EDIT #3, and finall:
Ok, so i actually made it happend. Idiotically, however. In case someone will need the same, i'll post a solution here:
What i've did is, basically defined the global style as below:
a:link,a:visited
{
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover,a:active
{
color:#000000;
text-decoration:none;
}
That was the very basic parameters i could insert at the global style. The next move is makin' the same inside the link and customize it for ur need as like as u want, hover, make sure u're doin' the copy of that customization of ur div, and insert the :hover thing into it, as following:
.some-div-cutomization
{
text-decoration:none!important;
blabla
}
.some-div-cutomization:hover
{
text-decoration:none!important;
blabla
edit if needed the hover function
}
That's about it. Have fun :)
I've got some source links, that i can't touch, even to insert the class element, so i would be able to change the style of the links, but i do need somehow to change they style.
So, let's say tag of this link would be [link][/link], so what i did is, put inside it div element with full customization and it's worked, however there's two moments:
1) I don't really know if it's may work properly on all browsers, 'cause i need it cross-browser version actually.
2) i can't get rid of the text-decoration line. i've tried text-decoration with none, and even mad a copy style of that specific div with :hover and put inside it text-decoration none, and still, it's not working.
Also, if there's some another trick to avoid such a thing, please share.
EDIT:
I've tried all below, didn't work as i wanted to. BUT, i've made it, but with very, very ugly coding, and i'm not sure it's goin' to work at all browsers:
I've inserted the link-element with underline none inside the one() i can't touch, so now it's link inside another link, witch very ugly.
[link-i-cant-touch]<div class="style_test"><a id="no-textdecoration" href="#">somecooltext</a></div>[/link-i-cant-touch]
.style_test
{
text-decoration:none!important;
font-family: 'qsc';
text-align:left;
padding-top:0px;
color:#000000;
}
#no-textdecoration{
text-decoration:none!important;
color:#000000;
}
#no-textdecoration:hover{
text-decoration:none!important;
color:#1982d1;
}
EDIT Num2
That didn't work as well, because the link is changed to the second one, so it's redirect for "#"... :/
Make sure you target the a tag for the text-decoration, rather than applying it to the div
.my-div-class a { text-decoration: none; }
I don't know what you did wrong, as you haven't posted any code.
But this is the correct way of removing text-decoration on links.
HTML:
Link with text decoration
<a id="no-textdecoration" href="#">Link without text decoration</a>
CSS:
#no-textdecoration {
text-decoration:none;
}
Output: (In image format)

How do I fix the conflict I'm running into when trying to style the UL in this blog post with check mark images. There's a style set up in the skin that is taking precedence over my style I've applied to the ul. Not sure how to over-ride it. I've tried every variation I can think of, and I'm sure it's just a basic misunderstanding of how things cascade. Can you help?
The post is here: http://alexisexhibits.com/trade-show-preparation-checklist
The CSS I have for the style is:
.checklist {
list-style-image: url(http://alexisexhibits.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/checkmark-ul.jpg) !important;
}
I know, the !important declaration is hackery, but oftentimes I find it necessary in dealing with CMS stuff, since the CSS is so piled on top of each other. In this case, it doesn't seem to help, but I left it.
The offending rule that allows the checks to show up if I disable it in Chrome Dev inspector is:
.shortcodes ul li {
list-style: disc;
}
but I'm hesitant to change that as I don't want all ul li to change, just this specific one.
What's the right way to fix this? Any tips you can give on how to suss this sort of thing out for myself in the future?
list-style-image should be applied to the <li> not the <ul>
Like this:
.checklist li{
list-style-image: url('http://alexisexhibits.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/checkmark-ul.jpg') !important;
}
I'm making a widget for my user so they can include in their website.
In file style.css which hosted in my user website:
p {
font-size: 0;
}
In my widget - widget.css:
#mydiv {
font-size:12px;
}
However, when user include my CSS widget on their website. My CSS won't work and the one work is style.css. How to make my widget.css always work on top ?
