Re: [WSG] strange css behavior

2007-12-19 Thread Michael Horowitz
Parse error is corrected.  Can't change the html however in typepad so 
if that is the cause of the problem I'm stuck with it.   I can only add 
new css at the bottom of the css page.

Correct the parse error on li a:hover to validate the CSS.
And comment out or delete this
ul class=module-list/ul
to validate the markup.

Then see if it does whatever it is that it is supposed to do.

Best,

what browser are you using for testing?

all the links i've visited are red in Safari

?

you know you need to clear your cache for the links to revert to 
*unvisited* before you can test this behaviour, and you know that the 
order for decalring the link states is crucial too?


perhaps the issue is related to your multiple declaration of link 
state  I assumeyou upgraded to Pro Level so you can properly customise 
the CSS?


why not look at an open source blog solution and some cheap web 
hosting, you're making life difficult for yourself trying to bend 
something to a shape it's not designed for!

RE: [WSG] strange css behavior

2007-12-19 Thread Kepler Gelotte
Hi Michael,

The problem appears to be that Internet Explorer gets confused by the link
being also referenced in the head section with the link tag. I think it
is assuming it has read the contents of the link (which it doesn't because I
traced HTTP requests). A simple test shows that this is the case. Copy the
HTML below into a file and clear your history in IE. When you first open the
page all links are blue. Refreshing the page turns the RSS links red.

It will be a universal issue of a link appearing as visited when it is also
referenced in a link tag in the head section in IE 7. This is not really an
RSS issue (as far as I know).

 up BC in comparison mode).
 
coming in late to the thread...

UltraEdit (mentioned previously) is a great tool, as is Beyond Compare.
I generally use WinMerge (on windows) with great success.  As I'm
not a DW user, I cannot speak to its compatibility (or lack thereof).
