So this is my problem, I am trying to print some components in React using window.print, my components have defined sizes say 5cm x 5cm, I have hidden all other components in the print page (note that the styling of the whole page is somehow complex to post here), the problem is that my components get resized when on the print page. I have looked a lot but nothing has worked for me.
Note that when I tested the same print in a different page (with no complex styling) it worked fine. So is there any way to pass the styles to the print window or "Override" the styling so that my components get rendered correctly?
Thanks.
EDIT: Here is my CSS. This is working fine in a fresh app so there must be something I used messing things up, I removed all #media print from Bootstrap CSS files but no luck.
I tried to put the code inside as well as outside the #media print but no luck as well.
As far as I know media should render real physical lengths and units, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again

Recently, I've encountered with the same issue while designing a print template in React. I was totally wrong in my understanding that whatever styles I write in my CSS files will apply. Then I found there is certain semantics while are required to be followed while designing an HTML print template.
Take a look at this link. This will be very helpful for your design.
Following link is affected: https://preview.hs-sites.com/_hcms/preview/template/multi?is_buffered_template_layout=true&portalId=2753787&tc_deviceCategory=undefined&template_layout_id=5699672553&updated=1523614982274
We are experiencing problems with a form and its parent div. We tried to bring in a frosted glas style to the parent div landingboxForm, but if we are working with pseudoelements, nothing happens.
The tutorial is from here https://medium.com/#AmJustSam/how-to-do-css-only-frosted-glass-effect-e2666bafab91 and is working well for others. I just do not succeed in port it for our landing page.
Does anybody know why the :before div tag is just grey in the Chrome inspector and why it does not appear?
CSS:
.lp-sorba {
background-size: cover;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
height: 900px !important;
}
.lp-sorba .landingpageHeader {
height: 80px;
background: #1d89d2;
}
.lp-sorba #hs-link-logo > img {
margin-top: 22px;
}
.lp-sorba .landingboxForm:before {
content:" ";
background: inherit;
left: 0;
right: 0;
top: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 3000px rgba(255,255,255,0.3);
filter: blur(10px) !important;
}
.lp-sorba .landingboxForm {
background: inherit;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: relative;
border-radius: 5px;
box-shadow: 0 23px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
padding: 20px;
border: 0.5px solid #edebeb;
}
As for your question
why the :before div tag is just grey in the Chrome inspector and why it does not appear?
Your pseudo element is collapsing right know. Add position: absolute; to the .lp-sorba .landingboxForm:before rule.
But that won't solve your underlying problem / won't create the frosted glass effect.
The way how filters work is: they get applied to the element itself only, not the ones lying behind it.
In the example from Medium/Codepen, the form element inherits the background from the main element. By that it's pseudo element may apply a filter to it.
In your setup, the form is positioned absolute, while the image tag is also positioned absolute. The forms filter won't bleed into that image tag.
Revisit the example:
apply a background image to a parent container
inherit that in the form
pseudo filter on the form will blur the forms inherited background
What is the proper way to apply :before and :after pseudo classes to styled components?
I know that you can use
&:hover {}
to apply the :hover pseudo class to a styled-component.
Does this work for All pseudo elements like before and after?
I have tried using the &:before and &:after strategy with some rather complex examples and i'm not sure if my attempts are not working because i've got something wrong with my example or it just doesn't work like that.
Does someone have some insight on this? Thank you.
Pseudo-selectors in styled-components work just like they do in CSS. (or rather, Sass) Whatever isn't working is likely a problem in your specific code, but that's hard to debug without seeing the actual code!
Here is an example of how to use a simple :after:
const UnicornAfter = styled.div`
&:after {
content: " 🦄";
}
`;
<UnicornAfter>I am a</UnicornAfter> // renders: "I am a 🦄"
If you post your code I'll likely be able to help debug your specific issue!
This will print the triangle at middle of the div.
const LoginBackground = styled.div`
& {
width: 30%;
height: 75%;
padding: 0.5em;
background-color: #f8d05d;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
&:after {
border-right: solid 20px transparent;
border-left: solid 20px transparent;
border-top: solid 20px #f8d05d;
transform: translateX(-50%);
position: absolute;
z-index: -1;
content: "";
top: 100%;
left: 50%;
height: 0;
width: 0;
}
`;
This is good and simple answer:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/45871869/4499788 by mxstbr
but for elements requiring more complex logic I prefer this approach:
const Figure = styled.div`
${Square}:before,
${Square}:after,
${Square} div:before,
${Square} div:after {
background-color: white;
position: absolute;
content: "";
display: block;
-webkit-transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out;
}
`;
As an object (note the double quotes):
const Div = styled.div({
'&:before': {
content: '"a string"',
},
})
Adding to #mxstbr answer
Note that when you want to render before based on props, don't forget to wrap it with double quotes (or single quotes) , example:
const Button = styled.button`
&:before {
content:"${(props)=>props.theme==='dark'?'dark theme':'white theme'}";
}
because
content:${(props)=>props.theme==='dark'?'dark theme':'white theme'};
will not work
Can try like this.
