Styles on HTML preview page.

Reply Quote

Is there a workaround solution for the css styles of the body tag being shown in the html view of cute editor for asp? This is a problem where text and bg colors are same or similar. Can a seperate css file be specified?

Thanks in advance.

Try:

editor.EditorBodyStyle = "table { font:normal 12px arial; }"

I am also having trouble with this in IE.

Applying this suggested fix does not work.

If the body is defined as having color:white and background-color:white (using either CSS or HTML "text" & "bgcolor" attributes), then the HTML view appears as a blank page (white text on white background). Whilst I am aware that this is caused by poor markup in the original document, this is a real problem when editing existing markup not created in Cute Editor.

This problem is not manifest in Firefox [but firefox exposes another set of bugs].

I have also tried adding a javascript function (using an input button) that resets the background-color of the textarea to white and the (font) color to black but with frustrating lack of desired results. Whilst it appears that I can access properties of the textarea object, I have so far been unable to change the color of the text using javascript in IE.

Can you give me some insight into how I can circumvent this Cute Editor bug? I would suggest that you don't need to apply any styles to the textarea (black Times New Roman text on a white background should be fine for the html view), but that is your concern.

I guess my question is: Am I able to modify styles of the CE textarea form object using the DOM or can I do something else to fix this?

P.S. This background/colour switching function works fine in Firefox but I don't need it to because Firefox works pretty well already.

ThingFish,

This is a bug in the current version.

Here is a temp solution.

Create a new style sheet file, name it bgcolor.css.

In the bgcolor.css file, paste the following code into it:

BODY {
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff;
}

Then append it to the EditorWysiwygModeCss property.

editor.EditorWysiwygModeCss = "example.css,bgcolor.css"

Hope it helps.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
