CSS - Stylesheet Blues

Hey,

I've run into a problem where I though i knew how to do it an easy way but it only worked for about 5 minutes.

Here is what I have. All of my pages have the same navigation from an external PHP file. The style is saved in the main.css stylesheet. When you select a link it gets a background image.

I thought that I could save my self having to edit every page for IE by doing this in the main.css stylesheet
Code:

* html>#navwhatever{
/*set to gif iamge instead of PNG image*/
background-image:url('image/splash_legion.gif');
}

This doesn't work. It still uses the PNG images. I'd realy like not to have to edit every page to fix my site for IE, any suggestions would be great.

Thanks for reading

Can you only exclude elements from a Print stylesheet?

I'd like to print only a table of data and nothing else on the web page in a print style sheet.

ok the stylesheet contains this:
BODY, TD, TR, P, UL, OL, LI, INPUT, SELECT, DL, DD, DT, FONT
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Clean, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}

and I need to add this into it

BODY {
scrollbar-face-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #D1D7DC;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #006699;
scrollbar-track-color: #EFEFEF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #98AAB1;
}

Ok here's what I don't understand. The original stylesheet(used by a php script) contains lots of things at the top separated by commas. Does that mean that it will affect all of those things?
So I have to do this?

BODY
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Clean, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
scrollbar-face-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #FFFFFF;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #DEE3E7;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #D1D7DC;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #006699;
scrollbar-track-color: #EFEFEF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #98AAB1;
}

TD, TR, P, UL, OL, LI, INPUT, SELECT, DL, DD, DT, FONT
{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Clean, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}

Sorry about the newbie question, but I gotta start some where.

On the one hand Accessibility guidelines state that sites should work even if stylesheets fail to load...

... and then on another hand, you're told not to include any style/layout/formatting within an html page - to use the stylesheet instead.

My question is this. Say i create a site which is arranged in the common layout of header at top, nav menu floated to the left, main content sitting on the right, and then footer below.

Should the layout of the div's, namely the float left etc be within the webpage or the stylesheet.

I guess most people will say stylesheet, but that means if the stylesheet fails to load, the site layout will be completely messed up with the content appearing below the nav menu.

Do you make an exception in this case and include some limited layout-style information in the webpage? What are people's opinions on this?

Hello All,

I was hoping that you could look at a site for me, and help me figure out what is causing the rendering issues in IE6/7. I have a separate CSS stylesheet for anything that is IE7 or lower; however, I am not sure if it is actually loading at all.

I don't really have access to IE6/7 in a live environment, to check everything about the site, so if anyone has any suggestions for tools that will allow me to work with a live view of IE6/7 that would be a great help as well.

The site link is: http://www.saracanada.com/

Thanks in advance everyone.

Hiya, theres a website I'm creating a print stylesheet for which includes the company logo in the header, with a footer of contact details. problem is, the website is all static pages and 100 odd pages, so as I'm having to deal with the static state of the site for now, is there a way I can have in the Print stylesheet or in the CSS where the logo can be inserted in a header and a footer created with text? hope this makes sense?

Hi people,

I am completely new to programming and have only spent this weekend learning it!

I have managed to create a decent website already, however i am stuck at a point. On my main page, i have attached a CSS stylesheet with all the formatting for my page. My problem however is that when i try to format one section (<div id="gallery">) the formatting messes with the rest of the page.

Is there a way that i can assign a style sheet to only that <div id="gallery"> without it applying to the entire html page.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Chris

I'm fairly new at web development and pretty much a newbie at using CSS. I noticed on foxnews.com that they use a parameter with the CSS file. I've did searches on this but not turned up alot.

Code:

<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="/css/mainStyles2004.css?v2">
	<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="/css/rootStyles.css?v3">

I'm assuming the ?v2 and ?v3 are PHP like paramters. I looked at the CSS file using the firefox web developer toolbar and I didn't see any referance to v2 or v3 in those files? Can anyone explain this to me?

hello guys! i have a form that contains a listbox, and am using IE6, and i put up a link to my external css file, but the appearance of listbox scroll bars didn't change, only the size of the font was changed, do i am missing something? or this is not possible to change the appearance of scrollbars for the listbox?

below is my HTML code:
PHP Code:
<html>

<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<LINK href="styles.css" type=text/css rel=StyleSheet>
</head>

<body>

<form method="POST" action="test.htm">
    <p><select size="5" name="test">
    <option value="1">one</option>
    <option value="2">two</option>
    <option value="3">three</option>
    <option value="4">four</option>
    <option value="5">five</option>
    <option value="6">six</option>
    <option value="7">seven</option>
    <option value="8">eight</option>
    <option value="9">nine</option>
    <option value="10">ten</option>
    </select><input type="button" value="Submit" name="B1"></p>
</form>
</body>

One of the websites, that I frequently visit, uses different stylesheet for printing.
I want the same (i.e. "screen.projection") stylesheet to be used while printing. I will like to have a bookmarklet that will disable the "print" stylesheet mentioned on the second line in the following example.

<style type="text/css" media="screen,projection">/*<![CDATA[*/ @import "/style/main.css"; /*]]>*/</style>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href= "/style/commonPrint.css"/>

Hi,

I am mainly concerned if this page's button navigation looks okay in Internet Explorer. It looks okay in Firefox, but when I view it in IE the blue background keeps popping through.

I have been told that it looks fine in IE, but it does not in MY version of it. So would you please use Internet Explorer to look at....

http://thetransactiongroup.net/advisor/NEW/thursday5.asp

Again, it's the left navigation buttons I am only concerned about. If it looks okay to one or two of you then maybe it's some bug in my own copy of IE.

If you see the button problem in IE then I will then ask for help to fix it.

THANKS

I am using this css for my entire site, and it all shows up right under IE and Firefox. Konqueror is fine, just wont show the opacity filter. I tried to get it validated, and it doesn't like the opacity lines. First try at an external stylesheet, so could use the help.
I can't find anything on correct syntax to use other than what I have already used.


@charset "ISO-8859-1";

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

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

a { font-size:medium; font-weight:bold; font-family:Comic Sans MS,sans-serif; text-decoration:none; color:#0000FF; }

.link1 a { color:#0000FF; }

Hi, I'm pretty new to this so not 100% sure what I'm talking about. I'm trying to complete a university project, in order to do so I have to move images using a style sheet and have done so successfully so far but today when trying to move my rollovers the stylesheet didnt move my images. Previous images I moved worked but the new ones dont. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
