applying css to dijit button - css

I have the following HTML and CSS:
<button id="myBtn" dojoType="dijit.form.Button">Testing</button>
#myBtn {
margin-left: 100px;
}
The CSS is supposed to push the button in 100px. But since dijit applies some extra layers of HTML around the button, the button gets a 100px padding.
JSbin to show the problem
edit: Found one (not IE6-compatible) solution:
[widgetid=myBtn] { margin-left: 100px; }

see above :-) Surround with a DIV and use that DIV in your static CSS.
I think decorating with HTML may actually be a simpler solution than trying to bake more into the widget or the widget's template.

Instead of applying the style by ID, do it through a class.
Stylesheet:
.myBtn { margin-left: 100px; }
Code:
<button class="myBtn" dojoType="dijit.form.Button" id="myBtn">Testing</button>
http://jsbin.com/ejoma/2

In this case you should not add the margin-left to the button itselft but to the additional HTML araound the button that is created. Try this:
.dijitLeft{
margin-left: 100px;
}
But this will indeed add a margin to every button. If you don't want that, add the margin to the parent span using JavaScript after the additional HTML was created.

Inline style is working.
<button id="myBtn" dojoType="dijit.form.Button" style="margin-left:100px">Testing</button>

How to Change .popover-content CSS for ui-bootstrap popover

I am using the ui-bootstrap popover to list some notifications in my application.
I am using the uib-popover-template to design the content of the popover.
I would like to change the padding settings for each elements inside the popover.
I have tried using the popover-class attribute, but this just configures the CSS for the overall popover, and not the elements contained inside - this is what the .popover-content CSS class seems to govern.
Here is the html for the popover:
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-globe" uib-popover-template="'myNotifications.html'"
popover-class="my-notifications-popover"></span>
Additionally, I don't want to do this just by doing:
.popover-content {
margin: 0px;
}
as I have used popovers in multiple places throughout my application and don't want them all to get their CSS redefined.
Can anyone tell me how to change this in the correct manner? All help much appreciated...
EDIT 1: I've tried to do as suggested in the comments by makshh and use CSS selectors to modify the '.popover-content' class. This class is a div contained within the parent '.popover' class.
I tried to do this with the following:
.my-notifications-popover {
margin-left: 0px;
}
.my-notifications-popover div {
margin-left: 0px;
}
This should make the margin-left zero for all child divs of .my-notifications-popover which should be applied to the popover. However it doesn't seem to be applied at all. This approach may not be ideal since it would set the margin for all divs below the popover which I may not want. Is there a way to specifically target the .popover-content class specifically using the CSS selectors?
I've created a plnkr to show exactly how this is not working.... You can see it here: https://plnkr.co/edit/Lr43L5b0YUbZEa5Zkvso
Added
.popover-no-margin .popover-content {
padding: 0px;
}
https://plnkr.co/edit/NiIh6qwZiscNZC5ZZrod?p=preview
which works because you passed the custom class
popover-class="popover-no-margin"
Well it seems like it was padding and not margin that needed to be changed! What a moron... oh well... sorry about that... still not sure what is the most accurate way to target just the popover-content div
Add this to your plunker example.. .popover-no-margin .popover-content{
padding:0px;
} and check if this is what you wanted.
This removes the extra spaces in the popover and it will be applies to this popover only as you have already defined the class popover-no-margin for this element.
Just check my code css is reflecting for popover content. You can handle css for popover by adding css to popover-content .popover-line or creating a custom css for popover as popover-class="my-popover-class":
HTML
<button popover-class="my-popover-class" popover-placement="right" uib-popover-template="dynamicPopover.templateUrl" popover-title="{{dynamicPopover.title}}" type="button" class="btn btn-default">Popover With Template</button> <script type="text/ng-template" id="myPopoverTemplate.html">
<div class="popover-line"> item 1 : This an example of angular ui-bootstrap popover custom content css</div>
<div class="popover-line"> item 2</div>
<div class="popover-line"> item 3</div> </script>
CSS
.popover-content .popover-line { margin: 10px 0px; }
.my-popover-class { color: blue; padding-left: 0 !important;}
Working demo is here
You can add your css accordingly as you want within .popover-content .popover-line (like color,margin,padding and so on)
I checked your code. You miss something. Dynamically created content can't load existing CSS or Js. You should load css and js when you click the button. Just follow this way. I hope it will work with it well.
<script type="text/ng-template" id="popoverTemplate.html">
<div class="popover-line"> item 1</div>
<div class="popover-line"> item 2</div>
<div class="popover-line"> item 3</div>
<style>
.popover-content{
display: block;
width: 200px;
}
.popover-content .popover-line{
background-color: #ff00ff;
border-bottom: 2px solid #121212;
padding: 10px 15px;
}
</style>
</script>
If you write this way your custom CSS then it will work property. See the Image below how I write code.
I hope it will help your project.

