Problems with using an HTML box with css/ordered list

[mrbean17]

Hey all,

http://nordoniasoftball.com/forum

Look at that menu that is across the top ... when using an HTML box, it looks like I'm completely loosing my formatting.

It should look like this: http://nordoniasoftball.com/htmlstyle.html

Here is what I am trying to use the HTML box:

Code Select Expand


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/mainmenu.css">
</head>

<body>
<ul id="minitabs">
<li><a href="index.html">| Home | </a></li>
<li><a href="fields.html">| Field Info | </a></li>
<li><a href="leauges.html">| Leauges |</a></li>
<li><a href="../Forum" target="_top">| Forums | </a></li>
<li><a href="pictures.html">| Pictures | </a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">| Contact |</a></li>
</ul>

</body>
</html>


The .css is attached.

Any advice?

Thanks

So it looks like I'm colliding with the main style.css ...

I tried adding my .css stuff to the main style.css at the bottom (go to /* Menu - mini tabs */)

And from my HTML box, I call it as such:

<li><a href="leauges.html">| Leauges |</a></li>

<li><a href="pictures.html">| Pictures | </a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">| Contact |</a></li>
</ul>


Yet it still is not displaying properly ... why? I am calling the <ul id="minitabs">, so why am I not getting my style sheet settings?

Thanks

[mrbean17]

I can't win ...

Now I tried saving the css declaration to another file and calling it from index.template.php and I'm still not getting anywhere ...

I saved the above css code to mainmenu.css and added into the template at this point:

Code Select Expand


   // The ?fin11 part of this link is just here to make sure browsers don't cache it wrongly.
   echo '
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/style.css?fin11" />
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['theme_url'], '/mainmenu.css?fin11" />
   <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/print.css?fin11" media="print" />';


Thanks

[IchBin]

The menu looks fine to me. Did you fix it or something?

[mrbean17]

Yeah, I had to muck around a bit ... the ordered list concept didn't work as it should have in normal html, basically I changed it to use one list as such:

Code Select Expand


<ul id="minitabs">
    <li><a href="../index.html">| Home |</a> <a href="">| Field Info |</a> <a href="">| Statistics |</a> <a href="/forum">| Forums |</a> <a href="">| Pictures |</a> <a href="">| Help |</a></li>
</ul>


Thanks for looking into it though.
