Let's consider there is a style sheet in an html page as shown below
#main {
display: block;
width: 500px;
}
#content {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
now I have a situation where I have to update the CSS rule of #main meaning I have to add some css attributes like color, background etc.
So the Style sheet in my html page should be updated like shown below:
#main {
display: block;
width: 500px;
color: #333;
background: #fff;
}
#content {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
I can use jQuery css to add CSS rules as shown below
$('#main').css('background','blue');
//but this is not adding #main in <style></style>
//output of above jquery code is:
//<div id='main' style="background: blue"></div>
What I need is for it to add css attributes to a rule in the style sheet (i.e., #main in <style></style>)
I am developing a code editor which is why I face such a problem.
it took me a long time but finally here we go: DEMO
if we click on the #main element the style tag will get changed using the function that we just defined, so if we get the text of the script tag before the function it will be:
<style>#main {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height:200px;
background-color:#000;
}
#content {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
</style>
and then after the function is called it will be:
<style>#main {
display: block;
width: 500px;
height:200px;
background-color:#000;
color:#FFF;
}
#content {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
</style>
The Function:
//*styleElem* is the target style tag
//*elemToChange* is the target element that we want to change inside the style tag
//*cssRule* is the new CSS rule that we want to add to the target element
function addCSSToStyleTag(styleElem,elemToChange,cssRule){
var oldStyle=styleElem.text(),
theElement=elemToChange,
position=oldStyle.indexOf(theElement),
cssToBeAdded=cssRule,
closingBracketIndex=oldStyle.indexOf('}',position)-1,
newStyle=oldStyle.substr(0,closingBracketIndex)+cssToBeAdded+oldStyle.substr(closingBracketIndex,oldStyle.length);
styleElem.text(newStyle);
};
$('#main').one('click',function(){
addCSSToStyleTag($('style'),'#main','color:#FFF;');
});
I think you cannot explicitly catch css rules inside the current style, but as a work around you can append another style to the head with the new rules, it will override the existing rules as follows :
var newCss = "<style>#main{
display:block;
width:500px;
color: #333;
background:#fff;
}
#content{
border:1px solid #ccc;
} </style>";
$("head").append(newCss);
Try this
var style="#main{display: block;
width: 500px;
color: #333;
background: #fff;"};
$('style').append(style);
This is assumed that you have only one <style> tag in page
You can apply hardcore css to perticular div...Like this
$('#main').css("background":"blue");
I have some html data coming from database dynamically. In some of the html the div is properly closed and some records the the div inside is not properly closed with .
I put these things into a jquery tab but when the unended div comes the tab stop working. I want something in which the the open div's will be ended dynamically.
If you have access to the HTML before it's rendered then it's easy: you let jQuery chew it for you. Example:
jQuery("<div>Hello <span>Sir</span>")[0].outerHTML;
Will give you:
<div>Hello <span>Sir</span></div>
So if you are able to get the received HTML in a variable "dbStringName" before it's inserted into the tab so just do
var myCleanedUpHTML = jQuery(dbStringName)[0].outerHTML;
and put that in your tab.
You might want to look into making sure the html that is put into the database is all closed properly to begin with.
Or you could use javascript's indexof to check if the div is properly closed, and if not, add a closing div.
Something like:
if (!dbStringName.indexOf("</div>") > -1){
//add div here
}
use this css to table using div
.containerDiv {
border: 1px solid #3697f6;
width: 100%; display:table
}
.rowDivHeader {
border: 1px solid #668db6;
background-color: #336799;
color: white;
font-weight: bold; display:table-row
}
.rowDiv {
border: 1px solid #668db6;
background-color: #cee6fe;
display:table-row
}
.cellDivHeader {
border-right: 1px solid white;
display: table-cell;
width:12%;
padding: 1px;
text-align: center;
}
.cellDiv {
border-right: 2px solid white;
display: table-cell;
width:10%;
padding-right: 4px;
text-align: center;
border-bottom: none;
}
.lastCell {
border-right: none;
}
This may be overly simple and I'm just missing it, but: I've created a simple random string generator that is constrained to characters used in the creation of Hex codes, then it applies that hex color to the background color of a div. I have also used some stock-css to make the div into a Hexagon. The problem here is I can't figure out how to change the CSS of the div's before and after elements.
I assumed it might be something along these lines:
document.getElementsByClassName('hexagon')[0].style['border-top'] = "25px solid" + randomStr + ";";
But it's coming back as undefined.
