The style wont apply!

[Woxy]

Hello all! I may be a noob when it comes to PHP but i still can't understand why this doesn't work:

 

echo "<li><a href=game.php?id=$row[1]><span class=linky>$row[1]</span></a><br></li>";

 

.linky {
a:link color: #FFA200;
a:visited color: #878787;
a:active letter-spacing: 5px;
a:hover text-decoration:none; color:#FFFFFF;
}

The links come out 100% standard however i do.

Try this..

 

echo '<li><a href="game.php?id=' . $row[1] . '"><span class="linky">' . $row[1] . '</span></a><br></li>';

[Adam]

Oh no, wait, the styles are all wrong...

 

.linky {
color: #FFA200;
color: #878787;
letter-spacing: 5px;
text-decoration:none; color:#FFFFFF;
}

 

--edit--

Found a guide and tried their technique;

a.column:link {color: #009900;}
a.column:visited {color: #999999;}
a.column:hover {color: #333333;}
a.column:focus {color: #333333;}
a.column:active {color: #009900;}

 

So here's my css file now:

a.linky:link {color: #009900;}
a.linky:visited {color: #999999;}
a.linky:hover {color: #333333;}

The links colors changed to white, but they're still in Times New Roman and nothing happens when i hover over them...

 

EDIT: For some reason, the links colored are back to standard again...

That's because when you do the link code in the html you need to add the class there.  So it should be <a class="linky" href="link.com">Link</a>

[Woxy]

That worked... Once. When I now try to change the colors it won't apply. How can this be?

What does your code look like?

[Woxy]

They colors have applied now. Maybe I just left something out. Only one thing left now: How do i change font and text-decoration of the links?

[haku]

font-family: a_font b_font c_font;
text-decoration: underline;

[Woxy]

I know that, but how do I apply the code to the php?

[departedmind]

font-family: a_font b_font c_font;
text-decoration: underline;

 

Write those styles in your css class (linky) and apply this class while you echo through PHP on <a> tag.

[haku]

You don't apply CSS to php, you apply it to the (X)HTML that the php outputs.

Tried that, did nothing.