I tried !important and it not work:
You can use !important next to the declaration; like this:
#mydiv {
font-size:12px !important;
}
Some people will claim that using !important is always bad practice but that's not the case. In fact, when making a plug-in or widget that's going to run in other people's sites, then that's when it's actually good practice. Take a look here: http://css-tricks.com/when-using-important-is-the-right-choice/
Edit: after seeing your image in the question, the problem is that it seems the ID ulcfrmcontainer refers to the container of the list and not the actual li elements within the containers. Try with this:
#ulcfrmcontainer li{
font-size:12px !important;
}
p is an existing html balise, and mydiv is an id, probably which select the parent div of your paragraph.
CSS apply rules following priority levels.
Here more informations:
W3C wiki about selector priority
Tips and tricks about it
Try to solve your problem with those informations, and use "!important" only if there is no other solutions.
(Good article to determine if use !important is the right solution :))
Hope it will help you to understand and resolve your problem :)
Wrap your widget in a div with an id that is unlikely to be used in the users site like 'widget-wrapper-div'. Or you could be more descriptive by including a one or two word description of the widget in the id such as 'partsearch-widget-wrapper'.
<div id="widget-wrapper-div">
<div>
Widget code...
</div>
</div>
Then in your CSS you would start each style rule with #widget-wrapper-div
#widget-wrapper-div div{
font-size: 12pt;
}
You have 2 options:
The right way:
1) Make sure your path to the element is exactly right. For example
.wrapper div p {}
2) Make sure your css file is include AFTER the other one
The other way (if the 1st doesn't work)
Use !important. Like this:
font-size:12px!important;
EDIT
Looking at your latest screenshots it looks like you're adding the font-size to a div with id #ulcfrmcontainer instead of to unordened list.
Might wanna try:
#ulcfrmcontainer ul {
font-size:12px;
}
Is there a way to reset visited and unvisited link colours to the browser default after they have been changed?
In my specific situation, I have a main style file containing:
a:link { color: black; }
a:visited { color: black; }
And I would like to have a few specific links rendered with the default colours.
EDIT: Here is a jsFiddle to play with. I would like a style for the default class that makes it match the browser default.
Edit:
Another way is avoiding the problem from the beginning. Give the special links you want to be with the default style a special class (let's call it .default), and instead of:
a:link { color: black; }
a:visited { color: black; }
Use the not pseudo class and write:
a:not(.default):link { color: black; }
a:not(.default):visited { color: black; }
Notice that this pseudo class doesn't work on IE 8 and lower. For them you can use a special CSS (I don't like it, but it'll work).
It is different for each browser.
What you would have to do is get a stylesheet from the browser you are trying to reset (Gecko, WebKit, or Trident) and make that the new default.
Source: Browsers' default CSS for HTML elements
What you're looking for is revert keyword, but it's not yet implemented in most browsers, currently only Safari supports it. The links to track the development per browser are listed in the Browser compatibility section on MDN.
Some day this should work everywhere:
a { color: red; }
a.reverted { color: revert; }
red <a class="reverted" href="#">default</a> red
But for now think about a workaround. The feature is just not there yet.
If that is the only css controlling your a tags then just remove those and that will take off any styling. You could also just change the color?? Like so...
a:link {color: blue;}
a:visited {color: purple;}
Nowadays we can do something like this:
<head>
<style>
:link { color: black; }
:visited { color: black; }
.default-color :link { color: LinkText; }
.default-color :visited { color: VisitedText; }
</style></head>
<body>
<a href='#'>link</a>,
<span class='default-color'>
<a href='#'>link</a></span></body>
The second link renders with default colours.
See: CSS Color Module § System Colors
You can only fiddle with the URL. Browsers record the URLs they've visited. If they're rendering a page, and a particular URL appears in that list, then url is colored as "visited".