It works perfectly fine
var setValue="abc";
var elementstyle = '<style>YourClass:before { right:' + abc + 'px;}</style>'
$(".YourClass").append(setValue);
var rightMarginForNotificationPanelConnectorStyle = '<style>.authenticated-page.dx-authenticated .dx-notification .dx-notification-dialog.dx-content-frame:before { right:' + rightMarginForNotificationPanelConnectorWithBadge + 'px;}</style>'
$(".authenticated-page.dx-authenticated .dx-notification .dx-notification-dialog.dx-content-frame").append(rightMarginForNotificationPanelConnectorStyle);
I have a table with a lot of columns and a horizontal scrollbar. I'm searshing a way to show it in fullscreen, like you can do in gmail when you want to see an mail attachement with a glyphicon-resize-full
If someone have an idea :)
edit : I'm trying with this :
<div id="overlayContainer" class="overlay">
<div id="overlayContent" class="overlay-content">
</div>
using a css to have a bigger table on a black background
<style>
.overlay {
height: 0;
width: 0;
position: fixed;
z-index: 1;
top: 0;
left: 0;
background-color: rgb(0,0,0);
background-color: rgba(0,0,0, 0.9);
overflow-x: hidden;
transition: 0.5s;
}
.overlay-content {
position: relative;
top: 25%;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
margin-top: 30px;
}
.overlay a {
padding: 8px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 36px;
color: #818181;
display: block;
transition: 0.3s;
}
.overlay a:hover, .overlay a:focus {
color: #f1f1f1;
}
.overlay .closebtn {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
right: 45px;
font-size: 60px;
}
#media screen and (max-height: 450px) {
.overlay a {
font-size: 20px;
}
.overlay .closebtn {
font-size: 40px;
top: 15px;
right: 35px;
}
}
and I fill the div overlayContent or close it by this way :
$scope.fullScreenElement = function () {
document.getElementById("overlayContainer").style.height = "100%";
document.getElementById("overlayContainer").style.width = "100%";
document.getElementById("overlayContent").innerHTML = document.getElementById("tableContent").innerHTML;
};
$scope.reduceElement = function () {
document.getElementById("overlayContainer").style.height = "0%";
document.getElementById("overlayContainer").style.width = "0%";
};
But with that I can't use JS functions of my table :(
edit : Here is an example : http://plnkr.co/edit/1ge8r8zFANDNt2P2k0kI?p=preview
I couldn't reproduce it, but table should have horizontal scrollbar and you should't see lasts columns at the right. And if you expand it, you see the entire table but javascript like click on column name to sort (it's not in my Plunker) doesn't work
edit : I tried a second time with your angular.element(document.getElementById($scope.id)).addClass("overflowFullScreen");
Nimmi, and it's better than my first try, it keeps JS functions. I continue with this, but looks good. Thank you !
final edit : I resolves lasts problems caused by z-index and a missing vertical scrollbar but it is done ! Thank you for your help !
I currently set the title attribute of some HTML if I want to provide more information:
<p>An <span class="more_info" title="also called an underscore">underline</span> character is used here</p>
Then in CSS:
.more_info {
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
}
Works very nice, visual indicator to move the mouse over and then a little popup with more information. But on mobile browsers, I don't get that tooltip. title attributes don't seem to have an effect. What's the proper way to give more information on a piece of text in a mobile browser? Same as above but use Javascript to listen for a click and then display a tooltip-looking dialog? Is there any native mechanism?
You can fake the title tooltip behavior with Javascript. When you click/tab on an element with a title attribute, a child element with the title text will be appended. Click again and it gets removed.
Javascript (done with jQuery):
$("span[title]").click(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".title");
if (!$title.length) {
$(this).append('<span class="title">' + $(this).attr("title") + '</span>');
} else {
$title.remove();
}
});​
CSS:
.more_info {
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
position: relative;
}
.more_info .title {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
background: silver;
padding: 4px;
left: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/xaAN3/
Here is a CSS only solution. (Similar to #Jamie Pate 's answer, but without the JavaScript.)
