friggin style sheet

[mcsilvio]

hi all,

is there no way to quickly and properly identify which classes in the style sheet affect what?

zen carts great and im not complaining, but this part of the customization process feels unnecessarily tedious. sometimes futile.

ive been searching and trying many things all day and there are about 3 classes which i just can not find.

the categories sidebox, the active link is bolded. id like to disable that. cant see how.

the text that says "main page sample text". id like to change the colour of that. easier said than done.

i cant believe that the ZC community fields every one of these types of questions every day! so maybe im missing something.

is there a way to quickly identify which classes in the style sheet affect what?

sincere thanks,
Marco.

Break down and get a few tools to help you ...

FireFox Browser ...

Plug-Ins:
Web Developer's Tool Kit ...

There are a few others ... but these would surely save you a lot of time ...

Perhaps someone has the thread handy with all the nice links to these wonderful plugins ...

And when in doubt ... View Source is a very handy built in tool to your browser to see just what is happening where ...

body {
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #000000;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
      background-image:url(../images/bg3.gif);
	}

a img {border: none; }

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
	color: #000080;
	text-decoration: none;
	}
 
a:visited {
	color: #000080;
	text-decoration: none;
	}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
	color: #808080;
	}

a:active {
	color: #000080;
	}


That's the active link (But don't quote me on it)

To change the text on the main pages simply follow the implicit instructions
"This section of text is from the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin"

Go to your admin panel > Tools > Define Pages. Then Select main page and you can edit your text there. You should be able to force it to use whatever colour you want by giving the #ref

ajeh and blue thanks for the help.

ajeh, i have both of those tools. but some of the "paths" that the webdeveloper extension shows are too long and dont fit in the status bar of the browser below. so i cant really tell which class its trying to show me. nobodys fault.

blue

i dont think thats the right code. the active link becomes bold. not changes color. ive been at this literally for 10 hours.

Do you have a link to your site?

And what template are you using, is it a custom one you made or a standard one?
