Comments layout

I *think* you can do this by messing with;
ol#comments li p {
font-size: 100%;
}
as that covers the ordered list that comments appear in.
I’ve not figured that out properly though.
I’d recommend opening a comment up, and viewing the source to see the structure and working back from that.

This is odd.
There is no css for ‘comment’
I can add the boxes and see perfect results in my css editor, but not live.

Skippy,
your solution works great. I just couldn’t guess it because my default wp-layout.css doesn’t have the tags you showed in your post, so I didn’t have anything to modify (unless I retroenginered the wp-comments.php of course). I wonder if there’s any complete doc to the wp-layout.css.
Any clue?
Thanks,

I don’t know if it’s sacrilege to change the comment template but I got rid of the list tags and put the comments in their own <div>’s. Eventually, I want to add a third div to float in comment area with the post count. To do that I will need to learn a little bit of PHP (initialize the count=1 in the “if” statm then in the “for each” count++….I think?).

Like Alan, I ditched the bullets by giving #olcomments a list-type: none.
Then created a div in my CSS for the comments:

#hisses {
font-size: 13px;
color: #000;
background: gainsboro;
font-weight:normal;
}

In the wp-comments.php template:

<?php if ($comments) { ?>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) { ?>
<div id="hisses">
<id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
<?php comment_text() ?></div>

So each comment has a grey background but the comment author info is white, making each stand out.

Oh, and BTW, I got my idea from reading Venomous Kate’s source code. ??

Tee hee. ??
