Hello
I am working on the Try It Out exercise on p224, Ch6. I have copied the provided CSS sheets and images into a App_Themes, but they do not appear in my browser as they should. For example, the images and background colors are correct, but the border spacing on the left and right is missing (below the menu and sidebar), the sidebar is on the bottom left instead of the upper right, and the text is not white. The nice background formatting around the Menu Goes Here text is missing.

I don't know if I should be able to include a screen clipping of this, or if the HTML code that runs would be helpful...

Thanks so much for any help. I too love this book and really appreciate the help.

Best,

Wade

Hi Wade,

The fact that you do see colors and images seems to indicate the theme itself is applied correctly. The first thing I would check is capitalization of the <div> elements in the Master Page. There's a difference between MainContent and maincontent for example.

If that doesn't help, can you post the code for the Master Page and the final HTML from the page in the browwser?

If you post code, please paste it in Notepad first to remove color coding and then use the forum editor's Code toolbar button to wrap your code in code tags. Otherwise, this forum messes up the code.

Cheers,
I
mar

Ah Ha! There's also a difference between MainContent and Main Content. Thanks for identifying my issue so quickly.
