Custom CSS not working :S

[slawrence10]

Not sure if I'm missing something here...

I've added the following to actinic.css

.product{
	border:medium;
	border-width:4px;
	border-color:#77B3F2;
}

and altered the Standard Product Image Layout to:

<img src="ProductImageFileName" class="product" width="280" alt="ProductName" />

but the border isn't being added :S I know I'm using the right layout as I altered the image width to 280 which took instant effect. Any ideas, have I missed something cruitial in my understanding of using custom css?

Thanks for your time,
Scott.

Try: border: 4px solid #77B3F2;

[slawrence10]

it worked thank you

any ideas why my CSS didn't? it works for general HTML pages I code in dreamweaver

thank you for your time,
Scott

Because medium is a border-width property which you were also specifying as 4 pixels. By the way .product is already used, it's specified in the stylesheet as h3.product for a heading style. But you might want to check when naming your styles against the Actinic stylesheet in case you have any conflicts.

Oh i see, I guess I should have been a bit more careful of what property to use!

and that is a very good point I will keep that in mind

Thank you again,
Scott

oh yeh and forgot to mention it did alter the heading style, so I renamed my style as productimage instead.

As Actinic coders have an aversion to CamelCasing their classes I always add new styles in as productImage for example so you can guarantee there is no conflict with any of the existing.

ok, humour me...
CamelCasing?

Camels have humps along their backs ... so when the TextGoesUpAndDown to make it easier to read it looks like a camels back
