I'm using jquerys autocomplete widget but I'm having a few issues trying to style the box that drop down when you search for something.
I'm trying to move the box down a bit and change the border/bg color but some JS is adding in some embedded styles which are overriding my .css styles. But I can't find it.
I'v based mine off this one.
<ul class="ui-autocomplete ui-menu ui-widget-content" role="listbox" aria-activedescendant="ui-active-menuitem" style="z-index: 11; display: block; width: 139px; top: 44px; left: 1101px; "><li class="ui-menu-item" role="menuitem">
In order to avoid using !important you could add your styles with jQuery and override them in that way.
$('ul.ui-autocomplete').css({
color: 'red'
});
Another solution would be to remove the style attribute from the ul.
$('ul.ui-autocomplete').removeAttr('style');
Without seeing your css styles, or the order you are loading the .css files, you could override the styles by using Firebug to inspect which classes are applied, and adding !important; to your main css styles.
Ex.
ul.ui-autocomplete {
color: red !important;
}
The best way you can combat this is to properly track down if your jQuery plugin has any parameters to help you, or strip the JS yourself and add your own CSS styles.
The above !important; rule can be a nightmare, it is a hack in a sense - but it may work for you.
Try to add margin-top and margin-left in your css
Overriding the top and left value is no good, because it is calculated in regard to the text field it derives from.
I'm really not a pro in jquery but I take a look around in the example you sent and the style of the menu is all givent by a menu style sheet (jquery.ui.menu.css). Look at the link below and there is some info that can help you I think.
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Menu#theming
You will be able to customize the look and feel of your dropdown in these class.
«If a deeper level of customization is needed, there are widget-specific classes referenced within the jquery.ui.menu.css stylesheet that can be modified.» From jquery website.
try using position or append to option...
you can refer here...
http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#option-position
Check out the file jquery.ui.theme.css,
the class .ui-widget-content near the top can be used to put a background colour on the autocomplete search results box, borders and positioning can also be tweaked through this class.

I want to change the color of the social icons (on the left side of the screenshot). Since I have no clue how to change it in WordPress, I tried it with CSS. But now I noticed that I have to change the element. style and I don't know how... I tried just changing the color in the element. style and copying into the additional CSS in WordPress, but it doesn't work. On the screenshot, you can see what I mean. Is there a solution to this problem?
This is what I tried:
element.style {
--wpz-social-icons-block-item-color: #FF0000;
--wpz-social-icons-block-item-color-hover: #FF0000;
}
Please try with this following code in wordpress customizer > Additional CSS
.social-icon-link{
--wpz-social-icons-block-item-color: black !important;
--wpz-social-icons-block-item-color-hover:
red !important;
}
I think that what makes color is the element inside a <span class="social-icon socicon socicon-icon-instagram">
But anyway you are trying to change something via style, and if you want to do like this you´ll hace to use something like
style="background-color:#000"
or wathever, color, font-size etc
But in this case I will use a new style, like
.socicon-icon-instagram {color:#000;}
And maybe depends of the template you´ll need to add !important to CSS class to get the color...like this
.socicon-icon-instagram {color:#000!important;}
It is not a good practice but sometimes is necesary

I need to fix the Updates widget to have a top margin so it isn't covered by the header OR I need the widget to load on top of the header, not behind it.
Then I need to hide the 'Submit an idea' link.
I'm still new to CSS and the Submit link uses several classes so I don't know which to set to display none.
Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Without seeing your html and css it's hard to be absolutely positive but I gave the id frill in dev tools a property and value margin-top: 20px and that seems to solve your first question in dev tools. Since you are using bootstrap, in your custom CSS stylesheet you'll probably want to add:
#frill {
margin-top: 20px!important;
}
For the submit link you could give that link a class, like class="hide-link" in your html and then give that class a CSS rule of display: none; like:
.hide-link {
display: none!important;
}
I configured it according to https://help.frill.co/article/75-adding-the-widget
It's not really the right answer because what I was seeking was not done. But I removed the top elements instead.
How do I override the css of a fancybox?
I'm building a website that uses fancybox on two different pages, and I want to override the fancybox css on one of these pages so the arrows are pushed outside of the box.
IE I would like to impart these properties on the fancybox:
.fancybox-prev {
left: -80px !important;
}
.fancybox-next {
right: -80px;
}
I can't figure out how to accomplish this and solutions to other relevant stackoverflow problems don't work. I'm sure there's a simple way to do it.
