Style Sheet Question

[Charlie Denver]

I have a Template Overide in place, and I removed all the sideboxes.
I added the Category sidebox on the left and set the colours up with the fonts etc, It was just right. Then I added information sidebox on the right and set the colours and fonts, and this was just right. Then I added currency under information on the right and it inherited the colours and fonts, so I was really happy. Well Pleased. Then I added Manufacturer sidebox under category on the left, and although the colours are correct, the font is slightly bigger, and the header bar is also slightly bigger. I searched high and low in the stylesheet and I can't for the like of me work out why this is. Can anybody help?
Also I have a massive question on something else but I'm new to this so I better wait a bit.

These questions are very difficult to answer without seeing the site. However in this case I suspect that adding the following to your stylesheet will have the desired effect

#manufacturersHeading label {font-size: 1em}

Thankyou, That worked a treat.
I also learnt something very interesting.
I wonder could I take the liberty of asking you a further question.
I have recently purchased some software called Dreamweaver CS3, (by the way, I'm no spring chicken I worked in dBase many years ago), Now the thing is I also bought a book called Sams Teach Yourself Dreamweaver CS3 in 24 hours, well it took me about 240 hours. but it was well worth it. My point is that I went through all the examples with HTML and CSS. Then ofcourse I needed to build a web site for my other half, bless her cotton socks. Well (by the way I will tell you where it is when I feel a little better about it) I was led to Zen Cart, which is PSP, So I have a Hosting and all is well, However, I am editing the live site and the biggest pain is I can't see what I am doing unless I update the remote server and bring up my web page. All this is very different to the HTML where I could see everthing interactively. The question is If I go through all the hassle of installing PHP, Apache MySQL etc etc will dreamweaver give me the same facility for editing PHP, I mean will I see the changes in the design window as I make them like with HTML. BECAUSE I feel like I'm in he dark. For Example How would I have got to #manufacturersHeading label {font-size: 1em}, How do you get to this, What do you think?

I use Dreamweaver myself for most of my Zen Cart work, but not in Design View.

Basically HTML is static and easy for Dreamweaver to interpret in its Design View window. Zen Cart uses PHP scripts to generate HTML (or more strictly XHTML). Dreamweaver can't interpret this as it doesn't have a PHP engine to drive the scripts, so in Design View it just shows you yellow boxes where the PHP scripts are located (it works the same way with the other scripting languages that it supports).

So to see your site you need a PHP scripting engine. Your remote server will has one, to enable XHTML to be generated and sent to your browser. A very common way of working is to have two windows open, A Dreamweaver Code View window and a browser window, with Dreamweaver set up so that clicking the upload button does an auto save. So you click upload and then refresh in your browser to see instantly the impact of your changes.

That browser is usually Firefox. Firefox has some very neat extensions for helping developers. The web developer toolbar has long been popular, but for me is superceded by the Firebug extension (though I use both). Amongst other things, Firebug allows you to click on an object in your browser and see what XHTML generates it and what CSS styles are attached to it. You can even experiment with editing them there to see what effect the changes will have, before returning to your Dreamweaver window to commit the ones that work for you.

Excellent, That is good news. I will get onto this immediately.
Thankyou for you help
