v7.5 - Style Sheet Example?Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Does anyone know of a good example I can follow to create/change a style sheet? I'm looking to do basic things like changing label fonts/properties, form field colors, etc. I'm pretty new to developing in this environment so I'd like to find a good example to follow.

Thanks for any help!

Jim the best way to do it if your doing just a few things is install the firebug pluggin for firefox and just see where styles are being set. It's a bit of a mine feild and will take sometime to do but it's the best way I found of doing it. Sorry I can't give any examples of what I've done

There are many books available on CSS that would give you a lot of info on how to work with it.
Additionally, if you have a good editor you would get a lot of intellisense help when modifying the CSS.

Now, regarding SLX and Styles, there are a lot of components that load styles from Resources on the DLLs, so even if you make changes on the CSS templates, that may not help you achieve the results that you would expect.

I have had to Implement javascript routines in the Master files to modify styles during runtime in order to match a given Customer's design (off course, trading looks for performance...)

In regards to Implementing javascript routines, this is one way to achieve the desired result, and is a good method; however css does give you the tools to change everything regardless of what the DLL's set; so if you deside not to go down the route mentioned just ask me if you struggle with anything in particular.

The reasons for the javascript is because many places use Images as well.
So, if you want a given area to look in a certain way, you need to use javascript to change it.

Javascript is used for many reasons in the client application. Examples may be images where you need to manipulate the DOM. But it is also used to handle many of the UI elements of the client. Look at EXT and/or JQuery. When it comes to figuring out the CSS specifically just look at the files within the sites CSS folder to see what is set there. At the top of the master files most of the CSS files are linked to the site. If you want to add a new CSS file linkage this is where you would do it. The site itself will not teach you CSS (books and practice will) but you should be able to get the gist of it.
