I want to use an image for the background of a select/dropdown. The following CSS works fine in Firefox and IE, but does not in Chrome:
#main .drop-down-loc { width:506px; height: 30px; border: none;
background-color: Transparent;
background: url(images/text-field.gif) no-repeat 0 0;
padding:4px; line-height: 21px;}
select
{
-webkit-appearance: none;
}
If you need to you can also add an image that contains the arrow as part of the background.
What Arne said - you can't reliably style select boxes and have them look anything like consistent across browsers.
Uniform: https://github.com/pixelmatrix/uniform is a javascript solution which gives you good graphic control over your form elements - it's still Javascript, but it's about as nice as javascript gets for solving this problem.
Generally, it's considered a bad practice to style standard form controls because the output looks so different on each browser. See: http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/styling-form-controls-revisited/select-single/ for some rendered examples.
That being said, I've had some luck making the background color an RGBA value:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body {
background: #d00;
}
select {
background: rgba(255,255,255,0.1) url('http://www.google.com/images/srpr/nav_logo6g.png') repeat-x 0 0;
padding:4px;
line-height: 21px;
border: 1px solid #fff;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<select>
<option>Foo</option>
<option>Bar</option>
<option>Something longer</option>
</body>
</html>
Google Chrome still renders a gradient on top of the background image in the color that you pass to rgba(r,g,b,0.1) but choosing a color that compliments your image and making the alpha 0.1 reduces the effect of this.
You can use the CSS styles below for all browsers except Firefox 30:
select {
background: url(dropdown_arw.png) no-repeat right center;
appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
-webkit-appearance: none;
width: 90px;
text-indent: 0.01px;
text-overflow: "";
}
Updated
Here is a solution for Firefox 30. There is a little trick for custom select elements in firefox :-moz-any() CSS pseudo class.

