Ackbarr, you are, as always, my hero. (You and Catzwolf, that is!) Thanks!

Of course, now my FTP server is acting up so I can't upload, but I'll get to it eventually. Thanks again!

I've loaded your theme up at my website:

http://ackbarr.greatweb.com/

a modified style is available at http://ackbarr.greatweb.com/xoops2/themes/EC/styleNN.css

basically all I did was fix all of the css validation errors in the file. Unfortunately, I don't know which one fixed the problem in particular.

That's what I'm assuming is going on, but da**ed if I can figure out what it is, exactly.

You rock!

A couple things jump out:
1. I don't think single line comments are allowed in CSS try using /* and */ around your commented lines

I fixed that and it had not effect. *sigh*

2. It doesn't have any complaint with the styles in question


Hence the level of my consternation!

If fixing the validation errors doesn't do the trick, double check the selector. Selectors are supposed to be case sensitive so make sure the class "LeftblockContent" is used properly.


Yeah, that was the first thing I looked at.

You are a godsend!

I don't have your email, or I'd send ya the theme files to check out yourself.

Thanks again. You're awesome!

my recommendation is to use the Mozilla DOM Inspector (Tools -> Web Development -> DOM Inspector) to see why your page is ignoring those styles. If unfamiliar with using the DOM Inspector try the links below:

Introduction to the DOM Inspector (brownhen.com)
Using Mozilla for Testing and Debugging Sites (gemal.dk)

The second link covers many of the web development tools available within the Mozilla suite.


Yeah, I did that, but all it did was tell me that Mo isn't recognizing my styles...which I already knew. What I am cracking my skull over is the "why" portion.
