[RESOLVED] CSS issue (i think)

Prine

Hi guys, having trouble trying to sort out my website. Wondering if you guys could let me know where im going wrong. Its pretty simple (but not for me!)

if you go to http://www.boxbagz.com/beleh/home.php

and click on the collections page you'll notice the navigation menu change color. Now there seems to be somthing overriding the CSS style i created. This only happens on the "collections page" and "contact us" page.

Now im going through the code and i cant seem to figure it out. Pissing me off as i know its probably something really minor.

Suggestions?

Cheers!

Start by correcting your mark-up errors; for example: Home page and Contact Page.

Then when the HTML is solid, run them through the CSS validator.

ok i think i found the problem. Its the DOCTYPE. im using the following

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

if i remove this from the code it seems to work. But when i include the DOCTYPE i get some errors. I've changed the homepage ( http://www.boxbagz.com/beleh/home.php) DOCTYPE to the one above, now the background colour for one of my tables is not working.

Anyone know how i can get around this?

edit: Works in IE but not Mozilla (top right of table missing bg color)

Nice site too!! Congrats!

i think you are missing # in front of the colour code for bgcolor in line:

it should be: bgcolor="#F3DFBE"

try that and see if it works.

So, did that resolve all of your issues? If so, don't forget to mark this thread resolved.

I've also moved this thread to the ClientSide Technologies forum since it appears that your problems were HTML-/CSS-related.

When stating the DOC type I need to remember that browsers follow scrict guidelines when building pages! Bad news for lazy people (like me!)

I have one more query, the loop below has trouble outputting the values i want!

here it is

while (list($type, $loc) = each($menu))
	{	
		{
			if (eregi('luid', $type)) 
				{
   					$bg == "fluid";

			}	
		else if(eregi('signiture', $type))
		{
			$bg == "signiture";
		}	

	}

	echo "<tr> \n "; 
	echo "<td width=\"4%\">&nbsp;</td> \n";
	echo "<td width=\"96%\" background=\"images/right_main_".$bg."_bg.jpg\">";
	$this->BuildHomeMenu($type, $loc); //uses the function I created by inheriting value(s) from var defined at top of page ($menu).
	echo "</td> \n";
    echo "</tr> \n";
}

The $bg variable fails to inherit the values i need 🙁

That's because you're using the wrong operator. "==" is used when comparing (see this man page: [man]operators.comparison[/man]. The operator you want is '=' (see this man page: [man]operators.assignment[/man]).

Thjanks BRAD, got working perfectly.

RESOLVED!!

That's because when you specify a doctype, you're making a promise to the browser that you're going to stick to the rules of that document type.
