working with css...

edit the website from the css file

To edit any design use the CSS file only:

If you want to change a color or a font, open the css file. Check the code on your page to determine what the style is called. In the CSS file browse until you locate the style. There you will see hex numbers for colors and font types, etc. When you change them all pages within your website using that style will change to your specifications. This keeps all pages consistent with style.

You can edit a style right from your design window in Expression. Just right click the style in your style pane on your right screen side. Select "Modify Style" and use the CSS popup box. When you are done and you save it EWD will update your style sheet.

Although Cascading Style Sheets can be easy to work with you will still need to be careful with your edits. You need to be very sure that you do not delete and of the punctuation or symbols used to start and stop a style. If you delete these your screen rendering will not look so go. If the stly syntax is not correct it will display your material with no styling attached to it.

You will also notice other styling syntax that effect the position, floats, borders, etc. It is best not to edit these if you do not understand CSS. There is quite a bit to know with CSS but you won't get into any trouble by just changing a color, font, or graphic.

Always make a backup of your file prior to making any edits.
