I am trying to position a horizontal line under a group of tags on an app done on asp.net mvc. I believe I have to do that on the CSS but I just can't seem to find the right way to place such line.
Every time I try, the line ends up at the right of the tags and I don't feel like using a whole bunch of is the right way by far.
<div id="section">
<div style="float:left; margin:20px">
<img alt="Upload" src="/Content/Images/Upload_yellow.png"/>
<img alt="Confirm" src="/Content/Images/Confirm_white.png"/>
<img alt="Review" src="/Content/Images/Review_white.png"/>
</div>
<hr />
</div>
Can somebody orient me in the right direction here?
Ditch the <hr /> and add this change your CSS rule to <div style="float:left; margin: 20px; border-bottom: 1px solid #000;">
If you have multiple floated divs in the section div, put the border rule on that if you want it to extend all the way across and set either overflow:hidden; or overflow:auto so it doesn't collapse (which containers do when they only contain floated elements unless overflow is set). This way you can avoid setting a clear rule or adding extra markup for the line.
<hr style="clear: left" />
Jeff and Joel talked about this in Podcast #4. Specifically, the CSS-extremists would prefer you do that in CSS, but practical concerns override that. Keep it where it is now.

I have padding on images and the padding affects the image link because there is a black line
Style
a:link{background-color:black}
img{padding:20px}
Html
<img src="blank">
So in Simple terms there is a black line coming from the image and I want to get rid of it. I can't get rid of the styled link because I use it for other links
Instead of black, use transparent or none
SNIPPET
.tran {
background-color: transparent;
}
.none {
background-color: none;
}
img {
padding: 20px
}
<a href="#/" class='tran'>
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/o1RbMvI.png">
</a>
<a href="#/" class='none'>
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/o1RbMvI.png">
</a>
If you want specific style for one link, but you don't want it to affect the others or be affected by the others, I would set up a specific class for the links you want to have a background-color: black; and then a separate class for the link that you don't want affected by it. zer00ne provides a sufficient answer for this. Just add class="tran" or whatever you want to name them into your links that you want to be connected together with whatever style you use in .tran{}, as shown in his answer. Play around with grouping things into classes and using the classes to style more specific elements in your CSS. Best of luck!
in css file:
.black{background-color:black;}
img{padding:20px;}
HTML:
<p>
<img src="blank">

I'm trying to have a select menu and a button inline, same width as surrounding lines, see this:
http://jsbin.com/hibatehepe/edit?html,output
Here it's done with field-container, but the select menu should be wider.
Any ideas please?
You can look at this question:
How to make a div to fill a remaining horizontal space?
mystrdat's answer based on this codepen: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/mdoej can work for you.
You basically use float: right to keep the button with a fixed width all the way on the right side, and then select's container automatically fills the available width. (NOTE: I am only using inline CSS to quickly illustrate the answer, you should use CSS classes):
<div class="ui-field-contain">
<label for="b" class="select">Vælg kategori:</label>
<div >
<div style="float: right; padding-left: 0.5em;" >
Tilføj
</div>
<div style="overflow: auto;">
<select size="1" name="b" id="b" data-native-menu="false">
<option value="choose-one" data-placeholder="true">MAKE ME WIDE</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</div>

I want to have an image that stick to the bottom center of the screen. I know I can use <div data-role="footer"> to do it. However the footer has a visible horizontal line on top which I want to get rid off. Any idea how to do it?
The easiest way to do this is to use the built-in jQM footer, which has the data-position="fixed" attribute to make it stick to the bottom. I'm unfamiliar with this horizontal line you say the footer has, but it'll be easy to get rid of just by overriding the default jQM stylesheet. You can view/test-edit the CSS styles using Firebug in Firefox, or the built-in developer tools in any browser.
It should look something like this:
.ui-footer {
/* Use !important to ensure the target style will be overridden! */
border: none !important;
}
And the HTML:
... <!-- rest of page -->
<div data-role="footer" data-id="fixedFooter" data-position="fixed" data-tap-toggle="false">
<img src="path/to/image.png" />
</div>
I am experiencing a very odd bug with Chrome 17.0.963.56. Following is a screenshot:
When the page first renders, the Salutation combobox looks fine. However as soon as you check the checkbox above, the weird image appears. Clicking anywhere on the page then causes it to go away. Unchecking the box causes it to appear again. I tried to repro in jsfiddle, but could not.
