Layout Issue css?

[shanesoine]

I have managed to install the jquery easy slider and get everything working but would like to center it in my center wrapper - just cannot find where I should make the change, It does call on a screen.css but cannot seem understand the exact layout system and would be grateful of some help.

Something like this added to the stylesheet:

.centerColumn {
padding-left:6em;
}

Seeing the site will make it easier to help.

Hi Cobra

Thanks again, the following is in the html_header.php

</script>

<link href="includes/templates/classic/css/screen.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/js/stscode.js"></script>

and then I used admin/define main page to put in my <div>

<div id="slider">
<ul>
<li><img alt="Books make the Best Gifts" src="images/banners/booksmakegifts.jpg" /> </li>
<li><img alt="stripeyfrrog.com" src="images/banners/sfblurb1.jpg" </li>
<li><img alt="Xmas Gifts" src="images/banners/snowman.jpg" /> </li>
<li><img alt="Great Holiday Reads" src="images/banners/beachbanner.jpg" /> </li>

</ul>

</div>

But it calls on the screen.css - which I have placed in includes/templates/classic/css - so I would assume in my ignorance that I should make layout change there? But not quite sure how, below is the screen.css

/* image replacement */
.graphic, #prevBtn, #nextBtn, #slider1prev, #slider1next{
margin:0;
padding:0;
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
text-indent:-8000px;
}
/* // image replacement */


/* Easy Slider */

#slider ul, #slider li,
#slider2 ul, #slider2 li{
margin:0;
padding:0;
list-style:none;
}
#slider2{margin-top:1em;}
#slider li, #slider2 li{
/*
define width and height of list item (slide)
entire slider area will adjust according to the parameters provided here
*/

width:700px;
height:250px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#prevBtn, #nextBtn,
#slider1next, #slider1prev{
display:block;
width:30px;
height:77px;
position:absolute;
left:-30px;
top:71px;
z-index:1000;
}
#nextBtn, #slider1next{
left:700px;
}
#prevBtn a, #nextBtn a,
#slider1next a, #slider1prev a{
display:block;
position:relative;
width:30px;
height:77px;
background:url(includes/templates/classic/images/btn_prev.gif) no-repeat 0 0;
}
#nextBtn a, #slider1next a{
background:url(includes/templates/classic/images/btn_next.gif) no-repeat 0 0;
}

/* numeric controls */

ol#controls{
margin:1em 0;
padding:0;
height:28px;
}
ol#controls li{
margin:0 10px 0 0;
padding:0;
float:left;
list-style:none;
height:28px;
line-height:28px;
}
ol#controls li a{
float:left;
height:28px;
line-height:28px;
border:1px solid #ccc;
background:#DAF3F8;
color:#555;
padding:0 10px;
text-decoration:none;
}
ol#controls li.current a{
background:#5DC9E1;
color:#fff;
}
ol#controls li a:focus, #prevBtn a:focus, #nextBtn a:focus{outline:none;}

/* // Easy Slider */

the following is in the html_header.php

Restore the original as this is not the place for that

it calls on the screen.css - which I have placed in includes/templates/classic/css

Read the readme in the /css folder these will load alpha if in the /css folder and the html header file is not edited

More info - I also made changes in the easy_slider.js to set the scroller to continuous and turn of numeric s but cannot see where I would set screen position. Sorry yet more code:

Add this to the bottom of the relevant stylesheet and adjust to suit

#slider {
        margin-left: 13em;
        }

Thanks for your time - little lost where should I be putting the <head> script. Now I'm really muddled I copied common from templates default and put it in classic and now make all changes here. Do the same with css. Am I on the wrong track completely?
