I have a class like this
.mydiv a {
color: #014BA4;
}
How can I use this class for the span element ? (Without adding/modifying the CSS file - I have no right to do)
<div class="mydiv">
This text is #014BA4
<span>How can I use the above class</span>
</div>
A terrible solution, but desperate times call for desperate measures; If you wrap your span in an anchor tag with the href attribute set to # and then stop the default behaviour...
<div class="mydiv">
This text is #014BA4
<span>How can I use the above class</span>
</div>
You would never normally do this but if it has to be done and you absolutely can't edit your css file then it's the only way I can think of.
Try this
.mySpan,.mydiv a {
color:#014BA4;
}
<div class="mydiv">
This text is #014BA4
<span class="mySpan">How can I use the above class</span>
</div>
Update your CSS as mentioned below :
.mydiv a,.mydiv span {
color:#014BA4;
}
This will add the styles to all spans
.mydiv a, span {
color:#014BA4;
}
to add this to a particular span
.mydiv a,.mydiv span {
color:#014BA4;
}
and apply the class to the span
asdf
Try this
.mydiv a,.mydiv {
color:#014BA4;
}
just .mydiv span would do the trick
.mydiv span{
color:#014BA4;
}
Try to this
.mydiv span, .mydiv a{
color:#014BA4;
}
if you used to all element inner .mydiv than used to this css
.mydiv{
color:#014BA4;
}
This will make Each Next <span> after <a> with the same stile:
.mydiv a,
.mydiv a + span {
color: #014BA4;
}

I have an element with id. I try to choose some of its children via CSS selectors. #myDiv span, #myDiv i works but I wonder if there is a shorter way for this.
I've tried nested selectors like
#myDiv {
& span, i {
color: red
}
}
but didn't work.
#myDiv span, #myDiv i {
color: red
}
<div id="myDiv">
<span>My Span</span>
<p>My P</p>
<i>My I</i>
</div>
Your nested code is in SCSS not in CSS, and there is no nesting in CSS.
The shortest CSS code if you will not add any another elements under this container in future will be
#myDiv *:not(p) {
color: red
}
If you want it to be recursive (let's say, in the future, some #myDiv elements will have their own child elements), use:
#myDiv > *:not(p) {
color: red
}
You can like this:
#myDiv {
& span, & i {
color: red
}
}
it seems that you forgot to put "&" before every new class selector.
I have a very strange behaviour of "not()" css selector.
Here my simplified code:
<div id="mapDiv" class="mapDiv mapDiv1">
pippo
<div class="gm-style">pluto</div>
</div>
<div id="mapDiv2" class="mapDiv mapDiv2">
pippo
<div class="gm-style">pluto</div>
</div>
and my css:
.mapDiv1,.mapDiv2
{
width:300px;
height:100px;
border:solid 1px red;
}
.mapDiv div
{
width:200px;
height:50px;
border:solid 1px blue;
}
:not(.mapDiv1) div
{
color:green;
}
a jsFiddle is provided here.
I would think that color:green will be applied only to second box texts, due to not() selector.... instead it is applied to both.
Can you explain me why?
As per my understandings, :not() is a negation pseudo-class.
Which means, first you select a bunch of elements and then remove elements from the selected bunch using negation pseudo-class.
Hence it should be prefixed by a selector.
If you change your css to :
div:not(.mapDiv1)
{
color:green;
}
This will select all the divs except the divs with class '.mapDiv1'
And if you change the code to:
div:not(.mapDiv1) div
{
color:green;
}
This will select all the divs within a parent div except for those parent divs with class '.mapDiv1'.
More Reference Here
you have to change your code as
div:not(.mapDiv1)
{
color:green;
}
I updated your fiddle as Fiddle
Demo
div:not(.mapDiv1) div {
color:green;
}

try this
div:not(.mapDiv1) {

Without altering the html is there any way to target the last .red class using CSS?
<div class="row">
<div class="red">Red</div>
<div class="red">Red</div>
<div class="red">Target Me With CSS???</div>
<div class="blue">Blue</div>
<div class="blue">Blue</div>
<div class="blue">Blue</div>
</div>
here's what I've tried :
.row > div{
display:inline-block;
padding:10px;
}
.row .red{
background-color:#770000;
color:#fff;
}
.row .red:first-child{
background-color:#440000;
color:#fff;
}
/*have tried :last-of-type too*/
.row .red:last-child{
background-color:#FF0000;
}
.row div:last-child{
background-color:#0000BB;
}
I don't believe there is a way to do that without using JS.
The closest you can get is to target the 3rd item with:
.row div:nth-child(3) {
background: chucknorris;
}
You can include a qualifier to only target the third child if it is .red like so:
.red:nth-child(3) {
background: chucknorris;
}

Unfortunately, you can't do this with CSS alone. Here are a few other SO questions that are related to yours:
Using :last-child with class selector
CSS last-child selector: select last-element of specific class, not last child inside of parent?
However, if your last .red sometimes is in different positions, and you can't change the HTML at all, then you will have to rely on some light JS/jQuery.
$(function() {
$('.row .red').last().addClass('last-red-class');
});
You can use it to add another class to the last .red, and just reference that in your CSS.

HTH
:last-of-type description
The :last-of-type CSS pseudo-class represents the last sibling of its type in the list of children of its parent element.
and syntax
element:last-of-type { style properties }
So, what really going in your example is that the browser selected the right div element but it was not the last div element of its parent; therefore, nothing was applied. To test this, change all your .red class div into a span and do the following
.row span:last-of-type{
background-color:#FF0000;
}
then you will get a working code.

How can I change the text which is contained in <p> tags by using CSS's pseudo class selectors?
For example, when I hover over a paragraph, the content of paragraph must change to what would be specified in p:hover selector.
jsFiddle.
One way is to use p:hover:before along with the content attribute.
Here's an example:
Html:
<p>
<span>First text!</span>
</p>
CSS:
p:hover span {
display:none
}
p:hover:before {
content:"Second text appears instead!";
color:red;
}
If you'd like to know more about the content property, check out this nice little article.
Zenith has a simpler solution, but the following allows you to put formatting in your "hover" content. Try the following HTML:
<p>
<span class="normalDisplay">Text to display <em>usually</em>.</span>
<span class="hoverDisplay">Text to display on <em>hover</em>.</span>
</p>
and the following CSS:
p .hoverDisplay {
display: none;
}
p .normalDisplay {
display: inline;
}
p:hover .hoverDisplay {
display: inline;
}
p:hover .normalDisplay {
display: none;
}

I have a link inside a DIV. How can I change the color of this link inside this div. This code does not seem to work
<style type="text/css">
.someDiv
{
font-size:14px;
color:#c62e16;
}
</style>
<div id="someDiv">
SOne Text
</div>
Thanks.
ids are accessed by a pound sign (#), and classes are accessed by a period (.)
<style type="text/css">
#someDiv a
{
font-size:14px;
color:#c62e16;
}
</style>
<div id="someDiv">
SOne Text
</div>
use
.someDiv a {
font-size:14px;
color:#c62e16;
}
You are using the wrong selector. You have an id="someLink", and the CSS is looking for the class="someLink". Try with #someLink, it'll work.
div#someDiv a{
color: #hexcode;
}
That will work too, you use the selector to select ALL the elements of the type "a" in a div with the id="someDiv".
While you're using the wrong selector for someDiv you will usually need to set a colours separately:
#someDiv, #someDiv a {
color: red;
}
