Hey,
Take a look at my header links.
See how you can barely see the link text? I want to change that.
The problem is that no matter what change I make (notice the divider dots are red now) the <a> tag always comes up as the same color.
Here the standard ccs text code.
Code: A:link {color:#9DA6BB;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A:active {color:#9DA6BB;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A:visited {color:#9DA6BB;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A:hover {color:#f5f5f5;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:underline}
.title {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #DFDFDF; FONT-SIZE: 14px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
.content {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #C8C8C8; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica}
.block-title {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #FF0000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica}
.storytitle {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #FF0000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
.storycat {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #DFDFDF; FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: underline}
.boxtitle {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #C8C8C8; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
.boxcontent {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #C8C8C8; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica}
.option {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #C8C8C8; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
.tiny {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #C8C8C8; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
.small {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #C8C8C8; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica; TEXT-DECORATION: none}
.storycontent {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #C8C8C8; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica}
.headcontent {BACKGROUND: none; COLOR: #000000; FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica}
I tried to mimic the copyright and added the folowing code (the copyright code is included).
Code: /* Header Links info */
.headlinks { color: #000000; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px }
a.headlinks { color: #FF0000; text-decoration: none }
a.headlinks:hover { color: #2D3546; text-decoration: underline }
/* Copyright and bottom info */
.copyright { color: #9DA6BB; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px }
a.copyright { color: #9DA6BB; text-decoration: none }
a.copyright:hover { color: #c0c0c0; text-decoration: underline }
That doesn't work. It changes all my text... but not the links or the hover.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Would you please zip the theme you are using and send it to me? Thanks!

You want the theme.php file, the css file... or the whole thing?
The theme is just the Boyz theme from Nukecops... I'd bet you have it. I've only made a few small changes to the overall theme.
Thanks.

If memory serves me right, the A: css tags can only be overwritten using span tags with the style attribute.

aaahhhhhh,
So...
Quote: /* Header Links info */
.headlinks { color: #000000; font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -1px }
a.headlinks { color: #FF0000; text-decoration: none }
a.headlinks:hover { color: #2D3546; text-decoration: underline }
may work but I need to use a <span> tag... I hadn't tried that.
I'll get back to you.
PEACE!

Hey,
Man I was excited... I've been messing with this for a week.
This doesn't work...
<span class=\"headlinks\">TEXT HERE</span>
Some as before, changes the text color... but links and hover remain the same as the original css.

I know I've done this. Try it with a div tag.

Just reread this. That's not what I said. I said the span tag with the STYLE attribute, not the class attribute. Try actually placing the css code in the style tag like Code: <span style="a.headlinks.color:#FF0000; text-decoration: none;">

Nope.
Like this...
<span style="a.headlinks.color:#FF0000; text-decoration: none;">
the quote stops the code. (everthing past it is commented out)
So I tried this...
<span style=\"a.headlinks.color:#FF0000; text-decoration: none;\">
That didn't screw anything up... but it didn't do anything either.
I'm not superskilled in this area.
PEACE!

I knew I had done this . Here is the raw html/css. I'll let you convert it to php Code: <style>
A:link {color:#9DA6BB;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A:visited {color:#9DA6BB;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A:hover {color:#f5f5f5;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:underline}
A:active {color:#9DA6BB;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A.red:hover {color:#FF0000;}
</style>
<a href="yahoo.com" class=red>Yahoo</a>
BTW, the reason the other code 'stopped' is that I gave you the raw html code. When echoing the code you sometimes have to ad the \, depending on your quoting preferences.

Hey Raven,
That did it.
Thanks for all your help.
For others reading this...
I added my "headlinks" (can be anything) command to the css like this.
Code: A.headlinks:link {color:#000000;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A.headlinks:active {color:#ff0000;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A.headlinks:visited {color:000000;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:none}
A.headlinks:hover {color:#ff0000;FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Helvetica;text-decoration:underline}
You then call the text style in the theme.php link like this.
Code: <a href=\"downloads.html\" class=\"headlinks\">Downloads</a>
Looks great, thanks again.
PEACE!
Dan
