For this layout, I use a custom .CSS file, which is loaded with the layout.

I'm trying to make some modifications to it, but they don't seem to be working. I want to make the color of links in my posts cyan.

Here's my current .CSS file:

.eq body { font: Arial 10pt; }
.eq blockquote { border: 3px dotted #6666FF; background: #000055; color: Cyan; padding: 5px; width=95% }
.eq A:link { color: Cyan; }

Obviously, A:link isn't right, since it isn't working. I also tried just link, href, and I tried adding link to the body{} syntax, all to no avail. How should I do it?

Thanks in advance!

First of all, holy jesus don't use body.
Second of all, width: 95%.
Third, the A not working may be because of the row before it is broken (see point two)
Fourth, no, not cyan, I'd rather hop on the crazy train.

Yeah, messing around with the body is a no-no. Don't forget you're doing this for a post layouts, which is just a TABLE on every page of this board, while that whole page has it's own CSS, including body definitions; your post layouts is NOT the same as a whole webpage.

Correct syntax (without the body):

blockquote.eq{
border-color:#6666ff;
border-width:3px;
border-style:dotted;
background-color: #000055;
color:Cyan;
padding:5px;
width:95%;
}
a.eq{
color:Cyan;
}

Ah! Thanks!

So, if I don't use body, since it's for a table, what would be the proper way to set the font face and size?

.table for font? Meh. Proper way is simply defining the font tag with CSS, example:

font{font-family:Verdama; font-size:10px; color:#ffffff; line-height:16px;}

(rf font.eq is you want it to be a class like you apperantly were meant to do with your a and blockquote tags)

you just set the font in a class type

then at the beginning of your layout

< table blah blah class=cssclass >

I didn't mean that, I just don't see the point of putting font definitions in a class for a table. If not obvious enough, font{} is for <font>, table{} is for <table>, td{} is for <td>, and so on.

ErkDog's right; it would affect every other post too unless he used [hisownlayoutid] table {}.

<style>
.test table {color:#FFFF66}
.test td {color:#99FF99}
.test font {color:#CCCCFF}
</style>


<table class=test><th>This should be uncolored text<tr><td>This should be green text, <font class=test>this should be blue text</font> <div class=test>and this should be green again</table>

This should be uncolored text
This should be green text, this should be blue text
and this should be green again


The font color attribute in .table does nothing, putting it in .td affects all <td> cells in tables that use it (not <th>), while putting it in .font only affects text between <font> tags ... so if you want to affect a whole table, .td is the one to use
