Need help with CSS

[drmike]

I really suck with CSS.

Please kindly take a look at this page:

http://cynix.uni.cc/2008/01/08/new-feature-sidebar-widgets/

CSS here:

http://cynix.uni.cc/wp-content/themes/home/style.css

The "support forums" bit in the content should have the broken underline but it's not showing up in ie6 or netscape 7.2.  Cleared the cache and all that.  Tried different divs and putting it with the p tag.

Any suggestions?

Not showing for me either. in Firebug, it's inheriting the main link style, which have no dotted underline.

Gimmie a sec to play.

Edit: It's not picking up this bit

#story a:link, #story a:visited {
text-decoration:none;
border-bottom:1px dotted $fff;
}

So to me that sems a syntax error? I'd just make it #story a{ and see if it picks up then.

Modified (I think I tried that as well) with no change.

Thanks for looking.

[Andrea_R]

Weird.

[Luke]

#story a:link, #story a:visited {
text-decoration:none;
border-bottom:1px dotted $fff;
}

$fff

There's the problem.

# is for colors, $ is for variables (and not in css).

Oh, and you can use just #story a, without the :link bit as well.

[Andrea_R]

DOH. Never even saw the dollar sign. *head smack*

// I had a smart ass reply to ya, but I'm refraining. lol

[drmike]

*shrug* When I did design, there was no such thing as CSS.

edit: Still no dice though.

div id="story" -> #story in CSS

div class="story" -> .story in CSS

[Luke]

#story a:link, #story a:visited {
text-decoration:none;
border-bottom:1px dotted $fff;
}

To elaborate on what Ron said...

You're naming an id in your css, but calling it as a class.

So the above should be:

Code:

.story a {
text-decoration: none;
border-bottom: 1px dotted #FFFFFF;
}

Just targeting the a tag, means in any instance. While you can break it out into :link, :hover, and :visited, since the color properties are already set in a parent, it isn't really necessary.

With css, the less you have to target, usually the better.

I could have sworn that I had tried it with the period but maybe I didn't.  It appears to work now though.

Thanks,
