Editing CSS

Hey all,
I am still learning css and I need some help. I am designing a websit from a template that has some really good css work. What i want to do is change the image of the computer on this page to a different image which i see is easy enough todo, but the problem is the image then changes on all the pages, because of the css.  So what i need to learn how to do is modify the css so that i only change the image on this one page instead on it changing on all the  pages. Below I have inserted a picture of the what this question is over I am showing the css on the side.
and here is a screen shot of the code view
I know this has to be a pretty simple thing to do I just dont know how to do it. So please help me out on this because you guys know your stuff and i dont.
thanks

ok now I am starting to better understand. I was looking at the html code and not the css code.

So how do I incorporate this line into that css code
*<style type="text/css">*
#divName {
background-image: url (some-BG-image.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: top left;
*</style>*
I am wanting to learn this because I have noticed that alot of templates use css and by me learning how to do this I can create many different page styles that are based on templates without totally destroying the css.

  • Why is the Edit CSS Web Developer toolbar, not enabling Search in Win 8?

    We are using Windows 8 and the Web Developer tool bar is now installed.

  • FCKEditor, edit css, SiteStudio and WebCenter

    Hi!
    Im using a UCM as content repository for my WebCenter portal.
    I uses region definitions in the UCM/SiteStudio 11g when editing and I have added an edit css to the element used in the region definition.
    This works perfect when editing directly in the content server, and it works when editiing in the portal with FireFox, but not Internet Explorer.
    And unfortunally our customer are only allowed to use IE.
    Have anybody seen this problem, that the Editor CSS don't load for IE?

    Hi Muhammad.
    These CSS are generated from your CSS Skin.
    My first recommendation is in dev enviroments disable content compression. Disabling content compression you will see components and style classes applied from skin selectors instead of compressed classes like x1av... etc...
    To disable content compression you have to change in web.xml follow context-param:
    <context-param>
      <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.DISABLE_CONTENT_COMPRESSION</param-name>
      <param-value>true</param-value>
    </context-param>Now, you'll see through firebug what ADF Components / Selectors / Global Selectors to change.
    If you don't know of ADF Skinning please read something about it. It's important know about it :).
    References: https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/how_to_learn_adf_skinning
    UPDATE: More information
    If ADF CSS Skin don't help you to apply or overwrite styles applied then try to set custom "styleClass" property to ADF Components that you want to change.
    Regards.

  • Editing CSS, related files requires save (cs4)

    You know what really Grinds My Gears? (family guy reference,
    lol)
    When I edit the CSS in the right hand panel, sometimes it
    makes the CSS file in the Related Files toolbar not saved with a *
    next to the filename. Sometimes it goes ahead and just saves the
    changes right away. Like most, I'm constantly switching back/forth
    between browsers so CSS has to be saved to see changes.
    Kindofa pain to have to click the css file in the related
    toolbar and Ctrl+S to save before each preview...I haven't been
    able to find out why it "dirties" the CSS file sometimes and other
    times it directly saves to the CSS file.
    Does anyone have any ideas? How to get it to always just save
    to the file?
    thanks

    avibodha,
    Ah! Thanks for the additional details. I see what is causing
    this behavior.
    When a document is opened, DW determines what the Related
    Files are, so
    it can show the list of buttons for each one. But, for the
    sake of
    performance, we do not actually load the files until you
    click on a
    button to view a file. Note that the file may already be
    loaded as a
    top-level document or as a Related File of some other
    document.
    Since you have the "Open CSS files when modified" setting
    turned off,
    then the CSS gets automatically saved to disk *if* the file
    has not yet
    been loaded. Once the file has been loaded, then DW will not
    automatically save it (to avoid writing something on disk
    that you don't
    want written).
    So, you'll need to disable the Related Files feature to have
    DW always
    automatically save the CSS to disk.

    Randy

  • How can I split edit css screen horizontally rather than vertically?

    How can I split the edit css split-screen horizontally rather than vertically?

    Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't have a built in "tile two windows side-by-side" command. There might be an add-on for that (in a quick search, I mostly found add-ons to tile two or more tabs rather than separate windows).
    If that sounds completely off topic, can you describe the steps to get to what you're seeing?

  • Edit CSS in Edge Reflow

    I may have just not discovered this yet, but after all my searches I can't find anywhere that will tell me how to directly edit the CSS in Edge Reflow. So what I am asking is
    a) are you able to edit css in Reflow, and if so b) how on earth do you do it?

