IE8 CSS selector selects, but does not apply the style.
- by Dan
This is making me want to kill myself.
I have some really simple CSS to style my input objects:
input, button
{
border: 1px solid #c66600;
background-color: white;
color: #7d212f;
font-family: "Eras Light ITC", Tahoma, sans;
}
But I don't like the ugly border it puts around radio buttons, so I use a selector to kill the border:
input[type=radio] { border: none; }
You can probably guess what browsers this works in and which ONE it does not work in. What's funny is when I press F12 to launch the excellent developer tools in IE8 it actually tells me that the style of the radio buttons has been overridden to 'none' just like I asked it to do, but the border remains on the radio button objects.
I have tried a variety of semantic things, like setting the border width to 0px or the color to something insane like lime green, but it remains the originally assigned color that it got from the first style.
And finally, I have tried only styling 'text' objects, in which case no style is applied to anything. Again, the browser claims to fulfill the CSS selection, but it visually does not happen.
Thoughts?
By the way, this is a DotNetNuke installation with generated code where I can't explicitly set the style of the radio buttons.
Thanks,
Dan
