Hello everyone,

I'm having some CSS problems again.  I can get DreamWeaver cs3 to show me exactly what I want, but when I upload the page IE7 and Safarri both display the text in the wrong color.

Maybe this is a CSS and standards problem, if so, maybe someone could suggest another idea.

The body of my site needs to display a title in Navy Blue and the rest of the text in gray or black.

=============================================

content code/body of the website:

a blue title for the page

this is normal text , I would hope

CSS

/* content */
.content {
 float: left;
 margin: 10px 0;
 padding: 0 16px;
 width: 531px;
 color: #000000
}

.content strong {
 color: 000066;
}

.content b {
 color: 000066;
}

Is this what you want to happen?
Go to http://www.netmagikpros.com/learning/cshegg/cshegg.htm

If this is basically what you want, I will send the style sheet to you.

Hello Marc (MagikMarc),

That is exactly what I needed, I grabbed the CSS file from your server (default.css), so you don't have to go to any trouble sending it to me.

Thank you for looking at it and for creating a full example on your website.

I won't have time to look at it until tomorrow, but I can't wait to see what hair brained thing I was doing wrong this time.

Thank you again!!

Phil,
I changed some of the code on the page too, so you may want to grab that as well.

Don't beat yourself up too much over it, that's why this section of the forum exists! (but just to rub it in, I did it all with Dreamwaver  )

Hi Marc,

OK, thanks again. 

I looked at your CSS changes, I understand what you did.

I now know I had a fundamental misunderstanding of the CSS hierarchy.

For those reading this thread.  I was trying to edit the CSS for a tag, but what Marc did was create a new class in the CSS called

I'm just glad I could help.