My jsfiddle so far: JSFIDDLE
It's not possible. However you could do something like this:
document.getElementsByClassName('hexagon')[0].className = "hexagon new_style";
Then in css:
.new_style:after {
border-top:25px solid #00f;
}
Although this doesn't include randomStr;.
However, if you don't use :after and just make border-top apply to the class, you can do this:
document.getElementsByClassName('new_style')[0].style['border-top'] = "25px solid "+ randomStr+";";
Instead of using peudo-elements you can use regular divs. Define your markup like this:
HTML
<div id="boxBefore" class="hexagonBefore" onclick="getColorHex()"></div>
<div id="box" class="hexagon" onclick="getColorHex()"></div>
<div id="boxAfter" class="hexagonAfter" onclick="getColorHex()"></div>
CSS
.hexagon {
width: 100px;
height: 55px;
background: #000000;
position: relative;
}
.hexagonBefore {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 50px solid transparent;
border-right: 50px solid transparent;
border-bottom: 25px solid #000000;
}
.hexagonAfter {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 50px solid transparent;
border-right: 50px solid transparent;
border-top: 25px solid #000000;
}
And then simple change the color of all 3 elements:
JavaScript
var colorBox = document.getElementById("box");
colorBox.style.backgroundColor = randomStr;
var colorBoxBefore = document.getElementById("boxBefore");
colorBoxBefore.style.borderBottomColor = randomStr;
var colorBoxAfter = document.getElementById("boxAfter");
colorBoxAfter.style.borderTopColor = randomStr;

Is there any way of getting rounded corners on the outline of a div element, similar to border-radius?
I had an input field with rounded border and wanted to change colour of focus outline. I couldn't tame the horrid square outline to the input control.
So instead, I used box-shadow. I actually preferred the smooth look of the shadow, but the shadow can be hardened to simulate a rounded outline:
input, input:focus {
border: none;
border-radius: 2pt;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 1pt grey;
outline: none;
transition: .1s;
}
/* Smooth outline with box-shadow: */
.text1:focus {
box-shadow: 0 0 3pt 2pt cornflowerblue;
}
/* Hard "outline" with box-shadow: */
.text2:focus {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 2pt red;
}
<input class="text1">
<br>
<br>
<input type=text class="text2">
I usually accomplish this using the :after pseudo-element:
of course it depends on usage, this method allows control over individual borders, rather than using the hard shadow method.
you could also set -1px offsets and use a background linear gradient (no border) for a different effect once again.
body {
margin: 20px;
}
a {
background: #999;
padding: 10px 20px;
border-radius: 5px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #fff;
position: relative;
border: 2px solid #000;
}
a:after {
content: '';
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 2px solid #ccc;
}
Button
Similar to Lea Hayes above, but here's how I did it:
div {
background: #999;
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
border: #999 solid 1px;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 15px;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1px #fff inset;
}
<div></div>
No nesting of DIVs or jQuery necessary, Altho for brevity I have left out the -moz and -webkit variants of some of the CSS. You can see the result above
Use this one:
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1px red;
I wanted some nice focus accessibility for dropdown menus in a Bootstrap navbar, and was pretty happy with this:
a.dropdown-toggle:focus {
display: inline-block;
box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px #88b8ff;
border-radius: 2px;
}
Visit Stackoverflow
We may see our wishes soonish by setting outline-style: auto It's on WebKits radar: http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/198062/webkit
See ya in 2030.
You're looking for something like this, I think.
div {
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #CCC;
height: 100px;
width: 160px;
}
Edit
There is a Firefox-only -moz-outline-radius properly, but that won't work on IE/Chrome/Safari/Opera/etc. So, it looks like the most cross-browser-compatible way* to get a curved line around a border is to use a wrapper div:
div.inner {
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #CCC;
height: 100px;
width: 160px;
}
div.outer {
display: inline-block;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
border-radius: 10px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>

Firefox 88+: border-radius
From April 2021 you will be able to use a simple CSS for Firefox:
.actual {
outline: solid red;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.expected {
border: solid red;
border-radius: 10px;
}
In Firefox 88+,
<span class="actual">this outline</span>
should look like
<span class="expected">this border</span>
Current behaviour in Firefox 86.0:
Webkit: no solution
Using outline-style: auto will tell the «user agent to render a custom outline style»: see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/outline-style(.
Webkit-based browsers will then draw the outline over the border, when you use outline-style: auto. It's difficult to style it properly.
