CSS - Ids Overwriting Link Styles
I have 2 content areas. One with id sidebar2 and another with id maincontent.
I want the links in these separate content areas to have different hover colors and possibly other characteristics. My problem is, the styles for sidebar2 are being overwritten by the styles in maincontent as it is below it in the style sheet (cascade). The hover of the words "Good Game" in this example is green which clashes with the background of the sidebars content. It should be a blue color. Why does a completely separate id overwrite the styling in a previous id? How can I improve this code to get the desired results. Line numbers eg (line 140) are just referencing where the code appears within the stylesheet and are not actually in the css sheet. HTML example: <div id="sidebar2"> <h1>Daily Content</h1> <ul> <li> <a href="(URL)">Good Game</a> </li></ul> </div> #sidebar2 li a:link, li a:visited (line 140) { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #336699; } #sidebar2 li a:active, li a:hover (line 148) { text-decoration: none; color: #2986aa; text-indent: 5px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } #mainContent a:link, li a:visited (line 157) { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #003366; } #mainContent li a:active, li a:hover (line 166) { text-decoration: none; color: #99cc66; text-indent: 5px; font-weight: bold; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } Similar TutorialsHi, I am having trouble setting up different link styles in my site. My code is: Code:
.menu {
font-family: Helvetica;
font-size: 18px;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
a.menu:link {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : none;
}
a.menu:visited {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : none;
}
a.menu:hover {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : underline;
}
a:link {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : underline;
}
a:visited {
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : underline;
}
a:hover {
color : #FFFFFF;
font-weight : bold;
text-decoration : underline;
}
From what I've read this should setup a default style for all links to follow, as well as define an alternate link style for anything in the menu class. So when I use the following code: <div class="menu"><I>01</I> <a href="">HOME</a></div> .. I would have thought the link would follow the style for .menu But it doesn't. It takes the style of the default links as well. How do I properly setup an alternate link style?? Newbie question...I've always struggled with getting my links to show up right (hover styles, visited styles, etc.) In this case, I want my links to show up without an underline normally, but with an underline when hovered over. When they're visited, I don't want there to be any difference. I want them to show up normally. Right now I've got Code: .leftnavtext A:link {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
}
.leftnavtext A:hover {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: underline;
}
.leftnavtext A:visited {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
}
.leftnavtext {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
}
And when I hover over a visited link, it doesn't get underlined. Any idea why? Thanks. Hi there, Is it possible to have the same name for a link style to a text style? For example: a.small:link{.... and .small{... Many thanks! I am trying to use the following in my external style sheet for my links: Code: a:link, a:visited{
color: #006699;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
a:hover {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}
a.big {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
}
a.big:hover {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
}
a.bigger {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: underline;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
font-weight: bold;
}
a.bigger:hover {
color: #006699;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 17px;
font-weight: bold;
}
My problem is that I can't get big & bigger to work properly in Internet explorer. When I hover over the link it goes to its proper size but when not hovering it stays at 11px. hi guys, I'm sure this is an easy fix but it's driving my little non-technical mind nuts... I have an external style sheet for a site, and it appears to be linked correctly as altering it does affect the text in my site. HOWEVER, the elements I've included to keep web links displaying as normal text aren't working (visited, hover, active, etc etc) Please help. Code below. .main { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; color: #000000; text-decoration: none; link {text-decoration: none; visited {text-decoration: none; hover {text-decoration: none; active {text-decoration: none; } Hi all. I am in the process of re-coding some beautiful email templates that were pure CSS layouts into nasty HTML nested tables so our clients can still see our newsletter when viewing them in Web based email browsers like Yahoo, GMail, etc. (since these often strip out our CSS sections) Typically we would define our link styles in CSS using something like: PHP Code: a, a:link, a:visited { color: #BF28B2; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; } I just realized I am not sure how to represent the same style when using inline styles such as <span style='...'