I found 2 different ways to make this bug go away. The first has to do with the HTML and CSS structure of the combobox:
<div class="field ui-helper-clearfix #Html.IdFor(m => m.Salutation)-field">
<span class="label">
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Salutation)
</span>
<div class="input">
<div class="combobox">
<div class="text-box input">
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Salutation)
</div>
<a class="text-box down-arrow">
<img class="text-box down-arrow" alt=""
src="/content/icons/transparent.png">
</a>
<div class="autocomplete-menu">
</div>
</div>
<div class="messages">
<div class="top callout border">
<div class="top callout bg">
</div>
</div>
<span class="validation">
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Salutation)
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
.combobox .text-box.input {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 20px;
border-right-color: transparent; /* was border-right-width: 0; */
border-right-width: 0;
border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px 0 0 5px;
}
Basically, the border comes from a div wrapper around the input element. The input itself has no border. For normal text box wrappers, the border radius is 5px. However for the combobox, I override that CSS value to give the top & bottom right corners a radius of zero. This is to make it blend into the drop-arrow element for the combobox.
When I completely remove the right border on the textbox wrapper (using border-right-width: 0;), the anomaly appears. When I instead keep the right border and give it a transparent background color, the anomaly goes away.
However I also discovered that removing /content/themes/base/jquery.ui.all.css made the problem go away. Trial and error led me to the following line in jquery.ui.theme.css:
.ui-widget :active { outline: none; }
When I remove this line, or change it to .ui-widget:active { outline: none; } (note the absence of the space between widget and :active) the problem also goes away -- even with the text box wrapper having a right border width of zero.
This issue does not occur in Firefox, IE, or Safari 5.1.1 (7534.51.22), only in the Chrome version mentioned above. So it seems it could be a Chrome bug.
I have never seen a state selector used with a space like that before. Most of the time, things like :hover, :link, :active, etc, come immediately after the selector. Does the jQuery UI selector above mean "apply outline:none; to all :active elements nested beneath a .ui-widget element"? Or does it mean "apply outline:none; to all :active .ui-widget elements"? If there is no difference by removing the space between .ui-widget and :active, I would prefer that solution over making the text box wrapper right border transparent instead of giving it a width of zero.
Another odd thing is that the Suffix combobox is not affected -- yet it uses the same exact CSS and HTML structure as the Salutation combobox. Weird...
Is there a difference between .ui-widget :active and .ui-widget:active?
There is. .ui-widget :active means "an active successor of an element with the class "ui-widget". .ui-widget:active means "an active element with the class "ui-widget".
Provided that other browsers render this case correctly, I suggest reporting a bug against Chrome (preferably, give a reduced test case): http://new.crbug.com
I was seeing a strange phenomena when using Scriptaculous BlindDown and SlideDown effects, where they would smoothly slide, and then at the very end, they would jump an additional amount, maybe 10% of the slide distance.
I already saw the note on the BlindDown page that you have to be sure not to use padding, which I'd already done.
I was still thinking that this must be my mistake somehow, when I noticed that I see the exact same thing happening on their demo page for Toggle when clicking on either the Blind or Slide demos:
http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/effect-toggle
Firefox 3.6.7, Chrome 6, and Internet Explorer 8 all display this effect on my computer.
So I was thinking about just writing it off and either living with it or cutting the effect out, when I noticed that the page for BlindDown does not display this effect:
http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/effect-blinddown
So there must be a way to make this work. On my page, the jump is occurring whether I directly use BlindDown/Slide or whether I use Toggle.
Has anyone out there used these and managed to do so without this problem? Any ideas on what the secret is?
It's usually due to margin or padding.
The element you're blind-downing mustn't have any margin or padding, or should have margin:0.1% so that contained margins don't collapse through the bounds of the element either. If you do this it'll be smooth as silk.
also - ensure you've set overflow:hidden
Enjoy.
