Easy Html with Aspx question

bekim · August 16th, 2004, 08:24 PM

I am pretty familar with CSS but I am stuck.
Until now I didn't have any problems with CSS wether I use straight html or aspx page but I got this working in straight html page but not when I apply it to aspx.
I only included the important stuff:

<html>
<head>
<link href="style.css" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<a href="www.event.aspx" class="sigslinks">sdhdthetryhedy</a>
</body>
</html>

with style.css:
A.SigsLinks :link
{ font-size: .6em;
text-decoration: none;
color:blue;
}

But when I put this in aspx file it doesn't apply:
lblsigs.Text = "<table><tr><td><a href='www.event.aspx' class='sigslinks'>Click Here</a></tr></td></table>"

What is wrong?

lblsigs.Text = "<table><tr><td><a href='www.event.aspx' class='sigslinks'>Click Here</a></td></tr></table>"

Your HTML is a bit wrong, this should fix it

I guess my first question would be:

Why are you putting a table into the text property of a label?

-----------------------------------

My guess is that your problem lies with this line:

<link href="style.css" rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css">

If you are using the default style sheet that VS builds, it is named "styles.css".

I tried replicating your code and that seemed to be the only thing that I saw regarding the CSS.

Thank you for your replies but these suggestion don't answer my question.
Style.css is correct.

THE REAL QUESTION IS USING style for A links in CSSWHEN I USE CLASS INSIDE A HREF TAG IT DOESN'T WORK IN ASPX.
This code works in .HTML extension page fine but when the same code is used in .ASPX page all other Css shows but the A.SigsLink :link

No need to shout.

Maybe the ASPX pages uses a different doctype so the behavior is different?

Anyway, CSS selectors are case sensitive; so make sure your <a> tag uses SigsLinks as the class instead of sigslinks as per your example.
Maybe the HTML pages uses the correct capitalization?

That's the only reason I can think of for this behavior. As far as the browser is concerned, there is no difference between an ASPX page and an HTML page, so the problem must be somewhere else.

Cheers,
