What I'm looking for might be very basic if someone is using bootstrap for a while.
I'm looking for a way to style the body background let say #ebebeb and the container background #fff with a padding of 10px, if you go search something on m.Google.com you will see exactly what I'm talking about.
Somehow I cannot figure out how to do it with Twitter Bootstrap 3.0.2
Could you please edit your question and provide your code? There could be more than one issue causing the problem, and it'll be easier to help you if I can see your code.
If I had to guess, I'd say the easiest way achieve what you want would be something like this:
body {
background: #ebebeb;
}
.container {
background: #fff;
}
Make sure that you're including this CSS after you've included bootstrap.css, otherwise it won't override the default styles set by Bootstrap. Here's a the fiddle that shows this: http://jsfiddle.net/5KwP3/1/
One thing to be aware of however, is that anything that isn't in the container div won't have any padding by default.

I am using the Pinterest hover button widget for a client website.
https://developers.pinterest.com/on_hover_pin_it_buttons/
By default it appears at the top left of all images. It doesn't look like their script allows for positioning. Is it possible to override this with CSS?
Thanks
Yes I believe that it is. If you generate the code you will see that the pin it button is created as a span and then positioned with inline styles, I am guessing dynamically with each image.
In the example I looked at it had the class xc_pin, so I will use that for my example but bear in mind that the class you have may be different.
As I mentioned, the span is styled inline, so to overwrite it you will have to use !important, else the styles will be overwritten. Here is how your code could look:
xc_pin {
left: 20px !important;
top: 50px !important;
}
I hope that this helps!
EDIT WITH WORKING JSFIDDLE
After playing around with the css I managed to find a way to target it using the css sibling selector, here is the jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/2xzxgvfw/19/
Hope this solves your issue!
I do not know how you generated the code but I think there should be somewhere a file called: ppibfi_pinterest.css in this file look for the line:
.pibfi_pinterest .xc_pin{}
there you should find something like: top: 5px; margin-left: -1px;
if you adjust this, you should be able to modify the position of the pinterest icon
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;
}
Newbie question. I'm trying to use a background image for my site which is built with Bootstrap.
I've added additional body CSS in a separate css file in my asset pipeline, and added a background-image:
body {
font-size: 16px;
padding-top: 10px;
background-image: url("../assets/back14.gif");
}
This changes the background fine but also applies it to other elements like nav units etc that I want to leave with default colours.
Can I fix this behaviour or apply the background in a better way?
Sorry to say, but I think you are correct: those backgrounds are transparent by default. As you can see from the Customize page, although there are variables for the backgrounds of active and hover links in the Navbar section, there is no variable for the background of plain old regular Navbar links. :/
Otherwise, not that hard of an override:
.nav-stacked > li > a {
background-color:#ffffff;
}
But still seems like something that should be in there as an option.

I just began work on this site for a client, the site is www.kingcharltonmusic.com. It was built by someone else, so maybe I just can't find what I'm looking for.
Essentially, the comment section at the end of some pages (About for example) have a transparent background, and no matter how much I alter the css it doesn't seem to effect it.
I'm not sure if I need more information than this, but if so please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Depending on what order the rules are in, background: can override background-color.
I made a little demonstration so you can get a feel for how the various rules override each other, you can play with it:
http://jsbin.com/ecohuk/edit#html,live
You need to find out if there is another rule further down in your stylesheet that is overriding it, or at the very least use background: instead of background-color
Just from a quick glance, div#comments doesn't appear to have a background set explicitly. Through firebug/webkit tools I could successfully change the background to white, so I suspect that all you need is the right element to target with your css.
#comments {
background-color: white;
padding: 0.75em;
}
Make sure to clear your cache (server and client side) after you have uploaded your new CSS file.
I'm used to use padding + background-image to place an icon next to a link.
There are many example of this approach. Here is one from here:
<a class="external" href="http://www.othersite.com/">link</a>
a.external {
padding-right: 15px;
background: transparent url(images/external-link-icon.gif) no-repeat top right;
}
But most browser don't print background image, which is annoying.
What is the standard to place icon next to links which is semantically correct and works in all cases?
EDIT
What about CSS :before and :after? Is it a recommended practice?
a.test:after {
padding-right: 5px;
content: url(../pix/logo_ppk.gif);
}
I'd personally pad it and put a background image via a CSS class (just like your example). It's by far the lightest route, it keeps the document light and semantic.
If printing them really matters (and I do mean really matters) stick a real image in there but be aware that it does screw up markup from a semantic aspect.
Perhaps a better compromise solution would be to have a "printable version" which uses images instead (either by something server-size or some JS that replaces the CSS class with an actual image.
Although as OLi saying keep icon in css is best method and there is no way to print css backgrounds. (until you turned on css background printing from browser settings).
but if you can use javascript then this method will work for you
