CssClass problem

[Shane Story]

I made a style sheet with the following class:

..ErrText {
color:#FF0000;
font-family:Verdana,Tahoma,Arial;
font-size:9pt;
}

I linked it to my ASPX doc, then in the CssClass property for a label
control, then a Text control, I put .ErrText

This really seems to have little affect on it in IE or Firefox.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Shane

CssClass="ErrText"

don't include the .

Leave the '.' out when you refer to the class in the document. The '.' is
part of the StyleSheet syntax, not the class reference in the document.

Actually I am pretty sure I don't have the "." in that property.
I will have to check that tonight--I am not in front of the code at this
moment.

The only thing different I have done is added a browserCaps section to
web.config that I got from the Internet to better suppport FireFox. Is
seems to have css1 and 2 turned on there.

Thanks

Maybe it is because I started out by manually specifying values and later
put in the class. I went over each property to delete them, but maybe that
didn't take.

Doing this from scratch on a new page without ever setting properties
otherwise, seems to work. I will try that theory tonight.

Thanks Kevin,

I double checked and the "." was the problem. What a bugger that was to
debug.

What a bugger that was to debug.

No doubt, Shane. Those tiny syntax errors are easy to overlook, especially
when they don't affect the way the app runs.
