Background Styles Issue

Post by skim1114 »

I am terribly frustrated. I've been using CMSMS for over a year and through the various different versions, I have not had any problems with the backgrounds.

I am using 1.3.1 and my background styles are being ignored. I'm not sure how to fix this, but as you can imagine, it is an issue. I can create some work arounds, but I shouldn't have to.

I know the css works when it's on in CMSMS since I build my files prior to uploading them into CMSMS.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think you have provided nearly enough information for anyone to help with your problem, which is probably why people are ignoring your post.

Hi Mark, my Crystal ball exploded... very messy...

Very possibly TinyMCE, but also perhaps transparent PNG's in background on IE, or perhaps some other js/code/css stopping the backgrounds appearing? Perhaps there are small goblins at work on this web site hiding the backgrounds so that they may one day return to the foreground? You never know...  especially with goblins!

If it worked outside CMSMS and not after uploading into CMSMS.... isn't the semicolon ';' missing at the end of the styling line?

Ok. More info is what I am hearing.

I know the my stylesheets work when they are not in CMSMS since I first build the templates to my sites, test them, and them implement them into CMSMS.

Here are the styles I needed to insert into {literal} tags since they weren't being seen in the stylesheet I had attached to the template. At first, it was really ignoring backgrounds...but I think it was ignoring maybe width or height as well.
body{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background-color:#e8e3e0; /*beige*/
font-family:verdana, arial, sans-serif;
color:#6e5c52;  /*dark brown*/
font-size:11px;
line-height:16px;
font-weight:normal;
}
#superwrap {
width: 810px;
min-height:600px;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
#container{
float:left;
width: 800px;
min-height:600px;
height:600px;
}

And, I am not using png.

I don't understand how it could be Tiny since it's a front end issue, not backend.

I hope that gives folks a little more to go on.

Again, I've tested this with a couple of different sites now and I am positive they work until they are in CMSMS.

What stylesheets are attached to your template?
Do any of the later (going by the order they appear in the css association menu) stylesheets override these settings from an earlier one?

Can you post a link to your site, so we can see what's happening?

Exactly, especially if you inserted the {literal}{/literal} css before the {stylesheet} tag, which could be overriding the body background and so on. Check that out first I'd say.
