I want to use straight css, so when my client chooses an P, H!, H2, etc. in the wysiwyg editor it will automatically format what I have set in my css file, so they won't have to choose size, color, etc. Thanks, Marsha.

I have my css showing up OK in the editor. I have cleared any pre-formatting and applied the new css from the dropdown. After I save my page, it does not update the actual webpage. Also, I am getting the letter "c" showing up at random in the cmsAdmin editor text areas. Any clues?

Ok. Found the problem. I added the css in the editor dropdowns to the site web page <head>:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style {
font-family: Verdana;
}
-->
</style>
and all is viewing OK.

For SEO puposes, how can I have the css show up in the cms editor and get it to allow the css edits with a "linked" css file:
<link href="mystyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Please advise...Thank you.

Hi Marsha

Glad to hear you go that going!

I don't quite understand what you mean with your last question though. It sounds to me like you want to edit the CSS file right through CMS Builder. That would likely be tricky as the file extensions would be a problem. Stylesheets need .css and CMS Builder needs .php

Let me know if I am on the right track and we can further explore the options.

Thanks!

Hi Ross - thanks for responding. I have to have the actual css code in the header for the editor to recognize the css in the "styles" dropdown (inside the editor). It's a long css list and to cut down the code for SEO purposes, is there a way to "link" the css so that the editor will recognize the css in the "styles" dropdown? Thanks,

Marsha

Hi Marsha

Can you try adding your CSS to this file:

/css/wysiwyg.css

That's what the WYSIWYG editor loads. Along those lines, you'll want to link your display pages to the same file so they can use the same styles.

Give that a shot and let me know how you make out :).
