Hi,
I am designing a site based on the Smooth Blue theme that comes with geeklog 1.3.9. I have noticed that it use the tag class="blockcontent". Where is this defined? I have been unable to find it in style.css.

Thanks,
Howard

It seems like it is undefined. It's probably a placeholder in case you want to define it yourself in the style.css file.

I hope htis isn't a silly question, but here goes. If it is a placeholder and is undefined, then how does this get interpreted by the browser when the html is displayed? What attributes does it use?

Thanks

I'm sure that the browser sees that it is undefined and thus assigns no extra attributes to that element. It would be the same if the class="blockcontent" were removed.

it seems to me that it is undefined and rightly so. it allows you to set your own style for the content of a block when you add a new block.

for those just tuning in, this appears in the file "blockheader.thtml" on line #10. My guess is that you can now assign a style to the content by inserting a new rule into your CSS and calling it by that name. Other styles have already been defined for the size and shape of the content's holder, or the block, by defining styles in the "left" and "rightblock.thtml" files, etc.

something like that. Wink
