CSS - Css Hover/link Visited Problems

Having two problems, kind of related to browsers.
1) Most of the time, the site loads better under Firefox. For some reason, Firefox won't implement the text-decoration:none attribute. Any ideas?

2) Also, the on hover flip filter doesn't seem to be working in IE, which i was told was the only browser that would work in? I think I used bad syntax, but can't find it. Help would be appreciated!

edit--i used the html validation and the css one, the html said I cant use the xspace and vspace in this iframe:

<iframe class="fade" style="position:absolute; top:125; left:200;"
src="blog.html" width="400" height="400" frameborder="0" align="left" xspace="3" vspace="3"></iframe>

this is the only i frame I use, and was something I got off a frames tutorial... guess i didn't learn it well enough?
was a ton more wrong with the css, but it wasn't like the html validator and telling me where i went wrong.

here is the full css file:

.fade{filter:alpha(opacity=70); -moz-opacity:0.7; background:#ffffff;}

font, td{color:#0000FF; font-size:medium; font-family:sans-serif; font:"Comic Sans MS",Tahoma;}

a,a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active { font-size:medium; font-weight:bold; font-family:sans-serif; font:"Comic Sans MS",Tahoma; text-decoration:none; }
.link1 a:link { color:#0000FF; }
.link1 a:visited { color:#0000FF; }
.link1 a:hover { color:#0000FF; filter:flipv; }
.link1 a:active { color:#0000FF; }

.link2 a:link { color:#0000F5; }
.link2 a:visited { color:#0000F5; }
.link2 a:hover { color:#0000F5; filter:flipv; }
.link2 a:active { color:#0000F5; }

could someone please help me figure out what I did to my fonts, and where the links are preventing the underline decoration from being disabled?

Good day,

I am a newbie, both to CSS and to these forums.

I recently undertook a job to update a website for a charity and am dealing with the previous webmasters coding, both html and css. I am trying to modernize the site a bit, it is very 1997.

I am running into a bit of trouble with the hover class on one of my pages. When a link has been visited, it no longer changes color and highlights on hover. I read on multiple forums, this one included that it is because you must define hover last, after visited, active, etc. I did this, but still does not work. I am using Firefox 2.

Here is the code I am working with, sorry that is is a bit lengthy, I don't know what parts are important or not because when I just change the hover, link, visted part it doesn't work.

The page I am working with is at beverlyfoundation . org / library / index . html

I have another problem with IE for Windows:
I have several links which should not appear as links but should inherate the colors (grey or black) and decoration (none) from their parents ... works fine every where except MSIE for windows (where the usual red and blue - but no underline - appear)

the relevant styles:

<style type="text/css">

a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}

a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: inherit;
}
</style>

the relevant html:

<h3 style="padding: 0; margin: 0.25em;color:#000000; ">Some <a href="http://www.theDanceGypsy.com/danceFinder.shtml" target="viewFrame">Dance Events</a> near you:</h3>
<ul class="newsList">
<li><a href="http://www.thedancegypsy.com/danceList.php?dance=dance-26:6-4" target="viewFrame"><span class ="unconfirmed">6/25: Bernardston~ <cite>Eastern Squares</cite>
</span></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.thedancegypsy.com/danceList.php?dance=dance-30:6-4" target="viewFrame">6/26: Brattleboro~ <cite>Paneurhythmy</cite>
</a></li>

anyone have any idea for a workaround?
Thanx

I am using an external CSS where I am defining the color of my links when un-visited, visited etc.
The problem is in Netscape 7.1/7.2
those links which are calling my other pages, are being shown up as visited when clicked,.

But those where I say href='javascript:void(0);my js function'

are not being shown with the correct 'visited' link color. They are being shown in the color specified for 'un-visited' links!!

Can someone help??

One is my fault for sure, the other maybe not.
http://67-42-48-70.eugn.qwest.net/s...playseries2.php

That's my site. If it's down, it basically some links that when hovered, display an image. The css is below.

Code:

.seriesbox
{


height: auto;
width: auto;

}


.flashybox
{

/*float: left;*/
display: block;
height: auto;
width: auto;

}



.flashybox a span
{

display: none;
float: left;
color: yellow;
}

.flashybox a:hover span
{
display: inline;
float: none;
color: blue;
}

It works well in FF etc etc. But not IE6.
Also there's a weird purple line at the bottom of the image. Like this


Here is the relevant HTML for the rollover issue.

