Gah Valid CSS XHTML, Works in IE not in firefox

f001error · #1 24-Jan-2005, 04:06

G'day

This problem has been driving me insane. I've validated my css & XHTML (1.0 Transitional) and it all checks out okay. Firefox is rendering in standards compliant mode, so it should just work, right ?

All I am trying to do is apply a style to a link who has a particular class. IE:

This Link:

HTML Code:


<a class="button" href="http://www.yahoo.com/">Yahoo</a>

Should have this style:

CSS Code:

a.button:link {
background-color: #00a7e9;
color: #000000; }

Any ideas ?

what exactly is the problem?
Off hand I would suggest maybe adding some more style elements as so:

CSS Code:

a.button:link {
background-color: #00a7e9;
color: #000000; }

a.button:visited {
background-color: #00a7e9;
color: #000000; }

maybe firefox picks the link up as visited?

Yep thats it

It works lovely now

Sorry about not being clear enough, t'was late and i had been battling with it for hours

. The problem was the style wasn't being applied.

Can't beleive it was something so silly

Thank you !
