Hi,

I have entered a few new entries in the CSS-sheet on a site. When entering text in a Text/HTML control the entries are shown in the Styles dropdownlist. After selecting some text and applying a style to them nothing happens. In HTML-view I see a <SPAN> is placed around the selected text and the choosen style is applied to that span but it is not shown, neither in design-mode nor on the 'normal' page. Also the source from IE when viewing the page shows the SPAN and the class, the style is found in the stylesheet so why does it not work?

Thanx in advance!

Hmm, I did resolve this myself shortly after posting the first message but forgot to post the solution. I really can't remember. What I dó remember is this isn't some kind of bug. It had to do with my understanding of how it should work. How does this help you? Not much I'm afraid. But I'll tell you how I do this now without a problem, maybe that helps.

First I create the style in the stylesheet you can edit from within DNN (Admin, Site Settings, Style Sheet Editor).

I add the following style:

.MitchAndCo {
  font-family: verdana;
  color: yellow;
  background: blue;
  font-size: 20px;
}

Now I save the Style Sheet, go to an empty page, add a Text/HTML module.

I first enter the text, then select the text I want to have the new style and select that style in the dropdownlist. Unfortunately the effect is not shown in the editor! I have seen solutions for this but since it involves recompilation I decided to live with this.

Now update the module and probably you won't see the style in effect. Since we have changed a stylesheet which is cached you have to refresh the page to see the effect. And voila, it works.

I kind of hoped I would stumble into the old problem again so I could help you better but 'unfortunately' it works. Hope it helps you anyway.
