Border-width In Em - But Set A Minimum Border-width


Answer :

In CSS3, you can try to (ab)use the max css function, if your browser supports it.

border-width: max(1px, 0.1em); border-style: solid;  border-color: black;

Unfortunately this awesome CSS3 feature isn't supported by any browsers yet, but I hope this will change soon!

But in CSS2 – no, you can't.
However, you can use JavaScript/jQuery to loop through all elements and increase the border size to 1px.

But this will eat so much performance your browser is gonna crash if you have too many elements on your page (e.g. a table with more than 50-100 rows).
So in other words, no it's not possible.

$("[id$='ReportViewerControl']").find('*')      .each(function () {          if($(this).is('#ParametersRowReportViewerControl *'))              return;          //console.log("Processing an element");         //var cls = $(this).attr("class");          // Don't add a border to sort-arrow         if ($(this).is('img')) {             return;         }          var anywidth = $(this).css('width');         var anywidth = parseFloat(anywidth);         //console.log("anywidth: " + anywidth);           //var lol = $(this).css('borderLeftWidth');         var blw = $(this).css('border-left-width');         var brw = $(this).css('border-right-width');         var btw = $(this).css('border-top-width');         var bbw = $(this).css('border-bottom-width');          var borls = $(this).css('border-left-style') == "solid";         var borrs = $(this).css('border-right-style') == "solid";         var borts = $(this).css('border-top-style') == "solid";         var borbs = $(this).css('border-bottom-style') == "solid";          var blw = parseFloat(blw);         var brw = parseFloat(brw);         var btw = parseFloat(btw);         var bbw = parseFloat(bbw);          //parseInt($(this).css("borderRightWidth"))         //console.log(parseInt($(this).css("borderLeftWidth")));          // UpdateLock = true;           // Set width to 1px where 0px         if (anywidth == 0)             $(this).css('width', '1px');          if (borls && blw == 0.0 || (blw > 0.0 && blw < 1.0)) {             //console.log("setting border width");             $(this).css('border-left-width', '1px');         }          if (borrs && brw == 0.0 || (brw > 0.0 && brw < 1.0)) {             $(this).css('border-right-width', '1px');         }          if (borts && btw == 0.0 || (btw > 0.0 && btw < 1.0)) {             $(this).css('border-top-width', '1px');         }          if (borbs && bbw == 0.0 || (bbw > 0.0 && bbw < 1.0)) {             $(this).css('border-bottom-width', '1px');         }          // UpdateLock = false;     });           // End $('*').each

It looks like different browsers handle borders thinner than 1px differently. In Firefox such borders appear to render as 1px wide, but in Chrome they go away. On the other hand it appears that Chrome renders box-shadow even if it's less than 1px, so using it instead of border might be a good idea (Christina was actually suggesting it in the comment to the question). Than again some browsers won't render box-shadow if it's too thin (Firefox does that). Additionally box-shadow does not add the the box model, so using extra margin might be necessary.

Here is an attempt at overcoming those problems. Note that I had to resort to JavaScript userAgent detection hack (just add one extra class to body if it's a webkit browser), because I wasn't able to achieve it using CSS alone.

if (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webkit") > -1) {     document.body.className += " webkitHack"; }
/* Borders */  .border{   border:0.0625em solid black; }  .shadowyBorder{   box-shadow: 0 0 0 0.0625em black;   /* Compensating for the fact that box-shadow doesn't count towards box model */   margin: 0.0625em; }  .comboBorder {   /* If it's not webkit use border */   border:0.0625em solid black; }  /* If it's webkit use box-shadow */ .webkitHack .comboBorder {   border: none;   box-shadow: 0 0 0 0.0625em black;   /* Compensating for the fact that box-shadow doesn't count towards box model */   margin: 0.0625em; }  /* Extras */ td, th {   padding:5px; } .em05 {   font-size:8px; }  .em1 {   font-size:16px; }  .em2 {   font-size:32px; }  .box {   display:inline-block;   height:1em;   width:1em; }
<table>   <tr>     <th>Font size</th><th>Border</th><th>Box shadow</th><th>Box shadow in webkit</th>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>       8px     </td>     <td class="em05">       <div class="box border"></div>     </td>     <td class="em05">       <div class="box shadowyBorder"></div>     </td>     <td class="em05">       <div class="box comboBorder"></div>     </td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>       16px     </td>     <td class="em1">       <div class="box border"></div>     </td>     <td class="em1">       <div class="box shadowyBorder"></div>     </td>     <td class="em1">       <div class="box comboBorder"></div>     </td>   </tr>   <tr>     <td>       32px     </td>     <td class="em2">       <div class="box border"></div>     </td>     <td class="em2">       <div class="box shadowyBorder"></div>     </td>     <td class="em2">       <div class="box comboBorder"></div>     </td>   </tr> </table>

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
