[css-d] Questions regarding how to make selected li red with css
Hi Everyone... I have two questions and I'm hoping someone here might know the answers... I'm not that experienced with css, and am very curious if anyone out here would know how I can achieve the effect of highlighting the selected item on my list in red instead of blue. The page is at http://www.octos.org/ooth/2new.htm I have validated it and noted that the function that I'm using that will allow me to put the document in the window immediately to the right uses &&'s and that is throwing errors with the validator. From what I can tell there are no other errors except those in the AJAX script. Are there any hints for having the script tag elements validate or will they always give errors? Much thanks for your assistance and consideration. Have a wonderful day everyone! -- Laura mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

This should do that--
#navcontainer a:hover {
background-color: red; <- ::red
border-bottom: none;
color: #FF;
margin-bottom: 0;
text-decoration: none;
}

Tidy Online is helpful. Correct what Tidy does not correct manually.

Short answer: put the script in question in an external script imported with the "src" attribute rather than inline. Longer answer, read: * XHTML 1.0 specification on "Script and Style elements": http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8 * XHTML 1.0 specification's compatibility suggestions for "Embedded Style Sheets and Scripts" when serving as text/html tag soup: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_4 * "HTML Comments in Scripts" for a discussion of some of the issues: http://lachy.id.au/log/2005/05/script-comments You might also want to read: http://www.webdevout.net/articles/beware-of-xhtml and think about whether XHTML was really the best choice on technical grounds for your use-case … Hope that helps. -- Benjamin Hawkes-Lewis __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
