Beginners Guide to Wrappers - is there one?

Hi

Being an extremely new zenner trying to customise my site and get to grips with all the personalisation I should be able to achieve, I was wondering if anyone has put together a guide (diagram) to explain (show) exactly what each "wrapper" does and which area of the stylesheet it controls please.

eg:
where does the background wrapper show?
where does the main wrapper show?
where does the header wrapper show?
where does the logo wrapper show?
etc
etc

Many thanks

Anne

Hello Anne,

I'm just a few months ahead of you in my Zenning. ;-)

You will be able to work much more easily with Zen Cart if you use (these are the ones I know) Firefox as your development browser; Aardvark and Firebug as development add-ins to Firefox. You can get all these and many more at the Mozilla site. (https://www.firefox.com should redirect you.)

Aardvark creates a red outline around all the divs and such on a page, which lets you easily see the answer to your question. Then Firebug lets you see the code -- html, css, js, etc.-- that is creating your page. When you work with generated pages, as in Zen Cart, rather than static pages, you really need tools like these.

Try them out; you won't regret it.

HTH

Thanks Rob

I've done what you suggested - I should be able to stumble my way around a bit quicker now :wink2:
