Need to override CSS style for link

I've set up a page with an external style sheet. I have a
link within a heading that I want to look different from my CSS
link style (I want it to match the heading). Is there a way to
override the basic style? I tried setting up a class and that
didn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Clearly there is a typo there. It should be either this -
.heading a:link {
(leading dot for heading - no SPACE after the colon)
or this -
#heading a:link {
depending on whether there is a custom class or an ID
selector being used to
identify the container for the link.

Multiple CSS Styles For Links

I know it's common to create multiple styles for all the
fonts on a website but how can I create multiple styles for links
where one if you hover it'll turn red and another link it'll turn
blue?

Over writing CSS style for links

I've set up a style sheet for the site I'm building which
works great. But we want to have the link style on just one of the
pages different from the rest of the site.
I thought I could just over write it in the styles for that
page to create the look we want. Unfortunately it won't let me do
that and goes back to the site link style.
Is there a simple way to overwrite this style for just the
one page?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

[svn] 4285: Exposed TLF' s new textJustify property on ParagraphElement as a CSS style for Gumbo components .

Revision: 4285
Author: [email protected]

Log Message:
Exposed TLF's new textJustify property on ParagraphElement as a CSS style for Gumbo components. It works with TextBox, TextGraphic, TextView, and components that use these primitives. When text is fully justified, this property determines whether the extra pixels are added between words or between any characters.

Hello xhpx,
In your media queries your changing the .gridContainer but the #LayoutDiv1 is the same. The reason the color goes away is the media query for mobile sizes doesn't have the background color. Though I would remove #LayoutDiv1 from any media query since it doesn't need to change.

hope this helps.

CSS styles for a row

I want to include some css style for a row inside a table(which fetches results from database.)CSS style works for the table but not for the row inside.Pls help.
Here is my code:(inside php script)
echo "<table align=\"center\" class=\"studinfo\">
        <tr class=\"studinforow\"><td>Name:</td><td>".$row['Name']."</td></tr>
        <tr class=\"studinforow\"><td>Exam No:</td><td>".$row['Examno']."</td></tr>
        <tr class=\"studinforow\"><td>Roll No:</td><td>".$row['Rno']."</td></tr>
        <tr class=\"studinforow\"><td>Semester:</td><td>".$row['Sem']."</td></tr></table>";
CSS code:
.studinfo {
    margin-top: 20px;
    background-color: #E9F9FC;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    width: 350px;
    font-family: Sintony;
    font-size: 13px;
    line-height: 22px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #AEE8F4;
    height: 150px;
.studinforow {
    padding: 25px;

I don't think padding works on the <tr> tag so you may find you need to add it to the <td> tag:
<td class=\"studinforow\">Semester:</td><td class=\"studinforow\">".$row['Sem']."</td>
You could just add the padding like below instead on every <td> tag:
.studinfo td {
padding: 25px;

Using Column Value in CSS Style for Column in Report

I am trying to apply a CSS style (background color) to a column in a report based on another column.
So for the Column attributes for a specific column, I would like to be able to add this to the 'CSS Style' Field under the group, "Column Formatting":
background-color:#BKG_COLOR#;
It doesn't seem to be taking my column value, which is #daf2ea
In the CSS Style Field, if I change it to: background-color:#daf2ea - then it works.
So it doesn't seem to take my column value of #BKG_COLOR" in the CSS Style field.
Any ideas? Do I need to use the 'HTML Expression' field instead, and how would I do that?
Thanks,
John

Hi,
that's correct, custom report templates will do.
I find them sometimes quite limited, though. And I always ask myself "how would I do it without APEX", because there's often a lean jQuery solution that affords less coding.
If you employ a so called "marker class" that depends on your colour value, you could begin like in the previous answer and enter the follwing into HTML Expression:
<span class="#BKG_CLASS#">#THE_COLUMN_I_WANT_TO_SHOW#</span>
That means you would not query a plain color, but some name that can act as a CSS marker, like
select THE_COLUMN_I_WANT_TO_SHOW
, case when THE_COLUMN_I_WANT_TO_SHOW > 100 then 'hotColor' else 'coldColor' end as BKG_CLASS
from my_tableIn the page's Function and Global Variable Declaration, you'd enter
function colorMyReport () {
apex.jQuery('.hotColor').closest('td').css('background-color','#FAA');
}And under Execute when Page Loads, you enter:
colorMyReport();There's only one challenge, of course, when the report is paged via AJAX, because the script would only run once (on the first page shown).
But if this is a solution for you, I'd be pleased to show you how to overcome this. Just let me know.
Hope there is no typo in my typing, because I have to catch my train now :-)

CSS Style Sheet Link Recursive Error?

