This seems simple enough but I am trying to override a style class on an image tag.
A user uploads content and images using the CKEditor wysiwyg. The issue is if the user doesn't resize the image before posting and then I try to show their HTML on the page the image is wider than the container.
How can I override it with CSS?
<p class="post-content text-muted break-text mb-none">
<p><img alt="" src="https://example.com/1234.png" style="height:1598px; width:1594px" /></p
</p
I tried this css but couldn't override it.
<style>
.post-content img {
width:400px !important;
}
</style>
Since this is user-generated content, I can't add a class directly to the img otherwise I would, if that makes sense. Thanks
Your HTML has a <p> tag inside a <p> tag so would likely have rendered as two separate paragraphs, and the one containing the image wouldn't have the .post-content class on it.
Aside from that, you might be best of with this CSS, as this will keep the image at 100% width but no larger than its actual size.
.post-content img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto !important;
}
I have a template written by someone else, and they have used an image in the CSS as a backgound image like so.
.block-title__inner:after {
background-image: url('../media/bg/11.jpg');
}
I am using this template in a CMS and need it to change to a simple img tag so I can change the image used in the backend.
So instead of the HTML being
<div class="block-title__inner "></div>
It would change to
<div class="block-title__inner">
<img src="../media/bg/11.jpg"/>
</div>
Ive searched around but either nothing is out there or Im not using the correct terms, eitherway I cant find anything around how to do this so any help would be great.
This answer has been edited due to new found information:
The website in question is: headyherps.azurewebsites.net/available/adult/gregory
Instead of using a background-image CSS property as your theme has done by default, you'd like to place an img tag within the parent instead because you consider that the best way to manage the content.
So, Your HTML looks something like this:
<div class="block-title__inner section-bg section-bg_second">
<img src="../media/bg/11.jpg" alt="" />
<div class="bg-inner">
<!--header elements-->
</div>
</div>
Now in order to get the img to behave in a similar fashion to the background-position property we need to apply some CSS properties to it.
.block-title__inner img{
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: auto;
height: auto;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%; /* optional fail-safe for images that are too short */
}
I think something like this would work with inline styles.
<div style="background-image: url(../media/bg/11.jpg)"></div>
You can also use jQuery:
$(function(){
$('.block-title__inner').css("background", "url(../media/bg/11.jpg) ");
});
Don't forget to include it in your <head>
Another option ist to write a script that changes the parents style by using the src
https://jsfiddle.net/cdmp22ay/2/
If you want to keep the markup the same as:
<div class="block-title__inner"></div>
You can get the img src from the CSS class attached with jQuery and append the div with an image.
var bg = $('.block-title__inner').css('background-image');
bg = bg.replace('url(','').replace(')','');
console.log(bg);
$('.block-title__inner').append('<img id='theImg' src="' + bg + '" />');
I have an iframe that has a an aspx page being loaded into it and I can't figure out the page that is being loaded won't fill in the iFrame.
The page being loaded has a div container, inside the grid is a toolbar and a grid, here is the code for the container
<div id="container" style="width:100%; height:100%; border:1px solid green;">
..Toolbar and Grid is in here
</div>
This is what it looks like when I run it, don't pay any attention at the border colors, those are there for me to make sure that the iFrame is filling the div. The grid and toolbar is bordered with green for a reference.
I remember a long time ago that I was able to pull this of before, that was a very long time ago and I don't remember how I did it. So the question is how do I get the page to fill up the iframe?
Thanks
The default styling of the body element, across browsers, has some padding: this will apply inside an ifame as well.
Thus you need to add some styling:
body, html {
padding 0;
margin: 0;
}
to the CSS of the page inside the iframe.
I have an html img that is being styled by a CSS class. I would like to override the width and height values used in that class under some circumstances.
I'm building this img tag using something called a TagBuilder class, provided by Microsoft for the .Net system, which allows developers to assign attributes to an html element.
In this case a CSS class has been assigned to the img tag, and I can assign width and height attributes individually, but they're not taking precedence over the values set in the CSS class.
