i am styling the tag twice in my css file. i need to use different style but both the styles are actually conflicting.
#cat_header h3 {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, calibri;
font-size: 90px;
text-decoration: none;
font-weight: 100;
letter-spacing: -2px;
text-align: left;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.lightbox .head h3{
font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, Arial;
font-size: 28px;
letter-spacing: -1px; word-spacing: -1px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
margin: 5px 0 0 8px;
}
You can't "purge" you can override by making the rule more specific
#content .lightbox .head h3 { }
Or use !important
.lightbox .head h3 { font-family:Calibri !important; }
When you specify styles by ID (with a #) as opposed to by class (with a .), the style rules from the ID override those from the class. You can see the whole precedence rules here: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/cascade.html
Basically, you could just a third rule which is more specific than either of the two rules you have now.
I don't know what your document structure is, but here's an example bit of CSS which would be even more specific. I'm totally guessing as to what your document struture is, so your actual code will vary.
#cat_header.head h3{
color:red;
}

I have a situation that I can't seem to figure out with CSS.
I have a sidebar category menu that I want to be a certain font.. but the other content when it is in the sidebar to be the standard font.
The issue is that the div structure looks like this.
...
<div class="col-left sidebar">
<div id"sidebar-nav" class"block sidebar-nav-left codnitiveSidenavLeft">
<div class="block-title">..</div>
<div class="block-content">
Now what happens is that block-content has a font value in css which is the normal font.. when it is not under the class "block sidebar-nav-left coditiveSidenameLeft" then that is fine.. when it is under the "block sidebar-nav-left coditiveSidenameLeft" class then I want to use a special font called destroyregular.. here is what I have in the css.
.block .block-content {
padding: 5%;
font-family: 'Lato',sans-serif;
/*font-family: "destroyregular";*/
font-size: 100%;
font: bold 12px Arial, sans-serif;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
#sidebar-nav.block.sidebar-nav-left.codnitiveSidenavLeft
{
padding: 5%;
font-family: "destroyregular" !important;
font-size: 100%;
/*font: bold 12px Arial, sans-serif;*/
color: #E6E6E6;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
While container class"block sidebar-nav-left coditiveSidenameLeft" does have the destroyregular font, it is overridden by the block-content.. how can I force the destroyregular font down to the block-content only if it is under it?
Thanks in advance..
--Corrected typo in div... side-nav was corrected to sidebar-nav sorry..
--Corrected typo #2!! arrgh.. #sidebar-nav.block.sidebar-nav-left codnitiveSidenavLeft

Change the sidebar and .block-content to this:
#side-nav
{
padding: 5%;
font-family: "destroyregular", Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #E6E6E6;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.block-content {
padding: 5%;
font-family: 'Lato', Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
This selector:
#sidebar-nav.block.sidebar-nav-left.codnitiveSidenavLeft
Doesn't select anything in that HTML snippet you posted. The ID and class names don't match.
UPDATE: With the corrected selector, what's going on now is that the font destroyregular is getting applied with very high specificity to the .block, but .block-content will not inherit it over something set specifically for .block-content jsut because the parent has high specificity. This is how I would do it, same HTML and add this CSS:
#sidebar-nav.block.sidebar-nav-left.codnitiveSidenavLeft .block-content {
font-family: "destroyregular";
}
This is not optimal. I think it's overspecified. And probably you can get rid of the font definition on the other (overspecified) selector and move it to that one, but that depends on what you actually need.
I'm having one very difficult time getting :link and :visited to work on my links. I have been searching online for literally hours and read over 20 different instances of the same problem. Bizarrely enough, :hover and :active are working. What is going on?
Here's the code lines in my stylesheet:
H1 { text-align: center; width:1000px; font-size: 30pt; font-weight: bold; }
a.artlinks:link {color:#40C0FF; text-decoration: none; font-family: Cambria, Arial; }
a.artlinks:visited { color:#FF00FF; text-decoration: none; font-family: Cambria, Arial; }
a.artlinks:hover {color:#98D7F6; text-decoration: none; font-family: Cambria, Arial; }
a.artlinks:active {color:#FF0000; text-decoration: none; font-family: Cambria, Arial; }
and when I call it in my .html the code is:
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
Does anyone have a solution and also, a more efficient way to give the common a.artlinks parameters simultaneously? Thanks
Your code needs a bit of a tidy up, but this is how I would do it (edit I removed the width property from the h1 for demonstration purposes).
