Title: Need to learn CSS?
Post by: wen on January 09, 2024, 11:45:48 PM
Need to learn CSS?

Check out this page:

ihttps://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp? filename=trycss_website_layout_navbar

copy and paste code on the left
click the "RUN" button
See the results on the right
make changes and hit the button again, over and over

Play around with the css and browse the whole site.(there's a Home button, upper left) You are guaranteed to learn some CSS and html and javascript...
They have a lot of info relating to web development.

***I had health issues that wiped some of my memory, so I go there often myself. Gone are the days of bookkeeping and easy website tech. Web development is super hard now, but I keep on keeping on. And I make lots of notes. ;)  :)

Edited to ad:
Use cpanel, scroll to File Manager

public_html/storefront/view/default_html5/stylesheet/style.css

That's where most of your design settings, css is.

I'm using the bootstrap5 theme and can't find the area to change the nav bar from black to a different color. I looked through all the style sheets and there are so many called .css. Confusing to know where exactly to go to change the colors to the menu. Also, I don't have a file called default_html 5 in my CP file manager in the storefront settings.

Hello.
Use browser inspector to check element you want to change https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/7569496/Debug#Debug-Browserinspector

Thanks so much for sharing this!
Well, W3Schools is definitely one of the best places to get hands-on with CSS, especially for beginners. I really like how easy it is to test and tweak code right in the browser.
Great tip about checking the style.css file in cpanel too-super useful for customizing site design directly.

W3Schools is great for hands-on learning, super beginner-friendly. I used it when I was getting back into web stuff after a long break, and it helped a lot. Tweaking the code and seeing instant results really makes things click. Just keep experimenting and don't be afraid to break things, that's how you learn.
