CSS - Special Characters In External Css

HI all,
I've a problem. When my page is on hard drive it works fine. When I upload it to server, some characters screw up, such as three dots in a row.. and other punctuation. Take a look at the popup:
http://www.mustsh.com.cn/testingdim.html

Also.. any suggestions? My design is fairly whack..

I apologise if this has already been asked and covered but Ive just done a search and it turned up nothing.

What Im trying to do is create a css class so that when I get an amount of text return from a db that I can format it so that I have a certain amount of characters on one line before it creates a new line.

What is happening presently is that the data is formatted and it is stretching the table out of line with the format of the page.

Thanks for any help

Is there an elegant way to style the index characters in ordered lists? I want the numbers I'm using to index my ordered lists to be the same height and color as the <h*> elements appearing next to them. I'm getting what I want by "turning on" what I want in the <li> element and then "turning off" what I've turned on in the parts of the list item whose heights and colors I do not want to change. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks for your help.

Here's a snippet of the relevant code:

The xhtml:
Code:

<ol class="list-no-indent">
<li class="bb-color"><h3 class="no-margin-pad">An Item Heading</h3>
<span class="bb-color-off">A bunch of text</span></li>
<li class="bb-color"><h3 class="no-margin-pad">Another Item Heading</h3>
<span class="bb-color-off">A bunch more text</span></li>
</ol>

The style sheet:
Code:

.list-no-indent {
  padding-left : 1.5em;
  }

.list-no-indent h3 {
  text-size : 1em;
  }

.bb-color {
 	color : #f33;
 	font-weight : bold;
 	}
 	
.bb-color h3 {
 	font-size : 1em;
 	}

h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
 	color : #f33;
 	}

.bb-color-off {
 	color : #009;
 	font-weight : normal;
 	}

.no-margin-pad {
 	margin-bottom : 0;
 	padding-bottom : 0;
 	}

In my project I have my project folder, in which there are 3 subfolders: CSS, JS & PHP. In my php web files I have a header link to an external CSS file (in the CSS folder) controlling certain styles in each PHP files.
Code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./CSS/Home.css" />

Yet, the CSS is not having any affect in my php file(s). Can any hazard a guess as to what could be causing this? Appreciate any ideas? It could be something obvious. but I'm not seeing it.

I was wondering what is best to use? I don't mean standard internal CSS that is hard coded but I would use PHP to build a template before it is spat out to the browser and it would make an external css file into part of the client side source code.

I think this would be more efficient for rendering purposes than linking to external CSS files in a document?

Any thoughts? It would also help us in building our cacheing engine.

Is it possiable for me to add an external font family on a certain text? I mean.. Is it possible for me to use ttf fonts on css to modify my html page?

P.S: I hope It makes sense.. because I'm tired

First off, I am a noob, but i learn quickly...

I have a cgi site (poor me) and it uses css and javascript, which i am just learning. I noticed that javascript tags refer to an exteral file, since the same fuctions are used on many different pages. The same css definitions are used over and over again also, but they are defined in each page (like 50 or 60 files). Can I create a css only file like my .js files and simply refer to it like i do with javascript? If so what does the format look like?

Thanks,

I am creating a website that uses English and Japanese characters. The default font size I use for English characters displays the Japanese characters too small. I would like the Japanese characters to display in a certain size whenever and wherever they appear. I can't simply use classes because I have English and Japanese appearing in the same elements a lot of the time. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm using external style sheets on a couple of sites, and have the following problem:

When I click and drag down over the text, to copy & paste it into an email or whatever, all the text on that page is automatically highlighted .... I can't control the drag / selection, it's all or nothing.

When I click and drag upwards, nothing happens at all ... it won't work.

Any way to solve this? I don't get this problem with internal style sheets.

Hello.
I appreciate your help very much, (the subject might or might not be
directly replated to python(I realy don't know what's it related to))
Binding external css (the basic CSS1 standard) file to an html doesn't work.
[ It does work if the styles definitions are embedded in the page itself ]
I'm using apache on linux and I tried 2 browsers ( mozilla 1.5-3(debian) and konqueror 3.1.5 )
I'm using the very simple example which doesn't work

#!/usr/bin/python
print 'Content-Type: text/html\n\n'
print '''<html>
<head>
<link href="jazzy.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<h1> hello </h1>
</body>
</html>
'''

and the css file ( jazzy.css) looks like
h1 {color: yellow;
background: yellow;
}
p {margin-left: 20px}
body {background: red;
color:red
}


Both files are in the same virtual directory and both have full permissions(rw) for everyone.
I Idon't have an idea what the problem is.
Thanks a lot

Can you cache external css files (to make pages that use the same css file load faster)? If so, how?

BTW, here is how I currently load my css (from zen garden):
Code:

<STYLE type=text/css media=all>@import url(/main.css);

I have this tag in an external css file

Code:

td {
   text-align:left;  //and yes i know that its left by default
}

Inside my html file I have a td with alignment set to right, which according to my understanding should override the external css file, however it doesn't. The content is still left aligned. Why is that?

Thanks

Hello

I'm having trouble with displaying a background image in a div.

It worked fine with embedded CSS but when I changed the CSS to external, the text loads but the bg image doesnt.

I'll post some code to explain it...

This is in the external style sheet:

#navbgtop {
position:absolute;
left:38px;
top:185px;
width:194px;
height:18px;
z-index:2;
background-image: url(images/navbartop.jpg);
}








and yes of course I have made the proper link to it in the <head> tag:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/nav.css" media="all" />


For some reason the background image wont display. Any ideas?



One more question also, does it matter if I use media="all" for the whole website? Or do I even need to bother using media=xyz ? I heard most browsers don't even read that as of yet.
