Yeah, shame i'm lame at it! I'm not a born coder i'm afraid.

I will endeavour to improve though, i might do a course or something.

Should of though of using the W3C Validator, duh!

Cheers

hey rob theres actually a css tidy tool that checks for your CSS or go to the CSS validation service and it will validate your CSS file and will show you some errors you missed... Good to know youre keen on learning CSS...

I could kiss you.

Um... You have this:

h4 {font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #413833}; text-decoration: none;}

This happens several times in your code, try changing it to this:

h4 {font-family: arial; font-size: 9pt; color: #413833; text-decoration: none;}

Sorry to annoy you again but i'm having more troubles...

Both Firefox and Opera are ignoring my P class styles, making the links the default blue. If Internet Explorer is so bad then why does it display everything as i intended?

Here is a link:

And the stylesheet again:

Thanks in advance.

Well done guys! Works now

It's because all of the other links are pointing to the current page and therefore showing up as visited links which has the text-decoration:none applied. The link definition does not have the text-decoration applied specifically - it's applied to the H2 tag which gets overriden by the default settings for the a tag.

I agree that it would be best to create a class for this rather than relying on the H2 tag.

check the code...

Hi.

I just looked at your css-file.
You might want to check line nr. 11:
h2 a:hover {color: #413833; text-decoration: underline}
This is probably why you get the links underlined...

robfenn — Thu, 20 Oct 2005 12:28:16 +0000

Julia,

If you look at the style sheet link, hover and active are both defined as "text-decoration: none" Which should mean they are not underlined.

I know it shouldn't be called H2, lazyness on my part, but does that actually make a difference?

Thanks,

-Rob

H1 & H2 are headings and should be that, not links. Style your links (a, a:hover, a:active) to act as you want them or create a class for styling the navigation separately from other links on the page.
