C Panel and Code

[dovershire]

I am new to this and pretty much lost. I had someone handling this for me, but now have to fix something on my own. I log into the area where I can make changes..such as price, text for products, etc..I want to make changes to the background color of the page where customers fill in their information for ordering...reason is the page is white and so is the text, so can't see what is needed to fill in the boxes to place an order...Can I access code from this back-end area, if so, how?? I went to style sheets, but only see style sheets for the product pages, not for the other pages....thanks, any help appreciated!

Also, my logo is there, but not visible....?

You only have two stylesheets - stylesheet_custom.css controls the whole site. In the case of the create account page, you're looking for:

LEGEND {
font-weight: bold;
padding: 0.3em;
color:#FFF;
}

Change the FFF to 000 or whatever color you want it to be.

The way to edit that (or any other file) is to use your FTP program to download and open it in a text editor.


Install the Firefox browser and the Web Developer plugin for Firefox. You can use those to see where in the stylesheet you change the styling of the various page elements.

Ctrl-Shift-Y will allow you to hover over a section of the page and see the class and id names for that section in the box at the top. The statements in the stylesheet that begin with # are id's and the ones that begin with dots are classes.

Ctrl-Shift-E will open the CSS editor and allow you to edit the stylesheet and see the changes in real time without changing anything permanently. An essential tool that makes stuff like this easy.

Some prefer Firebug, which does much the same thing.
