[css-d] Problem with float drop on pages with a 3-column CSS layout that are generated by Movable Type

Hi Everyone I've been banging my head against this problem for two days to no avail. I haven't got a great deal of experience when it comes to creating complex CSS layouts, so please don't assume too much knowledge. The CSS I created seems to be working fine on hand-built pages like this one: ht

Re: [css-d] font color change on individual letters of a word

That's way more code than just styling it inline, IMHO. Even if you were going to do it this way, it would be better to create simpler classes: a{color:red;} .blue{color:blue;} .green{color:green;} A class overrides a simple element selector, so the classed span (.blue) would override the a

I'm now trying to follow the strict definit

Using span elements with inline style blocks will fix your problem. Example: Flickr On Jan 8, 2009, at 6:27 PM, James E. Darfler wrote: > I'm now trying to follow the strict > definition of XHTML and it doesn't like the "font" in the solution.

I'm looking for a way to specify that text in cells be vertical such that Latin text is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise (text running bottom to top). Specifically, I'm looking for a way that affects layout--not for a way to rotate the box post-layout. I want the text be laid out on one

Re: [css-d] question about combining descendant selectors

Your selectors are wrong. You aren't using descendent selectors for .article. You are saying .hm #news_snip .date has the color green AND ALSO .article has the color green, because of the comma. That means you have two declarations for .article, and the second one is over-riding the first.
