Greetings, I'm new to this forum and to CSS. I have programming background so I'm not completely new to these things. However, I am still experiencing some growing pains. I'm coding a website for my Aunt's sorority. I've borrowed code for a menu from apycom and have contacted them about this issue but have heard nothing from them. When I test the code on my computer everything displays as it should. However, when I loaded it onto a server and went to check it out. The menu appears as a long list, <ul> etc. I've checked and re-checked to make sure folders and files are in the right place but no luck. Can anyone lend a hand? Thanks the site: http://thegraphicsgarden.org/dst/about.html If I've left out any helpful information please kindly let me know. I'm gonna go give the ol' eyes a rest.
menu.css is giving a 403 Forbidden error content.css is loading fine, just not the menu.css could be a "chmod" setting or it may have been uploaded as binary instead of ASCII/txt ?
Vagrant has it right, the CSS isn't loading... 403 land. Though I'd probably combine that into content.css, call it 'screen.css' and stick a media attribute on the link... Though you SEEM to have a bunch of span and div in/around that menu for no reason - though without seeing the styling applied one can't be 100% certain, it's sending up some warning flags for me.
Thank you two so much for your prompt help. I didn't think to check if the files loaded alright or not, a little fatigued after staring at the screen for so long. I reloaded the file as ascii/txt and made progress. However, for some reason NOW the graphics are missing and/or "not all there" during mouseover. This may be related to deathshadow's comment. If either of you or anyone else has some insight please don't hesitate I do thank you all for your time and patience with a css newb. **I have a good amount of C++ and graphic design experience. I'd like to get better at css, though, not just get by, as my code/styling clearly shows I'm now doing. Can anyone recommend a good resource (text/site) to check out? I love to learn! All the best to you all.
same problem dst/images/right.png dst/images/subsubmenu-top.gif dst/images/subsubmenu-top.png etc If you go to your images directory in your browser you will see a list of files. Some such as the twitter / facebook ones load fine, most give 403 check CHMOD and that they were uploaded as binary.
WOW! In one word: THANKS! chmod was the ticket... I always miss the simple things. Even in C++, coming up with algorithms and the rest was NO problem. I just always missed little crap. I wish I could convey my thanks beyond a silly message. But that's all I got. *If anyone can point me in the direction of some good advanced css tutorials/text, that would be most helpful. I'm eager to learn more!* All the best! Take care.
It's a mistake i have made a few times in the past *sigh* so it becomes easier to spot ... when i remember that is for menus i tend to stick with the "Ruthsarian" ones at http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/layouts/rMenu/ advanced css tutorials try http://www.webreference.com/authoring/style/sheets/ http://www.webreference.com/authoring/style/sheets/layout/ ?
