I've a CSS question. I'm using Rails 3.0 and trying to design a site of mine. I found this anoying problem previously also but now is the time to find a solution.
The situation: I set up a CSS like this:
* {margin: 0;padding: 0;}
body {background-color: #1d1122; font:12px/18px Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif #fff; width: 100%;}
a {color: blue; outline: none; text-decoration: underline;}
a:hover {text-decoration: none;}
p {margin: 0 0 18px}
img {border: none;}
input {vertical-align: middle;}
#wrapper {width: 955px; margin: 0 auto;}
/* Header
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#header {background: transparent url(../images/header.jpg) no-repeat; height: 413px;}
#navigation {background: transparent url(../images/menu_bg.jpg) no-repeat; height:36px;}
/* Middle
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#middle {width: 100%; height: 1%; position: relative;}
#middle:after {content: '.'; display: block; clear: both; visibility: hidden; height: 0;}
#container {background: transparent url(../images/main_bg.jpg) no-repeat; width: 100%; float: left; overflow: hidden;}
#content {padding: 0 270px 0 0;}
/* Sidebar Right
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#sideRight {float: left; margin-right: -3px; width: 313px; margin-left: -313px; position: relative;}
/* Footer
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#footer {background: transparent url(../images/footer.jpg) no-repeat; height: 63px;}
/*Content
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#prediction_box {width:290px; height:200px; position:relative; background-color:#392b3f; border: 1px solid #000; margin: 25px 25px 40px 40px;}
When I start to write something on my index page, this wont be 12px Arial as I set in the body tag. The wierness starts if I wan't to have the text in white.
body {font-color:#fff; background-color: #1d1122; font:12px/18px Arial, Tahoma, Verdana, sans-serif #fff; width: 100%;}
If I use the font-color:#fff; than nothing happens. However if I use font: #fff 12px/18px etc... than suddenly the texts will be Arial 12px but still in black!
Can you explain how is this possible?
Looking forward your answears,

CSS does not define a font-color property. You'll need to use the color property as so: color: #fff; in order for the foreground colour (font colour) to become white.

This absolutely positioned pseudo-element has a position:relative parent. We should expect its border styles to be applied, but they are not. Why?
:root {
--color-border: #E5E5E5;
--color-background: #FFFFFF;
}
.tooltip {
position: relative;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 16px;
border: 1px solid var(--color-border);
background-color: var(--color-background);
}
.tooltip::after {
position: absolute;
top: 11px;
right: 100%;
left: -8px;
display: block;
width: 8px;
height: 16px;
pointer-events: none;
content: "";
clip-path: polygon(0 50%, 100% 0, 100% 100%);
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: var(--color-border);
background-color: #ffffff;
}
.tooltip-hard-coded {
position: relative;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 16px;
border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
background-color: #ffffff;
}
.tooltip-hard-coded::after {
position: absolute;
top: 11px;
right: 100%;
left: -9px;
display: block;
width: 8px;
height: 16px;
pointer-events: none;
content: "";
clip-path: polygon(0 50%, 100% 0, 100% 100%);
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: red;
background-color: pink;
}
<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column">
<div style="padding: 32px;">
<div class="tooltip">With CSS variables</div>
</div>
<div style="padding: 32px;">
<div class="tooltip-hard-coded">With hard-coded values</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="tooltip">Hi</div>
no border with the following CSS:
:root {
--color-border: #E5E5E5;
--color-background: #FFFFFF;
}
.tooltip {
position: relative;
border-radius: 3px;
padding: 16px;
border: 1px solid var(--color-border);
background-color: var(--color-background);
}
.tooltip::after {
position: absolute;
top: 11px;
right: 100%;
left: -8px;
display: block;
width: 8px;
height: 16px;
pointer-events: none;
content: "";
clip-path: polygon(0 50%, 100% 0, 100% 100%);
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: var(--color-border);
background-color: var(--color-background);
}
when hard-coding a border color value, the pseudo-element only gets the style partially applied:
<div class="tooltip-hard-coded">With hard-coded values</div>
with hard-coded values:
<div class="tooltip-hard-coded">With hard-coded values</div>
What is the correct way to apply border styles to an absolutely positioned pseudo-element using CSS custom properties?
Tried several variations of the styles applied to pseudo-element; tried hard-coded values, tried changing display methods, etc
On my site, I have a few footer links that are showing the wrong border color for iOS devices when the link is visited. This is happening on Chrome and Safari for iOS.

