Changing Font Color for Product Description

Stevesh,

Thanks so much. I will tell my wife. She figured that was the wrong thing to do so she tried to correct it and use a different text editor, but then nothing showed up but a white page, so needless to say she is freaking out.

We apprciate the info and will try that tonight.

Here's the contents of my header_html document. I'm pretty sure it's all messed up from using the wrong format to edit it and of course I made the newbie mistake of not backing up the original doc. But I appreciate the lessons I'm learning as well as the wealth of knowledge I'm gaining from this forum. Many thanks!

Hi there

Just noticed that you have to ammend the font colour in admin rather the the css (for the product info). Do you know any way of mass-editing it all to the same colour? Reason being I just overhauled my site and now use a black background instead of white and I have a LOT of info to go through and change 1 by 1 if not.

Thanks

Oh and Hi (1st post)

You do not have to change the font colour of product descriptions in admin. It is possible, but as you point out, it's not wise.

If the regular text colour is not working in that part of your pages, then break out the proper ID or class in your stylesheet and apply a colour there. For example ...

#productDescription { color: #9FAC90 }

Change the colour to suit.

Great, done that now - saved me a LOT of work!

One other question, may as well ask in here rather than start a new thread;

Im finding it hard to change the text colour of in info text in the gift certificate sections, the firefox tool kit addon I usually use doesnt find any css info on it .. and I cant find the info through admin either.

I read somewhere that it is ok to ask different questions in a thread as long as the questions pertain to the topic of the thread, which yours do. I am glad you asked the question, because I have a black background and was going to change the font color in my style sheet then I was told the admin, but was wondering how to do it that way without changing one by one and now I realize it is easier to do it through css. So, thank you for asking.
