Chapter 6 DarkGrey.CSS doesn't have any layout information

Hi. I am using your book for a college course and have run across a problem. I downloaded the resources from the website and am trying to implement them per the instructions on page 222. The problem is that, no matter how many times I have redone this (13th try right now), my page never looks like the picture on page 223. I took a look at the DarkGrey.css and noticed that the markups do not match the ones that should fit the page. (I.e. #Header is just header). This does not match the files that we have been building up to this point. Did the DarkGrey.css get changed by accident in the download? If so, is there a place I can get the original DarkGrey.css that still works with the TIO? I also noticed that the Monochrome.css doesn't work either. If you use the one that you made, everything works fine. As soon as you use the one provided, everything falls apart. I haven't tried to put in the images this time around, but they didn't work last time either. Any help with getting the correct files would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I was able to fix this with DarkGrey by just going through each line and making the corrections (haven't started on Monochrome yet). It seems that someone has sabotaged the downloadable resources. None of the images work either. I'll keep working on them to make it right for me, but this is eating into my class time and I have midterms due this week.

Hi there,

Looks like you have been given a modified (and apparently broken) version of the CSS files. You can download the versions as used in the book here; http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...-DOWNLOAD.html

Cheers.

You are absolutely correct. I downloaded the files from your link and they look correct. The odd thing is that the page that I downloaded from originally looked exactly like the one that you sent. But the content is definitely different. Thanks!

Maybe you downloaded the code for a different version of the book? There were quite a few changes between the ASP.NET 4 and ASP.NET 4.5 versions of this book.

Cheers,
