CSS editor to indexhibit

fiercecurry / 2008-05-29 07:18:48   

Hello,

I have been trying my best to figure out how to export what i have modified in my CSS editor back into the indexhibit Settings Pre-Nav Text box, and the code that i copy and pasted from my editor just comes up as the text. Meaning it doesnt do anything, it just gets posted up as a sentence.

the site is
www.liftfield.com

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Ok, why are you using h8? You really should use h1 there...also, both the post and pre-have will automatically deal with p and br tags...but this does not mean that you can't work with them...I'm not exactly clear on what you are doing but give this a try...I'm guessing this will put you on a better direction...

I really need to improve our code posting abilities here...sheesh...sorry folks. I'm going to have to do this in a weird way...here is the example, i hope it makes sense:

---------------------------

div class = 'top-space'

h1 Lift

h2 Design & Direction

div

--------------------

Then, in the style.css you have a ton of room for play with everything...

#menu .top-space { }
#menu .top-space h1 { }
#menu .top-space h2 { }

Hi,

I guess what i am trying to figure out, how the changes I make in an app like CSS Editor, can than be applied to the live web page. How do i transfer the code that is on the CSSeditor app, where it looks how i want it to be, based on the imported live page, and than make it live on the indexhibit built site?

You just have to try...cut and paste.

I say you just give it a shot and show us...tell us what's not going right.

This is how most people learn how to do this stuff...just get dirty and ask for some help where it goes wrong.

This is a place for us to start...first off...

What you pasted was the css....you don't want to place that there...you want to put that in your style.css file...

Take out what you pasted...and paste it into the style.css file via your ftp app or your text editor...

ok, will try, but where can i find the style.css file in the first place?

thanks so far.

It would be in your /ndxz-studio/site/sample/ folder.

COOL!

seems to be working!

A little advice though...the margins on the #menu and #content divs need to be equalled up...you have a gap now that could be problematic...so adjust those.

You will also need to adjust the ie.css file if you play with those margin settings...

The template is a bit of rocket science for that part of things...you do need to be careful and test as you go (especially with IE).

Looks like you are on your way though...
