Hello all,

Is there any way to use style sheets (css) with the various checkout and
ordering pages?

Thanks!

Yep. We use them on our site (http://www.fitter1.com). I put the
appropriate code into the Universal Header and then copied and pasted the
same code into the appropriate locations for the Cart pages. That way we
get consistent look'n'feel and the convenience of using .css throughout
the site, no matter whether you're on a regular Page, a Product page, a
More Info page or the Cart pages.

I think the reference to the .css sheets _should_ be in the <head> section
of the page, but the browsers I've tested are tolerant enough of "sloppy"
code that they render pages fine if the .css link is in the <body> section
of the page, which is where ShopSite puts the Header code.

You could also create a custom template so that you could put your css file in
the HEAD section.

I didn't think custom templates applied to the checkout and order pages???

It would sure be a good addition to the next version of SS though, to let us
customize the look and feel of the shopping cart, order and thank you pages
as we can the product and more information pages.

Hint hint!

Actually, creating custom templates for pages is only slightly useful
because you can't list products in two column, three column etc. format.
You can easily put .css references into the code forthe More Info pages
however. But by putting the .css links into the header file I can use the
same .css description throughout the site without having to remember which
portion of which page has the links to which style sheet - it's all
consistant as long as I use universal headers and footer.

Hello,

Well, Fred, your first suggestion worked -- mostly. The only problem is when
I use IE 5.0 on my Windoz (PC) machine, and go to the 'Checkout' page I get
an error message that says, 'part of the content on this page is not
secure.' I figured out that it was the style sheet that was causing the
error message, because when I removed it (the link to the style sheet), the
error disappeared.

Is there some place to put the style sheet in a secure directory in Shopsite
that might alleviate this issue? If I use the 'https' in the href, it seems
to work ok on my Mac, and on the Windoz box, but then the style doesn't come
through on the PC.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

George
