I have a Ecommerce Host that does not allow access to the Header Tag or the External .CSS file.
I have to override using inline styles.
Problem is, I have to override Pseudo Class :active
Is there way to link an external style sheet from within an inline style so that I can style the pseudo classes?
Any simple alternatives? Without access?
You don't need to put your <link rel="stylesheet" href="blah-blah.css"> tag into head to make it work, but it's a bad practice, because it works slower and looks a bit bad, but I understand your situation :) Just put <link> at the end of the <body> and it'll work fine! For example:
File styles.css
p {
color: blue;
}
File index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Evil host holders didn't allow access this tag. Well, okay :D -->
</head>
<body>
<p>I am blue, da ba dee da ba dai!</p>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"/>
</body>
</html>
I know to use media queries and anchor pseudo classes I need to place them in the head of an email rather than inlining the styles (impossible).
Does it make any difference with the plethora of email clients out there is the styles are written in the head like so:
<style>
body {
....
}
</style>
Or linked like so:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://example.com/mystyle.css">
Do not rely on external (<link rel="stylesheet">) or embedded style sheets (those contained within the <style> tag outside the <body> tag), these are the most important thing to avoid. **
Many email services cut everything above the body tag and disable
external style sheets.
It's best to use <style> tag inside <body>
<body>
<style type="text/css">
body {
....
}
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
....
}
</style>
</body>

Best is for style to be written in the document and not linked. Linked resources are blocked by webmail clients like Outlook.com, Yahoo and Gmail

So I'm going through web design more in detail and by all means the text in my page should be size 20. I don't want to use html tags or javascript to make the text size 20. I want to use css. For some reason my index.html file
http://obesechickenapps.com/myhomepage/
<html>
<head>
<link type="stylesheet" rel="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" />
<!--<style>
p{ font : 20pt Arial,geneva,helvetica;}
</style>-->
</head>
<body>
<p>left</p>
<p>middle</p>
<p>right</p>
</body>
</html>
does not pick up on the css styling in
http://obesechickenapps.com/myhomepage/stylesheet.css
p{ font : 20pt Arial,geneva,helvetica;}
a{ font : 20pt Arial,geneva,helvetica;}
When I put the styling in inline style tags then everything works. I'm so confused...
My text does show up as 20pt font Arial.
Why does the css for this page work:
http://obesechickenapps.com/3ColumnsExample/sample3ColumnsPageCss.html
but the first link I used did not?
TL;DR help with linking css stylesheets and html please.
Fixed:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="stylesheet.css" />
HTML and CSS are real funny when it comes to the <link> property, if even one thing is wrong, the stylesheet won't load at all.
How do I stop the flash of unstyled content (FOUC) on a web page?
The problem with using a css style to initially hide some page elements, and then using javascript to change the style back to visible after page load, is that people who don't have javascript enabled will never get to see those elements. So it's a solution which does not degrade gracefully.
A better way therefore, is to use javascript to both initially hide as well as redisplay those elements after page load. Using jQuery, we might be tempted to do something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('body').hide();
$(window).on('load', function() {
$('body').show();
});
});
However, if your page is very big with a lot of elements, then this code won't be applied soon enough (the document body won't be ready soon enough) and you might still see a FOUC. However, there is one element that we CAN hide as soon as script is encountered in the head, even before the document is ready: the HTML tag. So we could do something like this:
<html>
<head>
<!-- Other stuff like title and meta tags go here -->
<style type="text/css">
.hidden {display:none;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('html').addClass('hidden');
$(document).ready(function() { // EDIT: From Adam Zerner's comment below: Rather use load: $(window).on('load', function () {...});
$('html').show(); // EDIT: Can also use $('html').removeClass('hidden');
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Body Content -->
</body>
</html>
Note that the jQuery addClass() method is called *outside* of the .ready() (or better, .on('load')) method.
This is the one that has worked for me and does not require javascript and it works great for pages with many elements and lots of css:
First, add a dedicated <STYLE> setting for the <HTML> tag with visibility 'hidden' and opacity as '0' at the top of your HTML, e.g, in the beginning of the <HEAD> element, for example, at the top of your HTML add:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style>html{visibility: hidden;opacity:0;}</style>
Then, at the end of your last .css stylesheet file, set the visibility and opacity styles to 'visible' and '1', respectively:
html {
visibility: visible;
opacity: 1;
}
If you already have an existing style block for the 'html' tag, then move the entire 'html' style to the end of the last .css file and add the 'visibility' and 'opacity' tags as described above.

