I'm trying to override a CSS class which is used to display an arrow. I want to make the arrow disappear. This class is found in the Liferay theme.
this CSS class:
.v-tabsheet-tabitem-selected:after {
border: 10px solid;
border-bottom-width: 0;
border-color: #333 transparent transparent;
bottom: -6px;
content: '-';
display: block;
height: 0;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -10px;
position: absolute;
text-indent: -9999px;
width: 0;
}
I did:
.v-tabsheet-tabitem-selected:after{
content: none;
}
It does not seem to work, is there any other way?
It looks like the arrow is being drawn with CSS borders, so try overriding it with this:
.v-tabsheet-tabitem-selected:after {border: none;}
For the CSS you have provided, your cursor position should not be relevant. That means you either have a :hover selector applying elsewhere or JavaScript that applies based on mouse events.

How do I change the presentation of the "title" attribute in the browser?. By default, it just has yellow background and small font. I would like to make it bigger and change the background color.
Is there a CSS way to style the title attribute?
It seems that there is in fact a pure CSS solution, requiring only the css attr expression, generated content and attribute selectors (which suggests that it works as far back as IE8):
https://jsfiddle.net/z42r2vv0/2/
a {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
margin-top: 20px;
}
a[title]:hover::after {
content: attr(title);
position: absolute;
top: -100%;
left: 0;
}
<a href="http://www.google.com/" title="Hello world!">
Hover over me
</a>
update w/ input from #ViROscar: please note that it's not necessary to use any specific attribute, although I've used the "title" attribute in the example above; actually my recommendation would be to use the "alt" attribute, as there is some chance that the content will be accessible to users unable to benefit from CSS.
update again I'm not changing the code because the "title" attribute has basically come to mean the "tooltip" attribute, and it's probably not a good idea to hide important text inside a field only accessible on hover, but if you're interested in making this text accessible the "aria-label" attribute seems like the best place for it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_aria-label_attribute
You can't style an actual title attribute
How the text in the title attribute is displayed is defined by the browser and varies from browser to browser. It's not possible for a webpage to apply any style to the tooltip that the browser displays based on the title attribute.
However, you can create something very similar using other attributes.
You can make a pseudo-tooltip with CSS and a custom attribute (e.g. data-title)
For this, I'd use a data-title attribute. data-* attributes are a method to store custom data in DOM elements/HTML. There are multiple ways of accessing them. Importantly, they can be selected by CSS.
Given that you can use CSS to select elements with data-title attributes, you can then use CSS to create :after (or :before) content that contains the value of the attribute using attr().

Known issues
Unlike a real title tooltip, the tooltip produced by the above CSS is not, necessarily, guaranteed to be visible on the page (i.e. it might be outside the visible area). On the other hand, it is guaranteed to be within the current window, which is not the case for an actual tooltip.
In addition, the pseudo-tooltip is positioned relative to the element that has the pseudo-tooltip rather than relative to where the mouse is on that element. You may want to fine-tune where the pseudo-tooltip is displayed. Having it appear in a known location relative to the element can be a benefit or a drawback, depending on the situation.
You can't use :before or :after on elements which are not containers
There's a good explanation in this answer to "Can I use a :before or :after pseudo-element on an input field?"
Effectively, this means that you can't use this method directly on elements like <input type="text"/>, <textarea/>, <img>, etc. The easy solution is to wrap the element that's not a container in a <span> or <div> and have the pseudo-tooltip on the container.
Examples of using a pseudo-tooltip on a <span> wrapping a non-container element:
[data-title]:hover:after {
opacity: 1;
transition: all 0.1s ease 0.5s;
visibility: visible;
}
[data-title]:after {
content: attr(data-title);
background-color: #00FF00;
color: #111;
font-size: 150%;
position: absolute;
padding: 1px 5px 2px 5px;
bottom: -1.6em;
left: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px #222222;
opacity: 0;
border: 1px solid #111111;
z-index: 99999;
visibility: hidden;
}
[data-title] {
position: relative;
}
.pseudo-tooltip-wrapper {
/*This causes the wrapping element to be the same size as what it contains.*/
display: inline-block;
}
Text input with a pseudo-tooltip:<br/>
<span class="pseudo-tooltip-wrapper" data-title="input type="text""><input type='text'></span><br/><br/><br/>
Textarea with a pseudo-tooltip:<br/>
<span class="pseudo-tooltip-wrapper" data-title="this is a textarea"><textarea data-title="this is a textarea"></textarea></span><br/>
From the code on the blog post linked above (which I first saw in an answer here that plagiarized it), it appeared obvious to me to use a data-* attribute instead of the title attribute. Doing so was also suggested in a comment by snostorm on that (now deleted) answer.
