I am doing this on my own personal browser, viewing a pbulic website. as such, I can't change their html. I am using chrome, and stylebot to apply the CSS style. I need a CSS solution to the following:
<tr class="bg_small_yellow">
<td class="row1" valign="middle" align="center" width="20">
<img class="icon_folder" src="/eaforum/images/transp.gif" alt="">
</td>
<td class="row1" width="100%">
<span class="topictitle">
<a href="/eaforum/posts/list/9578017.page" id="topic_link_9578017" title="SimCity Traffic">
SimCity Traffic
</a>
</span>
</td>
How can I apply color: gray; to the <a> link if and only if the <img> is class .icon_folder ?
Here is a jsFiddle page to play with. I want a solution only in the CSS pane. http://jsfiddle.net/hZr9b/
I am looking for something like this, but that actually works:
(td > img.icon_folder) + td a:link { color: gray; }
If the markup cannot be changed, then it is not possible using only CSS because the image and anchor aren't siblings, and there is no parent selector in CSS2/3 to help navigate between these two elements.
If they were siblings, it could be as easy as this:
HTML:
<img class="icon_folder" src="/eaforum/images/transp.gif" alt="">
SimCity Traffic
CSS:
img[class="icon_folder"] + a {
color:grey;
}
But as you mentioned you cannot change the markup in this instance, unfortunately you'll have to use JavaScript.

I have some css overriding my tables but I don't know how to find it. I simply need images in my table to be at the top of the table. I use the code:
<td valign="top"><img src="../../../images/site/orangeBanner.png" alt="" width="259" height="62" class="imagePic"/></td>
But it does not work and produces this image of the orange bar in the middle. It should be at the top at the same height as "INSPIRE".
Here is the link to my full code: FULL CODE
Can anyone see why my valign="top" is not working? Is there anything to override the css?
Your td originally has vertical-align: middle specified inside the CSS. You can override it by using style="vertical-align: top;" inline inside the <td> tag containing your image. This should work perfectly:
<td valign="top" style="vertical-align: top;"><img src="../../../images/site/orangeBanner.png" alt="" width="259" height="62" class="imagePic"/></td>
This CSS rule is overriding it:
table, th, td {
vertical-align: middle;
}
Change it to top or add another class to that specific td tag.
Also you could add style tag to that td as follows:
style="vertical-align: top;"
I have been struggling to find a simple solution to the following problem using the CSS inline styles due to being on a free wordpress.com blog.
a table
inside each table cell there is an three parts
a hyperlink to enclose the two objects below
image - align vertical and horizontally centred in the table cell
text at the bottom of the table cell
<psedo markup>
<td>
<a href="#">
<img style="vertical-align:middle" src="" />
<p style="vertical-align:bottom">Text at the bottom</p>
</a>
but just cant seem to get a consistent result, am I better using <div style="display:block"> instead?
If you can use html5, use a figure:
<td>
<a href="http://gravatar.com">
<figure style="text-align: center;">
<img src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/5a25eba05dc8ac4384384c7a220958a6?s=32&d=identicon&r=PG&f=1"
alt="" width="32" height="32">
<figcaption>gravatar glyph</figcaption>
</figure>
</a>
</td>
The figure element was added precisely for situations like this, though the needed style here is a bit quirky.
HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;">
<a>link</a>
<img style="display: block; margin: 0 auto;" src="http://placebacn.com/400/300">
<p>Bacon... Bacon... Bacon...</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Even if you can't add a CSS file you may be able to add a <style> block before the HTML which would be better than inline styles:
<style>
td {
text-align: center;
}
td img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/xeTPx/2/
Please don't use tables for layout (i.e. non-tabular data - not sure if this is or not), there are other ways to have a similar layout without the bloated markup and accessibility problems. display: flex is often a good option as it now has support in a lot of today's browsers. Sometimes even using other markup with CSS display: table and display: table-cell is another option.
