Cleaning up multi- CSS files

Hi Folks!
I have build my first RH project (Webhelp and AIR) by importing topics from an existing system. Initially, Imported all my topics and THEN organized them into folders and build my TOC from the folders.
We need to cleanup the existing master .CSS. I just went through all my topics in an External Editor (Ultra Edit - hightly recommended) to make sure that all topics point to the top level .CSS which I just sent a team mate who is working on the "branding".
The other .CSSs are in the system, but I can only see their folders via Explorer. Can I delete them from explorer or is there another preferred way to remove them from the system. It seems silly to have to maintain multiple copies of the same .CSS
Suggestions please.
Ed

Thanks Peter!
I double checked and deleted the pesky duplicates. I have also learned that paying a bit more attention to the paths in imported .html can save lots of cleanup. This proves true for both .css and images.

Dreamweaver is randomly deleting my .css file and then crashing...need help ASAP!

I use Dreamweaver CS 5.5 at my job. I just built a new website for the company using it and for a while, it was deleting the css file completely while in dreamweaver, but it had the little * next to the title like it hadn't been saved. i would usually try to close it without saving or crashing it which is normally does after this happens. So far, the css files have not been totally deleted...yet. I'm not waiting around for that to happen before I try to fix it. I've searched google and the forums and have found nothing or any related topics. I had my computer completely reformatted and that seemed to have fixed it for a short time. Now I'm on another web project and it's doing it again, but this site is bigger and more important than the last, and I don't have as much time to work on it. Has anyone come across this bug at all? I need to get this fixed ASAP...I would really hate to lose my files. I tend to hit Ctrl+S instinctively these days and i'd hate to do that while it's been deleted. not to mention the downtime of restarting Dreamweaver only to have it do it again 5 minutes later.
Computer specs:
Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-Bit
Dreamweaver CS 5.5
24GB RAM
intel Xeon X5650 @ 2.67GHz/2.66GHz (2 processors - 24 cores)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 570
Please let me know if there are any solutions to this. Thank you!

Hmmmm.... When file content randomly disappears, it's usually a symptom of something much deeper -- like a nasty Trojan/Virus, a failing hard drive, bad CPU or corrupt user account.
You can try the usual DW solutions below, but I think you might want your IT guys/gals to run some diagnostics on your computer.
#1 Ensure your CSS & HTML files contain valid code. Use the W3C tools below.
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
http://validator.w3.org/
# 2 When DW starts acting weird, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
#3 If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences
http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html
#4 If all else fails, use the CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

Multiple Spry CSS files?

I'm wondering if it's possible to have more than one style
sheet for, in this case, Spry Tabbed Panels. I'd like to have a
couple of different looks for tabbed panels in the site on which
I'm working and want be able to do that will CSS. So...
1) Is it possible?
2) Is there a specific naming convention, (i.e.,
"SpryTabbedPanels1.cs")?
3) Presumably they would need to be stored in the SpryAssets
folder???

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

Problem with CSS files when placed in multiple locations.

Hi,
In our application we have a folder structure for the code files. Folder structure looks something like the one shown below:
ABC
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
DEF
Scripts
Stylesheets
Common
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
The problem is, if we create a CSS file and place it in its module specific folder (Eg: ABC) to which it belongs to and call the CSS on a page, then the styles are not getting applied to the page. But if we move the stylesheet to the Common folder, then page renders properly. In common folder, we already have a common CSS which is used across the project.
Facing similar problem with module specific and common js files.
We have to move all the module specific files to the module folders and all the common files to be placed in the Common folder.
MII Version: 11.5
Please help!
Regards,
Rajesh.

Rajesh,
Also note that, If your html is referencing to multiple css files then the last referenced CSS file style classes will override all the style class having same names in the previous css files.
for example,
say CSS1 has
.bodycolor
background-color:yellow;
.button
color:red;
h1
font-size:50pt;
and CSS2 has
.bodycolor
background-color:red;
.button
color:yellow;
And your HTML is,
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css1.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css2.css"/>
<title>CSS Test</title>
</head>
<body class="bodycolor">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<input type="button" class="button" name="B1" id="B1" value=" Click " size="50">
</body>
</html>
In this case the classes "bodycolor" and "button" will be overridden by css2 file but h1 will be taken from css1
Hope this helps!!
Regards,
Adarsh

Removing warning for "Default CSS file not found."

I am getting this warning in Flash Builder:
"Default CSS file not found."
I can not for the life of me figure out how to get rid of it. Any suggestions?

Default css file can be specified as a compiler option (per SWC, I think).
See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=compilers_14.html
For example, flex framework has a default CSS file: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4\sdks\3.5.0\frameworks\projects\framework\default.css
Do you have some library project or a swc with default css file option turned on, but the css file is missing?

