Please help me fix these th styling LINKS in table Updated question)

Hello all,

This is an update to the below recently answered question:

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26913465/Please-help-me-with-color-consistancy-among-group-of-link-classes.html

After I closed the above question I found additional issues that need to be fixed.

Here's the page:
http://hypermastery.com/suggestions-test

I tried fixing the issue myself. In the process I decided to delete the css solution offered in the above question and revised my css per the below snippet. (I deleted it because I think it affected all th's in the table class="adminlist", and I only wanted it to affect the top row. Now I am not sure my deleting that was a good approach???)

The problem is the top titles now stay white, which is what I want. However the various links under the TITLE when hovered, also become white.(Example: "Music for Harmonicas"). They need to be black text under all link states.

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Override the a:hover {} definition with:

th a:hover { color: #000; }

HI JosefVerner:

I'm working on your suggestion first

To override the th styling in the adminlist table I tried the below code. Putting your CSS before my code to take advantage of cascading. But it didn't help.

With the new snippet in place I still get the white font when hovering over the text below the Title column ("Music for Harmonicas")

Perhaps I am not doing the overriding correctly? I obviously need some fine tuning!

Forgot to include my code (it's at the tail end of the external style sheet)

th a:hover { color: #000; 
}


th.gridsortx a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;	
	
}

th.suggvotesx a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;

}

th.suggcommentsx a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;	

}

th.authorx a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;	

}

th.suggestdatex a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;	
	
}

Actually LZ1 gave you more specific advice.
You need to either remove the color from th.class a
or
specify the color for every th.class a
or
you can try override id with "stronger" declaration such as:

#tablecell th a:hover {
	color: #000;
}

th.gridsortx a:hover,
th.suggvotesx a:hover,
th.suggcommentsx a:hover,
th.authorx a:hover,
th.suggestdatex a:hover {
	color: #000;
}

Hi

Thanks for your help and patience!

First remind me. To override the th's I assume I need to put the overriding code BEFORE the rest of the code. per my below example.

Also the table does not have an id. It is a class (at least that's the way the html is currently written. So instead of your suggestion

#tablecell th a:hover {
color: #000;
}

I modified it to a class:

.tablecell th a:hover {
color: #000;
}

In either case it apparently didn't work.
BTW your code calls it tablecell but it is actually table class="adminlist"

Is tablecell a generic way to style a tablecell? Or is that just a "made up" identification for your example

:)

.tablecell th a:hover {
	color: #000;
}
th.authorx a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;	

}

th.suggestdatex a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;	
	
}

th.titlex a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;	
	
}
th.bribex a, a:hover, a:focus {
	color: #FFF;	
	
}

Should I put

td a:hover {
color: #000;
}

before or after all of my styles to get it to override them.

Thanks!

JosefVerner

Since there isn't any previous definition of TD A so it doesn't matter but if there was an you would have to put the new one after it.

Thanks JosefVerner

That did the trick.

And thanks LZ1 for your assist.
