Wow that was fast thank you Lee. Thank you.

One slight problem it says the default size is �use parent (=11px)
When I copy and paste from the site to ms word it says thee size is �9�.

What do you think?
Home page www.sto-it.co.uk using the default font
And http://www.sto-it.co.uk/acatalog/Sto...for_Money.html
Using �actregular�

Thank you
Regards

When I copy and paste from the site to ms word it says thee size is �9�.

Don't copy and paste to MS Word

As lee says change the font sizes in site options or take the bit od text you want to change in the fragment and wrap actregular tags around it

Ok, I have tried many different font settings in SETTINGS | SITE OPTIONS but this setting also changes the text size in the menu�s also.

What I need to change is the default font size in the fragment text only.

Ideally I would like to change it to what is used in �actregular�.

In DESIGN | LIBRARY | FRAGMENT | FRAGMENT LAYOUT USING CSS I found

<p><actinic:variable Name="FragmentText"/></p>

But I can not find the actual variable called �FragmentText� anywhere.

I do not want the hassle of going back and changing every fragment to wrap "actregular" tags around it all.

Can you please point me in the right direction to change the default font in the fragment only.

Thank you,

Regards

Jim

Create yourself a brand new class, add the styles you want inside of it and then apply that class to your fragment layout (the <p> element I suspect). That then gives you sole styling on just the area you want to style.

Hi Lee,
Thanks, I will look into trying that and see if I can make it work.
Do you know where I can find out what font and size �actregular� is?
Regards
Jim

**leehack** · 22-May-2009, 06:23 PM

Firefox and firebug for a live view, or the stylesheet from the design tab within actinic. Both will show it to you, just search the list to find the class, they are all lumped together towards the top.

Thanks again,

Thanks for you pointers. And the tip about �Firebug� I found out that �actregular� in the fragment is called �Slightly Larger Text Size� in SETTINGS | OPTIONS and �LargerFontSize� in the stylesheet.

After experimenting a little, I changed the stylesheet table setting from font-size: <actinic:variable name="StandardFontSize" />; to font-size: <actinic:variable name="LargerFontSize" />;

This seems only to have changed the fragment text font size and not changed the menu font size. Just what I wanted.

Thanks again.

Change font size in css / Stylesheet Help please

So I am a photographer and Ive decided to dump the flash and go with CSS. I have a fairly decent knowledge of html but I am 100% new to CSS. I have come up with the look I want and I also found a site with codes I want to incorporate.

I have chosen this as my basic layout (http://www.code-sucks.com/css%20layo...s/fw-20-2-col/)
And I want to add this script to where it says navigation (http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menu/slide_show.html)
And I want this to be my navigation on the left

Now my question is.... uh.. how do I make this all work? I know I dl the files and save them seperatly then I place the file link in the html in the <head> section. However, this dosent seem to be working for me. Can anyone maybe give a step by step instruction, or the finished code, or thoughts on the codes ive chosen?

Hi BlogApostle

My suggestion would be to go on a course, I have finished re-doing our whole website with my own CSS template and without taking myself on a course I'd never have done it. I am sure you'd get help from the forum if you went a little off course, but no one would have the time to do all the code for you, unless you were paying of course

I had a days training with a company www.insighta.co.uk Simon who did the training was really great and geared the course to my own website.. one day wasnt really enough, but it got me started and when I got a bit muddled I got all the help to put me on the right track again from those who answered all my posts on this forum.

Anyway take a look at www.pinkequine.com thats the live result.. we still have a lot of SEO text to go and additional content, but what you want is achievable if you are willing to take the time to learn.

I can offer a couple of tips

1. Actinic already has some basic CSS templates, take a look in Design|Themes
2. I'd really take a good look a Norman's Lightbox and his multi image layouts, they are easy to install, do a perfect job for multiple images and are very reasonably priced www.drillpine.biz
