Is there a CSS parent selector?
(33 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I am creating a print stylesheet and would like to hide all figure tags only if that tag contains an iframe, which happen to be embedded YouTube videos. If the figure tag contains anything else (i.e. an img), I want the tag and its contents to still be shown on the printed page.
I know that I could simply apply a class of "video", for example, to my figure tag where appropriate, but I want to see if there is a way to accomplish this via CSS without resorting to adding classes throughout my site. Also, even though I know they exist, I am not looking for a jQuery solution.
Thank you!
You are looking for a parent selector
CSS3 has none, but CSS4 has one that is like selecting using $.

why body color is not working?
and i am seeing this in devtools . the problem is marked on the picture.
i got the solution . just written this as base a{color:red}
This is no bug. The body color is overwritten by something else, as wOxxOm pointed out. You might wanna take a look at this Q&A.
Either you use the !important attribute in your CSS or give the specific part you want colored a more specific selector. The CSS styles priorities decline from specific to general.

I have:
<div id="header"><button id="button1"/></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
Can I change (just in css, not js) the layout so button1 belongs to footer?
If this is not possible are there alternatives? (such as flex order allow dynamically to change the order of elements). My goal is to propose many different themes of an application without to modify the DOM layout (e.g. some people want the button to be in header, other prefer in footer).
Can I change (just in css, not js) the layout so button1 belongs to footer ?
In a word, no.
What you are trying to do is change the actual structure of the page, which is not what CSS is for. CSS is (for the most part) about controlling the visual aspect of a web page, and HTML is for the structure. You could, I suppose, apply CSS styling to make the button appear as though it were a child of #footer (you might set position: relative and give it the appropriate offset so that it appears where it would have appeared if it were), but that’s hardly a reliable solution.
If you find yourself needing to do this, perhaps pure CSS is not really the appropriate solution? Could you offer the themes in the form of styles and scripts (where you could use the script to move the button)? Or perhaps offer HTML templates to be chosen from (e.g. whether the button should be in the header or footer), and then apply the CSS theme on top of that.

I am using timeline.js to add a timeline to my page. Unfortunately the width of an element with class .tl-slide-content is set somewhere I cannot see. As a result, the width is 940px or 448px depending on viewport width. This is causing issues with how the text next to the photo is being displayed.
I have tried selecting the element with every ascendant class available, including any IDs that I could find. Still there is no change and I am unable to figure this out.
What I want to know is this:
what is 'element' in this context?
are there tools in the developer console that enable me to find where width is being set to 940px?
If anyone has any experience with this particular library and could point me in the direction of the appropriate selectors that would be fantastic
I have tried putting my stylesheet after the timeline, I even tried putting it right at the bottom of the body tag. Still no change.
The 'element' selector is displaying all the properties set by the inline styling within the HTML file itself. Inline styles supersede all other styling because of cascading (first to last). Last iteration is displayed.
You can see the word inline to the right of the 'element' box.
If you do not have write access to the HTML file you are working with then you may need to use !important after your width: 100%. This is really a last resort.
My suggestion is to look at their CSS source code:
https://github.com/NUKnightLab/TimelineJS/tree/master/source/less
Overwriting their CSS would just bloat your code.
Duplicate the library(if you intend to use it again) and then use the duplicate to internally mess with their source code to achieve the results you want.
I know I didn't give you a direct answer, but libraries typically have their own conventional styling, etc. without looking at the source you're just guessing...

CSS 3 content selector?
I was wondering, is it possible to select an element based on its content with CSS?
I realize I can use something like this:
.this[href="./foo.php"] {
/* And the styles... */
}
But is there a way to select based on inner content?
So if I have this:
<p>[ Continued ]</p>
How can I select it based on it's content, [ Continued ], if I can?
No, not with CSS, and there really should never be a need too. If you're making a "Continued" button, link, or whatever: specify a class, maybe an ID, or even use an attribute, and select it. There really is no need for a content selector with how many options you already have.
Not to mention, not adding a class or some kind of identification to this link makes it look like regular text within the document, possibly removing some of its semantic meaning. Giving it a separate class makes it stand out. If I give a link the class "button," that makes it stand out from the rest of the links on the page, saying "I'm a button, not just an ordinary link." Selecting based on the content does nothing of the sort; it's just another link.

Not for the built in tooltips with title, no.
You can create tooltip-like constructs of your own, though, by using a div (or anything) that is hidden until the user hovers over your element. See the :hover pseudo-class.
