CSS - Multiple Link Colors
I've set-up a few link colrs in a style sheet - I see it working in mac IE, and Safari - but not IE in windows.
Most of the formatting is being ignored. I'm going to try setting all attributes (link, visited, hover...) for each set but that seems like a reach. any ideas? the link: http://www.eightbyten.com/rc_store/shopcart_test.html the style sheet directly: http://www.eightbyten.com/rc_store/link.css Thanks! Similar TutorialsHi, Using CSS how can I set an individual bit of text to have a different link color then the rest of the links on my website? Thanks I'd like to be able to make some links on my page one color and others a different color so they show up appropriately on different backgrounds. how would i go about doing this? thanks Hello all I need help please :-) I have a website I am making that will have various boxes and each box has to have a different link color and hover over color. My issue is that teh css does not work in terms of making all the links display the correct color as outlined in the css file. here is my css file maybe someone can tell me what is wrong (I will comment in the file also whats not working Code: <style type="text/css"> body { background-image: url(./images/pgbg.gif); color: #000000; /*the below link attributes does not work */ visited: color:#000000; text-decoration: none; link: color:#000000; text-decoration: none; focus: color:#000000; text-decoration: none; active: color:#000000; text-decoration: none; hover: color: #CC0000; } .header{ background-image: url(./images/header.png); background-color:#E6E6E6; position:absolute; width: 900px; height: 100px; left: 50px; top: 5px; } .navbox1{ /*General Links Navbox*/ background-image: url(./images/navbg.png); position:absolute; background-color:#E6E6E6; width: 170px; left: 60px; top: 115px; padding-left: 5px; /*the below link attributes does not work */ visited: color:#E6E6E6; text-decoration: none; link: color:#E6E6E6; text-decoration: none; focus: color:#E6E6E6; text-decoration: none; active: color:#E6E6E6; text-decoration: none; hover: color: #CC0000; } .navbox2{ /*Users Links Navbox*/ background-image: url(./images/navbg.png); position:absolute; background-color:#E6E6E6; width: 170px; left: 60px; top: 310px; padding-left: 5px; /*the below link attributes does not work */ visited: color:#E6E6E6; text-decoration: none; link: color:#E6E6E6; text-decoration: none; focus: color:#E6E6E6; text-decoration: none; active: color:#E6E6E6; text-decoration: none; hover: color: #CC0000; } .loginbox{ /*Login Box*/ background-image: url(./images/navbg.png); position:absolute; background-color:#E6E6E6; width: 170px; left: 60px; top: 400px; padding-left: 5px; } .content{ background-color:#E6E6E6; position:absolute; width: 700px; height: 455px; left: 250px; top: 115px; padding-left: 10px } .footer{ position:absolute; width: 700px; left: 100px; top: 585px; color: #D6E7D3; } </style> Greetings all. I am building a site which displays data in tables, with different background colors and different text colors. I am using CSS for everything, and it's working out great. Very happy with it so far. What I want to do, and can't seem to figure out, is link / visited colors. In each line of data, some of the columns are links. I want to set the link text color to the same as the non-link text color. I can override the text color easily enough. If I want a row to be white on red, I do that by saying: <tr style="background-color: #f00; color: #fff" >. I cannot figure out how to change a link color. The cells in the row that are links, I want to make them white on red also. Not just the default link color for the page. Any help would, of course, be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom I'm making a page and I've got an a:link specification. I want a separate specification for a part of the page under a .header tag. The background on that part of the page doesn't match the a:link color I have specified for the rest of the page. So I want one specifically for the .header tag. Doesn't seem to be working though. How do you think I should throw it in there? I have a CSS that manages my site, but I've got a list of links that are dynamicly created with php/mysql. I have two lists that I would like to use non-CSS colors for their links. Is there a way to override the CSS to force certain colors on the links? I've tried using the normal <p> or style settings, but the main links portion of the CSS always takes precedence and I can't seem to make it work for me. A little background for you...the lists are as follows: 1 - a list of currently open jobs in the company 2 - a list of all jobs in the company Both lists are also links to the job descriptions. List 1 is created based on whether the database has the job flagged as open, so its never static. List 2 is not static either because it lists the jobs in the database. This is the new site I'm working on: http://animalemergencybloomington.com/Index2.html Link and Visited Link colors work, but I can't get Active or Hover color to work. (Doesn't work in any of the browsers I've tested it in.) Right now I have this in the <head> css Code: Original - css Code <style type="text/css"> body { color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana; margin: 0px 0px; } A:link { text-decoration: none } A:visited { text-decoration: none } </style> <style type="text/css"> and this for the <body>: <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" alink="#0000FF" vlink="#1E90FF"> adding a:active and a:hover colors to the style gives a "parse error" for