Sharepoint navigation stops working with this script embeded into the page

I am making tabs that change when clicked using Jquery and before and after CSS. When embedded into the SharePoint page the links on the navigation stop working. Everything else works on the page except for the navigation links to the other pages.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$("li").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("li").removeClass("selected");
$(this).addClass("selected");
});
});
</script>
<style>
.tabrow {
text-align: center;
list-style: none;
margin: 50px 0 36px;

}
.tabrow li.selected:after {
box-shadow: -2px 2px 0 #FFF;
}
</style>

You are effectively changing the onclick behavior of every <li> element on your sharepoint page with your javascript.
Try to be more specific with your jQuery selector. For example like this:
$(".tabrow li").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).clostest(".tabrow").find("li").removeClass("selected");
$(this).addClass("selected");
});
Also you might experience problems on production environments, please enclose your jQuery like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".tabrow li").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).clostest(".tabrow").find("li").removeClass("selected");
$(this).addClass("selected");
});
});
This will execute the code, when page is finished loading (not only when code is reached).

How to change tooltip background color?

I have created a tooltip in my html file like this:
<span title="" class="duedate-warning-msg"></span>
And I set the CSS property like this:
.duedate-warning-msg{
background: url("/static/img/error.png") no-repeat scroll 14px 12px white;
border-color: #f5c7c7;
padding: .5em 0.25em 0.5em 2.5em;
title:"my tooltip";
color: #D11006;
}
span:hover{
position:relative;
}
span[title]:hover:after {
content: "This statement is past due.";
padding: 4px 8px;
color: white;
font-size:16px;
font-family: "open_sansregular";
background: #0679ca;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #222;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #222;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #222;
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #cccccc);
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,color-stop(0, #eeeeee),color-stop(1, #cccccc));
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #cccccc);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #cccccc);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #cccccc);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #eeeeee, #cccccc);
}
The above style created tooltip perfectly. Only problem which I am facing is that I want background color of tooltip is blue. But it always shows gray. Why it is happening so?

Remove the background-image and add background, like so:
span[title]:hover:after {
content: "This statement is past due.";
padding: 4px 8px;
color: white;
font-size:16px;
font-family: "open_sansregular";
background: #0679ca;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #222;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #222;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #222;
background: #00F;
}

Easy, in background-image property replace #cccccc with a color of your choice, assuming that you want to keep the fade-to-almost-white (#eeeeee) gradient.

Remove the background image from span[title]:hover:after
Here is the working Demo

Avoid background color from border color

I have a div with a background color of rgba(255,0,0,1), and a border color of rgba(0,255,0,0.2), and a 10px border-radius.
The problem is that the border color have the background color under it.
This is my code:
div{
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,1);
border: 10px solid rgba(0,255,0,0.2);
border-radius: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
article{
margin: 10px;
margin-top: 20px;
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,1);
outline: 10px solid rgba(0,255,0,0.2);
outline-radius: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
<div></div>
<article></article>
I need a border like at the outline.
Saddly I can't use outline instead because it doesn't have "outline-radius" property, only "-moz-outline-radius", but it doesn't work on Chrome.

Use background-clip: content-box; or background-clip: padding-box;
From MDN
The background-clip CSS property specifies whether an element's background, either the color or image, extends underneath its border.
div{
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,1);
border: 10px solid rgba(0,255,0,0.2);
border-radius: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background-clip: content-box;
}
<div></div>

If I understand correctly, you can use box-shadow, which sits outside the border:
div {
background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
box-shadow: 0 0 0 10px rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5);
border-radius: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
/*extra styling*/
margin: 50px;
}
/*Just for demo so you can see the transparency*/
body {
background: #fff url(http://www.destination360.com/north-america/canada/images/s/canada-cn-tower.jpg) repeat;
}
<div>Red half-opacity box-shadow</div>

