Hey so I have a bunch of tabs made up of like this:
<li><h6>Tab1</h6></li>
<li><h6>Tab2</h6></li>
<li><h6>Tab3</h6></li>
<li><h6>Tab4</h6></li>
<li><h6>Tab5</h6></li>
<li><h6>Tab6</h6></li>
There are all horizontally aligned with display: table-cell;
The problem is that some of them have text that wraps onto a second line, and the hover state when I mouse over an item isn't going to the full height of the row.
You can see the table I'm refering to on this site here: http://perennial.chkpt.com.au/invest-with-us/
You can add :hover style on li instead of a.
Example: apply this style for the website you provided
li.ui-state-default.ui-corner-top:hover {
background: red;
}
I have been having some trouble centering some items on my website.
The items in question are in the passphrase generator (images and text elements in the dark box). I have tried the usual margin:auto, all the different display properties, text-align, align-self, align-content and align-items. None worked.
I was also wondering if anyone knew how we could get the text element under our images isntead of to the right, this is the code used for the generator.
All help is appreciated
A p tag is a block element, so the default width is 100%. This is why you have one element per line
#passphraseBilder {
text-align: center;
display: block;
}
#passphraseBilder p {
display: inline-block;
}
Turn the p tag into inline or inline-block, and it will work ;-)
Have a look to the difference between block and inline: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_blocks.asp
Try this:
#passphraseBilder {
display:inline-block;
width:100%;
}
Note: I have just added the properties which you should add or overwrite. Existing properties has to be there.
I have a code that i can only edit the CSS and the JS. The problem is that the page loads a default css that cannot be altered but you can run an alternative css and JS to add content to a page and modify the css. So i guess the css that is loaded overrides the default one. But the problem is that you can't just say
a:hover {
background-color: red;
}
You would have to reset background color with none and add underline and stuff.
so how can i tell my css to put my *:hover important over any else and remove the default hover?
The css may be too nested. Adding an !important tag would help. But it's more semantic to follow the train of elements. Right click the element you want to style. When you're looking at the editor, you'll see the specificity on the right side (where the css is) and then you can copy the selector they have. Using this selector should allow you to overwrite any styles necessary.
Far top right of the image. The .container is the overall class used here. In some cases you may see something like. (From Foundation)
.top-bar-section li:not(.form) a:not(.button)
Add following in your CSS and make sure you load it after default CSS.
a:hover {
background-color: NONE !important;
}
Using Javascript
$('body').append('<style>a:hover { background-color: none !important; }</style>');
I created a JSFiddle, please view.

I am having trouble targeting css on hover function for nested div. In the code example, how I can have the following target a specific div
div id=”nav1″ display div id=”section5″
div id=”nav2″ display div id=”section6″
Currently, parent div id=”nav” displays div id=”section5″
If there is a better method, please let me know.
Thank you
You need to change your HTML structure a little, removing the parent .nav to make #nav1, #nav2, #section5 and #section6 "siblings". Then use the siblings CSS selector to target what you want:
CSS:
#nav1:hover ~ #section5,
#section5:hover {
display: block;
}
#nav2:hover ~ #section6,
#section6:hover {
display: block;
}
FIDDLE: https://jsfiddle.net/lmgonzalves/9965yanr/6/
EDIT:
Add float and anothers properties that .nav had, with some adjusments that you can improve. See the working demo: https://jsfiddle.net/lmgonzalves/9965yanr/8/

How to reset/remove CSS styles for a specific element or selector only
(17 answers)
Closed last month.
I know this question was asked before, but before marking it as a duplicate, I want to tell you that my situation is a little different from what I found on the internet.
I'm building and embedded script that people can put it on their sites. This script creates a div with a certain width/height and some information in it.
My problem is that some websites declare styles for div that are inherited by my div as well.
for example:
div{
background-color:red;
}
so if I don't set any background color to my div, it will show red even if I don't want that.