.actual {
outline: auto red;
border-radius: 10px;
}
.expected {
border: solid red;
border-radius: 10px;
}
In WebKit browsers (Chrome, Edge),
<span class="actual">this outline</span>
should look close to
<span class="expected">this border</span>
Current behaviour in Chrome 89.0:
More information
From Firefox 88 (to be released April 20 2021), outline will follow the shape of border-radius.
The current -moz-outline-radius will become redundant and will be removed.
See MDN's entry about -moz-outline-radius:
From Firefox 88 onwards, the standard outline property will follow the shape of border-radius, making -moz-outline-radius properties redundant. As such, this property will be removed.
(Feb 2023)
As far as I know, the Outline radius is only supported by Firefox and Firefox for android.
-moz-outline-radius: 1em;
I just found a great solution for this, and after looking at all the responses so far, I haven't seen it posted yet. So, here's what I did:
I created a CSS Rule for the class and used a pseudo-class of :focus for that rule. I set outline: none to get rid of that default light-blue non-border-radius-able 'outline' that Chrome uses by default. Then, in that same :focus pseudo-class, where that outline no longer exists, I added my radius and border properties. Leading to the following
outline: none;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 2px solid maroon;
to have a maroon-colored outline with a border radius that now appears when the element is tab-selected by the user.
If you want to get an embossed look you could do something like the following:
.embossed {
background: #e5e5e5;
height: 100px;
width: 200px;
border: #FFFFFF solid 1px;
outline: #d0d0d0 solid 1px;
margin: 15px;
}
.border-radius {
border-radius: 20px 20px 20px 20px;
-webkit-border-radius: 20px;
-moz-border-radius: 20px;
-khtml-border-radius: 20px;
}
.outline-radius {
-moz-outline-radius: 21px;
}
<div class="embossed"></div>
<div class="embossed border-radius"></div>
<div class="embossed border-radius outline-radius">-MOZ ONLY</div>
I have not found a work around to have this work in other browsers.
EDIT: The only other way you can do this is to use box-shadow, but then this wont work if you already have a box shadow on that element.
Chrome 94.0+
I tested it in chrome 94.0 and it seems that the outline property honors the border-radius now.
.outline {
outline: 2px solid red;
}
.border {
border: 2px solid red;
}
.outline-10 {
border-radius: 10px;
}
.border-2 {
border-radius: 2px;
}
.outline-2 {
border-radius: 2px;
}
.border-10 {
border-radius: 10px;
}
.outline-50 {
border-radius: 50%;
}
.border-50 {
border-radius: 50%;
}
.circle {
display: inline-block;
width:50px;
height: 50px;
}
<strong>Test this in chrome 94.0+</strong>
<br/><br/>
border-radius: 2px
<span class="outline outline-2">outline</span>
<span class="border border-2">border</span>
<br/><br/>
border-radius: 10px
<span class="outline outline-10">outline</span>
<span class="border border-10">border</span>
<br/><br/>
border-radius: 50%
<span class="outline outline-50">outline</span>
<span class="border border-50">border</span>
<span class="outline circle outline-50">outline</span>
<span class="border circle border-50">border</span>
As others have said, only firefox supports this. Here is a work around that does the same thing, and even works with dashed outlines.
.has-outline {
display: inline-block;
background: #51ab9f;
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 5px;
position: relative;
}
.has-outline:after {
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 5px;
border: 2px dashed #9dd5cf;
position: absolute;
content: '';
top: -2px;
left: -2px;
bottom: -2px;
right: -2px;
}
<div class="has-outline">
I can haz outline
</div>
No. Borders sit on the outside of the element and on the inside of the box-model margin area. Outlines sit on the inside of the element and the box-model padding area ignores it. It isn't intended for aesthetics. It's just to show the designer the outlines of the elements. In the early stages of developing an html document for example, a developer might need to quickly discern if they have put all of the skeletal divs in the correct place. Later on they may need to check if various buttons and forms are the correct number of pixels apart from each other.
Borders are aesthetic in nature. Unlike outlines they are actually apart of the box-model, which means they do not overlap text set to margin: 0; and each side of the border can be styled individually.
If you're trying to apply a corner radius to outline I assume you are using it the way most people use border. So if you don't mind me asking, what property of outline makes it desirable over border?
COMBINING BOX SHADOW AND OUTLINE.
