Using RSS on own site to highlight own content

Try using a class for the links and wrap the script in <div class=" "> and </div> tags.

For some reason that doesn't work.. Beats me. Here's the CSS I used:

Code:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
.feed
{
a:link {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: black;}
a:visited {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: black;}
a:hover {text-decoration: none; border-bottom: dotted 1px black; font-family: arial color: 

black;}
a:active {text-decoration: none; border-bottom: dotted 1px black; font-family: arial color: 

black;} 
}
-->
</STYLE>

And then I wrapped

Code:

[div class="feed']table with feed[/div]

around the table. Now I know you can use CSS instead of tables, but one thing at a time. My brain is going to explode.

Anyways, that doesn't want to work. You can see what it does look like so far though. I have gotten somewhere with it

Make sure you use <div class="feed"> </div>

Yeah I did. Sorry, I made some typos in my hurry. Not focusing here.

Any other ideas what it could be? I'll reprint the php code to see if you can figure it out.

Code:

<?
include_once("nbxmlconfig.php");
XMLRandomHeadlines("<a href=\"<xmlurl>\" target=\"_self\"><font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#000000\" size=\"2\"><xmltitle></font></a><br><br />", 6);
?>

try doing this

Code:

.feed a:link {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: black;}
.feed a:visited {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: black;}
.feed a:hover {text-decoration: none; border-bottom: dotted 1px black; font-family: arial color: black;}

I tried that and it still didn't work. I can't believe this. It can't POSSIBLY be this hard. I must be missing something stupid, but I don't know what it is.

The test page I'm using is http://www.northernprotocol.com/articles/biztest.php

Maybe if you wish to view the source to locate the problem? I am truly stumped (I guess it doesn't take much).

im not at my computer right now, so i can't really play with the code, but i meant to say that

Code:

.feed
{
.feed a:link {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: black;}
.feed a:visited {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: black;}
.feed a:hover {text-decoration: none; border-bottom: dotted 1px black; font-family: arial color: black;}
}

should look like

Code:

.feed a:link {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: black;}
.feed a:visited {text-decoration: none; font-family: arial; color: black;}
.feed a:hover {text-decoration: none; border-bottom: dotted 1px black; font-family: arial color: black;}

You genius!! You did it! Thank you SOO much. Ok, I'm really happy now.

Edit: I just wanted to add that I really learned a lot in this thread. I can use the knowledge as I tweak the rest of my site (when I get around to it). Thanks again.

Glad I could be of assistance. You'll be able to tweek that script to do lots of things once you get good at it, and you made a nice to step in learning some more about CSS. Way to stick with it.

edit: bump my
