    Default Changing font and color of links in side boxes?

    I would like to change the font and color of some of the links in the categories side box and the information side box. In the sub-categories the links are a bright red and I would like to change the color to black. And I would like to change the font type in both the categories and information side box to comic sans. I believe the font is more fitting for a Comic Book Store. The site I am referencing is http://www.comicmegastore.com


    Before I go I just wanted to thank the members of this forum for the help I have received in the past! With the help of some coding tips received here, our comic store has come a long way since we opened it last year. We know some coding but not nearly enough to have made the changes that have been made so far. Thanks!

    Use CHRIS PEDERICK'S web developer add-on for Firefox Browser and use the tools to help you find the embedded div styles in the source code.

    Then, you can use the css edit tool to see what happens when you edit a style declaration. This is all happening offline, so when you are happy with your tweaks to the css, you can copy and paste them to your server stylesheet.

    I was having trouble downloading the software. Is there another way?

    The latest version of Windoze Explorer has a "Developers" feature, which is a very poor attempt at mimicking the FireFox add-on, but it does show the div ID's and Classes for the elements in a displayed page.

    Open MSIE Ver 8, and then press F12.

    This brings up the tools frame. Click CSS, then VIEW (Class and ID information). Then do off-line edits to the css...