A slight twist on Lea Hayes answer
I found
input[type=text]:focus {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 1pt red;
outline-width: 1px;
outline-color: red;
}
gets a really nice clean finish. No jumping in size which you get when using border-radius
There is the solution if you need only outline without border. It's not mine. I got if from Bootstrap css file. If you specify outline: 1px auto certain_color, you'll get thin outer line around div of certain color. In this case the specified width has no matter, even if you specify 10 px width, anyway it will be thin line. The key word in mentioned rule is "auto".
If you need outline with rounded corners and certain width, you may add css rule on border with needed width and same color. It makes outline thicker.
I was making custom radio buttons and the best customisable way i've found is using pseudo elements like this: Codepen
/*CSS is compiled from SCSS*/
.product-colors {
margin-bottom: 1em;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}
.product-colors label {
position: relative;
width: 2.1em;
height: 2.1em;
margin-right: 0.8em;
cursor: pointer;
}
.product-colors label:before {
opacity: 0;
width: inherit;
height: inherit;
padding: 2px;
border: 2px solid red;
border-radius: 0.2em;
content: "";
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
background: transparent;
top: -4px;
left: -4px;
}
.product-colors input {
position: absolute;
opacity: 0;
width: 0;
height: 0;
}
.product-colors input:checked + label:before, .product-colors input:focus + label:before {
opacity: 1;
}
<div class="product-colors">
<input type="radio" name="cs" id="cs1" value="black">
<label for="cs1" style="background:black"></label>
<input type="radio" name="cs" id="cs2" value="green">
<label for="cs2" style="background:green"></label>
<input type="radio" name="cs" id="cs3" value="blue">
<label for="cs3" style="background:blue"></label>
<input type="radio" name="cs" id="cs4" value="yellow">
<label for="cs4" style="background:yellow"></label>
</div>
clip-path: circle(100px at center);
This will actually make clickable only circle, while border-radius still makes a square, but looks as circle.
The simple answer to the basic question is no. The only cross-browser option is to create a hack that accomplishes what you want. This approach does carry with it certain potential issues when it comes to styling pre-existing content, but it provides for more customization of the outline (offset, width, line style) than many of the other solutions.
On a basic level, consider the following static example (run the snippent for demo):
.outline {
border: 2px dotted transparent;
border-radius: 5px;
display: inline-block;
padding: 2px;
margin: -4px;
}
/* :focus-within does not work in Edge or IE */
.outline:focus-within, .outline.edge {
border-color: blue;
}
br {
margin-bottom: 0.75rem;
}
<h3>Javascript-Free Demo</h3>
<div class="outline edge"><input type="text" placeholder="I always have an outline"/></div><br><div class="outline"><input type="text" placeholder="I have an outline when focused"/></div> *<i>Doesn't work in Edge or IE</i><br><input type="text" placeholder="I have never have an outline" />
<p>Note that the outline does not increase the spacing between the outlined input and other elements around it. The margin (-4px) compensates for the space that the outlines padding (-2px) and width (2px) take up, a total of 4px.</p>
Now, on a more advanced level, it would be possible to use JavaScript to bootstrap elements of a given type or class so that they are wrapped inside a div that simulates an outline on page load. Furthermore, event bindings could be established to show or hide the outline on user interactions like this (run the snippet below or open in JSFiddle):
h3 {
margin: 0;
}
div {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.flex {
display: flex;
}
.clickable {
cursor: pointer;
}
.box {
background: red;
border: 1px solid black;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 5rem;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
text-align: center;
color: white;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0.5rem;
margin: 1rem;
}
<h3>Javascript-Enabled Demo</h3>

In closing, let me reiterate, that implementing this approach may require more styling than what I have included in my demos, especially if you have already styled the element you want outlined.
outline-style: auto has had full browser support for ages now.
Shorthand is:
outline: auto blue;
This let's you set a custom color, but not a custom thickness, unfortunately (although I think the browser default thickness is a good default).
You can also set a custom outline-offset when using outline-style: auto.
outline: auto blue;
outline-offset: 0px;
you can use box-shadow instead of outline like this
box-shadow: 0 0 1px #000000;
border-radius: 50px;
outline: none;
Try using padding and a background color for the border, then a border for the outline:
.round_outline {
padding: 8px;
background-color: white;
border-radius: 50%;
border: 1px solid black;
}
Worked in my case.
I just set outline transparent.
input[type=text] {
outline: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
border-radius: 10px;
}
input[type=text]:focus {
border-color: #0079ff;
}
I like this way.
