CSS Questions — Help a php-noob, win a prize ;)

“A) I cannot find where the reddish background color of my “Sidebar” is in my style.css to change it.”

This is not a background color – it’s an image:

#rap {
background-image: url(images/content_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;

What I’ve done in situations like this, is copy the image into your image editor and change the color, then save it back up.

“B) Additionally, in my Sidebar, under the “General Info:” on top of the Sidebar (which I wrote myself and is in sidebar.php), I cannot figure out how to make those links more like the section in “Recent Posts:””

Change this:

<h2>General Info:</h2>
<br>
<a>("Refresh" for a new Header)</a>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://sevenstripes.com/blog/about-the-writer/">:: About Me</a>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://sevenstripes.com/blog/about-the-site/">:: About Site</a>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://sevenstripes.com/blog/legal-disclaimers/">:: Disclaimers </a>
<br>
<br>

To this:

<h2>General Info:</h2>
<br>
("Refresh" for a new Header)
<ul id=is_link>
<li><a href="https://sevenstripes.com/blog/about-the-writer/">:: About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="https://sevenstripes.com/blog/about-the-site/">:: About Site</a></li>
<li><a href="https://sevenstripes.com/blog/legal-disclaimers/">:: Disclaimers</a></li>
</ul>

However if you’re just trying to list all the pages on your site – there’s a much easier way that will do it automatically for you… but I’m assuming here you’re picking and choosing.

Someone beat me to it. ??

azel – it’s not a color. i looked at the CSS myself, it’s an image that spans the main content AND the sidebar content.

and the list needed to be styled like the other one is… not just put into an unordered list… although personally, it should be a class, and not an id… especially when using it more than once. but for now, just get through this much… lol

what… no prize?
no high five even?
at least come back and let us (and future forum users) if you did any of this and whether or not it worked for you!

I just came back to the post to declare a mission success ?? and to thank you for your generous help, and well-explained advice.

LOL That’s better… ??

LadyDelaluna, see if you can help me with this:

I design my page on DreamWeaver and it looks perfect on the design mode. But when I open it up on any browser, the layout (just the layout) messes up.

Is there any reason for this.

Please help.
Thanks
