Ok here is my dilemma. I have a header.php file that contains the header information (navigation and logo) I use that so that I can include the file in each my pages where it is needed and to make for easier editing. The issue I have is that I obviously cannot use :active to color or alter links text so the user knows what page they are on.
How can I achieve what I want with the way I am doing it, or am I stuck doing this the long way. Is there javascript that can do this.
Understand I am new to HTML and CSS and am looking for simple ways to change header and footer without having to edit every page individually.

I don't know how your html looks like, but for example if you have jQuery included and you are using absolute patches in links you could use something like this:
$('a[href="'+document.location.origin+document.location.pathname+'"]').css('color', '#f00');
or if you don't have jQuery and have absolute links you can use something like this:
var a = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
for (i in a) {
if (a[i].href == document.location.origin+document.location.pathname){
// red color
a[i].style.color = '#900'
}
}
Add below CSS to your code. Then apply class to your <a> tags.
1.
/*choose current(active) a tag which has class named niceClass*/
.niceClass a.current {color:red;}
2.
Link Title
Link Title2

Hello I currently have this inline JS on my wordpress navigation menu
login
I was told it is better to use a regular menu item then just give it a class then target the class with some JS. I tried searching for examples but can't find that works for me. Could someone share a sample code to point me in the right direction?
thanks
I think this is what you are told.
var link = document.querySelector(".js-link");
link.addEventListener("click", (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
//do whatever you want hear
console.log("redirect to another page");
});

The way you do will make your code messy, hard to read and maintain. So we should separate html, css and js code. And to make your javascript and style not affect each other when you change your code, you should naming the class which you want to use javascript different with class you want to style.
For example I using class "js-link" just for javascript, not to style it. If I want to style the link I will add another class for it.
I'm trying to modify (by CSS) the dark gray "Contact Us" button that's at the bottom right side of the following site: coloraddicted.com.
This is a button created by an external app, so the code is inaccessible. I only have the following (external) page to refer to for the possibility of finding the right id: https://icf.improvely.com/icf-button.js?v=1479350309&shop=coloraddicted-com.myshopify.com
How can I find the "id" of the specific element in order to apply the
"overriding" CSS to it?
BTW, I have already tried several versions of the id's I see on the above mentioned external page but still haven't found the right one.
I can't remember all of them, but some I have already tried are:
#icf_button
#icf.click_button
#icf_contact_form button {
#icf_contact_form add_button {
Style Contact button by css has no effect, because right after user hover, js code excuted & override on.
You can put js code at the end of the body, to re-override on the library code (not the good way, but have to), example
let contactButton = document.querySelector('#shop-colorful-products-printed-on-demand-just-for-you > div:nth-child(38)');
contactButton.style.backgroundColor = 'white';

