CSS code uses "expression"

I was studying some CSS the other day and ran across some of
the entries using an "expression". For example, padding-left:
expression(3+'px') and height: expression(28+'px'). I did some
searches on the net but didn't find anything helpful.
Can anyone shed some light on what this is and why it's being
used?
Thanks
Tom

It's IE proprietary stuff. Why they would use those exact
ones escapes me,
though.

How to use css code?

Hi, my name alper,
I want to design a web page for my girlfriend. The CSS code to do with them, but I have no knowledge about how much information will be used. please I can do with the edge you please assign a mail program code using Turkish...

You can do this with Edge Code/Brackets but the web design bit is a bit beyond these forums. I'd suggest checking out something like this course - HTML/CSS: Making webpages | Computer programming | Khan Academy - on Khan Academy to get started.

How can I convert my css code into table format?

Wasn't sure how to word the title, but what I am trying to do is post my html code generated with Dreamweaver CS4 into craigslist for an advertisement I designed. Craigslist seems to only accept "TABLE FORMAT". I just learned enough to design this AD using css, now do I have to go back and learn table cell coding? Is there something I am not aware of like a conversion or something that will work?
Thank you very much for any help, I am very anxious to get my ad placed.

Example of the accepted code:
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%" id="table4" align="center">
<tr><td width="125">Contact Name:</td><td>Patrick</td></tr>
You must have an old HTML editor because that isn't INLINE CSS CODE. It's deprecated HTML code. It might work OK on Craig's List... but tags won't pass W3C validation in XHTML doc types.
To express what you have above using inline CSS styles without tables would like this:

If statement in css code

can you write an if statement in your css code that if the name of a particular web page is something, apply one css style otherwise apply another.

No. If statements are used in PHP & JavaScript; not CSS.
Use External style sheets for your site wide styles. Use Embedded CSS for page specific styles inside the document's <head> tags.
<head>
 <style>
 page specific styles go here....
 </style>
</head>

Using expressions in jsf tags

I have a problem with using expressions in jsf tags! I know this
topic was discussed before but it doesn`t work.
I want to use the following jsf-code:
<h:panel_data id="tab" var="vari" modelReference="Bean.varis">
<h:output_text id="Id" modelReference="vari.id"/>
<h:command_hyperlink id="hyper" href="next.jsp" label="Detail">
<f:parameter id="Param1" name="id" value="vari.id"/>
</h:command_hyperlink>
</h:panel_data>
The value of the parameter should have the value of vari.id!! Why doesn`t it work?? I also tried to use value="${vari.id}" and value=<%= vari.id %>.
I have also changed the jsf_core.tld from
 <rtexprvalue>false</rtexprvalue>
to
 <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
Does anybody know what to do? Where should the .tld-files be localized when i deploy the webapplication??

If you want your parameter's value to be pulled from the model, you must
use modelReference instead of value. Try that and see if it works.

Css code for hover and replace image

on my page i would like my visitors to hover over a div that contains text and have an image appear, would need to work in most browsers and not disrupt any other div tags on my page. is there some simple css code to do this?

Initially set the display for the <img> to none, then set it to block/inline in the parent <div> :hover rule.
> not disrupt any other div tags on my page
If you mean you want the image to occupy its space even when it's not shown, you can use visibility: visible/hidden instead.

Modifying CSS code to customize a theme

Hello:
I'm trying to change some CSS code to customize a theme for an application. I make my change, upload, and the change takes into effect. I make additional changes, click Apply Changes, and the changes do not take affect.
I then go back to my CSS file, make the additional changes, upload the file, and the changes do not take into effect.
My issue is that some of the time when I make a change to the CSS code, the changes take into effect. Other times, they do not.
I installed Firebug which lets me print the HTML and CSS code for a page that is being currently viewed on the screen. I reviewed the HTML and found the "id" that I want to change. I make my changes, upload the CSS file, and the changes do not take into effect.
What is the secret with the CSS code in these themes that will not take my changes?
Here's an example of what happens:
I change the background color for a table. I then want to change the font-color. Instead of displaying both changes; my page reverts to the original colors of the theme.
I am at a complete loss. I have experience in CSS coding and I just don't understand why these changes aren't working all the time.
Can someone give me some insight as to the secret of customizing these themes?
Thanks,

Hi,
You can find your uploaded file in the table APEX_APPLICATION_FILES (or HTMLDB_APPLICATION_FILES in older versions of Apex) - search for your css filename in the FILENAME column.
I tend to upload custom stylesheets through Shared Components, Cascading Style Sheets and then replace the existing LINK tag in the page template with:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#MyThemeFileName.css" type="text/css"/>Then, when I need to change the css, I do so using a text editor, delete the file through Shared Components and add in the new version. Sometimes the browser's cache holds an old copy of the stylesheet, but clearing the cache sorts that out. Otherwise, I've not had any problems doing it this way.
The css files you're seeing in your images folder will be referenced within the page templates. As these may be updated with any upgrade to Apex, you should avoid updating these.

Preview css code without html??

