Hello.

I have code in my CSS file that looks like this:

CODE

a[href$='.pdf'] {
    background:transparent url(../img/icons/page_white_acrobat.png) center left no-repeat;
    display:inline-block;
    padding-left:20px;
    line-height:15px; }


It works great. My problem is that I need to have some links not show the image cue. I'm actually a desktop developer, so it's all pretty new to me. Does anyone know how I can use this with *some* PDF links, but not others?

Thanks, Darin. There is certainly a LOT to learn about CSS. Unfortunately for me as a desktop developer, time is a limiting factor. I have to jump in, learn enough in my free time to get by and get the job done, then get back to what pays the bills. However, Pandy was incredibly helpful above and I very much appreciate it.

In your second example there is no link text for the PDF link, nothing to click on. Furthermore you've nested links. You can't do that. The "outer" link also contains a P. Can't do that either. A can't contain block level elements.
