Changing Comment Template

[persianpix]

humn... it doesn't appear to do anything.

in my css when i change font-style from none to let's say italic, the changes take effect. but in the same code when i change the color code, it makes no difference. here is my logic... since some of the css code works with that parameter, i'm thinking that the issue must be the precedence order. since i'm using an external css, the in-line and document css could have higher precedence. i'm not really using any inline css. as i am looking at some other html taggs that are in the document, there is only the <div> tag that is there and i don't belive that, that tag anything to do with it!

hmmm.

span.comment-name {
or even .comment-name {

should have worked. I'd make sure the rest of your CSS is valid and not messing with anything else.

Also, change your DIV to a class and not an ID

<div id=\"comment-line\">

The above should be a class.

ID's are only used for single elements and that div will be re-created for every comment. Having the same ID for multiple divs will give you errors when trying to validate your code.

alright, i will the make the changes

in the mean time, please take a look at my site in here http://www.persianpix.com/photoblog. it's not official yet. if you click on the comment's link you will see the issue. i'm trying to change the color of the the person that leaves a comment but it remains as it is!

thanks for all your help and speedy replies.
p.s. if the above link didn't work, please enter it in your url a couple of times. it will work.

i sent you a PM. you can try it but i'm not so sure now that i think about it due to the other properties having the same value and still functioning correctly.

For those that are interested, and for archival purposes, the problem was in the template source itself and not in the CSS.

The template source was reading two CSS files both marked with the same "title" tag. One was the default CSS file and the other was the CSS that handled the comment styles. Anyway, for those of you who are familiar with CSS, you know you can not do this. persianpix caught onto this and removed the title tag for the comment styles from his source code and all is well.
