Inline link color change? (Wikipedia Portals) - MediaWiki-l

23 Apr 2006


      Ok, I am trying to duplicate the Portal usage as seen on Wikipedia. I
have successfully created the templates needed, and altered them for my
site. I am having a few minor problems.
1. When using Firefox, the heading colors change with the template as
they should. The header text remains black under IE.
2. I cannot change the 'edit' link color. It appears they are using a
<span> with an inline font color change, but it is not working on my
site for the links, only the text.

The layout code looks like this:
<!-- BEGIN -->

<!-- THIS IS TO SEPARATE SECTIONS -->

<!-- BEGIN THE TITLE BLOCK -->
