I've been tweaking some CSS where I'm changing the style of the anchor tags. That works fine. The thing that is confusing me is why something that is in a completely different div with a different class/ID would be affected by this styling?? (e.g. my little style adds styling to a little div block at the bottom of the page, but for some strange reason it started affecting the Admin nav bar up top) Btw, I'm working on a DotNetNuke skin.
Looking through the Inspect option in Chrome, it's like it's inheriting these styles, even though there should be no link to this style class I created!
I've checked my DIVs and they pair off correctly.
So I'm just wondering what else I can check to try and stop this from happening. I could be missing something very simple/obvious.
Thanks!
EDIT: Um yea obviously I should've included code ;) silly me!
Ok here is the CSS code that is affecting the skin:
#ehcbreadcrumbs {
background-color: #BCBCBC;
color: White;
font-size: 1.1em;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-right: 0px;
padding-bottom: 4px;
padding-left: 10px;
margin-top: 5px;
}
#ehcbreadcrumbs a, a:link {
text-decoration: none;
color: White;
font-size: 1.1em;
}
#bottomnavbar {
padding-top: 4px;
padding-bottom: 4px;
display: table;
}
#bottomnavbar ul {
margin: 0 auto;
}
#bottomnavbar ul li {
display: inline;
}
#bottomnavbar a, a:link {
text-decoration: none;
}
#bottomnav a, a:link {
font-size: 14px;
}
Here is the skin file:

So the style in bottomnavbar/bottomcontent seems to affect some aspects of the DNN Admin bar (ControlPanel). it also affects the logged in user part if I change the font size in bottomnavbar, the font size within the "copyright" block anchhor bits change size too. It's confusing the heck out of me why, as the DIV blocks (to me) look properly paired off.
And yes I'm aware it's not very pretty ;) (skin was originally created by someone else, I've taken over to make changes to it)
