CSS Update

I’ve made a slight change to the site’s CSS. (If you’re using Internet Explorer, you won;t see it, so check it out in Firefox or on a Mac). Basically, the links in a post or paragraph now only display the underlines when your cursor is over the post/paragraph. This was achieved by adding the following to the CSS:

#lColPortfolio a { text-decoration: none; }
#lColPortfolio *:HOVER a { text-decoration: underline; }

The * means “anything”, so I’m saying that when you hover over something, e.g. a

, all the tags in there will be given an underline. IE only recognises :HOVER when it comes after an tag AFAIK, so that’s why it doesn’t work in IE.
Any comments, queries, bug reports etc. are welcome.

    Hey, I’ve had a look around your site, its very nice I especially like the glossy shine on the sIFR. I’m a web designer/developer from Cork, its good to see someone else from Ireland actually keeping up with modern web design standards. Anyways, I just thought I’d say hi, tSlainte.

    shouldn’t HOVER be lowercase?

    Ah pedantic indeed!

    PS. I’d like to follow your lead and incorporate Wordpress into my site. Just a few issues to sort out then I can expect comments of upper and lower case CSS…
