styling from the page style sheets.. this is making it all look weird..
I can't overrule the CSS with a more specific CSS, as there could be any classes or id's coming in the email that match those in the main style sheet..
I've tried adding all:initial to the wrapper div like this:
div.sentMsgBody *{
all: initial !important;
}
This however seems to override any styles that comes with the email and so looks really naff..
Anyone got any ideas how to display the email content with its own HTML without taking on the main styles?
Thanks!!
Addition:
I've been asked to show my code, though that's quite tricky...
there's loops of a certain div in the page like this:
<div id="page">
<div class="sentMsgBody"></div>
<div class="sentMsgBody"></div>
<div class="sentMsgBody"></div>
</div>
Of course each loop of this div could have any HTML at all as its showing emails...
eg:
<div id="page">
<div class="sentMsgBody">
<div class="Header">My Email</div>
<div class="Main">This is my email body</div>
<div class="Footer">Email Footer</div>
</div>
<div class="sentMsgBody"> ... ... </div>
<div class="sentMsgBody"> ... ... </div>
</div>
Here the Header and Footer etc may take css from the main page...
I thought about iFrames but they are messy, i don't know how big the content will be for each one, are a bugger with being responsive too, and there could be dozens that have to be created dynamically from the content of each div that is loaded by ajax from a handler.
My question is probably based on a bad design. However, I can't change that and need to work with it. This is the visual draft I'm talking about, it's just a part of a full website:
As you can see there's a title of an article with a background image, then a breadcrumb toolbar and finally, the articles content. Now, usually, if there wouldn't be the breadcrumb toolbar you could simply wrap it into an <article>. But the breadcrumb divides the article in a "pre" article and a main article part. The only "clean" HTML5 way would be to wrap the article including the header with background image into an <article> and position the breadcrumb into the target visual position. However, I'm classifying this as "hack" and I'm searching a better way.
What would be the preferred markup for this scenario?
There won't be any perfect the solution for the current requirement.
As pointed out by comments to the previous answer, the nav is not related to the article.
Also, WCAG instructs that :
1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence: When the sequence in which content is presented affects its meaning, a correct reading sequence can be programmatically determined. (Level A)
EDIT : If changing the order of the element can preserve a meaningful sequence (G57), when the elements does not match visually the DOM order (see C27) the visual focus indicator of the screen reader will not match the standard reading order which will result in bad UX for people with low vision using a screenreader.
So it's impossible to try a CSS visual hack to invert the order between the elements visually without breaking another rule.
You may think of a third technique :
set aria-hidden on the visible title,
use aria-labelledby on the article tag to point to the h1 outside the article element :
For instance:
<header>
<h1 aria-hidden="true" id="title">Your title</h1>
<nav><!-- nav here --></nav>
</header>
<article aria-labelledby="title">
// article here
</article>
Another way to do is to duplicate the title element, one visible, one for assistive technology
<header>
<div aria-hidden="true">Your title</div>
<nav><!-- nav here --></nav>
</header>
<article>
<h1 class="sr-only">Your title</h1>
// article here
</article>
It could be something like this -
<article>
<header>
//APPLY BACKGROUND IMAGE
<h1>YOUR TITLE</h1>
</header>
<nav>
//USE BREADCRUMBS HERE
</nav>
<section>
//USE THIS FOR CONTENT
</section>
</article>
I have a page with two html files. I have exactly the same code for the footer in them. They use exactly the same CSS file but they look different and I still cannot find out why :
The code is here for the footer :
<div class="container_12">
<div class="grid_12"><footer>
<div class="socials">
facebook |
twitter |
google+
</div>
<div class="copy">COSMOSET © 2013 | Privacy Policy <!--{%FOOTER_LINK} -->
</div></footer>
</div>
</div>
Also if you visit the page here: HERE you can see the text-box-areas do not have the same transparent white background. I assume this one is a server issue (plesk). Because when i open the file on my PC (saved on my PC) it looks perfect.
If you go to the second link from the left (of your navigator) you can see that you have the following DOM structure:
The problem is that, on the page your provided in your post, the footer is a sibling of the <header>, <div class="clear"> and <div class="bg1"> elements, as you can see it in the following screenshot:
Your problem will get solved if you move the "container_12" to be a sibling of the elements I mentioned above.
LATER EDIT:
To answer your second question, for the #form textarea CSS selector you've added an extra . after the png extenstion:
Hi there I am not sure how to go about a particular problem so here it is.
Without using a Table I would like to display a paragraph with multiply lines of text then have an image on the right.
So far I have tried this:
<div id="container">
<p>
Some Text
Some Text
Some Text
Some Text
</p>
<p>
<img src="image.jpg"/>
</p>
</div>
I use a separate stylesheet
and have tried such things as display inline with no luck.
I will be grateful for any suggestions although I do not want to use a table as I am not a fan of using tables for layout.
Thank you.
You need another set of containers indie your container:
<div style="float:left;width:50%">
<p>...<p/>
</div>
<div style="float:left;width:50%">
<p>...<p/>
</div>
If you may consider using flexbox (which is fairly well supported now : https://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox )
You just need to make your container a display : flex; (example : https://codepen.io/anon/pen/GvZYwj)
#container {
display: flex;
}
For more infos about flexbox you can start out by reading MDN : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Flexible_Box_Layout/Using_CSS_flexible_boxes.
And if you want to get more about flexbox, there is this amazing tutorial : http://flexboxzombies.com/p/flexbox-zombies
If I understand what you're wanting to do. You could give the tag a class/style and do float:right in the CSS. Which would look like this:
<p style="float:right;"><img src="image.jpg" /></p>
Do yo want text flow around image? If yes then it is something like this:

If you want separate column for image, then it is something like this:
