    Default couple of minor things before going LIVE!

    HI all

    First of all, without the help of others on this forum I wouldnt have gotten anywhere, so THANKS to everyone who contributed.

    I have a couple of minor changes I would like to make before going live:

    1) A comment from a 'test' user said that the TEXT SIZE under each product catagory is a bit small and needs enlarging slightly i.e when you click on a catagory from the sidebox you will get a number if images with text underneath, its this text that needs to be a bit bigger

    (i have looked through the Stylesheet for this setting but cannot find anything that relates to it)

    2) When a customer is actually buying a product (i think it starts at the checkout process) some of the text headings are BLUE. I would like to make them green but again cannot find anything relating to this in the stylesheet

    Your help is appreciated as always!

    Thanks

    1) I'm not entirely sure whether this is the text you mean, but the words under the category images look a bit small, but can be adjusted via
    #categoryIcon {font-size:150%}
    2) Went to your site, created a test account went into checkout, but couldn't see the problem .

    Ahh. The headings are green in Firefox, which is what I used, but blue in Internet Explorer. Interesting. I'll take a closer look.

    Oh bugger. It's quite boring really.

    The text that's causing you grief is enclosed within <legend> tags. There's two bits of CSS styling in you stylesheet relating to these, but neither sets their colour. As a result browsers default to whatever they want. In IE's case that appears to be blue (no I don't know why either) whereas Firefox more sensibly applies inheritance rules and so uses the default color that you have set higher up the hierarchy.

    To solve this simply find
    LEGEND {
    font-weight: bold;
    padding: 0.3em;
    }
    and add
    color: #006633;

    kuroi, you are a star!!

    thanks so much

    p.s. I did try to change the size of the text using the #catagoryIcon code you supplied but no good - it didnt work


    (if you goto www.greatbaits.co.uk and click on CARP FISHING, it will then display some catagories starting with ACCESSORIES (its actually the TEXT UNDERNEATH the image saying Accessories)

    I only want to change it a little bigger!

    Thanks in advance!
