Sorry for the late reply to this point, I didn't see pour comment until now but I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't joking. The debate's not over, but that link was from a respected web dude who works for the BBC and there's more agreeing opinions here:

Trackback is Dead by Jeremy Zawodny

The comments on all these blogs cover both sides of the argument (including, I think, the guy who invented Trackbacks) but I just wanted to be clear that I wasn't joking and it's not just one random grumpy blogger who think this may be the case.

Try this:

.headermenu a { color: #fff; }

This effectively means "any a tags inside a tag with the class of headermenu" which is the class that surrounds that text in the header. Similar contextual selectors can be used for links in most other areas.

Note that it's usually a good idea to give some indication of what is clickable link and what is just text, even if it's only a slight change in color or boldness.

Try searching for a term on the site that's not highlighting as you expect, then View Source. If you can find these tags around the search term:

<span class="highlight">highlighted</span>

then that part is working as expected, but your theme isn't changing the color or otherwise changing the styling of the .highlight class.

(If that's not the case operating system and Moodle version info for the two systems may help track down the issue)

For Kubrick I just used the old fashioned (pre 1.5 method) in header.html:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="<?php echo $theme ?>/print.css" />

I'm unaware of any other method that works with the Moodle styles.php system.

It's probably worth noting that 'handheld' stylesheets seem to be widely ignored. Handheld browsers seem to prefer using clever software to reformat 'normal' websites rather than accept specific handheld styles, and websites seem to prefer providing an entirely seperate webpage with substantially different content.

On the other hand 'printer' styles seem quite a good idea, and 'alternate' style sheets are useful for providing accessible, zoom and lightweight styles via user preferences so this kind of thing is quite important.

That is quite strange, nothing obvious occurs to me that could cause that. Maybe if you post the entire header.html file as an attachment and point us to your website to see the output we could figure it out.
