How do we use just CSS to achieve the effects shown in this image: http://i.stack.imgur.com/smWmQ.gif (I'm sure that image is created with CSS because I visited that site with images disabled in Chrome)
Here is a simple very efficient way of doing it.
Fiddle
UPDATE:
Here is an example:
the html
<div>
<span class='tip'></span>
</div>
the css
div {
height: 30px;
width:50px;
}
.tip {
display:block;
width:1px;
heigth:20px;
border-left: 30px solid #fff;
border-right: 30px solid #fff;
border-top: 25px solid #F00;
}
There is something similar I took from the jQuery Ketchup plugin.
The CSS looks like this:
.box span {
border-color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.6) transparent -moz-use-text-color;
border-left: 0 solid transparent;
border-right: 15px solid transparent;
border-style: solid solid none;
border-width: 10px 15px 0 0;
display: block;
height: 0;
margin-left: 10px;
width: 0;
}
.box ul {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.6);
border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
color: #111111;
font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 16px;
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
text-align: left;
}
The according HTML:
<div class="box">
<ul>
<li>Content</li>
</ul>
<span></span>
</div>
Also have a look at the JSFiddle.
The triangle you see is just a box, often with no size, with really degenerate and different border-widths. For example to make an upward-pointing triangle, you would make a make a box like so:
top
_____
left| / \ |right
|/___\|
bottom
The box has no size, a top-border-width of 0, and non-zero values for the other widths. The border-color of the left and right and top are transparent, so you can't see those triangles. All you can see is the bottom border.
Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/NnGyv/
Unfortunately, you cannot use percentages with border widths, or else you could achieve a reusable CSS class definition.
Most browsers can do this automatically with HTML5 validation. You won't have much control over how it looks but it's 1000x easier to code and works without Javascript.
If you want more visual control there's jQuery Tools Validator. Although this uses Javascript it should fall back to HTML5 if Javascript is disabled.
The original site may be using HTML5.
HTML5 has some pretty neat features for client-side form validation. This looks very much like Chrome's take on an input box with the "required" attribute set. You'll also note a placeholder (another HTML5 attribute).
jsFiddle example. You can find out more information from Dive into HTML5.

This will be a question that is hard to exmplain but please keep an open mind.
My experiment:
I have a div that contains some content and this div is hidden on load.
So now i have an element that when it is clicked shows the content of the div.
What I want:
I want to create a underline that has a small falling down break in the middle and when i click on this it will give me the desiered show/hide effect.
My css skills are nothing to brag about and I honestly dont even know where to start.
Image that might clarify:
How do I do this?
If you don't need to support older browsers you can create a triangle with borders like so:
.nav-item::after {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
border-top: 20px solid #000;
}
obviously would need moving about to fit where you want it.
If you need to support older browsers however, you can just absolutely position a triangle image to appear under the nav item.
try this
.arrow-down {
width: 0;
height: 0;
border-left: 20px solid transparent;
border-right: 20px solid transparent;
border-top: 20px solid #f00;
}
.class:after{
content:"";
border:10px solid transparent;
border-top-color:red;
}
So I am trying to add a custom style to the select2 jquery plug, it is a tag like multi selector plugin. The way that select2 renders selected "tags" guides my css rules to try and style. select2 renders a <div> containing the selected tag text followed by an <a> to remove that selected tag if the user desires.
I want the close btn and the tag text to look like one block. I have it almost where I want but you can see that the <a> element and the div element vary in height by a pixel or two. I thought maybe this was a display:inline versus display:block issue but I have tried setting both the elements to display:inline-block with no luck, here is a jsfiddle, just select both option1 and option2 to see my issue:
http://jsfiddle.net/QRNqm/
And here is my code, remember I am using the select2 plugin also:
$(function(){
$('#mdlTags').select2();
});
.select2-search-choice-close {
padding: 2px 14px 3px 0;
border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
background: url(/images/projects/closeWhite.png) no-repeat 5px center #bdc6e5;
}
.select2-choices li div {
border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
color: #fff !important;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 3px 14px 3px 12px;
background-color: #bdc6e5;
}
<select multiple="multiple" id="mdlTags" class="skipMsDropdown" style="width:330px;">
<option value="1" >Option 1</option>
<option value="2" >Option 2</option>
</select>
Replace .select2-search-choice-close class with below:
.select2-search-choice-close {
padding: 2px 14px 3px 0;
border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
background: url(/images/projects/closeWhite.png) no-repeat 5px center #bdc6e5;
height: 14px; /* given height (actual 13px and 1px to adjust bottom margins) to adjust line-height of parent element */
margin-top: -1px; /* to adjust top margins to get in proper line */
}
Here is a working DEMO.
