How to change text color in CS4

Hey everyone. I know I'm not fluent in Dreamweaver, but had DW8 before upgrading to CS4 and I'm pretty handy with it. In version 8, if I wanted to change a text color, I simply highlighted the text and picked a color. No worries.
However in CS4, I seem to be only have that ability in my CSS properties, (not HTML properties). Then when I try to change the color, it gives me a dialogue box asking questions such as "new CSS", "for this page only", etc. and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do.
Can someone tell me in a user-friendly way (step-by-step), how to simply change a text color on a page? I went to the help topics and it said to use the 'color-picker', but that takes me back to my original problem.
I'm either doing something terribly wrong, or ADOBE has made a simple task into brain surgery!
Thanks in advance for assistance!
Mark

Beginning with CS3, DW became more compliant with W3C web standards which call for content (HTML) being separate from style (CSS).  Thus you now have two properties boxes: one for HTML content and another for CSS styles.
Create a few CSS classes using the CSS style panel.
CSS:
.red {color: red}
.blue {color: blue}
.green {color: green}
Highlight a word or sentence on your page and apply the appropriate class to your HTML.
HTML:
<p class="red"> this is red text</p>
<p class="blue"> this is blue text with <span class="green">GREEN WORDS</span> in the middle</p>

  • How to change the color of the text field of form

    Hi ,
    Is there any way to change the color of the text field of the form........
    Thnx in advance .......
    Cheers,
    Eman

    Hi Bob. I'm new to these forums and I'm not sure of protocol and exactly how this is supposed to work, so If I'm doing this wrong then please excuse me and let me know.
    I liked you solution on 'How to change the color of an Item on a form' using <blink>.
    I'm new to this application and coding as well so its kind of foreign to me.
    Working on a Report Page,
    I would like to have item, :P1_JOB_NO blink when the difference between sysdate and :P1_DATE_DUE < 7 days.
    I can identify the job_no which should blink by using the sql statement:
    SQL> select job_no from oax_projects07 where
    2 (sysdate - date_due < 7) and
    3 emp_name = 'GARY PILKENTON';
    JOB_NO
    20060627 050
    But I dont know the proper syntax to make it blink,
    or when to plug the syntax into.
    ie, is it a process, a validation, etc.
    Do you have any advice for me?

  • May I know how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box?

    Can anyone tell me how to change the color of texts inside the indicator box? I have tried to use property node but not really know how it functions.
    In fact, I am writing a program for which the number inside indicator on front panel will show red color if the measured value can't reach the requirement. I am using LabView 6.1 Professional
    Thank You for your attention!!!!!!

    Simply use a property node with "NumText.TextColor" and wire the correct color depending on your test result.
    The attached simple example (LV 6.1) lets you change it from the front panel. In your case, you would use your test output instead of a FP switch, of course. Message Edited by altenbach on 05-25-2005 09:05 PM

  • Easy one I hope: How do I change text color?

    For the life of me I can't seem to find anything with a color pallette (except for background fill). I need to change text color but don't know where to find it.  Everything's always black. When I highlight the text, and goto "Font", I see something that looks like the "Select Text Color" (like the one above but as soon as you mouse over it, it turns to a crossed-out "ABC", and can't get the pallette.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Question: Are these fields that you had changed the type of in the Object Pallet/Field Tab/Type ? If so, try deleting the object and put a new one in its place from the Object Library.
    If no, what sort of parent do these items have? Table Row? or SubForm?
    Good luck!

  • How to change background color in online editor

    How to change background color in online editor

    Jeff,
    if you try to change all the plsql keywords to the same background color (that is not either white or black or blue) via the options panel in SQL Developer (Code Editor > PLSQL syntax colors), you will get the new background color in the worksheet only for the areas with plsql text, while the areas without any text will have the same background color as the base color scheme you started with. This means that there is no way to change the "general background" color via the options panel, but you have to use the same background color of one of the predefined color schemes.
    This seems to me a bug, but probably it's not considered high priority, so it will not be fixed for the time being.
    I would like to stress the fact that being able to change the color scheme of the development environment that you use every day about 8 hours a day can make quite a difference on your eyes at the end of the day.
    Thanks,
    Paolo

  • How to change the color for HTML words in JEditorPane?

    Hi Sir,
    In the JTextPane , we could change the word's color by using:
    Style style = doc.addStyle("test",null);
    StyleConstants.setForeground(style, Color.red);
    doc.setCharacterAttributes(10,20,syle,true);
    we can change the text into red color,which range is from 10 to 30.
    But how to change the color for HTML words in JEditorPane?

    Hi,
    you can use an AttributeSet to apply the foreground color. Let's say, doc is a HTMLDocument, then SimpleAttributeSet set = new SimpleAttributeSet();
    doc.getStyleSheet().addCSSAttribute(set, CSS.Attribute.COLOR, "#0D0D0D"); would apply a color to a given AttributeSet. The AttributeSet with your color then can be applied to a selected range of text in a JEditorPane by   /**
       * set the attributes for a given editor. If a range of
       * text is selected, the attributes are applied to the selection.
       * If nothing is selected, the input attributes of the given
       * editor are set thus applying the given attributes to future
       * inputs.
       * @param editor  the editor pane to apply the attributes to
       * @param a  the set of attributes to apply
      public void applyAttributes(JEditorPane editor, AttributeSet a) {
        ((HTMLDocument) editor.getDocument()).getStyleSheet().addCSSAttribute(set, CSS.Attribute.COLOR, "#0D0D0D");
        editor.requestFocus();
        int start = editor.getSelectionStart();
        int end = editor.getSelectionEnd();
        if(end != start) {
          doc.setCharacterAttributes(start, end - start, a, false);
        else {
          MutableAttributeSet inputAttributes =
            ((SHTMLEditorKit) editor.getEditorKit()).getInputAttributes();
          inputAttributes.addAttributes(a);

  • How to change the color of a font/sentence ?

    what is a quick and easy method to change the colour of a sentence?
    thanks!!!

    what are you asking here?
    i'm confused because your questions is so simple
    the answer is to set the color of the text before you render it out
    if you're asking how to change the color AFTER it's in an image, well you can't, not by using the API anyway, you'll have to do some magic

  • How to change Text2D color at runtime...

    Hi,
    In fact I used Text3D and I was able to change color, text, font, style at runtime. I don't know if you guys have the same problem but Text3D doesn't render correctly (some letters are hidden by others) (i'm on a SGI Irix).
    So I decided to go back to Text2D but I can't find how to change the color, text, font and style at runtime.
    I've a Shape3D instance myShape = new Text2D(someParams);
    When I want to change it I tried myShape = new Text2D(otherParams);
    But nothing happened...
    I've tried detaching the shape, modify it, and re-add it to the graph, but it is still the same after adding it...
    If someone could tell me how I can do that it would be a great help.
    thank you

  • Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 book module?

    Why am I unable to change text color from black in LR5 Book Module?

    I'm assuming you clicked on the color patch besides the word <Character> to open the color picker window.
    At the right side of this window there is a vertical bar that has 2 horizontal black lines at the bottom.
    This is actually a slider. Pull it upwards with the color picker and color will appear in the window.

    Hi Vani!
    1. Unfortunately one of my requirements is that I can only get data from queries and not from Web Services or other sources, so no WS calling would be allowed in my deployed I-View, but thanks anyway for your suggestion.
    2. You are right, I was not clear enough in my first post. Let's say I have 3 rows and 12 columns, what I want is the following:
    ROW3 = ROW1 / ROW2
    obviously for each column. Do you have an idea about how it could be done??
    Thanks a lot,
