I have this CSS code for a textbox class and I'm on working on linux.
It's saved in a .css file and i'm using gedit. But the box-shadow property isn't recognized. All the others have that different font which shows a keyword or so. But not box-shadow. Any ideas please? It seems to work on windows when i use notepad++.
.textbox
{
background: white;
border: 1px solid #ffa853;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 0 5px 3px #00FFFF;
color: #666;
outline: none;
height:23px;
width: 275px;
}
You may be confusing box-shadow with text-shadow.
text-shadow applies to text, box applies to containers
I have made a small fiddle to demonstrate both
div {
width: 200px;
height: 300px;
background-color: #fff;
box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px grey;
}
p {
text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px black;
color: red;
font-size: 5em;
}
<div>
<p>
hello
</p>
</div>
if you are trying to adjust the appearance of an input (or a number of inputs)
a useful way of doing it is:
input[type="text"] {
/*your styles here*/
}
When the form is auto-filled, the icon is gone, and how can I fix that?
Someone asked similar question, but was never answered. A forgotton question
CSS:
input[type=text] {
width: 200px;
height: 25px;
padding: 0;
border: solid 1px;
}
#name {
background: url(images/icons/user.jpg) no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
background-position: 5px;
padding-left: 25px;
}
OK, This problem happens because the browser auto-filling changes the background color to yellow and I think there are no way to override this auto-filling because you use background-image, we just can override the background-color like that:
input:-webkit-autofill {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 1000px white inset;
}
But we have some things to do :
1- you can use autocomplete="off" to prevent auto complete and we can avoid this problem.
2- you can give the background image to another element like using :before for the div which contain the input element, I made demo for this solution and you can see it here : https://jsfiddle.net/IA7medd/obc68xhw/
HTML:
<div class="inputContainer">
<input type="text">
</div>
and the style :
input[type=text] {
width: 200px;
height: 25px;
padding: 0;
border: solid 1px;
background:white;
padding-left: 25px;
}
input:-webkit-autofill {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0px 1000px white inset;
}
.inputContainer{
display:inline-block;
position:relative;
}
.inputContainer:before{
content:"";
position:absolute;
width:20px;
height:20px;
top:3px;
left:5px;
background: url(https://image.freepik.com/free-icon/male-user-shadow_318-34042.png) no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
}
I need to create a solid color inset border. This is the bit of CSS I'm using:
border: 10px inset rgba(51,153,0,0.65);
Unfortunately that creates a 3D ridged border (ignore the squares and dark description box)
You could use box-shadow, possibly:
#something {
background: transparent url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/RL5UH.png) 50% 50% no-repeat;
min-width: 300px;
min-height: 300px;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #0f0;
}
#something {
background: transparent url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/RL5UH.png) 50% 50% no-repeat;
min-width: 300px;
min-height: 300px;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 10px #0f0;
}
<div id="something"></div>
This has the advantage that it will overlay the background-image of the div, but it is, of course, blurred (as you'd expect from the box-shadow property). To build up the density of the shadow you can add additional shadows of course:
#something {
background: transparent url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/RL5UH.png) 50% 50% no-repeat;
min-width: 300px;
min-height: 300px;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px #0f0, inset 0 0 20px #0f0, inset 0 0 20px #0f0;
}
#something {
background: transparent url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/RL5UH.png) 50% 50% no-repeat;
min-width: 300px;
min-height: 300px;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 20px #0f0, inset 0 0 20px #0f0, inset 0 0 20px #0f0;
}
<div id="something"></div>
Edited because I realised that I'm an idiot, and forgot to offer the simplest solution first, which is using an otherwise-empty child element to apply the borders over the background:
#something {
background: transparent url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/RL5UH.png) 50% 50% no-repeat;
min-width: 300px;
min-height: 300px;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
}
#something div {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
border: 10px solid rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.6);
}
<div id="something">
<div></div>
</div>
Edited after #CoryDanielson's comment, below:
jsfiddle.net/dPcDu/2 you can add a 4th px parameter for the box-shadow that does the spread and will more easily reflect his images.
#something {
background: transparent url(https://i.stack.imgur.com/RL5UH.png) 50% 50% no-repeat;
min-width: 300px;
min-height: 300px;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 10px rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.5);
}
<div id="something"></div>
I would recomnend using box-sizing.
