CSS - sometimes works, sometimes not... why?

Hi all,

I'm no CSS expert but I've never had much trouble with them in IE before! This has really got me stuck.

The classes are defined in a seperate sheet, like so:

-- style.css --

a.cathead {
font-family : Arial, Helvetica;
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : none;
FONT-SIZE : 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}

a.cathead:hover {
font-family : Arial, Helvetica;
color : #FF9900;
text-decoration : none;
FONT-SIZE : 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}

a.cathead:visited {
font-family : Arial, Helvetica;
color : #FFFFFF;
text-decoration : none;
FONT-SIZE : 12px;
font-weight: bold;
}

-- end style.css --

and are called in index.php



anyway, there are 25 records being printed out, into a 3-cell-wide table, so it goes records 1-3, new row, records 4-6, new row etc.

What is supposed to happen is that the category heading prints out as white 12pt bold, and when a mouseover occurs, the white heading changes to orange. This works SOMETIMES. Records 3,4,6,7 work correctly, as do 8,9 and 12... the ones that don't work just stay white.

The weird thing is that I know every repitition of that loop is going to print out exactly the same, with the class called the same way, spelt the same way etc.

So why does it sometimes work and sometimes not? And why do the links that don't mouseover still pick up that they should be white, 12pt bold etc, which is not the default, and yet not process the hover?

Any ideas? (*help, deadline!*)

sometimes happens to me, but refresh seems to fix it here

Donno why it happens tho?...

Try putting "FONT-SIZE" as lower case and change the "px" (px = pixel) to "pt" (pt = point), i.e: "font-size: 12pt;" ...

If I remember correctly CSS is case sensative.

Give the following PHP code a shot... I replaced the single quotes with double quotes, because some browsers don't like single quotes in HTML.. don't remove the "\" in front of the double quotes.

Thanks for your suggestions... unfortunately no joy, but thank you anyway. Guess it's back to the drawing board!

Cheers,
