I really like a div box that is styled a particular way on another webpage.
I'd like to incorporate the box into my website.
Is there a simple way that I could get the div box on my site? (I feel like I'm going to have understand the entire CSS file before I can make something similar, that is why I am asking).
Usually it is not that hard.
Try out firefox and some extensions:
firebug
webdeveloper
They can help you with highlighting the needed css code.
Just play around a bit with it.
You don't have to understand the whole site CSS by yourself, let the computer do its job.
Get some inspection tool like Firebug (for Firefox) or Dragonfly (for Opera) and see which rules are applied to the box you want and its inner elements. This way you may easily rip only the required rules (just copy and paste non-striked-out ones from the right part of the CSS pane in case of Firebug).

I have this little problem. I am trying to fix the style of a website by examining the css using Firebug (in firefox).
The thing is that i can't figure out where this specific style is at because it appears in some

Obviously this seems to me something that is being created by the DOM?
I am attaching an image. Take a look at it and you will get a better picture of what i am asking here.
Thanks

I am building a site using Drupal 7 and have run into a CSS issue. I am trying to wrap everything on this registration page in the center and at the same time reduce the width of the drop down buttons. I believe I've narrowed the problem to my logintobaggan (drupal module) css sheet. But the button "widths" seem to be from the foundation.min.css (according to chrome elements). How would you guys approach this CSS problem? I am relatively new, so please don't be too harsh ;). Thanks!

I would get Firebug or similar in-browser development tool, select the element you are interested in seeing the CSS properties for, and then see exactly which rules are being applied or overridden. You can even modify the CSS right there in the tool until you get want you want.
From such a tool, I can see that the button widths are not explicitly defined, but are basically derived from the amount of padding (5px) around the text string inside the button.
The rules are defined starting on line 41 of this file:

Think I know the answer to this one, but just thought there may be some genius out there whos know of a way to do this...
Basically I am making a site editor kind of thing and it would be amazingly handy if I could replicate the way Firebug and the Chrome console highlights elements when you hover over their code in the html/elements tabs of those inspectors...
Its not something I can do with background effects because that does not highlight the whole Div (the contents show above the highlight) and I don't think there is anyway of making a div overlay over the top of all the content but have it not block mouseovers on underlying elements...
Anyone any ideas? Is there any browser specific code that achieves this kind of thing?
In general, Firefox extensions are mostly JavaScript. Since Firebug is BSD licensed, you can browse its source code on its project site. Maybe you'll find the relevant code and get an idea how to solve your specific task.
You could add an outline in CSS on mouseover - that would highlight the element without changing its position, as outline does not effect layout. A box-shadow would also work similarly.
In fact, it looks to me like Firebug adds a dark bluish box-shadow to elements to highlight them.
I have built a context menu but have found annoyingly that when I right click on my site in firefox all text and images just seem to randomly get selected. It is not a JS issue as I have removed all JS from the site. Thinking it must be a css issue. I have never encountered anything like this before...
I don't have an example page to show I'm afraid. Has anyone experienced this before in Firefox. I am using the latest FF4.
Cheers Guys!
*UPDATE:*
Here is a pasting of the pure html from the page that is having issues,
http://jsbin.com/aneja4/3/edit
did you try to disable all your addons you have installed? maybe one of them is causing the problem.
I have FF 4 but neven encountered this problem before.
And I could be wrong but I don't know of any css code that would be able to select text. it's pure for the design and structure of the site. it will be mostlikely a js problem or something else
I have seen this too... I think it has something to do with the way the site is structured... If you have nexted divs, or a div that does not quite cover the entire page, a right click on the parent div seems to select everything in the nested div. It's quite annoying... especially when trying to build a custom context menu, or use the default menu to refresh the page...
Any fixes/changes that we should know about for FF that is causing this? I'm using FF4 and XP (yeah, yeah... corp. system)

It's likely a problem with your HTML layout that firefox is struggling to work with. But without seeing any code, it's not possible to speculate any further down that path. #JDF's suggestions may help you, though.
If you can't work it out, and can't live with it, you could just disable the ability to select text.
In Firefox (and other standards-compliant browsers), you'd use the CSS user-select: none;.
See this question for more info on how to achieve this: How to disable text selection highlighting using CSS?
This is most likely caused by having a contentEditable element on your page. Any element (other than body it seems) that contains editable content will be highlighted/selected when you right click on it in Firefox (4.0 and 5.0 is all I can confirm). If everything on your page is wrapped in a div it'll appear that the whole page is selected. If you (can) right-click somewhere on the body the regular context menu should work.
Although I can't see any instances of contentEditable in your code on jsbin, it could be added by a script that I can't see (possibly even modernizr?).
I think this is related (although it doesn't match exactly)

http://aloha-editor.org/ exhibits the same behaviour when right-clicking anywhere inside the #wrapper div.
Hello
I have quite a strange problem using quicktabs. I used the framework theme to develop a custom look for my site. I used quicktabs in the center content area to create a tabbed look for placing links within the body. Everything is working fine. However, when I view the site in IE8 at a resolution if 1024*768, I have trouble with a few links. It seems that sometimes the first link under my buttons are difficult to click. The link is there - I can actually click it, but it is very difficult to locate - it only appears at the very beginning of the link text - it is not the first letter, it seems to be only the first pixel.
I looked at the source and everything seems to be correct - I can't figure out what could be wrong.
Has anyone seen any similar behavior that might be able to point me in the right direction for a fix for this?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Edit - I looked further into it and I think it has something to do with my CSS. I disabled css in ie8, and every link is clickable, even the ones that were difficult to locate earlier. I guess there must be an overlapping of containers or something, so I will have to start messing around with those files.
It sounds like a CSS thing, have you inspected the elements in question using the developer tools (press F12) to see whats going on?
I found the solution. In the style.css file for my theme, the .block had position: relative; applied to it. removing that bit of themeing appears to have fixed the link issue.
Thanks