Code:

<div class="flashybox">

<b>G</b><br/><a href="addcharacter.php?series=Gankutsuou&addnewcharacter=false">Gankutsuou<br/>
<span><img src="pictures/gankutsuou.jpg" ></span></a>
<br/></div>

Any ideas on what I could do?

i have an icon on the site that users can place their mouse cursor over and a popup appears with helpful info. however on a friends machine today i found that the popup appears out of place....is thre a way that i can place the popup statically in one place on any machine...

here is the code
Code:

div#tooltip a span {display: none;}
div#tooltip a:hover span {display: block;
   position: absolute; top: 270px; left: 705px; width: 125px;
   padding: 5px; margin: 10px; z-index: 100;
   color: black; background-color:#FFFFCC; border: 1px solid #ccc;
   font: 10px Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: center;}

an example of this can been seen here

any help would be helpful

thanks

Hello,
I am designing a web page and I am having problems with a hover effect in IE6. The page is located at http://www.backontrack.nu/egusin/layout.php and if you hover over the menu items using Firefox (or any other real browser) you will see the hover effect. If you try doing this in IE6 there won't be any hover. Is there some obvious way of fixing this that I'm missing?
Another thing, I would like to center the page. I can do this by adding margin: 0 auto; to the container class but this doesn't work in IE6. I know I could do the centering with a wrapper and some negative margins but I'd rather avoid that if at all possible. The odd thing someone at http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/examples/csslayout1.html is using the technique I tried for centering and it seems to work for him, even in IE6.
Thanks in advance!
/Robert

Thanks for taking the time to read my question.

I am having problems with hover on my menu. Just before you mouse over the next button, the previous one lights up. I really don't know why.

See: #MenuItemTop and #MenuItem

I've attached my html, and my css. I have no where to post it.

Thanks again.

Brad

Not sure what this is referred to. I checked my dhtml book but its from 2000! I want to apply link, visited, hover, active to below code:

Code:

#print_category {
     position: absolute;
     left: 35%;
     top: 30%;
     font-size: 13px;
     text-align: left;
     line-height: 2 ;
     margin-right: 5em;
		}

Properties I want to apply:

A:link {color: #000099;
text-decoration: underline;
}

A:visited {color: #000099;
text-decoration: none;
}

A:hover {color: #000099;
text-decoration: none;
}

A:active {color: #000099;
text-decoration: none;
}

How can this be done, Ive tried but to no avail:

- A#print_category:active {color: #000099;
text-decoration: none;
}

Thanks!

Hello,

The hover link looks good on IE7 and FF but not on IE6

Hello
I would like to make a hover effect when my mouse is over a link, as shown in my attachment.
What I want is, as shown in the attachment (at design time), when I hover on any link, two horizontal lines are added at the top and bottom of that specific link, and a slight black transparency appears as well as a highlighter (not the text of the link, and by default the background will be slightly grayed).
Anyone can help me with this?

Edit: even if the black transparency does not appear is not a problem, but how to implement the two lines? Am using only css and html here, no javascript or any other libraries.

I wish to have links for the menu like this: http://www.tristarwebdesign.co.uk/templates/templates/karma/index.html

However, I wish to have MY OWN font style on each links as it can be seen on:

The only difference I want is that this guy has used "title" in order to display text on each "li" link, while I would like to use MY OWN font style instead as can be seen from my page on: http://members.lycos.co.uk/darsh25/Personal%20Website/contact.php

i.e. the font style that can be seen in links like About, Services, Owner, Template & Contact.

Code:

				
<li><a title="link six" href="index.html">link six</a></li>
<li><a title="link five" href="index.html">link five</a></li>
<li><a title="link four" href="index.html">link four</a></li>
<li><a title="link three" href="index.html">link three</a></li>
<li><a title="link two" href="index.html">link two</a></li>
<li><a title="link one" href="index.html">link one</a></li>

My links are saved as an "image" (both background & the text on it) & as far as I'm aware, I couldn't possibly "hover" EACH INDIVIDUAL image of EACH of these links using CSS, could I ???

I know that I could "hover" change the background colour, but then what about the text on it ??? Is it possible to use the same fancy font AND being able to change the background colour when hover to "grey" (just as it could be seen from the "tristar" website.

My CSS code so far is:

I am attempting to create a link on a page that will only appear when it is hovered upon. This is to direct an administrator to an admin page. Here is what I have attempted so far to no avail:

Code:

div.headleft {
    text-align: right;
    width: 100%;
}

div.headleft a:link {
    display: none;
}

div.headleft a:visited {
    display: none;
}

div.headleft a:hover {
    display: block;
    background: inherit;
    color: #ff0000;
}

div.headleft a:active {
    display: none;
}

I have tried a few variations to the above snippet of code and am at my wits end...

My gratitude ahead of time...

I have the following code, but the CSS file that I have already defines link and hover to be something else

Is there a way I can edit the div#hdr_cnt to have it's own definition of the hover and link?

Thanks for the help


Code:

div#hdr_ctr	{ width:100%; min-width:670px; background-color:#FFF; overflow:hidden; margin:0; padding:0; text-align:center; color:#000000}

div#hdr_cnt { background: url('http://www.hobbyspeed.com/header/hobbyspeed.jpg') no-repeat center; width:670px; height:73px; margin:0 auto; padding:0;}	
	div#hdr_cnt ul.l { float:left; margin:15px 0 0 18px; padding:0; list-style-type:none; direction:rtl; text-align:right; color:#000000}	
	* html div#hdr_cnt ul.l { margin-left: 9px; color:#000000 }	
	div#hdr_cnt ul.r { float:right; margin:15px 0 0 20px; padding:0; list-style-type:none; direction:ltr; text-align:left;}
