Opera 5 Mac, Padding On Boxed Links Not Showing

Really making me crazy, need HELP!

[Joella]

My web site is shaping up nicely, www.the-best-resume.com, but in Opera 5 on the mac my padding on my boxed links is not showing up and the borders are squishing up against the text.

It works as expected in IE 5.1 for mac and Netscape 7.X

Here is the css for the boxed liniks:

a.two:link {
color: #f69;
padding: 3px;
border: 2px solid #f69;
background-color: #cff;
text-decoration: none;
}

a.two:visited {
color: #f69;
padding: 3px;
border: 2px solid #f69;
background-color: #cff;
text-decoration: none;
}

a.two:hover{
padding: 3px;
border: 2px dashed #09f;
background-color: #ffc;
text-decoration: none;
}

a.two:active {
color: #f69;
padding: 3px;
border: 2px solid #f69;
background-color: #cff;
text-decoration: none;
}

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Opera wants the links displayed as block level elements.

Try adding:

display: block;
float: left;

DrDoc...

Tried what you said, no change. The link boxes/buttons display as expected in almost all other browsers. Even in Opera 7 for windows. (Before I used your suggestion, which caused no change in display whatsoever.)

Consisitency is a dream, a faraway dream. Sigh!

Thanks for the idea. I am willing to try anything. Maybe Vodoo?

If Opera 5 for Mac is your only problem, then my advice would to not sweat about it. Based on the type of people who use Opera, I would say the vast majority keep fairly updated (of course, the latest version for mac is only 6...)

In other words, fix it for perfectionist's sake, but don't put too much time into it.

My two cents...

Oh yeah, you might want to remove the personal link (TOS [webmasterworld.com])
