Stylesheet Problems!

[mystifier_uk]

I have been working on my site for a while now, at:

 

http://www.watchstrapsuk.com/

 

And managed to get the site how I would like. The main feature was the left column to be black, and to stretch to the bottom of the page - which I have finally managed to do.

 

But on a few pages, like the contact us or the shopping cart pages I get a black background which I want white like the rest of the site. You can see what I mean on these pages:

 

http://www.watchstrapsuk.com/contact_us.php

http://www.watchstrapsuk.com/shopping_cart.php

 

Can anyone tell me how to get these pages to have a white background instead of the black?? :blink:

 

Thanks in advance!

Look for your infoBoxContents, infoBox or TextBox classes in your style sheet. One of these classes has a black background.

Thanks, but I have changed those to white (#FFFFFF) but when I do that the left navigation column also changes to white - but I want that black!

You can see all the stylesheet definitions and what they control HERE

 

The problem you are having however may not have a quick fix as I have found in some instances that a certain class will control tables that you do not want to change. This gives you two choices, you can find the table you do not want to be controlled by the class it is now controlled by and either assign it a new class or hard code the color in the table code.

I have tried to add a new class but no luck, and when I look at shopping_cart.php I find the following:

 

<tr>

<td align="center" class="main"><?php new infoBox(array(array('text' => TEXT_CART_EMPTY))); ?></td>

</tr>

 

I have set up another class called infoBox2, but when I change the code to:

 

<tr>

<td align="center" class="main"><?php new infoBox2(array(array('text' => TEXT_CART_EMPTY))); ?></td>

</tr>

 

I get an error :blink:

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

when you set up infoBox2, did you copy everything in classes/boxes.php to the new infoBox2? In there you should find class="TextBox".

 

Change this in infoBox2 to something like TextBox2 and define this with the white background in your stylesheet.

The error I get when I change it to infoBox2 is:

 

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: infobox2 in

/homepages/16/d147857598/htdocs/shop/catalog/shopping_cart.php on line 208

 

Does anyone know what this means?

You could have saved yourself so much time and run a search engine query, you would have got pages upon pages of ways to do it.

So does anyone know what causes this error?

 

Thanks.

The rule that is controlling it (class="TextBox") isn't defined in your stylesheet. Therefore it inherits the class infoBoxContents, which has a black background.

 

Set a new rule in your stylesheet

 

.TextBox {

background: #ffffff;

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 12px;

font-weight: bold;

}

 

Or however you want it to look and that should resolve it.

The error I get when I change it to infoBox2 is:

 

 

 

Does anyone know what this means?

 

This means that you obviously only changed shopping_cart.php to have the new infoBox2 and not /catalog/includes/classes/boxes.php. This file is where the stylesheet class is applied to the tablefield that contains the "your cart is empty" message.

 

So all you got to do is create a new class in boxes.php to which you apply the new class name infoBox2 and in addition to that you add another class to your stylesheet which has the background set to white. It is not enough to just rename infoBox in your shopping_cart.php as there is no class that can be instantiated. It is also not enough to just add another class to the stylesheet as this would change your black left column to white again.