    Hi -
    You're correct - the only way to edit CSS in Reflow is to use the Property Inspector.
    thanks,

  • Editing css live...

    I have Studio 8 and am looking at upgrading to CS4.
    My question is, does Dreamweaver allow a way (via Live view) to visually edit css in a live mode. For example if you are looking at a live page I would like to be able to move an element and have the css re-written. I am not great at coding and so the visual aspect really speeds things up for me. Normally I make a change, upload it...and see if it looks like what I want and if not...start again.
    I have tried this app which works great and does exactly that but would prefer to do it all within DW if possible

    Thanks,

    Get Firefox's Web Developer Toolbar Add-On.  With it, you can view any page in your browser, edit CSS code in real time and see browser results right away. However, these code changes are not permament.  They are for testing/debugging only.  You would need to copy your revised code from Firefox into your CSS file in DW code view.
    FWIW, working entirely in DW Design View severely limits your potential.  Start learning basic HTML & CSS first.  Then DW CS4 will be much easier for you to learn.

  • Editing CSS in Dreamweaver.

    Well Im trying to edit a CSS document from a template. There
    is a bunch of sections and I need to find out which change what.
    Well I opened the CSS file in Dreamweaver but it doesn't allow me
    to view in browser... Is there something I need to do so I can see
    what I change on the template as far as colors in tables and
    such.

    A CSS file has no preview.
    You would have to open the HTML file in DW, and select the
    element you are
    interested in styling, then use the CSS panel in DW to see
    which rules are
    applying to that element.
    Perhaps if you post a link to your page, we will be able to
    help you better.
    By the way, such posts are better directed to the DW General

  • Editing CSS rules in SlideShow

    Hello Community,
    I need to create a new CSS rule for the ContentSlideShow from Spry. I want that the title of the headline is in a other color than the other text.
    I want the title "The Expendables" in #429af2 and the rest of the text in white. Can somebody help me futher with this? I already tried to create a new CSS rule by enclosing "The Expendables" with a <div>-Tag named "headtitle", but it does not work if I insert it in the CSS-file of the SlideShow.
    Here is the CSS-code of the complete title "The Expendables - Unsere Kritik zum Action-Kracher!":
    .WLBSlideShow .photo .caption {
    font-size: 14px;
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    color:  #ffd700;
    margin: 0 6px;
    line-height: 25px;
    font-style: bold;
    padding-left: 8px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 265px;
    And here is the first part of the HTML-code:
    <div class="article">
        <div class="photo"> <a href="EDIT"> <img src="Expendables_01.jpg" alt="Expendables" /></a>
          <div class="caption">The Expendables - Unsere Kritik zum Action-Kracher!</div>
        </div>
        <div class="story">
          <div class="banner">
            <div class="title">The Expendables - Unsere Kritik zum Action-Kracher!</div>
            <div class="subTitle">The Expendables - Unsere Kritik zum Action-Kracher!</div>
          </div>
          <div class="content">
            <p>The Expendables - Unsere Kritik zum Action-Kracher!</p>
            <button type="button"><span><span><span>More Info</span></span></span></button>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    Thanks ahead.

    This is one slide of (obviously) several. Is it dynamically created?
    For the specific example you've given:
    "<div class="caption">The Expendables - Unsere Kritik zum Action-Kracher!</div>
    I want the title "The Expendables" in #429af2 and the rest of the text in white."
    You'll need to add a span tag inside the div
    <div class="caption"><span>The Expendables</span> - Unsere Kritik zum Action-Kracher!</div>
    Then the CSS
    .WLBSlideShow .photo .caption {
    font-size: 14px;
    font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
    color:  #fff;
    margin: 0 6px;
    line-height: 25px;
    font-style: bold;
    padding-left: 8px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 265px;
    .WLBSlideShow .photo .caption span {
         color: #429af2;

  • Easily Editable CSS Image Gallery Template

    I'm trying to create a template to hold product thumbnails in Dreamweaver MX 2004 that would allow me to put new products at the beginning of the gallery page... using a float; left: to bump the thumbnails down to the next 'row'... See attached files
    in the current galleries, I've used tables, but find that new products have to be put at the  end of all table cells or I would have to move everything... and would like to be able to easily take thumbnails off the page without leaving a gap... I'm having difficulty wrapping my mind around repeatable editable optionals as well.
    I also want to be able to have the footer at the bottom of the page no matter how many products are on that page and thought I had changed the css for the footer from absolute to relative, but that doesn't seem to be working.
    Any thoughts/tips/hints would be greatly appreciated.

