color of background

yea i been working on that </div> on my tpl_header.php page but i am not even sure if that is where it is??? could be on my tpl_main_page.php i am looking there now, i am trying to find where it is.

well i got it to where it does not get too weird now but my header does not get bigger, just the page below but at least it doesn't get all spaced out now. i am still working on it, but it does stretch my banners as i changed them from fixed width to %

I'd bet if you can figure out which one it is and remove it that will solve the problem with removing the width from the body creating layout issues on larger monitors. It would probably also solve the problem with the center adopting the background color you add to the body.

Okay, I can see what you're talking about now, (I'm on a 19" at 1440x900). This is definitely an issue with the mainWrapper. Correct that and the sides will come back in to match the width of the header.

well check it out now http://www.airtightsecurityplus.com/security_equipment as i have taken the 1000px out and it is all ok except the header does not expand but i guess i maybe found the </div> tag

The header is fine, you don't want it to spread out. It's the rest that is still wrong, and the rest is controlled by mainWrapper. This means that you haven't found and removed the </div> that is closing it prematurely.

but now for some reason the prices are different sizes on some of my category pages smaller of some and larger on others???

why do you say the rest is still wrong? aside from the fact that i am getting different sizes on different category pages

After looking through the view source (not exhaustively), I think there is not an extra </div>, but the incorrectly written <font> tags are causing browsers to misread the output. Read post #9 again and follow the advice.

You absolutely do not need the font tags; that is what the lists have CSS classnames for. <font> tags are a relic from the early days of the internet when they were the only way to control text appearance. They are obsolete now.

do you think i need to get rid of the font tags in my products descirptions??

It took a while to find one, but this is built correctly and will not cause problems (aside from <font> and <b> tags being deprecated in HTML):```html

as far as the fonts for my ez-pages footer i see now way to control color or size without the fonts in my tools<ez-pages< edit

so the only fonts left are in product description and ez-page footer

what do you think, am i ok with those or do i need to keep going

The footer <font> tags do not appear to actually render improperly in Firefox (it fixes their errors for display), but they definitely make invalid HTML code the way you have them (without closing </font> tags).

You do not need any font tags in the footer to get the look you want. Proper use of CSS classes and styling will do it all. (But the proper CSS styling will not work on your current invalid HTML output.)

I also notice that some of the links point to strange destinations, caused somehow by your edits:```html
div class="ezpagesFooterCol col1" style="width: 25%">

yea, fixed those links, cant for the life of me figure out how or where to set color or size for those footer links without the font tags

same thing for the nav_bar i took out the font tags and can not get them to change in css so i guess they will remain blue

I really appreciate your time, i used basic, then learned html when it came out, the php and css, well there just a lot to them... i'm learning but it is a slow process.

I completely understand if you want to leave me in the dirt, with no hard feelings on my part

Those link colors are controlled here in your stylesheet:

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
color: #0098c4;
text-decoration: underline;
}

a:visited {
color: #0098C4;
text-decoration: underline;
}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
color: #0098c4;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:active {
color: #0098c4;
}

I have them all set for black (#000000)

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:visited {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: underline;
}
a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:active {
color: #000000;
}

and took the color font out for the headers and none of them are black, they only get black with the hover

ok i guess when i took the color out they reverted to
stylesheet_ezpages_footer_column.css

so that's something...

The elements you need to style are all given here in the HTML source:
div class="ezpagesFooterCol col1" style="width: 25%">
<ul>
<li><a ...>Help

Find the rules in stylesheet_ezpages_footer_columns.css that apply to the links (or add new rules if necessary) and style them.

#navSupp .ezpagesFooterCol a { color: #666564; font-weight: normal;}
#navSupp a.activeEZPage, #navSupp a.activeILPage {font-weight: bold; color: #006622;}
.ezpagesFooterCol a:hover {text-decoration: underline; color: #00aa44;}

To make your top links bigger, add these rules and adjust to taste:

#navSupp .ezpagesFooterCol li a { color: #666564; font-weight: normal; font-size: 1.5em;}
#navSupp .ezpagesFooterCol li+li a { color: #666564; font-weight: normal; font-size: 1em;}

thank you kindly, works just fine

is it possible to add a column header there without a link attached, seems like when i do it makes it's own link
