Hej,

I am trying to understand what an inherited page does.  Is there someplace I can look for an explanation or some examples?

Yes, see: http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Subpages+and+multi-level+pages and http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Website+Pages+with+Restricted+Access
Basically it is a sub-page that inherits the settings of the parent page.

Let me know if this clarifies your question.

Not really.  What I wanted to know was more details about inherited pages and how they work.  Examples are the best (for me).  I have been looking on the internet and not found anything yet. 

The problem I am trying to solve is how to change the colors for the Navigation block/MainMenuContainer.  I was hoping to find some examples so I could relate them to my problem.

Hm...

We do not use the term 'inherited pages' ourselves so we were not quite sure what exactly you are referring to.

It sounds like you are talking about our CSS customization function, is that correct?

Maybe you can give us more specific - link to a particular page and tell us what color/format you want to change and we can look into which CSS code is related to that.

(It can help to pinpoint the CSS code in question)

Thanks for the quick answer.  Yes I am referring to the CSS customization function and I am using Firefox's Firebug to help identify the sections I want to change.  Hence the wording "inherited pages" as that is what is stated in Firebug (great tool that).

I am able to change the color in the "idMainMenuContainer" but I am unable to locate the rest of the CSS code to make the changes in the rest of the block on the left of the screen.  I have carefully cut out and pasted together on my wall the CSS structure from http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/CSS+Customization  to get a clear picture of the structure(you guys missed a description of the 'idHeaderSeperator" and the "idFooterSeperator")

My site is "expandingu.memberlodge.com" and I am trying to change the main and hover colors in the navigation panel on the left.  How is the rest of the navigation panel created?  I have been looking in the style sheet "classic blue earth" but have not succeeded in identifying the correct items.

Main menu item background and its value for your site:

#idMainMenuContainer #idMainMenu li .d1
{
  background:#EFFAFD url(../images/mm-itm-cec.gif) repeat-x scroll left center;
}

Hover menu entry:

#idMainMenu LI A:hover
{
 background-color: #64AC31;
 color: #FFFFFF;
}

Both entries exist in your custom CSS.

Denys,

Thanks.  Now I understand things better.

When will the 'beta' version of the Advanced Customization tool allow the user to 'preview' the changes like one can do in Firebug without the changes becoming permanent unless one chooses that option?

I am still unable to change the complete menu section.  I have tried replacing the image mm-itm-cec.gif with my own picture NavContainerBottom.gif and it works on a portion of the menu.  If you look at my site expandingu.memberlodge.com you will see that I have only changed a portion of the color on the menu.

I would like to change all of the color on the lower portion of the menu to the same color as on the top or even have it be a gradient color like the original. I guess I need some direction on understanding how/what is being done with the CSS script to produce the bottom half of the menu and allow it to stretch depending on the length of the page. I am reading and reading about CSS (w3school) and other places trying to get an understanding ;-)

Hello,

We are no quite sure what menu element do you mean.

Probably this one:

Vassily,

No, that location is the color that I put in. 

I want the change the rest of the blue area below that to be the same color #4985D5 that I put in.  Even to be a gradient if possible.  The menu contains the menu items and below that is the login in.  That area of darker blue is made someway that I have not been able to understand.  It is that section that I wanted to change. 

Thanks in advance for any ideas you can give me...

Hello again,

It seems you mean this element: #idContentContainer .d3

It's style now:

Vassily,

I have been traveling for a few days and now I am back.

 I am unable to see the #idContentContainer .d3 syntax in the "Advanced CSS Customization" edit field on the left.  However, when I download the code I can see the #idContentContainer .d3 syntax

How do I get the file that I downloaded back into the server, via WebDAV?  If so, what is the file name I need to replace?

Hello again!

Probably there is some misunderstanding here: you do not need to upload anything over the server.

You just need go to "Settings" -> "Advanced customization (CSS)" and enter lines:
