This window allows you to describe a CSS style that will be used for the controls of your WEBDEV project. This window is used to: - Modify the characteristics of an existing style. All you have to do is select the style, the status and the characteristics of the selected style, then validate.
Notes: - If the style is not "Local" to the control, these modifications will be applied to all the controls that use the modified style.
- If the style is "local to the control", only the style of the control will be modified. However, the style will be included in the HTML page (consequence: page slower to load).
- Create a new style: Click the [Create] button, enter the name and characteristics of the style, and validate.
- Rename a style: Click the [Rename] button and specify the new name of the style.
Caution: this option is not recommended. Indeed, this option cancels all the links between the controls that use the style and the renamed style. For the controls that were using the style before it is renamed, this style will be changed into a "Local" style.
This help page presents the different options available in the "Text" tab and in the "Background" tab. The preview is used to dynamically view the characteristics of the style. A variation of style can be defined for each status managed by the CSS style sheet. The <Undefined> properties use the properties of the "Normal" status. In the "Normal" status, if a property is <Undefined>, the corresponding options defined in the browser of the Web user will be taken into account. Note: Some states are not available for all types of controls. The table below presents the possible states according to the controls and to the browsers: | | | | | | | | | Rollover | Active | Non-visited link | Visited link | First child | First letter | First row | | Caption | | | | | | X | X | | HTML static | | | | | X (FireFox only) | X | X | | Graphic button | X | X | X | X (Internet Explorer only) | X (FireFox only) | | | | Java button | | | | | | | | | Text button | X (FireFox only) | X (FireFox only) | | | X (FireFox only) | | | | Link | X | X | X | X | X (FireFox only) | X | | | Image | X (FireFox only) | X (FireFox only) | | | X (FireFox only) | | | | Clickable image | X (FireFox only) | X (FireFox only) | | | X (FireFox only) | | | | Thumbnail | X (FireFox only) | X (FireFox only) | | | X (FireFox only) | | | | Formatted control | | | | | | X | X | | Edit control | X (FireFox only) | X (FireFox only) | | | X (FireFox only) | | | | Radio button | X (FireFox only) | | | | | | | | Check box | | | | | | | | | List box | X (FireFox only) | X (FireFox only) | | | X (FireFox only) | | | | Combo box | X (FireFox only) | X (FireFox only) | | | X (FireFox only) | | | | Table | | | | | X (FireFox only) | X | X | | Pager | | | | | | X | X | | TreeView | X | X | X | X (Internet Explorer only) | X (FireFox only) | | | | Row | | | | | X (FireFox only) | | | | Site map path | X | X | X | X | X (FireFox only) | | |
Fonts Select one of the available font families. A font family is an organized set of fonts. If the first font is not available on the computer of the Web user, the second font is sought. If this font is available, it is used; otherwise, the next font is sought. The [...] button is used to create new font families as well as duplicate and modify the existing families. Size Select the size of the font. The available sizes are: - A defined size, specified in a specific unit (pixels, centimeters, millimeters, inches, point, pica, percentage, ...).
- A size relative to the current font (when the page is displayed):
- xx-small: Extremely small size
- x-small: Extra small size
- small: Small size
- medium: Standard size
- x-large: Large size
- xx-large: Extra large size
- -1: the smallest size
- +1: the largest size
Decoration Additional options for formatting the font. These options are used to underline the links or to strike them out for example. - None: no additional decoration
- Strike out: the text is struck out: a line is drawn across the text. Example: a
