Side Block Background
I am working on a updating a site that has three right sidebar menus. When I changed the text on one of the side bar menus, the custom background went away. I have very little experience in this so I haven't a clue where to start to replace the lost background in the side bar. I have compared the code from the two existing sidebars to what I have on the revised one, and they look the same. What am I missing? The link to a page that features this issue is here:

ANy assistance on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

block ids
Hey - this isn't quite the right place to ask - you should start with a post of your own instead of replying to Kevin.
That said - look at your block ids. You've got it set up to give "#sidebar-right #block-block-4, #sidebar-right #block-block-5, #sidebar-right #block-block-6" the background decoration, but the last of your three blocks is "#block-block-16".
My suggestion is to change your rule to be "#sidebar-right div.block-block" instead, which will cover any block you create with the block module. (Or even "#sidebar-right div.block" to cover any block.)
If you're not using Firebug, I suggest installing it - it let me immediately click on and drill into the css affecting your blocks, allowing me to see how they differed and which css styles were being used.

re: block ids
I second that. I used firebug to reach the same conclusions.
Thanks
I'm an idiot today! Thanks for the reply and information. and sorry for posting in the wrong section.

Re: Side Block Background
Dave -
The offending block ("limited time offer") has the same CSS classes as its working counterparts, and an id of "block-block-16". (The other two are "block-block-4" and "block-block-6".)
Looking at your (ginormous, machine-generated?) CSS file, background parameters as supplied for block-block-4 and block-block-6, but there are no CSS selectors at all for block-block-16. Which is sufficient to explain your problem.
I'm curious what theme you're using, and how the CSS file got to be so big. It's >35,000 lines, and 676KB. That's a lot of CSS!
Hope this helps.
Regards,
DJ
Side Block Background
Hi DJ,
Man I haven't a clue about the css. I had this kind of dropped into my lap with a boss kind of breathing down my neck to get all their updates finished. It was an already functioning site and All I have done was add a column in the product tables and then edit the flash on the home page. They then wanted the change to that side Block button and that's when stuff went well over my head. In looking at the themes list there are two selected. a Garland and a Loadlabs by Prototest theme. Which I think is the custom theme set up b the original developers.
The info you gave does give me a very good place to start so i will get in there and see if I can remedy this issue using the path you opened for me. Thanks Very much DJ!

outdated css
your css has that background image sprite for block-block-4, block-block-5 and block-block-6, but that last block with the missing background has #block-block-16.
just update your css file with the correct block- change 5 to 16.
...or you could be less specific and use the class count-1, count-2, count-3 instead of the id.

This site uses the Zen theme
This site uses the Zen theme and most of the CSS comes with the theme although when this site was created a bit more was added.
New to Drupal
Hello Group,
I am new to Drupal and am having a difficult time using "storm". Fore example, I created a provider company and a few customer company's. Under each company I created people. When i create a task, and select an organization, the only people it lets me assign the task to are people that belong to the organization i selected in the task. I would like it to only offer people for me to assign the task to that belong to the provider organization. Is there a way to fix this? Thank you in advance for your time and support.

node_access
Hi,
I'm a newbie as well and I was wondering about using node_access what an example might be for $account. For $node I can clearly identify content types that match, but how do I find account?
If it pertains to individual accounts I would prefer to use a role instead.
Thanks
