ok... what am I doing wrong here....

[tombempty]

Hello All:

I am trying to get the links on my site at http://www.emrcontractor.com/newsite to adhear to the following in my css

.menu, a.menu:link, a:active {
    font-family:ariel, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    color:#ffffff;
    text-decoration:none;
}

.menu, a.menu:link, a:hover {
    font-family:ariel, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    color:#ffffff;
    text-decoration:underline;
}

However, the class menu as stated below does not seem to want to work.

<a class="menu" href="index.php">Home</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a class="menu" href="about.php">About us</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="resources.php">Resources</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="contactus.php">Contact Us</a>

Am I typing this out wrong in my css or my menu?

Thanks for any help or advice with this,

Paul

I'm not certain but try this,
I placed .menu before the a:link, rather than a:link.menu its .menu a:link

.menu, .menu a:link, .menu a:active {
    font-family:ariel, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    color:#ffffff;
    text-decoration:none;
}
 
.menu, .menu a:link, .menu a:hover {
    font-family:ariel, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    color:#ffffff;
    text-decoration:underline;
}

Note: With what you had being - .menu, a:hover
the a:hover will apply to all links not just the menu, you have to declare the .menu before every a: element

Hi, you do realize that when you use commas to seperate rules each rule is seperate. So this

.menu, a.menu:link, a:active {
    font-family:ariel, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    color:#ffffff;
    text-decoration:none;
}

Is this

.menu, a.menu:link, a:active {
    font-family:ariel, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    color:#ffffff;
    text-decoration:none;
}
a.menu:link, a:active {
    font-family:ariel, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    color:#ffffff;
    text-decoration:none;
}
a:active {
    font-family:ariel, verdana, sans-serif;
    font-size:10px;
    color:#ffffff;
    text-decoration:none;
}

I went to your site (are you doing changes btw?) and I don't see the classes on the anchors.

Hi Ryan,

No I did not realize that was the case. Seperate rules.

and no I was not doing changes but I know what you are going to say, I only have classes on the first two menu items

I know, I was just testing to make sure before I did all of them and more.

Thanks for any further help or advice.

Oh I'm sorry that aabove code I gave is wrong. I forgot to delete each section...but you get hte drift.

I was aactually going to say you were messing with it because on refresh I lost some CSS that was previously there (in firebug)

Thanks oh an Happy Birthday man....

Don't do anything stupid now that you are 18... LOL
