Joomla and CSS

[Bitey]

Hey guys I am helping a friend with a website, I could use some of you guy’s knowledge about these two if you have it that would be great. So if you are willing to help out let me know.

dunno much about joomla but i’m pretty good with css .. raven would prolly know a lot more though

Problems right now is there is black text showing up in some forms (like the register section), and the background is black so the text doesn’t show up. Secondly our forums section doesn’t take up the full part of the screen and we would like it to be wider without it effecting the rest of the site. Any help you guys can offer would be great.

Here is my template.css right now.

The body background color isnt properly defined.

It also looks like your website width is locked at 838 pixels throughout the whole css document. Not sure what did that but you might want to extend it out or find the auto-adjust value.

Thank you Mitch I will take a look at those things.

Mitch when you said the background wasn’t properly defined I lost you, which part is wrong?

Also having some issues with the text not staying in the border we setup on certain pages

body background looks fine to me if all you want is a black background using only #000 is fine

 

without seeing the markup I prolly can’t help much more

Bitey, not sure how far in you are in creating the site, BUT I have a designer friendly web site builder that kicks *edited*. It’s called Freeway Pro. You can create pretty much anything you want, incorporate any third party blogs or forums and i think there is a way to incorporate cms. It reminds me of dreamweaver only a lot easier to use, does all the coding for you, and is like 100-200 dollars cheaper. You can also design in a basic html table layout or css layout, which is neat.

Above is the maker, some british dudes. What’s also neat is they created their site with their product. It’s mac only i believe, but i figured you might like it cause you own one. You should check out the free trial if you get tired of coding. They also have a ton of tutorials to help with snippets and addons and such.

 

 

Here are a couple of sites i created using it, note: these are my first two real attempts at creating a website, so they are kinda weak, but are still functional. Anyway check them out, I’m still learning the program but i think the potential is there.
