Hi,
I've just started teaching myself CSS over the last month or so. I've also
recently put up the website for the New York Cactus & Succulent Society,
and I'm completely baffled by something. All the pages have a <div> with
the class "navbuttons", which is, of course a group of navigation buttons,
which I did by making the button image the background image for links
within the navbuttons class. On this one particular page,
http://www.nycss.org/linkstest.html, (which has a different style sheet
than the rest of the site: http://www.nycss.org/styleslinks.css), I also
have links to outside sites which are NOT supposed to have the button image
behind them, yet it keeps showing up. I've been over the code multiple
times; the <div> that holds the outside links is not nested withing
navbuttons, and I can't figure out why IE and Firefox think that the
background-image rule that's specified only for navbuttons applies to all
links no matter what their class. Obviously I'm missing something. I'm
hoping a few fresh sets of eyes will look at the html and css and be able
to spot what I'm doing wrong here. BTW, I also have a similar page using
css and no tables for layout (http://www.nycss.org/links.html), which is
linked to http://www.nycss.org/stylesmain.css - and it initially had the
same problem. But for that page the problem went away, although I haven't
been able to figure out why that is either. Sorry this post is somewhat
convoluted - I'll be happy to clarify if I'm not making sense. I'd be very
grateful for any advice or solutions. Thanks.
