Is this the newsgroup for CSS help? CSS Question Included

Is this the group for CSS questions?

If so here is one. If not where can I post this.

I have a bunch of links through my web pages, like these:

<a class=FootNote href="http://www.bscinc.net">annuity</a>,
<a class=FootNote href="http://www.bscinc.net">variable annuity</a>,
<a class=FootNote href=“http://www.bscinc.net”>tax sheltered
annuity</a>,

Please note that I use the "class=FootNote" to format the links. It
works well.

But it is a pain to keep typing.

Is there a way to do the formatting at a higher level?

For example, I thought I could use something like

<div class=FootNote>

or

<td class=FootNote>

and then show the links like this

<a href="http://www.bscinc.net">annuity</a>,
<a href="http://www.bscinc.net">variable annuity</a>,
<a href=“http://www.bscinc.net”>tax sheltered annuity</a>,

and get the formatting I want.

I tried this, but I can't seem to make it work.

Do I have a problem in my web page code or in my css file?

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Al

It seems like an unordered list to me?
so:
<ul id="footnote">
<li><a ...</a></li>
<li><a ...</a></li>
<li><a ...</a></li>
</ul>

And apply formatting in css to
#footnote{

}
#footnote li{

}
and/or
#footnote a{

}

comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets is a good CSS group BTW.

Thanks for the post. It is not a list.

Here is my css statements to give you an idea:


..FootNote {
FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

A.FootNote:link {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

A.FootNote:visited {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

A.FootNote:hover {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

A.FootNote:active {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

It looks like my problem is in the css file.

How show I modify the above?

Thanks for your help

Nevermind my preceding post.

Based on your remail, I changed my css to read

#FootNote {
FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

#FootNote A:link {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

#FootNote A:visited {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

#FootNote A:hover {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

#FootNote A:active {
FONT-SIZE: 7pt;
COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;
TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;
}

And it works fine now. Thanks for your email reply which lead me to
the answer.

And thanks to everyone who posts here.

Points are for printing. 8 of them is waaay too small to read. Use
percentages. 100 of them.

COLOR: #000000;
FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif, sans-serif;

You do not need to specify family for every class. Specify it once for
the body { } element. Drop the Sans-serif and just use sans-serif.

TEXT-DECORATION: NONE;

How will anyone know it is a link if you remove the underlines?

And it works fine now. Thanks for your email reply which lead me to
the answer.

Fine? For some value of "fine" perhaps. How about you post the URL
where this code is used?

I see your point, no bun intended.

Where can I go, ie what are the urls, to find out more about the
"correct" methods of specifying font size for the Web?

By the way, I have tried several mthods but always had problems when
viewing pages in MS IE or in FireFox. I never could get the size I
wanted using smlaa, medium, large type specifications. That is why I
started using 10pt, 12pt, etc.

Thanks for your post.

Obviously I meant "small" not "smlaa". Sorry for the typo.

Do you have a bun in the oven? <g>

Any of thousands of posts in these newsgroups that discuss the matter
several times per week?

It was right there on my page:

"This column has the text size set at 100% and you will be able to
adjust it to a suitable size. 100% is your default size. CSS: body {
font-size: 100%; }"

If you're not sure what that means, please ask.

Don't use px either...

Thanks for your post.

You're welcome.

Yes it is.

Compact Oxford English Dictionary:

list noun - a number of connected items or names written
consecutively

Yup. But as a lot of people seemingly have some unfounded bizar hatred for
lists, I tend not to push the subject :-).
