Why won't my CSS work?

11,089 · February 2, 2013

Hi all. I'm having a bit of trouble with some CSS not working, and I'm unable to see why. I'm not a CSS guru by any means, so no doubt it's something really simple that I've missed.

Also, before anyone vomits at the use of tables, they're only used because this particular page is not going to be used by many people, and I'm not the greatest with DIVs so I didn't really have the time. (I'm still learning how to use DIVs correctly).

Anyway, it's a bit of a mess given I have been trying different thigns, so I'd relaly appreciate anyone who could take a look and guide me in the right direction.

Note: I've included all the PHP that I've had made for me, just in case it is something to do with that.

what are you trying to do and which part isn't working?

February 3, 2013

well your css file looks fine. just make sure it is named "css.css" and is located in the root of your web dir.

I want to change the font in each table row.

It is. The notes section towards the bottom works, but nothing else.

Use Firefox or Chrome and inspect / debug the page. It will show you which styles are being load and/or overriden to help you track down the issue.

You are missing a closing bracket for #login_title.

Also, note that at the last code, it says centre and not center with ER at the end.

There are many similar properties. You can group them together with a comma.

This isn't related to your CSS, but your code has an SQL injection vulnerability (You're directly including part of the query string into an SQL query with no validation), use PDO+prepared statements instead of the mysql_* APIs and you won't have that issue (It'll be faster too)

Thanks so much. You have no idea how much I have stared at this CSS for.

Also, note that at the last code, it says centre and not center with ER at the end.

I didn't realise that could be done, I appreciate it.

Thanks a lot, I have no idea what PDO and prepared statements is, but I will pass it on to the person who made it for me. Thanks for pointing it out.

Now it won't pay attention to my fonts.

Change CSS.css to style.css. Make it less confusing.

Now it won't pay attention to my fonts.

Try to put them into quote marks, so instead of Calibri, write "Calibri" and etc.

No need. This:


font-family: Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Optima, Arial, sans-serif;
[/CODE]

Will work perfectly fine. Quotes are only needed for white space or hypens, or if you were trying to use a font called "sans-serif" instead of the generic sans-serif.

OP, are you sure it's not paying attention to any fonts? Based on the original code, you've declared them all about a dozen times.
