I know I've been in here before ranting on Styles Sheets, but, I have to let
off some steam. I've already scared all the animals into hiding and worried
my neighbor that someone was killing me, so I can't scream anymore.
But why, oh why, can't browsers get along??????
I have two sets of styles for particular links in my document.
One's a menu.
The other is for regular links.
My menu is on a dark background, so I need to specify a different color for
the links.
First it wasn't pull the custom class, it would go right to whatever style
was listed last, then it wasn't listening to the size, then it wasn't doing
anything at all....etc, etc, etc.
AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!
Let me save someone some development hell who doesn't already know how to
solve this problem........ (oh, and before you ask, I'm using IE 5.5 and
Netscape 4.7, so what this does on NN6, I have no idea, not do I care
today.)
This is what IE wants...
A.menu:link {color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:transparent;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight : bold;
font-family : Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size : 10px;
}
This is what Netscape wants....
A:menu:link {color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:transparent;
text-decoration:none;
font-weight : bold;
font-family : Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;
font-size : x-small;
}
Notice the subtle differences? Yeah, well, it took me about 2 hours of
poking and prodding for me to come up with a combination that worked. I feel
like I'm playing Browser Roulette!

OK, I feel better now.
