Div expanding to fill whole screen

#11 09-02-2008, 04:34 PM

Selecting one of those links and looking at DW's CSS panel tells me that
it's being styled by the rule for a:link. If you want them to be the same
color as the h2 rule, then you'd need to change the selector for that rule
to a group selector, e.g.,

h2, h2 a {
color:#6D3424;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Sans-serif;
font-weight:700; /* there is no difference between this and bold, you
know? */
text-decoration:none;
}

Murray
apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

I have changed the CSS file as to your suggestion as I do want the links on
the FAQ page to be the same color as the h2 tag, but it doesn't work? Am I
missing something?

I have managed to get it working by applying a h2 rule that applies to h2 with links only in my #content section.
can you see any potential problems in this?

Nope.

I'm not sure where it's gone wrong; it the #content h2 a:link should be
color:#A03A2A; text-align:left; font-size:95%; but its not anymore.

I think there must be some kind of inheritance going on somewhere; if I want a
h2 a:hover with a white color, should I put it as a separate rule?

#16 09-05-2008, 05:07 PM

Do you know how to use DW's CSS panel to investigate inheritance issues like
that?

Hi Murray
never used it, wasn't aware that it could do it?

#18 09-06-2008, 08:00 AM

Select the element. Look at the CSS panel. Click on the Current button,
and you'll see a summary of all the styles that are expressed by that
element. Click on the cascade icon (the stairstep without the red mark) and
you will see all the rules that are cascading into that element, by
selector, and specificity. Find the one closest to the bottom that is
forcing the wrong styles, and adjust your selector so that it has a higher
specificity.

Hi Murray
Di you mean select the element in the page or the CSS? I have tried both and
clicked on the stairstep, seen all the styles associated with that element. The
only reference to text alignment says 'left' which it should be; but it's
showing centered. I cannot see where any other style element is being inherited?

Select the element by clicking on it in Design view or on the tag selector
on the bottom of the document pane.

Or post a link to the page.
