Problems with CSS Default

Submitted by syl79 on Wed, 2009-05-20 09:33 in

Hi David,

I am trying to make changes in the CSS default file (link color, background color, etc..)but it doesn't seem to be working. However when I add the CSS styles in the HTML files it works.
I haven't upload the site or add any products yet. I am basicaly just playing around and testing in my local host.
Could this be the problem?

Great thanks

Silvia

Hi Silvia,

As long as you're viewing the site affected directly by the CSS you are editing it should work fine; but you may need to do a CTRL-F5 refresh to force the browser to reload the CSS otherwise it may be using the old version from the cache - which is probably what's happening...

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,

If I add the following code in the header. php after the background color changes from white to lime.

BODY { background-color: lime; }

However if I add the following code in the default.css the background color is still white
body {
background-color: lime;
font-family: tahoma,helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: #333;
margin: 8px;
}

It looks like something is wrong with the default.css file. Probably is something really stupid but I am really struggling with this.

Hi Silvia,

I just tried the same code on my test server and it worked ok without having to add anything to the header; so perhaps there might be another section in your default.css lower down that is overriding the color change at the earlier point?

Another possibility is that the browser is still using a cached version of default.css even after you make your edit - this sometimes gets in the way of testing css changes! To overcome this you can use CTRL+F5 to refresh and reload all resources from source...

If you're still not sure; if you could email me your default.css i'll take a look for you!

Cheers,
David.