>text</span>. Just what can I do to modify the link styles using inline styles? Thanks My link hover style isn't happening consistently in either browser. It seems to work better in FF than in IE7. Does anyone have a clue as to what I could look at to see what is causing this? All my navbar links behave just fine... URL removed Thanks! Does anyone know if there is a css property that applies to links that are linked to anchored tags on the page? Can there be a selector just for links that go to an anchor tag? I don't want to use a seperate class for only those links. thanks I need to create signature files for (Outlook) for my group. Until 2 days ago I knew nothing about css but I am learning. Coz Outlook only picks up the body from an html file I cannot use external css sheets, so all coding must be done inline. Only thing I can't figure out is the style for a weblink. Here's s snip of the relevant line: <a href="http://www.blabla.com.au" style="font: bold 8pt arial,sans-serif"> <span style="color:#ef812a; font-decoration: underline">www.blabla.com.au</span></a> The code (probably shabby) renders fine in Dreamweaver, but the sig in Outlook the underline shows blue - I want the underline for any link (visited, not visited) to show as #ef812a which is sort of orange. I can't figure out how to insert the a:link etc stuff. Thanks James Hi there, If i have a css class called td.header_menul how do i change the link colour for this class? I know how to change normal link colours but how do i change them to that specific one? Thanks! Is it possible to set link styles that are defined inside of a heading tag... for example, h1 a:link{bleh} h1 a:visited{bleh} h1 a:hover{bleh} I tried it... but it doesn't want to go, I'm thinking I might have to think of another solution Hello. I'm trying to figure out a way to define link states (link, active, hover, visited) using an inline style or in a manner other than specifying via an imported or embedded style sheet. The project I'm working on involves designing an HTML email (template) with links that have formatting specified. Some webmail providers (particulalrly gmail and hotmail) seem to strip the away all code from the BODY tag on up (I assume to avoid conflicts with their own formatting), making formatting a very creative endeavor. Anyhow, without specifying these attributes in the header, is there any other way of doing this? The best I can figure out is specifying a link color, but without allowing for changes on visited, active, or hovered links. I've been googling for hours, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. P.S. I know the prevailing attitudes on plain text vs html formatted emails and how it ties into spam, etc. I assure you this isn't being done in the context of spam, but rather, an opt-in newsletter for a client interested in sending fully formatted newsletters. :-) I need some really rediculous link styles, like all of the cool fading/pixelating ones that work on IE - but I can't find any for Firefox. Does anyone know if they exist, or where to find them? Hey all, So i have two files my html file: Code:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<a href="#">this is a test</a>
</body>
</html>
And my css file: Code:
a:link {color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}
a:visited {color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color:#CC0000;text-decoration:underline;}
a:active {color:#000000;text-decoration:none;}
except that the styles don't work on the links. If i put the styles in <style> tags in the html head it works, but in a seperate file they don't, can someone help me? thanks! - legit Edit, whoops sorry, I had the wrong name for my css file Dear all. Trying to overwrite a general <a>-formatting. For <a> <img /> </a> I do not want to have this formatting. How can I do this? I appreciate if you spend some time looking on this snippet (also via attachment). What should happen: The <a>-Tag makes show a small x in front of the link. For <img>-Tags included in <a> I don't want to show them. Any ideas? Code:
body {
background-color: #C1CDA9;
}
a {
background-image: url(arrow.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-left: 22px;
text-decoration: none;
color: #990000;
}
a img {
border: 1px solid white;
background-image: none; /* ??? should remove background (cross) from picture 4 */
}
#element {
background-color: lightgrey;
border: 1px solid grey;
}
#element a img {
border: 5px solid red;

