Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] styling links (was: Weird characters in generated HTML)
I ran across a little more info about this. If you do what I suggested previously, a[href]{ color: red; text-decoration: underline;}, then your problem is fixed in firefox, but you've got a new problem in IE (in 7 anyway...not sure about others). It appears that IE 7 doesn't recognize the a[href] selector. So your caught between a mozilla bug (inabiilty to see that <a/> is the same as <a></a>) and an IE bug (inabilty to recognize a[href]). So here's my advice: 1. Don't style link text (best approach...I don't style them except for this one css that I inherited, which is where I ran across this problem) 2. If you do, ask someone on a css list how to deal with the problem, given that your content will have lots of <a id="foo"/> tags and you can't/don't want to force them to be <a id="foo"></a>. 3. You could try getting your output to look like this, but I'm no css expert. This seems to handle IE and Firefox, but I don't know about other browsers: <style type="text/css" media="screen"> a[href]{ color: red; text-decoration: none;} </style> <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> a{ color: red; text-decoration: none;} </style> <![endif]--> David > -----Original Message----- > From: Johnson, Eric [mailto:Eric.Johnson@iona.com] > Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 9:39 AM > To: David Cramer; Barton Wright > Cc: docbook-apps > Subject: RE: [docbook-apps] Weird characters in generated HTML > > David, > The change to the CSS did the trick!!