Centered element with link can be clicked on either side

I have a <button> element which has been centered into the middle of the page with an anchor tag wrapped around it like seen in this JSFiddle.
From the JSFiddle if you hover your mouse on either side of the button the link is active. I could prevent this by wrapping it around a <div> and then apply this to the <div>:
div {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
However is there a better solution to this as in my case, I have many buttons like this and it would take long to apply? Thanks.
Are you referring to the space within the button, besides the "A Button" text, because I don't see any clickable area outside of the button. If so, I think that's just a function of the button tag. When I hover over the button, it highlights blue but my cursor doesn't change, like it should when I hover over a link.
If you throw the a href tag within the button, you'll get the cursor to change when you hover over the button's text. However, the button will still highlight button when you cursor is over the empty space within the button.
Also, what are you using the links for? Instead of hyperlinking the button, you might want to use the URL attribute within the button tag, if you're trying to use the button to send information somewhere.
The best solution to this was to just wrap the button with a form like so:
<form action="link-to-page-here">
<button>Button</button>
</form>
Using this, I can still center the button using:
button {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
But avoiding the link being clickable on the row of the button.
You shouldn't put a <button> inside of an <a> tag
just use the <button></button> and use the same style you've written for the button tag, so it should be something like that:
button {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
If you have to use the wrong markup and keep the button inside the <a> tag
just wrap the a tag inside a div tag and change styles to the following
<div>
<a href="">
<button>A Button</button>
</a>
</div>
and styles:
a{
display: inline-block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
div{
text-align: center;
}
button{
}

Alternate <div> Visibility (mouseover image)

I'm having some trouble here. I want to show an image when mouse is hovered above following div.
HTML:
<div id="testmouseover">
<img src="testmouseover.png">
</div>
CSS:
#testmouseover
{
left: -9px;
top: -9px;
position: absolute;
width: 865px;
height: 653px;
z-index:1;
}
I have 4 of these divs wich should display a different image, so how can I add an ID to the hover?
Can someone help me with writing the CSS code for the hover? It will be greatly appreciated!
Have an onmouseover() event attached to the div. You can take some pointers from w3schools.
In the function that is being called at onmouseover, change the innerHTML property to have the desired image.
This can be achieved even quicker using jQuery:
$("#divId").click(function(){
$(this).html("Ur image html here")
});
I think it's easier than you think: try #testmouseover:hover
If that's not the right answer, please share a code sample on codepen
Here is an html version if it helps. The z-index is for layering images (stacking) not for mouse overs if I am correct.
<img src="NORMAL IMAGE" onmouseover="this.src='MOUSE OVER IMAGE'" onmouseout="this.src='Normal Image'" alt="ALTERNET TEXT">
Try this, pure CSS:
#testmouseover img {
display: none;
}
#testmouseover:hover img {
display: inline;
}
Be sure to give the div some width and height so that you don't get weird flickering stuff. For multiple divs just give them different IDs and copy this CSS a few times. If all the divs are the same you could also give them all the same class, or give them a class with the above mentioned CSS and an ID with the div specific styles.

applying css to <html:link> tags

I'm starting out in using struts and I'm finding difficulty in applying my css on the tags.
<html:link action="LoginLink" styleClass="loginButton"/>
Basically I'd want to apply a button image on a link which goes to a login page.
I've used this method successfully in submit buttons for forms and I thought that the same could apply to the links, however it was not displaying properly.
<html:submit styleClass="submitButton" value=" " ></html:submit>
To add, I am able to see the top part of my button image when I place some text on the link like for example:
<html:link action="LoginLink" styleClass="loginButton" >Some text here</html:link>
Are there any alternative tags that I am able to use or is there any way to set the height and width (in pixels) of the link tag so that the button can appear normally?
also here is the css for the loginButton for reference:
.loginButton {
border:none;
background:url('../images/adminbutton.png');
height: 59px;
width: 138px;
}.loginButton:hover {
background:url('../images/adminbutton2.png');
}.loginButton:active {
position:relative;
top:1px;
}
Try to add this property
display: block;
to .loginButton

Make a div into a link

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 ;-)
