I changed the widths of both of them to 800px, so they would be wide enough for their background images.</p> <p>#upbg<br /> {<br /> position: absolute;<br /> top: 0px;<br /> left: 0px;<br /> background: #fff url('../images/upbg.gif') no-repeat;<br /> width: 800px;<br /> height: 264px;<br /> z-index: 1;<br /> }</p> <p>#outer<br /> {<br /> position: relative;<br /> width: 800px;<br /> margin: 0 auto;<br /> background: #fff url('../images/abg.gif') repeat-y;<br /> }</p> <p>With the html, besides fixing most of the validation errors, I removed the space in front of the Doctype and moved the google ad code between the secondary content and the footer.</p> <p>I think it worked out pretty well. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=363#post-1515 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 03:53:45 +0000 wildnis 1515@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I'm trying to get rid of my tables and try to get 3 pictures side by side in multi rows.

Adobe, Microsoft and Mindjet namimng just a few. It may be due to software modifying the permissions of the registry and not doing it cleanly, they do not add Admistrator or System after adding or changing permissions. The solutio is to use subinacl.exe and a reset.cmd file<br /> Seearch and download subinacl.msi<br /> then create a reset.cmd batch file with<br /> '#############<br /> cd /d "%ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"<br /> subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f<br /> subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f<br /> subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f<br /> subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f<br /> subinacl /subdirectories %windir%\*.* /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f<br /> secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose</p> <p>'############</p> <p>I have used this on XP Sp2 and 3 and vista<br /> with no problem.

You can change this by going to "Preview" &gt; "Manage Preview Documents".</p> <p>Then click on the Online tab and put in the url of your html page and click OK. Then you just select it from the popup list beneath the preview pane. But make sure you don't try to do this until after you've loaded the style sheet.</p> <p>And while you're at it change line 6 so the line-height is at least 1.0 rather than 13px so you don't have those three overlapping lines of text.</p> <p>body, td, input, textarea{<br /> font-size:11px;<br /> font-family:Tahoma;<br /> color:#000000;<br /> line-height:1; /* was 13px */<br /> vertical-align:top;<br /> padding:0px;<br /> } </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=354#post-1497 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 10:12:35 +0000 apples 1497@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I am using the demo. I have just started using corecommerce shooping cart. I am using one of their free shopping templates.</p> <p>I want to add a background colour or image to my shop. I think I can do it with Style Master.</p> <p>I FTP the current template I am using and open the styles.css file.</p> <p>But it does not show like my webshop. It shows as a new template with like, header and the lorem ipsum text etc.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong any ideas?</p> <p>Cheers<br /> Peter<br /> <a href="http://www.WeldingDiscounts.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.WeldingDiscounts.com</a> </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=353#post-1496 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:05:57 +0000 Yani 1496@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>John,</p> <p>There are areas where traditional Windows keys of</p> <p>cut = shift delete<br /> copy = control insert<br /> paste = shift insert</p> <p>just plain fail. I know that this isn't uncommon in apps, particularly when they are programmed on a Mac. But these old keys as far as I'm concerned are the ones that are sensible. Control X C V is really only a poxy alternative that was developed for cut down Mac keyboards. </p> <p>When you do the revision can you ensure that these keys work. At least on the Windows version.</p> <p>Yani </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=346#post-1495 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 01:59:50 +0000 guyleech 1495@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Chickentikka, have a go at re-installing it in a different folder; it won't have any effect on the running of the program, and may fix the problem. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=346#post-1492 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 07:53:16 +0000 chickentikka 1492@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Style master is installed on my computer, but in a different location. I didn't set it to a different location, I just accepted the defaults. The install path is "C:\Program Files\western civilisation\Style Master 4.6" Since posting this message I have tried various ways to get it to work. The repair option didn't work when I tried to run the install, so I did an uninstall and reinstall and this worked for a while. The problem has now returned again. I will uninstall and reinstall and change the path of the install if this won't cause any problems with other parts of the program.<br /> Regards<br /> Mark </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1491 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 23:21:40 +0000 guyleech 1491@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Storyman, what he's after is the finished CSS file, so he can compare them, rather than the tutorial on how to create the CSS file.</p> <p>And sandman, here you go:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/hands_on_tutorial/finished_project/core-style.css">The CSS file</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/hands_on_tutorial/finished_project/index.html">The HTML file</a></li> </ul> <p>Hope that helps,<br /> Guy </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1490 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:45:31 +0000 Storyman 1490@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Sandman,</p> <p>I'm not giving up on you.</p> <p>Is this it?</p> <p><a href="http://www.westciv.com/style_master/hands_on_tutorial_sm/04.creating_the_ss.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.westciv.com/style_master/hands_on_tutorial_sm/04.creating_the_ss.html</a> </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1489 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 19:17:21 +0000 sandman 1489@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>thank you Storyman , thats the description of the tutorial , but it's not the clean cut css.style-sheet that i found several month ago on the Stylemaster-site that shows how the css.style-sheet must look like, to give the style to the html.index page. that css.style-sheet was not on<br /> my computer and it was not a help-file at all.<br /> but thanks for putting in so much effort to helping me out. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1488 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 01:16:59 +0000 Storyman 1488@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Sandman,</p> <p>You'll need to copy then paste the stylesheet into something like Notepad, then save as a css file.</p> <p>The stylesheet can be found on your computer at:<br /> C:\Program Files\western civilisation\Style Master 4.6\Help_Files\tutorial4.creating_the_ss.html </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1487 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 21:51:04 +0000 sandman 1487@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>thank you Storyman , the file is showing the startingpage for the tutorial ans stuff, but it is<br /> not the css.style-sheet from the tutorial to wich i would link my design to from the tutorial </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1486 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:32:04 +0000 Storyman 1486@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Sandman,</p> <p>If you are a Windows user and performed the typical installation on drive 'C' you will find what you are looking for there.</p> <p>I.E.: C:\Program Files\western civilisation\Style Master 4.6</p> <p>In that folder is the file 'Start Here', which you can open in IE. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1485 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:40:06 +0000 sandman 1485@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>sorry, i deleted that crap what i did, so i'm waiting for someone who could post me the link with the original css-code. there was a link on the style-master-site but i can't find it . when<br /> i see the code from the original css-style-sheet, i will start again from scratch and<br /> have the possibility to compare my work and the<br /> original. thank you anyways </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=349#post-1484 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 23:10:42 +0000 JohnAllsopp 1484@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>this is fixed for the next version - a beta of which is out now (email us for a copy) and which should be released soon</p> <p>thanks</p> <p>john </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1483 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 23:09:35 +0000 JohnAllsopp 1483@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Sandman,</p> <p>can you post your finished HTML and CSS somewhere for a dissection!</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>john </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=350#post-1482 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:36:26 +0000 sandman 1482@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>is there anyone who finished the course , i can not come to an end , i did it 6 or 7 times allways<br /> lookin odd. is there any link to the original css-style-sheet that i could find out about my mistakes ?<br /> greatings sandman </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic.php?id=349#post-1481 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 04:11:17 +0000 WPC417 1481@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>When selecting a statement in the Statement column, Stylemaster places a faint blue outine around the corresponding code for that statement in the code pane. </p> <p>I find that outline almost impossible to see on my MacBook Pro --- very annoying.

An application you have uninstalled since installing Style Master has uninstalled some shared components that both it and Style Master uses. The best thing to do is download style master again, then uninstall Style Master, then reinstall.