A CSS-only solution:
<html>
<head>
<style>
html {
display: none;
}
</style>
...
</head>
<body>
...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="app.css"> <!-- should set html { display: block; } -->
</body>
</html>
As the browser parses through the HTML file:
The first thing it will do is hide <html>.
The last thing it will do is load the styles, and then display all the content with styling applied.
The advantage to this over a solution that uses JavaScript is that it will work for users even if they have JavaScript disabled.
Note: you are allowed to put <link> inside of <body>. I do see it as a downside though, because it violates common practice. It would be nice if there was a defer attribute for <link> like there is for <script>, because that would allow us to put it in the <head> and still accomplish our goal.
A solution which doesn't depend on jQuery, which will work on all current browsers and do nothing on old browsers, include the following in your head tag:
<head>
...
<style type="text/css">
.fouc-fix { display:none; }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
try {
var elm=document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0];
var old=elm.class || "";
elm.class=old+" fouc-fix";
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",function(event) {
elm.class=old;
});
}
catch(thr) {
}
</script>
</head>
Thanks to #justastudent, I tried just setting elm.style.display="none"; and it appears to work as desired, at least in current Firefox Quantum. So here is a more compact solution, being, so far, the simplest thing I've found that works.
<script type="text/javascript">
var elm=document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0];
elm.style.display="none";
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded",function(event) { elm.style.display="block"; });
</script>
An other quick fix which also works in Firefox Quantum is an empty <script> tag in the <head>. This however, penalizes your pagespeed insights and overall load time.
I had 100% success with it. I think it's also the main reason, why above solutions with other JS in the works.
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
None of the CSS-only solutions presented here work with modern browsers (asynchronous loading of css and fonts). You have to use Javascript. What I've done to avoid FOUC is:
<html>
<body onload="document.body.style.visibility=`visible`;">
<script>document.body.style.visibility=`hidden`;</script>
With this approach the body of my web page is kept hidden until the full page and CSS files are loaded. Once everything is loaded, the onload event turns the body visible. So, the web browser remains empty until a point when everything pops up on the screen.
It is a simple solution but so far it is working.
This will not affect users who have disabled Javascript because the <script> tag is ignored.
No one has talked about CSS #import
That was the problem for me i was loading two extra style sheets directly in my css file with #import
Simple solution: Replace all #import links with <link />
Every answer on this page slows down the load and it only hides the underlying issue. If you're experiencing FOUC, find out WHY it's happening and fix that.
At the core, this is happening:
because your stylesheets are not being loaded correctly: they should be loaded via link tag in the HTML, not via JavaScript
because you placed script tags before link tags, which may force a "layout operation" and trick the browser into rendering before it even attempts to load the style.
For reference, here's an example of FOUC:
I came up with a way that requires no real code change whatsoever, woohoo! My issue was related to importing several css files AFTER some javascript files.
To resolve the issue I just moved my CSS links so that they would be above my javascript imports. This allowed all my CSS to be imported and ready to go ASAP, so that when the HTML appears on the screen, even if the JS isn't ready, the page will be properly formatted
Here is my code .. hope it solve your problem
set <body style="opacity:0;">
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("body").css('opacity', 1);
});
</script>
A simple solution to avoid a flash of unstyled content without javascript:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Bla bla</title>
<link href="..." rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="..." rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body style="opacity: 0">
<!-- All HTML content here -->
<script src="..."></script>
<script src="..."></script>
<style>
body {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
</style>
</body>
</html>
When the parser arrives at the body, it is faded out using "opacity: 0". When the parser finally arrives at the very bottom after everything else is parsed, the body is faded in again using an in-page style. The !important keyword there is important ;-), because it overrules the previous inline style of the body tag.
In this case, using "opacity: 0" to fade out is better than "display: none", because if you have layout operations done by javascript, they may not work when the affected element is not rendered.
That worked for me.
The best solution I found till now is like this:
Add all styles of your header to a <style/> tag in <head/>
at the top of style tag add .not-visible-first{visibility: hidden} + other header style
Add css via JS at the end of body
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].insertAdjacentHTML("beforeend","<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"/css/main.min.css?v=1.2.4338\" />");
And remember to add .not-visible-first{visibility: visible} to the end of main.min.css
This option will create better user experience
You could try this with vanilla
function js_method(){
//todos
var elementDiv = document.getElementById("main");
elementDiv.style.display ="block";
}
<body onload="js_method()" id="main" style="display:none">
//todos
<h2>Hello</h2>
</body>
In ASP.NET MVC, there are these snippets of html called view templates which appear when their matching data appears on the screen. For example, if you have a customer order and it has a vendor address, the vendor address view template shows up populated with data.
Unfortunately, these don't have access to "MasterPages" nor are aware of their CSS surroundings.
Instead of loading these up with style tags, is there any way to create partial CSS files that could work for that particular html snippet, a sort of in-line CSS style section?
It would be really nice to plop this down just before we render the partial view:
<style type="text/css">
input { margin: .2em .2em;
overflow: hidden;
width: 18.8em;
height: 1.6em;
border: 1px solid black;}
</style>
to have the 15 or so input fields in that particular Html snippet be formatted the same. These are swapped out, so the positions of the input fields change. This may also imply a CSS reset on each partial view.
I thing that an idea would be to include an additional content section in Head of the master page
<head runat="server">
<title>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="TitleContent" runat="server" />
</title>
<link href="../../Content/Site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="CssContent" runat="server" />
</head>
In doing so, you can then inject the specific styles for each view.
Edit: After posting I think the above is not what you are referring to. What you may consider is rolling your own ViewUserControl similar to Script & CSS Registration Helper in ASP.NET MVC??
Why not have a css file that is referenced in the partial views or am I mising the point of the question?
