Bold/Unbold (bold when new content, unbold when not new)

NSG · 08-28-2009, 09:59 AM

On my website, I recently began doing mod rewrites and the links no longer correctly go bold and unbold. I am unsure why, and if anyone could offer some advice it'd be greatly appreciated:

If you click a thread, it unbolds it, but if a new post is made the thread never goes back to being bold. Please help, thank you!

On my PC the unbolding is caused by the browsing history. If you clear the browsing history, the link will revert. I don't know what you can do about it unless you can set the browser not to save in browsing history, but that would only work on your PC, not necessarily on the remote one.

Also you have a lot of code before the Doctype. The Doctype should be the FIRST line of your code. The <style> </style>code should be in the <head></head> part of the page.

The CSS contains

Code:

a.SubjectLink {/*ign.php (line 151)*/
......
font-weight:bold;
....
}
a.SubjectLink:visited {/*ign.php (line 169)*/
......
font-weight:normal;
....
}

I still do not know of a fix. Same behavior is still happening. Help? It didn't start happening until I began doing the mod_rewrites.

Also put doctype at the top, thanks for the tip.

I use stylesheets so the psuedo url would be too much I think as I'd have to edit multiple stylesheets. I've been trying to fix it all day, but nothing is working.

Your doctype should not be surrounded by comment tags because the browsers can't read it. remove the .

I tried to run your page through the validator and it wouldn't work saying you had errors preventing it.

Tip: put all your css into an external file so you will only have one to chnage instead of many.
