I have a stylesheet linked to the same page that a CuteEditor is on.  I set the CssClass of the editor to be EDITORBODY where...

 

.EDITORBODY

{

EvilMonkey,

 

Try

 

After doing some tests with your code, I realized that I was asking the wrong question.

 

Going back to my example, if you set the CssClass to be EDITORBODY, then the default font for the editor will be Verdana.  That is, if you highlight a block of text and change the font to Verdana, then there is no change in the resulting HTML representation of the block of text (this has been brought up on the forum before but I don't recall seeing an explanation.)

 

My question is, why isn't this behaviour consistent with font-size?  Assuming that in EDITORBODY I set "font-size: 2;", and then I highlight a block of text in my editor and change the font size to 2, then in the resulting HTML I see that the block of text is now encapsulated by <font size=2>...</font>

 

I realize that this isn't that big of an issue (worse case is that there will be redundant html code in the final result).  The only reason I ask is because I need to understand some of the limitations/flaws of the tool before I can recommend purchasing it.

EvilMonkey,

 

There are two ways to control the Text Size in your web page:

You can use the SIZE attribute of the <FONT> tag to state the desired dimension as a value from 1 to 7. These values don't translate to pixels or points or any of the usual text measures, but the type size you're used to seeing on most Web pages is the browser default of 3. It's not the actual point size.

 

This is FONT SIZE=1
This is FONT SIZE=2
This is FONT SIZE=3
This is FONT SIZE=4
This is FONT SIZE=5
This is FONT SIZE=6
This is SIZE=7

 

The table below shows the point size actually used on your Web page by the major browsers. Browsers listed as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.0 (IE 5.0), Netscape Navigator Version 4.2 (NN 4.2) and Version 4.7 (NN 4.7).

This is font-size: 7pt
This is font-size: 8pt
This is font-size: 9pt
This is FONT SIZE=1
This is font-size: 10pt
This is FONT SIZE=2
This is font-size: 11pt
This is font-size: 12pt
This is FONT SIZE=3
This is font-size: 13pt
This is font-size: 14pt
This is font-size: 15pt
This is FONT SIZE=4
This is font-size: 16pt
This is font-size: 17pt
This is font-size: 18pt
This is FONT SIZE=5
This is font-size: 19pt
This is font-size: 20pt
This is font-size: 21pt
This is font-size: 22pt
This is font-size: 23pt
This is font-size: 24pt
This is FONT SIZE=6
This is font-size: 25pt
This is font-size: 26pt

 

 

 

 

Are you implying that the reason for the behavioural inconsistency of the CuteEditor is because of these different ways to set the font size?  It would be nice to get a straight answer rather than a paste of some HTML specifications, especially when my question is about the behaviour of the CuteEditor and not HTML.

 

My understanding of it now is, if I specify "font-size: 2;" in my Stylesheet, it is the same as if I wrote "font-size: 2pt;"  So in fact I haven't set the default font size to be "2" I have set it to be "2pt".  In which case, when I highlight a block of text in the CuteEditor and change the font size to 2, it correctly encapsulates that block of text in <font size=2>...</font>.

 

Is this correct?

 

You are abosolutely correct!
