Hyperlink Behaviour Overriding CSS Specification

The hyperlinks of my project don't obey the CSS style
specified for "Hyperlink {hovered)" in which text is not
italicized. Some remain italicized even when the mouse pointer is
position over them. Others don't. There's no apparent rhyme or
reason to it.
I've compared code that behaves as it should to code that
doesn't and I don't notice any difference. Has anyone had trouble
with this before? My project links as inconsistent as a result, and
I can't seem to figure it out.

Hi Jennifer
I see Harvey hinted at this but wasn't explicit in pointing
it out.
It's quite possible that you have styling declared in the
topic itself. This is known as an Embedded style and these will
override anything specified in your linked Style Sheet.
To check this, edit the topic and click the HTML tab. Look
near the top of the page code. Do you see *ANYTHING* style related
other than something that looks like this?:
<link rel=StyleSheet href="SomeStleSheet.css">
You might see something that looks like this:
<style type="text/css">
</style>
If you see code like that in the HTML of the topic, delete
everything beginning with <style type="text/css"> and ending
with </style>. Then test your topic.
Cheers... Rick

Override css font color for input textfield?

I'm trying to override a font color for an input field that
is defined in a css. My css for the field looks like this:
input.text {
font-size: 1.5em;
color: #602E0C;
width: 400px;
I've added input.textfieldHintState { color: #999; } below it
but its not displaying the new color for the hint. The hint is the
same color as before. I'm trying to make the hint in the input
field somewhat grayed out.
Anyone know how to do this?

Thats a great example of CSS specificity.

If that doesn't help you out, do you have a online

Add a hyperlink to a css box? not sure what exactly do you mean. However, you can add a hyperlink in your html code like this:
<div id="Box1">
<h2>Heading Level 2</h2>
<a href="http://google.com">
<img alt="image-inside-box" class="auto-style1" height="340" src="https://sc.imp.live.com/content/dam/imp/surfaces/mail_signin/v3/images/SISU_0003_SkypeMidEngaged_475x340.jpg" width="475"></a></div>
hope this is what you are after.

Is it possible to have "OM: List Price Override Privilege" specific to pri

is it possible to have list price override privilege specific to price lists?

Hi,
Item group would be a better way to classify items. Especially for price list. Try it.

Need to override CSS style for link

I've set up a page with an external style sheet. I have a
link within a heading that I want to look different from my CSS
link style (I want it to match the heading). Is there a way to
override the basic style? I tried setting up a class and that
didn't work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Clearly there is a typo there. It should be either this -
.heading a:link {
(leading dot for heading - no SPACE after the colon)
or this -
#heading a:link {
depending on whether there is a custom class or an ID
selector being used to
identify the container for the link.

Odd hyperlink behaviour in Firefox

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing problems with hyperlinks in webhelp running on Firefox?
I have created a new webhelp system - nothing clever such as merging - just 70 or so topics.The help contains hyperlinks to other topics in the webhelp - these are left to page default (the intention being that they should open and replace the current page).
I have published the help to my C drive and am running it from there. When I select a link to another topic, the target topic opens for a second, then the help jumps to the parent folder for that topic. I just tried another webhelp system that I created a week ago (and was fine then) and it shows the same behaviour.
When I do exactly the same in IE, it works as expected.
I'm using Robohelp 7, Firefox 3.6 (it was the same with Firefox 3.5.7 so I tried upgrading) and Vista (though I tried on a Mac and it's the same, so I've ruled out an operating system quirk).
I'm guessing this is down to a recent Firefox update...or have I just done something daft?

Well, curious indeed! It now seems to be fixed.
The sample file was fine, so that put paid to my Firefox ranting.
I was checking the generate settings for anything that might be relevant, and noticed that it was set to synch TOC automatically. I changed this to synch manually and published again - it worked fine in Firefox. I then set it back to synch automatically and generated again, and it is still fine.
I then repeated the above with an older webhelp system that was OK last week but not today, and it seems to have fixed that too.
Thus my highly technical conclusion is that the TOC got its knickers in a twist.
Many thanks for your help Peter - I now have the sample files in case of future turmoil...

Override Aggregation specification for a measure in AWM

Hello,
I have a created a cube using AWM (10.2.0.1). I have 2 measures in this cube. I want each one of the cube to have a different aggregation specification.
There is an option in AWM to override the aggregation specification while creating the measure, but this option is greyed out. Why is this disabled and what should I do to enable this option.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Maruthi

Hello,
When I create the cube I left the 'Use Compression" option checked and that is the reason why I don't get to override the aggregation specification while creating the measures.

Is it possible to override CSS for Region Background ???