We can use the pseudo class :hover, but I'm not sure all mobile browsers apply these styles when the element is tapped. I'm using pseudo class :focus because I'm guessing it's safer. However, when using pseudo class :focus we need to add tabindex="0" to elements that don't have a focus state intrinsically.
I'm using 2 #media queries to ensure all mobile devices are targeted. The (pointer: coarse) query will target any device that the primary input method is something "coarse", like a finger. And the (hover: none) query will target any device that the primary pointing system can't hover.
This snippet is all that's needed:
#media (pointer: coarse), (hover: none) {
[title] {
position: relative;
display: inline-flex;
justify-content: center;
}
[title]:focus::after {
content: attr(title);
position: absolute;
top: 90%;
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid;
width: fit-content;
padding: 3px;
}
}
/*Semantic Styling*/
body {
display: grid;
place-items: center;
text-align: center;
height: 100vh;
}
a {
height: 40px;
width: 200px;
background: #fa4766;
color: #fff;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 10px;
box-sizing: border-box;
border-radius: 10px;
}
/*Functional Styling*/
#media (pointer: coarse), (hover: none) {
[title] {
position: relative;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
[title]:focus::after {
content: attr(title);
position: absolute;
top: 90%;
color: #000;
background-color: #fff;
border: 1px solid;
width: fit-content;
padding: 3px;
}
}
<a title="this is the Title text" tabindex="0">Tag with Title</a>
Obviously, you'll need to open this on a mobile device to test it.
Here is a Pen with the same code.
Given that a lot of people nowadays (2015) use mobile browsers, and title still hasn't found a form of exposure in mobile browsers, maybe it's time to deprecate reliance upon title for meaningful information.
It should never be used for critical information, but it is now becoming dubious for useful information, because if that information is useful and cannot be shown to half the users, then another way of showing it to almost all users needs to be found.
For static pages, perhaps some visible text near to the relevant control, even as fine print. For server-generated pages, browser sniffing could provide that only for mobile browsers. On the client side, javascript could be used to trap the focus event, via bubbling, to show the extra text next to the currently focussed element. That would minimise the screen space taken up, but would not necessarily be of much use, since, in a lot of instances, bringing focus to a control can only be done in a way that immediately activates its action, bypassing the ability to find out about it before using it!
Over all though, it appears that the difficulties of showing the title attribute on mobile devices, may lead to its demise, mostly due to needing an alternative that is more universal. That is a pity, because mobiles could use a way to show such extra info on-demand, without taking up the limited screen space.
It seems strange that the w3c and mobile browser makers did not do anything about this issue a long time ago. At least they could have displayed the title text on top of the menu that appears when a long press on a control is made.
Personally, I wish it was placed at the top of a right-click/long-touch menu, as it won't timeout, and would be available on all browsers.
The other alternative is to construct footnotes, so an [n] type superscript is put next to the element/text needing more info, linking to explanatory text in a list at the bottom of the page. Each of those can have a similar [n] type link back to the original text/element. That way, it keeps the display uncluttered, but provides easy bidirectional swapping in a simple way. Sometimes, old print media ways, with a little hyperlink help, are best.
The title attribute has been hijacked by some browsers to provide help text for the pattern attribute, in that its text pops up if the pattern doesn't match the text in the input element. Typically, it is to provide examples of the right format.
Slightly more elaborated version of flavaflo's answer:
Uses pre-defined div as pop-up that can hold HTML, rather than reading from a title attribute
Opens/closes on rollover if mouse is used
Opens on click (touch screen) and closes on click on the open pop-up or anywhere else on the document.
HTML:
<span class="more_info">Main Text<div class="popup">Pop-up text can use <b>HTML</b><div></span>
CSS:
.more_info {
border-bottom: 1px dotted #000;
position: relative;
cursor: pointer;
}
.more_info .popup {
position: absolute;
top: 15px; /*must overlap parent element otherwise pop-up doesn't stay open when rolloing over '*/
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
padding: 8px;
left: 0;
max-width: 240px;
min-width: 180px;
z-index: 100;
display: none;
}
JavaScript / jQuery:
$(document).ready(function () {
//init pop-ups
$(".popup").attr("data-close", false);
//click on pop-up opener
//pop-up is expected to be a child of opener
$(".more_info").click(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".popup");
//open if not marked for closing
if ($title.attr("data-close") === "false") {
$title.show();
}
//reset popup
$title.attr("data-close", false);
});
//mark pop-up for closing if clicked on
//close is initiated by document.mouseup,
//marker will stop opener from re-opening it
$(".popup").click(function () {
$(this).attr("data-close",true);
});
//hide all pop-ups
$(document).mouseup(function () {
$(".popup").hide();
});
//show on rollover if mouse is used
$(".more_info").mouseenter(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".popup");
$title.show();
});
//hide on roll-out
$(".more_info").mouseleave(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".popup");
$title.hide();
});
});

As #cimmanon mentioned: span[title]:hover:after { content: attr(title) } gives you a rudimentary tooltip on touch screen devices. Unfortunately this has problems where the default ui behavior on touch screen devices is to select the text when any non-link/uicontrol is pressed.
