Style Sheet misery - 6/21/2004 22:39:56
I'm new to style sheets. I'm using a template that uses style sheets. My problem is that I'm trying to change the properties of a menu as far as link colors go. I choose four different colors for different links (Link, Active, Visited, Hover). The colors I choose are correct but they don't correspond with the correct instances. Also, when a link is visited it changes to the (wrong) color but changes back to the unvisited color as soon as I go to a different link. By the way, what is an 'Active" link anyway? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave, welcome to outfront.
One thing I'm going to suggest to you right now is to check the order of your links.
Just remember lvha for your order. (link, visited, hover, active) If they aren't in the correct order, the cascading of styles can interfere with how they work
Here is a link for you to check out. It has a brief description on it for you to read. I also suggest that you check out the links section at the top of the css section. I'm sure that you will find a good bit of information to get you started with css. And of course, come here and make sure you post your questions!

Well, the order was wrong so I changed that. It still acts funny though. For instance, I'll click link A and when I come back to it, it will still be the same color but when I click link B or C, then link A will change... It's very weird.
Also, what exactly is an Active link?
Thanks for the help, people!
Dave

text-decoration: none
}
A:hover {
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: none
}
A:active {
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: none
}
TD {
font-size: 12px;
font-family : Verdana;
}
P {
font-size: 12px;
font-family : Verdana;
}
TD.smaller {
font-size: 11px;
font-family : Verdana;
color : #000000;
}
P.smaller {

Just took a quick look, make sure all your values have semi colons after them, If you don't it sometimes will interfere with your other styles.
at this point, I dont see anything else. Do you have a link to post with the site? It could be something in you xhtml/html code.

Here's a link:

Could it be as a result of messing with page properties or table or cell properties? I did a little of that before I figured out the CSS stuff but I went back and made sure all pages were set to CSS...

Hi dave, what he is telling you to do is to go into your html code look for the part that he is showing you and remove the links code that is in there. This could be what is causing your problem.
HERE is a link for you explaining what a dtd is. If you have any questions aftewards just come here or to one of the begining web areas and someone will help you out with it.
