CSS and Server Side Includes

[johnacb]

I have designed HTKML web Page with a Style sheet attached to use as a navigation page. Running DMX on WinXP

It uses A:link, A: Hover and A:Visit for the navigation menu

I embed the new HTML file into a new page using SSI.

I then setup a Class with new A: links.Link Hover etc and apply these to the links on the new page. To give a different look than the Nav page

The problem is that the Include file CSS overides the all new A: links I have set up on the new page.

Is there any way around this??

I have tried various ways around this but no joy and has become very frustrating

Thanks

basically the later a style is defined on the page it will define the style in use,
ie:
inline styles
<span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;>
will override on page styles

<style type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
.class {font-size: 12pt;}
</style>
which will override external style sheets

<LINK rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; href=&quot;external.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot;>

.class {
font-size: 12pt;
}

there is also a correct order for the <a> pseudo classes
a.class:link { }
a.class:visited { }
a.class:active { }
a.class:hover { }

in your case the included file and style sheet will become the overriding factor.

Thanks Chris

Will check out my syntax. Maybe that is problem

I had already put the class in after the Include file, but it the Included file still displayed its Style Sheet values.

But I did not use the span, can you use the a:link etc in the Span OK

Thanks again

I just used the <span> as a example.
<a style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;&quot;> etc works as well
