Help changing a site element

Hi, I’m new to website design and I’m charged with changing up our site. I’ve done a lot to it, but it still has this pesky brown background that I can’t seem to get changed.

Our site is: www.hetlinger.org

Can anybody look at the source code and tell me which portion of the coding or the style sheet controls that background? I’m at a loss. I’ve figured out how to change everything BUT that element.

Thanks in advance!

Hi daisydiva and welcome to the forums. :slight_smile:

It looks to be the line in div#wrapper (in menu.css) that reads

background-color: #C2B59B

Oh thank you! I’m off to look at it again now!

Is there a way to change this in Komodo? I found the wrapper portion but not the color code?

The full section of CSS for div#wrapper is:

div#wrapper	{
	position: relative;
	left: 95px;
	top: -969px;
	width: 524px;
	background-color: #2A3990;
    height:auto;
	text-align: left;
	padding-left: 16px;
	padding-right: 16px;
	padding-top: 3px;
	padding-bottom: 3px;
	border: 2px solid #2A3990;
	border-top-width: 24px;
	border-bottom-width: 24px;
    background-color: #C2B59B;
    z-index:1;
			}

You have background-color specified twice, and the second one (second last line) is the brown one which is over-riding the other. Does that help any?

Yeah, I found that part in Firebug but when I go to open it in Komodo after I saved a local file to my desktop I can no longer find the specific coding. I’m missing a step somewhere I think…maybe accessing the css document in komodo?

That is weird. :slight_smile:

I went to the file at http://bird.pixelthugs.com/hetlinger/menu.css, and used “save page as” to take a copy and the whole code is showing up OK. If that doesn’t work, can you try a different editor to open it? Even a simple text editor like Notepad?

Ok. Finally got that far! I’ll keep working with it and see if I can figure out how to alter and the move it back to the website through our FTP server…thank you so much!

You’re welcome. :slight_smile: Let us know if you need any more help.
