I started messing with SmartGWT the other day, but ive stumbled in this ridiculous spot..
This is a question that the documentation should respond, but i havent found any simple and straightforward solution.
What i want:
add 5px to the left margin of a Hlayout.
I tried the method setMargin(), but it applies margins to the 4 margins. Since i just want the left one, i was left with the option to use the this.setStyleName(), which leads me to the problem.
How should i go about it? is there a master css file that i have to edit? should i create a custom css file and put there my customizations? where should it be saved?
I tried the solution given here, but it doesnt seem to work for me. am using smartgwt v.2.5
There are no special restrictions with CSS and SmartGWT. You can put an inline <style> in your host .html, link a stylesheet from there, etc.
There is also no need to modify a skin in order to add or customize styles, but if you do want to create a custom skin, see the instructions in the QuickStart Guide, Extending SmartGWT chapter.
Finally you don't need CSS to do this anyway since there is a dedicated Layout.setLayoutLeftMargin() for setting the left margin.

On a blog post on my website, I decided to share some of my code using a GitHub Gist, since I thought it would be an easy way to apply code formatting and syntax highlighting to my code.
I've embedded the Gist in the post, but for some reason my website's CSS has overridden the CSS of the Gist and so I've ended up with code which is all grey and in a serif font. I assumed that since the stylesheet in the Gist is being linked to after my main stylesheet link, it would be fine, but this seems not to be the case.
How can I make it so that my main stylesheet won't modify the styling of the Gist?
Edit: Here is the page where the problem is occurring, the Gist is near the bottom.
Are you using the embed option? There would be one located on the left sidebar the says "embed this gist" which uses different ids from your css stylesheet so it wont conflict.
You can also rename your selectors on your website, the second stylesheet takes priority not the first.
I want a background image on my page (background.png), but some rogue CSS is thwarting me.
I can see that my style.css from line 39 is being overwritten. I would think this is being done by something like style.css. I search and do not find anything but my original desired specification in that file. I can not find out what css is doing the overriding.
I have searched all the css files I can think of for the specified image (bg_p2_28.jpg). I have searched all the css files for background, nothing seems to come up. It is not being specified in the main HTML
I am barely struggling through as a reasonably competent programmer that has not used HTML since the mid 1990's. I am just trying to modify a template I bought.
What techniques can I use, or how do I interpret what I have here shown here to figure out what CSS override is ultimately being pushed into the page?
EDIT:
Adding the !important; works. It feels very dirty for some reason. I do not know why. I have tried following the javascript in, but the debugger is confusing to the uninitiated. Is the Important! a terrible thing to do, or reasonable? I think it would be useful to understand where these are being set in the java code, but when I search the code, I think the values are stored in variable, so can only be caught at run time.
That's coming from the inline style="" attribute.
If you don't see it in the HTML source, it's probably being set by Javascript.
You can right-click the element in the inspector and click Break on Attribute Modifications to find out where.
You could try background: url(src) !important;, not the perfect solution, but i think it will work for you in this case.
The grey element.style means that it's a style attribute directly on the element itself. Any style on an element will override styles from style sheets unless the sytlesheet style is marked with !important
It's the red marked "navigator" I am talking about. I need to move them away so they don't mess up my design. I have tried to change a lot of different settings without no success.
Here is the View for it:
What should I do?
I am using the following themes: Pixture Reloaded 7.x-2.2 and AT Core 7.x-2.2
Modules: Calendar, chaos tools, views, date modules..
It is obvious some mix up in css. It is a large possibility that elements created by calender inherit some css properties.
Easy fix is to view the source code of he page. Using FireBug(for firefox) or some alternative will make it easier to find. You will find some css rules being applied to your menu. Just try to enable and disable some css rules and see what happens.
When you find mischief just write a css function with higher priority which would negate that other global rule.
I got the same problem and i solved just yesterday hacking some css. I share you here what i have done in my case that i think i will help you also or at least work around there.
