Why is a table cell adapting one class over another?

23 New Member

My problem - the first cell of my table is adapting the .nav class rather than .menu class that I am assigning it. How can I fix it?

My code starts out as the following...

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

</style>
</head>
<body>

<table width="780" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" >
<tr>
<td align="center" class="menu">
<a href="01.html"> home </a>
<a href="bio.html" >bio</a>
<a href="resume.ht ml">resume</a>
<a href="thumbnail s.html">thumbna ils</a>
<p></td>
</tr>

my stylesheet...

body {background-color:#454A0D}
a {text-decoration:none ;}
a:link{color:#2 41B02}
a:visited{color :#241B02}
a:hover{color: #FFFBDB;text-decoration:none ;
}
a:active {color:#454A0D}

.menu
a {text-decoration:none ;}
a:link{color:#F FFBDB}
a:visited{color :#FFFBDB}
a:hover{color: #241B02;text-decoration:none ;
}
a:active {color:#FFFBDB}

.caption {
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight:normal;
color:#241B02}

.credit{
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:10px;
font-style:italic;
text-transform:none;
font-weight:normal;
color:#241B02
}

.nav
a {text-decoration:none ;}
a:link{color:#4 54A0D}
a:visited{color :#454A0D}
a:hover{color: #241B02}
a:active {color:#241B02}

Can't tell but remove that stray <p> and see what happens. Otherwise, need a link or the complete code.

This is wrong

[html]
.menu
a {text-decoration:none ;}
a:link{color:#F FFBDB}
a:visited{color :#FFFBDB}
a:hover{color: #241B02;text-decoration:none ;
}
a:active {color:#FFFBDB}
[/html]
it needs to be
[html]
.menu a {
text-decoration:none ;
}
.menu a:link {
color:#FFFBDB;
}
.menu a:visited {
color:#FFFBDB
}
.menu a:hover {
color: #241B02;
text-decoration:none ;
}
a:active {color:#FFFBDB}
[/html]i.e. .menu needs to appear before every style rule to which it is supposed to apply. A similar things needs doing for .nav

Iyou your current style sheet you have

a:link{color:#F FFBDB}

and then later

a:link{color:#4 54A0D}

The second definition for the a:link style overrides the first all itmes of type a:link use the second rule.

So if you have more than one set of rules for links in your stylesheet you need to place the class name in front of each specification?

Thanks for your help.

Problem with background color of table cell

Now in the Link Button's Click event...