My tag looks like this currently:
<img alt="my link" class="static" height="240" id="StaticImage" src="http://imageserver.com/myImage.jpg" width="240">
The static CSS class has width and height values of 300 each, and as you can see I'm trying to override them with 240. It's not working in this instance but can I do it without a second CSS class?
You can add a style attribute to your img:
<img alt="my link" class="static" height="240" id="StaticImage"
src="http://imageserver.com/myImage.jpg" width="240"
style="height:240px;width:240px;">
You can either use inline css
<img alt="my link" style="width:240px; height:240px;" class="static" id="StaticImage" src="http://imageserver.com/myImage.jpg">
OR
in your css, you can define the style with a !important modifier
.static {
width:240px !important;
height:240px !important;
}
That way, regardless of everything, your width, height will always be used.
Try narrowing down your element selection as much as you can. The more specific, the better chances you have to override a declaration. Per example, add the class AND the ID of the element:
#StaticImage.static {
height: 240px;
width: 240px;
}
You can even go crazy and add its attribute:
#StaticImage.static[alt=my link] {
height: 240px;
width: 240px;
}
If it fails, raise its priority:
#StaticImage.static {
height: 240px !important;
width: 240px !important;
}
You can make it even more specific by including its parent element. Can inline css override everything else? Sure, but if you can add inline css, why don't you add another class instead to narrow your selection even more? That way you can control all your css within your file.
Also, check if there's a line of JavaScript forcing the element's size. JavaScript can alter the css value, no matter what it is.
I have a <div> block with some fancy visual content that I don't want to change. I want to make it a clickable link.
I'm looking for something like <div> … </div>, but that is valid XHTML 1.1.
Came here in the hope of finding a better solution that mine, but I don't like any of the ones on offer here. I think some of you have misunderstood the question. The OP wants to make a div full of content behave like a link. One example of this would be facebook ads - if you look, they're actually proper markup.
For me the no-nos are: javascript (shouldn't be needed just for a link, and very bad SEO/accessibility); invalid HTML.
In essence it's this:
Build your panel using normal CSS techniques and valid HTML.
Somewhere in there put a link that you want to be the default link if the user clicks on the panel (you can have other links too).
Inside that link, put an empty span tag (<span></span>, not <span /> - thanks #Campey)
give the panel position:relative
apply the following CSS to the empty span:
{
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left: 0;
z-index: 1;
/* fixes overlap error in IE7/8,
make sure you have an empty gif */
background-image: url('empty.gif');
}
It will now cover the panel, and as it's inside an <A> tag, it's a clickable link
give any other links inside the panel position:relative and a suitable z-index (>1) to bring them in front of the default span link
You can't make the div a link itself, but you can make an <a> tag act as a block, the same behaviour a <div> has.
a {
display: block;
}
You can then set the width and height on it.
This is an ancient question, but I thought I'd answer it since everyone here has some crazy solutions. It's actually very very simple...
An anchor tag works like this -
EVERYTHING IN HERE TURNS INTO A LINK
Sooo...
<div id="thediv" />
Although I'm not sure if this is valid. If that's the reasoning behind spoken solutions, then I apologise...
Requires a little javascript.
But, your div would be clickable.
<div onclick="location.href='http://www.example.com';" style="cursor:pointer;"></div>
This option doesn’t require an empty.gif as in the most upvoted answer:
HTML:
<div class="feature">
</div>
CSS:
div.feature {
position: relative;
}
div.feature a {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
text-decoration: none; /* No underlines on the link */
z-index: 10; /* Places the link above everything else in the div */
background-color: #FFF; /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
opacity: 0; /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
filter: alpha(opacity=1); /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
}
As proposed at http://www.digitalskydesign.com/how-to-make-an-entire-div-a-link-using-css/
This is a "valid" solution to achieving what you want.
<style type="text/css">
.myspan {
display: block;
}
</style>
<span class="myspan">text</span>
But most-likely what you really want is to have an <a> tag displayed as a block level element.
