Styles and CMS

I've gone to great lengths to learn how to add in styles to a CMS site. I got it in (not easy the first time) and they works kind of. When I apply the style it doesn't work how I would think. When I apply the style it doesn't show up in the div the way it did when I made the style in dreamweaver. The position is off or it effected the div size. I'm not sure which one. I checked the css file for div size information and got ride of everything but type styles. After testing I see it didn't change anything. Any ideas how to solve that?

is the CSS Style sheet attached to the PowerCMS pages?

just listing the style in the dropdown does not actually attach the css to the page, you need to adda style tag to import the css in.

Yes, the pages have the style sheets attached. I did all the steps. It does work on the web.
The problem is it's effecting the div tag placement. I have attached the files.

I'm sorry, but I need a little clarification / direction.


What exactly should i be looking for in the pages you attached and linked?

What is out of place, and where do you expect it to be?

I have div tags lined up in the page. When I use CMS and add the style it makes the text look like it out of place and out of the div. You can see the on the link I hope. You would have to open the page and have the css loaded to see the placement of the div's.

I still need clarification.

when i load your page at:
index.php

I do not see anything that stands out as being out of place.

What exactly on that page does not display in the correct location?

Where exactly do you expect it to be?

Sorry, it's the coupon part. I have attached a page to show what I see off the page online. I have also included a picture of what I see in dreamweaver. I have the divs placed ins a specific spot but they don't show up that way on the web. Hope the pictures help.

Dreamweavers design view will not be 100% the same as it is rendered in the browser.

When I view your page, I see a lot of conflicting styles going on that may be contributing to the issue.

You have styles sheets with similar names that define the same classes.

another thing to bear in mind is that HTML Editor applies styles as classes to span elements, when I look at your source, I see:
<div id="Term"><p><span class="Term">Your First 2 month's Rent!<br></span></p> </div>

you have the Term class and Term ID styles applied here.

In Dreamweaver, the term is in bold type.

I do not see any CSS in the term class or ID to bold the text

You are right. The process is a little confusing so I think I might of got lost along the way. I will keep working with the css styles to perfect this styling. Thanks for looking at it.
