Hi All,

 

Im trying to apply some CSS to an echo statement and it will not work.

 

The echo is still printing, its just not applying the CSS, i have used the CSS on another HTML page so i know the CSS is correct.

 

I'm not that good with PHP and because of this, its probably a simple mistake with a " or '

 

echo "<p class=\"whitetext\"><a href=\"menu.html\">View The Shoutbox</a></p>";

 

Thanks in advance

Your PHP is correct. Fancy posting the CSS?

 

EDIT: If you want a hyperlink to appear as 'whitetext', you need to make a new CSS rule like:

 

.whitetext a:link {

}

 

Assuming you haven't done that. That's the only thing I could see preventing it.

Hi Shaun,

 

I have used the following CSS:

 

.whitetext { color: #FFFFFF; }

 

I have applied the CSS to an HTML link and it works fine, but when applied within PHP it won't

 

Thanks

It shouldn't work in HTML, though. You're not defining the link style.

 

See: http://www.ggth.net/testcss.php

 

You just need to do what I said before:

 

.whitetext a:link {
color: #FFFFFF; 
}

Thanks,

 

I'll give that a go when i get home from work, Thanks once again

Thanks,

Hi pat24,

 

I have only just seen your post, but i tried Shaun's suggestion last night and it worked fine.

 

Thank you both for your input.
