CSS help, please - anchor colors
Posted by Tante Lina on January 8th, 2006

Howdy y'all,

If there's a way to change anchors' color depending on the element in which
they're displayed, my reference doesn't show it. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
TL

Make it a descendent or child selector in a stylesheet:

<URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#child-selectors>

Please set up your sig seperator properly, that is: dash dash space new
line. If you think it is Outlook Express that is to blame:

Well, yes, but I've not seen any examples using descendant or child elements
containing a colon, not sure the browser would read -

#footer a:hover

- correctly.

Posting here a bit of a short time to start netcopping, aren't we? Last
time I checked it was set up that way.

As long as we're sticklers for detail, your sig should be no more that 4
lines, and you might use your English spell checker ("separator").

It may be OE's doing. I'll remove the sig for you, how's that? I don't
post often enough anymore to make messing with the software worth my time.
Thanks for your response.

Why not test it in a simple page you set up and open in various browsers?

Oh that's nice. Misschien moet ik dan voortaan maar in het Nederlands
reageren op jouw berichten. Dat is immers mijn moerstaal, de taal die ik
wel eenvoudig kan schrijven en min of meer foutloos beheers. Krijg ik dan
ook foutloos in het Nederlands een antwoord van je terug?

Nice thought, cozying up to a warm fire with a laptop and a mug of cocoa.
At the time I asked, I wanted to quickly polish a few layouts before a
committee meeting.

Babelfish tells me you said:

"Perhaps I must then as of now but in Dutch reacting to your bulletins. That
is my moerstaal, the language I can which write, however, simply and more or
less foutloos master. Do I recover thus foutloos in Dutch the answer of
your?"

Unfortunately it can't interpret "foutloos" which seems to be important.
Here, we say "footloose and fancy free" - probably not what you meant. Your
point no doubt is that your spelling in Dutch is infinitely better than
mine. No argument there. :^)

Cheers,
TL

I've been wondering for some time now though; where did you get your
nick from? I read "Tante Lina" as typically Dutch.

Hi Wm,
Thanks.

Something I've been wanting to ask is, am I the only one who has funky print
results from CSS? I never see any mention of it here. But when I print a
page with any CSS in the layout, weird things happen. Black holes appear
where images should be, mysterious lines appear, other things shift around
or disappear.

On this page, everything but the first few lines of content gets pushed off
the page.

(Yes I know I can create a separate stylesheet for printing.)

Thx,
TL

Hi Els,

It's "auntie" in many countries, e.g. France, and my ancestral Germany.

One of the alter egos from my first site was originally "Mother Whit", but
that domain was taken. The original illustration was of mixed race:
http://www.youcanweb.net/CSS/MWHIT.GIF. Being very white and no one's
mother, I decided she would be more authentic as a German auntie.

Cheers,
Lynn

One more mental image shattered and replaced by truth then :-)
Years ago there used to be a humorous television show in Holland,
about an Indonesian woman called 'tante Lien' (by actress Wieteke van
Dort). I always had her image in my mind when seeing your nick:

(yup, she's white too, but her character is Indonesian :-) )
