HTML5 Inactive Nav Tab Not Changing Font Color

Post by erinep23 »

I attempted to change the color of the font on the inactive nav tag but it does not appear to change in the output. Any suggestions"? :(

First thing I would check would be the medium. Are you modifying the correct medium?

That's the one that usually bites me when I've had this problem.

I don't think skins have mediums.

I just tried to fiddle around with the font color on the inactive nav tag on a skin of my own, and it worked by just changing the option you have in your screenshot. Not sure why it wouldn't for you.

Are you unable to change the color only? Or does changing other font settings not work, either?

Also, you might want to look around at the relevant classes in the Styles.css in your output.

Sorry I can't be more help.

Have you checked if it works when you click Preview (in the skin editor) or build the output?

I wouldn't necessarily rely on what you see 'live' in the skin editor itself, as it has some bugs/issues; e.g. styles don't always change, and frequent stack overflow errors - which is a confirmed bug relating to the version of IE installed.

HTML5 Skins in Flare v10 have Web/Tablet/Mobile mediums (see the skin toolbar), which are used for responsive output. Judging by the screenshot though, the changes are being made in Web Medium, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Sorry, missed the bit about this being in a skin. Cutting down on caffeine sucks sometimes.

Oh, geez! I didn't even notice the web/tablet/mobile mediums in the skin editor. Thanks for the heads-up. Are those new in v10?

I guess I need to read up on those. It's worth noting that when I edited that particular setting (inactive tab font) in the web medium, it was already changed in the tablet and mobile mediums. Looking at the documentation (http://docs.madcapsoftware.com/FlareV10 ... sGuide.pdf), I see this:

"The Web medium is the default. Most settings in that medium are inherited by the Tablet medium. In turn, settings in the Tablet medium are inherited by the Mobile medium."

So it's certainly possible that changes were being made in either the Tablet or Mobile medium, which is why they weren't showing up in the Web medium.
