css override on a class - css

Here is the page I have a problem with
on each image (little square) i apply the class <div class="odeurbox"> that should be 67 pixel wide...the result is a box 480 pixel wide
Why is the style is superseded by something else.... obviously, there is something i dont understand from the CSS cascading ..
any light ?
p.s. i know you dont care, but it look good in dreamweaver... sob !

You are missing a } bracket for the class:
.textplusbold {
color: #002B4E;
font-weight: bold;
}
Line 198 of the css file. :)

Well your .odeurbox class's width: 67px value should override any parent style width's. Have you got the width set on the odeurbox class?

You haven't specified a style for the .odeurbox style. Add the following to your stylesheet:
.odeurbox { width: 67px; }

Multiple class attributes (from variables) are not displaying in react

I am trying to style my react component. But i get for my understanding weird behaviour.
<div className={classNames(scss[isOdd ? 'timeline-item-icon-odd'
: 'timeline-item-icon-even'], [inProgress])}>
What i get in the dom is:
timeline-item-icon-odd___3K5am progress
where progress is from the variable inProgress.
In my opinion i tought this is the way to do it but apparently it only renders the first class and completely ignoring the second.
I have set up a single html an css file where i checked my styles before applying and there they all work correctly.
CSS:
.timeline-item-icon-odd {
background-color: gray;
border-color: gray;
}
.progress {
background-color: green !important;
border-color: green !important;
}
So what i want to achieve is as to have the background according to the variable in inProgress.
I hope somebody has any idea.
Thank you in advance!
Regards
If you want to add inProgress together with your other conditional css classes you need to add inProgress like this:
<div className={classNames(scss[isOdd ? 'timeline-item-icon-odd'
: 'timeline-item-icon-even',inProgress])}>
I hope this would solve the issue. I have tried this and it worked.
The Solution:
<div className={classNames(
scss[isOdd ? 'timeline-item-icon-odd' : 'timeline-item-icon-even'],
scss[inProgress]
)}
>
The solution was the scss in front. So a syntax error.

Selector alignment in CSS source code

I'm looking to see if anyone has ever had any experience with this CSS syntax debate we are currently having on our team. Our dev team has been using the vim plugin Tabular to align text in our code. For example in PHP or Javascript we will align variable declarations using the plugin like this:
$count = 0;
$var_1 = array();
$var_2_long_name = array();
$stdout = fopen( 'php://stdout', 'w' );
$some_data = json_decode( $some_json_data, true );
Helps the code look clean and easy to read.
We have considered using alignment in our CSS (we are using LESS but this question could be applied to SASS or just straight CSS). For example we would change this block:
.btn-section {
position: relative;
top: -65px;
display: block;
z-index: 100;
.content-box;
background-color: #grayButton;
color: #gray;
padding: 10px 0;
.border-radius(5px);
}
To this:
.btn-section {
position : relative;
top : -65px;
display : block;
z-index : 100;
background-color : #grayButton;
color : #gray;
padding : 10px 0;
.content-box;
.border-radius(5px);
}
One of the devs experimenting with this tactic moved the mixins from their original spots to the bottom of the declaration in order to make the code "look right" since mixins don't conform the the normal selector: value; format of regular css. In this case, the .content-box mixin had a background-color declaration that was being overridden by the backgroud-color line beneath it. Moving the mixin to the bottom broke the override and gave the element the wrong background color.
Errors like this coupled with the extra steps it takes to format every single block of CSS make me think this might not be such a good idea. Has anyone ever tried this type of alignment before? Any opinions on whether this is a good or bad idea? Thanks.
I think your alignment tactic is a good idea, I'd just recommend turning it upside down:
.btn-section {
.content-box;
.border-radius(5px);
position : relative;
top : -65px;
display : block;
z-index : 100;
background-color : #grayButton;
color : #gray;
padding : 10px 0;
}
That way the more general mixin styles would be applied first, after which they may be overridden by selection specific adjustments instead of the other way around.
By doing it like this, you eliminate this risk of accidently overriding specific styles with inherited ones and still keep everything neat and easy to read.

Set the css property of a class based on its visibility property using CSS only

I have a set of div whose visibility is set to either hidden or visible. Based on this css visibility property i need to add the css property on those div, like
<div class="div-class" style="color:#ff0000; margin: 0px 10px; visibility:hidden;">
[Block of Code]
</div>
Now i need to define the following in style.css file.
.div-class:visible {top:10px;left:50px;}
.div-class:hidden {top:0px;left:0px;}
Is this possible???
yes with css attributre selectors you can do it
try the below css:
.div-class[style*="visible"] {
color: green;
}
.div-class[style*="hidden"] {
color: red;
}
What you are trying to do is not "really" possible.
I mean it's ill thought by design in the first place.
Even Vamsikrishna's solution might not work as expected.
If you set the overflow property to hidden via javascript or inline styles, the .div-class[style*="hidden"] rule will apply since the style attribute will contain the hidden string.
Moreover , setting inline styles on html elements is bad practice itself in most cases.
I suggest you try and learn css principles a little more.
I'd do the following:
HTML
<div class="div-class div-hidden">
[Block of Code]
</div>
CSS
.div-class {color:#ff0000; margin: 0px 10px; top:10px;left:50px;}
.div-hidden {visibility:hidden;}
.div-class.div-hidden {top:0px;left:0px;}
Then you can use javascript to toggle the "div-hidden" class.
You can do something using attrchange - a jQuery plugin ,
like this:
Add "attrchange" script into HTML page like
In Javascrip catch event
var email_ver_input = $("input#email_ver_input.verifyInput");
email_ver_input.attrchange({
trackValues: true,
callback: function (event) {
if (email_ver_input.is(":visible")){
$("#inputcode_wrap").show();
}
}
});

CSS "properties of .x" syntax

Is it possible to add additional rules to a css block when using a "{ (properties of x) }" selector?
I looked at references but I can't find anything related to "properties of x". A link would be wonderful. I tried the following two combinations, but neither worked:
.dock li { (properties of grid_2; display:inline; background-color:#666; ) }
.dock li { display:inline; background-color:#666; (properties of grid_2) }
Many thanks!
EDIT
Apparently I misread an article and thought that such a syntax existed. I thought one could create a class and let it inherit the properties of another using such syntax, which is evidently not the case.
CSS does not have such a feature.
What you are describing is not possible. I think there are two other possibilities you could maybe use. The first is, that you need to know that several styles can be applied to an element at the same time. I'll give you an example:
li { font-size: 10pt; }
.dock li { color: #ff0000; }
All list items will be formatted with a font size of 10 points and only those within an element containing the dock class will be red.
My second suggestion is that you try applying two or more classes to your HTML element, for instance:
.grid li { font-size: 10pt; }
.dock li { color: #ff0000; }
Now put the grid and dock class into your HTML, and the elements will apply both style definitions:
<ul class="grid dock"> ...
Whatever you consider best for your project: remember that the properties defined in the second style overwrite the properties of the first one (if they do not define the same properties at all, there will be no confusion).
maybe your question is not too strange..
What I understand is that you want to do something like:
.a { prop1: val; prop2: val; }
.b { prop3: val; prop4: val; }
.c { .a; .b; prop5: val; prop6: val; }
You want the class .c to inherit all the properties and values of .a and .b
If this is ok, you can do that using LESS.
To use your LESS code in your sites you have different ways to do it.
First of all check the original site: LESS.org
If you are on Mac check this site: LESS APP + PLUGINS
If you are on PC the less.js plugin should be easier to implement LESS in your sites: less.js usage
Hope it helps.
Happy coding y'all! :)

Sifr3 - Is it possible to override CSS styling with parent selector?

I would like to override setting that already defined with selecting
parent selector but I don't know how.
Say, there are 2 pages on a website like the following...
-Home page-
<body><h1 class="sifr">Home</h1></body>
-About page-
<body class="about"><h1 class="sifr">About</h1></body>
then, I have these in sirf-config.js...
sIFR.replace(fontname, {
selector: 'h1.sifr',
css: '.sIFR-root { color: #666666; font-size:29px; }'
});
sIFR.replace(fontname, {
selector: 'body.about h1.sifr',
css: '.sIFR-root { color: #FFFFFF; font-size:29px; }'
});
but it doesn't work...
If anybody help me I would appreciate.
Run the replacements for body.about h1.sifr before h1.sifr. sIFR doesn't calculate specificity but executes the replacements in-order. Replacing h1.sifr replaces all such elements, so body.about h1.sifr only finds elements that have already been replaced.
Check the order your loading CSS vs issuing the replace commands ...
I don't use Sifr, so I don't know exactly how it works. I assume that the code creates CSS code like this:
h1.sifr { color: #666666; font-size: 29px; }
body.about h1.sifr { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 29px; }
If it does, that will override the color style for the heading in the about page, as the selector for the second line is more specific than the selector in the first line.
You can read more about specificity here.
If it doesn't work, it's because there is something in your code that doesn't look like you think it does, and it may very well be something in some other part of your code that you haven't shown here that is causing the problem.
You can use the Firebug plugin in Firefox to inspect the elements in the page to see exactly which css is affecting each element.