(the other place it'll fall down is if you don't define height. If you do this little incantation before you animate it'll get and set you height without bothering anything else.
elem.setStyle({position:'absolute',visiblity:'invisible'});
elem.setStyle({'height':elem.getDimensions().height+'px'});
elem.setStyle({position:'relative',visibility:'visible'}); //or position:'static'
In my experience, the jumping is just a performance issue, which is effected by the system specs, browser, and complexity of the html content you are toggling. Some browsers like safari and chrome have a pretty good javascript engine making them more efficient.
I see this is happening for you even when using chrome though? Is the html content particularly complex, or your computer overloaded with applications running?
There is definitely a little very well known secret... Have you tried wrapping your content in an extra div container? You should consider this best practice and almost a requirement specifically when using Scriptaculous effects.
For example... Say you want to slideDown or Toggle a login form - and you have::
<div id="login-panel">
<input type="text" name="username" />
<button type="submit" name="send">Login</button>
</div>
All you have to do is add an extra inner div tag::
<div id="login-panel">
<div><!-- extra div here -->
<input type="text" name="username" />
<button type="submit" name="send">Login</button>
</div><!-- close it here -->
</div>
Now when you do something like Effect.toggle("login-panel", 'slide'); the transition should be much smoother and less jumpy. It may seem a little sloppy but it almost always helps. Hope this helps you!!
Keep in mind that when Scriptaculous begins an animation, the container that is being modified will be absolutely positioned and then a record of the height will be taken, similar to what danielsherson mentions. If however the container does not exist within a relatively positioned parent container, then the dimensions of the animating container may change quite drastically. The easiest way to test this is to modify your container using firebug to set the position to absolute. What happens? Did the height change? For the best results, there should be no change in the dimensions of your animating container when switching to absolute positioning. What happens to the rest of your document, such as content moving underneath, will not matter.
The padding/margin issue is a tricky one too since there really isn't a way to prevent the margins from overlapping and creating issues. Best way I found to address this is to set your animating container to float and then use the clearfix hack on a parent container to make sure nothing overlaps.
<body style="margin: 0 auto; width: 300px; position: relative; background: black;">
<div class="parent nonanimating clearfix">
<div class="animating" style="float: left; width: 100%; background: white;">
<div class="apply-your-margins-and-padding-here">
...content...
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="parent nonanimating clearfix">
<div class="animating" style="float: left; width: 100%; background: white;">
<div class="apply-your-margins-and-padding-here">
...content...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Note that the classes are not functional and just for reference to my comments with the exception of clearfix, which is the float clear hack. The backgrounds and widths are only specified to give a better example of what is happening. Add whatever animation you'd like to $$('.animating')
I use this one (there are many), all though it is old and I don't even design for many of the browsers this hack supports..
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
height: 0;
}
.clearfix {
display: inline-block;
}
/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix {height: 1%;}
.clearfix {display: block;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */
I don't think it's a performance issue at all. I'm having the same issue. The ONLY way I've been able to make it not jump is to define a height for the div I'm sliding. I realize that this is NOT a good solution but it's the only one I've been able to find. I've also tried adding the additional div and it had no effect on how the Effect.toggle slide worked.
If anyone else has any more info on this, I'm all ears.
To prevent a Scriptaculous effect from jumping or jerking, remove the 'style' attribute from the element which you are applying the Effect to.
This:
<div id="mydiv" style="padding:10px;margin:10px;">
<button onClick="new Effect.BlindUp('mydiv');" />
</div>
Becomes:
<div id="mydiv">
<button onClick="new Effect.BlindUp('mydiv');" />
</div>
The styling can be placed in a enclosed div like this:
<div id="mydiv">
<div style="padding:10px;margin:10px;">
<button onClick="new Effect.BlindUp('mydiv');" />
</div>
</div>
The problem is caused by Scriptaculous reapplying the element's (mydiv) inline style declarations after the effect has been performed.
I have found success with using position: relative; on the block element using the slide/blind animation. Make sure padding/margins are placed on the child elements and not the slide block element.
