Can anyone explain why you would want to target all non-IE browsers and then all IE browsers? Surely you just use a normal stylesheet fed to all browsers and then add IE conditional comments to sort out issues with the IE versions? If you need to put in fixes for all browsers, then surely the or

Checkbox is not an element, so you can not use "checkbox". Depending on the browsers you are targetting you could try input[type=checkbox] { margin-right: 40px; padding-right: 40px; } -Original Message- checkbox {margin-right:40px; padding-right:40px;} It didn't work. _

[css-d] Anchor color on an image with border="1"

I noticed that Firefox colorizes the border with the anchor color I specified, and a:hover turns that color also, but in IE7 I get default blue border.

I've been reluctant to ask these questions, not because of any lack of faith in the wonderful people on this list, but because I can't give you the opportunity to see the page for yourself, and I don't think it's entirely fair to ask you to fix something you can't see. But, this has reached a p

Thanks Jack, this works in both FF & IE: a:link img, a:visited img { border:1px solid red; } a:hover img, a:active img { border:1px solid pink; } I always look for one rule that works everywhere before putting conditional rules in ie.css. On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 9:10 AM, Jack Timmons <

The culprit might be the fact you have a closing brace instead of paranthesis. Try: background: url("graphics/ButtonBackground.png") no-repeat top left; Instead. Also, there might be more to it (the CSS coding isn't my style, so I feel shaky about it), but the Chinese food in front of my face di

Ed, You aren't using a specific enough selector to target the ul in the content. Try this: #template-center ul li a:hover { background-image:none; display:inline; text-decoration:underline; } This will remove the styling that you have applied in the nav menu. Also,
