CSS doesn&#39;t use HTML&#39;s entities; it uses its own unicode escape sequences.

You need to use `\00a9` for the copyright symbol.

    body:after {
      content:&quot;\00a9 me&quot;;
    }

See here for a cheat-sheet table which shows just about every entity/unicode string you&#39;d ever need: http://www.evotech.net/blog/2007/04/named-html-entities-in-numeric-order/


I&#39;m kind of new to both EC2 and Git, and I have just set up my first instance of EC2, using a clean Amazon Linux AMI. I also installed MySQL, Apache and PHP and opened some ports to make it work as a normal web server, responding to an elastic IP as well.

Now, my code is on a private repo on GitHub, and I would like to perform simple deployments by doing `git pull` or something like that. Git is also installed on the server already. I know I could set up my git repo on the server using my personal ssh key, but it seems odd. I guess another solution would be to create a new GitHub user and use it on the server, but it doesn&#39;t seem right either.

How do I achieve this in an elegant, safe way?

In my site host, I have seen (via phpinfo) that 

 - post_max_size = 8Mb
 - upload_max_filesize = 16Mb

This led me to think that I should be able to upload as file as big as 16Mb.
However, when I do this through a post method (as normal), post_max_size takes over and declares that I sent too much.

What is the method which permits sending a file as big as 16Mb ?
GET - PUT - other ?

Hope someone can clarify this for me.

PHP post_max_size overrides upload_max_filesize

**SOLVED** - used `\00a9` instead of `&amp;copy;`

Pretty self-explanatory:

    body:after {
    	content: &quot;&amp;copy; me&quot;;
        /* other formatting */
    }

In HTML, the `&amp;copy;` sequence inserts a copyright character. Can this be done in CSS Pseudo-Elements like I&#39;m trying to do here?

SOLVED - used <code>\00a9</code> instead of <code>&#x26;copy;</code>
Pretty self-explanatory:

I&#39;m trying to set custom SVG icons with CSS on a `&lt;ul&gt;`&#39;s list items. Example:

    &lt;ul&gt;
        &lt;li style=&quot;list-style-image: url(&#39;first.svg&#39;)&quot;&gt;This is my first item&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;li style=&quot;list-style-image: url(&#39;second.svg&#39;)&quot;&gt;And here&#39;s my second&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
The problem is that the the images are too large, and stretch the height of the lines. I don&#39;t want to change the image size, because the point of using SVG is to scale with the resolution. Is there a way to set the size of the image using CSS without some sort of `background-image` hack?

EDIT: Here&#39;s a preview (large image deliberately chosen for illustration and drama): http://jsfiddle.net/tWQ65/4/ &lt;br&gt;
And my current `background-image` workaround, using CSS3&#39;s `background-size`: http://jsfiddle.net/kP375/1/

Consider the following HTML:

    &lt;div class=&#39;x&#39;&gt;
        &lt;ul&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Number one&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Number two&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Number three&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Number four is a bit longer&lt;/li&gt;
            &lt;li&gt;Number five&lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

and the following CSS:

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    .x {
        -moz-column-count: 3;
        column-count: 3;
        width: 30em;
    }

As it stands, Firefox currently renders this similarly to the following:

    • Number one    • Number three          bit longer
    • Number two    • Number four is a    • Number five

Notice that the fourth item was split between the second and third column. How do I prevent that?

The desired rendering might look something more like:

    • Number one    • Number four is a
    • Number two      bit longer
    • Number three  • Number five

or

    • Number one    • Number three        • Number five
    • Number two    • Number four is a
                      bit longer

**Edit:** The width is only specified to demonstrate the unwanted rendering. In the real case, of course there is no fixed width.

I am making a very advanced website. My question: Is it possible to select all the other children except for the `:first-child` and the `:last-child`? I know there is a `:not()` selector but it doesn&#39;t work with more than one not in the parentheses. This is what I have:


    #navigation ul li:not(:first-child, :last-child) {
    	background: url(images/UISegmentBarButtonmiddle@2x.png);
    	background-size: contain;
    }

I have an issue while using buttons inside form. I want that button to call function. It does, but with unwanted result that it refresh the page.

My simple code goes like this

    &lt;form method=&quot;POST&quot;&gt;
        &lt;button name=&quot;data&quot; onclick=&quot;getData()&quot;&gt;Click&lt;/button&gt;
    &lt;/form&gt;

On clicking the button, the function gets called with page refreshed, which resets all my previous request which affects the current page which was result of the previous request.

What should I do to prevent the page refresh?

I&#39;m just curious to know  
Is there ANY ways in ANY browser to find out where the alert I get is raised from?

I tried it in chrome but there is no call stack available when alert shows.

Any idea?

In Firefox only my video thumbnails are displaying mysterious 2-3 pixels of white space between the bottom of my image and its border (see below).

I&#39;ve tried everything I can think of in Firebug with no luck.

How can I remove this white space?

