I have downloaded the Media template (this is a great template design for the company I work at) and am trying to change some elements within the CSS styles. It looks fine in Dreamweaver, however when I load it in the browser it goes back to the original look, color, font, etc...Does anyone have any suggestions or know the answer to this problem.

Thanks

 

I have the same problem. If I delete any piece of text in the travel template the remaining text will not be shown in the internet explorer after using the menue. Only if I highlite it it will be shown once. Firefox works without any problems. You can test it at www.geros.org . I use this CSS script:

html, body, h1, h2, h3, h4 {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
h1 img {
display: block;
}
img {
border: 0;
}
a {
color: #990000;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {
color: #FF7F00;
text-decoration: underline;
}
.left {
float: left;
}
.right {
float: right;
}
.more {
text-align: right;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}

body {
background: #8E0D0D url(images/page_bg.jpg) repeat-x;
text-align: center;
font: 11px arial, sans-serif;
color: #565656;

Can anyone help me plz?

 

Hello!

I have the exact same problem with the travel template. If I remove the picture (the one of Budha), the text is not shown in IE, but works fine i FireFox.

Thanks for the help!
