== Issue with Tnavbar-header template ==

Can somebody take a look as [[Template_talk:Tnavbar-header#fontcolor_necessary.3F|this issue]] and see if they can figure out what is wrong? The fontcolor parameter is applying itself correctly to the vde, but not the title and its negatively affecting many templates, such as {{tl|University of Oklahoma}}. Its protected, so if you see the problem but can't edit the template, let me know. Thanks.↔[[User:Nmajdan|<span style="font:bold 11px Verdana,sans-serif;">NMajdan</span>]]&bull;[[User talk:Nmajdan|<span style="font:9px Verdana,sans-serif; color:#000;">talk</span>]] 20:28, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

:The problem is that the title is linked using <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki>, which itself overrides any font color specified outside the <nowiki>[[ ]]</nowiki>. There is no easy fix for this, but you could try this as an (ugly) workaround in the University of Oklahoma template:
 <nowiki>title=[[University of Oklahoma|<span style="color:#fff">University of Oklahoma</span>]]</nowiki>

::Thanks for the info. I was thinking that was the issue looking at the generated HTML. Unfortunately, that solution won't work for me. The {{tl|University of Oklahoma}} template is actually generated from another template I made called {{tl|Navigation with collapsible groups}}. I guess I'll just drop the vde until I find a better solution.

:::On the other hand, wrapping the entire link inside a font tag also seems to work... <span style="font-family: verdana;"> — [[User:Edokter|<span style="color: #008;">'''''E''dokter'''</span>]] • [[User_talk:Edokter|<span style="color: #080;">Talk</span>]] • </span> 17:23, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
