hi

i have problem with css
i make changes in it (style.css) but everything is still the same as before. i must have missed something.

could anyone help me?

Are you sure you are editing the correct css file? The correct tempate set?

;)

dunno )

i need to change background, menu text, links colours, borders.

can u help me?
i know its not a indexhibit support issure
hmm.. but maybe it is
the css file is part of it

maybe u should make some instructions for that case (that shouldnt take a lot of time)
that would help u to avoid questions like that and make participants sites look more interesting - looks like many of tham have the same problem ;)
probably hesitate to bother

check your settings in the backend. its tells you what css file (folder) you should chose for editing. within the basic installation it is eatock - so go for ndxz-studio\site\eatock.

ketchUP...we have a search utility on this site...this question has been asked before and it has been answered.

So, if you do a search you will find that instruction do exist for this.

You will find the infohere. I post this for future reference, in case someone ends up in this thread searching for css ;)

yeah i C now, sorry 4 that
ill try

but i was also talking about some more edvanced instructions 4 those who R not familiar with the code editing. and making a section in http://indexhibit.org/use/
for those instructions - that would be really great.

thanx

Editing css is so much bigger than indexhibit. There are already many tutorials on css on the internet, and trying to make one that's relevant is beyond the scope of indexhibit.

However, it'd be great if people can share in this thread some of the resources they use for editing their template.

right
hope some enthusiasts help us

ive already applyed few changes in my css and it worked
stuck on the menu background (


#menu { background-color: #f00; }


That will make it red.

Here you can test how different fonts, colours and sizes are going to look on your website.

We love it!

cool
thanks 4 that typetester link

i made changes in the css that i wanted 4 that moment

BUT damn... thay totaly crashed the site when i opend it with "internet explorer" - menu dissappeared
the "maxthon" did the same thing
ONLY "firefox" did it right
not really shure that i want those changes at all costs

i start feeling myself totally lame

I'm no expert, but css shouldn't make your browser crash. Are you sure all your code is correct, tags closed, proper wording?

You could use acss validatorto make sure things are ok (i don't know how good that one is, have never used it).

In any case, the best way to go about it is to make copies of the sample folder as you go, and play with that. That way, you can always revert to the original changes.

yeah i think so
ive checked css vith that "css validator" and coped the Valid CSS information it gave me into my css - same shit

by the way can U tell me whats the difference between style.css and ie.css? do i need to change 2 of tham or just 1?

ie.css are some extra rules for Internet Explorer. You really should not need to touch that.

It is possible to crash IE...because it's horrible and dumb. Editing your css is the kind of thing you can only learn by doing...it's not hard...but you can wreck the look of your site as well pretty easily.

There isn't a more simple way to do it...

ok

ill try
byt i think i had enough 4 today
o_0

by the way thats what i was trying to costomize
www.newangelarium.ru
a web site 4 an art exhibition

peace

the color changed only onder the menu text
instead of changing the whole background

ketchup, read their css to see how they did it. it's a perfectly good way to learn. we all do it too. ;)

This is the first time I've seen a whole complete site in Russian. Love it!

we love it to. thanx to U fellows.
have U seen the menu color?
the black ractangles over white background
im going crazy 4 real

PLEASE help me
i promise i wont bother any more (for few days)

#menu {
background-color:#000000;
width : 215px;
overflow : auto;
top : 0;
bottom : 0;
left : 0;
position : fixed;
height : 100%;
}

#menu ul {
list-style-type: none;
margin : 0 0 12px 0;
background-color:#000000;
}

thats what i have in the css
ive scanned many other pages which use color or background pictures in the manu - still no clue how to fix my problem

i don't understand what you're trying to do. Is it something likethiswith the green background on links?

could you point to a website that does something similar (even with different colors)?

lol ) it looks like that but no

all i want to du is just paint the whole background black
and thats all!

Are all your pages black?

If that's the case, you can try this:

on the #menu, take out completely the background colour (background-color: #fff;).

ive tryed that

its ok with the firefox
but the other browsers leave the menu background totally white
