How do you get the :before pseudoclass to render properly? Do I need some special CSS to make this work?
This does not work and does not display anything:
http://jsfiddle.net/XzMH6/
HTML
<div id="test"></div>
CSS
#test:before{
width:100px; height:100px; background: #ddd;
display:block;
}
You need the content property.
#test:before{
width:100px; height:100px; background: #ddd;
display:block;
content: "";
}

try this
please add this content:"" in #test class then :before is working properly

Everywhere on web I found that multiple css classes use a space as separator.
So, I'm write the following:
<div class="page hidden">
css
.hidden{
display:none;
}
Using the above code .hidden IS NOT hidden, but visible.
But using:
<div class="page, hidden">
.hidden IS hidden.
Any explanation !?
You were doing everything correct. The only explanation is that you have something else affecting it that you haven't put in your question.
Just to prove it works:
div {
height:300px;
width:300px;
position:relative;
border-radius:150px;
line-height:300px;
text-align:center;
}
div div {
height:150px;
width:150px;
border-radius:75px;
position:absolute;
top:75px;
left:75px;
line-height:150px;
}
.green {
background-color:green;
}
.red {
background-color:red;
color:white;
}
.hidden {
display:none;
}
.visible:hover .hidden {
display:block;
}
<div class="green visible">
<div class="red hidden">
hidden div
</div>
hover here
</div>
the stacking order of your css will effect the styles that are applied. Also the specificity of the tags used will effect what you see from the front end.
so as an example:
/* .hidden is ignored in this example because .page comes after the hidden tag */
.hidden {display:none;}
.page {display: block;}
/* where as this will hold as it's more specific to the page, so will take a higher priority */
body .hidden{display: none;}
/* or this as it's more specific to the exact tags above */
.page.hidden {display: none;}
Just for example:
.page{ display:block}
.hidden{
display:none!important;
}

I am implementing a close button on an element containing text with CSS. The close button is generated content from a pseudo element with content:'X';. I need the cursor to become a pointer on that "X" so I used :
cursor:pointer;
It works fine in Chrome and Firefox but it doesn't seem to work in Internet Explorer (testing on IE11 windows 7).
DEMO (test in IE)
I also tried with cursor:hand; but it doesn't solve the issue. How can I make the cursor a pointer while hovering the "X" but not on the text of the div?
Relevant code :
div{
font-size:2em;
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
}
div::before{
content:'X';
cursor:pointer;
display:block;
text-align:right;
}
<div>some text</div>
--EDIT--
I am aware that making a child or sibling in the markup and applying cursor:pointer; to it will work but I would like to minimize markup and use a pseudo element for the close button as it has no semantic value.
I'm really late to the game, but I just now figured out a solution to this problem.
This solution allows a pointer on the child element, while retaining a default cursor on the parent element.
(See the accepted answer here for a solution that doesn't include keeping the parent element's cursor default: cursor: pointer doesn't work on :after element?)
First of all, for this hacky solution, you have to give up the ability to interact with the parent element using the mouse.
Set the parent element to cursor: pointer.
Then, setting the parent element to pointer-events: none will allow you to "click/hover through" the parent element.
Then, for the pseudo element, just re-enable pointer events with pointer-events: auto.
Voila!
div{
font-size:2em;
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
/* remove ability to interact with parent element */
pointer-events: none;
/* apply pointer cursor to parent element */
cursor:pointer;
/* make it more obvious which is child and which parent for example*/
background: darkred;
}
div::before{
content:'X';
display:block;
text-align:right;
/* restore ability to interact with child element */
pointer-events: auto;
/* make it more obvious which is child and which parent for example*/
width: 30px;
text-align: center;
background: white;
}
<div>some text</div>
I believe that it's not working in pseudo elements in IE,
What I'm use to do is add cursor: ponter to main element.
If you need to add cursor: pointer to pseudo element only, than only way is to add child element
like:
<div><span></span>some text</div>
div{
font-size:2em;
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
}
div > span{
cursor:pointer;
}
div > span::before{
content:'X';
display:block;
text-align:right;
}
But than is no point to using pseudo class...

HTML:
<div>
<div id="closebutton">
X
</div>
some text
</div>
css:

font-size:2em;
position:relative;
display:inline-block;
}
div#closebutton{
cursor:pointer;
display:block;
text-align:right;
}

In order to make IE 7,8,9,10 behave like regular browsers that can deal with pseudo selectors, I always use IE7.js, a JavaScript library to make Microsoft Internet Explorer behave like a standards-compliant browser. It fixes many HTML and CSS issues related to Internet Explorer. An alternative would be modernizr.js which is a good implementation to get pseudo selectors working with IE. I hope, that helps.
The code is exactly the same but it just isnt inline with the box above it.
Thanks in advance.
CSS
#menu {
margin-top:75px;
min-width:19px;
max-width:1920px;
height:40px;
background-color:#0F0;
border:4px groove #F00;
}
#header {
margin-top:50px;
max-width:1920px;
height:70px;
background-color:#000;
border:4px groove #F00;
If those are div or other block elements, you could use the CSS-attribute float.
I think you have part of the answer you are looking for already in your question.
If you have a block-element (or any other non-inline-element) and want it to behave like it is inline you can do so by setting the display-property:
display: inline;
Currently I'm having a solution, but I'm almost certain that there's a better solution out there. Basically I'm having a block-element and want to align some of the text at the beginning of my block and some at the end.
Here's a little jsfiddle example
What I'm doing is using float and 2 more block-elements inside to align it:
<div id="block">
<div id="start">1</div>
-
<div id="end">12</div>
</div>
#block {
text-align:center;
background: #000;
color: white;
width:150px;
}
#start {
float:left;
}
#end {
float:right;
}
I have many of those little objects, so my code is bloated with div's. Is there no more lightweight solution for this out there ?
I fiddled a possible answer based on the answer to this question.

Works in all browsers, as far as I can see...
May be you can use CSS :after & :before pseudo classes like this:
HTML:
<div id="block">
hello
**</div>
CSS:**
#block {
text-align:center;
background: #000;
color: white;
width:150px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#block:before{
content:"1";
float:left;
}
#block:after{
content:"12";
float:right;
}

But is not work in IE7 & below.
How can i override img css for particular image.
Let say ,
i have css in my website like
img{
border:2px solid #ECECEC;
padding:4px;
}
i have one img with in the website say <img id="example" src="../example.png"/>
Now , i don't want to apply img css to this particular image.
How can i do that?
Thank
use the id as a selector and change the css properties you want.
#example{
border:0;
padding: 0;
}
img#example {border:none !important; }
No border for image with example id
If for some reason you can't touch the markup, you could use an attribute selector.
img[src="../example.png"] {
border:0;
padding:0;
}
add a separate class to the image
Example
<img class="example" id="example" src="../example.png"/>
.example{
border:0 !important;
padding: 0 !important;
}
Try this example:
Give it an inline style, mine worked very simply
