The following selector is declared in external stylesheet
p:first-letter
{
color: red;
}
But it doesn't make the first letter in <p> element turn red. It does work when this is declared in internal css.
Yes it can.
What you wrote should work just fine; are you sure you are linking to the external stylesheet correctly?
This works perfectly fine for me in Firefox 3.6.x:
external-selector.htm
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="external-selector.css" type="text/css">
<style type="text/css">
p { color: blue; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Paragraph!</p>
</body>
</html>
external-selector.css
p:first-letter {
color: red;
}
output
I had this problem as well, and after over an hour of messing with Firefox I figured out that it's the InvisibleHand addon that is causing this problem for me. When I disabled it, the problem went away.
I have emailed their info email address asking them to fix the bug.
it seems any other CSS is conflicting.
try if it work
p:first-letter
{
color: red !important;
}
I had the same problem described here. I knew the external stylesheet was being applied because I could see other styles being applied. After reading Heptite's answer I decided I'd try updating Firefox. This fixed the problem.
So, perhaps this was a bug that got fixed in the latest Firefox (v39.0)

I'm using the font Cardiff in a project and trying to apply the style text-decoration:underline to it.
This works fine in Chrome (Version 35.0.1916.114) but Firefox (Version. 29.0.1) the underline is crossing through the text instead of appearing under it. I believe it's something to do with the Cardiff font because when I try a 'Web Safe' font the underline is displayed correctly.
This is how the Cardiff font is being displayed
If I then change the font to Helvetica, this is how it's displayed
I've tried a few things already:
Wrapping the font in a span tag, then styling this as a block and giving it a height
I've also tried a solution provided in another question
Updated...
Using fixes provided by #touko I've put together a solution that isn't really what I wanted to settle for but it works.
I've used a border for Firefox and regular text-decoration for other browsers.
h2 {
text-decoration: underline;
}
Firefox specific CSS styling as explained on this solution...
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
h2 {
text-decoration: none;
display: inline;
border-bottom: 1px solid #4c2f04;
padding-bottom: 6px;
}
}
I hope someone finds a better solution than this though because it's more of a bodge job if anything.
Seems like an issue with the font, you could try running it through the Font Squirrel Web Font Generator to see if that fixes it.
Just dont use vertical-align: middle
The similar problem is here: Link underline appearing above text in Firefox?
But looks like your problem is with a font itself.
I do not recommend to do a hack like border under the text. Search for other font.
body {
font-family: Cardiff;
font-size: 24px;
}

