Question

Basically, I am building a horizontal navigation bar. I have following markup:

<ui:style src="../common.css" type="client.resources.HomeResources.Style">
    @external gwt-Anchor;
    .gwt-Anchor {
        text-decoration: none;
    }
</ui:style>
<g:HTMLPanel styleName="navbar">
    <ul>
        <li><g:Anchor ></g:Anchor> |</li>
        <li><g:Anchor ></g:Anchor> |</li>
        <li><g:Anchor ></g:Anchor> |</li>
        <li><g:Anchor ></g:Anchor> |</li>
        <li><g:Anchor ></g:Anchor> |</li>
        <li><g:Anchor ></g:Anchor> |</li>
        <li><g:Anchor ></g:Anchor></li>
    </ul>

common.css has following rules:

ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: left;
    font-weight: bold;
    line-height: 25px;
}

ul li {
    display: inline;
    text-align: right;
}

ul li a {
    color: #0077C0;
    font-size: 12px;
    margin-right: 15px;
    padding: 4px 0 4px 5px;
    text-decoration: none;
}

ul li a:HOVER {
    color: #F0721C;
}

When using rules as defined above, everything works perfect. The problem is that I have ul elements in other parts of page, so I’ve added div.navbar before each rule like this:

div.navbar ul{}
div.navbar ul li{}
etc...

But those rules are not applied to ul elements inside UI Binder template. What’s wrong with my code?

Here is the generated HTML (normally on one line):

<div class="navbar"><ul>
   <li><a class="gwt-Anchor">Item 1</a> |</li>
   <li><a class="gwt-Anchor">Item 2</a> |</li>
   <li><a class="gwt-Anchor">Item 3</a></li>
</ul></div>

RESOLVED

styleName="navbar" must be styleName="{style.navbar}"

Answer 1

I only ask because you didn’t include this in your example code: have you double checked there is a <div class="navbar"> that wraps the ul?

Also, if <g:HTMLPanel styleName="navbar"> is generating the div, it is not closed in the code your provided. Maybe you need a </g:HTMLPanel?
