Category Sidebox -- Change Font Color on hover

[johnd]

Hi

I changed my stylesheet to have the Category names turn from blue to red when you hover on them. I tried to make it work like Important Links and Information sideboxes. It doesn't. Even after I clear my cache, some category names come up red and other blue. Sometimes they're all blue. Other times they're all red. Inconsistent.

What did I do wrong? How do I fix it?

As an extra, I'd like to have the name go bold too on hover. My eyes are straining.

Hello,

I was curious why you have it on your CSS as A.category-top

Shouldn't it be just .category-top

Hi Steve

I don't know the difference between those two. I just tried to make it look like the other sideboxes as I understood them. I'll go to w3schools and see if I can figure out the difference and if it impacts what I tried to do.

Thanks

LOL I don't know either. I am just learning this stuff (trying to learn). What would happen if you removed the A from all your CSS entries for that particular section? You have it a few times in a section on the CSS. If it doesn't help you can always add the A again.

Hopefully one of the Zen Cart gurus will step in and point us both in the right direction.

I just took a look at your stylesheet. Found your A.category-top entries. You have this in front of it: .sideBoxContent
I don't have that. I'll check the original ZC stylesheet. Maybe I inadvertently deleted it.

That's funny, I don't even know what I have. I will learn eventually and I will continue to make myself look funny. But it's all good.

I wish you luck on this.

J,

You have duplicated the following declarations below in your stylesheet.css

A.category-top, A.category-top:visited {
color: #004080;
text-decoration: none;
}
A.category-top, A.category-top:hover {
color: #FF0000;
text-decoration: none;
}

Delete the following and replace the two above with these:
Adjust the red letters to your needs.

A.category-top {
color: #3300FF;
text-decoration: none;
}

A.category-top:visited {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}

A:hover {
font-weight: bold;
}

Hello,
I have:
A.category-top, A.category-top:visited {
color: #008000;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 1.2em;
}

A:hover {
color: #0000FF;
}

Its working, but when I hover over visited links, they won't highlight. How can I change it so that the visited links also gets highlighted? Thanks.