<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

You could use border-bottom as underline and set the space below to desirable with padding.
yourtxt-wrap{text-decoration:overline}
yourtxt-wrap{text-decoration:line-through}
yourtxt-wrap{text-decoration:underline}
I have an issue with the background-image property in an external CSS file. I can't seem to get the image to show up. Its been while since I have coded so maybe it's just me forgetting everything I know but I'm pretty sure I have the link right. The website is set up like this
/Root/
index.html
/styles/
webstyles.css
/img/
header.jpg
The background works when I use it inline so it's starting to annoy me.
HTML
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>MYSITE</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/styles/webstyles.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="headerBar">
<h1 class="Hlogo">Title</h1>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS
body
{
background:#999999;
}
headerBar
{
background: url(/styles/img/header.jpg);
}
Thanks for any help.
If this style is in webstyles.css, then you need to use this way.
.headerBar{
background: url('img/header.jpg');
}
Based on the folder structure, "styles/img/header.jpg" is still a wrong path.
And also, I'm not sure why, but you are missing . for CSS class selector when selecting the headerBar. Fix that one too.
You can use:
background: url("styles/img/header.jpg");
Replace
background: url(/styles/img/header.jpg);
with
background: url('img/header.jpg');
You can use:
.headerBar
{
background: url("styles/img/header.jpg");
}
since styles folder is the same level as your HTML file.
However, if your img folder is not placed inside styles folder (which makes more sense), then you want this path instead:
.headerBar
{
background: url('img/header.jpg');
}
Also you're missing . to target class .headerBar
I'm trying to remove the 8px margin from the body tag.
I've tried (not all at once)
* { padding:0; margin:0; }
and
html, body { padding:0; margin:0 !important; }
and
body { margin:-8px; }
and even
<body style="margin:0">
The last one works, but only if I add the style attrib using Firebug; if it's in the original HTML, it gets ignored.
I'm at my wit's end.
Edit: facepalm I figured it out; I'd changed it to a cfm so I could easily call browser-specific styles. Thank you all for your help.
Include a reset stylesheet instead, this way you will reset all of the default values equally in all browsers.
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
All you need is:
body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
The padding is not needed for Firefox, but for Opera, which uses padding instead of margin for the default.
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/k3j8Y/
body{ margin: 0;}
works ok for me :P
Include your stylesheet correctly
As your style is not appearing in FireBug's CSS rule stack, your CSS is probably not linked correctly. Ensure the stylesheet is in your head tag like so:
<head>
<link href="Style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
I'm using .class1.class2 .class3 selector, where .class1.class is a combination selector and .class3 belongs to a descendant. works fine in FF, but on IE7, it doesn't work.
In the css below, the second style is always shown in IE. any solution?
<STYLE type="text/css">
.test1.test2 .test3{
width:90px;
height:100px;
}
.test4.test2 .test3{
width:900px;
height:100px;
}
</style>
<div class="test1 test2">
<button value="test" class="test3"/>
</div>
just for let you know, what you are using is called Multiple Classes method! IE7 need to use this form:
div.class1.class2 div.class3 {}
IE6 don't suppurt this you can hack it, read the solution
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/multipleclasses.html
hope this help!
That style should work perfectly on IE7+. As Pekka said in the comments there is a small problem with IE6. I'm guessing that you're not using the strict doctype perhaps?
In which case, you deserve everything you get :-o
Just add <!doctype html> to the start of the HTML file and everything should be fine.
Use Conditional Comments , this issue has been raised too many times here is an example :
<!--[if lte IE 9>
<style type="text/css">
.test1,.test2,.test3{
width:90px;
height:100px;
}
.test4,.test2,.test3{
width:900px;
height:100px;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->
This means all IE family browser less than version 9 are going to read in this style, or you can use style with # to be read by IE like this :
<STYLE type="text/css">
.test1,.test2,.test3{
#width:90px;
#height:100px;
}
.test4,.test2,.test3{
#width:900px;
#height:100px;
}
</style>
Has anyone been able to succesfully use the IE CSS hack #IEroot? I stumbled upon it from this article but it doesn't seem to work for me.
I'm trying to fix/hack the inline styling bug to produce li inline blocks
#featured li {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
width:317px;
height:310px;
display:inline-block;
border-left:1px #bdbdbd solid;
}
#IEroot #featured li {
display:inline;
}
Any help would be greatly apperciated, thanks.
IT DOES WORK, exactly as described, EVEN in IE8, and is actually a pretty smart CSS hack to get around IE specific bugs.
You MUST swap out the DOCTYPE line for a REAL DOCTYPE though first.
Here is the code from the link, tweaked to be a working sample.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<style>
/* all browsers make border red */
#IE { border : 2px solid red; }
/* all browsers see this, but only IE thinks #IEroot exists as an element and makes border blue */
#IEroot #IE { border-color : blue; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<!--[if IE]>
<div id="IEroot">
<![endif]-->
<p id="IE">This browser is IE. (red in all, blue in IE)</p>
<p id="notIE">This browser is not IE.</p>
<!--[if IE]>
</div>
<![endif]-->
</body>
</html>
I'm using a beta of IE8, and the example on the page that you are referring to does not work. The live demo also doesn't seem to take IE8 in count.
These kinds of hacks are clever, but I'd advice you to stay away from it.
Whenever you encounter differences between browsers, there are always alternative ways to do the same thing in such a way that it works for all browsers.
I've made more websites full of CSS than I can count, and I never ever resort to browser-specific code, especially not the kind that exploits bugs in specific versions of browsers. They solve a tiny problem today, but give you twice the headaches tomorrow, and are a bitch to maintain.
If you insist on using such a hack, make sure to add a comment like this:
/* >>>>>>> BUTT-UGLY BROWSER HACK! FIX ME!!!!! <<<<<<<< */
#IEroot #featured li {
display:inline;
}
