dirtbikeworld Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hi, I have recently added a contribute called "Fixed Width Site With CSS" which allows you not only to fix the width of your shop but also change the background colour. The problem I keep getting is when I change the background colour say from white to black it works but then sometimes it will go back to white. For example the homepage will have a black background but when I refresh the page sometimes the background will be white. Think I need to change something else somewhere but not sure where, any help would be most appreciated. Hope this makes sense Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Stylesheet error: .fixcenter { width: 758px; border: solid; border-width: 1px; background: #ffffff; color: #000000; margin: auto; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left; } [b]} [color="#FF0000"]<---- DELETE THIS![/color][/b] That's a place to start. Sometimes after changing the stylesheet you have to hold the <Ctrl> key down while doing a page refresh in the browser to force the browser to reload all contents from the server, including the newly changed stylesheet. This works with IE and Firefox. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