I'm trying to use OracleXE - APEX as my main Portal. The look & feel of the page is important, since I don't like to look just like any other out of the box application I like to setup a custom Theme or custom Style.
Since we don't have a lot of themes going on, and I like to keep things simple. what about this positioning trick:
In a html region enter the following code:
< img STYLE="position:absolute;TOP:350px;LEFT:600px;" src="http://www.oracle.com/admin/images/ocom/oralogo_small.gif" />
This will put the Oracle Logo in the specific position of the page required. It worked ok for areas or regions without Text. I'm not able to put as background just like the Body
in the main page background
[ [b]Trying to put a background Image to a Page no-repeat top left failed. ]
Is just a little trick to put images in some sections of the page, If somebody have some ideas regarding how to override the style setting of some HTML Region for some pic or color background it would be great !!!.
I look a lot into: Region HTML table cell attributes but no luck.
Best Regards Dino.

Help with creating hyperlinks in formatted CSS text

I'm having difficulty adding links using Dreamweaver. I first
format the text with a CSS style, then use the Properties window to
add the hyperlink (or Insert>Hyperlink menu). It creates this,
<p class="linkbodyleftcol"><a href="
http://www.amcc.com">AMCC</a></p>
However, when I place the cursor on AMCC in the design
window, most of the CSS styles I see in the CSS Styles menu are
crossed out with a message "...does not apply to your selection
because it is not inherited. It is applied to a closing tag."
To correct this, I modify the code to:
<a href="
http://www.amcc.com"><p
class="linkbodyleftcol"AMCC</p></a>
And this clears up the error. However, there must be a more
efficient way to add links while retaining CSS formatting. Could
someone point out a better method?
Best regards, -gary

But wouldn't this still entail adding a hyperlink in Design
view then editing this code in Code view?
Doesn't DW allow one to enter a hyperlink in Design view
while maintaining CSS? Seems hard to believe something so simple
would require going into the code, since CSS and hyperlinks are two
key ingredients in web design.

Auto Style Overriding CSS

I have a few situations where RoboHelp HTML 9 (9.0.0.228) is cluttering up my HTML by auto adding style statements to HTML tags that override the instructions from the CSS file. I am only irritated when it rewrites the following because the auto style is simply a duplicated instruction.
<strong> to <strong style="font-weight: bold;">
But when it add inline style statements to link tags it becomes unusable because it overrides my CSS instructions.
<a> to <a style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline; ">
Am I causing this to happen somehow? Is there a setting in RoboHelp where I can turn off theserewrites?

Hi William!
I ashamed to say that I didn't know about the '!important' declaration for CSS. I applied !important to my links <a> and they all work now, even when RH tries to overwrite my CSS work.
Your solution has reduced my situation from unusable to merely irritating.
Thank you!

Hyperlink from SharePoint to specific ppt slide or excel worksheet

I've tried using #slide number and #worksheet name but it doesn't work... is linking from SP to specific slide or worksheet possible? thx

Just tried this //sharepoint/Working-g%20Status.xlsx#Falm
I just put this into the IE 9 address bar and it took me to the "default" tab that was last saved and at the time open. Falmouth is a tab and should be opening to that tab, and it is not.

How do I: swap image in background when I have overriding CSS for that div

Hi: let's see if I can properly explain this delema:
Goal: I want to hover on spry menu main menu items and have the container background image change
Catch: I am using a template and have different background images on each page so I had to insert an inline CSS rule for the container bg image that overrides the template.
Now I want the background image to change when I hover over the main menu items
any ideas??
site can be seen at www.summitcreekcapital.com
THanks, Nancy

I don't see any real need to switch style sheets for something as mundane as change of bg image. Here's an alternative:
1) Add this to the head of your pages right before the closing </head> tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/bgSwitcher.js"> </script>
<link href="/css/bgimages.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
2) Then edit your menu items to add an onmouseover event that calls the "newbg()" function, with a memorable classname as a parameter appropriate for each menu item, like this:
<li><a href="firm_overview.html" onmouseover="newbg('foverview')">FIRM OVERVIEW</a></li>
<li><a href="firm_team.html" onmouseover="newbg('mteam')">MANAGEMENT TEAM</a></li>
<li><a href="code.pdf" target="_blank" onmouseover="newbg('cethics')">CODE OF ETHICS</a></li>
Please note my classnames were crafted to reflect the text of the link, like "Firm Overview" -> "foverview" rather than the imagename you will be using for the bg, so in the future if you decide to change that image, the classname will still make sense for that link!
3) and then in an external style sheet named "bgimages.css" which I've put in a /css/ folder (but you are free to rename all these paths, filenames etc)
put these:
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #container.foverview {
    background: url(../pic01.jpg);
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #container.mteam{
    background: url(../pic03.jpg);
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #container.cethics{
    background: url(../pic02.jpg);
Change the images and paths as needed of course. As always the path is always relative to the location of this css file.
4) And finally, in an external js file name "bgSwitcher.js" which I've put in a /js/ folder, paste this:
function newbg(classnm){
     var d=document;
     if (!d.getElementById) return;
     var c=d.getElementById("container");
     if (!c) return;
     c.className=classnm;
Hope that all makes sense. If I left you confused at any step just let me know.

