I've got problem with link styling -
hover and active works, but link doesn't, what am i doing wrong?
How can i fix this problem?
#nav{padding: 5px 230px 10px 230px;}
#nav li{
display: inline-block;
list-style: none;
margin: 5px;
padding: 1px;
font: 20px Century Gothic;
}
a.navlink:link{
color:#06AD00;
background: white;
border-top: 1px #958A7E solid;
border-bottom: 1px #958A7E solid;
cursor:pointer;
}
a.navlink:visited{}
a.navlink:hover {
color: black;
background: white;
border-top: 1px black solid;
border-bottom: 1px black solid;
cursor:pointer;
}
a.navlink:active {
color: red;
background: white;
border:0;
cursor:pointer;
}
You CSS works great on my FireFox.
Make sure you define the HTML tags and attributes properly according to your CSS.
Also, note that you may see the wrong style because your links are already visited. Try to put some URLs that you didn't visit. (ex: sdfdsfdsfsfdhgsdf.com ect...)
I've had this same problem with certain versions of Opera and older IE. I've always avoided the :link pseudo-class in favor of just a natural a style - never quite understood the reason why, but :link was always 50/50 while natural a has never failed.
Try this instead for your :link style:
a.navlink{
...
}
This will only create a default state for your a.navlink elements - the other pseudo-classes will still modify it properly. If it doesn't fix things for you, then my next guess would be you've got a conflicting style somewhere. Hard to know for sure without getting our hands on the rest of the source.
:link only matches unvisited links, per spec. If you want to match all links, you have to do something like a.navlink:link, a.navlink:visited {}

I'm styling a page in chrome and when i test in firefox, the style is a little different from what I intended, so I searched around and hoping for a solution. I found #-moz-document url-prefix(). So I copy the exact same code I have from my main.css into my header:
<style type="text/css/>
#-moz-document url-prefix(){
#nav ul li a.active {
color: #000000;
background-color: #ffffff;
margin-top: 0px;
border-top: 2px solid rgba(38,38,38,0.8);
border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(38,38,38,0.8);
border-right: 2px solid rgba(38,38,38,0.8);} }
</style>
It worked. But I have not change anything. I tried to remove it and let firefox run the styling with main.css, it went back to not working. Anyone have anyidea why. Keep in mind I did not change anything in both my main.css and the #-moz-document url-prefix(). I just simply copy that block of code from my main.css. Does #-moz-document url-prefix() have any special property?
At the moment, I'm building my own Wordpress Theme. Amongst others I have a problem with the widgets... i want them to have a border (CSS) but it wont work. I tried everything, from different paddings to different margins. I mean its just a border... can it really be that hard?!
URL: http://www.biggaa.de
Search for this section in your CSS
#sidebar li {
list-style-type: none;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
text-align: left;
border: 1px #CCC;
background: black;
}
You need to change the line that says
border: 1px #CCC;
to
border: 1px solid #CCC;
Also, change to color to whatever you desire. Your widgets also use the CSS class "widget" so you could try doing this as well:
.widget {
border: 1px solid white;
}
I would recommend using Chrome's Developer Tools, or Firebug for Firefox, and inspect the element of the page (right-click then inspect element). This will allow you to focus in on areas of your website you want to change, without having to dig through all the CSS. Good luck!
i wanted to know if i can change the background color of the of hovering option using css only. I am not bothered about browser compatibility. But give me a solution that works across most browser.