If you can't modify the button.js script you linked to, I don't think you can target this (reliably) in CSS. They style everything with that button using inline styles and just append it to body.
You could potentially use :nth-of-type (like https://icf.improvely.com/icf-button.js?v=1479350309&shop=coloraddicted-com.myshopify.com) but that would be super unreliable as I'm assuming you have a bunch of scripts and stuff on the site that dynamically append to the page, creating a variable number of divs as direct descendants of body. FWIW, nth-of-type(13) worked for me.
The element doesn't have an id, so you can't select it that way. But the site appears to be using jQuery, so you could try using :contains() to target the element based on its contents:
$( "div:contains('Contact Us')" ).css( "font-size", "2em" );
But that would target any div containing the text "Contact Us". You can use :filter to select divs that contain only the text "Contact Us":
$("div").filter(function() {
return $.trim($(this).text()) === "Contact Us";
}).css("font-size", "2em");
You could use jQuery to either apply CSS directly, or to give the element an id. This solution is kind of kludgy, but might work in a pinch.
Hi I am trying to get this script to toggle back to original CSS external stylesheet.
I have the following code that works.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#css-master2").click(function() {
$("link[title=change]").attr({href : "css/master2.css"});
});
});
Whenever someone clicks on anything with id #css-master2 it changes the external style sheet to master2.css (that part works fine).
What I would like it do is change back to the original master1.css if they click on it again. Something like toggle?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Check for the link tag's href, if it equals master2, switch back to master1 like the same way above.
Can't think about why you'd do this, considering the exact thing can be done using css classes instead of two different files.
We've got a little tool that I built where you can edit a jQuery template in one field and JSON data in another and then hit a button to see the results immediately within the browser.
I really need to expand this though so the designer can edit a full CSS stylesheet within another field and when we render the template, it will have the CSS applied to it. The idea being that once we've got good results we can take the contents of these three fields, put them in files and use them in our project.
I found the jQuery.cssRule plugin but it looks like it's basically abandoned (all the links go nowhere and there's been no development in three years). Is there something better or is it the only game in town?
Note: We're looking for something where someone types traditional CSS stylesheet data in here and that is used immediately for rendering within the page and that can be edited and changed at will with the old rules going away and new ones used in their stead. I'm not looking for something where the designer has to learn jQuery syntax and enter in individual .css("attribute", "value") type calls to jQuery.
Sure, just append a style tag to the head:
$("head").append("<style>p { color: blue; }</style>");
See it in action here.
You can replace the text in a dynamically added style tag using something like this:
$("head").append("<style id='dynamicStylesheet'></style>");
$("#dynamicStylesheet").text(newStyleTextGoesHere);
See this in action here.
The cleanest way to achieve this is by sandboxing your user-generated content into an <iframe>. This way, changes to the CSS won't affect the editor. (For example, input { display:none; } can't break your page.)
Just render out your HTML (including the CSS in the document's <head>, and write it into the <iframe>.
Example:
<iframe id="preview" src="about:blank">
var i = $('#preview')[0];
var doc = i.contentWindow || i.contentDocument;
if (doc.document) doc = doc.document;
doc.open('text/html',true);
doc.write('<!DOCTYPE html><html>...</html>');
doc.close();
If the user should be able to edit a whole stylesheet, not only single style attributes, then you can store the entered stylesheet in a temporary file and load it into your html document using
$('head').append('<link rel="stylesheet" href="temp.css" type="text/css" />');
sounds like you want to write an interpreter for the css? if it is entered by hand in text, then using it later would be as simple as copy and pasting it into a css file.
so if you have a textarea on your page to type in css and want to apply those rules when you press the button, you could use something like this (only pseudocode, needs work):
//for each css id in the text area
$.each($('textarea[name=cssTextArea]').html().split('#'), function({
//now get each property
$.each($(this).split(';'), function(){
$(elem).css({property:value});
});
});
then you could write something to go through each element that your designer typed in, and get the current css rules for it (including those that you applied using some code like the snippet above) and create a css string from that which could then be output or saved in a db. It's a pain and much faffing around with substrings but unfortunately I don't know of a faster or more efficient way.
Hope this atleast gives you some ideas
I have a search page that is used in multiple places with multiple 'themes' throughout my site. I have a few divs that can have their background color changed based on a radio button selection (whether they are enabled or not). I can do this just fine by changing the css class of the div on the fly with javascript.
However, these themes could potentially change, and the background color is grabbed from a database when the page is created. Right now I do this in the C# codebehind:
string bgStyle = "background-color:" +theme.searchTextHeaderColor +";";
OwnerSearchHeader.Attributes.Add("style", bgStyle);
In the Javascript I need to change this color to make it look disabled, and when the user clicks back to this div I need to re-enable it by changing it back to its original color. But since I only knew this color in the code-behind, I don't know what it was in the Javascript.
So my thought was to create a css class in the resulting HTML page when the page is loaded with the background color I need. Then I could simply switch from the divEnabled and divDisabled class in the javascript. But I'm not exactly sure how to do that.
Alternatively I could create a hidden element, assign it the 'enabled' style, and use that as a reference in the JavaScript when enabling my div. This seems like a hack but maybe its the easiest way. I'm still new to a lot of this, so I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks for the input!

Yes, this is the anser; do this. In the <head> of your document add a <style> and put your CSS in there like so: (my Asp.NET is a little rusty so forgive me if it has some hicups ;) )
<style>
<!--
.divEnabled {
background-color:<%=theme.searchTextHeaderColor%>;
}
.divDisabled {
background-color:gray; /* or wtv */
}
-->
</style>
You could also put it in an external CSS file, which may be a good idea.
Then write some JavaScript to add/remove the class attribute (I'm going to ask that you don't call is the "CSS Class" ;) )
var ownersearchheader = document.getElementById("<%=OwnerSearchHeader.ClientId%>");
// changing the class attribute to `divDisabled`
var newClassAttribute = ownersearchheader.getAttribute("class").replace(/\bdivEnabled\b/, "divDisabled")
ownersearchheader.setAttribute("class", newClassAttribute);
// ... or,
// changing the class attribute to `divEnabled`
var newClassAttribute = ownersearchheader.getAttribute("class").replace(/\bdivDisabled\b/, "divEnabled")
ownersearchheader.setAttribute("class", newClassAttribute);
This is indeed a mouthfull, so, like #Haydar says, you might want to use jQuery, which offers easy-as-pie addClass(), removeClass() and toggleClass() methods.
You can use the jquery .toggleClass method.
Description: Add or remove one or more classes from each element in the set of matched elements, depending on either the class's presence or the value of the switch argument.