You can't force a browser to treat a URL as visited, unless they've actually been there. But you CAN make a visited URL appear as "new" by adding something different to the url, so that it APPEARS new to the browser. e.g.
example.com/foo.php
example.com/foo.php?random=value
both point at the same script, but the browser will treat both as "different". If that random value changes each time, the the browser will effectively think each time it's a brand new url and color it as "new".
I guess one question to ask here is: why? Why would you want to do that in the first place? To my knowledge, there's no W3C standard delineating what default link colors should be, anyways. A value (such as default) for color wouldn't make sense at all, seeing as that the isn't a default value.
With that being said, the most logical way to go about this would to just style things yourself. I'm not sure what situation your in, but whatever the case is, I'm pretty sure you're doing something wrong if you're asking how to restore colors to the browser default. So, before I give you a rather dry solution, I'll ask: can you give us some context? In the case that you're making something like menu bar links and you don't want the same styling for those menu bar links to leak into your normal links, you should really be using some kind of container to select those links in.
Anyways, here comes that dry solution. Most browsers use blue for links, purple for visited links, and red for active links. So, something like the following would work for browsers that go by these colors (assuming that the user hasn't modified the browsers' styling sheet, in which case you may want to learn about that or use something like initial, examined in Itay's answer).
a:link, a { color: blue; }
a:visited { color: purple; }
a:active { color: red; }
enter code herea.class{
color:inherit;
}
Specifies that the color should be inherited from the parent element.
so if your body was color:blue; then followed by a.class{color:inherit} then those examples would be blue. at the same time, you could just use a.class:link{color:blue}. and another for when you visit the link.
Your best with just customizing classes of links of special interest and leaving the rest by default.
No, you cannot set any CSS property to the browser default if it has been changed (i.e., if there is any style sheet being applied that assigns a value to the property. This follows from basic principles of CSS.
So consider asking a different question. There are ways to limit the effect of CSS rules to specific elements, instead of e.g. preventing all links from looking like links.
Just style the ones you want to style by setting a class on them.
.class:link{}
.class:visited{}
Then leave the others default.
You can use this:
a {
color: inherit;
}
That will inherit, and as there is no other link color so the browser will give the link its own style!
Can you have a look at my code and please tell me why the hover is not working, thanks!
<style>
#moreDiscussHome:hover{
background-color: #ffffff;
}
</style>
<a id="moreDiscussHome" style="color:#f1f7f8;background-color:#12a1b7;" href="">more discussions</a>
Well, as soon as display: none; is applied, you are no longer hovering the element because it is not there, so it will basically flicker constantly or do nothing.
Try opacity* instead perhaps:
#moreDiscussHome:hover {
opcaity: 0;
}
Note that the element still retains it's space in the layout with this, which may not be what you want... but I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to achieve with this.
Side note: There's no reason not to move those other inline styles to a stylesheet.
This doesn't work: #moreDiscussHome:hover{ background-color: #ffffff; }
EDIT: I strongly urge you to move all inline styles to a CSS file. If for no other reason, to avoid some of the issues you already seem to be having with trying to apply background colors. A shortcut might seem easier at the time, but as the saying goes: "Shortcuts make for long delays". (In other words, don't do it)
* visibility:hidden will respond to :hover the same as display:none, so it won't work either. Thanks to thirtydot for the tip.
When we use Text Replacement using CSS and give a negative test-indent i.e. text-indent:-9999px. Then when we click on that link the Dotted line appears like in the sample image below. What's the solution for this?
For Remove outline for anchor tag
a {outline : none;}
Remove outline from image link
a img {outline : none;}
Remove border from image link
img {border : 0;}
You can use the CSS property "outline" and value of "none" on the anchor element.
a {
outline: none;
}
Hope that helps.
For Internet Explorer 9:
a:active, a:focus {
outline: none;
ie-dummy: expression(this.hideFocus=true);
}
Source: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-HK/ieextensiondevelopment/thread/1023adfd-bd73-47ac-ba9c-2bad19ac583a
Please note that the focus styles are there for a reason: if you decide to remove them, people who navigate via the keyboard only don't know what's in focus anymore, so you're hurting the accessibility of your website.
