Absolutely 'Nothing' happens! Of course, I can create it manually, but the whole point is that I need a program that will speed up my turn around time, as I've been coding CSS by hand for quite some time, and at this point it's just too time consuming. It would be nice if this program would work, minus the [other] glitches I've found, but none as nerve-racking as this one.</p> <p>FYI: I am running OS X 10.5.8, using Style Master v. 5.0.0</p> <p>Tracy </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/page-layout-tutorial#post-366 Mon, 05 Feb 2007 23:17:22 +0000 cortical 366@http://support.westciv.com/ <br /> http://support.westciv.com/topic/page-layout-tutorial#post-359 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 08:58:26 +0000 Saviour 359@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> i am totally new to CSS.

If you open a "real" HTML document (that is one you create not the preview one Style Msster creates)does the problem persist, or is all ok?</p> <p>thanks again,</p> <p>Sara </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/margin-0-zero-isnt#post-22 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 19:14:55 +0000 XebraTech 22@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Turns out that it's actually off by 2 pixels. If I make the margin= -2px; then everything moves flush to the left and top.</p> <p>This is very strange! Is this something that others have experienced? Wondering about placement now...</p> <p>Appreciate any thoughts that anyone may have regarding this.</p> <p>Thanks...Bob </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/margin-0-zero-isnt#post-21 Fri, 11 Aug 2006 19:06:40 +0000 XebraTech 21@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Hi - just went through your tutorial in one sitting. First of all, AWESOME. Knew alot of this already, but there the position stuff really helped clear up some core concepts for me.</p> <p>Working on a Mac using Safari &#38; Firefox and am seeing that I'm not getting a flush line at the top and leftmost for Margin. There's just a 1 pixel gap where the background bleeds through and so it looks funny/polka dotted. Wondering if there's some other setting to push the entire content to the far left and up - or am I running into something strange that is Mac specific?</p> <p>BTW, I'll be purchasing your product here in the next few minutes. I've been using TopStyle for many years and I actually like your product MUCH better. The X-Ray feature is an amazing concept!</p> <p>Would appreciate an answers as to why this 1 pixel thing is happening. Don't think it's related to your product, but wondering if there's a rule that's missing? </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/mistakes-and-typos-and-suggestions-in-tutorial#post-15 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 18:19:47 +0000 alxyz 15@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Exercise #37</p> <p> "Remember how you already used margins above to give the &lt;body&gt; a 0 margin right the way round?"</p> <p>This should read "all the way round?" </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/mistakes-and-typos-and-suggestions-in-tutorial#post-14 Mon, 07 Aug 2006 14:15:36 +0000 dmcd 14@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Hi, I'm on my first day of trialing Style Master and am struggling through the tutorial.</p> <p>Before I get down to specific problems with this, I'd like to say that this programme, once I get the hang of it, is probably going to be a godsend to me. </p> <p>Before looking at Style Master, I'd been trying to understand the logic behind CSS and not getting very far. As a longtime Dreamweaver user in strictly WYSIWYG mode, heavy on the tables use, I couldn't get my head around coding html, let alone understanding and coding CSS. To be honest, I'm not interested in hand coding anything. Too many better things to do. I just need a quickish means to an end, like most novice webmasters and loathe that "made with table everywhere" look. </p> <p>I knew there had to be something better and that CSS was it, but I guess I'm getting a bit long in the tooth to pick up radically different concepts easily. Working through the Style Master tutorial, already there are little faint light bulbs flickering feebly above my head. I think I'm finally learning something about CSS.</p> <p>There are lots of little inconsistancies in the tutorial, obviously because the version I'm using is different to the version for which the tut was written. With a little bit of commonsense, I've found my way through minor changes of names of components etc. Now I'm stumped though at Lesson 46 on the background-position properties of outer-image. How on earth do I:-</p> <p>'... place the image in the center at the top</p> <p>In the background-position section of the Background Editor</p> <p>1. set horizontal to center</p> <p>2. set vertical to top'????</p> <p>I've managed to hand code the example of the desired coding result, but the outer-image is not behaving as it should.</p> <p>Could someone take a look at this tut and offer some sage advice please? There are simply no commands available in the background editor to centre the horizontal and align the vertical to top. Please don't tell me I have to do mathematical calculations to define the centre and top - I flunked maths. Strictly humanities for me. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/mistakes-and-typos-and-suggestions-in-tutorial#post-13 Sun, 06 Aug 2006 00:49:54 +0000 John 13@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestions alxyz, we'll look at them in detail for ther next revision.<br /> To delete a post, when you are logged in you can delete your own posts by using the Delete link in the bottom right of the[post you want to delete.</p> <p>Thanks again</p> <p>john </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/mistakes-and-typos-and-suggestions-in-tutorial#post-11 Sat, 05 Aug 2006 13:57:23 +0000 alxyz 11@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Exercise #33</p> <p>"Note: Safari for Mac users may still be seeing a margin at the top of the #header, which doesn't appear on Windows Internet Explorer or other browsers I tested on."</p> <p>The top margin appears also with Firefox 1.5 </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/mistakes-and-typos-and-suggestions-in-tutorial#post-9 Sat, 05 Aug 2006 02:35:24 +0000 alxyz 9@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Exercise #22: Open index.html and look at the last paragraph inside #main-text.

When added as the background image in step 15 what appears is a kind of honeycomb backgroud. This may be correct but some confirmation that, in fact, the page-bg.gif is suppose to be 7X7 pixels would make this less confusing for me. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/mistakes-and-typos-and-suggestions-in-tutorial#post-5 Fri, 04 Aug 2006 17:09:42 +0000 alxyz 5@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>I find the following instructions from Exercise 12 confusing: "Just put them in directly under the body statement." That is, "Statements with selectors for these three types of element will have been automatically created" so is the user suppose to move the three statement up until they are directly below the body statement or leave them where they appear in the tutorial?</p> <p>Exercise 12</p> <p>Create three new statements: to select , &lt;h1&gt; and &lt;h2&gt; elements. Just put them in directly under the body statement.</p> <p>Statements with selectors for these three types of element will have been automatically created because they were in the HTML document. Just scroll down in the style sheet until you find them. </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/mistakes-and-typos-and-suggestions-in-tutorial#post-4 Fri, 04 Aug 2006 17:02:42 +0000 alxyz 4@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>Any way to delete a post? </p> http://support.westciv.com/topic/mistakes-and-typos-and-suggestions-in-tutorial#post-3 Fri, 04 Aug 2006 17:01:54 +0000 alxyz 3@http://support.westciv.com/ <p>I am going through the tutorial and as I come across any typos or mistakes or suggestions I'll post them. </p> <p>First (hopefully only) is in Exercise #8:</p> <p>" but if you need to add another one you can do so by choosing Preview Options... from the Preview menu.<br /> Change the document used for previewing by choosing Preview Options... from the Preview menu."</p> <p>This should be the Design menu rather than than Preview Menu. </p>