To solve the selection problem you can add span[title] > * { user-select: none} span[title]:hover > * { user-select: auto }
A full solution may use some other techniques:
Add position: absolute background, border, box-shadow etc to make it look like a tooltip.
Add the class touched to body (via js) when the user uses any touch event.
Then you can do body.touched [title]:hover ... without affecting desktop users
document.body.addEventListener('touchstart', function() {
document.body.classList.add('touched');
});
[title] {
border-bottom: 1px dashed rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
border-radius:2px;
position: relative;
}
body.touched [title] > * {
user-select: none;
}
body.touched [title]:hover > * {
user-select: auto
}
body.touched [title]:hover:after {
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
right: -10%;
content: attr(title);
border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
background-color: white;
box-shadow: 1px 1px 3px;
padding: 0.3em;
z-index: 1;
}
<div>Some text where a portion has a <span title="here's your tooltip">tooltip</span></div>
Depending on how much information you want to give the user, a modal dialogue box might be an elegant solution.
Specifically, you could try the qTip jQuery plugin, which has a modal mode fired on $.click():
The title attribute is not supported in any mobile browsers **in a way that it would show the tooltip the same as to desktop mouse users** *(the attribute itself is ofcourse supported in the markup)*.
It's only basically for desktop users with a mouse, keyboard only users can't use it either, or screenreaders.
You can achieve almost similar with javascript as you said.
I was searching for an easy CSS only solution, and this is really the most easy one I found:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/balloon-css/balloon.min.css">
<span aria-label="Whats up!" data-balloon-pos="up">Hover me!</span>
Working example: https://jsfiddle.net/5pcjbnwg/
If you want to customize the tooltip, you find more info here:
https://kazzkiq.github.io/balloon.css/
To avoid using JavaScript, I used this CSS-only tooltip:
http://www.menucool.com/tooltip/css-tooltip
It works great in Mobile and Desktop, and you can customize the styles.
Thanks to #flavaflo for their answer. This works in most cases but if there is more than one title to lookup in the same paragraph, and one opens over the link to another, the unopened link shows through the first. This can be solved by dynamically changing the z-index of the title that has "popped up":
$("span[title]").click(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".title");
if (!$title.length) {
$(this).append('<span class="title">' + $(this).attr("title") + '</span>');
$(this).css('z-index', 2);
} else {
$title.remove();
$(this).css('z-index', 0);
}
});​
Also, you can make both the hover over display and the click display multiline by adding
(linefeed) to the title='' attribute, and then convert that to <br /> for the html click display:
$(this).append('<span class="title">' + $(this).attr("title").replace(/\\n/g, '<br />') + '</span>');
Extremely late to the party but for future visitors, here is a tweak of #Flavaflo's answer to fade the "tooltip" in and out
JQuery:
$(".more_info").click(function () {
var $title = $(this).find(".title");
if (!$title.length) {
$(this).append('<span class="title">' + $(this).attr("title") + '</span>');
} else {
$($title).fadeOut(250, function() {
$title.remove();
});
}
});
CSS:
.more_info {
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
position: relative;
}
.more_info .title {
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
background: green;
padding: 4px;
left: 0;
color: white;
white-space: nowrap;
border-radius:3px;
animation: fadeIn linear 0.15s;
}
#keyframes fadeIn {
0% {opacity:0;}
100% {opacity:1;}
}

I know this is an old question, but i have found a CSS solution that works on mobile too, it doesn't use title at all and it's easy to implement, explained here:
https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_tooltip.asp
Explanation:
On mobile, with the touchscreen,the first input acts as css hover, so it works like a toggle tooltip when you press on it.
Code example:
.tooltip {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
border-bottom: 2px dotted #666;
}
.tooltip .tooltiptext {
visibility: hidden;
width: 15em;
background-color: #555;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 6px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
bottom: 125%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -8em;
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity 0.3s;
padding: 0.5em;
}
.tooltip .tooltiptext::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -5px;
border-width: 5px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #555 transparent transparent transparent;
}
.tooltip:hover .tooltiptext {
visibility: visible;
opacity: 1;
}
<div class="tooltip">Hover over me
<span class="tooltiptext">Tooltip text</span>
</div>
