CSS - Ie Internal Css Overriding Mine???

Hi there!
http://pastebin.com/m46dae086

Basically, see line #218? I define a background image for my lists, and it works great.

See line #473? I try to erase the background image if the <dl> class has the "forum" class attached to it.

That background's not going away. What am I doing wrong?

I have one css file
which is linked to all my html pages

That css file defines a style for all my
<a> tags

ie - a:link, a:visited, a:hover etc.

Theres one html file
where i need a different style for some of the <a> tags
ive set a sepecific class on these tags ie:
<a class="set1" etc

and in my css file ive tried the following

.set1 a:link
{
etc
}

but for some reason this doesnt override the style on the generic a tags
ie it seems to keep using
a:link {

}

ignoring the

.set1 a:link
{
etc
}

help!

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

Can someone please help me?

I am trying to get my left side column to meet my footer image... just like on this website:

newcastlegateshead.com

See how they side bar goes all the way down and meets the footer?

Mine has a one inch gap between the bottom of the column and the footer.

Does anyone know what they did to make it meet perfectly?Or the proper css code & where to put it? I've been trying to get this solved for dayyyssss

Thank you so much...

On my site, we use CSS to change the appearance of all form fields, using the following:

INPUT
{
font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 13px;
color: #484848;
background: #EFF4F9;
border: 1px solid #484848;
padding: 2px;
}

Unfortunately, I have a single submit button that for various reasons, I want to have looking like the normal, gray, ugly button. Is there some way to turn off the CSS for this single button? Or somehow override the CSS to make it look like a normal button?

I am working in Drupal and have a menu with secondary levels. I have coded css on the menu a tag with borders and no background.

.primary-menu-inner ul.sf-menu a {
color: #FFFFFF;
display:block;
border-left:1px solid #ffcc33;
border-right:1px solid #6f4c23;
}

I am trying to override the .primary-menu-inner ul.sf-menu li.active-trail

.primary-menu-inner ul.sf-menu li.active-trail {
background: url(../images/nav.png) no-repeat right -64px;
border-bottom:1px solid #a67c52;
border-right:1px solid #a67c52;
border-left: 1px solid #38230b;
visibility: visible;
}

to where the borders settings on the a tag does not show up on the li.active trail.

Any suggestions would be great...

Hey all, I'm having an issue with the float property. I have 2 nested div tags both floated left, to create two columns, but the div tag holding them doesn't seem to stretch around them. it's looks basically like this...

<div id="container">
<div id="leftCol">
stuff
</div>
<div id="rightCol">
more stuff, WOOT!
</div>
</div>

I only run into the problem with FireFox, so i know that i'm not doing something right! Can anyone help.. thanks!

In my main CSS file, the background-color is set to #FFFFFF (white)

however this also erased my background images in the cells of my table
i have tried to add them with style tags, but the main CSS still overrides

Top of the table + cell with bg
PHP Code:
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center">
                <tr>
                    <td width="766" height="295" valign="top"  style="background-image:url(images/row1.gif);
background-repeat:no-repeat "> 







This is the main CSS:
PHP Code:
 body,td,th {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 11px;
    color:#5D5D5D;
        background-color:#FFFFFF;

}
body {
    font-family: Tahoma;
    font-size: 11px;
    color:#5D5D5D;
        background-color:#FFFFFF;

} 

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 there a way to only clear floats within an element without affecting any floats defined about and outside the element?

example:

<div style="float:left;">A</div>
<div style="float:right;">
<div style="float:left;">C</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>

I would want the clear to only clear C and not A

Im kinda new in CSS so sorry if this is a noob question
Im having trouble making an external stylesheet because for some reason my html is just not loading the .css file. But I also read that an external is a little slower aswel if i'm not mistaken, because it has to read another file.
But I'm in the internal stylesheet is working good but I noticed I can't create a new class using the "." before the word. Is there anyway I can create a class using the css inside the html file?

Here's the template I'm working on: http://dhost.info/justusvizslas/template.php

Here's my problem:
I'm trying to create a centered, two-column layout with a header and a footer, sort of like the tutorial he http://nemesis1.f2o.org/aarchive?id=7

I've got everything working correctly and it looks fine in IE. However, in FireFox, the container div doesn't automatically adjust its height to be the same as the height of the divs inside. Instead, I have to set the height at a certain number of pixils to even get the container div to show up. When I do that, in IE the container div defaults to the same height as the larger of the two inner divs, but in FireFox the container div just stays at whatever pixil height I specified. That becomes problematic because I don't plan on having all my pagecontent divs with the same height.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated. I've been looking at this for hours and haven't gotten it to work like it should. Here's the relevant code too:
CSS
Code:

#container {
		width:792px;
		height:50px;
		margin: auto auto;
		color:#000000;
		background-color:#FFFFFF;
		background-image:url(design/menuimage.gif);
		background-repeat:repeat-y;
		}
		
#navigation {
		width:125px;
		height:auto;
		padding:0px;
		float:left;
		margin-top:auto;
		vertical-align:top
		}

#pagecontent {
		width:667px;
		height:auto;
		padding:0px;
		float:left;
		margin-top:auto;
		color:#000000;
		background-color:#FFFFFF;
		text-align:center
		}

PHP
Code:

<div id="container">
  	<div id="navigation"><?php include "nav.php"; ?></div>  
	<div id="pagecontent">
  		<br />Some more content here<br />
	</div>
</div>

Again, thank you in advance for any help with this. If you're stumped and think it should work as-is, go ahead and go to the actual template I'm working on (first http link in this post) and look at it in IE and in FireFox to note the difference.

Hi there,

I'm haing a problem getting my navigation to appear correctly in Mac IE 5.2 and Safari 2.0.1. The dates on the right are supposed to pop you down to the date in the central box.

It works correctly on a PC, all browsers.

I replaced NAME with ID.

Thanks for any help or suggestions!

hi, i wanted to change a look of form submit buttons a bit and i found out i can do it using inline css, example:
Code:

<input type="submit" name="subbtn" value="Send" style="background-color: #fbbe2c; width: 120px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #66666;">

but can't figure out how to define it using internal or external css.
i tried this:
Code:

<head>
<style type="text/css">
input.btn { background-color: #fbbe2c; width: 120px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; color: #66666; }
</style>
</head>

...
<input type="submit" name="subbtn" value="send" class="btn">

which seems the most correct to me, but it doesn't work. style defined in this way is ignored.
i'm sure there is a way to do it, but it seems i don't know the right way.
could you help, please?

I have a rule called #MainContent. Now I want to change this rule for just one page so I duplicate it but don't add it to the global style sheet but declare the rule for this page only. However this doesnt work the div still changes based on the #MainContent rule in the global css file
