Possible Solutions:

Add something to the default_style.css file (the default forum style sheet) and then change your header and footer text to relate to the new style.  Such as:

.mynewtext { font-family:#verdana; etc etc }

Then in the footer code, in the font tag, if there is a style predefined that you don't want to use in the header and footer.. put class=mynewtext.  Understand?  It wont mess with the forum css..  just what you specify to use that class for.

DanVets just asked if it would work using different classes than theones WWF uses, the answer is yes, simple as that... you can use<style> tags on the header.asp too...

btw. All backgrounds on WWF are on the skin file, not the CSS, so Idon't know what you're talking about and I don't think you do neither...

yeah, but if you link a header.css to the header, default.css to the body and footer.css to the footer and the header contains body and table color properties the whole page will listen to the header.css file.. you have to make your own classes or it will fail.. i think that was DanVets problem.. or am i wrong?]]> Sun, 09 Nov 2003 09:35:43 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/adding-a-stylesheet-for-header-and-footer_topic7087_post35508.html#35508 <![CDATA[Adding a stylesheet for header and footer : I had the same issue.

I had the same issue.  I wanted to include the same header and footer from the rest of my site, and wrap that around WWF.  My header and footer had their own CSS associated with them.  I just combined the CSS from my website with the CSS from Web Wiz Forums to get both.  It worked out fine.

Note: When you combine the two, you may need to make sure that WWF CSS tags and your CSS tags do not conflict (i.e. your classes can't have the same name as WWF classes).  I did have some conflicts when I first combined the two and had to tweak it to work as I intended it.  But the results were wonderful.  The average user can't even tell the difference between the forum and the rest of the website (unless you knew what to look for, of course).

Hmm - not sure I understand. Let me re-phrase my question.

  • The forum uses its own styles for formatting.
  • I want to use styles for formatting in my forum's header and footer (the inc files).
  • If I define a couple of styles to be used for this purpose at the top of the header.asp page, will this upset or affect the styles used in the main part of the forum?

an iframe is an inline frame - a frame inside the main window..

if you create a class in your stylesheet (.nameoftheclass) then you can add that to the text, but it wont affect the background as that is on the whole page.. you can change the background of the cell the header is placed in..

in other words, format the text seperately.. thats the only way

Don't know what an iframe is...  Cry

If I link to a seperate stylesheet and only use unusually named styles (i.e. stlyle names which won't be used in the forum) will it upset the forum's css?

I'd like to add a stylesheet link in my header just for the text that appears in the header and footer. Is there anyway I can do this without it affecting the main forum's stylesheet?

Hope this makes sense?

Dan.
