Re: stylesheet help

Hi,

I'm customising my Ikonboard and want to add a new stylesheet class.

My page consists of some links on a grey background which are to be white.
So I have <a href="" class="menu">...</a>.
Then in the stylesheet I have:^

.menu { font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:
x-small; color: #FFFFFF; }

And this works for all my other pages.

However there is a stylesheet for the Ikonboard which has the following:

a:link, a:visited, a:active { text-decoration:underline; color: #37496D }
#category a:link, #category a:visited,#category a:active {
text-decoration:
none; color : #37496D }

and this seems to take priority, even though I have defined my own a tags
with a class.

I dont want to modify the Ikonboard links, just my own

Any ideas?
Thanks

Depends how the pages are served..
Are there frames?

What is the context - any examples to look at?

Seems like you can control your *own* content up to a point, beyond that you
have little or no control.
:-(

You *may* have to accept that there are some links which are not
customisable by users.. difficult to say without knowing seeing things in
context.
:-(

Not that I can see any reason why it should make any difference, but you
could try:
a.menu: link { color: #FFFFFF; etc}
a.menu:visited {color: #FFFFFF; etc}
a.menu: active {color: #FFFFFF; etc}
;-)

Are *ALL* <a href / class= tags behaving in exactly the same way?
Can you look at the source code of the final page and see how it differs
from what you have created?

Maybe pages are served using MySQL / PHP
Maybe something is broken..
Maybe you should email support @ Ikonboard?
Maybe someone should shoot me..
Maybe someone will..

Hope you get it sorted ;-)
