CSS and Internet Explorer

[gadgit7 +]

Hi

I have created a new style type in the css called 'headline'.

In firefox it works just fine and does all the things it is meant to (ie, align,color etc...)

When i open the same page in IE8 it doesn't show up..it just uses the standard text formatting.

Any ideas why this is or how to make explorer use that css?

Thanks

Why don't you post the html source around the object and the css you are using. It would save time.

So going to your site.. You have not made the correct css for a start. It should be this

#headlines
{
text-align:center;
color:#B07F00;
font-size:22px;
font-weight:bold;
}

Then why are you not using this with a div. You have some weird <center><headlines>bla bla</headlines></center>


should simply be

<div id="headlines">blabla</div>


By the way, you are mixing html with xhtml. It is not <br> for example but <br />. It is not a major issue but never a good idea to put html into an xhtml source. It is probably worth doing a bit of reading about css and xhtml to get yourself up to speed.

Thanks mate

I know I have a lot to learn...I knew nothing at all about code 12 months ago and now I only know 'almost nothing' so i'm getting better. My new job and learning curve are very steep...

Cheers

LOL - "almost nothing" . It is actually worse if you know less than you did 12 months ago. Sometimes it is worth sitting back and reading about a subject and then going to the computer to try things out as opposed to just trying things.
