RE: [WSG] Making CSS Buttons active

[Michael Kear]

Thanks for the suggestion.  That’s what I thought.   I’m using display:block,  so I must have some other error or something in there.  I’ll go through the style sheet line by line again and see if I can see what’s negating the display:block .   Thanks for the suggestion.     Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Macromedia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks Pty Ltd http://afpwebworks.com Full Scale ColdFusion hosting from A$15/month       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 29 July 2005 8:19 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] Making CSS Buttons active   You need to use the property "display:block;".