First to fixing the big buttons of the calendar navigation you should look in your theme css files at some css class called "ul.pager li a" or "ul.pager li span" there must be a property like "display:block" that is causing this buttons see that way. i just commented that property and they look as normal them should be.
In my case the theme css file was "navigation.css" and this property inside that file is found at line 375. Maybe in yours could be similar, anyway you can check and find where is using the firebug extension for firefox inspecting that buttons.
Second for fix the position of this navigation buttons is something similar but in the css file of the calendar module itself, after modifying the core css file of the module i recommend you to override it placing a copy of it in your template css folder and declaring it on the .info file of the template. In my case the file was calendar_multiday.css, in the line 778 and 818 there are the classes ".view .date-nav-wrapper .date-prev" and ".view .date-nav-wrapper .date-next" inside them with the property "right" and "left" i controlled the positions where must be this buttons.
This is the work around on how i solved it, hope this works for you also but if not anyway the problem is close there.
We have had an applet built for us in JSFiddle. It only works though when one ticks the box that says normalized CSS. How do we activate that on our website. I have never heard of it.
Any ideas?
Marvellous
http://doc.jsfiddle.net/basic/introduction.html?highlight=normalized#choose-framework
Next is the Normalized CSS checkbox, selected by default. If selected, the fiddle will be rendered with normalize.css which is removing most of the browser styling of many HTML tags.
You'd want to include the following file in your template/pages.
http://jsfiddle.net/css/normalize.css
I'd recommend copying it and referencing a local copy rather than referencing it on their server though, that's bad form :)
What the normalized CSS is on jsfiddle is a CSS Reset
To add it on your site, copy in paste the following code: CSS Reset
I installed the latest version of Wordpress and added the WP-Syntax plugin (and also the Markdown Extra plugin, but I think it's unrelated to this issue).
It works perfectly with both themes that ship with Wordpress: looking good using WordPress Default 1.6 and looking equally good with the WordPress Classic 1.5 theme.
However it doesn't work with the excellent LightWord theme, which I would like to use. The code box looks strange with the right border at the end of the actual code:
My thoughts:
I have tried investigating this with Firebug without any success. The CSS from the WP-Syntax plugin should be the same in all three theme cases. So the fact that it looks wierd with this theme has to do with some inherited CSS property from the LightWord theme.
This in turn probably means that the WP-Syntax plugin should reset something more for its CSS to work correctly.
Help!
Advanced CSS isn't something I'm good at. But I would very much like to resolve this problem as soon as possible. I'm also curious from a technical view point what could be causing this behavior? I hope someone with good CSS skills will be able to help out!
We (you if you want to, me if you don't feel like it) could then file a bug report in the appropriate place, to get these components working together.
To resolve this I understand you need more than screenshots. I have a link with the problem theme, which could be used to investigate further.

Edit: In response to a comment I'm also including a link to the working web site using the classic theme and the same plugin setup: Link to a working theme with these plugins (Taken down as the problem is solved)
Thank you for reading!
Summary of problems I'd like to solve:
What's the best way to get rid of the right and bottom inner border in the code box? I first noticed the right border, but the bottom border is also an eye sore.
The code box right border isn't visible. It's due to .wp_syntax {width:100%;} and if I set it to 99% it's visible again. Do you consider this to be a problem with the theme or the plugin?
Making changes in the theme (style.css) or the plugin (wp-syntax.css) would be preferred if that's possible, so one of them could be standard. But which one? And how?
The problems you are having are due to the stylesheets of WP-Syntax and LightWord interfering with each other. I don't really think that the problems are with the theme or the plugin, they are just down to how the two interact with each other.
To make all of the required changes, ideally you would edit styles in both wp-syntax.css and style.css. You can however cheat a little.
In style.css add the following:
.wp_syntax { width:auto; }
.wp_syntax table { border:0 !important; }
.wp_syntax table td { border:0 !important; }
These changes should solve all of the problems, with the benefit of keeping all of the changes localised to a single file (style.css of the LightWood theme). The other tables in the example should all remain unchanged as well.
