Hi evolters;
I have a problem here which is driving me rapidly bersqueak. On Windows XP,
Netscape 4.75 is behaving differently to every other browser I can find.
I'll avoid posting the whole page (A Cold Fusion script) here, but I have a
<div> inside a <p> inside a <td> inside a <tr> inside a <table> inside the
<body> in the <html>. With me so far?
Now, the problem is in the <p> and <div> bit. Both call styles as follows:
<p class="marginated">
<div class="hilink">
Content here
</div>
</p>
The styles are:
.marginated {
margin-left : 8px;
margin-right : 8 px;
margin-top : 5px;
margin-bottom : 5 px;
font-family : Verdana, Arial, sans-serif ;
font-color : #FFFFFF ;
}
.hilink A {
text-decoration: none;
color: #00ff00;
}
It's obeying the <div> style, but not the <p> style. I know inheritance is
bad in Netscape 4.x - but is there any way around this without resorting to
font tags?
Neither I nor the Code Otter can make head or tail of this...
Cheers,
Drew.
