.myclass {
border-top: solid 1px gray;
border-bottom: solid 1px gray;
background: #F2F2F2;
}
Is it possible to group properties that share a common definition, such as border-top and border-bottom in the example above.
Something like:
.myclass {
border-top , border-bottom: solid 1px gray; /* <-- grouped properties */
background: #F2F2F2;
}
TIA,
You can using LESS or SASS (I believe), but if you don't want to use those, you can instead group selectors that will have the same property:
.myclass,
.myOtherClass,
.myAnotherClass,
#anIdForGoodMeasure
{
border-top: solid 1px gray;
border-bottom: solid 1px gray;
background: #F2F2F2;
}
This will apply the style to all the elements.
Unfortunaly border doesnt have a shorthand version (Like say margin/padding for example), it has to be the same for all, or different.
However what you can do - is say you want to style one side uniquely, is specify all of the box, then underneath it, override it with an individual style. Heres a little fiddle of what I mean.

I think I see what you're trying to do here,
This is the only border shorthand I know, without using SASS/LESS.
.myclass {
border-color: red blue green coral;
border-width: 1px 2px 3px 4px;
border-style: solid;
}
This the same shorthand as margins and padding (TOP, RIGHT, BOTTOM, LEFT)

I have this working css but I like to make it into one line, is it possible?
border-radius: 0;
border-color: #ccc;
border-width: 0 0 2px 0;
border-style: none none solid none;
This short article covers the various bits of CSS shorthand you'll encounter in your day to day work.
https://www.w3.org/community/webed/wiki/CSS_shorthand_reference
Border
border allows you to set border width, style and, color.
UPDATE:
As #torazaburo pointed out it actually requires border: 0 none #ccc for it to be correct as well as adding border-radius: 0 as it's not part of the border shorthand.
#example {
border: 0 none #ccc;
border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 0;
}
If it's not an issue that the following could take non-bottom border width and style from other rules in the cascade then this should be fine:
#example {
border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc;
}
Produces the same CSS that you're wanting:
https://jsfiddle.net/betg5xue/5/
If you simply try to do
border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc;
it could possibly take non-bottom border width and style from other rules in the cascade. If that's not an issue, then the above would be fine.
The only reliable way that is identical to what you proposed involves three lines, there's no way around it:
#example {
border: 0 none #ccc;
border-bottom: 2px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 0;
}
Unfortunately, it is necessary to repeat the #ccc in the border-bottom property because if omitted it does not take the value from the cascade; instead it takes currentColor. It is necessary to specify border-radius as a separate property because it is not part of the border shorthand.
I need to know how to make a borders between my items like the following image:
I tried making it using border-right and -left but the last item shouldn't have a border-right.
My CSS:
border-top: 1px solid #000;
border-right: 1px solid #000;
How can I apply border-right to all but the last element on the row?
There is a better way to do it that works in older browsers: http://jsfiddle.net/mxV92/.
You simply apply a border on the left for every item that immediately follows another item:
ul > li + li {
margin-left: 5px;
padding-left: 5px;
border-left: 1px solid #bbb;
}
If I understand correctly, what you want is to have borders on the right of all the items, except the last item.
You can use the 'last-child' selector for that. For example, if your objects were in a 'div' with the class 'foo', your CSS might look like:
div.foo {
border-width: 1px 1px 0 0;
border-color: #000;
border-style: solid;
}
div.foo:last-child { border-width: 1px 0 0 0; }
This says that divs of class 'foo' should have solid black borders, with a width of 1px on top and right ('border-width' is followed by widths in the order top, right, bottom, left), except on the last item, where the width is '1px' only on the top.
':last-child' should be supported by most modern browsers.
add this to your style.css, turn off border-right every 4th books. (this only works on the desktop version of the site.)
.nspArt:nth-child(4n) .gkResponsive img.nspImage {
border-right: none;
}
You can do this:
.books-collection {
border-top: 1px solid #bbb;
border-bottom: 1px solid #bbb;
padding: 5px 0;
}
.books-collection .book:not(:first-child) {
border-left: 1px solid #bbb;
padding: 5px 0;
}
I have styled all my text fields with a gray border, and for the fields with class="form_field_error", I want the border-color to change to red.
