I've about given up on netscape and stylesheets. My links are rarely the right color in netscape when I use stylesheets, but in IE they're fine.

Is there an alternate tag for stylesheets in netscape?

I did a search on google.com and these are the results i got:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=netscape+stylesheet+tags

and on one of the websites i clicked i found something about 'classes' that do work good in netscape.

http://css-tutorial.8m.com/problems.htm

see point "2. Netscape and stylesheets" and then at the end of that point you will see a link to "class" where you can read more.
Maybe that will help.

Love,
Mirna

Are you using the most recent version of Netscape? Which is 7.0

How come I can never find anything when searching google? :P

But I don't know... nothing seems to be solving my link issue. :\ It's really strange because some links will be the right color while others aren't.

and yup, I'm using netscape 7.

Are you using colors like "red" or "sky blue" ? Or are you using #FF0000 ?

yeah, they're actual numbers. :\ Here's the link portion of my code:

A:link {text-decoration:underline; color:FFFFFF; }
A:visited {text-decoration:underline; color:FFFFFF; }
A:hover {text-decoration:none; color:FFFFFF; }

When you're viewing in NS, what color are you links? What about text color? Are they okay?

I've never had a problem with my CSS and Mozilla (a lite vers of NS).

*glares* I wish I didn't have any problems. :P

Everything else is all right, it seems. The links are just the default browser style, blue and underlined and everything. It doesn't make much sense to me.

Haha... okay how about other sites using CSS? Any problems?

hmm.... *checks your site* looks all right to me.

gahh, it's me! I'm a failure! *cries*

okay no, not really. Now I'm just more confused than before.

Could it be the stylesheet code itself? This is what I'm using:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">

should I stick something else in there? haha

How odd! I went to your site using Mozilla, the links are the default blue, etc. But when I copied your CSS (for testing only, heh) and viewed the test page in Mozilla, I'm seeing as it should be.

Perhaps you need the a:active ?

I've never used that, haha. but I put it in and it doesn't seem to be doing anything...

you rock for putting up with this, by the way. haha :)

That's odd... I use NS6 and that code works fine. I use those exact codes myself :confused:.

I've noticed though, that if people put <!-- --> in their stylesheets they won't work, but if you're linking to your stylesheet, I guess that wouldn't be applicable....

I just looked at style.css (for your tagboard, which I saw the blue links), at the top of it you have

<style type="text/css">
<!--

Which shouldn't be there... If that's not the problem, I'm not sure.

::blink:: really? I've been using stylesheets for, like, 3 years and I never knew that.

*goes to change it*

DUDE it worked!! I never knew that. You are amazing. Thank you so much, this rules. :D
