Hi Folks.
The code below does exactly what I want it to do. It displays a green box and
a brown box, both with white writing in.
However, when I try to do this on the page I need it for, I always black
writing. Does anyone have any clues why?
Code that works:
A heading
A paragraph
The code that doesn't work is PHP generated and hidden behind an
authentication system. However I've saved a static copy at :
http://www.nymr.org.uk/testing/mdates.html
The CSS is at http://www.nymr.org.uk/nymr.css
Gary

Yes. Because on the live page after:
> td#day54 { color: #ffffff; background-color: #876811;}
> td#day55 { color: #ffffff; background-color: #72bf44;}

You then have:
#rostertable a
{
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
}
The text in your table cells is all links, so both rules match. Note
that both that rule and the td#day54 ones match one ID and one element
name, so they have the same specificity -- which means the latter rule
is applied and the links turn black.
If you change that to:
color: #FFF
then all links in the table will be white (and you can remove the text
colour from each separate cell).
If you want the link (text) colour to depend on the background colour
then make the link text be:
color: inherit;
and it will use whatever is specified as the text colour for the cell as
a whole.

Units don't matter when the value is zero, so that could be:
padding: 0;
> ...

I think you need a more specific selector here, like "td#day54 a" or
possibly event "td#day54 a:link".

Thanks to both of you for your replies.
The 'color: inherit;' worked.
Cheers

You used to be able to colo a real server in Bradford at Legend, but
these are now owned by Thus who may not be taking on new work in the
old Bradford office.
Energis in Leeds do real colo, but it might start at the full-rack
service, and grow from there.
Why a VM in Bradford ? Surely it just needs to be topologically
close to your users ... a VM on a box in London will probably be
better from someone like bytemark.co.uk (a Yorkshire based company).
Failing that, asking off-list can get you a VM in Manchester.
