Hello everyone,
I think this is my first post, which is sort of embarrassing. I can't
find a css error, deadlines are looming, and I'm just not seeing the
problem.
In brief - I'm instituting a "you are here" in the navigation. The
site's default navigation style (in an external style sheet) is
over-ridden by a style for the link to this page (in an internal style
block). Except it's not. So I did something wrong and I'm just not
seeing it. Internal style blocks over-ride external style sheets, right?
Here is the relevant bit from the external style sheet:
#every_page li a {
display: block;
height: 1em;
padding: .6em;
font-size: small;
text-decoration: none;
color: #999;
background-color: #4F1111;
}
#every_page li a:hover {
background-color: #999;
color: #000;
}
This works just fine.
So in the internal style sheet, I do this:
<style type="text/css">
#index, index:hover { color: #4F1111; background: #003173; cursor: default;}
</style>
The relevant xhtml:
<li><a id="index" href="index.shtml" title="Go Home">Home</a></li>
I get the cursor change, but not the color change.
When I load the page, the link style for the link to this page is the
same as the others, except that the cursor is changed from a link
pointer to the default pointer. So I know the style is being applied,
it's just not over-riding the style from the external style sheet.
Do I have precedence wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.
