We have a left nav that I am trying to tweak just a tad. Please don't critique the validity of the HTML, we have a CMS and external developers that are driving the ship and, frankly it works for now.
What I want to do is apply a style to <DIV>s that are after the <DIV class="nav_selected">, I just want indent them with some padding-left:30px;
Thats it, but everything I have tried applies to the "nav_selected" div as well which is what I dont want. It is kind of a header, and the divs under that are children.
<div class="left_nav_2">
<div class="left_nav_2_container">
<ul class="no_bottom_border">
<div class="nav_selected"><li><h2>Link 1 Selected</h2></li></div>
<div><li>Link 2</li></div>
<div><li>Link 3</li></div>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
You can try creating a class for the first line, then use a negation pseudo class to utilize it.
:not(/*put all the classes in your css document here.*/){ /* put the css you want for it here.*/}
Something like this could work too:
CSS
.no_bottom_border li{
padding-left: 30px;
}
.no_bottom_border .nav_selected li{
padding-left: 0px;
// or just the opposite values of the .no_bottom_border li
}
Is it something like that?
ok you can use this:
ul.no_bottom_border > div:not(:first-child) {
padding-left: 30px;
}
hope it helps
Here it is which you want
Add padding-left to both the divs like
.no_bottom_border li{
padding-left: 30px;
}
.nav_selected li{
padding-left: 0px;
}

I have a really basic list in HTML that looks like this:
<div id="navmenu">
<ul>
<li>photography</li>
<li>•</li>
<li>people</li>
<li>places</li>
<li>things</li>
<li id="lastElement">about</li>
</ul>
</div>
My CSS formatting looks like this:
div#navmenu li {
display: inline;
margin-right: 40px;
}
However, I want the last li element's margin-right be 0px. So I did:
li#lastElement {
margin-right: 0px;
}
When I check on Chrome's dev tools, this last CSS specification is crossed out. I don't understand why it's overridden by the "div#nav menu li" property? Isn't the last li element with its own id more specific?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The one that is overriding it is more specific, it has two tag and an id selector, while your other only has a tag and id selector.
You could change it to div#navmenu li#lastElement or make the other selector less specific.
Hi now used to this
div#navmenu #lastElement {
margin-right: 0px;
}
or this
div#navmenu li:last-child {
margin-right: 0px;
}
Lets say this markup:
<div id="socialMedia">
<a class="Twitter">Twitter</a>
</div>
What i want is only to be visible the first letter of the text (in this case, just a T)
(Actually I won't end up using it but I am curious about this; sure can be helpfull later)
So this was my a attempt:
#socialMedia .Twitter{
display:none;
}
#socialMedia .Twitter:first-letter {
display: block !important;
}
I was able to check that it won't achieve it. Question is why? and is there some work-around this?
-EDIT-
We are looking for IE=+7/8 version capable solutions..
Salut
Try something like this:
.Twitter {
font-size: 0;
}
.Twitter:first-letter {
font-size: 12px;
}
<div class="Twitter">Twitter</div>
Maybe this is not the best solution, but it works.
Edit: Disclaimer: this does not work according to comments. Please don't use as-is without checking it fits your needs.
If you check the specification for the :first-letter pseudo-element, you'll notice the following:
The :first-letter pseudo-element must select the first letter of the first line of a block, if it is not preceded by any other content (such as images or inline tables) on its line.
The important word here is "block."
You are trying to use the pseudo-element on an <a/> tag with class of Twitter. By default, anchor tags are inline elements (not block level elements).
For your given markup, one solution to your problem would be to style the anchor this way:
.Twitter {
display:block;
visibility:hidden;
}
.Twitter:first-letter {
visibility:visible;
}
I'm not sure exactly what you are going for, but that is good enough for experimental purposes. Check out a demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/H7jhF/.
Another way is to use color: transparent
.twitter{
display: block;
color: transparent;
}
.twitter:first-letter{
color: #000;
}
<div id="socialMedia">
<a class="twitter">Twitter</a>
</div>
JSFiddle
However, this won't work for lte IE8.