I am trying to link a css style sheet to a new root file. When I try to link the css sheet I get an error - A recursive style import was found while trying to add Check Magazine.css. Please resolve this error by editing the file in an external text editor and try again.
What does this mean? I looked up recursive style everywhere and there is no explanation. I don't know how to fix. The answer I found on these forums mentioned an @import statement error but I dont even have any @import statemensts in my style sheet this style sheet is part of the Getting Started tutorial on this website.
@charset "utf-8";
#container{
width: 968px;
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
overflow: hidden;
This is my code, can you help?

This is my index.html code, I am so lost as to what to do to get rid of this stupid error. My style sheet is not linked so of course it is useless and I have to code on both documents since the code doesnt show up automatically on the Style sheet when I add something to the index page

How do I fix my CSS styles in linking and working right on my copied HTML and CSS files?

How do I properly link my CSS styles to my HTML file? (It's a single page website with a spry drop down menu, which somehow doesn't show when I hover over the buttons). I am using a copied file from the original because it was originally saved on my school computer so I had to relink everything.
When I click to see the CSS styles it says: 'sprymenubar.js'mis not on the local disk
When I click "get," it says the spry is not in a defined site. It says this for all my CSS styles.

My guess without seeing your code is that you're linking to files:/// on your hard drive instead of the local site folder. This would explain the problems you describe. When this happens, it's almost always because the site is not properly defined in DW's Site > Manage Sites panels:

Why are my inline css styles for BC tags being ignored and just default to blue underlines?

I am familiar with inline css styling for email campaigns and have always customised links in emails with the code I sent:
however Im puzzled why this code doesn't work with BC tags {tag_viewinbrowser} and {tag_unsubscribe}, any help would
be great as I think the default blue links look ugly.
This is my code: <a href="" style="color:#78787c; text-decoration:underline;">{tag_viewinbrowser}</a>
All other links I have styled appear as they should, its just BC tags where the style seems to be ignored?

You can put <style>span#unsubscribe a{color:red;}</style> code in your newsletter html that can address the DOM that is specific to those links. BC is adding it's own anchor tags for those links so your style isn't touching it. Rewrite your tag to look like this. <span id="unsubscribe">{tag_unsubscribe}</span> . That with the style code will solve your problem.

Any way to single out unused CSS styles, for deletion?

Any way to gather a list of all CSS styles in a given
stylesheet that are no
longer being used by any files in a given website, so they
can be purged?

Please submit this to the development team -
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
However, if you have so many custom classes that you have to
worry about
this, then you are not using CSS effectively -
In general, you don't need many custom classes. And, in fact,
they
make your life more difficult when you come back to maintain
the page a year
later. As Micha said, use ID selectors and create descendent
selector
rules, for example -
#maintable { .... }
#maintable td { .... }
#maintable td table { ... }
each of those rules would apply explicitly to a) this table -
<table id="maintable">,
and b) this cell -
<table id="maintable">
<tr>
<td>...</td>
</tr>
</table> (and all others in that table),
and to this table -
<table id="maintable">
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Then you could use this rule -
#maintable table td.special { .... }
to apply to this cell explicitly -
<table id="maintable">
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td class="special">this one</td>
<td>but not this one</td>
<td class="special">this one</td>
<td>but not this one</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Make sense?

How do I create more than one CSS style for text links?

Hello,
Just like the title says, I need help with creating more than one CSS text link style in Dreamweaver CS4. For instance, I want the navigation on the website I'm building to have a different text link style than a link in some part of the body copy. I've been playing with Dreamweaver for a while and can't find any way to do this. If it's even possible to do this, I would really appreciate any help.

