n00b alert - first skin - cannot change background color

Hi, first off apologies in advance but I am pulling my hair out!

I have copied an existing skin and can select it no problem (copied andreasviklund-02-alt1), I have added an image to layout.Master, no problem.

Now I just want to change the bacjkground colour of the page - Firebug reckons it's in pagebody - looking in skins.config it includes styles.css and this has 2 instances of pagebody class - so I change both the background-color: #000000; but I cannot see any difference on the page?

I must be missing something very obvious.

Please help a poor n00b!

Thanks

Adge

Hi,

Make sure the body in your layout.master has the pagebody class assigned like <body class="pagebody"> and when working on your design you need to disable both server and browser caching of the css as indicated on this page:

After disabling the cache you will need to clear your browser cache at least once.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Changing the web.config settings did the trick. Thanks so much.
