Change to actinic.css not propagating through

[kathynewman]

I've made a change to actinic.css to change the bullet point in the left hand section list menu from a square to a decimal ( ul { list-style-type: decimal; }) but when I go back into actinic I still have a square.

Can't see what I'm doing wrong - can anyone help please.

Thanks

The actinic.css stylesheet was designed by the same people who did spaghetti junction .. its a nightmare to navigate .. chances are the styling is coming from another position further down the cascade (the bottom of the sheet). Also worth changing products / sections to force a refresh in the preview.

As another thought - worth checking if the styling is supported by IE

The li you are trying to style may be within an id, therefore overridden. Would need more info to give a definitive answer. I presume the () you have included is for the benefit of the post?

[kathynewman]

Thanks both- yes agree with the spagetti junction reference!

Yes the () was just for the post. Checked and can't see any other mention of list-style-type further down the css and the style trying to change is supported by IE.

Don't think the li is within an id so really not sure now.

Have you included it into the css at the bottom, so it overwrites anything you might have missed? Try changing the style to something different just to see. Its needle in haystack without a url or some code to see.

The layouts don't tend to use ID's .. that's too organised .... they are usually a class and something like:

.left_navigation_smart_theme_used_on_wednesday

with the list type declared in there.

Are you sure it is coming from a list as some of the themes use a small graphic for the navigation

Now that made me PMFSL.

It might also be in .we_had_a_temp_in_on_this_day

As far as I can tell it's coming from the theme (executive) firstly can't find anywhere to change the graphic and secondly read a post asking the exact same thing and the answer was to change it in css (http://community.actinic.com/showthr...ecutive+bullet)

Provide a url Kathy or at least your css file, will be much easier than doing it blind.

No haven't tried putting it at the bottom will do so. Can't give url new site I'm just playing about with at the moment - can post the whole of the actinic.css file though if you want

Try it at the bottom, it's not hard to miss a line with 1200 odd lines of it.

Just created a default executive in MultiSite and the CSS is coming from

ul.products

simply add your list-style in there and that should resolve

[jont]

To be fair to the Actinic programmers there is a huge comment block

/* list fomatting -------------------------------------------------- */

with the ul styling in there

AARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

This is driving me mad - done all suggestions and it's still not working. If anyone has insomnia later and fancies a look the css file can be found at: www.puddlepetcare.co.uk/Files/actinic.css

Off for a large cup of coffee & packet of fags...........

Attached is screen grab from a virgin Executive theme showing on the left the default ul.products and on the right with the inclusion of list-style: circle; and the resulting change in the code in the preview window above
