how do I change the colors of information sideboxes?

how can i change the font color of the links in the <information> and the <more information> sideboxes to white (#ffffff), I have been able to change the background color but not the font. and as long as we are on it i would like to have a hover color and perhaps an active page color as well. I did it with my category box with the categories dressing mod but can't figure out how to do it with my sideboxes

Add this to your stylesheet

#informationContent a {color:#ffffff}
and
#moreinformationContent a {color:#ffffff}

You can add the hover, active etc. to the rule as you wish

Re: how do I change the colors of information sideboxes?

thanks so much, it worked of course...

I tried


.informationContent a: hover;, .moreinformationContent a: hover; {
color:#000000;
text-decoration: none;
}


and


#informationContent a: hover{
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}


and neither of those worked, any ideas on how that would be done?

You should not let space after a: and use the # as they are ids, and not classes, and no ; after the hover

#informationContent a:hover, #moreinformationContent a:hover {
color:#000000;
text-decoration: none;
}

Re: how do I change the colors of information sideboxes?

I have a question, is it possible to add a page_5 to the site?

Yes, you would duplicate all of the files and settings that make page_4. The best way would probably be to use the About Us mod in Free Addons, which will show you all of the about eight files/edits required for a new define page.

Re: how do I change the colors of information sideboxes?

Thanks, i'll go with the mod, I already duplicated all the files and actually have page_5 and it shows up in define pages but no matter what i ad it won't show up on the page. even if I ad it to define_page_5.php so I must be doing something wrong, maybe the mod will show me something i missed.

thanks again, and i do try and try for hours before I post a help question.

just in case you can see something, this is my test site where i try this stuff first, here is page_5 but with i can't get anything added

Re: how do I change the colors of information sideboxes?

well the mod was for about us and i wanted to add a help page. i was going to put is in page 5 but it seems that i just created it in ez pages and let it generate the url and it created a new page for me

http://www.airtightsecurityplus.com/security_equipment/help

and I never got my site to the root but I did make my home page at http://www.airtightsecurityplus.com and it runs off the stylesheets for the most part, it includes the mods i have installed so it seems to working out, do you think that having the security_equipment part is a bad thing or just unfortunate?

in answer to your question, i did download the about us mod and it says it was tested on 1.3.9b and php 5.3
