css prob driving me crrrrazy

[TheInkDepot]

Hi all

I've added a custom css stylesheet to a site i'm working on along with the themed css, all looks fine in V8 preview but when you add a product on the live site the themed css kicks in...the siter is live if you'd like to check what i mean http://www.horsewize.co.uk

Thanks in advance

Neil

looks fine to me, maybe you could explain the problems you are seeing?

the problem is when you add a product to the shopping cart the top nav css is taken over by the theme's css and not my custom css...my css has the main nav across the top as bold light grey txt with yellow rollover but once you're in the shopping cart area the main nav turns to normal, red text with an underline on the rollover

cheers

I think I have a similar problem. I have various link types specified in my style sheet and they all worked perfectly in V7. Now I've upgraded to V8 they're all the wrong colour. I've looked and looked but can't see what on earth is causing this to happen.

Not sure if this is the same issue but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Have you changed the CSS references in the layouts with a problem, you can access them through the design tab. If you change it on one layout, it doesnt necessarily mean that all layout now use that, actinic has a number of different layouts etc.

I have - there's only one reference and that's to my own css file.

I've tried making changes in the Theme settings but nothing has worked.

Hi David,
Your problem is the horsewize.css file is not being correctly referenced on your checkout pages.

In non-checkout pages in the source it is referenced as

http://www.horsewize.co.uk/acatalog/horsewize.css

in and cgi-bin returned pages (e.g. shopping cart) it is referenced as

http://www.horsewize.co.uk/cgibin/horsewize.css

which obviously returns no css file.
As it is this file which has the styling for the .nazlinks, when it is not correctly called the style will not be applied and hence default to red and underline etc

The problem is with the CSS referencing in your layout. I would try making sure the reference
<link rel="stylesheet" href="horsewize.css" type="text/css">

was after the basehref line.
try sticking it after the actinic.css line and make sure the paths and references are correct.
