Using Firebug to make changes.....

[MamaT]

Thank you for the very clear, step by step instructions!

I want to make sure I'm clear though. The changes I'm making, I'm making in the HTML of Firebug. When I then switch to the CSS page, it seems that the changes I've made so not "hold". How then do I get them to stay?

I do have the Web Developer as well, but I was able to catch on to the firebug more easily which is why I've been working with that one. If the web developer would be better I can certainly try that, but the way fairestcape made it sound I could not use either of those....

I'm not familiar with Firebug. Making changes in the html is pretty much useless since Zen Cart is php which builds the html pages on the fly depending on what the user requests.

Would I be able to do this with the web developer? I've been searchnig google for some easy answers on how to use it but so far I'm not having a whole lot of luck.

IF you're looking to make changes to the layout or whatever, the HTML source code is useless. As stated above, the pages generated from php files and the output is in HTML.

So, messing with the HTML will do you no good. What you shoud do is load a copy of Zen cart to your local computer, using xampp or something similar. Find the php or stylesheet files that you want to change/edit, save, and open a browser to see your changes. That way you are not messing with the "live" shop in the web server.
