CSS Styling has no effect in externally referenced file

[sbryan]

Resolved.

I'm running into a weird problem:

When I style `<li>, <ul>, and <a>` elements within my PHP document, everything appears as it should. When I externally reference them, things go haywire.

All other elements in the external file work, so the file is linked correctly.

Any ideas?

Do you have a link or code so we can see exactly what is happening?

See the bugger here

Notice the link states and the ignored formatting rules for the `<li>` items

You didn't provide any styles for the a, ul and li items in your stylesheet so of course they're not going to be styled.

They're defined as a class. And since he is using <span> tags with that class and not <ul> or <li> tags ...

I don't see why it isn't working. :stumped:

Look at the "upcomingacts" div in the source code. There's an unordered list in there and I think that's what he's talking about. There are also no styles for that id either.

If I add,

#upcomingacts li {
 font-size: 2em;
}

to the CSS it certainly works. Are you sure you uploaded the CSS file after making changes? Otherwise you'll need to elaborate on what specifically is not working and what you're expecting.

It was actually a server issue. For whatever reason, that CSS file wasn't being replaced with all of the other files.