I have a div containing some content from a database like so: Code: <div class="container"> Dynamic Content Here!!! </div> now, the dynamic content contains its own div and span elements, with their own css style attributes. Is there a way to make sure I overwrite the style elements of the inner divs/spans? I've tried applying classes to the div buts thats about all I can think of!? cheers, tom Attempting to inherit all main attributes of a column, and modifying few, what is the correct way to inherit/overwrite the attributes of col3 here ? Code: .col3, col3b {
float: left;
position: relative;
background: #FFFFFF;
width: 25%;
height: 80%;
left: 3%;
border-left: 1px solid #333;
margin: 3px 2px 4px 0;
}
.col3b {
border-left: none !important;
}
Tried as well like: Code: .col3 {
}
.col3 .col3b {
border-left: none !important;
}
note: not talking about a single 'inherit' value Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I've tried googling this and am not finding anything that helps or makes sense. I'm still relatively new to CSS. Anyway, here's my issue: I have a jquery navigation and have a style for the list in my <head> section. On one of my pages, I want to have a regular, vertical, bulleted list but something isn't letting it be vertical. I *think* it's the <head> style but I'm not sure. Would someone please have a look? Here's the HTML: [code] <script type="text/javascript" src="js/font_size.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script> <!-- navigation code adapted from code --> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.bgpos.js"></script> <style type="text/css"> ul {list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0;} li {float:left;width:110px;margin:2px;padding:0;text-align:center;} li a {display:block;padding:5px 10px;height:100%;color:#580d0a;text-decoration:none;border-right:2px solid #847f2e;border-bottom:2px solid #847f2e;} li a:hover, li a:focus, li a:active {background-position:-150px 0; color: #ebce72;} #nav a {background:linktomy(img/nav_bar.png) repeat 0 0;} </style> <script type="text/javascript"> $(function(){ $('#nav a') .css( {backgroundPosition: "0 0"} ) .mouseover(function(){ $(this).stop().animate({backgroundPosition:"(0 -250px)"}, {duration:500}) }) .mouseout(function(){ $(this).stop().animate({backgroundPosition:"(0 0)"}, {duration:500}) }) }); </script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> </head> <body> <div id="primary_container"> <div id="logo"> <a href="index.html"><img border="0" src="img/3hearts.png" alt="Heart Homes Tucson" /></a> </div> <div id="nav_bar"> <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="">Home</a></li> <li><a href="">About Us</a></li> <li><a class="nav-on" href=""><strong>Services & Locations</strong></a></li> <li><a href="">Faithful Heart Home</a></li> <li><a href="">Loving Heart Home</a></li> <li><a href="">Young at Heart Home</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="text_container2"> <h1> Services</h1> Tucson Heart Homes believes that everyone deserves the best care which is why our many services include: <ul top="-10px" left= "20px" list-style="disc" display="list-item"> <li>3 home-cooked and nutritious meals, as well as snacks, daily</li><br /> <li>24-hour State Certified Caregivers</li> <li>Fun daily activities designed to meet residence needs</li> <li>Personallized care plans by our Registerd Nurse</li> [code] .... etc I've tried creating a separate div in my CSS, I've tried putting the settings in here, nothing is working.... The CSS I have for the nav is: [code] div#nav_bar{ position: absolute; top: 125px; left: 5px; } ul#nav{ display: block; width: 150px; padding: 5px 18px; margin: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; } [code] Any help is greatly appreciated! This is my final project for a class and this is the LAST thing not working. Thank you! SMCorning I have a list, within a narrow width. Several items are too wide, and wrap. This would be okay, but the next line is then written on top of the wrapped text. What property could I use to prevent this? An example is in the image below: Colleagues, I seem to be having an issue on a page I am developing, where I am using CSS to position many of my elements. I have a banner at the top, and then have used absolute positioning of a couple of flash movies, a graphic and a javascript menu. I have used Xara Webstyle for creating the JS-based Menu. The problem I am experiencing, is that these are positioned in the order I mentioned, from the top to the middle of the page. I also then have some CSS positioned items below the menu. This menu is a tiered, or flyout menu of sorts, and when it drops down is should overlap the absolutely positioned items in the bottom of the page, but those items are overlapping the menu, I assume, because they are absolutely positioned. What I would like is to make the bottom items "go to the background" so to speak, so the javascripted menus writes over them. Is there some setting I am missing that would allow these bottom elements to be in background, so to speak, so that the menu drops will be on top?? Thanks for your help, in advance. Kork |