I think the best solution first is to know that you DON'T have to expect that you page look the same in all browser. A good clean solution is use the power of each browser to do this. for example build a css for chrome/safari, another for IE and a last one for Firefox, you can do it as the follow example:
and I think use JAVASCRIPT for this purpose is NOT the best solution.
for web-kit safari/chrome
select{
-webkit-appearance: button;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
-webkit-padding-end: 20px;
-webkit-padding-start: 2px;
-webkit-user-select: none;
background-image: url(../img/forms/arrow_blue.png),
-webkit-linear-gradient(#E1E1E1, #FFF 30%, #FFF);
background-position: center right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
color: #999;
font-size: 90%;
font-family:Comfortaa, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
height:40px;
}
For firefox:
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
select{
border-radius: 5px;
background-image: url(../img/forms/arrow_blue.png),
background-position: center right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #CCC;
color: #999;
font-size: 90%;
font-family:Comfortaa, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 0;
height:auto;
padding:10px;
}
}
And you can target each IE in each version as example
<!-- cause not every body is pretty -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="frontend/css/ie8-and-down.css" />
<![endif]-->
select{ border:1px solid #EEE;
width:auto !important;
height:35px !important;
padding:5px !important;
margin:5px !important;
line-height:1 !important;
}
I thinks in this way you will have nice dropdowns in all browser, while only safari/Chrome will be look exactly as you like, the other ones will behave as the user expect and you will not have to use javascript
Hmmm... you can use the :hover pseudo class to change the background-color of a select element but I just tried:
option:hover {
background-color: #F00;
}
with no result. However:
select:hover option {
background-color: #F00;
}
will change the background color of options when you hover of the select menu but as far as I can tell using option:hover itself won't work
The select tag depends on the OS you're on,
and you can't style it the way you want
the best solution is to use jquery to replace the select with a styled list (editable with css)
take a look:
http://www.filamentgroup.com/lab/jquery_ui_selectmenu_an_aria_accessible_plugin_for_styling_a_html_select/
is this the sort of thing your after?
select:hover { background-color: red; }
I know this is an old question, but since I had tryed to implement this in the past and although I came to the conclusion that is not worth it most of the time, I realize sometimes it really affects the design idea (i'm not a designer but they get very frustrated about details like that), I thought I would share a resource I found that actually suggests ways to work around the fact that it is very difficult (if not impossible) to get a consistent enough look and feel by just applying css to the tag. Hope it helps somebody.
The html select tag styling challenge
I want to style a form in html using CSS. It's a really simple form, so I didn't expect to have any problems with accessing it with CSS selectors. But anyway, when I am trying to add something like:
#maincontent #left_side #comments{
margin: 100px;
}
or
#comments{
margin: 100px;
}
I see no visible effect.
Sorry, I think I am not very descriptive, but not sure how to describe the problem...
Maybe you could take a look at the demo url here:
http://chess-advices.com:8000/article/ololo/
And suggest how to fix my CSS, to pretify the form? (Well I actually just need to access it first)
Thanks in advance
You forgot to close this:
div.pagination span.disabled {
padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
margin-right: 2px;
border: 1px solid #f3f3f3;
color: #ccc;
display:none;
change this to:
div.pagination span.disabled {
padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
margin-right: 2px;
border: 1px solid #f3f3f3;
color: #ccc;
display:none;
}
To find this: Line 267 in your style.css or you can use strg/cmd + f to find it...
But i think, if you add something like this:
form label { width: 100px; display: block; float: left; }
form p { padding: 5px 0px 0px 0px; }
your form would look nicer :)
I hope this is the answer of your question...
There is an error earlier in the css file that causes this. There is no closing bracket on the style div.pagination span.disabled style, that makes the browser skip the rest of the css file.
Note: as an id is unique in a page, you only need #comments to target the element. The only reason to use #maincontent #left_side #comments would be if you need to make it more specific to override some other style, or if you use the style sheet for several pages and there can be other elements with the id comments that you don't want to target.
I am wondering if its possible to remove the default blue and yellow glow when I click on a text input / text area using CSS?
Edit (11 years later): Don't do this unless you're going to provide a fallback to indicate which element is active. Otherwise, this harms accessibility as it essentially removes the indication showing which element in a document has focus. Imagine being a keyboard user and not really knowing what element you can interact with. Let accessibility trump aesthetics here.
textarea, select, input, button { outline: none; }
Although, it's been argued that keeping the glow/outline is actually beneficial for accessibility as it can help users see which Element is currently focused.
