odd problem with CSS

**tinyitn** · Jun 25, 2000, 16:34

i'm using just a small snippet of CSS on my pages, but for some reason the code i use on my index page (which works fine) does not work at all on other pages although the code is identical. the code i'm using is:

<style type="text/css">

</style>

anyone with any ideas why this is happening? thanks all.

That's very odd...are you sure it's in the same place as well? Do your other pages use code that might over-ride it?

I'd try just linking to an external css file and see what happens...might clear up this odd problem.

i have a short tutorial that says that linking to anxternal file is possible, but doesn't tell me how. anyone feel like spelling that out for me?
much appreciated, and thanks commish.

put this line within your <head> section:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="yourfile.css">

thanks cow, will do.

now that i've linked to the css file, the main page still works fine, but on subsequent pages the link colour is affected, but the underline is still there even though i specefied no decoration. could it have anything to do with the fact that the links are named anchors on the same page, or should that make no difference? thanks again all.

Can you put up a link to the site?

tinyitn-

I believe that the # is required for hex color declarations, so #333333 vice 333333 would be proper.

Hard to say why it works on one page and not the others without seeing the site.

the page address that works is: http://tinytin.com/test.htm
(no decoration, and colour correct).
the page which is improper is: http://tinytin.com/ttdi/geninfo.htm
(colour correct, but links underlined).
for those that are helping, thanks much, but don't try to navigate, the pages are still being redesigned and therefore links are down.

Here's the code you have now on each page:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code

/font><HR><pre>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
[/code]

Try changing it to this:

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code

/font><HR><pre>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
[/code]

That ought to do it...let me know if it works.

commish, you are, (in the parlance of the generation after me), "da bomb". your additional coding worked exactly as i wanted. could you possibly explain why though? in any case, thank you supremely for the help. yet another example of why SitePoint rules!
