Description

Hi, this module is great!
However I have one more question: how do you change the appearance or layout?
I added

span.read-more {
color: #000;
background: #e8e8e8;
}

to my style sheet, but unfortunately, nothing happens. (attachment included)
Anyone who knows?
Thank you so much, and tx to the developer for this great module!

Els

PS: I'm using D6.6

This is almost certainly a CSS issue. You will need to be more specific in your CSS -- say, by adding the wrapping div to the span.read-more declaration.

Have you inspected the element using Firebug to see what CSS is styling it?

You may need to clear your browser cache and the D6 CSS cache as well before changes are visible. Be sure your D6 CSS aggregation feature is disabled while doing CSS mods, then re-enable it only after the CSS is to your liking.

I'm almost positive this is a simple CSS error. I'm marking this "won't fix" until I hear more.

i'm able to add a background color and padding, but link color and whatnot won't change for me.

impete82: I am 99% sure this is a CSS problem. Please be sure you understand the concept of CSS "specificity." If you don't already, install Firebug for Firefox to figure out what's styling that element.
