Webpage looks differently when published

[Kevin E.]

Hello, I would love some assistance. I am creating a site using one of Dreamweaver CC's templates. It looks the way I want it in design mode, and in the preview (see screen shot below). But when I upload it to http://new.adtsrc.org it shows up differently in the browser. Namely, the block of text does not cover the entire page and the individual services below are justified left instead of centered. Can anyone tell me why? Thanks!

There is a selector called...

.left_article

...on line 101 of your multiColumnTemplate.css file that has a width setting of 60%.

Removing that width setting seems to make it behave as the screenshot shows.

For your text centering issue find the css selector below in your css stylesheet - 6 down from the top and add - text-align: center; (as shown below)

.row .columns p {

    padding-left: 10%;

    padding-right: 10%;

    text-align: center;

}

Hello,

Both of your suggestions are already in my code in Dreamweaver. I guess that's why it is displaying okay in the preview. Are you saying it's not in the code on the server?

In the css file on your server the selector which styles the blocks of text you want centered shows as below. (its the 6th one down)

.row .columns p {

padding-left: 10%;

padding-right: 10%;

}

It should be :

.row .columns p {

    padding-left: 10%;

    padding-right: 10%;

    text-align: center;

}

Yes, I understand what you are saying. In my source code, what you are recommending is there (see below). I guess the question now is why when I upload the page, this is not being updated. Any suggestions?

...and on a somewhat related note, the last time I used these forums, when I posted a question, I used to get an email that a response had been posted. Has that option been removed?

The forum is somewhat shot away at the momemt. There are currently various areas which are not working correctly so maybe the response email is just another one of those problems. Apparently the people at Jive are looking into it.

But it appears you have not yet uploaded the revised 'multiColumnTemplate.css' file to your server?

On my side, and the server when I look at it in Dreamweaver, it is greyed out. What does that mean?

[Kevin E.]

The issue was resolved. At least now I know why it was looking the way it was. The when I would put the page and the css, it was not putting the css style sheets. The window saying that the style sheets had changed on the server and do you want to overwrite would appear and disappear so fast, it would default to no, so the files would not update. Now I need to figure out why my dreamweaver is doing that. I may need to check with Adobe themselves, but if you have any ideas why, I would be open to them. But thanks for your help!
