Azu Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi, I've noticed in some websites, that certain words are made to show up differently, and they don't even have anything around them in HTML. Can somebody please tell me how to do this? E.G. make all instances of "BLAH" be underlined or something? I'm totally stumped on this.. ???

Azu Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi, I would like to use CSS as my mark-up language for this please. And I don't remember the URL, it was one of the sites I was looking up CSS stuff on, and certain words had special effects on them but it wasn't in the html. I am just wandering how I can do this to. With the CSS? I have tried "Blah":before{content:"<u>"}"Blah":after{content:"</u>"} but it didn't work? Please tell me how.. :s Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/54256-making-certain-word-look-differant/#findComment-268763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonMariner Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 css needs some kind of element to make the selector or class/id inorder to act on anything. If you are absolutley positive there is nothing like a span around the word then it is javascript doing the job. to check switch js or css off and see what happens.

BrightHearted Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 It cannot be done without JS/DOM Scripting. CSS alone can't get that job done. I wish it could .

ToonMariner Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Sorry Azu but everyone on this thread agrees - you cannot do it on a single word that is in the same tage as other words without either JS doing a regular expresion replacement. If you want css to do it then you MUST place something like <span> around the word and uss css to style that element..
