What things are called in the css

Hello, I’m modifying the default theme and I’ve come across a few problems that I can’t seem to find the answers to. First, you know how when there aren’t any groups on the website you get the error “There were no groups found.” What is the yellow bar (background of the error) referred to in the css? Second, when you go to XXX.com/members/ you see all the members and their latest update. Is there a way of showing more of the update? It only goes 2/3s across the content area.

Thanks in advance

Graham

I believe the answer to your first question is found in the source code:

`

Sorry, there were no blogs found.

`

So to access that via CSS would be:

`div#message`

If you are wanting to mod CSS on a complicated theme, you should really work with a tool like Firebug in Firefox or developer tools in safari… It will save you an awful lot of time

@grahamwalters,

First download and install the Firebug extension for Firefox. Found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843/

Then get to know how to use Firebug by reading through this document: http://www.docstoc.com/docs/6555469/How-to-use-Firebug
The document is pretty detailed so it’ll allow you to wrap your head around things.

Thank you for all the advice the div#message was the CSS code I was looking for. And let me just say that the firebug plugin is awesome. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it. It’s so helpful!! Once again thank you for a your help, I really appreciate it, and hopefully I’ll be able to finish this theme now.
