I am using the AJAX Control Toolkit Popup Calendar Control in a datagrid. When it is in the footer it looks fine. When it is in the edit side of the datagrid it is inheriting the style from the datagrid and looks completely different (i.e. too big).
Is there a way to alter the CSS so that it does not inherit the style from the datagrid?
Open the page in firefox. However, first, download the firebug extension. Then, right click on the offending version and go down to inspect element.
Firebug is awesome because it let's you navigate the css of any element. You have two options here:
1) Assign the topmost element an css class and work it that way.
or
If that's not an option, you can use firebug to get the xpath to the offending element.
Xpaths look like body/table/tr/td/table/tr[2]
what you want to do with that in css is
body table tr td table tr {
/*css goes here */
}
Option 1 is definitely the better pick. Option 2 is more of a dirty way of getting things
done when things like asp.net doesn't let us have the fine grain of control we want.
It would be really awesome if you used a pastebin and posted the link to your rendered page's html.
It uses the style from the grid, because it's in it. If you want to change it's style, change the style of the control. What do you want it to do?
Here is the pastebin link:

I am using a stylesheet for the grid that I got from Matt Berseth's blog located here:

I am using a similar stylesheet for the calendar that I cannot find the link for anymore.

I am using Kentico 8.2 and running into the issue where I need to have different styles for my forms. I have been able to alter the input attributes without a problem, and thereby create different styling for the forms in the site. However, I cannot get the .FormButton to change style if attached to my CSS for the button, ie .newPage .FormButton { background:red color:white }.
Is there another way to populate a CSS on top of the form button in 8.2 without having to add a class attribute in the code behind?
You don't have to touch the code behind. You can just wrap the form in a div with a CSS class using either content before/after or a web part container and leverage CSS Specificty by creating a more specific CSS selector including your new class (e.g. .myRedForm). The resulting selector would look something like this: .newPage .myRedForm .FormButton { background:red color:white }. The last resort would be using the !important directive which I would rather avoid.
Best way to do this is to render the form on a page and inspect the element by using F12 or FireBug. Either one will allow you to view the source and inspect the elements in order for you to get your selector to style it accordingly.
You can also specify a css class by creating your form layout manually and adding CSS around the button. Not ideal because you'd have to build your forms manually each time.
Im a complete beginner with jquery and need some help please.
Im using jqueryui, Im using the modal form: http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal-form
Ive got this working fine, However I want it so that a regular looking hyperlink can invoke this dialog. Anything I use just appears as the "create new user" like from the example above.
How can I remove all this styling, and just make a regular unstyled hyperlink invoke the dialog
The button's classes are as follows:
.ui-state-default, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-default
You can find these in CSS and change the styles to fit your design :)
OR you can override them by putting them further down teh cascade (Nearer the bottom of teh CSS file) and this will override any default CSS styles.
I found it actually much easier to do something like this:

I am running into this problem where my page loads and then after a fraction of a second the CSS effects or styling takes place.
The main issue I am seeing is with the JQuery tabs that I am using
http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Tabs#source
When the page renders, the tabs show one below the other for a second like this:
One
Two
Three
and then render properly as tabs
Is there a quick and easy way to fix this.
Thanks
It's not the styling; it's the jQuery UI javascript library, which is appending the necessary html to your page so that the tabs can look all pretty-like.
You have a few options. First, you can hide your tabs and display them once jQuery UI has completed its magic. Second, you can style your tabs so they look close enough to the finished output so that the change isn't so noticeable. Third, you can drop jQuery UI and style the tabs with CSS only. All valid approaches, I'd say.
Hope this helps!
EDIT:
For the first option, let's say that this is your div containing the tabs:
<div id="tabs">
...stuff...
</div>
In your stylesheet, hide #tabs:
#tabs {
display:none;
}
Then, modify your jQuery UI call like so:
var t = $("#tabs");
t.tabs({
create:function(){
t.show();
}
});
weirdlover's response almost worked for me (using jQuery 1.5.2), but I had to hook the create event:
var t = $("#tabs");
t.tabs({
create:function(){
t.show();
}
});
Thanks!
Browsers usually load files as they appear in your HTML code. Be sure to put the reference to your CSS file first so it loads as soon as possible.
If the CSS is being applied using Javascript, it's not possible to make it load faster. The Javascript file needs to be loaded before it can be used.
Other than that, I don't think there's a way to control how the browser rendering works.
Is the CSS applied through Javascript? In that case you can add some static CSS that ensures the elements get at least shown horizontally arranged before the javascript is executed, by adding some static CSS.
If it is the case that the browser just decides to apply the CSS after rendering without it, there is not much you can do. It could however be, that the CSS is loaded to slowly (if its an external file), in this case, you could add the most important style to a CSS-section directly in the HTML.
I use the Web Developer Toolbar in FireFox to test CSS-edits. I want to do the same in IE, and I can somewhat do that with IE8's Developer Tool.
However I can't add a style in Developer Tools, only edit existing styles - does any of you guys know of a way to edit the CSS like you can do with Chris Pedericks Web Developer Toolbar?
You can:
add a style attribute (right click the html tag and click add attribute (with the name style, and then edit the style attribute once its added)
Click the CSS tab, right click the empty space, and add a rule (this is like adding a line to your css file)
Adding to what Gabriel mentioned above.
For a quick addition to test and see the effect I do it a bit differently.
With the HTML tab selected choose the "Attributes" panel next to Style, Trace Styes and Layout.
Click the "+" button and begin typing the css style you would like to add. The new style attribute is added automatically in the DOM view panel.
Hope this helps.
I'm on my Mac right now, but I remember running into that.
When looking at the right side of the Developer Tool, you see a list of CSS styles. Above that you see a few 'tabs': Style, Trace Styles, Layout, Attributes. If I remember correctly you can't change them in the style tab. But you can change them in one of the other tabs. You might have to edit them through the style attribute.
You could try firebug lite but it's a little work to get it setup.
Follow following steps:
1. Click on Developers Tool
2. In Html select element for which you want to add css
3. Select attribute tab present on right side
4. Add Name and Value.
Check your style is applied to html element.

The javadoc for GWT specifies what styles you get by default on each of the Widgets:
See ListBox javadoc page, it states that it has the .gwt-ListBox { } style. For this particular style GWT doesn't have any property defined.
Open the css file inside your applications "war" folder and paste .gwt-ListBox { }, then put any CSS property you want to use inside that style, like .gwt-ListBox {
color: red;
}
You should probably notice that ListBox is using a select HTML element (have a look at the generated HTML code), and AFAIK you cannot style the color of the arrow, as it is browser dependent.
If you really need to do that you are going to have to try more complicated things like the ones suggested in here, but this involves doing some javascript hackery.
FWIW, I had a quasi-related problem, which may or may not help you. I needed to be able to set the color of the text in the label of a checkbox programmatically, depending on where the checkbox was in a list of checkboxes and a couple of other factors.
It turned out to be possible to construct the checkbox with some html, roughly like this (sorry, currently away from my code): "new CheckBox(new Html(""));
Hope that helps at all; I don't know for sure that the ListBox enables construction with additional html. And it took a bunch of experimentation to figure out exactly what worked in there. But now it does.
