make a specific category stand out

**johnny43** · 13 Jul 2006, 05:13 AM

I would like to make a specific category stand out...
I have installed BetterCategoriesEzInfo v1.3.0.2.

I have read "// to make a specific category stand out define a new class in the stylesheet example: A.category-holiday
// uncomment the select below and set the cPath=3 to the cPath= your_categories_id
// many variations of this can be done"
and
"A.category-holiday {
color: red;
font-weight: bold;
}"

How would I add a hover and active effect to this ?

Per CSS pseudo-classes in tutorial at w3schools.com:

A.category-holiday:hover {

A.category-holiday:active {

I'm using BetterCategoriesEzInfo v1.3.0.2

I have made a specific category stand out called category-bledevie,

How could get the font color White and when selected, to be another color ?

By "selected", do you mean when clicking (active) or afterwards (visited)?

You have learned how to modify different states of your categories; just put the appropriate
color: xxx;
in the rules you want to affect.

I tried...I just see on e big css jungle..*lol*

I tried this for starters:
a.category-bledevie{
background-color:#ffbb33;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight:bold;
}

Looks ok in FF but not IE

I must be missing someting in the overwrites or css....

Or it could be a problem with the way IE interprets something or other... wouldn't be the first time that's happened ;)

If you post *how* it misbehaves (and give a url) those who know the ins and outs of browser/CSS compatibility may be able to help.