Here is an example of how to do it:
a.tip {
border-bottom: 1px dashed;
text-decoration: none
}
a.tip:hover {
cursor: help;
position: relative
}
a.tip span {
display: none
}
a.tip:hover span {
border: #c0c0c0 1px dotted;
padding: 5px 20px 5px 5px;
display: block;
z-index: 100;
background: url(../images/status-info.png) #f0f0f0 no-repeat 100% 5%;
left: 0px;
margin: 10px;
width: 250px;
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
text-decoration: none
}
Link<span>This is the CSS tooltip showing up when you mouse over the link</span>
CSS can't change the tooltip appearance. It is browser/OS-dependent. If you want something different you'll have to use Javascript to generate markup when you hover over the element instead of the default tooltip.
I have found the answer here: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2012/11/how-to-create-a-simple-css3-tooltip/
my own code goes like this, I have changed the attribute name, if you maintain the title name for the attribute you end up having two popups for the same text, another change is that my text on hovering displays underneath the exposed text.
.tags {
display: inline;
position: relative;
}
.tags:hover:after {
background: #333;
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, .8);
border-radius: 5px;
bottom: -34px;
color: #fff;
content: attr(data-gloss);
left: 20%;
padding: 5px 15px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 98;
width: 350px;
}
.tags:hover:before {
border: solid;
border-color: #333 transparent;
border-width: 0 6px 6px 6px;
bottom: -4px;
content: "";
left: 50%;
position: absolute;
z-index: 99;
}
<a class="tags" data-gloss="Text shown on hovering">Exposed text</a>
I thought i'd post my 20 lines JavaScript solution here. It is not perfect, but may be useful for some depending on what you need from your tooltips.
When to use it
Automatically styles the tooltip for all HTML elements with a TITLE attribute defined (this includes elements dynamically added to the document in the future)
No Javascript/HTML changes or hacks required for every tooltip (just the TITLE attribute, semantically clear)
Very light (adds about 300 bytes gzipped and minified)
You want only a very basic styleable tooltip
When NOT to use
Requires jQuery, so do not use if you don't use jQuery
Bad support for nested elements that both have tooltips
You need more than one tooltip on the screen at the same time
You need the tooltip to disappear after some time
The code
// Use a closure to keep vars out of global scope
(function () {
var ID = "tooltip", CLS_ON = "tooltip_ON", FOLLOW = true,
DATA = "_tooltip", OFFSET_X = 20, OFFSET_Y = 10,
showAt = function (e) {
var ntop = e.pageY + OFFSET_Y, nleft = e.pageX + OFFSET_X;
$("#" + ID).html($(e.target).data(DATA)).css({
position: "absolute", top: ntop, left: nleft
}).show();
};
$(document).on("mouseenter", "*[title]", function (e) {
$(this).data(DATA, $(this).attr("title"));
$(this).removeAttr("title").addClass(CLS_ON);
$("<div id='" + ID + "' />").appendTo("body");
showAt(e);
});
$(document).on("mouseleave", "." + CLS_ON, function (e) {
$(this).attr("title", $(this).data(DATA)).removeClass(CLS_ON);
$("#" + ID).remove();
});
if (FOLLOW) { $(document).on("mousemove", "." + CLS_ON, showAt); }
}());
Paste it anywhere, it should work even when you run this code before the DOM is ready (it just won't show your tooltips until DOM is ready).
Customize
You can change the var declarations on the second line to customize it a bit.
var ID = "tooltip"; // The ID of the styleable tooltip
var CLS_ON = "tooltip_ON"; // Does not matter, make it somewhat unique
var FOLLOW = true; // TRUE to enable mouse following, FALSE to have static tooltips
var DATA = "_tooltip"; // Does not matter, make it somewhat unique
var OFFSET_X = 20, OFFSET_Y = 10; // Tooltip's distance to the cursor
Style
You can now style your tooltips using the following CSS:
#tooltip {
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid red;
padding: 3px 10px;
}
A jsfiddle for custom tooltip pattern is Here
It is based on CSS Positioning and pseduo class selectors
Check MDN docs for cross-browser support of pseudo classes
<!-- HTML -->
<p>
<a href="http://www.google.com/" class="tooltip">
I am a
<span> (This website rocks) </span></a> a developer.
</p>
/*CSS*/
a.tooltip {
position: relative;
}
a.tooltip span {
display: none;
}
a.tooltip:hover span, a.tooltip:focus span {
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:1em;
left:1.5em;
padding: 0.2em 0.6em;
border:1px solid #996633;
background-color:#FFFF66;
color:#000;
}
Native tooltip cannot be styled.
That being said, you can use some library that would show styles floating layers when element is being hovered (instead of the native tooltips, and suppress them) requiring little or no code modifications...
