I have been trying, for experimental reasons, to rename elements of the css but seem to be having problems.

For example I may wish to rename my 'footer' to 'bottom'.

I change each applicable class. i.e. I change all the footer, footer 0, footer p etc to the appropriate bottom, bottom 0, bottom p I have not removed the original footer codes, simply copied each and added as a different name.

i.e

CODE

#footer {
    clear: both;
    background: #ffffff url('images/footer.jpg') no-repeat;
    color: #555555;
    padding: 15px 0;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 80%;
    padding: 30px 0 0 0;
    height: 50px;}
    
#bottom {
    clear: both;
    background: #ffffff url('images/footer.jpg') no-repeat;
    color: #555555;
    padding: 15px 0;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 80%;
    padding: 30px 0 0 0;
    height: 50px;}

#footer a {
    color: #555555;
    font-weight: normal;}
    
#bottom a {
    color: #555555;
    font-weight: normal;}

#footer a:hover {
    color: #668ab6;
    font-weight: normal;}
    
#bottom a:hover {
    color: #668ab6;
    font-weight: normal;}

#footer p {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 3px 0;}
    
#bottom p {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 3px 0;}

but altho it looks fine initially on my pc, when it is uploaded live to the server the display gets totally thrown out with the 'footer', now 'bottom', elements, just displaying all over the place.

What am I missing? Does it have be be a recognised command or something and 'bottom' isnt recognised? I thought you could name elements whatever you wanted to? I Dont have to remove the 'footer' style classes do i? as they are not called upon etc.

Advise appreciated

make sure you upload every file that has changed and clear the browser cache.

make sure the files in the same locations relative to each environment.

make the content expiry is the same on both servers.

Dohh, have a feeling it really is that simple..

I was initially thinking 'well thats stateing the obvious Chrissy boy' but yeah, lol, not sure i did upload the updated style file along with the updated page.

lol - the cache can catch you unawares sometimes if you're up working late, cursed the computer a few times before realising my school boy error!

Been there, done it enough times myself.