I would not advise using JavaScript to simulate a hyperlink as that defeats the purpose of markup validation, which is ultimately to promote accessibility (publishing well-formed documents following proper semantic rules minimizes the possibility the same document will be interpreted differently by different browsers).
It would be preferable to publish a web page that does not validate, but renders and functions properly on all browsers, including ones with JavaScript disabled. Furthermore, using onclick does not provide the semantic information for a screen reader to determine that the div is functioning as a link.
The cleanest way would be to use jQuery with the data-tags introduced in HTML. With this solution you can create a link on every tag you want. First define the tag (e.g. div) with a data-link tag:
<div data-link="http://www.google.at/">Some content in the div which is arbitrary</div>
Now you can style the div however you want. And you have to create also the style for the "link"-alike behavior:
[data-link] {
cursor: pointer;
}
And at last put this jQuery call to the page:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("[data-link]").click(function() {
window.location.href = $(this).attr("data-link");
return false;
});
});
With this code jQuery applys a click listener to every tag on the page which has a "data-link" attribute and redirects to the URL which is in the data-link attribute.
Not sure if this is valid but it worked for me.
The code :
<div style='position:relative;background-color:#000000;width:600px;height:30px;border:solid;'>
<p style='display:inline;color:#ffffff;float:left;'> Whatever </p>
<a style='position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:100%;height:100%;display:inline;' href ='#'></a>
</div>
To make thepeer's answer work in IE 7 and forward, it needs a few tweaks.
IE will not honour z-index if the element is has no background-color, so the link will not overlap parts of the containig div that has content, only the blank parts. To fix this a background is added with opacity 0.
For some reason IE7 and various compatibility modes completely fail when using the span in a link approach. However if the link itself is given the style it works just fine.
.blockLink
{
position:absolute;
top:0;
left: 0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
z-index: 1;
background-color:#ffffff;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0)";
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
opacity:0;
}
<div style="position:relative">
<some content>
<a href="somepage" class="blockLink" />
<div>
you could also try by wrapping an anchor, then turning its height and width to be the same with its parent. This works for me perfectly.
<div id="css_ID">
</div>
An option that hasn't been mentioned is using flex. By applying flex: 1 to the a tag, it expands to fit the container.
div {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
display: flex;
border: 1px solid;
}
a {
flex: 1;
}
<div>
Link
</div>
This worked for me:
HTML:
<div>
WHATEVER YOU WANT
<a href="YOUR LINK HERE">
<span class="span-link"></span>
</a>
</div>
CSS:
.span-link {
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left: 0;
z-index: 9999;
}
This adds an invisible element (the span), which covers your entire div, and is above your whole div on the z-index, so when someone clicks on that div, the click is essentially intercepted by your invisible "span" layer, which is linked.
Note: If you're already using z-indexes for other elements, just make sure the value of this z-index is higher than anything you want it to rest "on top" of.
why not? use <div></div> works fine in HTML5
This example worked for me:
<div style="position: relative; width:191px; height:83px;">
</div>
This post is Old I know but I just had to fix the same issue because simply writing a normal link tag with the display set to block does not make the whole div clickable in IE. so to fix this issue far simpler than having to use JQuery.
Firstly let us understand why this happens: IE wont make an empty div clickable it only make the text/image within that div/a tag clickable.
Solution: Fill the div with a bakground image and hide it from the viewer.
How?
You ask good questions, now listen up.
add this backround style to the a tag
> "background:url('some_small_image_path')
> -2000px -2000px no-repeat;"
And there you have it the whole div is now clickable. This was the best way for me cause Im using it for my Photo Gallery to let the user clik on one half of the image to move left/right and then place a small image as well just for visual effects. so for me I used the left and right images as background images anyway!
Just have the link in the block and enhance it with jquery. It degrades 100% gracefully for anyone without javascript. Doing this with html isn't really the best solution imho.
For example:
<div id="div_link">
<h2>The Link and Headline</h2>
<p>Some more stuff and maybe another link.</p>
</div>
Then use jquery to make the block clickable (via web designer wall):
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#div_link").click(function(){
window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href"); return false;
});
});
Then all you have to do is add cursor styles to the div
#div_link:hover {cursor: pointer;}
For bonus points only apply these styles if javascript is enabled by adding a 'js_enabled' class to the div, or the body, or whatever.
