thanks Similar TutorialsHello 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:

Hi, 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'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! 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. 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? 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 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 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 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 */

Thank You, Wasim I see that CSS3 will finally have support for this, but I thought I'd stumbled upon support in CSS1 or CSS2(.1) also. I even printed it out, though I can't find it now. Does anyone know how to alternate row colors in CSS2.1 without resorting to tr.row1 and tr.row2 or scripting? Suppose I have the following: Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>My site</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
<style type="text/css">
#outer_div {
width: 800px;
height: 300px;
background-color: red; }
.interior { background-color: #ffffff; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="outer_div">
<div class="interior">
<p>Hello I am some text. </p>
<p>How are you today?</p>
<p>Would you like some waffles?</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
The way this appears in FireFox (I haven't tested in other browsers yet) is that the 3 lines print on a white background that spans the width of the browser and then sits on top of the red background. The way that I would like it to appear is for the white background to extend only as far as the longest line. Also, I can't assume that it will only be paragraph tags, it may be links, images, headers, lists, well anything. My question is how can I achieve this? Basically I don't want the inner div to automatically be as wide as the outer div but only as wide as it needs to be. I'm trying to get some simple css formatting to work and it works the way I want but not in explorer, it won't show my color/border/image anything attributes until I literally highlight the content via the mouse. And not always. Of course, it works fine in firefox and the css validates so.....please glance over it and see if you can find any errors. thanks! here's the url http://www.emotika.com/testing/test.htm here's the source Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