IE7 IE8 IE9 color:transparent property
color: transparent is not working in Internet Explorer
What you're doing is like hiding a parent element and trying to show one of its children, it won't work because the parent's style overrides it. The parent element also has to be a block level element for it to work. Like a div or p tag, or display: block; on the a tag.
Here's something using color:
HTML
<div id="socialMedia">
<a class="Twitter">Twitter</a>
</div>
CSS
body {
background-color:#FFF;
}
.Twitter{
display: block;
color:#FFF;
}
.Twitter:first-letter {
color:#000;
}
shoot the content off the page and show the letter using dynamic content:
.twitter{
text-indent:-9999px;
display:block;
position:relative;
}
.twitter:before,.twitter::before{
content:"T";
position:absolute;
width:10px;
height:15px;
z-index:100;
text-indent:9999px;
}
at play in this fiddle:

Why not just use JavaScript and split the string into an array and use the first item in the array. Or charAt()
The pure-CSS answers use visibility and color tricks to hide the remaining letters, but they are still present and affecting layout. It could cause layout issues, e.g. if you wish to float the element and put something beside it.
I found a funny way to do this without hidden elements. The trick is to shrink the entire word down to almost nothing and then blow up just the first letter. It's a bit like OP was trying to do, but it works because it's operating on a continuous spectrum rather than display: none which just shuts down anything inside it. (Kind of an analogue > digital situation.)
Demo
HTML:
<div>Ding Dong</div> and other stuff
CSS:
div {
font-size: 0.0000016px;
float: left;
}
div::first-letter {
color: red;
font-size: 10000000em;
}
Result:
Here's what I do:
.Twitter{
display:block;
width:1ch;
overflow:hidden;
white-space: nowrap;
}
I'd like to make use of unordered list for many reasons like using drag n drop jquery plugins and other effects like that.
The issue i'm facing is that <li> behave oddly when putting stuff in it.. What a robust CSS to make <li> tags behave like <div> tags but still keep the vertical ordering style?
Here's one simple way:
ul, li {
display: block;
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
use this
li{
display:block;
}
gl
This seems like it ought to be ridiculously easy, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.
I want to replicate the <li> function so the disc image appears to the left, but applied to a tag
I have this, but it does not show the disc image.
.list {
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
list-style:disc outside none;
display:inline;
}
<p class="list"><em>And Much, Much More!</em></p>
I want to avoid using any graphics to simulate the bullet if at all possible.
Thanks for the help
Answer:
display: list-item;
Display must be set to list-item - not inline, and not list!
.list {
list-style:disc outside none;
display:list-item;
}
<p class="list"><em>And Much, Much More!</em></p>
Well, a p is not a list. Why not use <ul><li>?
[edit]
Let me elaborate.
The problem is that you set this style on a list, while the disc is shown in the list items. A p has no items in that sense, so there's nothing to apply the disc to.
Only add following style
display:list-item;
I'm designing a custom wordpress template for some friends, and want a horizontally justified top menu. All would be fine, except that wp_page_menu outputs the list elements all in one line, which (after a LOT! of head-scratching) appears to break the formatting and removes all space between the elements. For example, the following outputs 1, 2 and 3 spaced out and then 456 all together. (Tested in Safari, Firefox and Chrome, all on mac.)
<style>
.menu {
text-align: justify;
width: 700px;
margin: 10px;
}
.menu * {
display: inline;
}
.menu span {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 0;
}
</style>
<div class="menu">
<ul>
<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
<li>3</li>
<li>4</li><li>5</li><li>6</li>
</ul>
<span></span>
</div>
I've already got a custom function editing the output from wp_page_menu to add the span after the ul, so I guess the easiest thing to do would be to extend that function to put the line breaks in as well, but if anyone's got other ideas, or can tell me why this is happening (especially that!) that would be great.
EDIT:
Have fixed it now by adding a function that inserts a space to the html (code below if anyone's interested for now or if someone comes across this in the future). Seems that was all that was necessary! Would still be interested to hear if anyone can tell me why this is needed.
// Add a space after the </li> in wp_page_menu to allow justification of the menu
function add_break($break) {
return preg_replace('/<\/li>/', '</li> ', $break, -1);
}
add_filter('wp_page_menu','add_break');
To answer your question, that's how xHTML works.
If you have the following:
testtest1
That would show up as
testtest1
And if you have the following:
test test1
That would show up as
test test1
Now, the same logic works for <li> elements, as well as various other selectors such as <img> selectors.
Have you have had a header with three images in a line, but when you tried to do this:
<img src="#" />
<img src="#" />
<img src="#" />
That will insert a space ( ) after each image, whereas having them in line would not.
Your function accomplishes exactly what you wanted. You could've done it using Javascript or CSS as well, but your solution is better. Just in case you are curious, here is how to do it with CSS:
.menu li:before {
content:' ';
}
Hope that helped.
instead of display:inline, try floating your lis left. then maybe:
no:
.menu * {
display: inline;
}
instead
.menu li{
float:left;
padding:0 5px;
list-style:none;
}
I guess i kind of embelished with the other stuff but give it a try!
If I understand it correctly - what you really need is a tabular layout.
Try adding this to the css:
.menu { display: table; }
.menu ul { display:table-row; }
.menu li { display:table-cell; }
You could just ditch the li tag altogether and just make them div's with the same class name.