Yes it is possible but as you have failed to provide a valid link to your site, I will tell you in general Terms:
1) First create a class or an ID to to your Nav bar;
2) Now style your navbar in such a way that these styles will only apply to your nav bar. To do this, you start your style by doing something like this:
ul#vavigation {.........}
ul#navigation a {.........}
ul#navigation a:hover {.........}
ul#navigation li {.........}
your html code might look like this:
<ul id="navigation">
<li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
etc etc .........................
</ul>

Change CSS styles for Acces Web App

Here's the problem, the #s4-mini-header needs to be set to display:none so the SharePoint header is not shown. Ideally this would be conditional based on group membership (i.e. Site Owners would see the section, for read only it would be hidden)
I need to block the "Open in Access" option allows people with read only access to open my database on their local systems. We're publishing a "member" price list and do not want someone to be able to download the whole list
and share it with our competitors.
I've seen quite a few posts on this without solution. The most common is that "MS is aware of the issue".
I should be able to hid it in CSS if I can find the file and edit it. It appears to be using the minimal.master mater page. SharePoint designer is not allowed to open the site, is this something I need Visual Studio to do?
I've been given a deadline of today to make the site available for our partners so it looks like they'll get the Options header..
Thanks for any help!

I have found a KLUDGE that solves this particular problem. Unfortunately it impacts all of the access websites served by that IIS server.
The problem is that the default.aspx page created when the Access Web App is published has the MasterPageFile value set to point to a file named minimal.master located in \15\TEMPLATE\GGLOBAL. That file is loaded by the default
page. I couldn't find the default.aspx file to edit so I did the next best thing: I modified the minimal.master file.
To repeat, the one big gotcha is that changing the file at that location applies the change to ALL access web apps on the IIS server.
I added style="display:none !important" to the first s4-pr div and the banner was removed.
A more elegant solution would have been to edit the default.aspx file but I couldn't find it. If someone comes up with a better way to do this please post it!
Thanks for all who helped!

Overrides on Styles for Imported files

I am importing word docs into InDesign to apply formatting and layout but it is applying overrides to the styles. Is there a way to import without overrides?

If you're doing a lot of this kind of thing it might be worth you looking at Anne-Marie Concepcion's excellent online tutorial, "Using Word and InDesign Together".

When I advertise a link for potential customers, the link does not light up so that the customer can just click on link and be direct to my website. Why? What do i need to do in order for links to light up?

When advertising, I put my link in so that potential customers can just click on link and be automatically directed to my website. My links are not lighting up so that they can be directed to my website. Why?

Do you mean sending email?
Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

JTextPane - Need to override TAB insert for traversal

I am using the JTextPane for HTML support. I want the TAB key to default to traversing components instead of inserting tabs or spaces. For JTable and JTextArea I was able to clear the focus traversal keys and they correctly defaulted to the standard component method (i.e., Tab traverses components)
setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, null);
setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, null);
This works for JTextPane when using plain content ("text/plain") but not HTML content ("text/html"). I assume it is because of the default editor that is installed in each case, but i can not figure out how to change the behavior or the editor (e.g., HTMLEditorKit).
Any help would be geatly appreciated.

I did a quick test using method 1 on a JTextPane without HTML and it seemed to work. I'll let you test it when it's using the HTMLEditorKit:
     This example shows two different approaches for tabbing out of a JTextArea
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TextAreaTab extends JFrame
     public TextAreaTab()
          // Replace the Tab Actions (this is the solution I prefer)
          JTextArea textArea1 = new JTextArea(5, 30);
          textArea1.setText("1\n1\n3\n4\n5\n6\n7\n8\n9");
          JScrollPane scrollPane1 = new JScrollPane( textArea1 );
          getContentPane().add(scrollPane1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
          InputMap im = textArea1.getInputMap();
          KeyStroke tab = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("TAB");
          textArea1.getActionMap().put(im.get(tab), new TabAction(true));
          KeyStroke shiftTab = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("shift TAB");
          im.put(shiftTab, shiftTab);
          textArea1.getActionMap().put(im.get(shiftTab), new TabAction(false));
          // Reset the FocusManager
          JTextArea textArea2 = new JTextArea(5, 30);
          textArea2.setText("2\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6\n7\n8\n9");
          JScrollPane scrollPane2 = new JScrollPane( textArea2 );
          getContentPane().add(scrollPane2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          textArea2.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, null);
          textArea2.setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, null);
          // (we don't want the scroll bar to receive focus)
          scrollPane2.getVerticalScrollBar().setFocusable(false); // for tabbing forwards
          scrollPane1.getVerticalScrollBar().setFocusable(false); // for tabbing backwards

               manager.focusNextComponent();
               SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
