Weirdness with #navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper

[SeánT]

Hi again it's regarding the category headings that are hypertext links which appear below the logo. I don't know what they're called for easy reference. Partly that is my problem because maybe I'm missing something in my searches. More specifically though I set the color of them to white like this.

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	height: 1%;
	width: 100%;
	}

Now though they won't turn any other color. I can change the background-color no problem but it appears something is overriding the instruction for the hypertext. I think this may perhaps have something to do with my having taken the header wrapper outside of the main wrapper but I don't know for certain.

My store is here if anybody has any ideas or educated guesses about what is going on. Cheers.

The links would be

#navMainWrapper a, #navSuppWrapper a, #navCatTabsWrapper a {

You just are not currently giving them any styling.
The base a {} rule will control them unless specifically set otherwise. By taking #headerWrapper outside of #mainWrapper, any style based on #mainWrapper will no longer apply.

Hi Glenn thanks, yes I was thinking that this should have colored them:

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
	color: #2e8309;
	text-decoration: none;
        padding-bottom: 0px;
	}

But unfortunately not. I don't understand why really. I kind of think the links must already picking up styling from somewhere because they change from white to red if you hover over them. I'd love to know where they're getting that instruction from. As I say I actually changed them white by altering the color in the code above. Sure wish I hadn't!

Hooray, woke up with a frsh head and got it sorted! As I said up above not knowing what things are called is really unhelpful. Just in case anybody else runs into the same thing where I needed to be looking was at #navMain ul li a, #navSupp ul li a, #navCatTabs ul li a, and not #navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper.

Hi
Very new to Zen Cart and php etc.
Trying to change the font colour and type for the nav_Main_Wrapper.
Just cannot locate where it is controlled.
I have used Firebug and edited on the fly to achieve what I want but cannot find the correct file to do this.
Can Firebug tell me which file I am editing when I actually edit a line?
Thanks.

If you use the Firebug "inspect element" where you see the divs etc in the main subwindow and the CSS that controls the selected element in the side subwindow, that will mention the file and line number where the CSS rule exists. It may not look exactly like this in the CSS file, but the selectors will be the same.
#nameWrapper and its dependents are in stylesheet_new.css.

You have a byte order marker ("BOM") at the top of that file (shown in red below)

/**

This can be added by incorrectly editing a file or using the wrong kind of editor. You need to get rid of it.