Hello Everyone,
I am new to SAP Design Studio. I am working on creating dashboards and I am using Design Studio 1.2 version. Please suggest some solutions for the following issues. Thanks in Advance.
1. External CSS file which is embeded using custom CSS option under "application component properties" is not working.
* I kept the external CSS file inside repository-> my application folder.
2. During runtime, getting javascript error while selecting '-' option from filter panel.
3. Unable to select or type dimension name under "dimension filer component" properties.
4. Getting runtime error for dropdown list, and I have inserted the following code under "onStartup" option of Application component properties.
"DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("PRODUCTREF", MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 20));

Right, you can't put IdocScript in css.
You can use the Web URL Map though to make urls that are easy to deposit in CSS.

How can I specify a different css file for mobile browsers?

I'm experimenting with updating our website to be "mobile friendly". I could use some help.
We use a lot of static HTML landing pages for things like links from email ads, etc. What I'm trying to do is have 1 landing page so the content/html page is always the same, but the page will detect what browser/device you are using and then load a different css file depending on what it is. But, we don't want to have to load the style info from the PC version if you're not on a PC.
What I'm doing now is specifying the media type in the css link, like this..
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)" href="mobile.css" type="text/css">
What's happening is it's loading the main stylesheet first, and then the 2nd one changes some styles if you're on a device with a max width of 480 pixels (like an iPhone). But since it's loading the PC styles first, it's making some things look screwy.
So, is there a way to say "If you're on a PC, load this stylesheet. If you're on an iPhone, load this one instead." .. without javascript? I don't trust javascript too much on mobile devices. I feel like this some simple little thing that I'm missing that will make it all automagically work.
We don't want to have different content depending on the browser, just different stylesheets. Can anyone help?

Hi
Would it be better to do 2 different stylesheets, or just one big one and add a section at the bottom like:
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { .styles {whatever: styles;} }
2 separate style sheets are recommended. The reason for this is that the Safari mobile browser, (as used in iPhone etc) will download any/all images specified in a style sheet even if they are not used or specified in a media-query rule, this is a know bug with that browser.
I'm also having a new issue where the style "clear: both;" doesn't seem
to be working right. I set up my top horizontal menu using float: left,
and there's a lot of links so on the smaller screen it wraps, which is
fine but now the wrapped links are floating over the page content...
This is one of the reasons that floats should not be used in style sheets for mobile devices, the only exception I know of is for small typographical feature such as 'pull-quotes', (and never use float: right;). It is also recommended to include a menu at the bottom of the page, (or at least a link back to the top).
It works, if I have the iPhone as portrait it looks great, but if I turn
it to landscape, everything is zoomed in. But if I switch back to
portrait, everything is the right size. Is there any kind of way to get
the landscape to have the normal zoom level? I know I can do
"initial-scale=1.0", but that is just for when the page loads, not if
you change it afterwards...
I have heard of only one recommendation to fix this and that is a page refresh on resize, but due to bandwidth limits now being implemented by many providers it is probably not a good idea, you could try setting -
maximum-scale = 1.0
as well.

[Web] Is there a way to generate more than 1 CSS file?

Obviously using model.appearance. with AddCustomCSS lets us generate a CSS file.
I could create an AddPage file that uses maps nonCSS values into a pregenerated CSS file. The problem is that live_update doesn't handle these well.
(if someone wants to write a more indepth look at doing stuff in Live Update, that would be fine with me, not to mention Matthew Campagna and John Beardsworth)
Is there an alternative way, or are we restricted to one CSS file per model section? why do I need more than 1? iFrames. I don't want the same body values etc inside the iFrame HTML.

Let me put it another way:
What would I need to add to live_update.js to have nonCSS values force a refresh?

Safari not loading .css files / hanging page load

A bit of an odd one this...
I'm having a few issues a couple of websites in that the page takes an age to load - and when (if) it does, the CSS file hasn't loaded, so the page is unstyled.
One page is http://www.liverpoolfc.tv - the main page and the advert page before it both have the same issue.
From the activity report, this is because the browser is not completing the download of the file http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/lfc.css - although this will download fine if I download the file not as a part of the site.
The (Safari) activity report shows that the page's .css file is stalling, in this case at 8.0KB out of 8.6KB - this is consistent each time I try to load the page.
The problem occurrs in both Safari (3.2.1) and Firefox (3.0.6) on Mac OS X 10.5.6. It also happens with the current version of WebKit and Camino. The computer is up to date on all other relevant patches, including the recent Security Update, Java Update 3 and Flash.
I'm experiencing this problem with another website, again with the .css file not loading.
Similarly, I have two computers (both the same versions of software) and the problem is consistent between them.
What I've tried so far...
- resetting Safari
- deleting the cookies manually
- using a proxy server
- starting Safari in Rosetta
- using a copy of Safari without any user preferences (via the System Admin login)
None of these have made a difference. However, given that this is a problem across Safari, Firefox etc., I suspect this must be an issue in a shared component.
Any thoughts?

1. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
2. From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane. Test.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.
