Browswers ignoring style sheets!

[jberglund]

Please help!

I'm trying to finsih off my company's website by next week. I'm building it in DW MX on a PC. 2 weeks ago I tested it on both Mac and PC. THe CSS worked great on BOTH!

I tested it again yesterday on the mac.... the browsers there are now ignoring my style sheets completely. It brings up all text with the browser's default fonts only.

I'm new to CSS, so I'm still keeping it all at a basic level. Here's a my testing page for the style sheet: http://wwwtest.uwgb.edu/weidner/library/css-test.htm
(silly, I know... but it helped to set the styles up initially)

I also retested NS 7.0 and found it ALSO is ignoring the style sheets.

Please... I've been searching all over the next for something to help me and am at my wit's end!

Do you have a address where we can see a sample page where the style sheet isn't working? I suspect that the problem isn't the browser but how the stylesheet is linked or something similar.

Please help!

Actually, the one I gave you does just that. But, here's another one: http://wwwtest.uwgb.edu/weidner/seas...ily_Tomlin.htm

I've been figuring it was something I've done in how it's linked. But, I have no clue as to how to fix it.

jberglund,

try replacing

<link href="../../library/wcpa04.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

with

<link href="http://wwwtest.uwgb.edu/weidner/library/wcpa04.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

I think this may solve your problem.

According to the W3C css validator (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-uri.html) CSS2 does not allow class identifiers to start with a number - and all your classes do. Changing them over to start with letters seems to work in Firebird.

[jberglund]

Okay.
Tunnel, I tried your fix, and unfortunately it didn't work. I'll give blufive's a try.

Can I simply rename the classes and have them take effect over the site, or will I have to rename and do a 'find/replace' on the site?

[jberglund]

Hi, Paul, I got you rmessage.

I've checked the link to it, it seems fine. In fact, I even tried the fix that tunnel gave me, to no effect.

Fact is, it works just fine in IE on a PC. But, it doesn't work in NN7 (pc), or IE/NN for Mac.

It's very perplexing. Is there another way I should have the style sheet linked for those browsers?

[jberglund]

Sorry, guys.

None of those suggestions seem to be working. I'll keep plugging away at it. I just have a REALLY bad feeling I'm going to have to rebuild the style sheet and go through every page on the site to re-link them.

GAH!

I now see one cell in the grid, down at the bottom right, showing up with white text on dark blue - the class has been changed to start with a letter - seems to be working for me?

Which browser are you using on the Mac? If it's IE/Mac there are known issues about IE/Mac and stylesheets. Sorry I don't have a URL I can give you but you may want to search the forum archives.

Everything seems to appear correct for me (using IE 5.1.5 on a Mac) ... maybe you figured it out?

[jberglund]

Yes!
Gav made the suggestion of removing the numbers I had in my style names (ie, .00BlackText). Which I had done to help myself organize things.

After renaming those and cleaning the site up, it all working again.
Thanks, ALL, for the input and help. I know I'll be sticking around for more help in CSS. (I'm learning just how much CSS can be used for.
