[SOLVED] Text not showing black in lists?

PicoDeath · #1 Dec 4th, 2007, 14:24

The font is appearing white when everything(body tag aswell) is set to black.

    <div id="footer">
        <ul class="footerlinks">
            <li><a href="" title="">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="" title="">Process</a></li>
            <li><a href="" title="">Why sell fast?</a></li>
            <li><a href="" title="">Benefits</a></li>
            <li><a href="" title="">Where we buy</a></li>
            <li><a href="" title="">Sell my property</a></li>
            <li><a href="" title="">FAQs</a></li>
        </ul>
    </div>

Code: Select all

#footer{
    width: 757px;
    height: 30px;
    float: left;
    margin-top: 7px; 
    background-image: url(images/footer.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

ul.footerlinks {
    margin:0;
    padding: 0px;
    list-style: none;
    display: block;
}

ul.footerlinks li {
    float: left;
    color: #000000;
    padding: 8px 0px 6px 6px;
}

Is it because the text is black and also the background is black?!

No.. lol, the background is white.

That code isn't very helpful for us since we dont have `footer.gif`.

Hmmm ... yeah ... a link would be great.

Have you tried maybe adding #footer ul.footerlinks ?

Footer is just a .GIF/Div.

The color of your links are white ... that's white it's not showing.

I suggest doing something like

Code: Select all

.footerlinks a:link, .footerlinks a:visited, 
.footerlinks a:hover, 
.footerlinks a:active {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #000;
}
