If text is positioned off display, is there any way to convince browsers to copy text only visible on the screen when user selects text using ctrl-a or select all. In the example that follows, I don't want to copy text for the absolute positioned div.
<html>
<body>
<div style="position:absolute;top:30;left:-300">This should not be copied</div>
<div>Only this should be copied</div>
</body>
</html>
Some more information:
Ideally I am looking for solution for webkit/gtk, but this applies to firefox/chrome as well. Both browsers exhibit same behavior.
I don't control the page getting displayed. Page is displayed in webkit window for automated tool which tries to analyse contents of the page. Part of the algorithm looks at the text available by select all/copy
I have access to full API webkit/gtk exposes.
Why not just do display: none; instead of moving it to the left?
<html>
<body>
<div style="display: none;">This should not be copied</div>
<div>Only this should be copied</div>
</body>
</html>
I see no reason why you need to move it off the screen.
User can always use firebug to copy whatever they want.

I am making a tumblr theme which will have a pretty large image in the background (approx. 2000x1600px). However I need the page's content, the tumblr posts, to load relatively quickly. Which of these options would be faster?
<style>
body {background-image: "background.png"}
</style>
<body>
<div id="content">
/* tumblr posts go here */
</div>
</body>
or
<style>
img {z-index: 0}
</style>
<body>
<div id="content">
/* tumblr posts go here */
</div>
<img src="background.png">
</body>
The two don't really differ from one another.
If you open up Chrome Dev Tools and take a look in the Network Tab, the load times will be the same because the size of the image remains as is.
However, what you can do here, is leverage the power of CSS along with some Javascript. Apply the background image to a class, say .with-background, and then with some jQuery:
$(window).load(function(){
$('body').addClass('with-background');
});
This way, when everything else on the page (including other images, thus the listener on 'window.load') is loaded, apply this class, which will then load up the background image.
As a simple sidenote, if you don't want your body to remain blank while the content loads, what you can do is take that huge image, downscale it, and blur it (in Photoshop or other image editing software). That way "something resembling that image is back there" - all the while being very small in Kb. In turn, when the class is applied, you'll get your full-sized image.
Check out posts with images on medium.com - they do a similar thing. It is a design choice, more than anything else.
Hiall,
could someone please tell me, is the
<div class="container">
class/element some kind of special class for wordpress???
This div is currently wrapping all the content on my site and I am trying to put html code outside of this div, but no matter what I do it won’t let me and it automatically puts everything inside this div.
I’m looking at the file that contains the ending
</body>
</html>
tags for the document and when I try to put code right before the end like
<div class=“myotherrclass”></div>
</body>
</html>
When I load the page in the browser the last tag before , it automatically always puts the closing tag for the container div! eg.
<div class=“myotherrclass”></div>
</div> <!— container class closing div, automatically appears from no where! —>
</body>
</html>
Any help trying to understand what is happening would be great
I started with the Underscores.me starter theme and just deleted the "container" div from both header.php (the opening) and footer.php (the closing). And...nothing bad happened! Will report back if something does, but right now I'm deleting div tags not being used in order to make sense of what's going on. This one's gone!
Here's a description of the problem: for starters, I have a background logo image displaying on the webpage version (screen media) at the top of the page spanning the entire width of the page (basically a masthead).
Then I added a print stylesheet and have been hiding and showing certain parts to optimize the experience for users and their printers .
However, and here's the problem, I noticed that on IE in every page of the print preview the logo image is being added to the top of every page in the print out when the page content is enough for more than one page in the total number of pages. So if there's enough content for 3 pages then in all those three pages the logo image appears at the top every page in the print out, when it should only appear in the 1st one.
I've checked my CSS and I can't find whats going on. I don't have the section that contains the CSS class that defines the background image repeated more than once. This only happens on IE. Not on Chrome nor Firefox.
Here's an excerpt of the HTML:
....
<body>
<div class="repeating-bg-img">
<div class="container">
...
