Purely for aesthetic purposes I'm trying to change the result of #txbattery channel=1 from lowercase to uppercase. From ok to OK.
I have added the following to weatherstyple.ccs
.uppercase {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
and the following to my index page <td class="uppercase"><#txbattery channel=1> </td>
the result doesn't change.
Using Davis Vantage VUE, Cumulus v1.9.9 (1099), Windows 7
Suggestions please.
Thanks
Dennis

Re: Request help with formatting
It works for me on the <td>, but you could try <span> or <p>
Code: Select all
<td><span class="uppercase"><#txbattery channel=1></span></td>

Re: Request help with formatting
Your HTML structure is broken, which could well be why your style isn't applying. That <td> element isn't actually in a table.

Thanks for the replies. The way I managed to get it to work was by using John's suggestion.

Re: Request help with formatting
Dennis, did you look at the link Steve provided. Your markup has some serious issues that need addressing...

Hi Mark & Steve
Yes I did take a look, I do plan to go through issues. First glance some didn't seem to make sense to me. I shall dig deeper!
Thanks both

Re: Request help with formatting
Even if you 'View Page Source" in Firefox, the most obvious misplaced tags etc. are highlighted in the html. You can go from there.

Many thanks for your help, it really is most appreciated.
I have managed to reduce the Nu Html Checker's error report down to 9 all suggesting to use CSS instead.
I have an issue with the colspan value. I reduced it from 7 to 4. Now the colour of the menu changes from yellowish to red as the screen is completed.
In the longer term I guess I should try and change to HTML5.

Re: Request help with formatting
Well you are specifying the page as HTML5 and therefore using the "nu" validator.
You have two options, add more things to your CCS, or use 'inline CSS' as a work around.
inline CSS involves changing the table /row / data / formatting etc to a different format.
e.g. this is in one of my HTML5 pages;
where there is a mix of CSS and inline CSS
OK, so this is not ideal but it is perfectly acceptable and validates. Helpful when converting html1.0 pages to HTML5

<col style="width:30%;"/>
<col style="width:10%;"/>
<col style="width:6%;"/>
<col style="width:50%;"/>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" class="table-top" style="text-align: center">Temperature and Humidity </td>
</tr>
<tr class="column-light">
<td class="main_table_text_labels">Highest Temperature</td>
<td style="text-align:right;"><span id="TempH"><?php echo $tempH ?></span></td><td><?php echo $tempunit ?></td>
<td class="right_align_indented"><span id="TempHT"><?php echo $TtempH ?></span></td>
</tr>
