I have what I believe is a simple issue, but I can't figure it out as I am a novice, at best, with html.
I'm trying to edit a css file created by another individual where they used a ASCII special character that looks kind of like this: >> All I wanted to do was make it bold, but for some reason when I add the font weight it reverses the direction of the arrows. The character does correctly display as bold, but now the arrows are in this direction: << As far as I can tell the code for arrows pointing to the right is 00BB and pointing to the left is 00AB. I don't understand why the font weight alters anything and I did try switching "BB" to "AB" and they point to the left regardless. Their original code: a.viewbutton:before { content: "\00BB "; color: red; } My code: a.viewbutton:before { content: "\00BB "; color: red; font-weight: bold; } |

I don't see that in my browsers. Which one are you using?

Sure it doesn't really say 00AB?

haha, yes. I tried switching it to AB just to see if it would bizarrely reverse it back and it didn't change. Cleared the browser cache a few times, switched it back, etc.
no clue.. and not skilled enough to figure out anything else to try. |

Is it possible to link to the page so we can see everything you have there? Because there's something in it that makes this happen.

Cleared the browser cache a few times, switched it back, etc. Sometimes external stylesheets are cached, even though you reload the HTML page. Use an embedded stylesheet, or add a querystring to the external CSS file's URL, like "foo.css?blah". Also make sure you haven't uploaded the new file with a different file name or to a different directory. QUOTE no clue.. and not skilled enough to figure out anything else to try. Have you tried both versions on the same page, at the same time, like this: CODE a.viewbutton1:before { content: "\00BB "; color: red; } a.viewbutton2:before { content: "\00BB "; color: red; font-weight: bold; } ? If so, please link to it! |
