Hi Vaughn!

Over the past couple of months the team here have been making some CSS demos. You can take a look at them to see the potential of the types of things you can do with CSS on your Ning network:

Hi Ernie,

Thanks for the demo site.

I've tried playing with the css. Please can you help.
Regard the HTML Textbox .html_module, I have more than one HTML Textbox modules on my site.
How do I know which HTML Textbox(es) module(s)?

For example; I used the following code and got all my HTML Textboxes replaced (as expected!)

.html_module .xg_module_head {
background-image:url(https://api.ning.com/files/6rODhie2mfsZVGKDEO2iyvnl9d8e5bimqVTSmAUA...*u37UzcZk9f5Sqf6AWA82G-XLSEUI9-MFxT85maSCNY0QMSVQvgP/welcome.png);_background-repeat:no-repeat;_height:24px;_}__I guess I need to figure which xg_module_???
Look forward to your reply.

Regards
Cher

I would like to embed a blip.tv clip in the wide column of a 2 column site like your demo: http://cssdemo05.ning.com/ but the hack doesn't allow a 740px wide embed. Is there a way to get around this?

[Ernie H.]

Hi Dirt Alert,

The default blip.tv embed looks to be 640px, but I was able to get the embed working inside a textbox module. Can you give me an example URL where you have issues?

Thanks,
- Ernie

Hi Cher!

If the modules are on the same page, there is no way to have different CSS for different modules.

Cheers,
Evan

hi sir ernie..

[Doug Yeager]

if you use firebug, inspect an element and look on the css side for a reference to the "custom" css file (which probably will only be a fragment of the name such as "css?host...stom3.css (line 5)". You can display it within firebug, but what I like to do is to launch it into its own tab and save the file from there.

To follow up, here's what Doug is saying to do in Firebug:

when i put the CSS in the advance apperances it is doing anything. Do I need to put the code elsewhere?
