Re: [WSG] Span within a "li"

If tha'ts the actual string you have two issues
1) Missing dot for .item361, so it's not combining with the li
2) you're only styling unvisited links
Also it sounds like your selector is losing a specificity war. Try debugging
with this:
#left ul .item361 a span { display: none !important; }
or
#left ul li.item361 a span { display: none !important; }
If it disappears, you're at least hitting the right element. Remove the
!important and if it reappears then it's a specificity issue.
Not entirely sure what you're trying to do so I'm not sure if that helps...
hope it does though :)
cheers,
Ben

RE: [WSG] Span within a "li"
How do you want to style this? Is the dot meant to be there??? If it's not meant to be there, check in the Joomla backend that the name for the link does not include the dot. Otherwise what people have said previously will work in terms of CSS styling. -Original Message- From: li...@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:li...@webstandardsgroup.org] On Behalf Of Simon Josephson Sent: Tuesday, 12 May 2009 12:33 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] Span within a "li" hi guys I am stumped with this - I have a menu list that is generated out of a database; the menu has several items and each has a 'class' attribute that reflects the item id, thus: --- .

Re: [WSG] Span within a "li"
Hi Simon,
Looks like you need a more specific selector:
#left ul li.item361 span {background:red;}
does the trick :)

Re: [WSG] Span within a "li"
Thanks Christian, Mike, Adam and Ross
:((
As you suggested Mike, overly simplistic... Still no 'uptake'
Here is the URL, look to the left and you will notice a menu item with
a bullet (hardcoded) - Who Are We; this is item. Check it out with
"firebug' etc
In advance thanks!!!

hi guys
I am stumped with this - I have a menu list that is generated out of a
database; the menu has several items and each has a 'class' attribute
that reflects the item id, thus:
---
. Who Are We
Recent News
etc etc
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to style... JUST the li class
of "item361" (the reference '361' is to a document and remains
static)... the "span" of the "li" to ". Who Are We"?
Just the "span" within the "li" class "item361". Is it possible?
Note... only the 'item361'; not item111 or item359, nor 'current'.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

RE: [WSG] Span within a "li"
There must be more to this than what you have said, because:
Li.item361 a span { what:ever; }
Should work okay, indeed is probably too verbose/explicit.
