Category Link Color change?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Ok its a little late but I've been at this too long to give up.
Why is it that on the left Nav bar I can control font color via .css for the Store Links [ ex. via "pcLeftStoreLinks"], but when I try to adjust the category font color via pcLeftCatLinks it doesn't do a thing?  I'm trying to get that darn default Cateogy Blue to change over to Black.
Should I be modifying "pcLeft" instead?

	Hi Andrew, Can you give us a URL to look at?

	FYI - I find Firefox with the Web Developer add-on is great for investigating issues such as this..

	Sure, we're not live yet but hoping to get there this week. Just trying to change the font color of the Categories. Also, someone just pointed out to me a real odd thing, but on his Apple iMac the header is centered and the body is left justified, but on my IBM its fine. Any ideas on where I might correct this? http://powerlinesports-com.greybeardhosting.com

	Hi Andrew, Well, if I understand your original request then you need to find the line : #pcLeftCatLinks a:link, #pcLeftCatLinks a:visited & make your changes there. The links have separate style settings - more flexibility I guess. Edited by Hamish - 14-April-2008 at 3:14pm

	It's not immediately obvious to me what the cause opf the alignment issue is. There do seem to be quite a few empty DIV's on the page. I'll keep looking for a while longer. In F'fox the header section is centred, but the body is aligned to the left. In i.e. the two are both centred.

	Oh wow....so the issue with the alignment is both MAC and Firefox? Thank you so much for looking....what file are you looking at? I can go in there and scout around a bit as well. Would header.asp be the file or maybe something else? I'll check out a:link. I never thought to take a peek in there, but it makes sense. Standard link, then hover, then visited. Back to the alignment......maybe I'll need to put a bounty fee on this to figure out what I need to modify to get the alignment right across all browsers....

	Hi, I can't see the individual files that make up the page (apart from the CSS). I just did a "view source". I also note that, as well as quite a few empty "div's" you have 2 BODY tags, try removing the second one. The second one is : <table id="pcMainArea"> <body bgcolor=#FFFFFF> Also some of the lines in your CSS files START with a ";" instead of ending with one.

	Hi Andrew, The alignment is now resolved - Both IE & FF align both sections to the centre. What did you do to resolve this?
