I've done something and can't figure out what. When I create a new topic, the header and default text appear as normal (black) in the XML Editor; however, in the compiled topic, they're blue. When I apply a style class (feedback link) using the HTML bar, they return to their normal (black) colors in the compiled topic.
For all topics, I'm using a master page with a breadcrumbs proxy.
I've done the obvious and created a test topic and looked at the H1 and P styles but find nothing to explain why the header and text in a compiled topic appear blue unless I apply the aforementioned style class.

What do you mean by this?dwag wrote:When I apply a style class (feedback link) using the HTML bar
Is the text just blue, or is it a hyperlink? Do you have any styles set to be blue in your CSS?
What kind of output are you generating?

Re: Header and text color change in compiled topic view
Your target is using a medium.
Check that medium in the style sheet also.

Re: Header and text color change in compiled topic view
Thanks for the responses. I have a master page that contains a feedback link created with javascript (user clicks the link in the help topic, and an Outlook message window opens, with my e-mail address in the To: field and the help topic title in the Subject: field. To apply the master page, I right-click the HTML bar (or tag or whatever it's called) in the left margin of the XML Editor, select Style Class and apply the feedback master page.
The blue text is not a hyperlink.
I'm generating WebHelp.
The medium for the target and the stylesheet is the same: default.
Thanks, again.

Re: Header and text color change in compiled topic view
Could you post the source code of the topic in the help (after build)?

Re: Header and text color change in compiled topic view
Here it is. I'm guessing it has to do with the "style="color: #0000ff" part but haven't been able to find where to fix it in the stylesheet. Can't figure out or don't remember how it got there. Sorry, and thanks:
