Hey I have a problem which is two part but the first one is obviously where I must begin:
I have inherited a project which has three stylesheets, desktop.css, tablet.css, and mobile.css - they are called like so on the page:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/tablet.css" media="all and (min-width:600px) and (max-width:799px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/mobile.css" media="all and (min-width:10px) and (max-width:599px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/desktop.css" media="all and (min-width:800px) " />
However the programmers before me were in a hurry and really, most of the code is the same; they just made tweaks per file as needed. Probably 90% of the code is the same.
My goal is to have a common stylesheet first as below:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/UNIVERSAL.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/tablet.css" media="all and (min-width:600px) and (max-width:799px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/mobile.css" media="all and (min-width:10px) and (max-width:599px)" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/desktop.css" media="all and (min-width:800px) " />
and get all common css into universal.css, and include on the other files only the "overrides" needed for that particular device.
All three files are a mess. There are multiple instances of a class/id declarations. They are quite out of order. I know there are CSS prettifiers out there, but is there any application which will take a CSS file, "READ" it, and re-output it in a condensed format?
It would be also nice to do a diff on the css and see what's different. DIFF itself is not going to work because of being out of order in probably multiple ways. So if you know anything in this regard, I'd appreciate it.

If I use this .css file in my code, it will overlap the previous .css files which I wrote myself, how can i load my .css files first, if I can not find the css then turn to the bootstrap .css file?
i would guess that your css declaration looks like this
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="yourcss.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap.css" />
you should change them upside-down
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="yourcss.css" />
the reason is that any css that is closer to the body tag, will be considered the first priority. if items in yourcss.css has the SAME NAME with the items your bootstrap.css, the bootstrap.css's items will be OVERRIDDEN. if you didn't want to override these, make sure the item/class/id name is different for each in the yourcss.css. Make the best practice of giving each tag a different class name for your css.
You write your css files like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/bootstrap.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style/your-style.css" />
try this
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/bootstrap.css">
after your own css
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/css/YOURCSS.css">
You could load your own CSS with
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />
and then import bootstrap inside your own CSS file, that way your CSS will be on top of bootstrap and you will be able to override it.
#import url("bootstrap.css");
One of my stylesheets doesn't seem to load every style. I've read everything i can find but the issues that people usually have are obvious things to me but i can't seem to figure out my own issue. I have a site made using Razor and this is where i call my stylesheets in the head section.
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/reset.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/jquery-ui-1.10.1.custom.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/searchLayout.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/searchSkin.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/skin.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/AvailabilityLayout.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/AvailabilitySkin.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<link href="#Url.Content("~/css/Home.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The issue seems to be with the AVailabilitySkin.css and sometimes AvailabilityLayout.css. So for example i have this code in AvailibilitySkin.css:
td#price h2, td#price h4
{
text-align:center;
}
And it doesn't get picked up, I don't even see it being overwritten by another style or anything. But if I add the same code to the Skin.css file then it works perfectly fine. I can't add all my styles to Skin.css so i can't just put that style in there and call it a day. It has to be separated, right now the site is being developed locally so unfortunately i cannot post a link to the site but if anything is needed (like more code) please let me know. I haven't been able to find the issue and I've tried adding #charset "UTF-8"; at the top of the stylesheets and it didn't really do much.
Problem has been fixed guys/gals. In the end it was just another mistake by me and it wasn't coming up in the Console and Visual Studio wasn't flagging it as an issue. It was mostly just a missed single quote and another programmer here ran the code through WebStorm and it came right up and fixed it. Thanks for the help and sorry for the dumb mistake question.
I know this is a simple question but for some reason I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong here.
My understanding is that if you declare 2 CSS files
<script type="text/css" src="JQueryUI.css"></script>
<script type="text/css" src="Override.css"></script>
I want to use the "Override.css" to override some values, so if I type let's say ".ui-accordion" and put my own values, i would expect them to take priority over the original values located under that name on the JQuery.css file.
Mainly because the declaration states that Override.css comes AFTER JWuery.css.
For some reason this is NOT happening.
I tried switching the declaration of the 2 files
...but the Jquery.css seems to ALWAYS seems to take priority.
Any reason why ??
This is not working because you are not loading correctly the css files.
It should be:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="JQueryUI.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Override.css" type="text/css" media="all" />
I am agree with Zhihao about specificity of elements, but I have also noticed that your are using <script> to attach CSS files, use <link> tags instead, maybe that would load your css and it will override existing styles:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="JQueryUI.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Override.css" />
P.S. just posted my notice in the comment as an answer
on my site i have 3 css
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="screen.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="handheld" href="handheld.css" />
i thought the media handheld will automatically load my site formated for devices
when i load my site with my android, i still see the "site.css" why it does not load the handheld.css?
Apparently Android/iPhone/Nokia browsers don't think that they are handhelds.
You should use media queries to detect devices.
Currently I have my stylesheets as such:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" href="css/print.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css"/>
Is there a way to force style.css to be only on a monitor, and force print to only be on printed matter? I'm trying to make a printer-friendly page and it's taking forever to override the mass of rules in style.css.
Use media="screen" on the main stylesheet so styles are only applied on a monitor screen:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="print" type="text/css" href="css/print.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="screen" type="text/css" href="css/style.css" />
If you don't specify a media attribute, the stylesheet takes a default of media="all", which means styles are applied everywhere.
Read more about media types here (HTML spec) and here (CSS spec).
