I have a site that I’m starting. Actually, I started it in v5 and am now doing it in 5.5. I have a few style sheets. One is for navigation and one is just using the body tag.
No matter what I do, the text I want the body tag to pick up is picking up the navigation style. Even when I click on No Style, it doesn’t make a difference.
What would cause this and how can I fix it?

Count me in on this Hello Dave!
I have made CSS menus and they work well but if I change color or make it bold style. nothing happens. Sometimes it changes and some don’t. and then some will not change color on hover. It is truly making me crazy… any help out there on this. I have made many of CSS Menus and this happens a LOT
Thx

I suspect that these are unrelated Carla - are you using the Action Inspector to change your colours etc?
Also make sure that you are using HTML text as I know that you have used graphic text quite a lot in the past.
If you have a problem page that does not behave as you expect then post a link and we will have a look.

BUT NOW I HAVE MADE A CHANGES IN Action and inspector and it is still not working properly, some things change and some do not… Does everything have to be the same. Inspretor & action?

It obviously helps if they are the same.
Post a link and tell us what we should see.

stie is not live yet
I wil try my best to make sure all style boxes are the same but I must say, there is a glitch in this somewhere. I do not think it is user error. Maybe there is a certain order one must put a style, first action, then inspector and so on… I do not know but it is agonizing, when you change everything then refresh the page and the change does not take. then shut browser, and restart Freeway and still that does not work…
I will keep on trying

Sorry guys. I kind of posted then went out for the night.
Here’s the link: http://k923.net/freeway_tests/k923-about.html
The text in the box winds up being the same as the navigation text although it has no style and should be what my body tag is which is Verdana 11px black.

The text style is being inherited by .navigation style (CSS styles
cascades down the page so unless you change/modify a style it will
remain the same ~ very useful yet sometimes annoying
Why not create a style called bodytext, style it and apply to that
bit of text.

I’ll have to do that, but I’ve never sen that happen before.
Why is it happening? Why is it inheriting it? Body is the the main “style”. Shouldn’t everything start with that? Why would a style I made up take precedence over body tag?
Thanks.

This is how CSS works. As part of the basics whatever style is at the
top of the document remains unless you modify it the styles. The
Cascade Style Sheet flows down the page.
For example the .footer style in your footer text if removed takes on
the same appearance as the white text above. But you have altered/
overridden the menu style with a .footer style.
Once you you have that “Ah ha” moment with CSS styles everything
start to make sense.
Use the Safari Developers Menu, or FireFox / Firebug to analyse parts
of web pages to help understand what is going on.

Thanks for the explanation.
I will delve further into it.
Understanding what you’re doing never hurt, eh?

In this instance you could avoid this by creating a Tag style for your navigation.
If all your navigation stuff was in a Div named Navigation then in the New styles palette you would put #Navigation in the Tag box then tab over to the Name box and delete whatever FW has put in there for you. Add all your attributes below and check that FW hasn’t added a pesky Name back in there before you OK it.
You can also convert/edit your current .navigation style in the same way.
This would mean that the #Navigation style would ONLY target the Div called Navigation.

Voila
I have just found the culprit… … me…or page view on inspector.
After style is set in CSS action , then item with inspector THEN in page of inspector you must put the same styles in links on page, and then it works and will show in browse…
I have one thing to add about this… on my other pages I do not have the page in inspector to match styles and it works fine so it is a crap shoot… That is is what I have found.

So do you mean that you have been setting Link Styles in 3 different places?

I think I did that correctly, but the main body text is still white in Freeway, but apparently black when previewed in a browser.
I’ll just make a new “bodytext” style as you suggested earlier.

Hd to set style in CSS action, inspector palette and when that did not work on page view and hit inspector then set the links
it works fine this way but what am I doing that is incorrect because the other pages did not make mw go thru this

If you have set them in 3 places then it is going to be a crap shoot - whichever applies last wins.

Did what correctly - create a Tag style?
