My current project involves dynamically loading HTML content stored on disk into a specific div element. This is achieved by using the following code:
$('#FictionContent').load('Content/HuckFinn.html');
Just to provide some background information, this process is executed within the $(document).ready() function. When a certain tab is activated (in this case, the Fiction tab), the 'bronzeBackground' class is applied to the body element and the content from 'HuckFinn.html' is loaded into the #FictionContent div.
The structure of the FictionContent div is defined as follows:
<div id="FictionContent" class="clearfix">Content in Fiction tab</div>
Here is how it fits within the overall layout:
<div id="tabs" class="content-wrapper">
<ul>
<li><a href="#tab-Fiction">Fiction</a></li>
<li><a href="#tab-Nonfiction">Nonfiction</a></li>
<li><a href="#tab-MiscTwain">Miscellaneous</a></li>
</ul>
<div id="tab-Fiction">
<select id="fictionDropDown">
<option value="HuckFinn">Huck Finn</option>
<option value="TomSawyer">Tom Sawyer</option>
<option value="tPatP">Prince and the Pauper</option>
<option value="ConnYank">Connecticut Yankee</option>
<option value="Gilded">The Gilded Age</option>
<option value="Puddnhead">Pudd'nhead Wilson</option>
<option value="ShortStories">Short Stories</option>
</select>
<div id="FictionContent" class="clearfix">Content in Fiction tab</div>
</div>
To style the clearfix class used by FictionContent, I attempted adding a black background color with no success. The initial CSS was:
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
line-height: 0;
height: 0;
}
I then tried modifying it by adding:
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
line-height: 0;
height: 0;
background-color: black;
}
Unfortunately, this change did not take effect. Another attempt involved placing a similar style directly in the 'HuckFinn.html' file being loaded:
<style>
background-color: black;
</style>
<h1>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</h1>
However, this approach also failed to alter the background color. I am seeking guidance on how to achieve this styling effect successfully, similar to what is demonstrated here.
What steps can be taken to ensure the desired black background color is applied effectively?
