Hi all,
I know that for some of you my problem is stupid, but I hope you'll try to help me.

I want to create some buttons on our site, so, I thought about adding additional CSS code (javascript is for a while over my head). And I want this code to be site-wide. But each time I check files in the server, I really struggling which one should I choose.

I know I may check file by file and check whether I found the proper file. But, I also struggling that I may destroy something on the site.

I'm hesitating between html.css, index.css, page.css, site.css, skin.css.
Or maybe I should choose a totally different file.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Joanna

You can add your custom CSS rules to any of them - they are all combined together to create the main CSS file, so you can add to any of them.

Hope this helps!

If you want to just add you're own you can do that too.

First add the css file:
/skin/(your skin)/css/joanna.css (or whatever you want to call it.)

Then in include.php for the skin
/skin/(your skin)/include.php
you'll see all the other CSS files, so add yours to that list
    // Bring in all our CSS files
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore', 'css', 'jrElastic', 'html.css');
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore', 'css', 'jrElastic', 'grid.css');
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore', 'css', 'jrElastic', 'site.css');
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore', 'css', 'jrElastic', 'page.css');
.....
    jrCore_register_module_feature('jrCore', 'css', 'jrElastic', 'joanna.css');

Upload both joanna.css and that include.php to your site, reset the caches and your done.

Thank you :)
As usual, JR team made my day.

I've just tried both methods (Brian's and Michael's) and they work for me.
I guess, from now I will use the file I created. At least I will not have to think which file to update to add my own code.

:)