(Keeping them in place also helps power users that don't like to use their mouse)
There is the same border effect in Firefox and Internet Explorer (IE), it becomes visible when you click on some link.
This code will fix just IE:
a:active { outline: none; }.
And this one will fix both Firefox and IE:
:active, :focus { outline: none; -moz-outline-style: none; }
Last code should be added into your stylesheet, if you would like to remove the link borders from your site.
include this code in your style sheet
img {border : 0;}
a img {outline : none;}
I hope this is useful to some of you, it can be used to remove outline from links, images and flash and from MSIE 9:
a, a:hover, a:active, a:focus, a img, object, embed {
outline: none;
ie-dummy: expression(this.hideFocus=true); /* MSIE - Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 remove outline */
}
The code below is able to hide image border:
img {
border: 0;
}
If you would like to support Firefox 3.6.8 but not Firefox 4... Clicking down on an input type=image can produce a dotted outline as well, to remove it in the old versions of firefox the following will do the trick:
input::-moz-focus-inner {
border: 0;
}
IE 9 doesn't allow in some cases to remove the dotted outline around links unless you include this meta tag between and in your pages:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
This is the latest one that works on Google Chrome
:link:focus, :visited:focus {outline: none;}
in order to Removing The Dotted Outline href link you can write in your css file:
a {
outline: 0;
}
If the solution above doesn't work for anyone. Give this a try as well
a {
box-shadow: none;
}
-moz-user-focus: ignore; in Gecko-based browsers (you may need !important, depending on how it's applied)
Use Like This for HTML 4.01
<img src="image.gif" border="0">
You can put overflow:hidden onto the property with the text indent, and that dotted line, that spans out of the page, will dissapear.
I've seen a couple of posts about removing outlines all together. Be careful when doing this as you could lower the accessibility of the site.
a:active { outline: none; }
I personally would use this attribute only, as if the :hover attribute has the same css properties it will prevent the outlines showing for people who are using the keyboard for navigation.
Hope this solves your problem.
I'm unsure if this is still an issue for this individual, but I know it can be a pain for many people in general. Granted, the above solutions will work in some instances, but if you are, for example, using a CMS like WordPress, and the outlines are being generated by either a plugin or theme, you will most likely not have this issue resolved, depending on how you are adding the CSS.
I'd suggest having a separate StyleSheet (for example, use 'Lazyest StyleSheet' plugin), and enter the following CSS within it to override the existing plugin (or theme)-forced style:
a:hover,a:active,a:link {
outline: 0 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
}
Adding '!important' to the specific rule will make this a priority to generate even if the rule may be elsewhere (whether it's in a plugin, theme, etc.).
This helps save time when developing. Sure, you can dig for the original source, but when you're working on many projects, or need to perform updates (where your changes can be overridden [not suggested!]), or add new plugins or themes, this is the best recourse to save time.
Hope this helps...Peace!
I would bet most users aren't the type of user that use the keyboard as a navigation control. Is it then acceptable to annoy the majority of your users for a small group that prefers to use keyboard navigation? Short answer — depends on who your users are.
Also, I don't see this experience in the same way in Firefox and Safari. So this argument seems to be mostly for IE. It all really depends on your user base and their level of knowledge — how they use the site.
If you really want to know where you are and you are a keyboard user, you can always look at the status bar as you key through the site.
This works perfectly for me
a img {border:none;}
Any image that has a link will have a border around the image to help indicate it is a link with older browsers. Adding border="0" to your IMG HTML tag will prevent that picture from having a border around the image.
However, adding border="0" to every image would not only be time consuming it will also increase the file size and download time. If you don't want any of your images to have a border, create a CSS rule or CSS file that has the below code in it.
img { border-style: none; }
Yes we can use. CSS reset as a {outline:none} and also
a:focus, a:active {outline:none}
for the Best Practice in Resetting CSS, The Best Solution is using common :focus{outline:none} If you still have Best Option please Share