It's now on the same level. Here is the edited css.
.select2-search-choice-close {
background: url("/images/projects/closeWhite.png") no-repeat scroll 5px center #BDC6E5;
border-radius: 2px;
padding: 3px 14px 3px 0; // increase the top padding for 1 point.
}
.select2-search-choice-close {
background: url("select2.png") no-repeat scroll right top rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
display: block;
font-size: 1px;
height: 13px;
outline: medium none;
position: absolute;
right: 3px; // Reduce the top position for 1 point
top: 3px;
width: 12px;
}
First off, you have one less pixel of top padding on the select2-search-choice-close style. But even once you fix that, there will still be a pixel of difference between the two elements.
If you take a look at the demo on the Select2 page, that's the way it appears there as well (with one vertical pixel difference between the two elements). The difference is that they are applying the unifying style on the container that holds these two elements, rather than styling each of these elements separately.
If you make these two changes, you end up with something like this:

I have a default ASP.NET Dropdown, and it is rendered with a select tag id of "Countries".
I'd like the background of the drop-down to be transparent to match with the background of the page, and also like to keep make the default border disappear as well, so it blends well with the background. The list items can have the white background. I have an image of a custom arrow that i'd like to use instead of the default one that is used to click on the drop-down.
On hovering over the drop-down list items, I'd like the background of the item to be yellow, and the font color should always be black.
I'd like to use CSS 2.1 as much as possible for this, but if it's too complex then I'm willing to use javscript or jquery.
Below is the rendered markup, and some custom styles I've been trying to write. I also think some of the styles are overwritten by some default ones. Any help to finish this styling would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
<select name="ContriesDropdown" class="Select.SmallSelect" id="Countries" style="width: 100px; background-color: white;" onblur="try{FormUtils_ElementErrorReset(this);}catch(e){}" onchange="Send(this.value);">
<option value="1">Country1
<option value="2">Country2
*CustomCss*
#Countries { position:absolute; display:inline; top:6px;}
#Countries {background-color:transparent; vertical-align: middle; color: #44586D; border: 0px transparent; display: inline;padding:2px;}
#Countries Option:hover { color:black; background-color:Yellow; }
Try This.
select
{
-webkit-appearance: button;
-webkit-border-radius: 2px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
-webkit-padding-end: 20px;
-webkit-padding-start: 2px;
-webkit-user-select: none;
background-image: url(../images/select-arrow.png), -webkit-linear- gradient(#FAFAFA, #F4F4F4 40%, #E5E5E5);
background-position: center right;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
border: 1px solid #AAA;
color: #555;
font-size: 10pt;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
padding-top: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
white-space: nowrap;
font-family: Cambria;
}
The default ASP.Net controls are very limited when it comes to styling. You should try using external controls like the JQuery UI dropdown instead.

Please take a look at this link. Hover cursor on any movie thumbnail. Have you noticed that, all li elements moving down? How can I fix that problem?