You can also use the pseudo-element ':focus' to only target the inputs when the user has them selected.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/JohnnyWalkerDesign/xm3zu0cf/
This effect can occur on non-input elements, too. I've found the following works as a more general solution
:focus {
outline-color: transparent;
outline-style: none;
}
Update: You may not have to use the :focus selector. If you have an element, say <div id="mydiv">stuff</div>, and you were getting the outer glow on this div element, just apply like normal:
#mydiv {
outline-color: transparent;
outline-style: none;
}
On textarea resizing in webkit based browsers:
Setting max-height and max-width on the textarea will not remove the visual resize handle. Try:
resize: none;
(and yes I agree with "try to avoid doing anything which breaks the user's expectation", but sometimes it does make sense, i.e. in the context of a web application)
To customize the look and feel of webkit form elements from scratch:
-webkit-appearance: none;
I experienced this on a div that had a click event and after 20 some searches I found this snippet that saved my day.
-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);
This disables the default button highlighting in webkit mobile browsers
Carl W:
This effect can occur on non-input elements, too. I've found the following works as a more general solution
:focus {

outline-style: none;
}
I’ll explain this:
:focus means it styles the elements that are in focus. So we are styling the elements in focus.
outline-color: transparent; means that the blue glow is transparent.
outline-style: none; does the same thing.
This is the solution for people that do care about accessibility.
Please, don't use outline:none; for disabling the focus outline. You are killing accessibility of the web if you do this. There is a accessible way of doing this.
Check out this article that I've written to explain how to remove the border in an accessible way.
The idea in short is to only show the outline border when we detect a keyboard user. Once a user starts using his mouse we disable the outline. As a result you get the best of the two.
If you want to remove the glow from buttons in Bootstrap (which is not necessarily bad UX in my opinion), you'll need the following code:
.btn:focus, .btn:active:focus, .btn.active:focus{
outline-color: transparent;
outline-style: none;
}
This solution worked for me.
input:focus {
outline: none !important;
box-shadow: none !important;
}
some times it's happens buttons also then use below to remove the outerline
input:hover
input:active,
input:focus,
textarea:active,
textarea:hover,
textarea:focus,
button:focus,
button:active,
button:hover
{
outline:0px !important;
}
<select class="custom-select">
<option>option1</option>
<option>option2</option>
<option>option3</option>
<option>option4</option>
</select>
<style>
.custom-select {
display: inline-block;
border: 2px solid #bbb;
padding: 4px 3px 3px 5px;
margin: 0;
font: inherit;
outline:none; /* remove focus ring from Webkit */
line-height: 1.2;
background: #f8f8f8;
-webkit-appearance:none; /* remove the strong OSX influence from Webkit */
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
-moz-border-radius: 6px;
border-radius: 6px;
}
/* for Webkit's CSS-only solution */
#media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
.custom-select {
padding-right:30px;
}
}
/* Since we removed the default focus styles, we have to add our own */
.custom-select:focus {
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 1px #c00;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 1px #c00;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px 1px #c00;
}
/* Select arrow styling */
.custom-select:after {
content: "▼";
position: absolute;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
font-size: 60%;
line-height: 30px;
padding: 0 7px;
background: #bbb;
color: white;
pointer-events:none;
-webkit-border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;
-moz-border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;
border-radius: 0 6px 6px 0;
}
</style>
I found it helpful to remove the outline on a "sliding door" type of input button, because the outline doesn't cover the right "cap" of the sliding door image making the focus state look a little wonky.
input.slidingdoorbutton:focus { outline: none;}
I just needed to remove this effect from my text input fields, and I couldn't get the other techniques to work quite right, but this is what works for me;
input[type="text"], input[type="text"]:focus{
outline: 0;
border:none;
box-shadow:none;
}
Tested in Firefox and in Chrome.
Sure! You can remove blue border also from all HTML elements using *
*{
outline-color: transparent;
outline-style: none;
}
And
*{
outline: none;
}