I have a on my page and I have styled it with css.
input[type=range] {
-webkit-appearance: none;
background-color: #1b2b66;
width: 300px;
height: 3px;
position: relative;
top: -9px;
}
input[type="range"]::-webkit-slider-thumb {
-webkit-appearance: none;
background-image: url("../images/slider.png");
background-size: 100% auto;
border: 0px;
width: 35px;
height: 35px;
}
The issues is: on the ipad when the user clicks the slider thumb a black border surrounds the image. How do I hide this?
You need to use modernizr to perform a feature detect.
<script src="modernizr.js"></script>
<script>Modernizr.load({
test: Modernizr.inputtypes.range,
nope: ['use your css to define the range input format']
});
</script>
This test looks for support. When it fails, it loads your css to format that input. If a browser has support for this tag, which means there will be a standard way it renders that control and your css will be redundant. In this case, we usually just let the browser ignore our css settings.
If you really want to override the default css settings. Try using !important.
border: 0 !important;
I figured out my issue. First of all thank you everyone for the help.
I forgot to set the background-color: property. I set it to #FFF and now have the desired effect.
The default weight of 1px for line-through property in CSS is great for body copy at 1em.
Unfortunately for larger items such as a price set at 3em on an offer site, 1px is really too light. Is it possible to set a heavier line weight for line-through?
If not, what alternatives should I consider, such as an image overlay for example?
You can do something like this in modern browsers
.strike{
position: relative;
}
.strike::after{
content: '';
border-bottom: 4px solid red;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 50%;
width: 100%;
}
I <span class="strike">love</span> hate hotdogs
Made a fiddle of it too:
http://jsfiddle.net/TFSBF/
Here's another way to do it with a fake strike-through (which looks great and works on all browsers, albeit with the cost of a tiny imageload). The image is a black 1px by 2px box.
del {
background: url(/images/black-1x2.png) repeat-x 0 10px;
}
I think this is a browser implementation issue.
See this page http://jsbin.com/arucu5/2/edit
In IE8 and Firefox the line through width increases with the font size.
However in Safari and Chrome it remains at 1px
You can always a dirty Ghetto method like this
http://www.overclock.net/web-coding/167926-ghetto-css-strike-through.html
This should work:
<style>
span.strike {
font-weight:bold; /*set line weight here*/
color:red;
text-decoration:line-through;
}
span.strike>span {
font-weight:normal;
color: black;
}
</style>
<span class="strike"><span>$20.00</span></span>
I've found another approach to set line weight for multiline text:
span {
background: url('data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAADCAIAAADdv/LVAAAABGdBTUEAAK/INwWK6QAAABl0RVh0U29mdHdhcmUAQWRvYmUgSW1hZ2VSZWFkeXHJZTwAAAASSURBVHjaYvrPwMDEAMEAAQYACzEBBlU9CW8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=');
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-position: center;
}
Here is an example:
http://output.jsbin.com/weqovenopi/1/
This approach assumes repeating an image (1px width and npx height). Also it works independent on the font-size.
Only one disadvantage - background renders under the text.
You can thicken the line with style.
For example:
text-decoration-thickness: 3px;
I can't figure this one out. I'm trying to get rid of that blue glow when textarea is highlighted in Firefox.
Here's my CSS:
textarea
{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 598px;
height: 600px;
resize: none;
outline: none;
}
:focus {
outline:0;
outline:none;
}
It removes it in Safari, but I'm have no luck with Firefox.
Thanks!
Matt
how about
*:focus {outline:0px none transparent;}
You can remove it with -moz-appearance:none;, though that may affect the whole appearance more than you're wanting.
If you use this on the textarea style:
outline:none;
... it should work with all browsers, not just Firefox
I'm fairly sure that's a Mac OS X theme-specific behaviour.
Just add or define a border... for instance, if a border is defined and I've added outline: none; to my CSS, this does the trick.
I just had an issue with this on a text input- Firefox was using the border property to create the blue glow on :focus - not outline.
input:focus, textarea:focus {
outline: none; // for other browsers
border: none; // only necessary if you haven't set a border on the element
}
You cannot remove the glow in Firefox I think.. Only way to do that would be by adding a custom border to your element, like border: 1px black;, that would make the input box have no glow at all.
Only popular browsers which allows the outline tag are Safari and Chrome (not sure about linux browsers).
on #3
#Solution0:focus{
border:solid #CCC 1px;
outline:1px none transparent;
}
The better way to fix this, in my opinion, is define a custom border and :focus behavior.
textarea {
margin:0;
padding:0;
width: 598px;
height: 600px;
resize: none;
outline: none;
border: none;
}
textarea:focus {
outline: none;
border: none;
}
Slightly unrelated but possibly helpful answer: In my case the blue glow was causing an alignment problem in Firefox only since it adds an extra pixel or two and changes the overall element size. My guess is a lot of people will arrive at this question for similar reasons and rather than remove the blue glow altogether, the solution I came to was to style the input element padding in specifically for Firefox:
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
input:focus {
padding: 5px!important;
}
}
You can change this to suite your needs but it may be helpful for some of you to know about the #-moz-document url-prefix() rule.
I found this code from here: http://www.cssportal.com/form-elements/text-box.htm
But the problem is you can still see the rectangular shape of the textbox whenever you click inside it. What would be the fix for this? So that the highlight will go with the image with rounded corners
/* Rounded Corner */
.tb5 {
background: url(images/rounded.gif) no-repeat top left;
height: 22px;
width: 230px;
}
.tb5a {
border: 0;
width:220px;
margin-top:3px;
}
This should only occur in some browsers such as Google Chrome, it is meant to help with usability and accessibility but it can cause issues with some styling. What you want to do is remove the dynamic outlines like this:
input[type="text"] {
outline: none;
}
In addition, you can try highlighting the text box still by including a background image change using a psedo-selector like :focus
input[type="text"]:focus {
background: url(images/rounded-focused.gif) no-repeat top left;
}

“text-decoration” and the “:after” pseudo-element, revisited
(11 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
Like all right-thinking people, I hate to click on a link and discover too late that it leads to a browser-crippling PDF or Microsoft Office file. I thought I'd make life a bit easier for people by displaying a little icon next to links that lead to such files. With IE8 finally supporting the :after pseudo-element, I thought the CSS declaration would be fairly simple:
a.file_pdf:after {
content:url('/images/pdf.png');
text-decoration: none;
padding-left: 5px;
}
In IE8, this works fine. In Firefox and Chrome, though, text-decoration: none is ignored, and the underline stretches unattractively across the bottom of the icon. Is there a way to fix this without "cheating" by using an extra <span> tag?
I'm doing it in a different way, using attribute selectors, a background image and a padding (as xandy also suggested):
a[href$=".pdf"] {
padding-right: 21px; /* space for the icon */
background: url(graphics/pdf.png) no-repeat right bottom;
}
This works in IE7 too.
Here's a complete example
In IE7 the PDF icon won't be visible as it does not understand data URIs:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>PDF</title>
<style type="text/css">
a:link,
a:visited {
color: #317408;
background: #eee;
}
a[href$=".pdf"] {
padding-right: 21px;
background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,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);

how about using background image?
a.file_pdf {
background: url('/images/pdf.png') no-repeat right;
padding-right: 30px;
...
}
EDIT
Test and runs perfectly on my FF 3.5, should have no issue in most browser since only using traditional image replacement technique.
