Calling a css rule from javascript - javascript

Hi all I was wondering if it is possible through javascript to turn a .png that is accessed through css into a clickable link by call that css rule.
.calendar {
background: transparent url("../cal_icon.png") no-repeat 94px 3px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-right: 2px;
}
This is my css rule that I would like to make my cal_icon.png clickable.
Is this possible?
Please forgive my ignorance in this matter.

As said in comments, you need to add click handler to the element, and css is just for styling
you can take a look at this fiddle, which uses jQuery (onLoad) http://jsfiddle.net/tq92z/
$('.calendar').click(function(){
$(this).css('color','red');
})
there is a css expressions for IE, maybe something else for other browsers (but i can't remember anything now)

but it's not a common practice to do dom manipulations with css

css hover override using only css and JS

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>');

Prevent css interact in a div

I am doing a code that do some js injection of code in page, with JQuery. But in my input that i get in some pages modify it, I am putting all important attributes and define them as !important, but it's impossible to put all the attributes in all the tags.
Someone know how to disable all other css inside a div?
Solution I think:
I found a solution but i don't want to use it. Its eliminate al css from the page, while i am injecting the code after using that code I eliminate my css and code and apply the original code from the webpage
Thanks
If you're using that many !importants you're doing it wrong.
The solution to this problem is to properly organize your css. Important stuff last, because it overrides what was previously styled. Also use your selectors wisely. Example:
<a class="link">Link</a>
.
a:link { color: red; }
.
.
.
.link { color: green !important; } // Nop
a.link { color: green; } // Yup
If you override everything it will work with normal CSS rules on every page. Not what you were hoping for, but it is a solution.
css:
#myInsertDiv {
color: blue;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background: white;
border: 0px;
/* etc you have to restyle EVERY possible value */
}
html:
<div id="myInsertDiv"></div>
The main issue is you have to style every attribute, and reset everything else to a default value.
Or you can insert all the style information into the style attribute on the div, but that is probably doing it wrong too.
If I got you right you can use jQuery for modifying CSS properties on any elements of the page (huh), using something like this $('.Myclass').css('color','#ff0000')

CSS - Extra background image for when the first image doesn't load?

Okay, let's say you have something like this:
<span class="image" style="background-image: url('http://www.example.com/images/image1.png')"></span>
Every CSS tutorial I've ever read has covered the concept of using a background color after the background-image code, which of course takes the place of the image when one is unavailable, but...
How do you specify a backup background-image - one that should be displayed if the image referenced is unavailable? If there's no CSS trick for this, maybe JavaScript could handle it?
In modern browsers you can chain background images and have more than one on each node. You can even chain background-position and background-repeat etc!
This means you can declare your first image (which is the fallback) and then the second one appears over it, if it exists.
background-color: black;
background-image: url("https://via.placeholder.com/300x300?text=Top Image"), url("https://via.placeholder.com/300x300?text=Failed To Load");
background-position: 0 0, 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat, no-repeat;
JFIDDLE DEMO
Simple answer:
You could either nest the span inside another span - with the outer span set to use the backup background image. If the inside span's background isn't available, then you'll see the outside one's
Better, more difficult answer:
You could achieve a similar result in pure CSS, by adding some psuedo content before the span, and then styling that to have the fallback background. However, this usually takes some trial and error to get it right;
Something lile
span.image:before{content:" "; background:url(backup.png); display: block; position:absolute;}
Well, I know that the actual tag has onload, onerror, and onabort events.
You could try loading it in an image, then if that succeeds, use JS to set the background property of the body.
EDIT: Never mind. I like his answer better.
Just declare the preferred default image after your background declaration:
.image
{
background: #000 url('http://www.example.com/images/image1.png') 0 0 no-repeat;
width: xxpx;
height: xxpx;
background-image: url('http://www.example.com/images/image1.png');
}
<span class="image"></span>
idk the dimensions of your img, so they are "xxpx"

remove / reset inherited css from an element [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
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.

Webkit scrollbar dynamic styling

I'm currently styling the scrollbar using Webkit's ::-webkit-scrollbar CSS properties and would like to change these properties on a mousemove event. The problem is that I can't seem to find a way to get to the scrollbar's CSS dynamically.
Is it possible to style the webkit scrollbar dynamically, through javascript (possibly using jQuery)?
There is a nice workaround for this problem, you can add multiple css classes with diffident styles for the scrollbar, and then change the classes dynamically with Javascript.
Example:
.red::-webkit-scrollbar { ... }
.blue::-webkit-scrollbar { ... }
A button that toggles between the classes red and blue:
$("#changecss").on("click", function(){
$(".red,.blue").toggleClass("red").toggleClass("blue");
});
Here is a working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/promatik/wZwJz/18/
Yes, you can do it.
You need to include dynamically css style rule into stylesheet.
And then to change it.
You can do it by this plugin
If you don't need to use jQuery - you can do it by pure Javascript:
link 1
link 2.
But there is cross-browser problems.
Also see Setting CSS pseudo-class rules from JavaScript
If you want to change a scrollbar properties when mouse is over it. You can do it with CSS, here an example http://jsfiddle.net/olgis/7Lg2R/ (sorry for ugly colorset).
If you want to change scrollbar colour if the mouse is over a container then look at this post Style webkit scrollbar on certain state . There are described several ways of doing it, with and without JavaScript.
REMARK: I do not know for which reason none of those example (with CSS neither JavaScript) do NOT work in my Firefox 11 for Mint, but all of them works perfectly in Chrome 18.0.1025.151.
i created page with four tabs each different color set as well as scroll bar
however this only worked by giving class to body tag
body.greenbody::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 10px;
}
body.greenbody::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background-color:rgb(0,50,0);
}
body.greenbody::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background-image:url("../assets/ScrollGreen.png");
}
/
body.bluebody::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 10px;
}
body.bluebody::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
background-color:rgb(0,0,50);
}
body.bluebody::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
background-image:url("../assets/ScrollBlue.png");
}
html
<body id="body" class="greenbody" bgcolor="#202020">
javascript for each tab button(only scroll bar section shown here)
document.getElementById("body").className="greenody";
.........other function()....
document.getElementById("body").className="bluebody";
ScreenShot1 GreenScrollBar Image
ScreenShot2 BlueScrollBar Image
For this you should replace the scrollbar altogether.
It's just a matter of picking whichever one gives you the easiest API.
You can style scrollbars with CSS3, these generally only work for internal scrollbars and not the actual browser main scrollbar. You can also add the MOZ attribute to the following.
::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 10px;
height: 10px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:start:decrement,
::-webkit-scrollbar-button:end:increment {
display: none;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece {
background-color: #3b3b3b;
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
}
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:vertical {
-webkit-border-radius: 6px;
background: #666 url(scrollbar_thumb_bg.png) no-repeat center;
}
Demo: http://geryit.com/lib/custom-css3-scrollbars
Download Source: http://geryit.com/lib/custom-css3-scrollbars/custom-css3-scrollbars.zip
you can make a <style> tag with id="scrollbar_style" and then add css inside it dynamicly like this :
document.getElementById('scrollbar_style').innerHTML = '::-webkit-scrollbar{width:15px;}';
just remember that using innerHTML on an element WILL NOT JUST ADD your new code, it WILL ALSO DELETE whatever was inside that element.
problem solved.
you can define a function in JavaScript with your own css.
function overFlow(el) {
el.style.cssText = "overflow: auto;";
}
using in html:
<style>
::-webkit-scrollbar{display = none;}
</style>
<div id="overFlow" onclick="overFlow(this);">Something</div>
