CSS to inline styles

I never thought I'd be asking this EVER. But, I need to
convert CSS styles to inline styles. Can this be done in DW or does
it need to be done by hand?

Here's what I do. I create the page using an embedded
stylesheet. When I'm
ready to publish, I copy the embedded stylesheet into the
body of the page
(immediately below the <body> tag). That has worked
pretty fine for me.

A challenge to Adobe: Allow me to use inline styles in DW by default or I dump DW

Years ago I switched from FP to DW because FP started forcing people to use CSS over HTML. That was FP 2000. I switched to DW because it respected my code... Now that CSS is mainstream and we are all in love with it, DW CS4 decides to throw a bone and tell me to fetch -- forces me to use CSS rules. I am fine with Adobe hurting my intelligence but at the very least I need the ability to convert CSS rules to inline styles. I do a lot of HTML emails for clients and as I am sure you know, Adobe, most [web] email clients ignore external CSS and <style> tag. Or let me put it this way: I simply want to choose between inline style and rules based on type of project. No questions or comments please.
So Adobe, you can remove this post right away if you like, but here is the challenge for you: If in a month you do not update DW SC4 to allow me to choose whether I want to use CSS rules at all + if you do not provide the ability to convert all CSS rules in a page to all inline I dump DW altogether. How's that? Also please check your records and see that I recently purchased your CS4 Master Collection. I am a serious CS4 user and this is a serious challenge.
With DW CS4 you abandoned DW's character of being a TOOL that lets users decide how to code. Redemption period of 1 months starts.... NOW. Tic toc, tic, toc.

Hey anygiven. Appreciate your observations. I also feel that Adobe has lost its way as far as the Web is concerned.
Here's another example from the Dreamweaver Help files. In the second video down on the Dreamweaver CS4 launch screen, called "Live View" (which isn't, BTW), the Adobe talking heads spend a lot of time on how to use a Yahoo calendar widget to create a calender of coming attractions. They make it sound cool and contempo and "next generation."
As a longtime webmaster with a small client who owns a bar & grill on the Oregon coast, I react to this Adobe video in two ways. First, if my client's competition is using Dreamweaver and following Adobe's directives, I'm absolutely thrilled. Couldn't be happier. Here's why. In the Real World, it's crucial to get search engine traffic to the calendars. But if you do what Abobe suggests in their "Live View" (Not) video, you will get just about zero search engine traffic to your calendar because the search engines can't fully index pages whose content changes in response to user actions! Boiled down, if you do it Adobe's way you'll spend a lot of time and energy to get significantly less functionality in your coming attractions calendar, and thereby deliver less value to your client.
So in a way, Adobe's Real World Web cluelessness actually helps me by making Adobe-led webmasters less effective and easier to beat. The problem here -- for me and everyone else -- is that is that Adobe and Dreamweaver have no competition any more. I'd be delighted to stand on the shore and watch the grief on the good ship Adobe from the distance, but I can't do that because in the so-called "free market economy" I don't have that fundamental freedom of choice any more.
I've also begun to wonder about my freedom to express my views here. Last month, I posted a comment noting the basic problem with the Dreamweaver CS4 calendar widget video in the comments section at the bottom of http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-the-dreamlabs/dreamweaver-cs4-live-preview/, and it was deleted by Adobe. As of February 22, 2010, the last comment on the page now reads: "Excellent video." That'll take care of the issue! I paid $800 for CS4 (on top of a shelf load of Adobe products going all the way back to 1992) and I logged in, but I don't get to offer an honest (and helpful) comment if it doesn't support the current Adobe dogma?
I hope that's not the case. I hope there's just some sort of honest misunderstanding here. I also hope that Adobe can appreciate that this is not just empty complaining. I'm not sitting here moving my mouth because it feels good. I'm taking the time out of a very busy morning to offer these comments because as an independent Web developer I believe it's imperative for Adobe to rethink where it's taking Dreamweaver.
Among the issues crying out for Adobe's reconsideration:
* Cascading Style Sheets. CSS is a hideously bad implementation of a decent-enough idea. Because of its inherent design flaws, CSS will never be adopted widely UNLESS people don't have a choice. Adobe should stop making Dreamweaver an agent of Web totalitarianism by removing the webmaster's choices as to how he/she constructs their pages. Just say "no" to the Code Nazis.
* Feature Loss. Adobe needs to start adding features and functionality to Dreamweaver, instead of taking features out as is the case with Dreamweaver CS4. Like the man said, Job One should be to bring Dreamweaver up to the same functionality that FrontPage had 15 years ago in 1995, including all the Web Bot functions. (I realize that it might take a couple of versions to get Dreamweaver up to full FrontPage functionality, but high on my list for the first version upgrade would be a robust threaded discussion group component AND the ability to include blog-like comments at the bottom of the pages.)
Like to see some positive response here from Adobe to these issues that have been raised by longtime, professional customers...

