Installed new light fixture won't turn off at switch
Replaced light fixture. All wires are hooked up correctly. turn on the breaker box and it comes on. go to light switch and try to turn it off nothing happens. Bought a new light switch again nothing happened. Only controlled at breaker box. What do I need to check

Did you change any splices at the fixture box besides the ones directly involved with the fixture? It sound like you spliced a constant hot into a switch loop.
Was there a white spliced with a black when you took the old fixture down?

Light
A cable consists of a black, white, and ground wire encased in an outer sheath.
We need to establish whether the power cable for this light is routed to the switch box or is it routed into the ceiling box?
How many cables in the switch box?
How many cables in the ceiling box?
