I want to resize the font of a SPAN element's style until it the SPAN's text is 7.5 inches wide when printed out on paper, but JavaScript only reports the SPAN's clientWidth property in pixels. <span id="test">123456</span> And then: #test { font-size:1.2in; /* adjust this for yourself until printout measures 7.5in wide */ } And ...
Hi Guys, Well this is my first post here and really enjoying the site.

The URL is http://dev.aipoker.co.uk I know I should be developing in FF and bug fixin...
Does anybody know a way with JavaScript or CSS to basically grey out a certain part of a form/div in HTML? I have a 'User Profile' form where I want to disable part of it for a 'Non-Premium' member, but want the user to see what is behind the form and place a 'Call to Action' on top of it. Does anybody know an easy way to do this eithe...
I have some styles applied to html for example <body style="background: #C3DAF9;"> and when I use forms authentication it is ignored. If I put the style into an external .css file then it works. This doesn't seem like normal behaviour to me. ...
Is there a CSS editor which automatically expands one-line declarations as multi-line declarations on focus ? To clarify my thought, see example below: Original CSS: div#main { color: orange; margin: 1em 0; border: 1px solid black; } But when focusing on it, editor automatically expands it to: div#main { color: orange; margin:...

I'm trying to have two inputs (one textbox, one drop down) to have the same width. You can set the width through css, but for some reason, the select box is always a few pixels smaller.

FireBug is the most convenient tool I've found for editing CSS - so why isn't there a simple "Save" option? I am always finding myself making tweaks in FireBug, then going back to my original .css file and replicating the tweaks. Has anyone come up with a better solution? EDIT: I'm aware the code is stored on a server (in most cases n...
I have a table column that needs to be limited to a certain width - say 100 pixels. At times the text in that column is wider than this and contains no spaces. For example: a_really_long_string_of_text_like_this_with_no_line_breaks_makes_the_table_unhappy I would like to calculate the width of text server-side and add an ellipsis aft...
I am working on an ASP.Net web application that must print dynamically created labels on standard Avery-style label sheets (one particular size, so only one overall layout). The labels have a variable number of lines (3-6) and may contain either lines of text or a graphic barcode image. Our first cut, that I inherited, used monospaced f...

I am using Doxygen to generate HTML documentation from my code. However I find that default stylesheet has quite poor choice of fonts and layout. I know I can write my own CSS file to get exactly the output I want, but before I spend my time on it, I am wondering if there are any decent custom stylesheets already available. ...
I have a need to display many numerical values in columns. These values need to be easily editable so I cannot just display them in a table. I am using textboxes to display them. Is there a way for me to right-justify the text displayed in a textbox? It would also be nice if when the user is entering data for it to start displaying what ...
I changed the MembershipProvider in my ASP.net MVC website, and now the stylesheet for the login page isn't referenced correctly. Below is a copy of the forms tag in my web.config if that could be the reason. It looks identical though to the one generated by a new project with the exception of the name and timeout attribute. <authentica...

When IE8 is released, will the following code work to add a conditional stylesheet? <!--[if IE 8]> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie-8.0.css" /> <![endif]--> I've read conflicting reports as to whether this works with the beta. I'm hoping someone can share their experience. Thanks. ...
I'd like to be able to add a class to images that adds a border that makes them look like a stack of photos. Anyone know how to do this? Clarifications: Ideally something like the stack shown here but it doesn't need to be interactive and only needs to work for a single photo. I also don't mind using javascript if needed (jQuery would...
I've been learning CSS for a while now, but the simplified layout below is still a little beyond me, so I am asking whether anyone knows of a model for such a layout, or would have an explanation to make this work. The page should have 3 bands or blocks: header, bottom, and content. The 'header' would start at left 0, top 0 in the vi...
I'm trying to display a series of titles varying from 60 characters to 160 or so and the capitalization varies, some of it all caps, some half caps. When it's mostly lowercase the whole 160 characters of text fits in the width I want, but when it starts getting more caps (they must be wider), it starts over flowing. Is there a way to u...