CSS - Specifically bulleted and numbered lists

i am really struggling with the css and the bulleted and number list format.
i have so many questions i do not know where to begin so i will start with what i think should be just plain common sense:
1. i originally imported a css into the robohelp 8 project and have worked for a couple of weeks trying to straighten out the styles with no success
so today i started from scratch creating a new cascading style sheet but i have real questions about what i have created, where i can see it, how i can apply it and how it DOES NOT reflect in the toolbar styles drop down list.
first question:
i have a custom style sheet that clearly shows i have a list style defined called 'bullet1'. i can see the style in my formatting pod (pane) but i do not see it in the styles drop down list on the formatting toolbar. so why are my styles from my CSS not in the styles drop down list on the formatting toolbar and also, when i apply a style (say from the formatting pod/pane) shouldnt the drop down styles list reflect the style name when it is clicked on? For example: i clearly applied the bullet1 style (from the formatting pod/pane) and saved the topic. when i go and click on the bullet1 list, the style drop down on the formatting menu still says (none). no matter what i do, the only style that is reflected in the styles drop down field on the formatting toolbar (when i click on the text) is heading1 and heading2 but other than that, any numbered or bulleted style i create and apply does not show that that style has been applied.
second question:
what is the difference between the formatting pod (Pane) and the styles drop down list on the formatting toolbar? from experience with word, the styles drop down list on the formatting toolbar should reflect the current style when a character or paragraph is selected....it does not here in robohelp.
third question:
why does the style drop down list only show a few styles out of all of the styles that show in my CSS?
forth question:
can i assume that if i have a css created and applied TO ALL topics in the project that the 'formatting' pod/pane will show only those styles from that css? i am very confused on what i am seeing in the formatting pod/pane. are these JUST the custom styles created for a particular style sheet? are these ALL styles available in robohelp?
i am not liking how difficult it is to create a style (specifically bullets and numbers) , apply a style and to view the style that has been applied!
help!
Lori

Hi,
Drop down list shows paragraphs, headings and character styles. Also when you create a class style (.myclass) without a element selector, this style will show in the drop down list.
About lists, please see:

Override css settings

hi All,
I have a css sheet with some setting for tables.
I would like to override these css settings for 1 table only in the middle of the page.
How do I do this?

Thanks SnakEyez02

- but i want to change the TABLE basics - width:100%; height:100%; border:0px; etc. - seems these are GLOBAL settings for ALL tables - correct? how do I change these for just the 1 table?
thanks dave...
table, td {
width:100%;

color:#000;

Bridge CS4 Odd Hyperlink Behaviour In WinXP Pro

After I upgraded to Photoshop CS4 I configured Bridge to start on log-in under the Preferences, Advanced menu. Later I found that clicking on any hyperlink in another application, such as Microsoft Outlook or even from the Control Panel, Windows Update hyperlink, there would be a delay of as much as 60 seconds in bringing up a copy of IE7, if IE7 was NOT already running.
After pulling my hair out chasing "problems" in IE7 I found that the problem was caused by Bridge CS4 running in the background. When I unchecked the Start on Log-in box in Bridge Advanced Preferences and did a WinXP restart, the hyperlinks started working again.
Has anyone observed similar hyperlink problems or know how to fix this problem?
Bill

Can you determine what Bridge might be doing in the background? If it is pointed at a folder with many image files it might be generating preview images -- a processor intensive operation. This could be even more so if the images were camera raw files. A program launch request would be competing with Bridge for the CPU.
With Bridge running in the background, bring up the task manager with Ctrl-Alt-Delete and look at CPU usage in the performance tab. If it is high, exit bridge and see if it goes down.
Should you determine that the running Bridge is taking most/all of the CPU, then relaunch Bridge and see what Bridge might be doing: Is it pointed to folder with a lot of images to generate previews? Are preview generation options set to give Bridge a lot of processing work?
Look at what Bridge's Folders panel is pointing to. Is it a folder or folder hierarchy with many images? Click on View in Bridge and uncheck Show Items from subfolders if it is checked. (You might have Bridge pointed to My Pictures and trying to render and cache all the images there there.) Navigate Bridge to an empty folder. Does this reduce CPU usage (in the task manager display)?
Look at options for thumbnail quality and preview generation. Make sure Generate 100% Previews is not checked.
