    Default NewB - How do I change the color of the Sales Message ?

    I have been trying to find the help on my own by searching through the forum(s) using various forms of keywords, BUT, I receive a multitude of thread links that take me off in a hundred directions, when I simply need some basic information. I do enjoy following Contrib threads to get 'The Total Picture' of the cause and solutions relating to it, but sometimes you just need.. a simple answer ?

    Part two. Does the Zen Book give all of the details, like my question above ? The hours that I have spent trying to find the answer on my own would have paid for the book, at this point. Or, should I just sign up for some simple PHP programming to get THOSE basics out of the way ?

    Thanks to everyone for their contributions and their hard work. I hope to be able to make a contrib to the project soon.

    Always do your design in a standards compliant browser and for now that is Firefox also get the web developers extention for it.

    It will assist you in defining what things are

    Color - find in your stylesheet.css file "tagline" and add a color statement to it

    Thank you Kobra for your reply. I did find the statement in the style sheet and made the change I wanted.. but, it appears that the Sales Message only wants to be a single line ?

    My intent was to have all of the text in the following statement to be a dark green color:#006600; but, with my statement looking like this;

    define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'Welcome To The New..<br><h1>Better Than Naked dot Net</h1>');

    It only colors the top half, like <h1> blocks the attributes ? When I remove the <h1></h1> attributes, I get the line wrap, but still only in it's silver grey text ? If I remove the carriage return <br> in the statement, I get my wanted color back, but only in a single font size, on a straight line ?

    Please assist.

    Add the h1 to the CSS declaration, e.g tagline h1 {} You can then style it.

    Hello Kim and thank your for responding. I am not able to guess your implication of where and how to put the H1{} factor into play ? I did find within the CSS, a command called "font-weight: bold;", which has at least, thickened up the text. Suggestions where I can find the 'trick' features for coding all ? I have had some extensive HTML workings, which has allowed me to do some features, but PHP and of course, CSS are different in a lot of ways. I am liking the stylesheets more and more.

    I do have Crimson Editor, and FireFox, w/o add-ons, but maybe I should look at that some more ?

    Thanks again.

    http://www.w3schools.com/ has lots of good info on css which will probably answer some of your questions.

    Thank you for responding 'Afo'... Yes, I can see that I will find a lot of useable things out of the website, just no quick answers like we always hope for
