Confused with styling
#1
Music 

Hi again.
I really have trouble getting my rewires script a nice styling. I am just not used of mixing styling with PHP coding, sorry!

I like this one very much.Very professional executed, indeed.:

Could any one guide me through on how to go about the styling and on what pages I need to alter.
As sai, I am not familiar with staying PHP code. I do a lot but this is plain XHTML / CSS.

I find that many rules in a normal XHTML/CSSS environment simply disappear when staying a PHP page that is full of PHP codes. Sorry for my ignorant but as mentioned earlier, I am not a PHP programmer. I am a simple stylist.

Thanks a lot for your help

PS: here is a screenshot of my messy review which I just can't clean and style so it would look nice. (if it has a simple html file I'd have no problems with)

Hi sorry but I don't have a proper Internet connection at the moment (I'm having to use my mobile phone to post this). I'll reply to your posts as soon as I can.

Have you completed the interview?

I've only implemented this last night and still working with it. You'll see my styling at http://clients.photogenix.biz/test/Index.php (very temporary URL) - I stripped quite a lot out via Admin panel to just leave what I wanted.

Styling is then via the CSS file which is located comments / css / stylesheet.css

I find that Mozilla Firefox with Firebug add-on identifies the elements really easily in a live on-line environment so you can see what class each element is named and then style accordingly. This is really useful because the PHP is effectively converted to html.

Hope that makes sense and apologies if it's old news - I'm a 'newbie myself so learning by doing really.
One other thing - the screen shot looks like the CSS file isn't being accessed. Assuming you kept everything in the same directories as the zip file, have you got your installation location set correctly within the Admin Panel? Settings - System - Comments URL? Mine for example is set to http://www.clients.photogenix.biz/comments/

Hi,

Skip is right. Personally I use the 'Web Developer' add-on for Firefox. It's similar to 'Firebug' in that you can view styling information (Tools -> Web Developer -> CSS -> View Style Information) and edit a live website (Tools -> Web Developer -> CSS -> Edit CSS).

Looking at your screenshot I have a suggestion. In the CSS stylesheet there is a section:
Code:
.form_styling {
}

Try changing it:
Code:
.form_styling {
float: left;
}

Have you completed the interview?

Hi Skip, Hi Steven
I was a bit very busy, thus my late reply here. Sorry!

One thing, I need to mention. This entire software and its support here in your forum ... awesome. I am indeed impressed and can only recommend it anytime, anywhere. It's simply a combination you don't find that easy these days!

Thank you!
