Class & ID

[tjgriffiths1]

Hey Guys,

Really struggling with this concept, basically trying to position tables around my page, so am using div elements to seperate them, and am TRYING to add a class and ID to add styles to each DIV tag. HOWEVER, I just can’t seem to get it to work, I have checked the w3schools explanation and the htmldog description and so i think i know what i’m doing, but it’s still not responding.

Can anyone give me any tips as to why it wouldn’t be working?

I’ll just give a quick example of what i’m doing…

GOOGLE

And then i have a seperate stylesheet (which is linked correctly) and i am putting something like

div #links
{
font-size="80%"
}

Obviously this is just an example to show you what i’m doing, and hopefully you can point out what i’m doing wrong?

FYI, I’m using Firefox V3.6

you can also write it like…

div#links {

font-size: 80%;

}

Thanks @springlab & @Fourize!

After a couple of hours i think i’ve got it cracked. Just got to keep track of id names etc.

Thanks for your help.

div #links

is a div with another element inside it that has the id ‘links’

e.g.

to target the div called links you must not have a space between the element type and it’s id (or even class for that matter)

Also, <a href=”www.google.com”>GOOGLE</a> will link to mysite.com/www.google.com. To link to an external site, you must prefix it with http://, such as: <a href=”http://www.google.com”>GOOGLE</a&gt;.
