Changed style sheet properly, text is always BOLD?

EdlineTS · Post by **EdlineTS** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 11:32 am

Hey,

Anyone know why, when you go into the Style.css and change a tag (in this case it is td for table data/text), that it would continue to make my text bold, even though I have changed it in the style sheet to be "regular" in the properties? This isn't just happening for me when I start a td line, it happens pretty much with every row of text I start to type, regardless of whether it's a p-paragraph, td-table data, p-indent-paragraph indented, tag??

Thanks,
Rob

Create a new project and see if it happens in your new project as well (it shouldn't). Then compare the text of the CSS files in the two projects to see where the problem lies. It sounds like you may have set a property in the BODY element, but I can't be sure.

If you don't see anything in the stylesheet in the <body> or <html> tags, then open some topics using the Internal Text Editor, and see if there's an inline style set on the <body> or <html> tags (most likely on the body tag). The inline style will override the stylesheet setting. And if you're using custom templates, make sure you don't have the inline style set on your topic template.

Also, if you're using master pages, make sure you don't have an inline style on the body proxy in the master page.

Hey there,
Thanks for the info. When you say "body" element...can you please clarify? I have looked at both the 'body' and 'html' tags in the CSS, and neither appear to have underlining in them? And, I have looked at the inline properties in the text editor, and it is not showing underlining either!? Ugggh....

Thanks again,
Rob

He means the body tag. Are you using a master page? If you are, did you check the bodyProxy style in the stylesheet and inline in the master page itself?

I also want you to check the

body {
...
}

declaration in your style sheet to verify there are not any settings there that might affect all the content that is a child of the body tag (which is basically everything you see in your editor).

A very good way to check all your CSS stuff, and which style has come from where, is to use the Firebug add-on for Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... sions/1843

If you use its Inspect option, you can click on an item on your page and it'll show you all it's properties and which style (and stylesheet) they came from (so you can trace any unexpected inherited styles).
Even if you don't normally use Firefox, it's worth installing just to use this - I couldn't have made my stylesheet without it.

Just a note about Firebug: it currently doesn't work with Firefox 3.01. Hopefully it will be updated soon....

The older 1.05 version doesn't work in FF3, but the new version 1.2 (in my link) should work.
I use it with FF 3.01 without any problems.

Odd that FF's update feature doesn't find that - but thanks for the link.
