Hi there,
I have a problem with the template I am using JA Helio. Everytime I modify things in the css file or add images or even changing the logo they do not appear unless i leave out the www’s.
eg. instead of typing http://www.site.com
I have to type in site.com in order to view changes.
Can someone please shed some light on this matter.
Thankyou.

Ok, now we’re talking.
So, from what you are saying there are some selfmade CSS mods on http://www.superb.com.au/Site but they are visible only if you access the site like this http://superb.com.au/Site
1 – I can’t access the site at this address http://superb.com.au/Site
2 – Tell me more about what you try to achive by CSS. Colors, fonts, width, etc
Something like that. Im actually having this problem with two websites. For the first one you have to type in http://www.superb.com.au/Site first and now the changes appear. But I would like you to check out this one for me please.
Type in http://www.mgservices.com.au first and you will see that the logo hasnt changed. But when you type in mgservices.com.au you will see the logo appear.
What Im basically trying to achieve is different colours, to customise it and if we cant see the changes quickly its going to take ages.

I see, for some reason I still cant see the changes unless I remove the www’s Could it be something to do with my PC? settings

Not really your PC but your browser.
Have you tried another one? Opera, Safari, Firefox? Don’t rely on IE. To be honest, IE it’s the worst browser ever made.
Get FF or Opera and check it out.
Try to ask some other friends to test for you, try another PC and don’t mess with CSS too much.
There are rare problems with the domain names and misconfigured webservers / config files but I can’t think of any related to CSS as the paths are internal only.

Where is your site hosted, this could be a server misconfiguration
this is because the browser is seeing the www and nonwww versions of your site as two separate websites. All you need to do is edit your htaccess file and add some code to it.
This is called a 301 redirect.
rename your htaccess file from htaccess.txt to .htaccess
make sure you have the dot.
next add this code.
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
and then add this code
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomainname.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomainname.com/$1 [R=301,L]
make sure you change yourdomainname to your domain name.
this should solve the problem

I see the same things no matter how I type it in. I see the first image of a man holding a stop sign but when your flash wording begins to rotate, I see no other images. All I see are Xâs where images should be.
As far as you not being able to view the image, Iâm guessing it is your server. Who are you with?
And are you using Explorer or Firefox? If using Firefox I often have to hold down my âshiftâ key and hit my ârefreshâ button at the same time. This will show changes while designing. If that doesnât work then I go up to Tools (in Firefox) and down to âClear Private Data.â I then close Firefox and come back in. It doesnât do this to me all the time but when it does my images will appear.
I tried that mj, but i didnt see any differences.