What you need is the background-clip attribute:
div {
background-clip: padding-box;
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,1);
border: 10px solid rgba(0,255,0,0.2);
border-radius: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
article {
background-clip: padding-box;
margin: 10px;
margin-top: 20px;
background-color: rgba(255,0,0,1);
outline: 10px solid rgba(0,255,0,0.2);
outline-radius: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
<div></div>
<article></article>

Try using two div.
div.outer {
border: 10px solid rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.2);
border-radius: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
div.inner {
background-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>

IE8: element:first-child deosn't work (selects parent of what I actually want)

Works in chrome, not ie8: http://jsfiddle.net/a7rXZ/2/
so, when you click on accepted, decline, or open, it changes the text adjacent to the little click menu (while maintaining styling of the text on the left (this is ideal)). but in IE, it seems to be replacing the parent element (cause the styling of the text doesn't remain the same)
any ideas for how to get this to behave in IE8?
this is the code in question:
$j('.change_option').click(function() {
$j('#change_status_menu').fadeToggle("fast");
$j(".status .status_header span:first-child").attr("class", $j(this).html());
$j(".status .status_header span:first-child").html($j(this).html());
$j('#proposal_status').val($j(this).attr("name"));
unsaved_changes = true;
});

I suspect IE just has a problem with mark-up in class attributes. I wouldn't blame IE though since it's totally invalid. The solution is really a case of making the mark-up cleaner and copying only the relevant sections of text/mark-up from the options to the status header.
I've cleaned up the mark-up a little and re-worked the jQuery to select only the text() and class necessary for manipulating the status-header element. Basically, I've turned the options into an unordered list, rather than using a combination of <div> and <span>. So it might not be exactly what you are after, since I am not sure if you can change the mark-up and I have also removed the the .badge class.
The problems were mainly that the JavaScript was adding HTML content into the class attribute of the .status-header span element, but also a lot of the text in the example was outside any element, so the JavaScript was actually selecting too much content each time. The other problem I could see was that you had already duplicated the mark-up for the secondary status heading, so rather than replacing this HTML each time, it was easier to just extract the one class ('Open', 'Accepted' or 'Declined') and the text of the option.
There is more that can be done to simplify the code, for example the .class and text() being copied to the header are now exactly the same so should be simplified.
Here is a demo which is working for me in Chrome and IE8
For completeness, here is all the code:
HTML
<div class="proposal_status">
<div id="change_status_menu" style="">
<div class="change_status_menu">
<ul class="container">
<li class="Open" name="1">Open</li>

<li class="Declined" name="3">Declined</li>
</ul>

The problem is that you're setting the class attribute with html content. I've done a quick workaround:
http://jsfiddle.net/a7rXZ/4/
Simply changing .html() with .text(). The original returns a value that looks like the following (yes, including all the whitespace):
<div class="badge"></div>
Declined
But you're expecting just the text Declined, which is retrievable by the new version. You might like to consider a slightly stronger tactic (whitespace removal would be a start, but I'm referring to something more rigid), even though for now the new version works.

How to make links look like tabs using html/css?

I have this wireframe I am working from: http://problemio.com/wireframe.pdf
I am trying to make the tabbed items that read like "ongoing discussion | suggested solutions | solution history... " to look tabbed as they are on the wireframe.
So far I am able to use JavaScript to show/hide the correct elements, but what I am not sure how to do is highlight the tab that is active, and how to draw the lines surrounding the tab.
Here is an example of what I have so far:
http://www.problemio.com/problems/problem.php?problem_id=179
Even if I make each link a div, how do I toggle between the styling of those divs?
Thanks!!

If you already have the showing and hiding down and are looking for a non-jQuery option you could try something like this:
http://jsfiddle.net/wqEdj/
It's a basic styling of straight anchor elements.

You're easiest bet will be using jQueryUI Tabs. Example here http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/

Here is a CSS/JS solution that you can run here to see it in action. JQuery is used, but could easily be replaced with standard JS. No images required.
The source of this solution:
https://css-tricks.com/better-tabs-with-round-out-borders/
Another related example with the tabs under the line can be found here: http://codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/JozNqX

$("li").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("li").removeClass("selected");
$(this).addClass("selected");
