Help in editing the checkout pages?

[maccamason]

Hello

I was wondering if one of you kind souls could help me in my quest to change the text in my checkout pages, especially the text that asks the user to tick the textbox if the require an different delivery address for the invoice address

on my site the text is tiny and not very clear and we have had a few phone calls by people about this issue

thanks very much

Most likely the size will be set by a class in the actinic.css stylesheet. If you go to the page in question on your website and view the page source and look for the offending text you will see something like

<span class="actxxsmall">click here... >

It is the actxxspan that is setting the size in the actinic.css (this is found in the root of the site1 folder)

You have 2 options ....

1. edit the actxxsmall (or whichever is in place) to use a larger font .. this will increase the size of all instances of that across the site.. or

2. replace the class to use a slightly larger one eg "actregular"

The class in place may be different but they all start with act?????

HTH

thanks for the reply

sorry to sound daft but how can i view these pages to see the source, its the pages generated by the cgi like the check out pages

[jont]

In Firefox highlight the text, right click, view selection source

but when i have editied the actinic.css file

}

.actxxsmall {
font-size: 20px;
color: #000000;
}

i changed the size to 20 just to check it and it dosnt seem to have worked??

id also like to change the colour of the test so people know that they have to tick the box

Can you place a link to the site for someone to see what is happening?

id also like to sort out the thumbnails so they are in line and not all over the place depending on how much text is under them

thanks very much for your help

i also realise i should just read the manual but ive had 4 weeks to do this whole site and ive never worked with actinic before, and today is the final launch date, so after its launched i will be able to study the guides

The checkout text is being styled generically via

p, table, td, th

this is set to 11px at the moment

The quickest solution here would be to center everything into the containing table cells.

thanks but where could i edit this??

p, table, td, th {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
color: #000000;
margin-top: 0px;
}

i take it its here??

if i wanted to change the colour on the text for the select country question how would i do this??

thanks again

To change globally look in the actinic.css .. this is in the root of the site1 folder. (not the copy inside PreviewHTML).

This will change all instance of those tags. As mentioned before you could add a new class to the text you need to change by editing the template and wrapping the code between <span> tags eg:

<span class="myClass">actinic stuff here</span>

in the actinic.css have soemthing like:

.myClass {
font-size: 16px;
color: red;
}

that will then only apply to text wrapped inside a styling of "myClass"

in the text box and then add the class to the .css file
