Another css question

**Big Dave** · 11th August 2006, 15:21

When I check

http://www.davidcohen.co.nz/bronz/index.html

In firefox none of the css text works.

It's all good in Safari and explorer - not netscape.

yet

http://www.motomail.co.nz/

works fine.

On the motomail site I have the css styles in the head of each page - on the BRONZ site I'm calling the text up from

http://www.davidcohen.co.nz/bronz/bronz.css

as a seperate file.

Any tips? Is there a better command than:

(tag here) STYLE type="text/css" media="all"> @import url(bronz.css ); /STYLE (end tag here - otherwise it won't display on KB)

maybe?

Could be the speech marks around the Arial, blah blah.

Whats the line: 'body ... text: 480 13px' supposed to be? the 'text' property doesnt look right, well i cant recall seeing it used anywhere anyway.

**skelstar** · 11th August 2006, 15:27

Looks like the 'text' property should be 'font'.

Sorry me again.

I usually call the css file in the header. Look at the source code for www.virtualrugby.net. I would copy and paste the code, but this post would just delete html code anyway.

Hey thanks - I gave it a tidy up - but no joy - maybe I have to stick in the head of each page too.

I'll find a different import command too.

I don't have much luck with the 'import' and just use link. Depends on the DOC TYPE declaration (which you don't seem to have but should) I think...

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>

<title>Blah</title>

<link href="css/css06.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Ignore the escape characters...

You def need to have it in the head of each page.

I tend to set the font-size once, font color once, and font-family once. Do this in the body { }. Only declare variations in each tag where it varies as well. Doesnt make that much difference but it helps when youre looking for a problem like this one.

Thanks - but still no dice - I changed the index page as suggested.
Pooh sticks!

You could try putting the css/style code straight into some style tags (< s t y l e >< / s t y l e >) in the header ie dont link/import the css. Then you can test the css itself and decide wether its a css code problem, or an importing/linking problem. Like I have in my virtualrugby.net page.

Compré. Give it a burl later.

And just to further confuse matters

www.radiusresidential.co.nz all works except for the mouseover effects - text is all as it should be.

**skelstar** · 11th August 2006, 16:32

Might be the path to the css page thats confusing it. Try it with the css in the same directory. Just guessing now

.

Good luck.

looks great in firefox

Just FYI - it crashed Safari. Apple have acknowledged that there is a flaw in the java in safari and have issued a patch that I installed a few days ago.
Still crashed the browser on your page.

Did you get some motivation from www.CSSplay.co.uk?