Inline style - decimal value for dimension break designer

Hi all.
I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1 & ADF.
Just to let you know that decimal value in dimension css selectors (like width...) added using inline style break UI designer.
af:tree table -> nodeStamp facet -> column -> inlineStyle -> width:305.0px break UI designer.
Replacing 305.0px with 305px makes everything work Ok.
.0 part in inline style was added by JDeveloper 11.1.1.5, while JDeveloper 11.1.2.1 doesn't add decimal part.
Regards.

Frank, this is i minor issue but it took me 1hour to find what breaks UI designer.
What I did is just migrated adf application from JDeveloper 11.1.1.5 to 11.1.2.1.
In JDeveloper 11.1.1.5, when you enter width using property inspector -> style -> layout -> dimension -> width property, let say 305 and select pixel in side drop down list, what you get as result is inlineStyle property like this:
inlineStyle="width:305.0px"
Frank Nimphius wrote:How would 305.2 pixel look like ?You should ask Oracle to answer this question.
Thank you for your reply.

ADF Mobile : Setting background image using inline style not working.

The snippet is part of my amx page.
But the issue is that the background image is not coming up in the deployed iphone application.
The html source of app page shows that a background image is associated with this component but the location is file:///Users/oracle/Library/Application%20Support/iPhone%20Simulator/5.0/Applications/com.oracle.smartphone/smartphone.app/backgroundrepear.png instead of some Xcode_Project>Far location which I was expecting.
The image is actually present in public_html/icons
And I set the inline style using the property inspector of listItem.

inlineStyle='background-image:url("/icons/backgroundrepear.png"); background-repeat:repeat-x;'>

CSS Panel Disappearing Styles

Since CS4 in my reckoning, the CSS panel has been glitchy, sometimes having some or all styles disappear. Also the style sometimes is not selectable in order to delete but constantly displays the edit name field instead. Selecting and/or hovering over styles has them disappear or indeed all styles disappear.
Why doesn't Adobe address Mac issues? How come there isn't a menu item to direct Feedback?

Css layout or style sheet not showing table layout

When I was working on my website I noticed that my tables don't show up in the browser of my site, they do however, show up in the dreamweaver design so I am wondering if when I was making changes somehow to the site if something in the css layout or style sheet got deleted. Could someone please take a look at it and please tell me what needs to be fixed, I am not at all familiar with css so I need all the help I can get on this here is the link. Thank you! http://angelcoilbartlett.com/index.html

In your HTML document in Code View, remove the following embedded CSS code. This is competing with external style sheet code and causing your site havoc. In the future, don't create any more new styles. You don't need them. Stick with the established styles set up by the original designer and you will have way fewer problems.
DELETE ALL OF THIS NONSENSE:
<style type="text/CSS>

</style>
If you want to continue working with web pages, you owe it to yourself and your employer to learn basic HTML and CSS so you can get yourself out of jam when things go wrong.

How to use inline style for hover, visited

I am trying to use inline styles for a hover effect or a
visited. I know how to do it using a style sheet but not inline.
Is it possible to do this?

That's OK. The chances were 1 in 2 you'd be right. It's
better than buying
yourself a lottery ticket....

Printed documentation missing some inline styles

I'm using RH HTML 7, Word 2003, and my own Word template file. Some of the inline style information is not being applied to the Word output.
Example: In both RH and Word, the Normal style has 14 pts of space before and after the paragraph. In one location in RH, I overrode that and set the before and after spacing to 0. However in the Word document, the paragraph spacing is set back to 14 pts and results in too much whitespace.
Shouldn't this inline style be applied after the external Normal style is applied? Other inline styles (e.g., Bold) work fine. It's just the paragraph spacing that's giving me problems.