.circle:before {
content: "";
width: 14px;
height: 14px;
border: 3px solid #fff;
background-color: #ced4da;
border-radius: 7px;
display: inline-block;
margin-bottom: -2px;
margin-right: 7px;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px 1px #ced4da;
}
It will create gray circle with wit border around it and again 1px around border!
I am having global css file contains below code
#menu_left
{
color: #004080;
width: 225px;
margin: 0px;
border-style: solid solid none solid;
border-color: #ffffff;
border-size: 1px;
border-width: 1px;
}
#menu_left li a
{
color: #222222;
height: 26px;
voice-family: inherit;
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff;
background-color:#D3D7D9;
font-size:12px;
font-family:tahoma;
}
#menu_left li a:link, #menu_left li a:visited
{
color: #222222;
display: block;
padding: 8px 0 0 10px;
border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff;
background-color:#D3D7D9;
font-size:12px;
font-family:tahoma;
}
#menu_left li a:hover
{
color: #222222;
padding: 8px 0 0 10px;
border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff;
font-weight:normal;
background-color:#B9C4CA;
font-size:12px;
font-family:tahoma;
}
as of now i assigned #menuleft id to my div which contains li's(list tag) and each li tag having one anchor tag.
all my li's will come in the left side panel as list .once i selected any li it should display some css styles and other should have the above css.
i have written one js function to toggle these css changes on selection and un slection .
but hover css is not applying if do like below ...
function setSelected(selID)//selId is ID for anchor tag in selected li item
{
//contains all list of anchor tag id's
var anchorID=['usersAnchor','securityAnchor','passPolAnchor','activeSessAnchor'];
for(i=0;i<anchorID.length;i++)
{
if(selID!=anchorID[i])
{
var div = document.getElementById(anchorID[i]);
div.style.fontWeight = 'bold';
div.setAttribute('style','color: #222222;height: 26px;voice-family: inherit;text-decoration: none;border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff;background-color:#D3D7D9;font-size:12px;font-family:tahoma;');
}
else
{
var div = document.getElementById(selID);
div.style.fontWeight = 'bold';
div.setAttribute('style','color: #FFFFFF; display: block; padding: 8px 0 0 10px; border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff; background-color:#718296; font-size:12px; font-family:tahoma;');
}
}
can any one help me how can i get all css properties in such way that it should work for selection hover and normal while toggeling selection?

In your setSelected you are overwriting the bold style right after you set it.
That said, you can deal with css a lot more comfortably.
Instead of setting the css right at the node level, why not use what css was invented for?
You can set a a selected class and in your code just toggle the className
.selected {
color: #222222;
height: 26px;
voice-family: inherit;
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff;
background-color:#D3D7D9;
font-size:12px;
font-family:tahoma;
}
And a simple JS function takes care of the class swapping:
function setSelected(selID) {
var anchorIDs = {
'usersAnchor': true
'securityAnchor': true
'passPolAnchor': true
'activeSessAnchor': true
};
var div = document.getElementById(selID),
className = div.className;
if (anchorIDs[selID] === true) {
div.className = className.replace(/\s+(selected)/, " selected");
} else {
div.className = className.replace(/\s+(selected)/, "");
}
}
Use jQuery to make your work simpler!
Instead of using this:
div.setAttribute('style','color: #FFFFFF; display: block; padding: 8px 0 0 10px; border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff; background-color:#718296; font-size:12px; font-family:tahoma;');
When you use jQuery, it will be easy and cross browser compatible. You can do the same using this way:
$('div').attr('style','color: #FFFFFF; display: block; padding: 8px 0 0 10px; border-bottom: solid 1px #ffffff; background-color:#718296; font-size:12px; font-family:tahoma;');
Or
$('div').css({
'color': '#FFFFFF',
'display': 'block',
'padding': '8px 0 0 10px',
'border-bottom': 'solid 1px #ffffff',
'background-color': '#718296',
'font-size': '12px',
'font-family': 'tahoma'
});
The .css attribute from jQuery can be used! :)
I recommend using .css from jQuery API.
Please see this fiddle. Is this the effect you are going for? It uses jQuery to make the Javascript easier, but switches the styles by toggling a CSS class instead using jQuery's .css() method. There are two reasons for this… The first is that you should separate your code by purpose. HTML should be content, CSS should be styles, and Javascript should be used for logic only (you shouldn't put content or styles in your Javascript if possible). The second reason is that it's much easier to use Javascript to switch a class than to switch styles.
