Hi, I am trying (and nearly finished) to create a template for my joomla CMS. I have found a css problem I CANT fix... the problem is that no matter what style or language I script my styles, I cannot get my header links (id="plinks") to change their style.

 

Here is the style for the "plinks"

 

#plinks {
background: url(../images/bg-menu.png);
height: 34px;
padding-top: 1px;	
      color: #FFFFFF;
font-family: verdana;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
text-decoration: none;
}
[/quote]

You will probably say there are other styles counter-acting this one, but trust me... I have tried to put this right... Here is my full CSS file...

OK... final bit of briefing... I have tried using span classes and alos directly using html codes (very uneficient and even more so unsuccessfull) but came to a clash between my vertical and horizontal mod_menu.

 

I really hope someone can help cuzz this is getting stupid... I have spent like 2 weeks styling this and am on the verge of giving up... Thanks in Advance.

Have you tried giving the styles that will not apply the "important" attribute?


 



http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#important-rules


 






#plinks {
   background: url(../images/bg-menu.png);
   height: 34px; !important
   padding-top: 1px !important;   
      color: #FFFFFF !important;
   font-family: verdana;
   font-weight: bold;
   font-size: 12px !important;
   text-decoration: none !important;
}