Do they appear in Word? What version of Word? Is it always
the same images? How much RAM do you have?

Needless inline styles and span tags

OS: Win XP SP 2
Product: RoboHelp HTML 6
Output: WebHelp
I am finding some instances of needless inline styles and
span tags in some topics in a project. Around these problematic
instances are plenty of instances that have no problem. I used
non-problematic instances as guides for correcting the problematic
instances. Fortunately, RH hasn't overwritten any of my
corrections.
I am concerned about the insertion of needless inline styles
and span tags at two levels. First, I see them as indicators of
inconsistency. Whether the inconsistency is in myself or in RH, I
don't know (but I want to eliminate it). Second, needless code is
wasteful (esp., wastes time in code view).
Has anybody seen this before? Does anyone know or suspect a
cause?
SAMPLE 1
RH6 created: <p><span><span
style="font-weight: normal;">blah blah yaddi
yaddi</span></span></p>
I corrected: <p>blah blah yaddi yaddi</p>
SAMPLE 2
RH6 created: <p style="font-weight: normal;"><span
style="font-weight: normal;">blah blah yaddi
yaddi</span></p>
I corrected: <p>blah blah yaddi yaddi</p>
SAMPLE 3
RH6 created: <p style="font-weight: bold;"><span
style="font-weight: bold;">blah blah yaddi
yaddi</span></p>
I corrected: <p style="font-weight: bold;"><>blah
blah yaddi yaddi</p>

Some of this has to do with how users have applied styles in
WYSIWYG mode; for example, if you double click a word (which
selects the space after) and apply Bold, then later select the word
by dragging the cursor to select only the word (which doesn't
select the space after), RH will usually surround the selected
characters with "normal" span tags and often leave the bold in
place.
This same type of style formatting might have been repeatedly
done in the original form that might have been imported (Word,
Frame, etc.). So, then, if you compound the code bloat from an
imported file with additional formatting in RH, well you do the
math.
I've seen code wherein a six-word sentence might be saddled
with as many as 10-12 SPAN tags and might stretch into 6-7 lines of
code!
However, these are still flat files, not binary; you'd need a
ton of extra code to increase the aggregate file size a lot. Heck,
your graphics will usually take more room than your topics. One of
our child projects has 153 .htm files at 3.25 MB, whereas the
aggregate of .gif, .jpg, and .bmp graphics exceed 4 MB. My view has
always been this: until the underlying code affects the format I
expect to see in my output, I consider extra SPAN and KADOV tags to
be nothing but white noise.
Good luck,
Leon

Inline style problem in Firefox

Hi folks -
CMS prevents access to embedded or remote style sheet.
Is there any way to get Firefox to honor this inline style

cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#7391C3"
style="margin-top=150px">

How to extract inline styles from a PDF document using Acrobat 9?

I have a requirement for extracting all the contents along with the para level and character level styles from a PDF document in the form of XML. While doing so I'm getting lot of additional tags. In addition to that I'm not able to find the inline tags (character level tags) like bold, italics, superscripts etc and the page numbers. It would of great help if someone can throw light on this.
Thanks.

Moved to Acrobat Forum.

Banner image disappears when I move css to external style sheet

If I have the following code in the head of the document, the banner image is displayed:
<link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/copyNote.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
But if I move the above code to the linked external style sheet (css/styles.css) everything shows up except the banner image.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

BcSurvivor08 wrote:
the image path shouldn't change since the image is still in the image folder, right?
Yes, but the path to the image in the CSS must be relative to the location of the external CSS file.
In other words, the following rule in the home page
#banner
margin: 0 auto;
width: 980px;
height: 198px;
background-image:url(images/banner.gif);
would be written in the external CSS file as
#banner
margin: 0 auto;
width: 980px;
height: 198px;
background-image:url(../images/banner.gif);
because the CSS file is inside the css folder (one level down from the root folder).
../ says "From the "css" folder, go up a folder level then look for banner.gif inside the "images" folder..

in my .CSS panel, yet I do see the external styles listed in the
panel. What the heck is going on? Has IS stripped my software so
good that it is not working properly?

ID or type selectors will not appear in that list, since they
are
automatically applied. The only selectors you will see there
are the custom
classes you have created. Can we see your CSS page?
