I have the following inside a content place holder in my asp .net pages:
<style type="text/css">
#sortable1 { list-style-type: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; zoom: 1; }
#sortable1 li { margin: 3px; padding: 3px; width: 90%; border: 1px solid #000000; background: #000000; color: #FFFFFF; }
#sortable1 li.highlightWorkflow { background: #FFFF00; color: #000000; }
</style>
I would ideally like to swap the #00000's for values held on the page, maybe in hidden fields. Is this possible?
You cannot modify your CSS file directly from asp.net, but you can do this with some creative use with a javascript library, like jQuery.
In theory you would use the following pseudocode
var colorCode = getColorCodeFromHiddenField();
$(field).prop(property, colorCode)
If your taget is to be able to modify the colors as you design, I suggest you take a look att Less Css (http://lesscss.org/). This lets you store a color code in a variable so you only have to change the value once.
If you however, need a way for users to change values, something like #Jan's suggestion is better.
If you want that to be done on the client side, the easy way is to use JQuery or JavaScript as Jan describes above.
If you want to do it on the server side, you can assign an id value to the element that you need to change styles and do something like this:
yourID.Style.Add("color", something);
or
yourID.Attributes.Add("style", "color: yourcolor;");

i need to apply css to a field, but i don't know which elements the user want to change. I have a module where a user can create forms dinamically, creating fields and so on, and they can set styles too. They will write in the box all the stile they want, like : color: red; background-color: black...etc;
I found many questions about but all the answers require everytime to know the property to change, so my question is : Is possible in angular to pass to a field a variable that contain { property: value;...} and apply it dinamically?
Example of text written by user:
{color:red; background-color: white; border: red 2px solid; opacity: 0.3; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%;height: 100%;
}
Example of the input field where i need to apply it:
<input matInput [type]="getInputType()" [formControlName]="field.Name" [readonly]="field.Readonly"
[required]="field.Required" [(ngModel)]="record[field.Name]" (ngModelChange)="onRecordValueChange()">
I've tryed [ngStyle]= variable but ngstyle seems requiring the property and then ou can bind a variable to it, but if i have to map all the possible variables in css it will be a wall of code... Hope someone can help me out with this tricky problem. Thanks in advance.
Update correct in the code
const keypar=b.replace(/['"]+/g, '').split(":")
To allow some like
style="{'color':'red'}"
You can create an object based in the string and use ngStyle
style="{color:red; background-color: white; border: red 2px solid; opacity: 0.3; position: absolute; top: 0;left: 0; width: 100%;height: 100%; }"
styleObj=(this.style.replace("{","").replace("}","")).split(";").reduce((a,b)=>{
const keypar=b.replace(/['"]+/g, '').split(":")
if (keypar.length>1)
a[keypar[0].trim()]=keypar[1].trim();
return a
},{})
<div [ngStyle]="styleObj">Hello</div>
NOTE: I choose use split instead of use a complex Rexepr to conver the string to a json object and use JSON.parse

Under normal circumstances, I would never do this.
I have a CSS file that I am currently collaborating on with another person. I built the file initially, then they have added rules to it after the fact. But, instead of adding rules to selectors that already exist, they have duplicated selectors everywhere. I don't even want to get into how disorganized the file has become. The problem is that the duplicated selectors are spread out all over the file now and it could take some time to sort it out.
Anyway, I am currently in the process of trying to clean up the file. I have tried beautify, css format, etc in my editor (ST3), which cleans up fine but still leaves the duplicate selectors. I have tried various online tools like CSS Lint, ProCSSor, Dirty Markup, CleanCSS and so far none of these tools give me the desired result.
Is there any way that these selectors can be merged by some other means instead of manually?
Here's an example of my situation, just for reference:
I'd like to turn this...
.sameClass {
float: left;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.differentClass {
border: none;
background: black;
padding: 0;
}
.sameClass {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 24px;
display: inline-block;
}
into this...
.sameClass {
float: left;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 24px;
display: inline-block;
}
.differentClass {
border: none;
background: black;
padding: 0;
}
CSSO (Github project) is the tool will help you merge identical CSS classes.
It can be configured to execute some cleaning, compaction and restructuring.
Test in sandbox here : https://css.github.io/csso/csso.html
// Input
.card {box-shadow: none;}
.foo { color: #ff0000; }
.bar { color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1); }
.card {border: 1px solid grey;}
// Output compacted + merged
.bar,.foo{color:red}
.card {box-shadow: none;border: 1px solid grey;}
A simplistic approach would be to sort your CSS file(s) by selector. This can be done by considering each rule as a "paragraph" (meaning you will have to ensure there are empty lines between rules, and nowhere else), and then using your editor's "sort paragraph" feature, if it has one. For instance, emacs has the M-x sort-paragraphs command.
Once multiple rules for the same selector are grouped together, you can manually go in and combine them.
I have just started to explore GWT, and i'm bit confused with different ways of applying styles to GWT widgets.In gwt docs, there are 4 ways by which you can override default style of a widget,
1) Using a tag in the host HTML page.(Deprecated)
2) Using the element in the module XML file.(Deprecated)
3) Using a CssResource contained within a ClientBundle.
4) Using an inline element in a UiBinder template.
