I have done quite a bit of reading and been able to find an abundance of sources for theming CCK fields the way I want them. My next big hurdle is making those CCK fields on the admin side of things, customized. I don't think it would be the same as theming CCK fields, since they are not rendered the same. Does anyone know of any good sites or resources to help out with this? For instance, I have 3 select boxes when adding content. I would like to style them with image backgrounds and specific text. I can do this with CCK fields, but haven't figured out how to do it on select boxes from the admin side.

I have the devel module installed, which has helped out tremendously. I also cannot style them with just CSS, which would be simple. Does anyone have an suggestions or resources? I would be glad to share expertise and help in return.

Thanks

based on what you are asking for I'd think a custom module that ties into CCK would be necessary.

I was thinking about making a custom module actually. I can show you a screen show of what I am working with, but as long as there is a way to override content, it should be able to be done in theming. I just want some divs with classes to style with CSS. Would it be cool to send you a screen shot?

you can upload the screenshot to a photosharing site and link to it here for others to see and comment on as well.

Here you can see what I have. I want these fields to be on the same 'row' with multiple divs containing all of them, so I can style them with CSS.

use the firefox browser with the firebug addon. Inspect the elements and target those elements with CSS floating them left.

Right...I understand that. Firebug is my best friend. What I am really looking for here is the addition of

's to the already existent ones. So really....I want to override. Its looking like I'm just going to make a module.

Thanks for the suggestion