This might be a good read on vertical-align: http://css-tricks.com/what-is-vertical-align/
I would suggest to separate img and text from the same alignment-structure. I think you can manage to center the img but the text ruins this alignment. The trick that I use is position>relative to the parent and position>absolute to the child. Here you go:
<td>
<a href="#" style='**position:relative;**'>
<img style="vertical-align:middle" src="" />
<p style="**position:absolute; bottom:0;**">Text at the bottom</p>
</a>
</td>
By doing this p is not in the same alignment structure anymore.
I hope this solves your problem.
I have a site that generates related video's to a topic. I have 4 thumbnails and I want to add a css play button on the thumbnails, which can be done with this code: ► | It will be like this: http://i47.tinypic.com/250qis9.png
Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/vtPhZ/2/
The problem is that it won't recognize the a:before tags that I gave it to. What am I doing wrong?
The HTML snippet which generates the list:
<div id="youtubeThumbs">
<ul class="ytlist">
<li>
<table cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" rowspan="2">
<a class="clip" style="cursor: pointer;">
<span>
<img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/1q47bOtV3-Y/hqdefault.jpg">
<em></em>
</span>
</a>
</td>
<td valign="top">
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</li>
And the CSS I tried to use (without success):
.ytlist li > a:before {
content: "►";
}
How can I make it work?
I can't explain why but for some reason your change of methods for declaring a child element is causing the problem. Using my first two recommendations of using the unicode entity for the content and using the pseudo element rather than the pseudo class, the CSS should work. However, it did not initially work. When I removed > from the first line the CSS worked.
Here's a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/vtPhZ/4/
Your method was strange but the fact that it didn't work was even more strange...
.features img{...}
I understand .features is custom CSS class and div is HTML element. But I don't understand what kind of relationship this syntax will build between them?
This syntax doesn't build any relationship between the .features class and a div.
The style that you provided is styling any child <img> tag contained within a .features class.
Both of these would be valid and apply the given style to the image:
<div class="features">
<img src="myImg.png" />
</div>
and
<table class="features">
<tr>
<td><img src="myImg.png" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
If you wanted to specify that your class was only applicable to divs, you would need to change the declaration to:
div.features img { }
Have been using a simple CSS only tooltip.
Working Example
css:
.tip
{
position:relative;
}
.tip span.tooltip
{
display:none;
background:#ff5112;
border:1px solid #9C0;
}
.tip:hover span.tooltip
{
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:2em; left:2em; width:15em;
border:1px solid #0cf;
background-color:#cff; color:#000;
text-align: center
}
html:
<span class="tip">
<table><tr>
<td>Working Tip</td><span class="tooltip">Tip</span>
</tr></table>
</span>
Not working example:
html:
<table><tr>
<span class="tip"><td>Not working TIP</td><span class="tooltip">Tip</span></span>
</tr></table>
And a Live example
Your problem is the table element - you cannot have a span that wraps <td>. Get rid of the table and everything will work.
I don't see your tooltip css class, try adding one
table within a span is not allowed, try fixing that
I think that maybe I see your question but since the question is omitted, I'll take a shot. The second example is mal-formatted if you really wanted something to that extent it should be more like:
<span class="tip">
<table>
<tr>
<td>Working Tip</td>
</tr>
</table>
<span class="tooltip">Tip</span>
</span>
If you are going to wrap the entire table the "tip" should be after the table tag.
<span class="tooltip"> needs to go inside of <td class="tip"> for your current CSS to work as expected...
<table><tr>
<td class="tip">
Working Tip
<span class="tooltip">Tip</span>
</td>
</tr></table>
The solution that worked for me:
<table><tr><td>
<a href="blah.php" class="tip">
Blah Blah Text
<span class="tooltip">Blah Blah Tip</span>
</a>
</td></tr></table>
But this looks really bad with css turned off, so the way to go will be using the title attribute and then adding mootools or such libs on the top.
Thank you guys.
