| I know this is a probably a very elementry piece of code, but how do you get a backround image to stretch to fit the screen or a table instead of repeating? |

| If it makes you feel any better, it's a fairly advanced solution. |

Ok so im getting into CSS now and im having trouble. I was doing fine until i tried to define multiple classes of links. Heres my code
Code:
a.navigate:link
{
color: #000066;
font-size: 30px;
}
a.navigate:visited
{
color: #000066;
font-size: 30px;
}
a.navigate:hover
{
color: white;
}
For some reason it isnt being applied to my pages. Any help? |

It would really be helpful to see your page source. :|
...But I'm not having any difficulties here:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
a.navigate:link
{
color: #000066;
font-size: 30px;
}
a.navigate:visited
{
color: #000066;
font-size: 30px;
}
a.navigate:hover
{
color: white;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Visit <a href="http://www.unitedti.org/" class="navigate">United-TI</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>

I can't believe I did that. Instead of quoting your post, I must have begun to edit it instead on accident. Sorry. :(
I did read your code and comments. As you requested, I will not criticize the source; however, if you're using a WYSIWYG editor and not wanting to write out most of it using HTML, then I really can't be of much help because I imagine there will be many problems of this sort. If you decide to learn the language, then here is a quick lesson in semantics:
Sports, Hobbies, etc... It's a list. Use a list element to define them.
[font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]<div id="navigation">
_<ul>
__<li><a href="#">List item</a></li>
__<li><a href="#">List item</a></li>
__<li><a href="#">List item</a></li>
_</ul>
</div>
Then, you can simply write this in the stylesheet:
[font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]div#navigation ul li a:link {
_color: #006;
_font-size: 30px;
}
…
In my opinion, that's quicker and easier than messing around in Dreamweaver.

No problem
Quote: I did read your code and comments. As you requested, I will not criticize the source
I didnt say that, i was just warning you in advance that i used dreamweaver to set up the tables.
Quote: div#navigation ul li a:link {
_color: #006;
_font-size: 30px;
}
Could you please explain this piece of code to me, i understand that the # identifies an ID, but why do you put multiple elements after it, and one before? |

Ok so i now have a better understanding of selectors, but i cant get a piece of code to work.
Heres my stylesheet
Code:
H1{
color:green
}
div#navigate ul li a:link {
color: orange;
font-size: 50px;
}
div#navigate ul li a:visited {
color: yellow;
font-size: 30px;
text-align: center;
}
div#navigate ul li a:hover {
color: white;
font-size: 30px;
text-align: center;
}
and here is my html
Code:
<div id="navigate"><ul>
<td valign="top"><li><a href="sports.htm">Sports</a></li></td>
There is an end to the div and ul later on. The style sheet isnt affecting my link, however when i do this
Code:
<div id="navigate"><ul>
<li><a href="#">test</a></li>
it does. I was under the impresion that if you set up descendant styles in your sheet, that it didnt matter if there were tags such as <td> imbetween elements.
Am I wrong about this? |

Yes, it does matter if there are descendants inbetween! Please, take the
one minute necessary to test for this before waiving your self-sufficiency.
But... why are you using a <td> in a list?
Please learn about the Visual Formatting Model here.
Pretty much, guessworking isn't working quite as well as you had hoped.
Just like all other languages, you have to learn it in order use it properly.
Visit W3Schools if web design is something you're really interested in!