    This might be overkill in this particular situation, but this is exactly the type of scenario for which many will use InDesign server, front-ended with a web client to merge designated content into a template and ultimately yield a PDF file for either display, print, or both!
    The problem of a “typical office worker” using InDesign is that it has a very steep learning curve and there is so much that can go wrong (not that this can't and doesn't happen with Microsoft Publisher or Word as well)!
    One other possibililty would be either a script and/or custom plug-in for InDesign to perform the daily fill-in and/or replacement with minimal user interaction.

    Anyone can save the page locally, including CSS and any JS,
    you don't
    need FTP details to do that.
    The banner needs to go in the element with the class called
    .main-subcontent
    Look in the code for this comment <!-- B.3 SUBCONTENT
    --> and <!-- C.
    FOOTER AREA -->
    The code in-between those comments is the section you are
    after.
    Before making any changes/additions make a backup first.

  • How to edit CSS file

    Hello, I am looking to edit the layout of a few of the themes and I was told this can be done through the CSS file.
    However I don't know how to access the css file, does anyone have any tips on how this can be done, I would appreciate it thank you.

    The CSS files that are part of Apex are in the directory you define as "i" during installation. You can create your own and refer to them in your templates too. These can be stored in the file system or inside the database (in the Shared Components).
    It's preferable to create your own CSS files so that upgrades don't overwrite your changes. It is also preferable to create a new directory for custom css and image files for the same reason. But you can also create styles within the page template header section or even the html header section of an individual page. This is a quick way to develop the css and then later you may decide to put them in a file instead.
    The book "Pro Application Epxress" has a chapter devoted to this sort of work.

  • Edit css for a theme

    Hi,
    How can we edit the css file for a built-in theme? Can we upload a new css file and use it instead of the default css, if so how?
    Thanks,
    Machaan

    I'm not sure, whether you want to create new substitution strings or change the values for existing ones.
    I assume you want to set the values.
    It is rather hard to give you a complete reference here since there are really a lot of substitution strings. As with variables in common programming environments, each of them has a predefined scope.
    #HOME_LINK# for instance is usually defined on application level and its definition is located differently in different versions of APEX: For 3.2 it is
    Shared Components >> Definition >> Security >> Home Link
    whereas 4.0 is organized a little different:
    Shared Components >> Security Attributes >> Home Link
    #LOGO# is a value to be found in
    Shared Components >> Definition >> Logo
    in both 3.2 and 4.0.
    There are several points in the documentation where you find the hints you are searching for, e.g. you find the substitution strings for the scope "page template" documented here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/themes.htm#BABBABDJ (4.0-Documentation)
    The built-in (global) substitution strings are documented here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/concept.htm#BEIIBAJD (4.0 again, look into the version that corresponds to your development environment).

    P.S.: If you intend to define your own substitution strings, the Definition >> Substitution is the right place to look.

    P.P.S.: I found that page which is quite useful when wanting to know which substition variables exist in which context:

  • Edit CSS using Code View when double-clicking in CSS Panel

    In CS4, when I wanted to open a linked style sheet for editing, I could right click or double click any CSS entry in the CSS panel to Go to Code. This would open the style sheet and goes to the line where the rule is defined. It's properly set in the Preference pane to Edit using Code view but hasn't worked ever since upgrading to CS5 and it is a real hinderance on my productivity.
    Does anyone else have this problem. More importantly what is the fix?
    (I noticed this question had been asked before but was never answered http://forums.adobe.com/message/210015)

    OK, I may have found something. It seems to be an issue with template (.dwt) files. Can you reproduce and test this theory?
    When I open a template child page, everything seems to work as expected.  It doesn't seem like I can reproduce your symptoms.

  • JSF Tutorial - can't edit css files

    Hi;
    To edit a css file I ahve to do Open With... Text editor. If I try to just open it, it tells me it cannot find the file.
    ??? - thanks - dave

    We do not have special editor for CSS file. But you can configure eclipse to use "Text editor" as default editor.
    Steps are:
    * Window > Preferences
    * Workbench (General) > File Associations - Add *.css and associate with Text editor
    * Click OK
