in the custom styles inside CKEditor, I have created a "Tip" block element that I want to have span one or more paragraphs. However, when I am editing my text (using the inline editor), I am unable to get the block style to work across multiple paragraphs.
My style looks like this:
CKEDITOR.stylesSet.add('authorStyles', [
// Block-level styles
{
name: 'Yellow Tip',
element: 'p',
styles: {
margin: '1em 0',
padding: '20px 20px 4px',
border: '1px solid',
'border-radius': '15px',
'background-color': '#FFC',
'border-color': '#CC9'
}
}
]);
In the config.js, I added the line to wire-up the custom style
// custom styles
config.stylesSet = 'authorStyles:../authorStyle.js';
And here is my HTML:
<div class="section right" contenteditable="true" id="contentToSubmit">
<p>Here we have some addtional content that is also editable as well in addition to being just some text on its own right.</p>
<p>Here we have some addtional content that is also editable as well in addition to being just some text on its own right.</p>
<p>Here we have some addtional content that is also editable as well in addition to being just some text on its own right.</p>
<p>Here we have some addtional content that is also editable as well in addition to being just some text on its own right.</p>
</div>
Unfortunately, when I select two paragraphs to be contained in my div, they both display as their own blocks, instead of both <p> tags being inside my custom <div>.
Paragraphs not displaying properly inside custom block style div
I tried resetting the default enter key behavior (via the enterkey extra plugin), but the only thing I could get to work is setting the enter key behavior to line break (<br/>) which isn't desirable.
I have looked around for help on this particular issue, but can't seem to find an article that deals with this problem. Can anyone help me? We are trying to determine whether ckeditor will be sufficient for our needs, but this is a big blocking issue for our content editors.
The short answer is:
Defined your style as a div style, because you want it to apply to divs not ps, right? So you should have: element: 'div'.
Instead of applying the style through styles combo, what will replace paragraphs with divs, use the "Div" button to open the "Create Div Container" dialog and choose your style in the dialog.

I want to edit the "p" content which is inside the content div on my shopping cart page.
As the content div appears on every page, I don't wish to just go for "content + p"
Is there an attribute I can use that will "select all p tags in the div above cart-module"
<div class="content">
<p>The content I want to edit<./p>
<div class="cart-module">
<div class="cart-total">
Also, is there a problem with attribute rules slowing down the pages?
If the structure is always as you describe in you question then you can go with the first child selector:
.content > p:first-child {
background-color: red;
}
wich will get the p inside the content only if it is in the first place inside of it.
Regarding your second question, it will always depend on how and how many attributes you use on each page. The attribute selectors are slower than the ids or classes, because the latter are indexed by the browsers, just for this reason. Anyway, if you don't use them massively surely you won't notice the difference.
Of course, if you have access to modify the html structure the easiest would be to add a class to the p tags you want to select...
It's not possible with pure CSS.
If you want to style "all p tags in the div above cart-module", do some JQuery instead.
First, define a piece of CSS:
.my-custom-css {
color: chucknorris;
}
Then use JQuery prevAll()
$(".cart-module").prevAll().addClass("my-custom-css");
// Or do something with p tag
$(".cart-module").prevAll().find("p").addClass("my-custom-css");
// Edit content
$(".cart-module").prevAll().find("p").text("Thank God It's Friday");
Oh you want to modify something like structure or content of those "all p tags in the div above cart-module", just do the same with prevAll().
I'm trying to make my little icons on this page (http://www.alinewbury.com/contact.html) into links.
They're each in a div separately, but whenever I try to do:
<div class="social-btn pinterest"></div>
It doesn't seem to work! How can I link these icons to the respective websites?
The Div is supposed to be inside the Anchor tag.
Check Anchor tag usage
To make the icon click able you have to fix some issues. First of all your icons are not really linked. you can see the Hand cursor because the property defined in the class .social-btn
To make a icon clickable you should follow this approach. put the text inside a tag a better approach also you have to change the font-size:0
.social-btn a
{
padding: 22px;
font-size: 0;
}
your HTML should be like this.
<div class="social-btn pinterest">
pinterest
</div>
I have finally figured out how to use the Twitter Bootstrap Tooltips, and I am trying to style it. I have asked similar questions about other plugins, and they all ended up being specific CSS selectors. For jScrollPane, the track's selector was .jspTrack.