I have tried the following code, but I can't get my class to override the previously defined border? What am I missing?
HTML:
<input type="text" name="title" id="title" class="form_field_error">
CSS:
input[type="text"] {
display: block;
height: 15px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #777;
padding: 3px;
border-top: 1px solid #aaa;
border-left: 1px solid #aaa;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.form_field_error {
border: 1px solid #f00;
}
I created a jsFiddle to illustrate the problem.
The input[type="text"] css takes precedence over the .form_field_error css.
Change it to input.form_field_error and the border will work.
Try this:
.form_field_error {
border: 1px solid #f00 !important;
}
I would recommend using:
input[type="text"].form_field_error {
border: 1px solid red;
}
The "!important" rule should only be used as a last resort - nuclear option - because it will surpass all other attempts to target an element based on precise and relevant specificity, reducing the control you have and creating potential roadblocks for future developers. Therefore the proper way, and the best way to handle it is to start with the same selector as the original one you are trying to override, then simply add the one thing that distinguishes it from the original. This way the specificity will be precisely what you want.
Have you tried specifying which div to apply the red border to like this?
input.form_field_error {
border: 1px solid red;
}
And on a side note - the ID you set as 'title' is that just for that one or are you thinking of reusing that?
Because you could also do ->
#title.form_field_error {
border: 1px solid red;
}
I'm having a problem with an box and its associated css outline style. When the box is focused, it should have a blue outline (working). On form validation, if there is a problem, the .error class is added changing the outline and background color red (not working)
On focus I have a style:
input, select {
font-size: 10pt;
border: solid 1px #9598a0;
padding: 2px;
}
input:focus{
background: #EFF5FF;
color: black;
outline: solid 2px #73A6FF;
}
For the error:
input.error:focus, .error {
outline: 2px solid red;
background: rgb(255,240,240);
}
The problem is that the outline without focus is on the outside of the input box while the outline on focus is on the inside of the box so the element jumps as you click on it (CHROME).
Please see this image:
First is on focus, second is no focus with error, third is error with focus. Notice how the no focus causes the border to expand outside the object.
Is there a good way to fix this?
Try setting outline-offset explicitly. Any valid (see Syntax section) value should do, but for moving outline inside the element a negative one can be applied, for example:
JSFiddle
input {
background: #EFF5FF;
outline: solid 2px #73A6FF;
outline-offset: -2px;
}
input.error {
outline: 2px solid red;
background: rgb(255,240,240);
}
Although you are asking about Chrome, be aware that outline-offset property is not supported in IE.
Change every outline to border and give the basic input selector a transparent border (could be grey too for example) for it not to push the second input around et Voilá :) (Updated JSFiddle)
input{
font-size: 10pt;
border: solid 1px #9598a0;
padding: 2px;
border: solid 2px transparent;
}
input:focus{
background: #EFF5FF;
color: black;
border: solid 2px #73A6FF;
}
input.error:focus{
border: 2px solid red;
background: rgb(255,240,240);
}
.error {
border: 2px solid red;
background: rgb(255,240,240);
}
I often find myself into this:
.class {
border-top:1px dashed #0000000;
border-bottom:1px dashed #0000000;
}
Is there a way to one-line that?
I tried this but doenst' work:
.class {
border:1px 0 dashed #0000000;
}
No but you could make it simpler to maintain by using:
.my_class {
border: 1px dashed #000;
border-right: none;
border-left: none;
}
That what you only need to change one line.
You can use properties for every "side" (top, right, bottom, left) for each single border property, in your case:
.class{
border-color: #000;
border-width: 1px 0;
border-style: dashed;
}
Note that you can specify every property for every side, for example:
.class{
border-color: #000 green blue yellow;
border-width: 1px 2px 3px 4px;
border-style: dashed solid dotted solid;
}
Nope, there's no one-liner for that in pure CSS - you can use the border shorthand only for all four sides at once.
