Quick CSS question

[Lace]

Trying to change the font color of a link h2.

I guess the default "a" is taking over with another color.

I have

.sponsors h2 a {
	color:#FFF;
}

Then

<h2 id="sponsors"><strong>
<a href="#" title=" " target="_blank" class="sponsors">BLAH</a>
</strong></h2>

Should it be this?

a:sponsors {
	color:#FFF;
}

I know it's probably right in under my nose but I can't think straight right now.

if you use chrome you can right mouse click on particular element and find out exactly which rule is taking over color with "inspect element"

btw .something in html is class="something"

id="someid" in css marked such as #someid

id > class


edit, a:sponsors is way out of line, simply wrong , it's used to set properties for a:visited, a:link, a:active
you can do a.sponsor:visited for exemple

ya the . is the issue. change it to # it should work

[Lace]

Ahhh. Changed it and it's still not working. Hmmph

[Serge Litehead]

cuz it's
#sponsors a {...}

or #sponsors strong a {..}

[Serge Litehead]

one more tip

NEVER use same id twice or more on the same page, that's what classes intended for

[DigitalTheory]

Try
#sponsors a:hover {
color : #fff;
}

replace hover with link, active, visited, etc.

The way you have that coded you just want (I think):

.sponsors
{
color:#FFF;
}

Hey I can still edit this... damn. Not changing anything, just adding I am not a css expert in any way shape or form. I solve issues like this by throwing in an inline style and moving on.

Fuck it, just changed it to h4 and wrote up a new class that seemed to work.

Do you know if there is a body style set to the links?


you also have 2 styles to that, #sponsors and .sponsors
Removed or rename one of them?

Contact me and i will be happy to fix this issue for you.

Yeah there was a body style for links, hence the reason I was trying to name it another class.

I've got it working now but thank you all.