I searched through my code and I am not setting this style anywhere.
I have tried reproducing this in a fiddle/codepen, but since they don't let you redirect, I can't see what the a:visited looks like for mobile.
Code
.productsalessection {
width: 34%;
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 1%;
padding-bottom: 10px;
float: left;
font-family: Lato, sans-serif;
}
.productsalesbox {
width: 100%;
padding: 14px 12px;
float: left;
border-right: 1px solid #e2e2e2;
}
.productsalesbadge {
width: 80px;
height: 100%;
margin-right: 6px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid #ddd;
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: white;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
display: inline-block;
}
.productsalesheading {
margin-top: 3px;
color: #444;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: 400;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
.productsalestext {
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 14px;
color: #777;
}
<a class="w-clearfix productsalessection" target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com">
<div class="w-clearfix productsalesbox">
<div class="productsalesbadge"><img src="http://www.chicmarket.com/images/SJ.svg">
</div>
<div class="productsalesheading">Trusted</div>
<div class="productsalestext">We proudly maintain a strong relationship with our customers.</div>
</div>
</a>
Changing the color of the a:visited works.
a:visited {
color: #C8C8C8;
}
But this solution is not ideal because this will mess with other a tags on my site.
I have also tried.
a:visited {
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);
}
But instead of making the color transparent, it just makes the border black.
I don't normally post links to external sites, but if you would like to take a look and see the problem for yourself, you can check it out here.
Is there a simple fix for this that doesn't require me to set the a:visited color for each a tag that I have?
Looks like this was only happening to borders of divs inside of <a> tags on mobile. In order to fix this I had to not only set color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0); for a:visited, but I had to select the specific div that had the border.
a:visited .productsalesbadge {
color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);
}
This completely removed the purple visited border I was seeing on mobile.
I have been trying to get my jQuery UI Select dropdown to be aligned on Chrome for some time. Its off by 1px however the list and the parent span.ui-selectmenu-button are both "151px".
All other browsers display it correct.
I've been going through the computer styles one by one but can't find anything.
Its instantiated with the common:
$("#mainlanguage").selectmenu();
And the select box which jQuery uses has basic styling on it. (SCSS)
jquery ui language !select
.mainSearch{
.ui-selectmenu-button {
background:$upsbrown;
outline-style:none!important; // reset
&.ui-state-hover{
border:0;
border-radius:0;
}
border:0;
border-radius:0;
left: 63.3%;
span{
background-color: $upsbrown;
background-position: 93.5% center;
//border-top: 1px solid $navtext;
color: $navtext;
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 18px;
position: relative;
padding-left: 6px;
max-width: 151px;
height: 21px;
z-index: 400;
webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
&:focus{
-webkit-appearance: none;
-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
}
}
}
}
I have a simple scaffold rails application that is doing validataes_presence_of.
The validation is making each textfield bordered. I just want the error messages to be displayed on top.
How can I make these type of changes or color changes to the validation
Rails applications store their CSS in [application_root]/public/stylesheets. A new rails app will have a file called default.css in this directory. This file contains the following:
#errorExplanation {
width: 400px;
border: 2px solid red;
padding: 7px;
padding-bottom: 12px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
background-color: #f0f0f0;
}
#errorExplanation h2 {
text-align: left;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 15px;
font-size: 12px;
margin: -7px;
background-color: #c00;
color: #fff;
}
#errorExplanation p {
color: #333;
margin-bottom: 0;
padding: 5px;
}
#errorExplanation ul li {
font-size: 12px;
list-style: square;
}
If you play about with the values of some of the parameters here - in particular border - you might find something that looks more to your taste.
Have you checked rails guide about validation errors?
I would suggest having a look at Formtastic. Easy to setup, works great with scaffold-type apps and has some nice clean HTML and CSS.
I need a quick solution to getting some decent layout working within the tabnav widget display area. I'm already using blueprint css for other aspects of the layout but I don't have enough CSS chops to figure out how to get blueprint containers to display within the tabnav's content area.
The tabnav's content area is <div class="main_tabnav_content" id="main_tabnav_content">
and this is the related css:
.main_tabnav {
color: #000;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 13px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px;
z-index: 1;
padding-left: 10px }
.main_tabnav ul {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
.main_tabnav li {
display: inline;
overflow: hidden;
list-style-type: none; }
.main_tabnav li span.disabled {
color: #888888;
background: #FAFAFA;
border: 2px solid #DDDDDD;
border-bottom: none;
padding: 2px 5px 0px 5px;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none;}
.main_tabnav a, main_tabnav a.active {
color: #000000;
background: #EEEEEE;
font-weight: bold;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 2px 5px 0px 5px;
margin: 0;
text-decoration: none; }
.main_tabnav a.active {
background: #FFFFFF;
border-bottom: 3px solid #FFFFFF; }
.main_tabnav a:hover {
color: #FFFFFF;
background: #CCCCCC; }
.main_tabnav a:visited {
color: #000000; }
.main_tabnav a.active:hover {
background: #FFFFFF;
color: #000000; }
.main_tabnav_content {
background: #FFFFFF;
padding: 20px;
border:1px solid #ccc;
border-top: none;
z-index: 2;
}
I'd like to be able to put some columns inside the main_tabnav_content area like this
<div class="span-5 colborder">
stuff
</div>
<div class="span-5 colborder">
stuff
</div>
<div class="span-5 colborder">
stuff
</div>
At the moment the columns are displayed but the main_tabnav_content box doesn't expand around them. Any suggestions for how to get the blueprint layout nested inside the main_tabnav_content area?
From Blueprint: screen.css:
.column, div.span-1, div.span-2, div.span-3, div.span-4, div.span-5, div.span-6, div.span-7, div.span-8, div.span-9, div.span-10, div.span-11, div.span-12, div.span-13, div.span-14, div.span-15, div.span-16, div.span-17, div.span-18, div.span-19, div.span-20, div.span-21, div.span-22, div.span-23, div.span-24 {float:left;margin-right:10px;}
.last, div.last {margin-right:0;}
.span-1 {width:30px;}
.span-2 {width:70px;}
.span-3 {width:110px;}
.span-4 {width:150px;}
.span-5 {width:190px;}
and also:
div.colborder {padding-right:24px;margin-right:25px;border-right:1px solid #eee;}
I think if you add this <div class="clearfix"></div> before the end of the main_tabnav_content div it should fix the float problem.
Do you have the css for the span-5 & colborder classes? It sounds like it might be a float problem. Basically what's happening is when you add the columns to the main_tabnav_content div, the div doesn't expand, right?
