[css-d] apply float:left and links stop working

2009-12-02 Thread Scott Brasted
Greetings,

http://www.stpeterswestfield.org/index.php
http://www.stpeterswestfield.org/css/st_peters.css
Both the page and the css validate.

Bottom of the page, two clear (white background) div boxes side by side 
on the left side of page (one title says TO OUR VISITORS and the other 
Title is HOMEBOUND OR JUST ...). Float works fine except that when divs 
are floated, the links in the right hand of the two boxes do not work. 
Unfloat and voila', they work like a charm. Here is css for the 2 
classes directly affecting the divs.

div.box_clear_float_left {
float: left;
line-height: 1.2em;
font-style: italic;
color: #00;
border-color: #00;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
margin: 0px 3px 20px 0px;
font-family: Californian FB, Times New Roman, serif;
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: normal;
width: 256px;
}

.sbar_link a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: #4b0082;
font-weight: bold;
}

.sbar_link a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
color: #800080;
font-weight: bold;
}

.sbar_link a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #4b0082;
border-bottom: none;
font-size: 12pt;
}

Here is the html for the div boxes:
div class=box_clear_float_left
div class=sbar_link
h3TO OUR VISITORS/h3
pWe welcome you to our worship and to our 
parish life. Please 
know that whoever you are and wherever you find yourself on your journey 
in faith there is a place for you here at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church./p

pAll baptized persons are invited to receive the 
sacrament of Holy 
Communion. If you prefer not to receive communion, we invite you to come 
to the altar rail, cross your arms on your chest and receive the 
blessing of God. If you are unfamiliar with the Episcopal worship 
service, ask someone for help, or merely relax and enjoy the beauty and 
power of the service by observing what goes on. Come again . . . soon 
and often./p

pPlease join us in Bailey Hall immediately following 
the service 
for food, fellowship and fun./p
/div !--end link--
/div !-- end box/float --

div class=box_clear_float_left

pIf you were not able to join us this Sunday for 
Church, you can 
watch the service on Time Warner Cable - Westfield Channel 21 on 
Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. (thank you Tom). You can a

schedule a clergy visit and bring communion if you desire./p
/div !--end link--

Anyone know why this might be the case?

I'm not certain, but try this. Your HTML code refers to div 
class=box_clear_float_left. In your CSS you named the class 
div.box_clear_float_left {}. Remove the div from the CSS code so 
that it reads,

.box_clear_float_left {
float: left;
line-height: 1.2em;
font-style: italic;
color: #00;
border-color: #00;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
margin: 0px 3px 20px 0px;
font-family: Californian FB, Times New Roman, serif;
font-size: 12pt;
font-weight: normal;
width: 256px;
}

Re: [css-d] apply float:left and links stop working

2009-12-02 Thread Mauricio (Maujor) Samy Silva
Add:

div.footer {
  clear:both;
...
}

This will push the footer underneath the two floated divs.
Actually the footer is underneath div.box_clear masking the two divs bellow
and making the links unclicable.

My thanks to Maurico, Bill, Theresa and Fizz. The clear:both worked a 
charm. Your ideas forced to look at some css I haven't looked at in a 
while. Found some mistakes and streamlined some. Thanks for the help. 
All works fine now.

Best,