those lines when I try to validate and doesn't work anyway as far as getting a color change on hover. I've been trying different combinations in the body and style all afternoon but get error warnings on everything I've tried except the above combo. I'm just trying for links that are never underlined (hate how cluttered that makes things look) but turn red on hoover. Help? Thanks, Ez I'm just starting to experiment with external css files and I'm stuck on how to deal with setting color for the links. When I put this in the html page itself it works fine: <style type="text/css"> a:link {color: #FF0000} a:visited {color: #00FF00} a:hover {color: #FF00FF} a:active {color: #0000FF} </style> But when I instead move it to the body section of my external css file and link to that css from my html file, it doesn't do anything (link colors just go back to the default). I know I'm generally setting up the external css file correctly since the other things I set in that external file get picked up correctly (font family, font size, background image, etc.). Any magic to using link colors in an external sheet?? In case it helps, here is my css file: Code: body { background-color: #000033; color: white; background-image:url(balbkgnd.gif); a:link {color: #FF0000} a:visited {color: #00FF00} a:hover {color: #FF00FF} a:active {color: #0000FF} } td { font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS; a:link {color: #FF0000} a:visited {color: #00FF00} a:hover {color: #FF00FF} a:active {color: #0000FF} } th { font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Trebuchet MS; a:link {color: #FF0000} a:visited {color: #00FF00} a:hover {color: #FF00FF} a:active {color: #0000FF} } This code works in IE but not in FF. Does Firefox not support these? <style type="text/css"> <!-- A:link { text-decoration: underline; color:"#ffffff"; } A:visited { text-decoration: underline; color:"#ffffff"; } A:active { text-decoration: underline; color:"#ffffff"; } A:hover { text-decoration: none; color:"#fffffff"; } Body { background:url(http://n0madism.tripod.com/mbg.jpg); background-color:#000000; background-repeat: no-repeat; font-family:Georgia; color:#ffffff; font-size:10 pt; text-align:left; scrollbar-face-color : #000000; scrollbar-highlight-color : #000000; scrollbar-3dlight-color : #000000; scrollbar-shadow-color : #000000; scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #000000; scrollbar-track-color : #000000; scrollbar-arrow-color : #FFFFFF; } td { font-family:Georgia; color:#ffffff; font-size:10 pt; } --> </style> I've searched the forum but can't find why my test with the following code works properly in IE (white link goinf yellowish on mouse over but not in FF or Op. It would be useful to correct this before going any further: Many thanks Robert ______________________________ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="description" content="test" content="test"> <title>test</title> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8895-1" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="testcss.css" TYPE="text/css"> </head> <body topmargin="0"> <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellspacing="1" width="760" bordercolor="#243348" height="50"> <span class="menu"> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item1.htm">item1</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item2.htm">item2</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item3.htm">item3</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item4.htm">item4</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item5.htm">item5</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item6.htm">item6</a></td> <td width="40" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"><a href="item7.htm">item7</font></a></td> <td width="41" align="center" bgcolor="#243348" height="50"> <p align="center"><a href="item8.htm">item8</font></a></td> </span></table> </div> </body> ______________________________ .menu a {text-decoration:none; font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt } .menu a:link {color:#FFFFFF; } .menu a:visited {.color:#FFE2A8; } .menu a:hover {color:#FFE2A8; } .menu a:active {.color:#FFE2A8; I'm trying to set up multiple link style schemes , but it works in IE, not in Firefox? In Firefox in a.link does same as a.intro:link. What do I do, what's wrong? a:link { color: #006600; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; } a:visited { color: #006600; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; } a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #66CC00; } a.intro:link { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; } a.intro:visited { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; } a.intro:hover { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #8DCB2E; } Is it possible to have multiple link classes? Currently, I'm using the pseudo elements a:link, a:visited, etc., but there are a couple of places in my layout where the colors for these links are the same color as my background. Is there any way that I can single out certain links using classes and set their colors to a different color like #ffffff Thank you in advance, Jim hello all i'm kind of new in CSS, so i'm with some questions regarding the way i can using it. For example, at the moment i d'like to have diferent link colors in the same page. Is it possible? how? I have seen the a:link option but applies only to whole page. thank in advance Hi all, I'm a newbie to CSS but I'm giving it a good crack and trying to learn all I can, reading and experimenting etc. I'm currently