I bought the template trying to modernize a website, but can not change the headers or background images from your "url..." I know very little about css so your directions will have to be as simple as possible. I haven't been able to change anything except the width of the page.

Please do not duplicate your posts, a reply by me was posted in the other thread so we can determine where your post actually should go. I will delete your post from the other thread, in the meantime we need to know what program you are trying to use. Once we know this we can better assist you.

It is the Coffee Cup HTML Editor build 454. Not the newer version.

Ok, well the first thing to do is get updated to the most recent version as that's the one that is supported for the most part. Usually updating a version will fix a lot of issues right off the bat. Let us know if you're still having that problem once you've done that :)

Also, a good place to start with learning the ropes and at least getting a bit of understanding on CSS and HTML would be:

HTML

CSS (do this base setup before tackling CSS3 as CSS3 is built on this foundation)

I have the 12.7 but do not see anywhere on your website to get an updated version? Is this something that I have to pay for? I see there is a build 456 mentioned in the forums search. Where do I find this to update it?

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Linda, check under Your Account > Your Purchases (at the top right of the menu bar).
You'll see which version you have and if there's an update available. There's no charge for updates :)

Thank you. Can you tell me that if I delete the background image and logo with the "url..." out of the theme and add my own background or logo, they will show up on the page. Or is there another spot on the CSS that needs to be changed? I downloaded the free VSD but it seems harder than the html but only because I haven't played with it much yet. I want to add a multi layer menu and have one in the present website but need to change it from the frames it is in now.

Thank you again. This is just a part time thing for me, we're a non profit organization.

This is for the logo in the upper left (in the CSS file), put your own image where you see logo_img.png:
#logoTxt {
background: url(../images/logo_img.png) top right no-repeat;
background-size: contain;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 1.041666666667%; /* 10/960 */
width: 34.791666666667%; /* 334/960 */
height: 67px;
border: none;
padding-bottom: 50px;
}


The large image with the text across it is here:
Under the main nav html:
<img src="images/banner.jpg" alt="" border="0">

960px wide by 552px high
So you would put your own image in place of banner.jpg.

I've got the responsive version, so I'm not sure if the regular template is the same. I would assume the image sizes, names... would be the same for both templates.

In the Editor, use this feature: View > Split Screen Preview
Click on something in the preview and the code for it will be highlighted. ;)