Can anybody help me out?
$('.fancybox-prev').attr('style', 'left: -80px !important');
$('.fancybox-next').attr('style', 'right: -80px');
You have to remember about hirarchy of the CSS. Inline CSS are the most important ones, external CSS will be read second.
When it comes to the latter, they are read from the top of your CSS file. So writing the style, which you want to use to override a previous one, below, should do the work just fine.
Secondly, you can always use jQuery to do that. ShaggyInjun gave a good example. You should be able to do that by using $(selector).css();.
if using fancybox v1.3.4 check:
http://fancybox.net/faq No.8 .... it also might be useful to check this.
if using fancybox v2.x check :
https://stackoverflow.com/a/8672001/1055987
Basically, you have to set a CSS inline declaration AFTER you have loaded the fancybox css file in order to override those properties.
I'm new to Dojo and CSS, so maybe I'm missing something obvious here.
I have a page with several Dijit buttons that are created programmatically, and I want to make one of them bigger- leave the text alone and increase the space between the text and the edge of the button. I don't want to override the CSS for .dijiButtonNode to do so because there are other Dijit buttons the page that shouldn't be altered.
I tried adding this to the widget declaration:
style: { padding: "1em" }
and this:
class: "PaddedButton"
.PaddedButton
{
padding: 1em;
}
but since Dijit buttons are rendered as nested spans it padded the area around the button instead.
The best way to work with CSS is using one of the browser debugging tools (that you should already be using) like Firebug or the Chrome developer tools. You can find an element's DOM node easily with inspect_element and then directly edit its CSS styles until they do what you want. You can also see what CSS rules are active and what are being ignored or overwritten.
I have come up with a working example here:
http://jsfiddle.net/missingno/FrYdx/2/
The important part is the following CSS selector:
.paddedButton.dijitButton .dijitButtonNode {
padding: 1em;
}
This selects any node with class dijitButtonNode that descends from a node that has both of the paddedButton and dijitButton classes. I couldn't do just a .paddedButton .dijitButtonNode because then the rule would end up being cascaded by a more specific selector.
I am using the jQuery UI library out of the box, based on a theme.
Having links rendered as buttons is great, however I need to override some buttons with different colours.
How do I specify an specific class for a particular button to use?
I recommend looking at the CSS for the jQuery UI buttons and duplicating the structure of the CSS which specifies the buttons, but with your own class instead of the jQuery UI classes. Make the overrides that you need in this CSS and include it after the jQuery UI CSS. CSS uses a combination of the most specific selector and ordering to determine which values to apply. By doing this you will make sure that you have the same specificity for each of the CSS selectors used by jQuery so that your CSS takes precedence based on order.
Smashing Magazine has an article that probably has more information than you care to know about the specificity issue.
You can also:
Use Developer Tools in the browser (Chrome has great ones).
See what class from jQuery UI defines the button color.
Override it in your CSS file with the "!important" attribute.
For example, when I needed to override jQuery UI spinner control and remove the borders, I found the class that defines the borders using Chrome Dev Tools. Then in CSS: I added something like that:
.<jquery-ui-class-that-i-found> { border: 0px !important; }
Works great!
I would say, give the particular button or buttons an id, and:
$("#buttonId").removeClass().addClass("myClass");
If you want to apply it to multiple buttons each with its own id:
$("#buttonId, #anotherButton").removeClass().addClass("myClass");
I think the button API should include a configuration like this where you can change color etc. by passing parameters
$("button").button({background:"FFFFFF",hover:"FFFFF"});
this is just an idea where you can change some of its visual attributes.
I found this worked for me:
$(".btnSave").removeClass("ui-state-default").addClass("SaveButtonStyling");
Basically needed to remove the ui-state-default class and then add my own for the background colour etc.
Thsi meant that the rounded corner class etc stayed put and I was able to amend the background colour etc.
If you simply wish to have some additional/different for particular buttons, simply give the buttons some classes like class="mybuttonclass otherbuttonclass" - multiple classes are allowed. Then, just add css rules for your class(es)
.mybuttonclass
{
background-color: red;
}
.otherbuttonclass
{
color:white;
}
thus the background is red with white text - or whatever combination you wish, which would override items in the cascade (CSS) above it. (assumption is that your .CSS file is linked in AFTER the jquery UI css file, or is in-line on the page, both of which would override the jQuery UI css.
