If I were to use just HTML tags: <body style= vlink="#e4e4e4" alink="#e4e4e4" link="#e4e4e4" bgcolor="#2a6fb0"> <font style="COLOR: #e4e4e4" face="Comic Sans MS" size="4"> Everything looks fine when browsing, IE, Firefox, and Safari. When I try my very simple style sheet: ------------------------------------------------------------------- body {background-color:#2a6fb0} a:link {color:"#e4e4e4"} a:visited {color:"#e4e4e4"} a:hover {color:"#123321"} a:active {color:"745438"} h1 {color:"#e4e4e4";font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:30pt} h2 {color:"#e4e4e4";font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:18pt} h3 {color:"#e4e4e4";font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:12pt} h4 {color:"#e4e4e4";font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:10pt} h5 {color:"#e4e4e4";font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:8pt} ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and using: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="thinn.css"> Where thinn.css is the style sheet I am using. Firefox seems to read only the <h1>-<h4> font and not the color It also sees the body background color. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is the HTML code: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="thinn.css"> <title>Some Bed and Breakfast</title> </head> <body> <center><h1>Welcome to ACME B&B</center></h1> <center><h3>123 Main St, somewhere, some state. <a href="mailto:test@example.com?subject=Question for the Inn Keeper">Email the Innkeeper</a><center></h3> <center> <h4> <a href=/"index.html"> Home</a> <a href=/"grooms.html"> Guest Rooms</a> <a href=/"events.html"> Calendar of Events</a> <a href=/'rrates.html"> Room Rates</a> <a href=/"packages.html" >Guest Packages</a> <a href=/"weather.html"> Local Weather</a> <a href=/"map.html"> Directions and Map</a> <a href=/"pictures.html"> Pictures</a> <a href=/"contact.htm"> Reservations</a> </center> </h4> </body> </html> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am attempting to redo all of the pages for this site using CSS. What I would like to see is the CSS code that would work for all browsers or at least the top 3. Thank you for your help. |

Hello cw20034-ga, Thank-you for your question. The problem lies within your CSS; you do not need to place the colour within quotes as you have done in your example. You can simply choose the colour as you have done so with font-family and font-size in your CSS file. When you apply these rules it makes your css file this: body {background-color:#2a6fb0} a:link {color:#e4e4e4} a:visited {color:#e4e4e4} a:hover {color:#123321} a:active {color:745438} h1 {color:#e4e4e4;font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:30pt} h2 {color:#e4e4e4;font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:18pt} h3 {color:#e4e4e4;font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:12pt} h4 {color:#e4e4e4;font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:10pt} h5 {color:#e4e4e4;font-family:comic sans ms; font-size:8pt} The correct colour should now be displayed. There is also be a small error in your HTML file. In your anchor/link tags you have an extra \ character which is superfluous to your needs (and may actually cause you extra problems). Hopefully this was just a small error when you cut and pasted the HTML file into Google Answers! For instance, you have <a href=/"grooms.html"> when it should be <a href="grooms.html">. (No extra \ character.) If you require any further assistance on this subject please do not hesitate to ask for clarification. |

Hi there, simply take off the double quotes from around all your hex values in the stylesheet, like a:link {color:#e4e4e4} not a:link {color:"#e4e4e4"} |