*{
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
-ms-box-sizing:border-box;
box-sizing:border-box;
}
#bar{
border: 10px solid green;
}
To produce a border inset within an element the only solution I've found (and I've tried all the suggestions in this thread to no avail) is to use a pseudo-element such as :before
E.g.
.has-inset-border:before {
content: " "; /* to ensure it displays */
position: absolute;
left: 10px;
right: 10px;
top: 10px;
bottom: 10px;
border: 4px dashed red;
pointer-events: none; /* user can't click on it */
}
The box-sizing property won't work, as the border always ends up outside everything.
The box-shadow options has the dual disadvantages of not really working and not being supported as widely (and costing more CPU cycles to render, if you care).
It's an old trick, but I still find the easiest way to do this is to use outline-offset with a negative value (example below uses -6px). Here's a fiddle of it—I've made the outer border red and the outline white to differentiate the two:
.outline-offset {
width:300px;
height:200px;
background:#333c4b;
border:2px solid red;
outline:2px #fff solid;
outline-offset:-6px;
}
<div class="outline-offset"></div>
If you want to make sure the border is on the inside of your element, you can use
box-sizing:border-box;
this will place the following border on the inside of the element:
border: 10px solid black;
(similar result you'd get using the additonal parameter inset on box-shadow, but instead this one is for the real border and you can still use your shadow for something else.)
Note to another answer above: as soon as you use any inset on box-shadow of a certain element, you are limited to a maximum of 2 box-shadows on that element and would require a wrapper div for further shadowing.
Both solutions should as well get you rid of the undesired 3D effects.
Also note both solutions are stackable (see the example I've added in 2018)
.example-border {
width:100px;
height:100px;
border:40px solid blue;
box-sizing:border-box;
float:left;
}
.example-shadow {
width:100px;
height:100px;
float:left;
margin-left:20px;
box-shadow:0 0 0 40px green inset;
}
.example-combined {
width:100px;
height:100px;
float:left;
margin-left:20px;
border:20px solid orange;
box-sizing:border-box;
box-shadow:0 0 0 20px red inset;
}
<div class="example-border"></div>
<div class="example-shadow"></div>
<div class="example-combined"></div>
I don't know what you are comparing to.
But a super simple way to have a border look inset when compared to other non-bordered items is to add a border: ?px solid transparent; to whatever items do not have a border.
It will make the bordered item look inset.

Simple SCSS solution with pseudo-elements
Live demo: https://codepen.io/vlasterx/pen/xaMgag
// Change border size here
$border-width: 5px;
.element-with-border {
display: flex;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
position: relative;
background-color: #f2f2f2;
box-sizing: border-box;
// Use pseudo-element to create inset border
&:before {
position: absolute;
content: ' ';
display: flex;
border: $border-width solid black;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
border: $border-width solid black;
// Important: We must deduct border size from width and height
width: calc(100% - $border-width);
height: calc(100% - $border-width);
}
}
<div class="element-with-border">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
</div>
You can do this:
.thing {
border: 2px solid transparent;
}
.thing:hover {
border: 2px solid green;
}
If box-sizing is not an option, another way to do this is just to make it a child of the sized element.
Demo
CSS
.box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
display: inline-block;
margin-right: 5px;
}
.border {
border: 1px solid;
display: block;
}
.medium { border-width: 10px; }
.large { border-width: 25px; }
HTML
<div class="box">
<div class="border small">A</div>
</div>
<div class="box">
<div class="border medium">B</div>
</div>
<div class="box">
<div class="border large">C</div>
</div>
I know this is three years old, but thought it might be helpful to someone.
The concept is to use the :after (or :before) selector to position a border within the parent element.
.container{
position:relative; /*Position must be set to something*/
}
.container:after{
position:relative;
top: 0;
content:"";
left:0;
height: 100%; /*Set pixel height and width if not defined in parent element*/
width: 100%;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
-ms-box-sizing:border-box;
box-sizing:border-box;
border:1px solid #000; /*set your border style*/
}
You may use background-clip: border-box;
Example:
.example {
padding: 2em;
border: 10px solid rgba(51,153,0,0.65);
background-clip: border-box;
background-color: yellow;
}
<div class="example">Example with background-clip: border-box;</div>
So I was trying to have a border appear on hover but it moved the entire bottom bar of the main menu which didn't look all that good I fixed it with the following:
#top-menu .menu-item a:hover {
border-bottom:4px solid #ec1c24;
padding-bottom:14px !important;
}
#top-menu .menu-item a {
padding-bottom:18px !important;
}
I hope this will help someone out there.
