X-Cart forums

Hi All,

I am a newb when it comes to X-Cart, but I do have some programming experience as well as HTML. But design, graphics, CSS, layout, all that stuff just has me confused. I have two questions for now.

1. I was editing my help zone pages and for now, I have them written up in plain html. Nothing fancy, just a breif introduction and the an ordered list answering FAQ questions. This can be seen here.

My question basically is, say I want to make the FAQ have the question in bold text and the answer to be say in a small floating box with a different color background, how do I get this done in CSS? I have been fooling around with the style1.css file, but I really find it a mystery. I think for some people this is trivial, so maybe some explanation would help me understand this concept.

2. Secondly, another CSS question. On the top of my pages I have a nav bar with buttons (HOME, ABOUT US, etc.). These are currently not rollovers, but plain boxes with white writing. Can this also be achieved via CSS? I would like to take out any extra graphics so it will speed up the site. Appriciate all your help in advance.

Honestly your best bet is going to be to pick up a CSS book. The O'Rilly books are excellent. You can also find quite a bit of info on how to correctly use CSS by simply Googling it.

Thanks. I started some online tutorials at Webmonkey to get the gist of it. Hopefully it all works out.
