Question

background color in CSS stylesheet

Can someone tell me why my background color in Dreamweaver shows up on my unpublished page, but does NOT show up after it's actually posted?

    body {
    	background-color: #336666;
    }

     

    Try uploading your CSS file with FileZilla FTP client. 

    If it fails to connect, you have a permissions problem at the hosting level.  Contact your hosting provider.

     

    If it does work, then keep using FileZilla to transfer your files.

    Birnou, thanks for your quick response.

    No, I did not publish the css. But I have never had to do that before. 

    Right now I have bigger problems. I posted another request regarding needing a tutor to help me with signing in to my service provider. I think my site management entries are wrong, and my service provider does not offer support on DW. I'm stuck and willing to pay a freelance tutor. I'm getting various error messages all centered around the ftp entries.

    Please don't mix topics.  What's the URL to your site?

     

    That might help me ascertain your other problem as well.

    If you want a quick answer, post the URL to your online page.

     

    Failing that, it could be many things:

    • An undefined local site folder resulting in bad paths to assets.
    • Invalid code, HTML or CSS.
    • Failure to upload dependant files to the proper location on your server.
    • One or more of the above.

    once the update was done did you publish all the needed files on the server too... CSS, particulary ?

    I did not. I've never had to do that in the past, so I didn't think I had
    to.