Fiddle
My question is, what is the CSS selector for the Twitter Bootstrap tooltips?
The documentation linked in the comments shows you a sample of the markup that's produced when a tooltip is generated:
Markup
The generated markup of a tooltip is rather simple, though it does require a position (by default, set to top by the plugin).
<div class="tooltip">
<div class="tooltip-inner">
Tooltip!
</div>
<div class="tooltip-arrow"></div>
</div>
It should be fairly easy to determine the CSS selector based on this.
There are additional class names attached to .tooltip that you can see if you open your browser's DOM inspector and then hover your form element. The one in your example generates the following .tooltip element:
<div class="tooltip fade right in" style="…">
If you need to select only the tooltip belonging to a specific trigger element, that depends on where exactly the tooltip is placed in the DOM. The documentation says (just above the first section I quoted):
Usage
The tooltip plugin generates content and markup on demand, and by default places tooltips after their trigger element.
So the selector would be .mytrigger + .tooltip where .mytrigger is the form element triggering that tooltip. The DOM position is determined by the container option, otherwise it's the default as stated.
Since the font tag in HTML is being deprecated in HTML5 (and I understand why) is there a clean solution for applying certain attributes and styles to only portions of a paragraph text? I'm using JavaScript to parse an XML file that relies on the fact that the font tag allows portions of wrapping text to be formatted using class-based CSS. I realize the "anchor" (a) tag could also be used for this purpose, but that way seems very backwards and unnatural.
EDIT
When I asked this question (a couple years ago now) I was failing to understand that every DOM element falls into a display category, the two primary categories being:
block - insists on taking up its own row
inline - falls in line with other inline elements or text
HTML offers two generic container elements, each of which by default adheres to one of these display values; div for block display, and span for inline display.
The span element is the perfect way to designate a certain chunk of text and give it a unique style or ID because you can wrap it around part of a larger paragraph without breaking the selected contents into a new row.
The span tag would be the best way.
Although inline CSS is typically not recommended, here is an example:
<p>
This is my <span style="font-weight:bold">paragraph</span>.
</p>
span and div are similar, but the div tag is a block element, so it will cause line-breaks. span is an inline tag that can be used inline with your text.
HTML:
<span class="yourstyle">
Text in your style
</span>
CSS:
.yourstyle {
color: red;
}
you could use a <span> tag
<p>here is your paragraph text and it goes on and on and on..... and now
lets start some <span>formatted text.</span> here is another<span>section
of formatted text</span> here is unformatted text<p>
you can either do inline styles such as <span style="color: #000000; font-family: calibri, arial, helvetica;"> or you can just apply a class to your span, like <span class="textformat1" and <span class="textformat2">. then just apply different css rules based on the class.
.textformat1 {
color: red;
}
.textformat2 {
color: blue;
}
hope this helps
Always use css files to hold your code which will be considered "universal" for each element you set. When you want to set for a specific, lets say <span> element. You would do just as Adam Plocher said above, use the style="" attribute for the <span>element.
Textareas are great because of some built in functionality (scrollbars). How can I format <spans> of text inside of the <textarea>?
If you need to customize your textarea, reproduce its behavior using another element (like a DIV) with the contenteditable attribute.
It's more customizable, and a more modern approach, textarea is just for plain text content, not for rich content.
<div id="fake_textarea" contenteditable></div>
The scrollbars can be reproduced with the CSS overflow property.
You can use this fake textarea in a form normally, i.e: if you have to submit its content through POST method, you could do something like(with jQuery):
<input type="hidden" id="fake_textarea_content" name="foobar">
...
$('#your_form').submit(function()
{
$('#fake_textarea_content').val($('#fake_textarea').html());
});
You Can't style the content of a text area separately, you have to use <div>s, or something similar.
Do you Want Something like this:?
http://jsfiddle.net/mekwall/XNkDx/
$('.editable').each(function(){
this.contentEditable = true;
});
This allows you to edit the content of a div, and it will still look like a textarea,
Bold will now Work.
You cannot use HTML inside TEXTAREA.
Scrolling can be applied to any element by adding overflow: auto and fixed width and/or height.
You can user html editors for web like CKEditor to be able to format the data in text area. Check this http://ckeditor.com/
Another way to submit the "fake" text area is including the following lines inside the form tag
<form onsubmit=" $('#fake_textarea_content').val($('#fake_textarea').html());">
</form>