You cannot style the default browser tooltip. But you can use javascript to create your own custom HTML tooltips.
a[title="My site"] {
color: red;
}
This also works with any attribute you want to add for instance:
HTML
<div class="my_class" anything="whatever">My Stuff</div>
CSS
.my_class[anything="whatever"] {
color: red;
}

How can I remove the arrow appear in frone of tags input as shown in image
demo here: https://colorlib.com/polygon/gentelella/form.html
I see that on other page here, that the Daily active users '.tag' has the arrow that's been bothering you.
I suggest that you extend the .tag class and add the pseudo code for the arrow
ul{
&.timeline{
li{
.tag{
#extend .tag;
&:after{
/* add code for arrow here */
}
}
}
}
}
or
simply hide the tag by selecting a specific parent like this:
.tagsinput .tag:after {
display: none;
}
By using the inspector / developer console on your browser you can see that the arrow is generated by:
.tag:after {
content: " ";
height: 30px;
width: 0;
position: absolute;
left: 100%;
top: 0;
margin: 0;
pointer-events: none;
border-top: 14px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 14px solid transparent;
border-left: 11px solid #1ABB9C
}
Inspector claims this is part of custom.min.css beginning at line 2,922.
This arrow was probably supposed to appear directly adjacent to the actual tag, but it looks like position:relative is missing from key elements as well as other aspects of .tag being re-defined throughout the CSS.
I know there are ways to draw borders around the entire legend in Highcharts. How to draw a border around each legend item in Highcharts 5.0?
This seems trickier than I first thought. One thing that I think is a potential solution is adding useHTML: true to the legend and then styling using CSS and Pseudo-elements.
With useHTML you could then style it using CSS like this:
.highcharts-legend-item {
padding: 1em;
}
.highcharts-legend-item > span {
position: relative;
overflow: visible!important;
}
.highcharts-legend-item > span:after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
width: 110%;
border: 2px solid #ddd;
padding: 1em 1em 0.5em;
top: -2px;
left: -25px;
border-radius: 10px;
}
Please see this JS Fiddle for an example.
I'm sure you'll need to adjust the styling but it should be a start.
Hope this helps.
Yes. Highcharts has a piece of documentation titled Style by CSS which details how to do this.
By the look if it, you'll want to do something like:
.highcharts-legend-item {
border: 1px solid tomato;
}
<a id="nextslide" class="load-item"></a>
#nextslide:after {
position: absolute;
left: 100%;
bottom: 0;
width: 0;
height: 0;
content: '';
border-bottom: 36px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
border-right: 36px solid transparent;
}
If I press the #nextslide:after shape, it will load the next slide. I would like to disable link function for the above shape, I want it to work only when I press the #nextslide not psuedo. Is there any simple CSS method for this ?
Theres is just one possibility with CSS you can add this :
#nextslide:after {
pointer-events: none;
}
The big problem is compatibility http://caniuse.com/pointer-events

Paste it anywhere, it should work even when you run this code before the DOM is ready (it just won't show your tooltips until DOM is ready).
Customize
You can change the var declarations on the second line to customize it a bit.
var ID = "tooltip"; // The ID of the styleable tooltip
var CLS_ON = "tooltip_ON"; // Does not matter, make it somewhat unique
var FOLLOW = true; // TRUE to enable mouse following, FALSE to have static tooltips
var DATA = "_tooltip"; // Does not matter, make it somewhat unique
var OFFSET_X = 20, OFFSET_Y = 10; // Tooltip's distance to the cursor
Style
You can now style your tooltips using the following CSS:
#tooltip {
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid red;
padding: 3px 10px;
}
A jsfiddle for custom tooltip pattern is Here
It is based on CSS Positioning and pseduo class selectors
Check MDN docs for cross-browser support of pseudo classes
<!-- HTML -->
<p>
<a href="http://www.google.com/" class="tooltip">
I am a
<span> (This website rocks) </span></a> a developer.
</p>
/*CSS*/
a.tooltip {
position: relative;
}
a.tooltip span {
display: none;
}
a.tooltip:hover span, a.tooltip:focus span {
display:block;
position:absolute;
top:1em;
left:1.5em;
padding: 0.2em 0.6em;
border:1px solid #996633;
background-color:#FFFF66;
color:#000;
}
Native tooltip cannot be styled.
That being said, you can use some library that would show styles floating layers when element is being hovered (instead of the native tooltips, and suppress them) requiring little or no code modifications...
You cannot style the default browser tooltip. But you can use javascript to create your own custom HTML tooltips.
a[title="My site"] {
color: red;
}
This also works with any attribute you want to add for instance:
HTML
<div class="my_class" anything="whatever">My Stuff</div>
CSS
.my_class[anything="whatever"] {
color: red;
}