Also, click on any thumbnail, player div will slide down. there is no box shadow under #player_container even if I set it in css files
#player_container{
display:none;
height:510px;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(images/bg/bg_tile.jpg);
margin-top: -510px;
padding-top: 20px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 10px 5px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 10px 5px #888;
box-shadow: 0px 10px 5px #888;
}
On video add a transparent border seems to fix it
.video {
border: 1px solid transparent;
float: left;
font-size: 11px;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 25px 25px 0;
width: 228px;
}
There is a couple off different way to fix the next part off your question. One quick way is too add another container like
<div style="display: block;" class="gradient sh" id="player_container">
<div class="jquery-youtube-tubeplayer" id="player">
<div id="tubeplayer-player-container1324082555277"><iframe width="853" height="480" frameborder="0" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LxBGDijiii0?autoplay=1&autohide=1&controls=1&rel=0&fs=1&wmode=transparent&showinfo=0&modestbranding=0&start=0&theme=dark&color=red&enablejsapi=1&origin=http://tural.us" title="YouTube video player" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div>.
<div class="bottomSpan"></div>
</div>
and put your box shadow on this
.bottomSpan {
box-shadow: 0 10px 5px #888888;
display: block;
height: 17px;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
For me changing the margin on the corresponding < li > would make more sense.
That is because on hover you are adding a border which makes the container 2px bigger
the solution to give the initial class a border
.video {
border: 1px solid #fff
float: left;
font-size: 11px;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 25px 25px 0;
width: 228px;
}
Second Problem:
To make z-index work you need to give it a position:relative property
#player_container {
display: none;
height: 510px;
width: 100%;
background-image: url(images/bg/bg_tile.jpg);
padding-top: 20px;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 10px 5px #888;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 10px 5px #888;
box-shadow: 0px 10px 5px #888;
z-index: 2;
position: relative;
}
You're adding a border when the mouse hovers but not reducing the size of the element. The "height" and "width" of an element, in the W3C box model, describe the size of the contents of a block element. The padding and the border are added to that.
Some browsers allow you to switch back to the "border-box" box sizing model:
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
However Internet Explorer wont, I don't think, understand that. Maybe IE9 or 10 would understand:
-ms-box-sizing: border-box;
(You'd put that on the ".video" style.)
edit — as to the problem with the shadow on the player: there's no shadow because there's no room for a shadow. If you make the player box "position: absolute", and correspondingly adjust the content somehow (maybe give the "wrapper" div a big top padding the same as the player size) then you'll see a shadow.
You really should be using something like Firebug to play with the CSS interactively.
I'm afraid your mixing things up a bit:
Your background-image is set on #player-container - if you want #player-container to have a shadow, you'll need an extra containing div for this background. Right now #player-containerdoes have shadow, but since it's 100% wide, and fills the vertical space, the shadow doesn't show.
Your player is exactly 853px x 480px, so you'll have to set #player-container to exactly these dimensions (no padding, no margin, they will be added to the width/height)
Add padding to the extra containing div, which also holds the background.
also (but not so important): #player-container has width:100% - that makes no sense - default is width:auto, so #player-container will automatically take 100% width
I am using Firebug, I just saw tha it is a div with css, but I dont get it how they did it?
<div id=":ri" class="J-Zh-I J-J5-Ji L3 J-Zh-I-Js-Zq" tabindex="0" role="button" style="-moz-user-select: none;">Search Mail</div>
I am trying to make something similar but I am just a beginner,I want that effect of the button but I don't get it how they did it? even I don't understand the css, I just copy this but no effect
.num1 {
-moz-border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(center top , #F5F5F5, #F1F1F1) repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
color: #666666;
cursor: default;
font: 75% arial,sans-serif;
margin: 0 8px 0 0;
outline: medium none;
padding: 3px 12px;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.num2{
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
.num3{
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 0;
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 0;
border-left-width: 0;
margin-left: 0 !important;
}
Here just the CSSed div: http://jsfiddle.net/bmWGY/1/
You'll need much more if you want to do something with this div.
Gmail uses JavaScript to detect the click event on the div. In addition, classes are dynamically added/removed to give the "button" the correct styles.
It is much easier to style a div element correctly than to try to style input and button elements for a cross-browser solution.
It's likely a simple div with a javascript onclick function attached. If using jQuery or some other framework, the "action" can be defined elsewhere using the .click() or .bind() (for jQuery) functions. See the examples provided in the preceding two links to see this in action.
