I give my links a background color to make it stand out, the problem is that it will also apply to links which have images as child instead of text. The result is that the image has a small background at the bottom. (see: http://blog.cmstutorials.org/reviews/general/featured-tutorial-of-the-week-05-feb-2011 )
How do i removed the background of links when it has an img as a child? I though that someting like this would work:
.featured_tutorial img < a
CSS does not support a parent selector.
You have to use classes like a.this_link_contanis_img{ /*override background*/ }
Or maybe you could set a new property to the img. This could hide the link's background.
.featured_tutorial img{ /*override background*/ }
Edit: Ok, that wont work in your case..
Cascading Style Sheets don't allow accessing elements "backwards". You can only access children of an element, not its parents.
It has background leaking at the bottom because images are inline level elements by default and are positioned at the baseline of the text line they are placed on thus there is gap between baseline and descent line that gets the color leak. You can get rid of it in two ways. Set css for:
a img { display: block; }
or if you want the to stay displayed as inline
a img { vertical-align: bottom }
this should fix your problem as it will align the image to the descent line of the text line the image is placed on when in inline mode.
Hope it helps,

As mentioned there is no CSS fix but as you're already using jQuery this is the only way i can think of doing it
http://jsfiddle.net/vrqCV/
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("a:not(:has(img))").addClass("bg");
});
As has already been pointed out, CSS doesn't have a way of looking "up" the DOM tree. It basically comes down to performance considerations. (Here's one explanation.)
But if you're not averse to the sometimes necessary evil of tacking this sort of thing on with Javascript, jQuery has a :parent selector.

[Highcharts]
Hello, is there a way to display the tooltip outside the tags? Like to make it "float" outside the container so that it doesn't get cutoff like below.
Thanks in advance.
Here's an example jsFiddle you can use to reproduce the issue. (Try hovering over the boxplot)
http://jsfiddle.net/af3g18mo/ Code
In your fiddle i can figure out the Problem:
If you go up one cascade in your stylesheet you can see that your paths and stuff is within a tag.
The tag has the fix height of 65px and no overflow attributes - but one path before there is the overflow:hidden. This is why the highchart tooltips and everything is just cut off.
You can change your height dynamically to for example 40% what doesn't really fix the problem if you have longer contents in your tooltip. but you can give a "overflow:visible;" to your <svg> and overwrite the "overflow:hidden" in your ".highcharts-container" with visible - so all the contents like your tooltips that have more than 65 px height are displayed.
You can see the solution here:
be careful changing these things, but in your example i couldn't see any bad reactions to this change. In case you have to give your css the whole path to not change it globally.
http://jsfiddle.net/af3g18mo/2/
So the concrete fixing for your css could be:
svg{
overflow:visible;
}
.highcharts-container{
overflow:visible !important;
}
Is there any downside to converting img from inline-block elements into block objects with the display: block CSS property?
Most of the time, I want them to be block elements. Any useful inline aspects that I am losing? (Perhaps I am not seeing some as useful?)
Should all images be converted into block elements by default? Why are they inline-block elements according to spec?
P.S. I am asking this with considerations for layout via positioning & floats, and surrounding elements.
Well considering that a block will force anything after to line break, there is only one scenario where it would be bad:
If you plan to have another inline element (text, another image, span, etc) beside it
There is one downside :
If you plan to horizontally center an image applying "text-align:center" to the parent element, you cannot display the image as block or inline-block.
Put img { display: block; } in your CSS and forget about it. In the extremely rare instance that you need something different write an exception.
One hack found for block display:"block".
I had this image and the wavesurfer audio wave which I wanted as inline.
But, the display:"block"; in the js of wavesurfer was not allowing it.
What I did was, saved this cdn file locally and changed the display to inline and position to absolute which solved my issue. The change is supposed to be done where the wave element is created.
Hope this helps someone. Thanku wavesurfer creators for such an amazing js.
I'm trying to do something pretty simple: an <a> tag with a background image. The code is found here, http://jsfiddle.net/QWatA/
The problem is that for some reason I can't set the width of the <a> tag in this code. If I had just a normal background and set it with a width it works fine. However seems like if I do it this way I have no control over the width. Ideally I want all the links to have highlights of the same width.
The reason I'm doing this is that I want a different background image for each of the links, so I'm forced to define all those a.class1, a.class2 stuff.
Thanks!!
Add display:inline-block; to your 'a' elements. By default 'a' is display:inline and so does not establish box with width/height.
http://jsfiddle.net/QWatA/1/
yea c-smile beat me to it just put display: block in your css, however if your going to do a.class1, a.class2 and so on with new pictures put it in your ul li a instead of in the a.class1 a.class2 and so on then you only have to write the code once.
this problem made me scratch my head
how to use CSS to make a DIV display only the first line of a multiline content?
How can I set a DIV height like one line, but actually holding multiple lines?
Can this be done without any javascript? I have to display the full content after click the DIV and edit the DIV by setting its attribute to contenteditable, it's best if I just use CSS selector to select non-first-line of the content and hide it.
Its easy:
.magic {
height: 1em;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
.magic:active {
height: auto;
}
Make sure that instead of :active you're using suitable selector.
Height have to be equal to line-height. Which is not always equal to 1em.
Question 1: you may be able to use the :first-line pseudo-element in your CSS.
div#mydiv {display:none}
div#mydiv :first-line {display:inline}
However, the spec does not list "display" as one of the properties which may be assigned to this pseudo-element, so this may or may not work, or may depend on the browser.
there was a related bug and it's already fixed
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=81783
Unfortunately Colin's answer above using the :first-line pseudo element doesn't work.. would have been nice as it's very elegant :)
There are some alternatives here:
Show first line of a paragraph
I am new to CSS, so please bear with me. I have this form which I'm trying to style. Everything works fine, except the confirmation label which is in a div. I want some space to be there between div.field, and while this works for all the input elements, it doesn't work for the label message which is at the bottom. I tried increasing margin-top, but to no avail. I would like that element to be positioned in the center.
Using the web-developer addon of Firefox, it shows me that the width and height of div.field of label tag specifically is 284px and 209px respectively. Why is this so, when I haven't set it that way?
You can view the code live at jsfiddle: http://www.jsfiddle.net/yMHJY/
The solution is simple, really. Add a margin-top to the parent of the label element, and add overflow: hidden to the div#contact div .field selector.
However, can I just say that the code can be rewritten for much better efficiency and semantic correctness. For instance, I would contain the last massage in a p tag and not a label in a div. Also, I would have each input element placed in an unordered list ul instead of divs. You also have a lot of unnecessary floats and the br at the end of each input is wholly uneeded. Oh, and unless you are embedding Calluna somehow, don't use it - stick to web safe fonts (and if you are, you still need to suggest an alternative, in the user's browser does not support it, and also to give the browser something to display while the font loads).
Edit
Fixed the load for ya, I should be paid for this kind of stuff :) Just stick to better HTML and CSS next time.

To center you could add a parent container
<div id="parent">
<label id="label">Your Message Has Been Sent</label>
</div>
div#parent {
text-align:center;
}
or add an id to your original parent div to target it with above css
with regards to the margin, you seem to have an issue with a float:left being set in the
div#contact div input[type=text] class. You need to clear this as it could be causing you margin problems. Try removing this and amending your styles. Why are you floating the inputs left?