The only solutions I come along is to overwrite as many css proprieties, this way my div will show exactly as I want.
The problem with this solution is that there are too many css proprieties to overwrite and I want my script to be as light as it can be.
So my question is if you know another solution to my problem.
It can be in css/javascript /jQuery.
Thanks
"Resetting" styles for a specific element isn't possible, you'll have to overwrite all styles you don't want/need. If you do this with CSS directly or using JQuery to apply the styles (depends on what's easier for you, but I wouldn't recommend using JavaScript/JQuery for this, as it's completely unnecessary).
If your div is some kind of "widget" that can be included into other sites, you could try to wrap it into an iframe. This will "reset" the styles, because its content is another document, but maybe this affects how your widget works (or maybe breaks it completely) so this might not be possible in your case.
Only set the relevant / important CSS properties.
Example (only change the attributes which may cause your div to look completely different):
background: #FFF;
border: none;
color: #000;
display: block;
font: initial;
height: auto;
letter-spacing: normal;
line-height: normal;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-transform: none;
visibility: visible;
width: auto;
word-spacing: normal;
z-index: auto;
Choose a very specific selector, such as div#donttouchme, <div id="donttouchme"></div>. Additionally, you can add `!important before every semicolon in the declaration. Your customers are deliberately trying to mess up your lay-out when this option fails.
You could try overwriting the CSS and use auto
I don't think this will work with color specifically, but I ran into an issue where i had a parent property such as
.parent {
left: 0px;
}
and then I was able to just define my child with something like
.child {
left: auto;
}
and it effectively "reset" the property.
Technically what you are looking for is the unset value in combination with the shorthand property all:
The unset CSS keyword resets a property to its inherited value if it inherits from its parent, and to its initial value if not. In other words, it behaves like the inherit keyword in the first case, and like the initial keyword in the second case. It can be applied to any CSS property, including the CSS shorthand all.
.customClass {
/* specific attribute */
color: unset;
}
.otherClass{
/* unset all attributes */
all: unset;
/* then set own attributes */
color: red;
}
You can use the initial value as well, this will default to the initial browser value.
.otherClass{
/* unset all attributes */
all: initial;
/* then set own attributes */
color: red;
}
As an alternative:
If possible it is probably good practice to encapsulate the class or id in a kind of namespace:
.namespace .customClass{
color: red;
}
<div class="namespace">
<div class="customClass"></div>
</div>
because of the specificity of the selector this will only influence your own classes
It is easier to accomplish this in "preprocessor scripting languages" like SASS with nesting capabilities:
.namespace{
.customClass{
color: red
}
}
Try this: Create a plain div without any style or content outside of the red div. Now you can use a loop over all styles of the plain div and assign then to your inner div to reset all styles.
Of course this doesn't work if someone assigns styles to all divs (i.e. without using a class. CSS would be div { ... }).
The usual solution for problems like this is to give your div a distinct class. That way, web designers of the sites can adjust the styling of your div to fit into the rest of the design.
As long as they are attributes like classes and ids you can remove them by javascript/jQuery class modifiers.
document.getElementById("MyElement").className = "";
There is no way to remove specific tag CSS other than overriding them (or using another element).
you may use this below option.
<style>
div:not(.no_common_style){
background-color:red;
}
</style>
now , if their any place where you do not want to apply default style you can use 'no_common_style' class as class.
ex:
<div class="no_common_style">
It will not display in red
</div>
From what I understand you want to use a div that inherits from no class but yours. As mentioned in the previous reply you cannot completely reset a div inheritance. However, what worked for me with that issue was to use another element - one that is not frequent and certainly not used in the current html page. A good example, is to use instead of then customize it to look just like your ideal would.
area { background-color : red; }
One simple approach would be to use the !important modifier in css, but this can be overridden in the same way from users.
Maybe a solution can be achieved with jquery by traversing the entire DOM to find your (re)defined classes and removing / forcing css styles.
