Hello all

I am creating a bar to apear on all of my websites, same bar with all of my other websites' links on it. Here is the rough html i have so far.

Code:

<div style="background-color:#0099FF">
<font color="white"><b> 
Company Name | <a href="http://www.website.com">website name</a> | <a href="http://www.website.com">websitename</a> |
</b></font>
</div>

Heres my small issue. I am placing this html immediately after the <body> tag. What can i implement so that the contents of the <div> do not take on the font, hyperlink ect's style as set out in the <body> tag of the original page.

Basically i want the div bar at the top of all my sites to be the same, regardless of the styles of the website its being placed on.

Keep in mind that i am not using css for any of the sites

I was thinking an iFrame for the bar but thats a no no for google ect.

I hope anyone reading can understand what im trying to say, im horrible at describing things.

thanks

You say you're not using styles but then quote "<div style="background-color:#0099FF">", so you are using some css. A seperate formatted div using styles is very easy, you just assign it as a class or an id and it won't inherit the body styles, also as you want to use it on all your seperate sites to link to each other, styles are what you need.

Sorry if that's no help, I'm out of practise on straight HTML so can't remember if the menu bare would inherit the body styles, probably not if you stick it in a seperate table.

Wrap your text within a paragraph tag and add the specific style attributes you want for your bar to the opening p tag. These will overide the associated style sheet for the page and make your bar uniformed across the various sites.
