text colour change

[00lewis]

i have been trying to change the colour of the text in the viewCart/checkout and when an ityem is addded to the cart,
http://d256639.micro59.micromarteuro...log/index.html

click on an item to see,

i want to change all the black type that is in the red blocks to white (much cleaner feel) i have tried to do this by changing the type in the design options but seem to change all of the type, can this be done or will i have to change this in dreamweaver?

There is a known issue with the shopping cart retaining old values and not picking up changes applied in Actinic or the CSS ... I tend to hard code the blighter ... open Act_ShoppingCartXML.html and simply change the code there .. best to apply the <th> tags with a .class so you can change the code at a later point if needed simply via the CSS

i think i may be doing something wrong for some reason the fonts are different in the view cart and the checkout,
In the Act_ShoppingCartXML.html, For each of the parts i wanted white- i selected the first NETQUOTEVAR: then changed the colour to white, dreamweaver then creates a new style/class is this correct?

I am still a novice at coding also, is there a part in the actinic.css part that i should be editing?

The exiting code may look like:

<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:REFERENCECAPTION</span>

change to something like

<span class="cartHeader">NETQUOTEVAR:REFERENCECAPTION</span>

and in the actinic.css create

.cartHeader {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #fff;
}

Excellent that was a great help,

i have noticed that once at the checkout stage then fill in all detals and select credit details sent seporately the page after that does not have white headers and also the NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERTEXT + NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTTEXT apears on the page. will this be on a seporate template to the cart ??

Have you checked out the Act_Order00.html through Act_Order04.html .. with the latter being the final page confirming the order before clicking back to the site proper

[00lewis]

will the site use each one of these depending on what the user does/info types in? i take it this is just going to be a trail and error type thing to determine what type i want black and white?

[jont]

They are the various stages through the checkout - obviously if someone selects a certain option some of the stages are bypassed - you should really look at all the templates in that range just to cover your bases

There is a full ist of the NQV's at the bottom of the Advanced User Guide to help in working out what is what in the cart area