Remove white space below image

I have this HTML:

    &lt;div id=&quot;graphic&quot;&gt;lorem ipsum&lt;/div&gt;

with this CSS:

    #graphic { background-image: url(image.jpg); width: 200px; height: 100px;}

The background image I&#39;m applying is 200x100 px, but I only want to display a cropped portion of the background image of 200x50 px.

`background-clip` does not appear to be the right CSS property for this. What can I use instead?

`background-position` should not be used, because I&#39;m using the above CSS in a sprite context where the image part I want to show is smaller than the element on which the CSS is defined.

Things like `a:link` or `div::after`...

Information on the difference seems scarce.

What is the difference between a pseudo-class and a pseudo-element in CSS?

so I&#39;ve been toying with this calendar-ish thingy for a bit:

- Grid of divs (mimicking a table)
- Hovering over a table cell displays a tooltip with 2 icons each consisting of a div with :before and :after elements
- Icons change colour depending on colour of cell hovered and that of its previous sibling (cell&#39;s colour class is applied to the icon).

Stripped down fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/e9PkA/1/

This works fine in every browser but IE8 and below (IE lte 7 and I will never friends, but IE8 would be nice to have).

IE8 notices the change of classNames and updates the divs&#39; colour accordingly but completely ignores the colour changes implied by the :before and :after declarations, e.g.:


    .wbscal_icon_arrival:before {
        width: 12px;
        height: 4px;
        
        left: -8px;
        top: 6px;
        background-color: silver;
    }
    
    .wbscal_icon_arrival.wbscal_full:before {
        background-color: #ff0000 !important; 
    }

In the fiddle above, the :before/:after elements are coloured exactly once: the first time the tooltip is shown. 

In another version it would update everytime I&#39;d move the mouse out of the &quot;table&quot; div, but not if the tooltip is hidden when hovering a &quot;cell&quot; div border.

I&#39;ve tried force-triggering repaints by adding/removing other classes to/from the element/its parents/the body, editing/accessing style attributes and whatnot so I guess it&#39;s not your average repaint problem.

Is there a JS hack that fixes this and forces :before/:after to update?

Forcing IE8 to rerender/repaint :before/:after pseudo elements

I have a set of styled links using the `:before` to apply an arrow.

It looks good in all browser, but when I apply the underline to the link, I don&#39;t want to have underline on the `:before` part (the arrow).

See jsfiddle for example: http://jsfiddle.net/r42e5/1/

Is it possible to remove this? The test-style I sat with `#test p a:hover:before` does get applied (according to Firebug), but the underline is still there.

Any way to avoid this?

&lt;!-- begin snippet: js hide: false console: true babel: false --&gt;

&lt;!-- language: lang-css --&gt;

    #test {
      color: #B2B2B2;
    }

    #test p a {
      color: #B2B2B2;
      text-decoration: none;
    }

    #test p a:hover {
      text-decoration: underline;
    }

    #test p a:before {
      color: #B2B2B2;
      content: &quot;► &quot;;
      text-decoration: none;
    }

    #test p a:hover:before {
      text-decoration: none;
    }

&lt;!-- language: lang-html --&gt;

    &lt;div id=&quot;test&quot;&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;A link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot;&gt;Another link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- end snippet --&gt;



How to remove only underline from a:before?

I have a this setup:

    &lt;div id=&quot;button&quot;&gt;Button&lt;/div&gt;

and this for CSS:

    #button	{
        color: #fff;
        display: block;
        height: 25px;
        margin: 0 10px;
        padding: 10px;
        text-indent: 20px;
        width: 12%;
    }

    #button:before {
        background-color: blue;
        content: &quot;&quot;;
        display: block;
        height: 25px;
        width: 25px;
    }

Is there a way to give the pseudo element a hover effect such as `#button:before:hover {...}` and is it also possible to get the pseudo element to hover in response to another element being hovered like so: `#button:hover #button:before {...}`? CSS only would be nice, but also jQuery is fine too.

How to make a hover effect for pseudo elements?

Suppose I want to decorate links to certain file types using an image.  I could declare my links as

    &lt;a href=&#39;foo.pdf&#39; class=&#39;pdflink&#39;&gt;A File!&lt;/a&gt;

then have CSS like

    .pdflink:after { content: url(&#39;/images/pdf.png&#39;) }

Now, this works great, except if `pdf.png` isn&#39;t the right size for my link text.

I&#39;d like to be able to tell the browser to scale the `:after` image, but I can&#39;t for the life of me find the right syntax.  Or is this like background images, where resizing just isn&#39;t possible?

ETA: I&#39;m leaning towards either a) resizing the source image to be the &quot;right&quot; size, server-side and/or b) changing the markup to simply supply an IMG tag inline.  I was trying to avoid both those things but they sound like they&#39;ll be more compatible than trying to do stuff purely with CSS.  The answer to my original question seems to be &quot;you can *sort of* do it, sometimes&quot;.