building a website for my wife's cake baking business and can't seem to get multiple CSS link classes working and I don't know why. I've been reading various websites on CSS for the last couple of hours but honestly can't see what I've done wrong. Any help would be appreciated. If you look at the site Ladybirdbakery co uk the top navigation has a .top_nav class that makes it white and the links are supposed to turn yellow and underline when you hover but they just don't. Similarly the small print links at the bottom, the mailto link underlines but the external link to my marketing website doesn't. I've tried re-writing the CSS a few times and put it through the W3 validation and it doesn't pull up any errors on my link classes that seem to be causing this issue. Could anyone offer me some advice so I can get this right and not make the same mistakes in the future? The CSS lives at the above address /ladybird.css Thank you very much. Ant I want to create a schema for different colored links. I'm stumped because I am pretty sure my syntax is correct, but it's not working correctly. I have created a class called "add" but my links in add are still showing up as the default. A portion of my css: Code: a.add:link{ color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } a.add:visited { color: #0000FF; } a.add:hover { color: white; text-decoration: underline; } My link using "add": Code: <a class="add" onclick="window.open('add_tnosc_password.jsp', 'window_one');" style="cursor:hand">Add</a> I'm building a site that will have a style sheet that should be applied site wide (main.css) and then some pages will have styles that should only be applied to them (custom<X>.css). Should I use multiple <link> tags to import each stylesheet or should I edit custom<X>.css and add @import "main.css"; to the beginning. Doing this would make the code look cleaner, but will the browser still cache the main.css file? Am I being too persnickety about the look of my code and just use multiple <link>s? I am using a table bg mouseover CSS effect. In FireFox and my dreamweaver workspace, the page looks fine. However in IE, the section where I used the CSS effect has a slightly different color. What could be the cause of this? Thanks. wait, i just figured out that its the image that is a different color... so my new question is, why? Hey everyone. I posted this in another forum, but we were unable to get the issue resolved, so I thought I would try posting here. I am having trouble getting some colors to work on my pages with CSS. I went through and made an index.html, in which I setup all my layout, graphics, colors, etc. I then took that and turned it into header.php and footer.php, with a new index.php file. My problem is that now when I upload up index.php to the server and go to view it, all the text formatting and layout of the page works fine, but the background, heading, link, etc. colors are just showing up as the defaults. The colors that I am working with are not from the websafe pallet, but I think that they are supported by most browsers (519A00, 5B4C34, 33435A, E5EDF9). Now that I think about it, it cant be browser support because it all works just fine in the index.html file. The link to the previous forum post is here There was a rather long discussion on possible causes there, but we never found a solution. I would really appreciate any help you may be able to offer. Thanks in advance, -Jonathan hello everyone, I can't get colors to show in firefox for the life of me. I have this used by a javascript mutliple times and need different colors. Help please, let me know if you need more info. Code: .signalButton{ width:80px; height:4; background-color: #0066FF; } Thank You, Wasim Hey all. I am attempting to create a memberlist type page for my website that has a list on the left and when clicked it shows the members information on the right. I have the positioning down and everything but the problem I am running into is how it displays in IE and Firefox. In Firefox my list looks exactly how I would like it to and works fine. In IE however, the png images i used for the "Memberlist Title" and the bottom rounded edges image appear a different color than the list items... . Also, when clicked the list item stays highlighted with the rollover color and I cant figure out why. Here is my css its at bestinefight.net/memberlist.php Code: /* Memberlist */ #navcontainer { width: 210px; margin-left:109px; } #navcontainer ul { margin-left: 0; padding-left: 0; list-style-type: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } #navcontainer a { display: block; width: 200px; background-color: #4B4535; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; border: 0; } #navcontainer a:link, #navlist a:visited { font-size:10px; color: #dbdfaa; text-decoration: none; border: 0; padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; outline:none; } #navcontainer a:hover, #navlist a:active { font-size:10px; background-color: #8B8063; color: #dbdfaa; border: 0; text-decoration:none; outline:none; } #profile_holder { background-image:url(profile.png); background-position:top; background-repeat:no-repeat; width:300px; height:200px; float:right; margin-right:30px; } #profile { width:260px; height:180px; margin: 40px auto; } #memberlist { width:250px; height:300px; float:left; } #memberlist_title { background-image:url(memberlist.png); width:228px; height:31px; margin-left:100px; } #memberlist_bottom { background-image:url(memberlist_bot.png); height:21px; width:210px; margin-left:109px; } Here is the code for my page.
