CSS id tags does not work, I think.

[Meemee]

Hello!

I'm trying to make a template for shopsite and after a lot of trial and error, I realized that my CSS id tags don't work(the ones that use a hash(#). Can anyone tell me why or how to get around it?

What exactly do you mean when you say the tags don't work? Are you trying to apply styling to Shopsite-generated classes?

If so, to apply styles to classes, you should be using the

.classname

formatting.

The ones with a hash (#) would only apply to elements that have a corresponding ID property. I do not believe Shopsite uses the ID property.

Also, I believe the distinction is that an ID applies to a one-time section of a page (such as a header section DIV) while classes can be applied to multiple elements.

In a ShopSite custom template if a line begins with the very first character as # then that line is considered to be a comment and it will not be processed during page generation (or shopping cart screen etc.). So if you have styles that must begin with a # symbol put a space character in front of it and then it will be treated as text and not a comment line.
