CSS Problem

[pablogosse]

Hi all. Just thought I'd throw this issue I've run into into the echo lounge.

I have a stylesheet which I'm using in an xhtml document, and while I've defined the scrollbar styles in the stylesheet the scrollbars in in a select list I have on the page, which has it's own style applied to it, aren't being formatted. Here are the two styles:

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-family: Arial,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
color: #000000;
background: #ffffff;
scrollbar-face-color: #DEDEDE;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-track-color: #ffffff;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #999999; 
}

.selectlist {
font-family: Arial,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;
font-size: 9pt;
background-color: #DEDEDE;
}

Here's a url with a sample of what's happening:

http://web.unbc.ca/~gossep/gm/sample.php

It's my understanding that the select list should inherit the scrollbar properties of the body, and I seem to remember doing this successfully in the past.

It works fine on the textarea which I have on the sample page.

Am I incorrect or am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance,
Pablo

I think the the path is wrong. look at the html output, it says:

/~gossep/gm/styles/gm.css

but you'd need to give the path relatively to your script:

http://web.unbc.ca/~gossep/gm/sample.php

because repeating ~gossep/gm/ would make the html output look for the file at

/~gossep/gm/~gossep/gm/styles/

which doesn't exist.

No, the path isn't the problem. The stylesheet is being found or else there would be no formatting at all.

By using '/~gossep/.....' to link the stylesheet I'm just using the absolute path instead of the relative path.