H1 {
text-align: center;
font-size: 30pt;
font-weight: bold;
}
a.artlinks {
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Cambria, Arial;
color:#40C0FF;
}
a.artlinks:visited {
color:#FF00FF;
}
a.artlinks:hover {
color:#98D7F6;
}
a.artlinks:active {
color:#FF0000;
}
See this jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/lharby/zkb8thck/
As the a class has the same properties, you can define those once in a.artlinks (font-family, text-decoration). The other elements that are unique can then be defined for :hover, :active etc.
I have link CSS define as:
A
{
color: #315393; font-family: verdana; font-weight: 500; text-decoration:underline; font-size: 10px;
}
A:Hover
{
color: #999999; font-family: verdana; font-weight: 500; text-decoration:none; font-size: 10px;
}
However, there are a couple cases where I want a link to act like a button and for that I use bootstrap and give them the class of "btn btn-primary", but since they are still links it seems they are still using the above CSS. How can I exclude the link behavior CSS from these and is there a way to do it in-line to the link?
You can use :not pseudo-class to exclude certain elements from the matched selector:
a:not(.btn.btn-primary) {
color: #315393;
font-family: verdana;
font-weight: 500;
text-decoration:underline;
font-size: 10px;
}
a:not(.btn.btn-primary):hover {
color: #315393;
font-family: verdana;
font-weight: 500;
text-decoration:underline;
font-size: 10px;
}
My CSS has the following code for links for the whole website:
#mainpanecontent A:link {
FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: #6a0a0a; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
I want to change a header that is also a link to be a different color using the code below but it doesn't enforce it. My code is inside a div that uses the "mainpanecontent" :
Header code
.contact
{
font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
padding-left: 50px;
background-position: 25px 14px;
padding-top: 13px;
}
.contact a:link, .contact a:visited
{
color: #1F507F;
}
.contact a:hover
{
color: #1F507F;
}
.contact a:active
{
color: #1F507F;
}
#mainpanecontent A:link has a higher specificity than any of your .contact a:somethings. The best way to solve this is probably to give your header an ID and use that. If you can’t, and it’s only in #maincontent, #maincontent will suffice, even if it’s not entirely appropriate. (Depends on the situation.)
#mainpanecontent .contact a:link {
color: #1f507f;
}
Also, just drop the :link, especially if you’re going to specify the same thing for all of them. (The only consideration there, <a name>, isn’t used these days.)
CSS has a system of priority for handling what gets what tags :: Give this a read
Here is a simple rewrite of your code that should work :)
Everything higher on the list should overwrite things lower of the list of the same type
.contact a:active
{
color: #1F507F;
}
.contact a:hover
{
color: #1F507F;
}
.contact a:link, .contact a:visited
{
color: #1F507F;
}
.contact
{
font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
padding-left: 50px;
background-position: 25px 14px;
padding-top: 13px;
}
CSS Rules are sometimes not enforced due to how explicit the previous rule was, in the rule you list above it references an ID, which is more explicit than a class.
The other issue of course can be that your "overrides" are defined BEFORE the other rule, therefore they are overwritten.
In the first case you can use !important to force the override of the rule.
e.g.
.contact
{
font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
padding-left: 50px;
background-position: 25px 14px;
padding-top: 13px;
}
.contact a {
color: #1F507F !important;
}
Note I removed the other rules, because you are only setting the link color to the same color in each case, so there's no need to define the pseudo-classes :hover, :active etc. with the same constant.
I have the following example Jsfiddle where i've posted all 12 columns and the required css. the next piece of code i think it's the one that's causing the problems. In the live example you will notice that these two columns at less than 320px screen width will break the container and scrollbar will appear. I've tried fixing this problem but i didn't find a solution so far. Anyone around who can help me out ?
<div class="col-mb-2 col-8 col-dt-5"><p> </p></div>
<div class="col-mb-2 col-2 col-dt-8"><p> </p></div>
Update:
Added a picture to see the portion of the problem
so you need to write media query
#media (max-width:312px) {
.col-dt-5, .col-dt-8{padding:0px 2px !important}
}
(max-width:312px) means, the width of the scree is 312px or less
I think the problem is with this class:
.testgrid p {
background: #5d68c2;
margin-bottom: 2em;
font-size: 0.75em;
line-height: 1em;
padding: 1em; /* <--- this is the problem */
color: #ffffff;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif
}
you need to remove left and right padding:
.testgrid p {
background: #5d68c2;
margin-bottom: 2em;
font-size: 0.75em;
line-height: 1em;
padding: 1em 0px; /* updated */
color: #ffffff;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-weight: 800;
font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Sans-serif;
}
I tried box-sizing but not worked.
