Adsense and CSS

how do I avoid css affecting adsense?

[wariental]

I picked my color schemes for google adsense and now all my text in it inlcuding the link text is just plain black.

How do I stop this from happening and is this against adsense rules?

Try going through the process and generating the code again.

Something's gone wrong in that process. This is not a CSS issue.

Don't manually try and edit the code - use the online tool.

I'll mention that I just got adsense.

Also , I have copy and pasted the code exactly(twice).
Iam using the half banner 234x60 within a <td> tag.

Is it just take a bit to update?

Is it just take a bit to update?

It shouldn't, the color information is defined in the Adsense code that you paste in:

google_color_border = "336699";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_url = "008000";
google_color_text = "000000";

Besides doing what TJ suggested and going back through the setup steps -- yep, again ;) -- you might want to check the surrounding html or any other scripts on the page. Maybe something like an unclosed or wrongly located tag is making the Adsense code choke.

I could be wrong, but this sounds like an HTML/CSS problem. Not the Adsense CSS, but your local CSS.

Since your browser's default link color is probably blue, check sure your local CSS color schemes for black-colored links. (If you have them)

Maybe the problem is somewhere in your <td>, <tr>, or <table> statements.

I have this exact same issue with my forum script.

no matter what colors i choose in the Adsense setup, the link text is always black..

Its possible that it is a caching problem - try viewing the page in a different browser? - but it could be a css 'problem'. Do you understand the cascade properly?
I would try viewing it in Firefox and open the DOM Inspector (under Tools). Very powerful tool for debugging CSS.
