Hi @alexio,

A couple things:

1. Firebug 'cleans up' the CSS code you see unless you go into Edit, which is why you see *:hover instead of just :hover for example.

2. I noticed in the code you pasted that the rule #access ul ul a starts with a background:none. Did you just add that in? You should know that since this occurs before the other background: rules you have, it will be overridden. Try placing it underneath the others and/or commenting the others out.

3. Firebug is crossing out the rule because it is being overridden by either a rule later in the CSS or by more specific rules.

4. You have conflicting CSS code in both the members-style1-style.css and in the HTML file itself. I would merge all of the CSS code in the HTML into your style.css and/or members-style1-style.css depending on which one is more appropriate. It become a real pain (like now) to both remember and figure out rule precedence when it's set up like this.

5. Once you have #4 squared away, then based on what I'm seeing in the members-style1-style.css file, it should work.

6. No offense if you've written this, but this CSS code is kinda messy and confusing. If you think you'll have to mess with it in future, it's not a bad idea to try to clean it up.

HTH!

Thanks

Hey man, just want to say thanks, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME!!

yeah i think i did add that in, i got to the point where i had just started trying everything! i will put the deault template back in and make the modifications again from scratch..
Hope that will clean it up a bit!

So the rules at the bottom of a css file should overwrite the rules at the top of the file?

I am working from a wordpress template and i wouldnt know where to start to modify the .php template? Its not somthing i am comfortable in modifying at the moment.

i am trying to work only using the .css file.

I will try to get this working this evening, when i get home!

Thanks again man! You Rock!

  Not always. This depends on the specificity of the rules also. For example:
  
  Code:
  
  body #wrapper { background: none; } #wrapper { background: black; }
  
  Will mean the item with the id="wrapper" will have no background. This is because "body #wrapper" is more specific than just "#wrapper".
  
  In fact, the ONLY time top to bottom order matters, is if the specificity of the rules are exactly the same.
  
  Read more about specificity here.

I understand what you mean with being more specific in the code to overwrite the other css codes, thanks for explaining that, you probably noticed i learn through trial and error... but this is more complicated than what i have tried before! Thanks for baring with me.. I Owe you!

Turns out you are spot on! There is css in the html codes, trouble being i dont understand the html conversions for css. i can identify the navigation bar in the html code but i dont know what part i need to change and what i need to change it to?

So i understand i need to make the changes in the html file as this is what is overriding the css file.

dont suppose you could let me know what this code would look like in html format?

Code:

#access li:hover > a, #access ul ul *:hover > a {     background: -moz-linear-gradient(100% 100% 90deg, #FFFFFF, #FFFFFF) repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;     font-size: 15px; }

I have no idea??

Once again, sorry for being such a pain in the ass!! :rolleyes: I owe you like 6 beers...No worrys if your busy, at least i have an idea of what needs to be done!! Thanks

Alexio

You're welcome Alexio!

@wayfarer is right about specificity overriding order. I know, it can get confusing!

So I imagine you've heard this a hundred times, but I really recommend you either get a book and/or read some of the online tutorials on CSS. You'll save yourself a *lot* of time if you already know what to do/look for instead of via trial and error. Plus it'll make your CSS code more readable and well organized without a lot of redundancy.

If all you're trying to do is change the look of your page, then tinkering with just the CSS is perfectly ok and the recommended way to go. No need to go into the PHP theme files.

I don't know what you mean by "html conversions for css", but if I'm guessing correctly, then let me re-state point #4 above: get rid of any CSS that is inline in your HTML. For example, anything that is contained in a style block like:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
--- CSS code ---
</style>

Now this is going to be a pain, but you'll have to manually merge any differing CSS from those style blocks back into your main css files (like style.css, etc.). Hopefully, none of that was generated using some plugin.

Thanks

Dude, I totally love you!!!

As you may have noticed i got it working thanks to your explanations, i am using a theme but for the admin options to work the css had to be mixed in with the php.. I just deleted the css from the php and now it works perfect, just need to remember not to make any changes in the admin panel!

Thanks for explaining me through all that! Really made my life so much easier!

You got yourself a IOU if you ever need a favor let me know!

Thanks

  Nicely done Alexio. Glad to see you got it working.
  
  Just an FYI though - I see that your HTML still has CSS inline, which you may want to clean up at a later date. If you want to do that before you become a CSS master, sit down with an experienced developer, make a dev copy of your site and have them walk you through the changes.
  
  Cheers!

  Yeah i still have a lot to learn, just taking baby steps in learning to do everything at once! At the moment i am only learning things that i need to know, but when i have more time, i will learn to become the css master heheh!
  
  Im still setting up the membership scripts and creating products etc so time is limited! I Know i shouldnt spend so much time on one menu... hahah but i like it. you can see the menu here if your interested: www.chiforceacademy.com/members
  
  Im going to change the menu images at some point as my graphic design skills are limited - i would rather get a professional who has a good eye for design to do these for me...
  
  Thanks for all the great advice guys!!
  
  Thanks

If you want to fix your blog yourself, learn HTML and CSS. There are plenty of websites. Or, maybe, hire someone to fix it for you. You should always focus on your core work area. Just because you need a pair of jeans, will you won't start stitching one yourself unless?

if you're a good manager and want to focus on other things, by all means outsource it. My little engineer's brain would never let me do that though.
