Okay I need some help. I have 2 problems now. I am able to change evrything on my page except for the middle section, for some reason I am not doing something right. I have Firefox installed, I am using 1.3.0 version but it won't change to the black color just stays origianal white. I modified the original template. My site is www.toys4gals.com if that helps to sort out the problem. My second problem lies with easy populate I think) I have managed to get some of my products online but some will not stick. If you click on a product in Doc Johnson, it looks like it will go a box comes up but then it just goes back to the wording, while others have changed to a picture, suing the same file..............does that make sense or am I rambling??
Thanks for any help.

First, if your template using now is based on classic. Then you should better change to the template which based on the new design of template_default. And you can get some in the template section of download area.

Of which is the section of main page.
In you stylesheet of the stylesheet_new.css,
about line #169:

/*wrappers - page or section containers*/
#mainWrapper {
background-color: #ffffff; /* here is the white color */
text-align: left;
width: 750px;
vertical-align: top;
}

It seems don't have image in there.
Would it be some images not uploaded by yourself?

Thanks "see throu", will check the css, where you have indicated. The images are all uploaded to FTP. I added them into an Excel EP to transfer and some came through and others did not. Can not explain, as they are all in the same FTP File.

After an upgrade, I can't seem to find a change I made once before. www.memories-forever.net/shopping It is the turquoise strip below the boxes on the right hand side. Can someone point me in the right direction? I've tried to compair files from my old .css but I just can't seem to find it. TIA!

In your stylesheet.css, find;

Code:

#navColumnTwo {
	background-color: #00BFBF;
	}

Replace with;

Code:

#navColumnTwo {
	background-color: #FFE6F1;
	}

You're very welcome.

I see that you're using a custom template based upon the default template structure, which is fine. You will find that you can refine a more symmetrical look between the two columns by adding right column selectors to what's defined already for the left. eg;

In your stylesheet, find;

Code:

.leftBoxContainer {
	border: 1px solid #ffffff;
	margin-top: 1.5em;
	}

Replace with;

Code:

.leftBoxContainer, .rightBoxContainer {
	border: 1px solid #ffffff;
	margin-top: 1.5em;
	}

You can compare your current stylesheet to the Classic one, for more ideas. In the raw form, the default template wasn't refined in order to be a template building/learning tool. The possibilities of customizing are endless.
