Styles not reflecting

Today my husband asked me for some styling help. He doesn’t know html and css. Sometimes he will need help in his work for changing minor styles. At that time I will feel like a superhero, I will change the color and show him some magic with colors :P He will be like, ”Oh baby you are so talented!!”


I helped him in styling a table. Whatever I do, the styles didn’t reflect in the page. I was confused. I stopped all my household works , took his laptop and started debugging. My husband looked at me as if I was diffusing a bomb. I tried all the combinations of selector, restarted the server, refreshed page like 100 times but styles didn’t reflect. I checked the css file in sources tab, styles are available there, but is not rendered in Styles tab.

Finally I found the issue.


It was because of an unwanted { before the style which was not reflecting  in css file. My husband was happy when I found the issue. He praised me again:P Little he knew that I should have checked for an extra bracket before all the fuss.

Contact Number Input boxes

Many forms will have a field for contact number. Contact number can be given as a single input box What if we wanted to separate the contact number input box into two or more fields? For getting mobile number as input, we can have 3 boxes. First box and second box accepting three numbers and third box accepting 4 numbers. To implement this, we have to create 3 input elements, In order to get only 3 numbers in first two inputs and   4 numbers in last input, we can use the maxlength property Don’t forget to give space after maxlength = 3 and input closing tag. Thus we have three input boxes which accepts 3,3, 4 inputs respectively. Let us make the boxes little cooler!!! Imagine the cursor moving automatically to the next input box when maximum length is reached !!! This can be achieved via Javascript. You can find working code here  jsFiddle Thank you!!

Setting Opacity for border

When you want to give opacity for border alone usually we try the following css, .reduce-border-opacity{       width: 150px;     height: 150px;     border: 5px solid black;     opacity: 0.5;     background-color: grey; } The above css will reduce the opacity of the element with class  “reduce-border-opacity” as shown below, So to reduce the opacity of border alone, give the following css           .reduce-border-opacity{            width: 150px;                     height: 150px;                    border: 5px solid  rgba(0,0,0,0.5);                     background-color: grey;       } Give your opacity as the last property in rgb...
