confused

Hi
Sorry to ask a stupid question..

I have installeda template, everything is working ok but I thought I would change background color.
When I make the change to the stylesheet file, I dont see the change BUT if I change its name to stylesheet1.css, then it works.
Can someone explain

Thanks

Not without knowing what the template is. Did you buy the template?
if so, it could be for a thousand different reasons.

A Link to where this can be seen

Thanks for the replies.
The site is still only on my local PC so I cant give a link (should be hosted next week)
The template is the Cherry Zen Template, I suppose I should ask the question in that support forum too.
Thanks
John

Even Cherry should not be using extra stylesheets.

That being said, if the stylesheet1 is making a difference AND there are no other stylesheets, you may have placed your changes in the wrong sequence in the stylesheet.

Stylesheets load in alphabetical order and the calls in a stylesheet load first to last.

If we told the body text to be white at the beginning of a stylesheet and changed it to black at the end, black would prevail. If we later changed the white to red, black would still show.

Make sure you're using a single stylesheet and that you are not duplicating calls in the stylesheet.

I use Firefox with the Firebug add-on. It will tell you everywhere the call is in ALL stylesheets.
