V9.02 Changing Add to Cart text

[Decswitch]

Hi,

I want to change the Add to Cart button text to read BUY NOW (have to be more forceful with the marketing stick in these trying times ya know )

I thought that by going into design view and clicking on the 'Add to Cart' button I would be able to find out where to edit it. When you do that it brings up the following code in the Layout Code window:

<input type="submit" value="<actinic:variable name="CartButtonText" />" name="_<Actinic:Variable Name="ProductID"/>" class="form_button_add_to_cart" />

I edited the CartButtonText variable so that the initial value and top level value (in the variable properties box) read BUY NOW but it did not change the text on the Add to Cart button.

Does anyone know why?

PS My Add to Cart button is a html text button, I think! It does have the little shopping cart image on it but the text is just that, text. Isn't it? Yarrggh. i think it is.

Best Regards, Rob.

How can I change the background colour of the add to cart button?

Is it an image or a css button?

[mattsav]

I'm not sure to be honest. I think its CSS but i've been looking at this all day and still haven't worked it out.

Think I'm having a blonde day...

Well in the absence of a URL, i will keep guessing for the rest of the day alongside you also.

Good point (I really am having a stupid day!)

Also, for some reason the search results screen has lost its format???

PMSL, you need to edit the URL too...

The bg colour of that button will be defined in your theme. It's probably the same palette colour that defines your site background, so if you want to change it and keep the site colour you'll have to do it in you CSS directly.
