css simple question- i think - 4/20/2004 13:48:37
First time using CSS for formating (not for layout, still using tables).
I'm using an external CSS style sheets and i'm not sure if i'm putting the code in the right place in the HTML page.
Here's a link. (only the index page works)
http://home.earthlink.net/~pongping/aes/index.htm
Here's what my style sheet looks like:
/* COMMENT */
/* file name aes_style.css */
a:link { color: #999999; text-decoration: none}
a:hover { color: #ffffff; text-decoration: underline}
a:visited { color: #999999; text-decoration: none}
a:active { color: #999999; text-decoration: none}
.text {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #999999;
}
.footer{
font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #999999;
}
Can someone look at the code? specifically down at the footer comment. I placed div classes called "footer" which is calling for the stylesheet stuff.
Question
1. How come the hover command is not working (I did this by hand not using FP, so i thought it would work)
2. Do i need to put the div code in each cell as i did? or is there a more efficient way of coding it for example put the div class="footer" somewhere only once and it will afffect all the text between the starting div and the end tag </div>?
Thanks!

- It works for me.

- If you put the class = footer it will make the default code inside of the div use the footer class unless otherwise specified.

I'm looking at in IE adn netscape and the hover isn't working on the bottom links, they just stay grey (they should be going to white). What are you using?
quote:

I think i know what you're saying.. I'm barely understanding the css as is and have never used div's before so bare with me :-). But can I put the div class ="footer" in the first cell in the table and then end it at the last cell and everything inbetween will be affected? or do i need to put it in each cell with text and do i need to close the div's, they seem work even when i don't but wasn't sure if i could run into trouble.
Thanks for helping me out.

Order doesn't matter though, correct?

yes it does matter - last in the sheet is more important due to the cascade (for rules of potentially equal importance)
otherwise you end up with hover effects not working on visited links and all sorts of nasty things!

That's weird, I never thought that the order of the display matters at all. I haven't noticed a difference on my page... Maybe I am missing something here.

you main menu (currently images) would be so easy to do in css, be quicker, accessible and renmove the need for the duplicate links at the bottom. something to bear in mind if you want to look into it before going too much futher
e.g. start with something like
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/horizontal03.htm
and tweak it with your colours and exact layout

bobby if you go to the url in the original page and follow a link then go back and hover over the now visited link it doesn't hover the same as the others, at least not in opera

dave: i changed the order and it worked - thanks
I looked into making teh main nav bar as css but I didn't like the way the text looked so much like HTML, they were'nt as smooth as they are when done as an image. The CSS looked good when it was at a larger font size but i was limited to this size.
I'm still torn and still might make it CSS (great link thankyou!)...Is there a way to make it less pixelated looking when using CSS?
ellipsces: when i put the div class = "footer" before my td tags, fp keeps adding another row in and changing the layout. It seems to work only when i put them right into each TD cell. should i be putting them somewhere else?

text will look as smoth as the font smoothing technique of your operating system so windows it's in the control panel and display properties (somewhere "turn font smoothing") mind that's on win 98, it could be anywhere now. it should be as smooth (anitaliased) as all the other 'real' text when you view it.

What is the other attribute that was missing above. I thought there was another gorila pointed out on here awhile back that everyone was new to- at least some of us were. I don't quite remember it...
