However, I need to know, does CSS work well in Firefox or Mozilla browsers? n/a

Just create your stylesheet and test it in Mozilla. If it works in that, it'll work in IE anyway. http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.

It actually saves your tonnes of work in the long run when you decide to change the site colours and that. http://soundcloud.com/normbo - Listen to my music.

IE has a mind of its own with certain attributes, so just check your stylsheets in both browsers. You could use Browsercam - www.browsercam.com - but that's probably overkill (plus it's a limited trial). www.thenatflap.co.uk

Btw, is there any way to do a decent link system with CSS, like for example, having a link change colour when the mouse hovers over it? I can do that in individual HTML files, but can't figure out if its possible in CSS. n/a

It's not just a stylesheet attached via a link attribute, it can also be embedded into the head of HTML files using the <style> tag (view source of this page to see what I mean). You can even attach it to individual elements (e.g. <h1 style="padding:2px"> ). To make links change colour you use the :hover psuedoclass. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_pseudo_classes.asp If you want different links to be various different colours on hover, you'd do something like this: <head> <style type="text/css"> a.bluelink:hover{color: blue} a.redlink:hover{color: red} </style> </head> <body> <a href="#" class="bluelink">This will hover blue</a> <a href="#" class="redlink">This will hover red</a> </body> Edited by the Author. www.thenatflap.co.uk
*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48488	23rd June, 2005 at 12:05:01 - I do understand what CSS is, but what Im wondering is if there's a way to do what you just mentioned without embedding it in the HTML document. n/a
Joshua M. Registered 01/06/2004 Points 1999	23rd June, 2005 at 13:18:55 - Ehm... I don't think that's possible. You should take a look at the CSS tutorials on www.w3schools.com , they're really good. I think Pete already posted a link about that, oh well.
Pete Nattress Cheesy Bits img src/uploads/sccheesegif Registered 23/09/2002 Points 4811	23rd June, 2005 at 14:49:36 - Oh right, my bad. Yep it's very easy. Just put all your CSS code into a file called "style.css" or something. Then in the <head> of your HTML documents, link to it thusly: <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> www.thenatflap.co.uk
*The* Chris Street Administrator Unspeakably Lazy Admin Registered 14/05/2002 Points 48488	23rd June, 2005 at 15:37:33 - I don't think you get what I mean, Pete Is there a way to use a specific external stylesheet which contains the code you mentioned, eg: a.bluelink:hover{color: blue} a.redlink:hover{color: red} - in an external CSS file? I can do most of the stuff, eg text colours, spacings, fonts in an external CSS file, but have yet to figure out how to do link effects like the one mentioned above. Edited by the Author. n/a

Make sure if you use :hover, :visited etc you put them in the right order as stated on that page I linked to. Otherwise go nuts. www.thenatflap.co.uk