I am learning CSS and very slowly.
I would like to know if there is any way that I can "see" if my css code is working the way I want it to.
Since there is no display in CSS , only html, I'm guessing I have to link the CSS to the html in order to see
if the CSS code is working the way I want.
Is there an easier way to "try out" css code?
Perhaps another way to get it to display without linking it to an html file?
Maybe there is another program that will let one "view" css code?
Maybe something online that will do this?
I really could use something like this.
Otherwise, can someone tell me, in the most basic, simple terms, how I can link my Css code page
to an html page, so i can preview if my CSS code is doing what it's supposed to?
thanks!!!!!

I hope this makes sense. thanks again!
Not really. I don't understand the workflow you're attempting.
CSS formats HTML pages. I link one external CSS stylesheet to all my HTML pages then tweak the CSS in the external CSS file and "see" the results of my tweaks on the HTML page I'm actually formatting.
In other words, I preview my changes on the HTML page which is actually linked to the CSS stylesheet.
You seem to be wanting to set up your CSS in isolation to your HTML page then, when you've got it right, you want to apply the CSS to the actual HTML page.
Am I missing something?
These are some of the ways I think might work:
<td>Breakfast..</td>
<td style=”background-color:yellow”>Breakfast...</td>
<td>Breakfast..</td>
<td>Breakfast..</td>
but I need to try them all to see which is the one that will give me the desired result (highlight the word Breakfast in yellow).
You've lost me here I'm afraid. Why not let DW do the coding for you?
e.g. is invalid CSS code. DW will code it for you.
Avoid inline styles <td style=”background-color:yellow”> and s wherever possible. Use them in an emergency only when no other option exists. Otherwise, every time you tweak a color, you have to update every single affected <td> and tag which defeats the reason for using CSS in the first place.
CSS can be applied in several ways. In order of preference:
1) External, linked styesheet (preferred option every time)
2) Embedded stylesheet (rules grouped into the <head> section of a HTML page)
3) Inline styles (CSS inline with the HTML code scattered throughout the page) - emergencies only or where no other options exist such as HTML email formatting
You're starting with option 3) and making life hard for yourself.
It's more powerful and efficient to define a CSS class for a highlighted table cell - in an external stylesheet which is linked to the HTML page:
e.g.
Separate CSS file
td.highlight {
background-color: yellow;
HTML (with CSS file linked to it)
<td class="highlight">Breakfast</td>
You can do this for all highlighted <td>s on all HTML pages on your website - be it one or 1000.
Later, if you want to change yellow to green, you change the CSS rule in the external CSS stylesheet (you don't have to touch the HTML file at all):
td.highlight {
background-color: green;
upload that one tiny stylesheet file to the server and your entire website (all 1000 pages) is instantly updated.

Using expressions in tag ...

Hi,
I am facing a problem while using expressions in tag
in iPlanet4.1.
my code is
<%@ taglib uri="/uri" prefix="myjsp" %>
<myjsp:init param1="<%=avar%>" param2="abd" />
this is working fine in apache.but in iplanet the value for param1 is taken as a string "<%=avar%>" !
is there any solution for this ?
thanks.

I don't know anything about iPlanet, but you might want to check your TLD file and make sure you're not setting rtexprvalue to false for the attribute param1.

CSS code

Using MAC with DW CS4. Sometime back it was possible to view the css code behind a webpage from within Firefox, is that still possible and how with Firefox on a MAC? Or is there another way within Safari.
Thank you.

Get the web developer toolbar for Firefox.

Mark css code in a .php file

I changed my css file extension to php (so that I could
change css properties based on user preferences through php)
Now, DW doesn't mark/highlight my css code.
How can I explicitly tell DW to mark css code in a .php file?
Failing that, is it possible to change css properties in a
.css file dynamically on the server?

I don't think you can.

I find the most practical approach is to use PHP to control
which
stylesheet is linked to the page:
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['css']) && $_SESSION['css'] ==
'pink') {
?>
<link href="pink.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
<?php
elseif (isset($_SESSION['css']) && $_SESSION['css']
== 'blue') {
?>
<link href="blue.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
<?php
else {
?>
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
<?php } ?>

How to break up string of css code properly?

Is there a way to take css code that looks like this mess
(which I got elsewhere) and break it into its legible/workable
parts without going through it and hitting enter after every
closing } ? There are about 1000 lines of this stuff like
this...this is just a small bit of it...is there any easy way in DW
to break it up properly?
Thanks in advance...

Can't retrieve username using expression builder on a run time data control

Here's the scenario:
1. I added a Data Control resource in WebCenter Spaces, which has one paramater to get: username.
2. I added the Data Control in Oracle Composer, and selected the return method to show as a read only form.
3. In adding the Return method, under DC Parameters I have to get the username and place it on my parameter, ie: arg0 = username. arg0 is my data control parameter.
I tried using every possible code there is in the Expression Editor to retrieve the username, but I keep getting null when I test it. I've tried *#{securityContext.userName}*, *#{webCenterProfile[securityContext.userName].userName}*. I also tried creating a page parameter, and use it like this: *#{bindings.myUsername}*, but still won't work. Its always null.
How do I retrieve the username and bind it to the parameter of my data control using expression editor? Please help. Thanks.

Hi ,
I believe this should be posted to Webcenter Portal forum : WebCenter Portal
Thanks
