Journal pythorlh's Journal: Question about CSS 1

Can someone tell me if this is a /. bug, or a browser bug, or just the way CSS works?

I occasionaly use the features of my browser to override the colors on web pages. In IE, this is under Accessibility, and Firefox has the option somewhere (I'm at work, can't check.). When I do this, the Slashdot logo in the upper right of the page disappears. On IE, it is completely gone, as if it never existed. In Firefox, there is still an area of the page that is linked, as if the image were there, but the image itself is gone.

I thought about putting in a slashcode bug report, but I really don't know if it's a bug or not.

As to why I do that, I have problems with migraines. One of the things I do to keep working when I have a migraine is to change my color scheme to mostly black. Lower light levels help, but most web pages specify colors in a way that makes it necessary for the browser specifically to override the colors.

  • The logo is implemented as a background image replacing a linkified text header. This results in a nicer downgrade for deaf people, etc. However, when you override text colours, you are also likely overriding background colours, which tends to remove background images such as the Slashdot logo.
