A color/image background change dilemma…

A color/image background change dilemma…

 

Hello everyone. I’m new here and I have to say, I’m very impressed with the knowledge here and the help that you provide. Not just saying it, I mean it.

 

I’ve been a lot of places looking for help with all kinds of different issues and this board seems to be the most active and helpful.

 

I'm not sure if I can be helped here, but I thought I’d give it a shot.

I did search the topics looking for related issues and there are quite a few, but not that address what happens if you have tried all the recommended fixes. So, this really IS a dilemma to me

 

I’m in a bit of a sticky wicket (I’m losing my mind trying to figure this…and there wasn’t that much to begin with)

 

I’ve tried everything I know how to change the background color of the header where the logo is (behind the logo) and for the rest of the page as well, but the logo background is what I’m focused on right now.

 

My images have been changed to suit the color I want/need, I looked at the stylesheet.css and changed almost everything in there because the images change wasn’t/isn’t working. (I’ll be changing the text colors back, but I was trying “everything”)

 

I looked at the header.php to make sure that the image I was changing was correct and it is. But, the background isn’t changing.

I’m trying to get the background to match the color of the logo (dark yellow) I thought I only had to change the image h_back1.gif

I did that (changed to match) only that isn’t working.

 

Hope this all made sense...

I think I've changed and tried just about everything I know how to.

Does anyone know what the heck could be wrong?

 

I’d appreciate and help I can get on this.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

P.S. As far as the over all installing, editing and working...it rocks! Now, if I can just get the colors and whatall I want!

Thanks again

Well, I guess if I continue to press on I'll get the rest of it sorted out.

I did figure out how to change most of it, but what pain it's been.

 

However, I still cannot find the area where I edit for the left over grayish/pink

 

I didn't think I woul dhave to edit so many pages?

Shouldn't it have been only one or two? A pic or so?

 

I know I'm new to php, but sheesh...I have been editing for a long time and this template has been really crazy!

Some things don't work as expected in osc :(

 

You'll find the various html tags of a table spread over several files, which does make things difficult on times. Probably the easiest way to overcome your problem is to insert another table within the cells your having problems with, then rather than changing the style sheet to get the correct colour (so far not worked), I would add the background colour tags directly in to the table tags to achieve the correct colour. Its not liked by the w3c people, but at least it will get you going. Once up and running, then add some individual style sheet codes for your new table in the style sheet.

 

Although there are apparently many things on my site the w3c (is that the correct term?) people don't like, I'm pleased to say that it doesn't seem to have affected my rankings.

 

Have fun :)

try a search for

<!-- start -->
<table align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="width:728px; height:700px;">
<tr>
	<td style="width:2px; height:100%;">

		<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="background:url('images/left_col_tall.jpg') repeat-y right; height:100%">
			<tr>
				<td style="background:url('images/left_col.jpg') no-repeat right top;"><img src="images/spacer.gif" border="0" alt="" width="2" height="1"><br>
				</td>
			</tr>
		</table>
	</td>
	<td style="width:100%; height:100%; background: #F2DD66 url('images/h_back1.gif') repeat-x top;">
		<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style=" height:100%;">

			<tr>
				<td style="width:100%; height:115px;">
					<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="center" style="width:724px; height:100%;">
						<tr>
							<td width="395"><a href="http://mambojambojewels.com/index.php?osCsid=171694a6152259df4a8f4fa6b49be05a"><img src="images/logo.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="344" height="82"  style="margin:19px 0px 24px 10px;"></a><br></td>
							<td style="width:333px; height:100%;">
								<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" style="height:100%;">

Then on the the line

<td width="395"><a href="http://mambojambojewels.com/index.php?osCsid=171694a6152259df4a8f4fa6b49be05a"><img src="images/logo.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="344" height="82"  style="margin:19px 0px 24px 10px;"></a><br></td>

then change this <td width="395"> to <td width="395" bgcolor="#00FF00"> or a colour of your choice. :)

 

If that works, let me know, then I'll tell you how I found out where to put the colour code :P
