Could enyone help a CSS beginner ;o)

Hi out there

I have made a template whit Artisteer an the site are running.

I have 2 problems.

I cant figure out how to change the background colour in the editor.. It takes the background colour from the site and I cant se what I am writing.

I have found a tread that describes the solution:

http://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&mid=34&ItemID=4&thread=1496&postid=9498

As I am a total beginner in this game, I am not abel to find the plases to replase the body/pagebody tags. I know it is a lot to ask, but could ennyone whrite it so my mom could handle it ?

And the other problem is as follow: In the Artesteer aplication the left and right colum "hedlines" are in white, but when I publis it, it becomes black (on a dark gray background)..

Where can I fix this problem.

If Joe read this. I WILL by you that beer smiley

Thangs a ton

I'm not using Artisteer, but the problem with the headlines is here:

 

.leftside h2.moduletitle, .rightside h2.moduletitle (ligne 1)

{

font-style: normal;

font-weight: 700;

font-size: 14px;

margin-top: 0pt;

margin-right: 0pt;

margin-bottom: 0pt;

margin-left: 0pt;

color: #000000;

}

The color should be #fff

Hi,

The first problem with the editor colors is described with a solution in step 7 on this page:

http://www.mojoportal.com/creating-skins-from-artisteer-html-templates.aspx

I agree with jmunger on the second one, I think you need to look for that in the style-artisteer-overrides.css and change the color as needed.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Could enyone help a CSS beginner ;o)

You got it backwards. you need to put that part that makes it white with black into the body{}

What you need to do then is harvest the color and background settings from body{} in the style.css file and put it in the styleartisteer-overrides.css in the

body.pagebody{}

Hope it helps,

Joe

You are missing a semi colon after color: black;

Hi Henrik,

Thomas is right about the semi colon. But also it looks like you need to un-comment it, remove the /* and */ that surround body{} and body.pagebody{}

Thanks for the donation! Much appreciated.

Best,

Joe

Re: Could enyone help a CSS beginner ;o)

Hi Henrik,

You should not modify the style.css, overrides in other files will do what is needed.

Are you positive that the settings are not commented out?

This is commented out:

/*
body
{

}
body.pagebody
{

}
*/

everything between the /* and */ is ignored, you must remove that to make it work so it would be like this:


body
{

}
body.pagebody
{

}
 

Are you sure it is not a caching issue with the old css being cached on the server and in the browser as discussed in the 3rd paragraph on this page?
