page 221 - problems with Monochrome and dark grey css
Hi,
I have 2 problems at page 221:
1. when i apply the dark grey css - final page does not look like yours
-content text does come in the center
- sidebar comes right of "Hi there visitor ...." text line, not in the upper most right of the page as shown. but in line with menu goes here.
-the content text seems to be kind of under menu goes here on the final ouput.
i check the id in the css and made sure that they match.
2. when i apply Monochrome -
- the HeaderLink - seems to be repeating twice
- the side bar is to the right of content but then to the right of side bar there is some space that i dont see in yours.
please help.
thanks,
Sarala vasudevan

Hi there,
Hard to say without seeing your code. Can you post the final HTML and the CSS?

Hi,
My 1st problem with DarkGrey css is solved. i get the correct page as seen in yours.
The problem was because of some slight spelling (caps) differences, once that got corrected the problem was fixed.
However after i corrected the id to match the selector id, Monochrome is behaving differently, it now gets it sidebar, under the content on the left side.
HTML Code is:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Hi there,
Take a look at your <head /> section: there are multiple CSS files listed. Maybe one of those is messing up the layout? Try removing all the css files from the App_Themes folder, except for the correct one.
If I copy and paste your HTML and CSS to a new HTML page, things look as they should, so it has to be one of those other CSS files.
Cheers,
Imar

thank you....the problem got fixed
Yup, those multiple css were causing the problem.
However my question to you....i did not refer these css in the web.config file.
i referenced only the needed css, so why do i see the other css too in the head section?
thank you,
sarala

As described in the book, each .css file in the active theme's folder is injected into the page automatically.