Suppose i have a CSS file in some package say, com.abc.xyz.styles.css .And the file has the following contents,
/**the panel itself**/
.gwt-TabLayoutPanel {
border: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
/**the tab bar element**/
.gwt-TabLayoutPanel .gwt-TabLayoutPanelTabs {
background-color: #F4F4F4 !important;
}
/**an individual tab**/
.gwt-TabLayoutPanel .gwt-TabLayoutPanelTab {
background-color: #6F6F6E !important;
}
.gwt-TabLayoutPanel .gwt-TabLayoutPanelTab-selected {
background-color: white !important;
}
/**an element nested in each tab (useful for styling)**/
.gwt-TabLayoutPanel .gwt-TabLayoutPanelTabInner {
font-family: Arial !important;
}
/**applied to all child content widgets**/
.gwt-TabLayoutPanel .gwt-TabLayoutPanelContent {
border: none;
margin: 0px;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 15px;
}
How will i inject this css file ? How can this be done using the 3rd and 4th option of styling mentioned above?.
You can simply add your CSS file to the host page. Then you can use the full power of CSS selectors. This is my preferred method of using CSS in GWT:
What the best strategy to structure CSS in GWT?
I've tried to find the answer, and can't seem to do so, which is leading me to believe that it isn't possible. With my minimal knowledge of how CSS works, I also don't think it would be possible, but I just want to ask before I start working around a problem that may or may not exist.
Basically what I'm trying to do is use a previously defined attribute in a new class in my CSS stylesheet. For instance, say I had a couple of classes that just held background or font colors, like this:
.black { background-color: #000000; color: #000000; }
.white { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #FFFFFF; }
Now if I was defining a new class (or using any selector for that matter), would it be possible to use the value of an attribute from an already existing class? Here is what my idea would look like:
.newClass {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color: .black; /* this would just get the background-color attribute from the .black class definition */
}
background-color: .black; is basically just a placeholder for "get the background-color attribute from the .black class definition". Is that possible using purely CSS? I'm aware of a ton of alternatives with PHP/JS, but I'd like to know if CSS can tackle this by itself. Thanks guys.
SASS is a thing to go. Your code will be like
#mixin black-theme {
.black { background-color: #000000; color: #000000; }
}
.newClass {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
#include black-theme;
}
SASS
PHP compiler for SASS PHPSASS
There are javascript based solutions too like LESS but I generally don't recommend them as if Javascript load slow then presentation becomes jerky.
No, this is not currently possible in CSS. CSS does not have variables or the ability to reference values from previous rules. You would have to look for a CSS preprocessing language that gets processed into plain CSS before going onto the web site.
If you're willing to go the preprocessed way, you can look at SASS or LESS.
Yea possible using SASS or LESS css
#bgcolor : black;
.newClass {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
background-color:#bgcolor;
}
I'm trying to override a particular widget's style using UiBinder. What am I overlooking?
<ui:style>
/*************
* Note #1
*************/
.btnVote {
display: inline-block;
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
background: #fff;
margin: 5px;
text-align: center;
outline: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
/*************
* Note #2
*************/
.btnVote-up-hovering, .btnVote-down-hovering {
background: #ddd;
}
.btnVote-up-disabled, .btnVote-down-disabled {
border-shadow: inset 0 1px 3px #aaa;
}
.lblName {
line-height: 50px;
font-size: 40px;
padding: 5px 10px;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
overflow: auto;
}
.floatLeft {
float: left;
}
</ui:style>
<g:HTMLPanel styleName="{style.clear}">
<g:FlowPanel styleName="{style.floatLeft}">
/*************
* Note #3
*************/
<g:PushButton ui:field="btnVoteUp" stylePrimaryName="{style.btnVote}">
(+)
</g:PushButton>
<g:PushButton ui:field="btnVoteDown" stylePrimaryName="{style.btnVote}">
(-)
</g:PushButton>
</g:FlowPanel>
<g:FlowPanel styleName="{style.floatLeft}">
<g:Label ui:field="lblName" stylePrimaryName="{style.lblName}"/>
</g:FlowPanel>
</g:HTMLPanel>
Note 1: This rule is being applied and works fine
Note 2: This other rules seem to be getting ignored (they don't take effect)
Note 3: The default naming for the widget is being reset, hence Note 1 works fine. The base class is set to GOGXR1SCFI instead of gwt-PushButton
Why aren't they other rules working? When I hover the widget, the class GOGXR1SCFI-up-hovering is indeed set to the widget, but no accompanying CSS.
Thanks for your help.
Update
Something I ran into that gave me a hard time for a while: when you use the #external keyword, you must place a semi-column at the end of the #external statement, as in:
<ui:style>
#external .btnVote;
.btnVote {
...
}
</ui:style>
<g:FlowPanel styleName="{style.btnVote}"/>
One thing you could do is to create your CSS using ClientBundle, define all the different states there, then handle the various states manually. This way you don't need to define classes as #external, and GWT will optimize the CSS for you (shorten the names, only ship what gets used, etc.). This is especially beneficial for custom widgets and such.
The easiest way to deal with this is to write #external .btnVote, .btnVote-up-hovering, .btnVote-down-hovering, .btnVote-up-disabled, .btnVote-down-disabled at the top of your <style> section.
The original GWT widgets do not work well with CSS resources (like the one you have in your UiBinder). They depend on a primary style name that they append things like "up-hovering" to. This is terrible for CSS resources and UiBinders because when you type "up-hovering" it becomes things like SDLFJKS.
The button styles do NOT get obfuscated (so you can read "up-hovering"). Your UiBinder styles DO get obfuscated. You can never make them match as long as obfuscation is going on.
So, the #external keyword tells UiBinder and CssResource not to obfuscate certain styles. Now, when you use {style.btnVote-up-hovering}, that will actually come through to the final HTML, which is where these old-fashioned GWT styles will be applied.
I suspect you have CSS stylenames being obfuscated by GWT in your UIBinder. Reference - garbled css name when styling within UiBinder
Chose the approach you find easier to integrate in your proces. Cheers :)