<!-- /.inner content that is long enough for more than one page -->
...
</div><!-- /.container -->
</div><!-- /.repeating-bg-img -->
</body>
</html>
and here's an excerpt of the CSS in the print.css stylesheet with media = print :
.repeating-bg-img {
background: #ffffff url('../img/background-image.png') scroll repeat-x left top;
}
Has anyone encountered this before on IE? If so, do you have a fix for this?
I ran into the same problem today. One solution is a structure like this:
<body>
<div id="background" style="position: relative;">
<img src="bkgnd.png" style="position: absolute; z-index: -1;">
<div class="container" ...>
...
</div>
</div>
</body>
The basic idea is to take the image out of the flow but position it relative to its containing <div>. The z-index pushes it behind other elements. So this can be used as any kind of column header.
One upside to this is that the background image will print even if the "background images" option isn't set in the print dialog. I'd like to see a proper solution as well though.
Edit 2013/07/23:
It looks like the CSS3 property will be box-decoration-break. This isn't going to help with older versions of IE but the spec is available here: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#box-decoration-break
If what you really want is a masthead, I also thought this might work:
#media print {
div#background { background: none; }
#page :first { background: url('bkgnd.png') center no-repeat;
margin: ...; }
}
But it looks like that is CSS3 as well. Chrome loads the image from the server but only honors the 'margin' attribute; Firefox and IE9 seem to ignore all of it.
I have an unusual problem that's driving me crazy! I haven't found a question posted yet that pertains to this exact issue.
I have a page on my site where certain elements render incorrectly on random page loads. Using chrome for example, the page will render normally but after a number of refreshes a basic ul in the header will shift down into the body. Sometimes a carousel won't appear, or a navigation block will slide to the next row. I have duplicated this behavior on Firefox as well.
I can't really give a snippet of code for anyone to look at because I have no idea where the issue is originating from. The page with the issue is the index of www.Calibrus.com.
What's really amazing is that by using Chrome Dev Tools I can set display:none to the incorrect ul, then set display back to normal, and the ul renders where it should again. This suggests to me that the exact same html and css is somehow rendering differently (regardless of any scripts being used).
Also, this isn't an issue with the server. I have the same problem when running the code locally.
Does anyone have any idea whats going on here?
I believe the issue is tied to floats and the slideshow javascript.
Whenever I triggered the layout bug on the live site, it was accompanied by the first slide not rendering correctly. This would cause <div id="r1"> to have a height of 0 which in turn seems to aggravate the afore mentioned float bug. There seems to be some tension between the <ul> which is floated and the <a> which is not.
This is the solution that worked for me:
In index.html add a class (or ID if you prefer) to allow yourself to target the link within the CSS. In this example I have simply given it a class of logo:
<a class="logo" href="index.html">
<img src="images/Calibrus_logo.png" alt="logo" border="0">
</a>
Then, in your CSS:
// target the link using your chosen selector
.logo {
display: block;
float: left;
}
Once I added those rules, I could no longer replicate the rendering bug.
Side note:
I would recommend declaring your character encoding just after the opening <head> tag with <meta charset="utf-8">.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Calibrus</title>
Also, the border attribute for images has become obsolete. So rather than:
<img src="images/Calibrus_logo.png" alt="logo" border="0">
Simply target the <img> with CSS and declare:
.logo img {
border: none;
}
What is the best way to show along with an image a comment form, comments and other image related information with colorbox? Like in facebook's profile photos bar images?
Just opening an image node in colorbox like 'node/196?iframe=true' is much slower than opening an image.
the inline config parameter would be one solution
<style type="text/css">
.hide-colorbox{display:none}
#cboxLoadedContent .hide-colorbox{display:block}
</style>
$(".example8").colorbox({inline:true, href:"#inline_example1"});
<div id="inline_example1" class="hide-colorbox">
<p><strong>This content comes from a hidden element on this page.</strong></p>
</div>
You can either output the required html on page load and then hide with css, or you can create the content based on the page layout.