Simpler + better | img tag | z-index | link image | "alt" attribute
I figured out a method where you do not need to use the image as a background image but use the img HTML tag inside the div, and using z-index of the div as a negative value.
Advantages:
The image can now become a link to a lightbox or to another page
The img:hover style can now change image itself, for example:
black/white to color, low to high opacity, and much more.
Animations of image are possible The image is more accessible because
of the alt tag you can use.
For SEO the alt tag is important for keywords
#borders {
margin: 10px auto;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
position:relative;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 10px rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.5);
}
img {
position:absolute;
top:0;
bottom:0;
left:0;
right: 0;
z-index: -1;
}
<div id="borders">
<img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/RL5UH.png">
</div>
I am having an unexpected 1px margin under a div residing in a fixed container. This issue only occurs in Edge (possibly in IE as well). After some testing, I was able to reproduce the bug with a bare bones example.
This picture, which you can reproduce running the snippet below, is composed of 3 square divs inside a fixed div. Firefox
In Edge, you can "fix" this issue by either disabling the property top: 50% in the container div, or by disabling border-*-right-radius: 6px in the divs inside it. Naturally, this isn't a fix, because I need both these properties to effectively implement this design.
How can I fix this? I tried adding borders the same color as the background, but the background is not opaque.
Edit: If you can't see it right away in IE/Edge, try to select the container div and slowly increase the value of the top property. In IE11, changing it from 5% to 6% already made the problem obvious again.
.box {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.15);
height: 70px;
line-height: 70px;
text-align: center;
border-right: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
.box:hover {
background-color: rgba(50,50,100,0.15);
}
.box:first-child {
border-top-right-radius: 6px;
border-top: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
.box:last-child {
border-bottom-right-radius: 6px;
border-bottom:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
.main {
width: 70px;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 5%;
}
<div class="main">
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
<div class="box"></div>
</div>
Try to use border on parent div: http://jsfiddle.net/gtf0fa8n/1/
Border radius on parent does not brake inner divs rendering in IE
.main {
border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
border-left: 0;
border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.box {
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
height: 70px;
line-height: 70px;
text-align: center;
}
.box:hover {
background-color: rgba(50,50,100,0.15);
}
Just give boxshadow of 1px with same color on bottom.
box-shadow: #2a2e37 0px 1px 0px;
Here is an example. http://jsfiddle.net/52c7t/
Simply: I'm trying to get the div on the right side, to have a border like the div on the left. (I'd want the border to be on the left side of the right div)
I tried a million different combinations and haven't been able to do it. I was trying to avoid making an image and do this with css.
Thanks for your help!

EDIT: UPDATED LINK
The simple solution is to create another div since your blue div is already made up using the border property.
That new div is essentially a clone of the blue div, but will be colored red and made a little larger using the CSS width property. This becomes a pseudo border for the blue div.
Example of new div:
.trapezoid-border{
vertical-align: middle;
position:absolute;
border-bottom: 60px solid red; /* Color Changed will be pseudo-border color */
border-left: 45px solid transparent;
border-top-left-radius:30px;
*border-top-right-radius:15px;
*border-bottom-right-radius:3px;
height: 0;
width: 53px; /* Extra 3 pix when compared to .trapezoid class width */
display: inline-block;
right:1px;
}
jsFiddle DEMO
Frankly, I think you should be using an image for this, but if you really want or have to avoid that, a somewhat dirty (though I think very convincing looking) fix would be to create a fixed sized red <div>, that you position and rotate (using the transform property) just right to achieve the appropriate effect.
.redborder {
background-color:red;
width:3px;
height:70px;
transform:rotate(37deg);
-ms-transform:rotate(37deg);
-moz-transform:rotate(37deg);
-webkit-transform:rotate(37deg);
-o-transform:rotate(37deg);
position:absolute;
right:70px;
top:-10px;
}