This is the best way to do it as used on the BBC website and the Guardian:
I found the technique here:
http://codepen.io/IschaGast/pen/Qjxpxo
heres the html
<div class="highlight block-link">
<h2>I am an example header</h2>
<p>This entire box links somewhere, thanks to faux block links. I am some example text with a custom link that sits within the block</p>
</div>
heres the CSS
/**
* Block Link
*
* A Faux block-level link. Used for when you need a block-level link with
* clickable areas within it as directly nesting a tags breaks things.
*/
.block-link {
position: relative;
}
.block-link a {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
.block-link .block-link__overlay-link {
position: static;
&:before {
bottom: 0;
content: "";
left: 0;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 0;
}
&:hover,
&:focus {
&:before {
background: rgba(255,255,0, .2);
}
}
}
<div> … </div>
Actually you need to include the JavaScript code at the moment,
check this tutorial to do so.
but there is a tricky way to achieve this using a CSS code
you must nest an anchor tag inside your div tag and you must apply this property to it,
display:block;
when you've done that,it will make the whole width area clickable (but within the height of the anchor tag),if you want to cover the whole div area you must set the height of the anchor tag exactly to the height of the div tag,for example:
height:60px;
this is gonna make the whole area clickable,then you can apply text-indent:-9999px to anchor tag to achieve the goal.
this is really tricky and simple and it's just created using CSS code.
here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/hbirjand/RG8wW/
This work for me:
<div onclick="location.href='page.html';" style="cursor:pointer;">...</div>
You can give a link to your div by following method:
<div class="boxdiv" onClick="window.location.href='https://www.google.co.in/'">google</div>
<style type="text/css">
.boxdiv {
cursor:pointer;
width:200px;
height:200px;
background-color:#FF0000;
color:#fff;
text-align:center;
font:13px/17px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</style>
You can make surround the element with a href tags or you can use jquery and use
$('').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//DO SOMETHING
});
This is the simplest way.
Say, this is the div block I want to make clickable:
<div class="inner_headL"></div>
So put a href as follows:
<a href="#">
<div class="inner_headL"></div>
</a>
Just consider the div block as a normal html element and enable the usual a href tag.
It works on FF at least.
I pulled in a variable because some values in my link will change depending on what record the user is coming from.
This worked for testing :
<div onclick="location.href='page.html';" style="cursor:pointer;">...</div>
and this works too :
<div onclick="location.href='<%=Webpage%>';" style="cursor:pointer;">...</div>
While I don't recommend doing this under any circumstance, here is some code that makes a DIV into a link (note: this example uses jQuery and certain markup is removed for simplicity):
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("div[href]").click(function () {
window.location = $(this).attr("href");
});
});
</script>
<div href="http://www.google.com">
My Div Link
</div>
If you can use bootstrap, one simple solution is to use bootstrap .stretched-link.
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/utilities/stretched-link/
Sample Code
<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
<img src="..." class="card-img-top" alt="...">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Card with stretched link</h5>
<p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>
Go somewhere
</div>
</div>
Soviut's answer was not sufficient for me. I had to use
a { display: inline-flex; }
to remove baseline artifacts, when using just a img in the a.
Enclosing your div inside an anchor tag <a href></a> works like charm:
<a href="">
<div>anything goes here will turn into a link</div>
</a>
My smarty pants answer:
"Evasive answer to: "How to make block level element a hyperlink and validate in XHTML 1.1"
Just use HTML5 DOCTYPE DTD."
Didn't actually hold true for ie7
onclick="location.href='page.html';"
Works IE7-9, Chrome, Safari, Firefox,
if just everything could be this simple...
#logo {background:url(../global_images/csg-4b15a4b83d966.png) no-repeat top left;background-position:0 -825px;float:left;height:48px;position:relative;width:112px}
#logo a {padding-top:48px; display:block;}
<div id="logo"></div>
just think a little outside the box ;-)
